General question had anyone located a place to get a LEGIT back cover replacement for the galaxy s4 ? I am looking to get a new back cover for my phone but all the websites sell fakes or Chinese aluminum covers. I cannot find a place to get an original cover. Thanks much.

I don't see the official samsung online store selling fakes.

Search eBay for "genuine galaxy s4 back cover", and pay via Paypal. At least, if it's a scam, you can open a dispute for selling counterfeit items. If "genuine" does not work for you, try "oem" or "original".

this is probably the best idea. I actually have 3 of them because I've had to send my phone in so many times. They always give me a new one. I don't know why.

whenever I've had to send mine in to the carrier, they always give me a new back cover. Like I said I don't know why they do this.

You requested warranty 3 times? What a bad luck. I don't understand either why they replace the back cover. It may be necessary on the Active version, where you must assure waterproof; or if the cover allows inductive charging which has its own circuitry, but not in the normal version.

Sorry I forgot about this thread. I didn't find any genuine back cover. Only 3rd party. That link to Amazon isn't Samsung lol.

I'm leery about buying anything that is not off Samsung's website anymore. I bought a "genuine" spare battery for the Galaxy S4 that turned out to be a fake. It looks different initially, so I just assumed it was a change in packaging, then the battery levels became unstable and dying extremely fast after 2 weeks. I looked online and it was similar to other fakes being sold.

I ordered mine from rbconnective.com and everything perfect and legit.
