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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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

Just got this in the mail 2 days ago so I just wanted to share some thoughts on it.
First off the fitment is perfect. It actually fits a little better than the stock backing. This is the Silver w/ white trim which looks amazing on my white Note 3.
It also definitely adds a decent amount of weight to the phone so for those that want to keep the phone feather light this is not something I would recommend to you.
I don't really use NFC much so I haven't really tested how much it affects it. But I haven't noticed any degrading in my cell and wifi signal.
Overall I love this back because it makes the phone feel a whole lot sturdier. Almost feels like my HTC one in terms of build feel but do remember what I said about the added weight.
Hope this helps some people who were thinking about getting this.
Here's a link to the item on ebay: Aluminum / Plastic Backing

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but I've removed the backing a few times already and there is not marking at all.
does this work with wireless charging?
hmm. looks pretty good! the case seems thicker.
does it sink/cover the camera?
with the leather back, the camera kinda protrudes..

I've got the black w/ white trim version on my GN3. These cases are noticeably thicker than the stock case, between 0.5 and 1.0 mm thicker, I'd say. The protrusion from the camera is reduced, but it still sticks out. I'd eyeball the camera bump at 1/3mm with the aluminum case.
As someone has mentioned, these are plastic backs with a very thin metal layer.
I'm undecided if I'm seeing signal difference or not. If I am, it's less than 1-bar on average.
Note that these backs are much slicker than stock. Almost slippery in the hand. They are extremely smooth, other than a slight horizontal brushed effect.
Overall, I'm happy with the new back, but I'm probably going to revert to stock. I ordered the replacement before I had my phone in-hand and I find I like the stock back a lot more than I was expecting to.

Not sure if we're buying the same ones but my camera doesn't stick out at all.
It's very close but definitely tucked in enough to protect the camera lens.
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.
