I am absolutely loving my Fascinate (rooted, lag fixed, and de-Binged of course). Awesome upgrade from my Droid Eris! However, I have one major gripe with it so far, and that's the battery cover, or back plate, whatever you wanna call it. I am definitely not a fan of the glossy finish on it. If my fingers are the least bit wet or greasy, it makes it very hard to hold onto. The battery cover on my Eris had some kind of slightly rubberized matte finish, and I never, ever had trouble holding onto that phone.
So, I'm looking for a solution. Ideally, it would be in the form of a direct replacement for the OEM battery cover that is made of the grippy material like the Eris had, but I might settle for some kind of stick-on skin, if there's a good one that will eliminate the slipperiness. I've searched a bit, but haven't found any good solutions yet. Anyone suggestions would be appreciated. Oh, but please don't suggest cases of any kind. I have a good leather belt holster already that the phone fits in perfectly, and adding a wraparound case of any kind would be redundant, and also would prevent the phone from fitting in my current case.
Actually, I think I found a solution, thanks to a thread on the Android Central forums. Stealth Guards is apparently giving away all their screen protectors away for free for a limited time. You pay only the cost of shipping, which for me was $2.85, and the protector was originally $14.99. It's actually a full body protection skin, not just a basic screen protector. I'll probably just use the part for the back, and not mess with the front screen protector part at all. Here's the link:
http://www.stealthguards.com/index.php/cellphones/samsung-fascinate-full-body-protection.html
Note that they have free protector kits for most all the popular phones available right now, and if you like their Facebook page, you could win prizes (such as iTunes or Best Buy gift cards) on the way to 1000 likes, and after they top 1000, they'll hold a drawing to give away a new 6th-gen iPod Nano.

THANKS!!! Just ordered one for me and one for my girlfriend... I didn't want to add a case, but this will keep our phones looking fancy!
hey this looks really cool. can you let us know how this works out after you get it? i was just at the bar the other day (you know how when ur holdin a cold beer and ur hands get wet) i was like god this phone is slippery
I got full body invisible shield.
I removed the SP and got realook because i didn't like the rubber feel on the screen.
But i left the back piece on it makes the back feel allot better and gives it a kind of rubbery feel and reduces finger prints and also helps protect from scratches
It and makes the over all phone feel solid.
Thanks for the link. Picked up 2 of these for my phone.
Thanks for the link too, got one for me and two coworkers. Hell of a deal even if it's mostly crap. I just want it forthe back cover too. Way too slippery.
I'd like it if Seidio's innocase for this phone just protected the back/sides and left the front alone. I like the soft touch on those...
Even my HTC TP2 had a soft tough battery door stock.
Oh dang, I forgot to reply back to this. I got my Stealth Guard as expected (just an envelope in the mail, almost thought it was junk mail at first). Sadly, there NO instructions (except for a YouTube video on their website, which was a joke), but after digging up some info online, I washed and dried the battery cover, sprayed it with some slightly soapy water, and applied the skin. I rubbed out most of the bubbles fairly easily, and as others have said, after 2-3 days, all remaining bubbles and odd-looking film went away, and if not for the ridge at the edge of the skin, you wouldn't know it was on there. Oh, I did have a bit of trouble getting the corners to stick down to the curved corners of the battery cover, but I kept working on them, and they did eventually stick as the water started to dry up a little. So far there's no evidence of peeling or anything.
I do have to admit that it's not as grippy as I expected, but it is some better than the bare surface, and should prevent the back from getting scratched up, which I was starting to see evidence of, even with careful treatment of the device. I'm undecided if I'll ever apply the front piece or not at this point, but seeing how clearly the back piece applied, I wouldn't expect it to affect visibility at all.
I ordered another one of these for my brother-in-law's Droid Incredible, and would recommend them to anyone else as well, unless you want to try a different brand, in the hopes of getting an even grippier surface for the back side. But I think that for a mere $2.85, you really can't find a better deal anywhere.

Well, I ordered the Verizon / OEM, "kickstand" hard case in hopes of a good solution for the slippery back. Looks like this case only covers the back and sides of the phone and leaves the front untouched which is what I wanted as far as a case, and it looks quite thin too. Plus, it has a kickstand built in which I really wanted since my TP2 had a sliding/tilting screen. The back of this case is grooved with like a patchwork pattern so I'm sure it's a lot grippier.
Verizon wants $20 for them, but I got it for $10 including shipping on eBay! I'll post back how it is when I get it, but I think it's the best solution i've seen.
Have the kickstand case & it's pretty good. It also has 4 raised "feet" at the corners on the back which give it some speaker clearence when flat & act as friction points for your hand or loose pocket. The kickstand is a good alternative for a desk cradle & makes utilizing the alarm clock easier.

