I bought a white note...a day later I went to Att and bought a specks case per the sales Rep. They only had this and a flip case. Ok so I bought it because I'm moving to another state for work and wanted a case for the move. I bought the case on sat afternoon Sunday evening I was going to put my 32 g card in and I notice my phone is stained black. Wtf. The case bled into my back cover. I'm soo pissed. Plus the case is all scratched up and it hasnt been 24hrs yet. Now I'm trapped in a small town with no Att center around until i get to my new home. Don't buy this over price case....
Oh sorry this is the wrong section to post. Mod please move and except my apology.

It just bothers me cause this is the reason for the case to protect the new 450 dollar phone and it just did more damage then good.

Maybe they'll let you swap the back with a returned/defective white Note that they might have in the back in which they haven't sent back to the service center yet. Assuming they have any, of course.

btw just a tip, a alcohol prep helped get the paint transfer off on my white note, but i had ghost armor over mine. i would imagine it would work just as well on a row back
That's pretty bad after only one day. A lot of cases give me the same feeling. Some of the slim fit cases have a lot of dyes and are hard, rough plastic inside. You need a case from your case now.
Thanks guys for letting me vent. I honestly know its not then end of the world and there's an easy fix its just we pay so much money to these companies and then great people like the xda members makes them better and find work around to make them even better. Why aren't these companies doing that? We should get what we pay for. Ok I'm done venting ill just return it and get a new back.

By the way, I hope you saved the receipt for the case as I would demand my money back as well.
Yep I keep all recites in their original package. I'm upset about that also after only one day that things scratched up. I see many members have the same problem.

They tried to sell me one of those when I got my note. I told them I would get a case later.
I have the same case.... I've had it for the past three months.... It has protected my phone past my expectations.... I removed my case and my phone has no scratches whatsoever.... I would rather scratch up my case than my 500 phone.... And believe me, case doesn't look pretty....

I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

They should. It's a manufacturing defect.

There will exchange it but not for another color.

Same here.
on the 27th.
I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

I actually like the blue...it's much better looking in real life than the pictures made out to look...its kinda got a gunmetal look to it that I am digging...but definitely a finger print magnet for the back cover though.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.

initially wanted the white as well.....from the front it looks like the pebble blue phone is almost black which i like, this phone is so awesome i dont care what color it is!!! lol
I don't know if I want to keep my white or go with the Grey. opinions are welcome. Which one looks better, white or Grey? Thanks for the help.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's all preference.
I liked the grey better, but that was because of the home button. The white didn't match in my eyes.
If you're looking to switch, may want to hold off because word is, a black version is coming out soon.
What he said ^^.. My daughter has the white one and I have the grey one. I personally like the grey better but she likes the white better. All preference.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's a known fact that the grey one is faster, gets better reception and will not break if you drop it!!
Ok, none of that is true, but it is true that the grey one looks better!!
Ok, that isn't true either (for a lot of folks)!
But if you are asking for opinions, then mine is. . . GREY!!
I suggest you go to a store and hold both phones. Then pick the one you like best and buy it.
Good luck.
The grey looks less cheap, will hide dirt better, and the gd button doesn't stand out as much.
The white flip cover gets dirty on the inside of the cover quite quickly. The white however may lend itself better to the new coloured flip covers that are available. I don't know if grey and pastel-orange or blue will look so good.
I went with Grey. I had the white galaxy s3 and if you have a screen protector on the phone it starts looking dirty after awhile due to finger oil/dirt that happens to rub off.
Can't go wrong with either though.

I came to say similar things about the white one, lol.
I got a tpu hybrid case & it has black and clear parts to it, so it really looks nice over the white GNote, even if it wasn't I love the look of white on this, it really makes it pop
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I prefer grey. Looks better. But my sgs3 was white. Lol
I got the grey simply because it almost blends the VZW logo in with the phone; you don't see it as much. Also, there are going to be a lot more cases that will be black as opposed to white, and unless you like serious contrasting colors, most cases will match the dark grey of the Note as opposed to the white color. Hope this helps.
I got the white one. And I tell everyone I meet that I'm on a verizon plan.

