Battery cover mod

---

So I did a little experiment last night with my battery cover. It went great. I managed to maintain a mostly stock look and added a lot of tackiness so it has more of a rubbery texture to it.

I used this clear coat, about 5 anywhere.

I only did 2 coats so it wouldnt add to much thickness. I waited about 2 hours between. I did not sand or do any kind of prep work other than clean it.

Here is how it looks next to a stock cover.

Mine is on the right. Hope this helps everyone that wants to maintain a semi stock look with a lot better feel. As far as protection goes...... yea, I doubt it offers any at all. But I like it.


Please, if u attempt this, remove the cover from the phone first. I know this may seem silly, but there are those type of people out there.

I've been KANGBANGED!!!!!

But my phone looks silly without the cover on.

On another note, great job!

Lmao. I actually dealt with it for a couple hours while it was drying.

Just a quick update, I guess that particular clear is very temperature sensitive, that being said it pretty much melted and stuff was getting stuck to it. So I now have a completely sanded down back cover, looks nice and still easier to hold than the stock cover

looks really good!

put a picture up of your sanded battery cover?

I did your mod the other day using the clear coat for plastic got some of it at OSH applied 2 coats came out great, no sanding just cleaned cover with some alcohol and paper towel. It covered up all the scratches. first day was slippery but its good now.

Be careful. I had issues with mine and heat.

I still want to sand it again just to.make it even. But I live the way it feels now.

Maybe try plasti-dip? that will tolerate the heat well.

Swyped...
