S4 Mini Metal Back Cover - Not Case!

[cuben]

Hello all,

Does anyone know if a replacement back cover is available in metal? Not a case that goes over the back cover but a metal version of the back cover?

Sounds like an awesome idea to me for that premium feel!

Thanks, John.

I have found some on ebay but i'm not sure if i'm allowed to share the links here, anyway, it's not hard to find them there at all. Good luck!

wouldn't a metal cover interfere with the radios?

The quality of original back cover is too bad it's like egg shell :|

They make the back cover out of plastic so the NFC can work properly. So if you use NFC, having a metal case would be a bad idea

I have bought my case on the Aliexpress. It is rubber/plastic case with thin aluminium plate on the back.
No problem with NFC, WiFi, GPS and signal strenght.

Yes.. I have one on order

on amazon . com search for - Graphic Case Hard Skin Case Cover Pouch - Metal Aluminum Steel Shiny Reflective - Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini i9190 MINI VERSION! -

It is a back cover, not a case despite the wierd description. This is closest I could find. Super cheap and labled as plastic and aluminum so I am hoping its all metal on outside. I agree that the backs are flimbsy.. I have 3 batteries that I constantly switch out and taking it off and on all the time has caused it to crack. Hoping that the metal does not bend. ... we shall see!
