Has anyone tried these yet? Is there anything built into the oem back cover?

Ordered the blue and brushed metal. My clear TPU case should be here soon, I'll use that until it arrives. I'm also searching for a nice rubber bumper, preferably clear or gray. I like minimal casing, but I'm having second thoughts too this phone is light as a feather.

THANK YOU! It's been confirmed, no more wondering now. Now we just need someone who bought it to take some pics. I would love to see the all white GSIII with the chrome and silver metal backing #classy :)

Hey all, just signed up for this forum. Have been following AC news on Pulse for quite sometime and didnt know there was a forum.

Anmyways i just purchased two of these covers. The Litchi whiten leather texture and the Aeruginosa stone mettalic brushed(light blue). Eh for $11.50 ill see how the NFC works with them. Right now i only use NFC tags anyways in my car and home.

The GS3 isnt compatible yet with Google Wallet. So if it dont work, bummer, but ill have a nice looking phone with my clear back case til i decide to change it back. Not sure if the leather back texture is metal anyways. It didnt say.

here are the pics as promised...one thing i have noticed and i dont know if its new battery cover related or what (i dont think its LG8 related as i've had the update for about 3 days already) but every now and then today i get the roaming warning and the triangle/exclamation point icon at the top. it started today when i put the new cover on and its increasing my cell standby/TWS percentage draining my battery. like i said i dont think its related to the new LG8 update as i've had the update for a few days and didnt have the roaming issue...anyways here are the pics and any info would be appreciated. is anyone else getting this roaming issue with the new battery cover? thanks

Finally! Thanks mbm! It looks pretty sweet :)
How does it feel in the hand compared to the plastic one?

I like the way it feels. Doesn't feel cheap at all even though it only costs like $8 with tax/shipping. It does feel a little heavier than the original battery cover but it snaps perfectly in place with no gaps or anything. And its just a tiny bit thicker than the original
