So if you don't like the plastic back... here's a metal one!!! :D

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

Where did you find it?

I looked on the original link and don't see them anymore

sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III on T-Mobile! goodbye Sprint!
 
I switched it back to the battery cover that came with the phone. I kept having roaming issues, network errors, & texts wouldn't go through. They kept failing and giving me a code3: network problem error. I even had sprint provision my phone ota and still nothing. Since I switched it to the original cover no more issues. Maybe it's a coincidence that I had this problem with the new cover or its completely unrelated but maybe the metal has something to do with it. Anyways I still like the cover and can't really complain as it was cheap in price. Let me know if anyone else has the same issues when they use it.

I'm not having any reception issues

I'm gonna try again and see what happens. It coulda just been a coincidence. Could it have possibly cause reception issues with the metal backing plus my otterbox defender case?

I also like the looks and the quality of construction and fit.

I also have the issue with Roaming warnings since installing the back.

It's unfortunate, but it definitely affected my reception on Sprint. (For the record, I have never had an issue on Sprint before, including with the GSIII before putting on my metal back.)

if anyone still wants to change up the battery cover but is having issues with reception with the metal ones they do have plastic options here. I ordered it and as soon as I get it I'll post pictures

heres the plastic battery cover...i like it...no reception issues what so ever. the only thing i noticed is that it adds just a hair to the phone and made it a little difficult to close shut my otterbox defender case. but i was able to do it. here are some pics and yes i love the color pink lol
