Replacement backplates?

---

Anyone found any replacement backplates for the Galaxy S yet?

Looking for one that isn't coated in Teflon like the stock backplate. Don't really want to put it in a silicon case, I would rather cover it in skateboard grip tape, I hate silicon cases that much.

Thanks in advance.

check ebay for the zenus cases

just type in "zenus cases" to pull them up -for some reason using "samsung galaxy" doesnt

Cheers mate, looking for a direct replacement of the battery cover/backplate, but glad to know the Zenus cases are on eBay.

sorry - brain hiccup - thought i'd posted that in another thread

getting old ain't for pansies

ten chars!!!

Yeah I want one that isn't quite so slippy in your hand, ordered a Zenus case, but there will be times when I want to use it out of that, and at the moment it's really easy to drop.

Brando often sells replacement housings, I'm sure it won't be long till they do the same for the sgs.

hmm a replacement backplate would be nice
im thinking in the line of higher capacity battery with slighly thicker backplate to accomodate the thicker battery and get rid of the bump on the bottom part at the back
a thicker backplate will also recess the camera lens protecting it from scratches
i also find that the very thin profile of the galaxy s makes it difficult to hold sometimes. a thicker backplate will also make it easier to handle

if only

Yeah it's cool how many cases you can already get for the latest iphone while for the SGS there still isn't a single decent case available in the US or Europe The Korean stuff that's a bitch to order and takes 2 weeks to get anywhere doesn't count.

I don't like Apple but sometimes they seem to be the only ones that just get really simple **** like 'hey maybe they want a case for that $600 smartphone so let's make some!' Or 'OK, we just designed our best phone ever, let's spend an extra dollar and not put a flimsy piece of plastic on the back.'

It's just so simple.
