Is this case a back cover/battery cover replacement for a Galaxy s4 or does it slip over the existing case?

No it doesn't replace your back cover of your phone, it just slips right on your phone. It's a nice snug fit.

It is not a replacement. Although I just tried it without the normal back cover on and you can hardly tell it's missing.

It slips over the phone. I do not believe it is intended to be a replacement part of the battery cover. Hope that helps.

It attaches to phone instead of battery hatch. So, yes partially covers the back.

I have a slip - on cover so I don't feel adequate to answer about a flip cover. I can say this vendor sells another charging dock specifically for a S4 so I wouldn't expect a S4 to work in this dock.

You do get what is pictured, but I woudn't call it a "case". That implies an extra something that protects the phone. What you get is a backing to the phone that replaces the original backing already on your phone. This battery is bigger than the original, so the original back won't fit with the new battery installed. As mentioned, the new backing fits perfectly with the new battery.

I use the battery for my galaxy s2. I do not have to change the back cover. It is the same size.

Hi Beans,Our Galaxy S4 Neo Hybrid will fit over the official Samsung Wireless Charging Battery Cover. There might be a slight budge, however, it should not be noticeable. Our Galaxy Slim Armor will not fit over the official Samsung Wireless Charging Battery Cover. If you have any more questions, contact us at cs@spigen.com.Sincerely,SPIGEN SGP

The picture here does not appear to be the same case. Mine totally encloses my iPhone. The one in the picture is different. It looks like it just slips on the back.

No it's just a case. The back is hard and there's rubberized material on the sides so the case easily (but not too easily) slides off and on.

I attempted to find a back cover as well, but I couldn't find one. I really wanted to keep using my otterbox case so I ended up cutting a hole in my original back cover and the rubber portion of my case. By doing so I was able to fit the hard shell (of my otterbox case) back on and that holds the battery in place and I now have the protection of my original case.

It covers the plastic backing which came with the battery. So the battery snaps in, add the included back piece, then this cover goes over all.

I don't have the standard flip cover, just some after market cases that add too much bulk to use with the stand. I would think that the flip case that replaces the battery cover should be thin enough, but I couldn't give you an absolute yes. Sorry!

it fits a S4 snug but fits an s3 not as snug,but holds a charge for a long time

Battery fits my Galaxy S4 (Sprint just a little snugger than OEM battery). The battery must go in correctly (top first). It is no thicker and I didn't have any problem putting the cover back on.

No, the original back stays on. There is a, rubber like, colored sleeve that slips on the phone and then the hard case snaps over that.

No it is thicker. Any covers you had will not work with the thicker battery and back. I use a Hyperion Samsung Galaxy S4 Extended Battery HoneyComb Matte TPU Case.

It is a hard shell very similar to the original cover. You can still use the factory charger with it. I would definitely consider buying a protective case to cover your phone too (I got a nice case LAZA was the brand for $19.99). My S4 is US Cellular & it fit perfectly, I think an S4 is an S4 so you shouldn't have any problems.

I can only speak to the S4, but yes it does. It is a replacement for the back that comes with the phone, it doesn't go over it.
