Anyone know of anywhere that makes any alternative back plates in different colors besides the black and white? With its design, I'd think it would be an easy thing for a third party to manufacture. Otherwise I'm just gonna buy some white ones and make my own.

if you make the cases let me know and ill buy a blue one for you.
The only back plates I can find are white and balck ones on Amazon for 60 bucks. Holy moly.

they're expensive because of the antennas. i thought the battery cover was aluminum but its just brushed plastic.. hahah
Yeah I've noticed the antenna bit. I found some for 50 on htcrepairparts.com but I don't know if I want to spend that much plus paint and top coat on a custom back plate.

I've decided to find a different bumper as I don't really care for the one I have. So I'm looking for suggestions on bumpers that have the cut outs big enough around the mp3 jack and charging port so that the bumper doesn't have to be removed.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Got a link to the bumper you have, so folks don't recommend what you've already got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400281491137?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
That's the one I ordered. It's not nearly as red as it looks in the picture. It's more of a burgandy or maroon red kinda color. I guess I didn't think about this but the clear backing on it looks pretty bad as it starts to get scratches.
Geez. 215 views and none of ya has a bumper that you can fit your mp3 jack and charging attachments into?

I wouldn't really call that a bumper...it's a full case. There are some threads here already that discuss different bumpers, and I don't think most of them need to have their ports enlarged. I have the Anymode bumper on order (should be here today), so I can let you know how that one works. But it costs twice as much as the one you bought.
Thanks, Budge. Am definately interested in your thoughts. I'm not really worried about cost.

What did you not like about your current back cover, and what is it that you're look more for?
Oh there's really nothing wrong with the back cover. Seems to scratch easy but no biggee. What I don't like is it's not really close to being red....more of a burgandy. And I don't like that the cut outs are too small.

Where can I find a battery cover plate for the white galaxy note? Not a case just the plate that covers the battery.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)
I'm using the elago cover from Amazon...$10 but it doesn't offer much protection besides keeping crud off of the 8MP camera on the back. The white one is a little slippery since it's not coated, just FYI. Hasn't caused a drop yet though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Are you looking for an OEM cover to replace a white cover you had ?
Yes looking for either. Hopefully one with NFC if not can you provide links to the ones you know about. That would be great. Yes looking to replace my white one.

Also, the OE flip cover with the flap is a much better rear cover due to its thickness, texture and logo layout. What I did was just ter off the "leather" flip portion and am using just the battery cover.

Yes tried that would love to find a back cover like that without the leather. I cut it out too but back cover is to thick and doesn't work well with tpu cases. Love the look and texture of the flip cover case. Would be nice if they made Battery cover exactly like that.

When doing anything like this, take things apart! This is just a battery cover and they can be bought easy online. It's going to be hours a day before its usable anyway so do this to a spare.
If the solvents used don't agree with the plastic (I've spilt acetone when doing nails before) then you've ruined a spare cover
Good idea! That look so cool.
Make a pretty nice looking cover that....
I bought blue cover for my white Sk17i
it's look very pretty and I find the texture better than the white cover
May I ask where you can buy an official new black back cover? Mine is pretty beat up right now...
love the white backcover-adv no scratches and it looks new always
I found a new stock battery cover on ebay for about $17.
Mine in the first post is a genuine black one from ebay. Only £4.95.

i'am from malaysia where i can get back case??? for xperia mini pro
I just ordered this for our 2 brand new Notes.
It was cheap enough to take a chance. A few reviews exist for other Galaxy phones, with negative effects on NFC (not a prob for the Note) but otherwise not bad. I liked the brushed metal look, though I suspect the "metal" is not truly metal , probably a metallic sticker.

Black and copper (they call it brown). If I like them enough I may get a silver one also. For $7 shipped I don't mind a having a few. I kinda expect them to be a little cheesy
If you like the metals here is another aluminum option that a user here found.
I actually went on a case/cover buying spree last night, getting these and several other options for my fiancee as presents (gotta keep 'em happy!) since I talked her into a white Note yesterday. Should have 4 different styles on the way.

Are they actually metal or a metallic sticker? Fit well? Reception issues?
Could you post a pic of it on your note?
Those look great. I ordered two a Silver one for me and a Pink one for a friend.

Has anybody here found a real genuine leather battery cover to replace the fake one on the Note 3?
So far the only real leather I have found is on the flip cases.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4
Not that I have seen, it may be a tough one to make unless someone covers an existing battery door with leather itself.
I think a real leather battery cover would be awesome.
A nice tan or beige color would go great with white or black note. Kind of like the interior tan leather color with a white car
Sent from my C6602
IF such a thing does get made, I'd be on it
My only concern is how it will not dissipate heat well at all. Unless they make it from extremely thin leather and stretch it over the OEM battery door....

I wonder if zagg will come out with a leather skin for it. That might work. I have one on my ipad and it's really nice.
I bought the white note 3 in hopes that I might be able to possibly die the white pleather tan or brown. Any thoughts on this?
I'm not sure what material I could use that wouldn't come off on my hands.

It's not pleather, it's textured hard plastic. I'd bet you could spray paint it pretty easily.

If you really want to change the backs color try SEM automotive interior dye. Its a high quality plastic dye.
These aren't exactly real leather, but look like it. I don't think they feel like plastic either but not sure