Bulky cases like that don't work for me. I use a belt holster case that I picked up from Best Buy, and any other protector case would make it bulky to put into the holster. That's why this stick-on protector was attractive to me, as it adds no unnecessary bulk. But that's just my preference. If you prefer a hard case, you'll get no argument from me.

Directly from the VZ site....I am gonna experiment with one...Im looking for a sort of rubber spray paint...If i can find one im gonna spray it.
Maybe with the white fascinate coming out at best buy I can buy the white back. Looks nice.
Ok, got the OEM/Verizon Kickstand case in and the $2 Stealth Guards films. The kickstand case is THE solution for the battery door IMHO, but I got both mainly for this reason. Mini review of each:
The Kickstand case, I got from eBay, for $11 shipped w/ tax (just search for "fascinate kickstand"), which is half off the in store price you'll find. It is THE solution to the slippery battery door IMHO, and the best case out there right now. The case has a slight rubberized / soft touch finish, and has a grip pattern in it, which makes it much easier to hold onto. It's quite thin, except for a bump caused by the kickstand, which is leveled so the phone lays flat, by some "feet" on the back. That slight bump I actually like, because I can easily tell which way the phone is oriented in my hand without looking at it. It provides nice protection to the sides and corners and back, so I think it will provide added drop protection. It fits very tight, I wouldn't expect it to come off ever. What I really like, is that it barely protrudes above the front of the phone at all, it adds a very slight lip at the sides, and that's it. This keeps the phone quite flat/thin still and doesn't change how you'd interact with the screen at all. The slight lip should help protect the screen though. All the cutouts are excellent in positioning, and provide nice "cover" for the side buttons against accidental actuation.
Probably the nicest thing of all which I didn't expect, is that the Kickstand works in both Portrait with the phone vertical, and horizontal in landscape, due to the way they positioned the kickstand on the back. It works great - this takes care of one of the things I missed from my Touch Pro2 (the tilting screen). It also has a tensioner, which allows you to tweak the angle in horizontal/landscape a bit because it's "stiff". For the $11 I paid for it, it's worth every penny and seems quite solid/well engineered for the price.
Only downside I see is that it's a bit tougher to take the battery out of course..
The Stealth Guards films are better than nothing, but not much grippier than stock. They come with just two films, front and back. Application and clarity is similar to other "invisible shield" type products. Not a very good screen protector (orange peel, tiny bubbles, not crystal clear), Steinheil is WAY better, but they don't have them yet for our phones so I'll use this in the mean time. Also, they cover the light/prox sensor at the top of the phone, which I found made the automatic backlight adjustment sorta freak out and switch more often than it should (probably because the protector is relatively thick and not crystal clear) - I cut a tiny window out around them with a razor blade and that fixed the issue. They shipped in an envelope, inside another envelope, I ordered 3 sets for myself and friends, and every one came with wrinkling/damage. Fortunately the films are very durable so the films themselves were unharmed - it was the paper backing that was wrinkled. Still, they could of reinforced the envelope with a little cardboard.... Also they come with no instructions or packing at all, just bulk/oem packed. Still, for $2 they were worth it, but not worth much more than that.

I had that for the LG G3. I really liked it.
I always use bumper cases because it does not press on the back cover when I put Qi receivers, and also allow heat to escape from the back.
Is there anyone in here who used this Nillkin bumper case? Please tell us how it is...
I can't find it yet available in US, but it's all over ebay and amazon but coming from china...
I've got one on my phone right now, the grey one to be exact.
its nor what i'd call excessively bulky, but some people might complain over that, the screen is protected with the regular bump on the front part, its quite grippy as the back side remains accessible, the feel of the case is amazing, cutouts are perfect, materials are good, uses bumpy tpu-ish gel-ish plastic on the back and front size for the shock apsorbing, sides are made from strong plastic aswell. Buttons are easily accessible, very easy to press, but doesnt press when putting the phone in the pockets, didnt scratch the phone sides (yet) and its easy to remove even tho its a quite tight fit case.
the little backside rubber part make the phone stable on a flat surface, makes it stick a bit from the ground so the camera is protected. If you drop your phone directly on the back part on a non flat ground your camera will prolly be shattered.
Its my everyday case, would for sure recommend it (got it for about 8$ from ebay)
lemme know if you have any more questions :>

Thanks, the rubber at the front, is it loose or does it feel like it will loosen up in time? I have ordered one anyway because I like bumper cases. Thanks

Its very tight, it wont loosen as the side plastic holds it at place, its an unibody case tho, so the rubber wont separate from the plastic bit. But its quite good, disallows the specs of dust and sand to get in between the case and the metal bezels of the phone, overall i'm very satisfied with it on that area.
The grip is great, buttons work very well and it lets heat escape.
I own two spigen, uag and many cheap ones.
I prefer this one any day.
I bought the gray first. Loved it except the front part is gray.. I thought it was black like all the others with the colors on the back.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I bought the orange and I absolutely love it.
I like it so much. That I already bought the other two colors, red and blue.. ?

