Accessories Stickier backshell

Yeah, I agree, it is slick and I hate a bulky case.
Not sure about a replacement back piece, and I know you said you don't like a full case, but something worth considering is this cover if you don't find what you are looking for. Minimal, does not add hardly any bulk, easier to grip the phone:)
(I'm using it in conjunction with a belt clip)

Just got my G3, like it so far. However, the back cover is so smooth and slick, easy to drop.
Are there any replacement back pieces that are a bit tackier than stock?
I'd rather not go full case, don't really care for them.
Thanks in advance.

Good question! ;)
I remember the G2 had the same problem (about the only knock I had on that phone).
Have you thought about sand-blasting?
Can't say I've ever sand-blasted plastic before,but,I'd say it's worth a shot.
Worse-case scenario,a replacement battery cover can be found quite easily on AMAZON on e-Bay.

Almost forgot:
Body skins add a grippier feel to the back of a phone,I use them on metal/HTC devices,but,they make 'em for just about any phone:

Hmmm, interesting!
Made me think about Plasti-Dipping it! If you don't like it, peel it off!!
