I'm looking for a skin or sticker to cover the ugly "Verizon" label on the home button of my Note II. It's the one thing I dislike about this phone.
If no one makes a custom skin made to cover this button, I'll get a sticker, cut out the right shape, and color it black with a Sharpie. Hoping for a more elegant solution though. Anyone know of one?
I ended up ordering these and will post back about the quality when I receive them: http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Al...1&keywords=Home+Button+Sticker+galaxy+note+ii
I think the silver will look good on my graphite Note II

Not sure why anyone would pay $10 for this on Amazon when we have someone within our own community making these for cheap... real cheap! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35501200

There are several threads about this already. Here's the most useful one:
How do we remove the dreading VZW logo off the home button?

Thanks, I'm glad I ordered those. More expensive than other options but I like the way they look.

I'm planning to switch to Mega 6.3. Will I notice drastic change in the performance? Thank you.

Actual usage is better in the Mega since is has the newer version of touchwiz and android plus its CPU and GPU has newer architecture than the Note 2. Here's a video comparison of the Note 2 and the mega 6.3, notice the lags on the Note 2 around 6:00 onwards.
I sold my Note II and got the Mega and have no regrets. This phone is more modern, fast and fluid throughout the whole UI :good: It performs like a champ and the screen is surprisingly good for a 720p, crisp and clear with great contrast and outdoor visability

Thanks guys! I'm going to get one this weekend! I'm excited! What is the best case for the Galaxy Mega? The one that won't scratch our phone's housing.

I would suggest you think again. I have a Note I as well as the Mega 5.8 DUOS. Note I and Note II (and indeed any Samsung Galaxy 'Note') have the S-Pen which, for some (like me) is a key productivity tool. I create and sign documents and do all sorts of great things on my Note I but cannot do same on the Mega.

I'm using an S line gel case which is quite cheap but very efficient. There's a case thread in the accessories section of the forum for more choices.

There is a good selection of cases on eBay and Amazon. By the way, if you think for a moment why we need a case for these devices, it is to protect them from damage. The most serious damage is not the scratches on the back, but a broken screen. I personally do not think a case that does not protect the screen is effective, so I never go for those gel cases.

I've had many devices with huge screens and I have never broken a screen. I just use a screen protector and a slim gel case. Also, I personally don't like the extra bulk and the price of the 'high end' cases. Lots of people use them and they still break their screens, I am more into scratch protection as I want my phone in pristine condition when I sell it on next year.

I rarely use the S-Pen on my Note 2 before so it won't be a huge deal breaker.
What color is the best? Is the white plastic ok? Like will it turn yellow or stain?

I have never seen a Samsung phone stain due to their hyper glaze tech so it's not something to worry about.
I personally prefer black because the screen blends with the little bezel in front of the phone.
As well as hands-on impressions? I'm very much in the market for a case, and looking at the Spigen ones. Torn between the Neo-Hybrid, Slim Armor, and Ultra Fit.
Since the phone just came out, I think it would be helpful for the early adopters to post some images for the rest of us. So we can make an informed decision! :laugh:
buy all 3!
Just placed an order for the Neo Hybrid Slate Metal. Reviews for the neo hybrid all seem positive based off S4 reviews of the case.

I had the neo hybrid and slim armor cases for my S4. They look really nice but I ended up not using them as I couldn't trust them with drops. But they do look awesome, especially the neo hybrid.

FOUND Perfect Belt Holder for NOTE3!
After checking out all the stores.... I could not find a vertical Belt Holder for the NOTE3...until, I found a professional seamstress. She made this modification from a store bought holder! PERFECT Fit with just about a 1/4" sticking out so I can quick grab it for calls! Let me know if you might be interested in one! I can send your her store name...Michael ($48.00 case & Shipping)

Thanks for the comment!!!! Saw that, but I just like the LOOP. That way it can't "slip" off. By the way, about the Pick-pocket...It fits pretty snugly into the case, but with thumb & 1 finger I can grab it out for a call... THANKS!!
Spigen TPU Case
Here is my Spigen TPU Black case from Amazon.
$10.99 plus tax.
i have the Spigen Neo-Hybrid case (RED) on its way now, I'll have pictures when it arrives today or tomorrow.
Has anyone seen/tried these yet? Personally I'd prefer a black back as the blue Antenna doesn't really match the black/dark blue device.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...Domain_0&var=430687818320&hash=item1e95c88563
EDIT: Well for $10 I decided to try it. It will be here by the 24th.
is there a how to remove the back panel yet ? a quick search didnt give me any results

