Any way to make phone feel more 'premium?'

[aandrewalv8]

I want the phone to have a heavy more premium feel, and is there a way to do this? Such as replacing the battery cover or something with a heavier one?

Put it in a case that is made of a material you like more.

Take it back and exchange it for the EVO

You want it heavier? Musta come from a fruit phone...heavy as a brick!

I bought me a couple of these. Initially I thought they replace the battery cover, but it snaps onto the rear to provide some additional protection. The camera lens is now recessed which is great to prevent scratches.

They have a brushed aluminum look and look fantastic on the phone.

Get a TBolt.... Nice heavy feel to it.

What's a tbolt?

Those aluminum backs look really nice but will they effect with the signal of the phone?

I've experienced no drop in signal strength. Reception is the same with or without the cover on.

You could bedazzle it

Put a OB Defender on it.

I don't understand. Samsung, and every other phone manufacturer, invest piles of money to trim every single gram and make the phones as light as possible. To me, light = premium! Why do you think that heavy = premium?

To me it feels too light. I like the weight of the htc or iPhone, especially the back cover, it's so thin and flimsy

Put a case on it. Problem solved.

With a light phone, you can make it heavier. With a heavy phone, you're screwed. I'll take light please.

These look pretty cool. On there website they sell a black cover with black leather insert. It is a replacement for your current batter door and not a snap on cover which has its pros and cons.

Here's an actual battery door that should give a premium feel to it

There are a lot of color options.

How about one of these? It's extremely "premium"!

No LTE though

 

[aandrewalv8]

Aren't I screwed no matter what? Doesn't this phone break on any fall?

 

[aandrewalv8]

I was actually planning on getting that in a few weeks actually hahaha
