Possible to buy replacement back cover for the Galaxy S3?

I haven't been able to find a case for my phone yet - at least not one I actually like, and I'm noticing some slight scratches at the bottom of the back cover. Obviously, it's not going to hinder the functionality of the phone, it's purely cosmetic, but I'd like to replace it when I do find my case. I have the Garnet Red color, and I'd like something that is of the same quality as the one included with my phone, or better - but I don't want metal. Can anyone help?
 
Depends on what you’re looking for?
Are you looking for cheap lookalike product (eBay) I’ve done some research and got a good decent looking product for
 
i have verizon and upon putting battery in first time i stripped a clip. verizon sent me a mfg replacement. i had to wait a few days because i requested it before the retail release since i got my pre order early.

i would suggest reaching out to your carrier. samsung flat out denied me a replacement under warranty.
 
Do a quick google search for this, EFC-1G6FBEC
This is an official samsung cover that replaces the back of the phone and includes a cover for the screen. I have had mine since i got my phone and love it. It adds no bulk to the phone and protects the screen in my pocket. It does not give loads of protection to phone all round but is perfect for my needs. Good luck.

I looked at this when I bought my phone, and I did like it, but I worried that the cover for the screen would interfere with picture taking. What are your thoughts on that?

also: at&t wanted $50 for it. I did a search and couldn't find it online in red, other than at that at&t store, of course, but $50 seems really steep for such an item....
 
How about one of the Anymode "Fashion Covers" - these are replacement backs with a leather covering. I think there may be a red one (or is it pink.....). Leather means no fingerprints

Because I like a flip cover, I have a blue Anymode "Flip Folio Cover" for my pebble GS3. It's like the Samsung Folio Cover but in leather.

Kind regards
 
Hi there, when holding it to take a picture, the flip does not interfere, you just obviously dont have it bent fully back. I just read your original post again and realised you said you had the phone in red. I had a quick look and also found this one, HOCO Samsung Galaxy S3 Genuine Leather Flip Case - Red
I have to say though to anyone that the blue one suits that it is an excellent case as the back is the same as the original that it replaces and the front has a really nice brushed look to it.

Hope you find something suitable.