About 8.27$ on ebay, got mine for the aprox same price
I really want to use the phone without a case and just a tgsp.. But I am unsure how scratch resistant it is. I am about to receive a replacement phone from Google as my first had issues. What do you guys use?
Definitely get a screen protector. Just having it in my pockets caused many small screen scratches over time.
As for the phone itself, the beveled metal edges around the screen scratch and dent VERY easily. A slight accidental bump can permanently mess it up pretty badly. The back metal of the phone seems to hold up very nicely, though.
i have no screen protector or case and I wouldnt have it any other way. That being said the edges are a thinner metal then a coke can so it will nick easily
This phone is too slippery to use without a case imo. I use a Spigen Thin Fit to help with grip and I'm happy.
Always wrap your thing!
Using a slickwraps skin. It's much easier to hold without a case because it's less heavy and thinner (due to how long the phone is)
I'm using my phone absolutely naked, have insurance in case something happens to it in lieu of a case.

I feel the same way however I'd like to keep this phone looking good.. I've gone with the Rhino bumper which is thin, discreet and you can still feel the back of the phone..plus the protection is supposed to be amazing.
The only problem I have now is that the case looks good too so I want to protect that now lol.
30 dollars with shipping, I'm in the UK and it came in under a week. A great case.
All I have on my phone is a dbrand skin. Unfortunately, I had an issue where it dropped a short distance (6 to 12 inches) and landed on a corner and it knicked up that corner near the screen pretty good, but not enough to convince me to buy a case yet... lol Haven't had any problems with any screen scratches or any other cosmetic damages yet.

Straight from the evo labs website. No restrictions. Here within a week. I did pay p&p but that's expected. About 4 quid I think.
One thing id like to say though, the rear clearance is not 100% the very centre of the back is slightly exposed, the bumper does not offer complete clearance when you push it against a flat surface.
If you don't know what I mean.
Take your phone and slide the back of it along the edge of a surface, say a mantelpiece or a shelf and whilst the start of the case is covered, towards the middle is not..
Not the end of the world but I'd have liked the clearance, ironically, tech 21 always offers this , something to consider.

Unfortunately, my N6P is my only camera at the moment. I'm sure most people wouldn't even notice the ding from a distance, but every time I run my finger along it, I cry a little inside.
Have a good one!
I have a glass screen protector, a Dbrand black carbon fiber skin for the glass panel on the back, and carry the phone around in a FitBag pouch.
This phone is the first where i must have a case for traction, its soo slippery and i want to hold it casually and treat it like a normal phone. I bet if i had it in my pocket it will just defy gravity and just fly out, would get a skin but seeing how easy it was to bend the bezel with my finger nail, i dont want break it in the first year,
I got one of these, the thinnest case i could find.i know it wont help in a fall but it will help against wear and tear

I've always rocked my phones naked. This time around I'm using a skin. Had a front back skin. Did drop it once too >_<. Thankfully it's just a small dent right above the camera visor. The skin on my phone is slippery so I ordered a more grippier one and took off the front skin because ambient display works better without it.
I have only a d brand frame for the camera.
I have glass screen protector and tried a clear thin case, but am back to no case..just the glass. No problems. I did add a little non-slip round piece to the back..it stays in my pocket just a little better, and totally stops it from sliding off a flat surface.
In and out of pocket all day, I am not real careful about keys or coins and no issues. I have done this with HTC M7,8,9 also with no problems. I hate hiding a good looking phone with an ugly case...and no case I have ever seen enhances the look.
Any one know of a transparant case that is compatible with slickwraps? Bought the galactic series but want some extra protection...

I think it needs no protector.However,my wife bought an iPely screen protector from Amazon for me.I think it feels perfect.That's great.

I have the same one, and I am pretty happy with it too.
I have one also, but it doesn't let the infrared light to pass trough it's glass (i verified with a camera). Does the infrared light works on your's? Otherwise I like it very much.
Yes, that back battery cover really good! I'm already using for 3 weeks now. It saved my phone when it has fallen down a concrete surface.
Not any problem with remote control functions.
Other info: I would not recommend any back cover what is FULL aluminium. I bought one and the GPS signal went low!
I have this one also and I can confirm no problems with IR or any other system.

Thanks, bought and will come back and tell you how good/bad it is!
I have the brown one.
Really love it.
Very cheap ( +- $5 ) but very good quality :good:
How is this case in terms of protection, does the metal framing provide better protection as opposed to silicon? will it be enough to protect the phone from falling on hard surfaces?
Actually it's plastic and not metal but it's good enough for a few bumps ...if it goes off really bad I don't think there's a case that will protect your phone.
I've dropped my phone a few times already, unfortunately. I've been lucky so far, I agree with PascM that no case will protect you from a really bad fall.
One fall was on one of the edges from about 1m on a wooden floor, no damage at all. The other fall was from the same height flat on the screen, only scratched the (glass) display protection.
Hmm I have one it looks fantastic but it seems to hinder wifi range... I want to take it off and compare, but how do I take it off?? Its really tight and good fitting is there some technique I can use ??