I prefer the gray version. My S III was white (and it was my first white phone) and while it's a nice look, I just feel that the gray looks better on the Note II.
I currently have the diztronic frosted/white tpu case on my white EVO. I loved it before it got really dirty looking. Anyone have good case recommendations for a white EVO. Pics if you have them. I would like to stay with a white grey or clear case if anyone knows one that doesn't get too dirty.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I know what ya mean. I have that same case and it begins to look a little yellow over time. I also have 3 of the Cruzerlite Androidified cases in grey, smoked, and clear. The clear one is begging to get the same yellowish appearance as the Diztronic matte clear is. I have a white generic brand hard case that looks good. It doesn't have a cutout for the kickstand like the Featherlite case does, but other than that they're almost identical. Biggest difference is mine only cost $6 shipped!! I've posted pics on another thread, but here they are again. I'll post them from my black Evo LTE (because they were taken with it) in just a minute.

There ya go. I'm super happy with it. Doesn't offer a whole lot of protection of course, but does against daily use. The sides come up high enough so that the display doesn't touch of you lay it face down, nice feature I think. Been super reliable so far and no color changing! I do swap between cases regularly, so I haven't used it a whole lot. It has been used as much as my Cruzerlite and Diztronic cases though, so it won't discolor as soon, is at all. It's also much easier to clean up. It has a nice soft touch feel to it also

That's gorgeous bro!! I LOVE it!!!
My first car was a 66 Mustang with a 289. I had it restored and just kept adding more and more to it over the next 2 years. Almost every dollar I made went on to that car. New paint, emblems, interior, suspension, wheels/tires, transmission rebuilt, motor rebuilt, etc. I was specifically looking for an old muscle car when I found it. I loved that car! Then I sold it and made a large down payment on my 98 GT. I was 18 at the time, and though I still love my 98 GT, I kick myself on the butt for selling the 66. I swore I'd never sell another car after that, lol. Still have my 98 too! I feel in love with the new body style of 05 the moment I saw them! A lot of that was due to their retro styling. I gave it a year to see how the new motor was, then ordered my 06 near the end of 05. Didn't part with my 98, so I just added a second Pony to the stable. Not really crazy about the 10 and up body, though they did make some nice improvements for the 12's and up. I can't decide if I want to get another mid 60's Mustang or a 90-93 notch/coupe Mustang (I'm not crazy about the hatchbacks) for my next Mustang.
My Dad bought a 98 Cobra about 1 month after I got my GT. It always sat in the garage under a car cover. Bone stock except for a K&N air filter, and only 23k miles on it!! He was going to let me buy it for whatever I sold my 98 for. I would occasionally drive it just to keep everything lubricated and to keep flat spots off the tires. I always did the oil changes to it too for the last few years, as I'm an automobile technician. I was driving it the day of my wreck! Totaled it! Sucks! I hate it so bad! I did by it back from the insurance company though to swap the motor and transmission in to my 98 GT. Thought about buying a Fox body notch too and putting the Cobra drivetrain in to it. Probably just gonna swap it in to my 98 GT though. Well enough of me talking cars on a phone forum! I just get carried away talking Mustangs once I start! Lol.
Congrats on your ride though, it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Hey if you want to tell Verizon screw off, and get the same battery door as the rest of the world, then buy one from ebay. I contacted this seller and they say it has the Samsung logo and all. So I ordered one for my white Note 3, I'll post it when I get it. But here is the link if you want one. They are worth the price in my opinion, the Verizon battery cover looks horrible.

So I have to say I checked out a black one yesterday and my new back feels very similar if not exactly the same as the black one. Maybe they changed the material for printing on the White one when the carriers branded the phones, but it's also not as shiny as the old back. Looks and feels better, win win.

Yeah that's what everyone says but I just compared this new one with a Verizon black one and it feels exactly the same. This new one with Samsung branding is a different build then the White Verizon one. Even the stamped code on the back is different by one number. When you hold it with no phone on it, you can feel it's a fraction thicker. I'm really happy with this back
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Nice cover! If I ever run my phone naked, I'd scoop one of these up. But since I have a case on my phone, you'll never see the back cover so it'd be a waste of $20. Good find though.
