I just received my prime today, I have a feeling that the back is plastic the s/n starts with c3, is it plastic?
pretty sure it's aluminium
My C3 feels exactly the same as my BC0KAS and ironically has worse wifi reception so I highly doubt it.
If its cold to touch its aluminum.

Whoosh....
Any idea how to check if it is plastic or not except scratching it with a knife
Any one knows about C3 patch ?
It would be common knowledge at this point if they had switched to plastic.

To Chrono_Tata, trust me I have a Bachelor degree in Science and still cannot tell if it is Aluminum or plastic by knocking on the back of the Prime. After spending the whole day reading today, no body is saying about plastic back for the TF201 only for the 300 version which is not launched yet. So I have to say may be just may be it is Aluminum.
Mine prime with C3 feels cold on skin. Also it has scratches on it's back and from them I can notice it's aluminum. Also if you scratch it with nail you can also feel that it isn't plastic.

Fair warning: it took a lot of patience, a great deal of time, and a heat gun to get it looking like this. It was intense.

I like the look, but I am more interested in the texture.
While the Aluminum back makes for a sexy device, it is attrocious for holding. I would like the rubberized feel of either the silicone skin or the hard cover. Then I could ditch the extra mass from the hard cover.
How is the texture on this? Does it feel like plastic, rubber or paper?

Does it feel cold like the aluminum? I just can't seem to carry the flyer naked, it feels very weird in my hands and I guess I am paranoid about scratching up the aluminum.

Military style pants with pockets on the thighs or in a inside jacket/suit pocket. DO NOT PUT IN YOUR BACK POCKET! I had some unexplained reboots whilst in myback pocket.
I use an origial Flip Case. The white one, which is not so white on the inside anymore. It likes dirt.
Quick review of the flip case. It grows on you. At first i thought it was slightly difficult to use, but now after a month the spine is very soft so i just fold it under the back of the phone. This gives added traction as well. The only problem I have really is no big deal and that is that you need to learn to hold it in a different way when you take pictures.
One last thing. If anyone knows or has contact with a case designer I would like one that combines a bumper case with a flip case.

I have a Active Seidio case and holster. I got the gloss white case and its kinda slippery. Not sure if the black one is rubberized as it was for the thunderbolt. The edges are rubber so it's not too bad. However if the black one is rubberized I would go for that one. As far as carrying it the holster is awesome! I'm 6' 150lbs. I do carry it in my pocket when I'm wearing sweats and it's not bad at all. .. I wouldn't know anything about carrying it in skinny jeans as I don't own any.

In my pocket. I don't notice it any more than I noticed my GNex in there. Carried it around last night and today in both jeans and dress pants for work, no problem. I'm not a tall/big guy and I don't wear really baggy pants either. The only way I could see this being uncomfortable is if all you wear are skinny jeans.
I just obtained an Otterbox Commuter case and stopped using my Defender because the Commuter will fir in my iBolt car charger. My question is has anyone ever applied some type of grip spray to the hard plastic outter shell to give it a little grip? This thing is mad slippery compared to the defender and am worried ill drop my phone now. Thanks!

It's ok if it drops, it has a case
But seriously, I have the exact same case and it gets knocked off the table, couch, bed a couple times a week. I have a 4 year old who likes to play games on it and isn't always the most careful with it. The case does a good job of protecting it from 2-3 feet drops. I think the plastic spray would make it look like crap and not worth it. Just my opinion but good luck.

That and I had the defender case before but hated it because of the rubber outside. It made it a pain to put into and remove from my pocket. That's something else to think about. You don't want the coating catching/collecting things as well like your pocket, lint, dust, etc.

Not everyone uses or likes the holster. I hate them as they get in the way when in the car and always seem to catch on things as well. That and I hate the look of them. My left pocket is my dedicated phone pocket and nothing else goes in it

That is true but if the coating starts to scratch off or whatnot I will apply another coat. I'm going to buy the stuff and spray it on something else first and let it sit first to see if I'm going to like the feel. The silicone sleeve that comes with the Commuter is a HUGE dust/particle magnet as it is. I have to wipe it off on something a couple times a day, the rubber outer on the defender was no where near as bad as the silicone on the commuter.

Well to anyone who cares I applied 2 coats of black Plasti Dip to the hard plastic outer shell and its much better now! I can hold the phone with one hand and move it back and forth and it's not going anywhere! I don't think it will last too long but the bottle said its easy to remove and ill just spray a few more coats on it if I still like it I guess.

So I've been looking around for an aluminum protective case for my note 3 since it came home. As most of you have heard from others, the full aluminum cases despite the protection, suffer from drastic signal loss. I figured I couldn't go wrong with an aluminum bumper and bought two awesome looking bumpers off ebay. One is a gorgeous solid aluminum bumper with no hole for mic but really nicely made and a thin aluminum bumper with all openings. The biggest drawback of both of these bumpers is that there is no camera protection. As all of you have noticed the rear camera is raised a bit, which makes these bumpers a no go if your laying it down on rear. I saw a full protective case on Ebay that was composed of three pieces : aluminum frame, silicone style case and aluminum rear with a cutout. I went ahead and ordered for a measly $14 and some change, thinking it wouldn't be a big loss. My package arrived today from Hong Kong and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. It is the exact look and feel I wanted. For those who want a nice solid aluminum case with no signal loss I recommend you get one. I hardly write stuff on here but I felt compelled to share my experience.
Here's the link to ebay ad.

I'm pretty sure its for NFC as well. Plus it helps with reception as opposed to solid rear cases with affect reception. Personally I'd like to see someone step it up and make some premium CNC cut luxury cases lime they make for iphones with nicely made cut outs in rear. I reached out to three of those companies today , like MeeJoJo and 2 of them said only iphones and s4 's.
These are just some cnc cases for iphone 5s that I'd like to see for our phones.
I think that case is ugly and weird looking. I think it makes the phone look like a plain block of metal. Maybe it would look better if it was black anodized aluminum.

Had something similar for my previous Note 2. These metal cases tend to cause the phone signal to degrade. Hope you guys won't experience that problem.
