I have the opportunity to get a note2 but I can't stand the Verizon logo on the home button. It just looks out of place. I didn't see anything in the stickies so has there been any tutorials on removing this logo successfully. Is it on the surface where u can rub it off or is it coated with gloss finish on top of it.

I did find some vinyl overlays. That would be the way to go if they stick. Anyone ever used them?

The button logo doesnt bother me as much as the big friggin logo printed on the back of the phone. Makes it look like bumper stickers all over a car lol!

The logo seems non existent to me. It's less noticeable on the gray version vs the white version, IMO.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 4
The logo is not bad on the gray one. I don't understand why some people make a big deal about it. The white version does stand out a lot more but in my opinion getting the white one is kinda like saying "I want my phone to look like an iphone, but still be useful."

There is a gentleman on here (can't remember his name though) that makes the vinyl overlays in different colors that are really kick ass. I ordered a few different versions from him. They stay on and look good. I wish I could remember off hand who it was. He did post them here in the general section, although that was probably a year ago now. Do an XDA search for them and I'm sure his stuff will pop up.

I've tried the vinyl stickers and they weren't a good match. Under certain light, it would either look purple or blue. I also don't like the Spigen buttons because they don't match. The closest match I've found to the gray is the Gunmetal button from Mime.

It was $1 with my screen protector, so I figured I would try it, and it's a near perfect match.

I bought these and the sgp ones. After using the vinyl ones for a week, I switched the spg and never looked back. The vinyl doesn't cover the button fully and it has a weird gloss to it. Overall, I think it makes the phone look cheaper from an aesthetic standpoint. The raised button from spg was actually way better. I found that it feels more like an actual button and it covers the button fully. Especially if you have a white or grey phone, the buttons match the phone way better.

It was only gunna be a big deal to me because i actually use sprint. The guy had a sprint version that had the screen replaced with a Verizon screen. So I didn't want a sprint phone with a Verizon logo. Luckily I found someone else to trade me with a stock sprint screen. I traded my black htc one for a grey note2

I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

Same here.

I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.

initially wanted the white as well.....from the front it looks like the pebble blue phone is almost black which i like, this phone is so awesome i dont care what color it is!!! lol
I've read alcohol wipes, penny with tape on it and a sugar cube could work. Any more thoughts? It NEEDS go ASAP. That's the first thing I noticed in the VZW looking at the display.

I'm going to wait until a video tutorial pops up, where I can watch someone perform the action to their device, before I try it on mine. I hate the VZW logo on the button as much as the next person, but I'm not going to risk having a screwed up button over removing the logo.
I don't mind the logo... not really that big of a deal but I seen someone used water mixed with sugar on a rag and wipped it off.

Actually, this is the method I have been hearing for a month. You are supposed to tape around the logo and then mix water and sugar until it is pasty. Then you rub the logo off. The sugar acts as sand paper and grinds the logo off.
Now, my experience with hydrochloric acid definitely says for you to not use 8 oz overnight...

Yeah I'm wonder about this too. Trying to decide between the DNA and this, and that logo is killing me. I haven't played with either phone yet, but from all the videos/pictures I've seen, the logo is pretty stand out-ish. Yeah the DNA is pretty much Verizon color schemed, but in all honesty, flat black and red looks amazing.
Verizon seriously has some idiots working for them. Whoever thought it was a good idea needs a swift kick in the ass.

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?

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!!!

Hey if you want to tell Verizon screw off, and get the same battery door as the rest of the world, then buy one from ebay. I contacted this seller and they say it has the Samsung logo and all. So I ordered one for my white Note 3, I'll post it when I get it. But here is the link if you want one. They are worth the price in my opinion, the Verizon battery cover looks horrible.

So I have to say I checked out a black one yesterday and my new back feels very similar if not exactly the same as the black one. Maybe they changed the material for printing on the White one when the carriers branded the phones, but it's also not as shiny as the old back. Looks and feels better, win win.

Yeah that's what everyone says but I just compared this new one with a Verizon black one and it feels exactly the same. This new one with Samsung branding is a different build then the White Verizon one. Even the stamped code on the back is different by one number. When you hold it with no phone on it, you can feel it's a fraction thicker. I'm really happy with this back
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Nice cover! If I ever run my phone naked, I'd scoop one of these up. But since I have a case on my phone, you'll never see the back cover so it'd be a waste of $20. Good find though.
