has anyone seen any sort of "grip enhancer" for the phone?

**XKxRome0ox** · 07-25-2012, 07:10 PM

did not use a case on the galaxy s1 or s2.5 and had no problem
but the s3 is much slimmer and slicker
i am a frequent battery swapper so i don't want a full skin/case
but i do feel like i need to do something to make sure the s3 doesn't slip out of my hand

has anyone come across a ... phone back case (the battery cover) replacement with a better grip?
a not so pretty solution would be gluing/attaching some sort of grip to the battery cover

any leads?

Any of the shield type protectors should provide more grip.

Check eBay there are various battery door replacements

This might be overkill, but a attached to a case seems like it'd be helpful in certain situations.

I use the OEM Samsung Ultra slim case. It adds grip and is so thin that it doesn't look like there is even a case on. When I tell people my phone has a case. They have to stop to see if it does have a case.

I would buy one of those in a heartbeat if they weren't selling a $3 piece of plastic for $30. Tone down the high-end packaging and sell it to me for $15 before the knock-off's start flooding the market with $8 replicas.

I have to say, I was a little concerned about the smooth surface when I first got it, coming from 2 previous smartphones that had the soft-touch black backing.

However I personally don't think it is a problem anymore. If your fingers have any amount of moisture on them the phone sticks like glue.

I'll have to see what happens when winter rolls around and humidity levels plummet, but for right now I'm digging this hyper-glaze, or whatever they call it.

check out phantom skinz. They seem to be pretty popular around here. Might give you more protection and group with out the bulk

i've been using my phone without any cover or skin ... and haven't had any problem

We have a case called the Thin Grip coming out very soon from DBA Cases. It may be what you're looking for.

I put a Case Mate Barely there case on the back, while it doesn't add bulk and does add very little protection (better than none though) I just put a clear screen protector on the back to cover the artwork on the case and provide a bit more traction.

So far so good...
