If i had get another case to have the white color, i'd do this one.

I second this, myself owning this exact case. It is available through Amazon and ebay also, Amazon sells for a lower price, but with shipping considered ebay is cheaper. The white back is like some sort of polyester, mine has a few wrinkles at the edges, but it feels great to the touch. The case fits the phone snugly and the kick-stand is great too, solid feeling and adjustable in angle.

My brother in law has the white one and he is a printing press operator..... the white looks dirty all the time. He says that in retrospect... he should have gotten the black version. I agree, at least for someone that may be exposed to dirt, grease, oil, ink. A mechanic likely would HATE a white one!

Spoke with both Best Buy and Samsung today in my free time at work.

Best Buy said to contact their parts department at 1-888-237-8289

Samsung Rep also told me to call parts and said they will be able to place the order for you.
"Melvin: You can call official Samsung parts dealer at 1800-627-4368. Timings: Mon – Fri. 9am to 6pm EST."

I haven't called either yet, but will get around to it to see if we can buy a replacement and the cost of it. (I can't imagine it would cost more than the black which is about $7-8)

i just called both of these numbers, unfortunately samsung parts said the phone was 'too new' so they didn't have any parts yet; and best buy told me that i had to have a warranty thru bestbuy (aka had to buy my phone there) in order to buy parts. Any one else had any luck on a white battery cover?

I've seen a white battery cover on the dummy phones at best buy. Not sure if they have them for the real phones

Best buy sells a white edition fascinate. If you had taken the time and read the whole thread you would have seen that

sent from my fascinating fascinate eating delicious froyo.

Just to further comment on this, I got my hands on a dummy unit from a local Best Buy that had a cracked "screen" on it. When I went to try and disassemble it, I found that the entire phone is molded together and it is not a real battery cover on the back... very disappointing :(

I tried calling Samsung parts and no dice, they only offer the black battery door.

I doubt getting a white battery door that isn't third party is ever going to be possible.

Pretty messed up that they don't offer replacement parts for one of their own phones.

I'm not sure about this website (I didn't want to get 3 of em..)
but it lets you choose the color white..

(and I'm guessing mesmerize has the same cover as fascinate..)

Ebay has some, but they're rather expensive. The most I would want to pay for such a thing is 2-3 dollars. Any other price is blatantly disrespectful. It's a thin piece of plastic that in my opinion, only keeps the battery from falling out. That being said, I have a white case and it's awesome. :)

I need a new back cover for mine. It fell a long, long ways and the only thing that got really screwed up is the back cover. I currently have a white one but white/black I don't really care. Any links?
