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.

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.

Its aight, I think I like it better than my EVO 3d, we just need some ASOP then it'll be perfect. It is a sexy phone I'll give it that.
ive got another pro for you well its a pro fro me...
i was wondering why the corners are at the 45 degree cuts, then i held an evo again today and i thought to myself "why in the heck is the phones corner jabbin into my palm?!"
when you hold a photon, the slanted corners allow more surface contact to the palm of your hand, so its more comfortable and easier to hold. it all adds up now in my mind lol
If you want real joy to hold get the Otterbox defender. Although a little bit of a lint magnet, the soft gel exterior is supremely comfortable as well as super protective.

I don't have the creak at all, I find that the back plate is very, very firm and much quieter than the Evo I used to have as well as the 3d. I do however have the Otterbox Commuter case and it is simply amazing! The defender is way to bulky and really is only needed for construction workers and the like. But if you so desire big and bulky, it is perfect for you ;-) . The commuter with an Invisibleshield is perfect for me.

Update just in case you want to ask for this. Just got off the phone with a Motorola rep and told her about the creaky battery door issue and asked her if they could send me a replacement door because I didn't want to exchange my whole phone for that and she said no problem. She said since im still in my first year of warranty there would be no charge and no questions asked per se. She recorded my serial number and verified my address and said fed ex should have it to me in a few days. One more thing I could understand every word she said no outsourced phone center here. Great customer service!

Wasn't the same as my last Motorola experience, I had to jump ship from t-mobile because moto briqed my cliq, moto blamed t-mobile and t-mobile blamed moto insurance wouldn't replace,,and I was left without a phone. I hope this time around I wont have to deal.with that again. Im sure Sprint will take care of me.
Maybe since Google bought them out customer service will hopefully improve maybe? Just a thought.

A picture with the phone actually ON and WORKING would help
I'd stay away from it, seems shady. The seller possibly could of found it on the floor sans battery, and attempted to sand down rough knicks from it being dropped.
Also there's ribbons for the antenna and other things that go right where it's sanded down and you don't know if that's going to affect the signal or not.

If it's stolen, and was replaced through att insurance, I believe att places a permanent imei block on the phone. If that is the case, the phone will only function unlocked on TMo, sans 3 and "4" G data.
That price definately falls in the too-good-to-be-true category. If they don't want the phone, its been out less than 30 days, why don't they return it. Very fishy.

I like that they have different colors. The brown would look sexy on the white note, but on a black one may look odd. Note sure though. I noticed they had a burgandy or maroon one, nice to have some options.
Very nice. But that's really pricey.
It reminds me of the Samsung flip cases. I wonder if it supports the NFC antenna as it looks like it replaces the back battery cover.

I don't think it replaces the back cover. They make another version without the flip cover that is a 2-part, front and back snap together case. This one looks just like it. So the back of the case fits over the Note's back cover, then you attach the front bezel.

That's on the optimistic side of typical for HK purchase. I bought some batteries mid month and saw 28th as expected delivery and thought it was great, then when the 29th came I was wondering where my stuff was and looked it up and it actually had said the end of the following month. I was ticked, mostly as myself. Batteries showed up a week or two later though ahead of schedule.
Just bought mine from amazon for $39.99
When you get one of these Tryit cases in, will you please let us know if the bezel covers the edge of the display? From the pictures, it looks like it doesn't (which would allow me to put a Glas.t on it). Thanks.
Once I get it, I'll post pics.

I couldn't find them anywhere. I was searching for the last 2 days. I ended up trying out the Defender since I couldn't find it. I must say, I'm liking it so far. Not as big as I thought it would be. You just may have to order from Otter if you want it. It seems that no one plans on getting them anytime soon. Good luck

I had one on my Blue S3 but I can't find one on my White Note 2. It's kind of hard to spot.
Can't find any on mine. I've kept it in a Seidio ACTIVE case pretty much the whole time I had it. However. It has seen about 3 drops from 1-2 feet up. 2 of the drops were in the case, the last one was naked. Took a nasty fall while testing out my navigation mount suction cupped to my hardwood desk.
Note to all - the Samsung mount does not suction cup to hardwood desks.
Lmao, I would have never tried it on wood. Can you guys post a picture of the crack? I want to see what I should look for!
I don't have any cracks but my friends gs3 was kept in a case since day one and he got some. I'm thinking about getting a new back anyways with out all the Verizon garbage on it

Sent from fast Note2 via Premium XDA app.
No cracks on mine and I take my cover off on a daily basis to replace my battery; I never recharge my phone but swap batteries. It could be much, much worst because the door is the cheapest part to replace. Some of those carbon fiber and leather backs look much better than the Verizon branded stock ones. Funny part is that I have a spare NFC chip from the free flip cover Samsung sent me a few weeks ago.
It would be a different story if I heard or experienced a crack in the housing. Then I would be pissed.
