Recommendation for battery cover that is not too "smooth" - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

The original Galaxy Note battery cover is too "smooth" and I am afraid that one day it will SLIP out of my hand and break the phone. Does anyone have any recommendation for a replacement battery cover?
I searched eBay, Amazon, etc. but haven't seen anything. I see a LOT for Galaxy Note 2, though.

Let a little kid play with it for a little bit. I promise it will have a nice tacky feel afterwards. lol. And it costs you nothing and the kids gets entertained. It's a win/win.

That I can do myself, no need a kid.
I had one for my International Note, but it won't fit AT&T Note.

are you serious???
i can personally state that gel cases are durable, non bulky, and provide the best grip IMO. I get a gel case for every phone i own. I havent seen any custom doors outside of the extended battery covers. I suggest a gel case.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't want a case since it won't fit the OEM Note Car Dock.
What I am looking for is a battery cover replacement that's not too smooth like the original one. I had one for the International Note and it was great, but it won't fit the AT&T Note.

I have one like the original one, kinda etched feeling like. Of You want ill dig it up and send it to you.

This is also the seido (sp) case just rebranded. It looks sharp but the kickstand is actually pretty crappy. It feels solid at first but few months of use, it gets too worn out to support any weight. I'm kind of disappointed. Loved it at first though.

I have been rocking the Seidio hev3d
I have had the Seidio hev3d for about 8 months and it is a great case. Cheap sturdy case and is easy to put on and take off if battery pull is necessary.

I also have that case and been having it for about a year but i droped it once and case craked. It did serve it perpise of not damege my phone but 3 months later itcracked from the power side so now the case its a bit loose on top i am still thinking of bying this case again but i would like it cheper than 30.00 dollars witch i paid at amazon.
Seidio hev3d was what I went with in the end after a long look. Others look tacky and cheap. This isn't the thinnest but definitely the best.
If I do drop my phone, something I have never done and we are going back 12 years or so ! I know that this should keep it in one piece.

Can anyone see why this would not fit the AT & T version?

It will work with i717, since all notes have the same dimensions. But, there are a number of other wallet cases that are better. There are few reviews here in this forum.

Wallet Flip Case

I was looking for a wallet flip case similar to this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Leather-Wallet-Case-Cover-Card-Holder-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-T999-i747-/290738025419?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D1821906407524500591%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26
I have one of these for my GS3 and love it. These are easy to find for the GS3 but not easy to find for the EVO 4G LTE. Anyone seen one similar? I have seen some that flip up and some that are actual cases to put the phone in (like on a belt clip), but nothing with opening to the side like a book. Please help! Thanks.
*wonders what you look like when talking on the phone
I'd actually really like this. I dug around a bit and did manage to find what looks like the same case but designed for the EVO. Problem is, it's still on alibaba and is bulk order only.

saw one of these cases in Nashville, at a kiosk in the mall. It seemed to be made out of the fake leather that peels and rubs off. The kiosk was called Cellaris, they have a website but its not on there.
I've always really wanted something like this. As long as the phone easily comes out which it looks like it does. Hope in someone finds some of these!

Could you post a link for that one? Here's a links for some I found on amazon:
Deluxe Folio Ultra Wallet Leather Case:
Black
Red
Pink
Cyan... (I think)
Orange
Clutch (limited stock but I'm sure you can find more.
Another Clutch (this one just shows a GS3 but I'm sure it would work.
With all that said... I don't really like any of these styles, with the clutches obviously not being male friendly. Maybe it's a sign though that we'll start getting some more of this stuff.

Yep, I love the one I got for my gs3. It's not bulky at all and I was quite surprised by the quality of it. Even the magnet is nice and strong . I had forgotten I posted this and glad I came back because the amazon links above are exactly what I wanted. Thanks everyone!

Please give us a review of it when you get it. I don't know why so many of these TPU cases have that "S" line on the back. I think it looks cleaner without it.
They are also showing up on Amazon too.

Thanks! But I'm actually waiting for a white or colored one. I have dark pockets ranging from either purses or jacket pockets. Would really like to be able to see my phone instantly. This is the style I want, though.
Edit: It seems this style actually has different colors. Is it possible to find just the case rather than with the chargers? I live downtown without a car so it isn't really needed.
Edit2: xD; Nevermind, colored cases are for Sprint version.
I dislike silicone because they attract so much dust and lint. But I still ordered one because I don't like my phone being "naked" and there isn't a tpu case out that I like.
I emailed diztronic and they told me that they will have one out in a few weeks. Link is below.

I've had a bunch of those rubberized plastic snap cases before for my old phone. Most of them were pretty bad quality. I'd stay away from the cheap ones on Ebay because they don't get reviewed by users and you can't tell if they are quality or not.

Genuine leather battery cover?

Has anybody here found a real genuine leather battery cover to replace the fake one on the Note 3?
So far the only real leather I have found is on the flip cases.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4
Not that I have seen, it may be a tough one to make unless someone covers an existing battery door with leather itself.
I think a real leather battery cover would be awesome.
A nice tan or beige color would go great with white or black note. Kind of like the interior tan leather color with a white car
Sent from my C6602
IF such a thing does get made, I'd be on it
My only concern is how it will not dissipate heat well at all. Unless they make it from extremely thin leather and stretch it over the OEM battery door....

It's not pleather, it's textured hard plastic. I'd bet you could spray paint it pretty easily.
