Red 64 gig turbo!

[zathus]

my red battery cover showed up today. I love the ballistic nylon, but the fraying was sending my OCD into overdrive lol case anybody was wondering, as most would figure that fits the 64 gig version perfectly. With the black power and volume keys it actually looks better than the factory version I think. I'll post some pics later when I have a second camera available.

Nice! Did the adhesive make it difficult to remove the original back?

Where did you buy it?

I trust you're going to share a pic or two with us... Congrats!

Yes I would like to see some pictures. Was it hard to get the back off? Does it adhere to the back alright? Did it come with led's for the flash?

I don't get threads like this. Why even start the thread if you have no pictures or information to share?! It's like when someone says they got something great to tell you and then says, "hey, I'll call you back". #epicthreadfail.

Lol ya. I got over excited. I'll post some tonight with my Wifes phone .

So about the adhesive. No its not to hard. The top corner clips are the hardest part. Its hard to get them to pop loss and I was worried about damaging the frame.

I ordered it from eBay. Google droid turbo battery cover, it should pop up in shopping. Mine was 25 but I saw one for 19 yesterday.

The fit is really tight and clean. I have to admit, I never looked at the mgf models because I wanted 64 gigs. But wow it feels great in the hand. I am so pleased with it! My only concern is how it holds up. The bn is pretty much scratch proof. The mfg model is basically Kevlar with a soft touch clear coat. But that's OK, I ordered another one as a backup. I also ordered a second bn back to experiment with. I want to try and remove the bn and try leather! But that's a another project.

Understandable. ?

I might be interested in this but I'd have to see your pics. I kinda like the black ballistic nylon, but your description sounds cool.

Speaking of battery covers, I never knew there's a blue nylon one.

There's a lot of them for around $22USD on aliexpress.

Fun fact! The bn turbo is also made of Kevlar... Interesting...

Looks good but I want to find one without the verizon logo if possible

What kind of adhesive did you use to put the charging pad back on?

What kind of adhesive did you use to put the charging pad back on?

If you talking about that black rubber pad in the teardown video. That's just a guard to protect the charging coil from the battery cover. In the tear down video the guy made it seem like you have to be very careful with that. It's just a piece of rubber. And I actually detact the side of it facing the back plate. So that it only stuck to the phone. I used lint lol

That's actually a good point. So, if you end up doing this. When you take the back plate off, That black piece of rubber that's protecting the coil. You're going to want to make sure that not sticky on the part facing the battery cover. Once you remove the back plate the adhesive strength of it is going to be weaker. So if you don't make it not sticky, when you put the phone back together everytime you touch that spot it could make a noise and be quite irritating. Plus I'm not sure if the curvature between the two battery covers is the exact same.

Not possible. There is no international red version, so therefore there is no red version without the Verizon logo. I don't know how hard it would be to remove. I think its laser etched. I was actually giving that a thought.. How I can remove it lol

Your BN was fraying? That's not giving me the warm fuzzies. Maybe I should get the red back instead of the blue BN. Something so I can tell my phone from my wife's.

I don't get posts like this. It's the OEM red Kevlar back. It should look exactly like the red turbo you'd get at Verizon. Pics were nice but not needed.

Yeah. In one spot it was fraying. Not super bad. My wife always told me I was seeing things lol so it was that minimal. I'm just really ocd on phones.

I'd love to go to the red cover so I can use one of the magnetic car mounts. Are there instructions on taking the back off?

Edit: I picked up the red one for $19 on eBay. after I saw the teardown video. Seems stupidly easy to replace. Can't wait to get this so I can install a ProClip car mount for the Turbo. I love the BN back, but the fact very little works with it makes it useless IMO.
