So I'm not sure if this has already been asked but do all cases fit all the variants of the S3? I'm not sure if that made sense...but yeah.

It's the exact same body, so yes, any case you buy, whether it's for the International version or the American or Korean version, it will fit.

What about screen protectors? The ones I got don't really stick around the edges because it kind of curves.
Anyone find any good ones?

Dry/static cling protectors don't work on the curve, only wet application protectors can follow the curve, and therefore cover the whole screen.

Not sure if you were interested in bumpers or not but these are pretty slick. Expensive but great quality. No issues with reception for me though a couple people have posted in the international Note thread about small hits.
As far as I can tell should work with I717.

No, the fact the antennae was on the bottom of the phone where you normally held it was why they switched the design. And plastic was just cheaper and more durable than the soft metal they were originally using. The metal did not affect reception. I used to own it

I don't blame you. Some thoughts that came to mind were trying the old sugar cube trick (from old WinMo days). Believe the sugar cube is equivalent to a 1500 grit sandpaper?? Or get a pen tipped 1500 grit sanding tool???
However, since the white or dark shell of our Notes are plastic...sanding may not be the best option. Maybe trying something like Goo-Be-Gone on a VERY VERY SMALL part of the logo (maybe apply with cotton swab or tooth pick) to make sure it comes off and doesn't discolor the plastic?
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read carefully that you wanted to hide the logo by a case or screen protector...
This aluminum case would do it too.

I don't have one, so can't comment on fit and finish but from the pictures it looks like it would hide the logo.

Just my two cents: I picked up two of these to under 10$ (hunt around, they're listed under dozens of different names) and I'm pleasantly surprised with the quality. They're certainly no Otterbox but at that price I expected much less.

Thanks for the reply, but neither of those sites offer what I was asking.
I'm not looking for a case of wallet. Or something that goes around the phone.
I'm looking for a replacement for back cover only. I don't need protection, just something to make a great looking phone even better looking.

I want one too. I find the fake leather still not tacky enough to the touch. Better than the old slick but not enough for me.
would love this too
I would be very intressted in one of theese
Me too, definitely interested in this!
Would love one of these!
i felt the black note3 in store demo was much closer to leather feel. but the white note3 felt like 100% plastic. i still got the white one because of the color and my case will cover the back.

I'm confused. You want someone who works with an organic material like leather to make a tightly machined set of tiny clips on something that's normally at least 2mm thick and crumbles when dried?
Or do you want someone to glue a piece of split (like sliced thin) leather to a plastic back? Samsung painted on what they could while keeping the back as thin as is structurally sound.
Yes, real leather would be nice, but real leather won't do that, not unless you add some heft to the existing structure of the (or any) plastic back.
Its really nice one... I like it

That depends on the source and the method used.
What is a case you purchase that is not listed here in the Note 3 forum, but you just have to show it off? (Price, links, pictures)
I am in the market for a new case and would like to see what other are using. I have used Spigen, UAG, Body Glove, Speck, Case-Mate, BoxWave, and others.
I generally don't like folio type cases but if you just have to let me know how great a specific case is working out let me know.
TIA
^^ Dude... I think it should be you who should be showing us some cases.
Are you looking for something specific, that all those don't do or have?

Hello, I recent brought his bumper on eBay, and I got to say, I love it very much, it adds no bulk to the phone and feels like its part of the phone instead of it as a case.
It's really slim and it protects the bezel. It lifts high enough to be able to put it face down, but the camera will touch if you put it down normally.
Also, keep in mind that the bumper uses a screw.
I had it for about a week, and have not notice any notable signal lost, but that's just me.
I got the case for 7.99, but it might be different depending on the eBay seller.
Here are the pictures of the black one, but if you guys like, I can also upload pictures of the red and silver one.
Sorry for the horrible quality, they were taken with my Nexus 7.
Could you post the silver and link where they were purchased. Thank you.

I had this case cuz I bought it from a local store. I gave up on it after two days because it is so easy to pry apart when screwed on. It makes my OCD scream because it doesn't feel like it's on there, and dust can easily get into the pried crevice.
