Does this case go over the factory back cover or replace it?

Hi Ashley, The case goes over the factory back plate and does not replace it. Hope that helped! Thank you! Sincerely, Verus Customer Support

it goes right over your battery. it makes it slightlight bulkier so the back of the phone won't be completely flat. hope this helps!

It fits, you will need a front bezel though. Which is literally a snap to replace.

If you mean can you use the extended battery with the factory back, no way. You must use the cover or one similar. It doubles the thickness of the phone. Hope this helps

Yes it does. However, I have seen a version of the factory one that has a lip that goes over the edge of the bumper. This one sits on top and nothing goes over the edge.

Yes. It replaces the back cover with a cover that covers both front and back. Works quite well. It was very easy to change out.

It's just a case. But if you have the Hyperion battery, they sell extra back covers 2 for like $10. They sent me a replacement free when I got mine cracked in the mail, they're really a great company.

Yes, it replaces the original back cover of the phone. Remove the original back cover and save for a later use. Snap phone into case. It's nice and snug.

It replaces the original cover. I've had it for several weeks now and it seems to be holding up well - no issues whatsoever. It's a very nice case and I'll buy another one if something goes wrong with this one.

It will work. It makes the back cover fit very tight, but it will work. Don't take the back off much after you install this. Some of the plastic clips can break off after opening the case often. I love it!

Some replwcement covers have a thin platsic/rubber piece (the membrane) that covers the volume buttons or power button in order to keep dirt out. This replacement cover does not have a membrane that covers any buttons, which is the way the original phone back cover is. This is a replica of the original back cover and is well worth the money.

The back case latches over the top of the front cover's magnetic bracket. Be sure to attach the magnetic part first then attach the back cover. This holds it securely on mine.

Yes. All smart covers replace the back cover, but they virtually the same than the original plus the front one

It's just a case. However if the cracked back cover is not completely falling apart just buy this and put it on over the cracked cover and it should solve your problem.

No the original back fits and the plastic cover goes over both, making ot a little thicker. I find this battery lasts longer than the stock battery that came with the S3.

Goes over it. It is a very good fit. Also I would recommend that if you also installing a screen protector, just cut-off a very small vertical sections on the two sides of the screen protector. Otherwise the hard-back case causes the screen protector to warp around the edges where it grips the phone tightly.

No. The battery is thicker than the normal battery. So you will not be able to fit the original back cover.