Check or search nexus 6 tear down or so. Lazy to link things tonight
ifixit did it in their tear down.
Ahhh teardown search was key.. Thanks guys
So I'd say it's safe to assume that eventually there's going to be a black model?
This looks interesting! I'd love to see how it comes out!
I hope it has the adhesive already on it. I can only imagine the huge PITA its going to be if it doesn't. For those who ordered one can you post a guide/pictures when you install it? I'm curious about this and if it works I know a lot of people will want the white one.
I'm curious if it's actually just the blue one labeled black.

If it is indeed black then it's not an OEM part. I wonder how the quality would be in that case.
I fully expect to get a blue one, but for $10 shipped its worth trying.
I ordered a black one when they first popped up on ebay. I'll update with pics and info when it gets here. I just plan on using it as a template to see about making alternate material backs so if it's black or actually blue and listed wrong it doesn't matter to me.
Looks like they raised the price. I'll wait to see results. My back has a few weird scuff/wear marks and I'd pay $10 to get a new one to have on hand. They seems like they'd be very easy to replace.
I think it would be awesome if it turned out to be black soft touch even though that isn't original. If the quality was good anyway...
Edit - I see the black is $10 and the white is $15.
With sprint only offering the midnight blue version, I wanted the white version. I would be interested to see how a midnight blue with one of these white backs look.
I bought a black back for 10$.
I'll give it a try.
This + a crashguard bumper + a screen protector
It's all it takes to cover the entire phone
Mine shipped so it should be here in 2 weeks or so. Shipping from China is always slow.
Im interested to see how this turns out.
I'll be getting a few of these. Maybe they're knockoffs, but if they fit the device, they could be used as custom backplates. I'm thinking of using spray paint or something, to create a nice, unique backplate.

I would be interested in making a digital camo backplate. Sounds like a cool project. Maybe even hydro dip it.

I purchased mine here on the 1st of December: ebay.com/itm/251723199982
Expected arrival is the 6th-15th of December.
Will update with pictures and quality once it arrives.
This is a very beautifull case. I think is over price at $20 but been a official samsung case and lower than last year cover case ($35) i think is worth it if u really want a miniman look no case like cover and keep ur device beautifull look.
I had the case for 2 days. Very happy with it and no scratches yet. The color is a very orchard grey like which maches perfect with all the phone colors avail. Snap easily and very tight fit. All cut outs are in perfect position. Not much grip since is plastic.
EDIT: HERE IS A REVIEW I FOUND. VERY BEAUTIFULL MINIMALISTIC CASE

Is there an overhanging lip on the top and bottom that prevents the screen from touching if laid face-down?

Looks blue is only available for prime. What color did you get? Is silver actually clear? I have a black S8 not sure if the colors of the covers are that much different. I got a 30% off accessories from Samsung so I might use that but stupid me didn't pre-order so I might get that and a VR or just wait on the VR.

Well it better be going strong you probably just got it. hehe You probably could put maybe some clear tape or screen protector to prevent scratches. The Samsung clear covers are the only ones I buy. At times buy a cheap more bulky case to use when I'm golfing and drinking. I wonder if any stores have the cases in stock. I didn't see any at T-Mobile.

I can't make up my mind between the orchid gray or silver. I didn't care for the orchid gray kind of makes the back look purple or maybe just the lighting in the picture. I've always got the silver and it makes the phone pop a tad more. imo Just a personal preference thing.
Is this a hard case?
Looks like the original Samsung clear cover.

Try going to a corporate store. Thats were most tmonile have it. But i bet alot of them are sold out. I was the first one in on launch day and they offer me like 5 cases. Screen protectors, usb type c, charger, battery backup, s3 watch etc. I must have said no like 20 times.
I could imagine pushing accesories to buyers they would run out of inventory pretty quick.
