Today arrived my brushed metal aluminium backplates for my Mega6.3.
So i want to show them, because they fits great and they' re looking real good.
U can see that it is a lil bit thicker than the original platic plate... but it has a chromelooking border ... i like this style and its just 1 milimeter
If interrested here s the link

You can order identical cases from eBay at half the cost.

Hi, did you test whether it will fully blocked the NFC?
killed my LTE
For what it's worth, I got one of these in blue, looked good, fit good but it was definitely degrading my reception. I had my phone side by side with a friends (ATT) note II and my phone stayed on HSDPA until the cover was removed. Too bad... looked great.
i have one of these coming for free with the Mega i bought on eBay. i have no need for it as i plan on using the leather backplate. if anyone wants to buy it from me PM me

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.

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?

Anyone tried this? Seems like an interesting concept...to replace the back cover with a metal one. Wont do much by way of protection but would definitely suit those who want a high end feel without adding to the bulk...
http://www.amazon.in/Samsung-Galaxy...qid=1385310988&sr=8-13&keywords=galaxy+note+3
Main antenna resides on the bottom back, gps on the top back - NFC will be broken and reception will be slightly lower.
Nope.
retro...Note 2 copycat
same as note 2 faux brushed metal plastic battery cover.. No thanks..scratch easy, moving forward...
Same as the metal backs for any other Samsung phone, just looks cheap to me. The official samsung ones look good but most people don't have access to those.

The Samsungs ones aren't metal so that's probably not gonna help you at all. They're just colored and glossy-ish
So I've been looking around for an aluminum protective case for my note 3 since it came home. As most of you have heard from others, the full aluminum cases despite the protection, suffer from drastic signal loss. I figured I couldn't go wrong with an aluminum bumper and bought two awesome looking bumpers off ebay. One is a gorgeous solid aluminum bumper with no hole for mic but really nicely made and a thin aluminum bumper with all openings. The biggest drawback of both of these bumpers is that there is no camera protection. As all of you have noticed the rear camera is raised a bit, which makes these bumpers a no go if your laying it down on rear. I saw a full protective case on Ebay that was composed of three pieces : aluminum frame, silicone style case and aluminum rear with a cutout. I went ahead and ordered for a measly $14 and some change, thinking it wouldn't be a big loss. My package arrived today from Hong Kong and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. It is the exact look and feel I wanted. For those who want a nice solid aluminum case with no signal loss I recommend you get one. I hardly write stuff on here but I felt compelled to share my experience.
Here's the link to ebay ad.

Does it work with the s charging cover? If so, no need to worry about camera lens as the back sticks out further than lens.

I would think nfc/wireless charging. A bit too industrial looking for me, but it all depends on the eye of the beholder. Definitely unique though.

I'm pretty sure its for NFC as well. Plus it helps with reception as opposed to solid rear cases with affect reception. Personally I'd like to see someone step it up and make some premium CNC cut luxury cases lime they make for iphones with nicely made cut outs in rear. I reached out to three of those companies today , like MeeJoJo and 2 of them said only iphones and s4 's.
These are just some cnc cases for iphone 5s that I'd like to see for our phones.
I think that case is ugly and weird looking. I think it makes the phone look like a plain block of metal. Maybe it would look better if it was black anodized aluminum.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Had something similar for my previous Note 2. These metal cases tend to cause the phone signal to degrade. Hope you guys won't experience that problem.

I agree. It's about the ugliest case I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm a fan of metal cases. I think you may have found the ugliest one of them all.
But if you like it, then good. That's all that matters.

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.
Could you post the silver and link where they were purchased. Thank you.

I had this case cuz I bought it from a local store. I gave up on it after two days because it is so easy to pry apart when screwed on. It makes my OCD scream because it doesn't feel like it's on there, and dust can easily get into the pried crevice.

Bought the Ballistic Jewel LS case for my White Note 3. The case offers great protection as it sticks out a bit from all four corners which offer protection against cracked screens. The front of the case is raised to protect the screen. Love the case as it shows the whole phone through it.

Because I live in the UK this Ballistic case wasn't available from any UK sites. So I had to order it off Ebay, shipped from America so the case was around £7.99 and shipping from America cost £5