Finally arrived, I am very pleased with the cover.
It fits great and although it seems to hinder my GPS signal, I don't really care as I could swap it if I really had the need, and I am not even 100% sire it is the cover.
The grip is grea and the build is great for the price.
I dropped my phone and the case has now a dent, but it is normal as it is cheap plastic.
For the summer time maybe consider buying another color which isn't black!
Thats all, thx OP for the heads up.

The best.
I just get delivered this one
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-...d-Glass-Protective-Case-Back/32606477247.html
and I have to say I'm very satisfied. It feels very solid and fits tightly. It's much better than original case. Only "problem" is that back of it is tempered glass and it's polished so if you have sweaty hands like me, you are not gonna avoid fingreprints on it.
I've had like 3 of them, the "aluminium paint" wears off. It's a good case for like 2 months, I'm using the phone without a case atm.
Got a brown one as well. Much better than the glass one I bought before which made it just noticeably too heavy and thick. definitely recommend.
Now to find a glass screen protector that doesn't shatter from the easiest fall.
I am not a big fan of phone cases and never actually used one on my Pixel devices but this frosted glass on Pixel 4 is soo slippery so I decided to go with a dbrand case because of case customization. I can tell that the case really is super grippy and my phone doesn´t slide out of my pocket like before.
Only problem for me is the main selling point of this case,skins. Installation is super easy and you really can´t mess it up like regular skins but after a day of using it with a skin I noticed that dust collects like crazy around the edges of the skin and it doesn´t look really nice. Now I am using it without a skin and there is no dust at all on the back or edges. It´s still a nice solid case with a lot of protection and I´ll keep using it for sure but without skin. Did anyone else noticed this?
I have a skin on mine and no dust gets stuck on the back. The front however, quite a bit of dust accumulates. I'd say that's the only downside of the case though. The level of grip on the case has ruined all other cases for me.

So how do I get so much dust on the back? I ordered limited teardown skin. Maybe the fit is not 100% so dust can come in.

I am also a big fan of the grip case. I have the swarm skin installed, and it just looks and feels awesome. I have a few cases lying around, which are just obsolete at this point. No problem charging wirelessly, but then again i never had any problem with any case regarding qi charging.
I ordered the case and a carbon fiber skin for my Pixel 4 XL. I just hope the skin is easy to install with no bubbles. I don't wanna mess it up and have it wasted.
Just to update everyone. Got the new case and skin yesterday and everything looks good now,no dust at the edges. I don't know what was wrong with the first skin and dust collecting,it's weird.
Does the squeeze feature still able work with the case? I'm thinking to buy it and honestly this is a big selling point for me?
Thanks.

One of the best cases for pixel. Nice grip & protection, very very tactile buttons. Love it.
Agree
I've bought it almost two months ago and honestly I'm really disappointed. The case itself is good looking and the feeling is good however it literally unglued itself around the edges from the whole bottom part of the case.
I haven't dropped it or abused it in anyway (just cleaned it with soapy water twice) and now literry it not usable since it all over my hands when I hold it. I can't glue it back since the rubber part is a little too big and just can't hold it perfectly enough so that the glue sticks.

I also bought the prism screen protector and the experience is even worse. Because of the sensors the pixel 4 has it is literally cut off from the top and aligning it correctly is a nightmare(because there is nothing to actually have a reference point to). Even if you manage to apply it, the sides won't stick perfectly to the glass of the phone and you have awful edges (the gestures are hell to execute and in time painfull for fingers). On top of the the protector is pretty thick (which is good and bad).

I've bought it almost two months ago and honestly I'm really disappointed. The case itself is good looking and the feeling is good however it literally unglued itself around the edges from the whole bottom part of the case.
I haven't dropped it or abused it in anyway (just cleaned it with soapy water twice) and now literry it not usable since it all over my hands when I hold it. I can't glue it back since the rubber part is a little too big and just can't hold it perfectly enough so that the glue sticks.

It seems that's a know issue and acknowledged by them: https://www.reddit.com/r/dbrand/comments/irmpup/the_truth_about_the_dbrand_grip/
Get in touch with them. From the reddit page: "You should still write in to our Customer Experience team if it happens to you - we'll work something out."

I'll just order another skin and see how it fits. Kinda like it without skin. It looks sleek.

Where in the world do you find more skins for this case? I ordered regular skins and they're to big. Can't find skins for case without ordering the case with it.
