So after 7 months with my white Note, I have grown tired of it.
The color that is. White. I thought I'd love it, but I guess after I got white glass for my 3GS and changed that I hit the level where staring at this white piece of crap is driving me CRAZY! Okay its not that serious, but the color is bugging me. I plan on switching the side-frame-bezel-thing, rear frame, and battery door with ones from the "Pebble Blue" one but one problem remains. The screen.
Does anyone know of an easy way (or a cheap way) to change the color? New LCD assemblies are $200 and that's too much. I don't want a half black half white phone so its all the way or no way.
Thanks!

PS; if there is anywhere that sells cheap different colored glass and backs (like red, blue, silver, brown, orange, etc.) Please let me know. That would be amazing
She if someone wants to trade for a black one.

Why don't you just find someone to trade?
The back and sides of mine aren't in good condition and I flashed a custom ROM on the phone so I doubt anyone would trade.
Although, I wouldn't mind trading mine for an international one. That would be awesome just for the button. That's even less likely though

Well .
Based on the cost of parts ..you would be better off finding the cobalt blue version of the device .IMHO
With the note 2 around the corner, you may find a good deal on a different device ?
Sorry I don't have a cheaper method for you ....g
Just use a sharpie
jk
aren't there cases that cover the front part too?

I don't have the cash for such an investment.
I may just order a GooPhone i5 to change things up for a bit. Cheaper than buying new glass plus larts or a new phone

That's not bad I've been tempted to do something with mine, like buy a new white back to sand and paint after I saw someone with a tiny black triforce on the corner of theirs.
That looks cool. If the black parts were non-slip............

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.
eBay - Luxury Hard Aluminum Metal Case
I'll post a review when I get them.
Looks nice. Wouldn't mind seeing a follow up when u receive it, curious if this effects your reception or not as well

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.

this looks nice but the back looks raised up and not as smooth flowing as ours.
Will this fit on the i717? Some people have reported that the n7000 case wont fit on the i717.

Im just hating how easily it marks I'm super ocd about my phone for the first say month there is a scuff on the top and the charger port already has scratches. I was looking at my friends black note and his this looks new (Its not obviously) I feel like this thing shows any blemish so easily

I considered replacing the band with the one from the titanium grey version.. It should be pretty easy as its part of the back plate.. Plus looks as though the back plate fires for only $20

yeah check out the teardown of the n7100 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD6zGVbqNMA
Notice the rear housing is the first thing you pull off and it includes the sides of the phone.
Here is the titanium rear housing for the n7100 (should work just fine with the VZW) http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-rear-housing.html
I have the titanium gray version and it also has the silver band. Is there any other option out there for say a black band?

If and when the black version is released, OEM parts will slowly start to show up. As of now only titanium and white OEM parts are available. Perhaps you can find a non OEM in different colors, but I would stick with OEM

Lol, that's certainly the easiest way to get rid of the silver band.
I have a rock quicksand case that is super minimal also and gives you an awesome grip on the phone.
That backplate also includes the holes for wireless charging. That's a win in my book. Purchasing one of these.

Cool cases but I prefer all around cases than snap ones.... They tend to pop off when you drop your phone.

Trust me I'm very very careful with my phones (except when I'm going on a rampage). But with snap cases I just feel vulnerable for some reason I rather have thick otterboxes or a light tpu case.

Not much of a difference.
I bought the grey chassis back from ebay ($15) and installed on my Verizon White phone. The case is a GSM and isn't compatible so I have to cut/melt some of it. All in all, it ruined my 4g since the antenna placements seem to be different.
The after effect of the smoked chrome - you could hardly tell a difference and really doesn't grant the extra frustration/work. I have a case on my phone now and doesn't show at all.

I don't know if I want to keep my white or go with the Grey. opinions are welcome. Which one looks better, white or Grey? Thanks for the help.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's all preference.
I liked the grey better, but that was because of the home button. The white didn't match in my eyes.
If you're looking to switch, may want to hold off because word is, a black version is coming out soon.
What he said ^^.. My daughter has the white one and I have the grey one. I personally like the grey better but she likes the white better. All preference.

It's a known fact that the grey one is faster, gets better reception and will not break if you drop it!!
Ok, none of that is true, but it is true that the grey one looks better!!
Ok, that isn't true either (for a lot of folks)!
But if you are asking for opinions, then mine is. . . GREY!!
I suggest you go to a store and hold both phones. Then pick the one you like best and buy it.
Good luck.
The grey looks less cheap, will hide dirt better, and the gd button doesn't stand out as much.
The white flip cover gets dirty on the inside of the cover quite quickly. The white however may lend itself better to the new coloured flip covers that are available. I don't know if grey and pastel-orange or blue will look so good.
I went with Grey. I had the white galaxy s3 and if you have a screen protector on the phone it starts looking dirty after awhile due to finger oil/dirt that happens to rub off.
Can't go wrong with either though.

I came to say similar things about the white one, lol.
I got a tpu hybrid case & it has black and clear parts to it, so it really looks nice over the white GNote, even if it wasn't I love the look of white on this, it really makes it pop
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I prefer grey. Looks better. But my sgs3 was white. Lol
I got the grey simply because it almost blends the VZW logo in with the phone; you don't see it as much. Also, there are going to be a lot more cases that will be black as opposed to white, and unless you like serious contrasting colors, most cases will match the dark grey of the Note as opposed to the white color. Hope this helps.
I got the white one. And I tell everyone I meet that I'm on a verizon plan.

I prefer the gray version. My S III was white (and it was my first white phone) and while it's a nice look, I just feel that the gray looks better on the Note II.
I don't know if any of you have seen this case but I just ordered one in red & black for my "upcoming" DNA... Of course they are from China but I can wait! What do you guys think? Would you rock one of these cases?

Yes, this case has been discussed before. I have a red for my wife and the gray for myself. I got it when it first came out and were $16 each.

Sorry... I didn't see it but I am new to the DNA so I guess I should have looked harder! Do you like them?
I have the black version of this case, only thing I don't like is it being too tight.:what: and volume keys are a pain to press. But it smells like real leather... And looks beautiful. Much better than the Samsung flip covers. As an extra comes with a nice screen protector as well.
If your on the fence on getting it.... Don't wait any longer and buy it, you will like it!!!
