I'd like that as well and I'm sure there will be a flood of leather back covers for most of the Samsung phones on eBay after a few weeks.

This is a rather intriguing new phone which should be out soon. It looks similar to the Galaxy Camera but with phone capabilities. Engadget says there is a Russian review that is out; has anyone read it ? In particular how good is the camera?
(I don't think there is a Zoom forum on XDA so I hope it's OK to discuss it here)

Speculation.... Could be brand free like the S4. Except the back
I like it. I like the Snapdragon 800, the speakers at the bottom and the headphone jack at the bottom. I think if someone would trade i may do it. But it not having a sdcard does suck. I have the 32GB s4 and a 32GB SDCard. It would be nice if it did and is the battery non removable? not a big deal if its not. I go all day with my s4 and still have 50% left. But i don't like the quickwindow cover I like the look of the s view cover a lot better and love using it. It is nice to see how much stuff the quickwindow cover does though.

Im getting it as soon as it comes out im putting my s4 on ebay using the money to pay off my g2 and have spare change left over haha
I could have sworn when the manual was leaked the other day it showed a SD slot?
Nah, I'm rooted with TWRP on MDK and the specs are perfectly what i wanted in a phone. 5" screen 1080p 2gb ram removable battery and SD slot. I was one that never had any lag on the phone even before root (i waited 4 days to root). I get normally 6+ hours of on screen time and once got just shy of 8 hours.
No need for more phone. i mean maybe in a year or so and even then this phone will be almost as good as what comes out then. Plus i don't like LG overall. Only this phone as a true nexus would be tempting.

No replaceable battery, no SD card, no way.
Unless I missed it, does anyone have any links to order or preorder an s-view case for the Gnote 3?
So far all I have found is ebay listings for cases in china and Australia (for the real deal that is).
Would love to get my case before my GN3 shows up. Any help, links appreciated.
the authentic smart view cases from china has the Samsung packaging those goes for around $10~$13

I order one of the cheapies already and I only found 2 people that say the ones they are selling are 100% auth ($60). Of course anyone can say its authentic and sell fake, however the 2 vendors I looked at have deep and decent ratings. Anywho, it looks like no stateside source yet. I am still scratching my head as to how they can release the phone and no accessories.
Strange..really surprised they aren't listed as an accessory yet. Samsung dropped the ball there.

Here, some wireless companies had cases (Although the better ones take time to come out) but to my knowledge, most of the time they don't have official Samsung accessories on launch. Samsung didn't "drop the ball" Blame whoever you purchased the phone from in Greece, for not carrying any type of accessories.
I dont see the back battery covers =-(
Samsung is always really delayed when it comes to accessories though.
Government shut down makes customs slow for shipments.

The price is a lot more incredible too. Problem with both is, the bootloader issue. They are working on a safety strap to work with or as a recovery. I think N3 is closer to that then the Mega. But he Mega is made to be more affordable. It has already been approved for 4.3 upgrade, 4.4 ?????? We'll have to see. Just 2 weeks ago att had it for $49 online.

buying the note 3 is like going out and buying an ip5s, your stuck with what the manufacture wants you to have
Samsung can suck a hole in a wall and leave android for all i care now days, they peaked with the note 2 and now are on the hill downwards with apple
with that said, 4.1.2 is the last stop for the i717, we are way over the 18 month period and were lucky to even get 4.1.2
the Knox security is a hell of a mess from Samsung for sure , but I still got hope that will not affect the development for this device. Maybe more time but not the end . all this mess for more money in theirs pockets ..

I upgraded to a Note 3 and its a huge improvement from the note 1 , the pen works really well and find I use it a lot more than I did before. Go to your carrier of choice and play with one before picking something you are unsure of. l rooted mine no problem (Im not a big fan of Roms because they always caused problems after 4.2.2 For me anyways ... something always broke.) My mission now is to find the best functioning kitkat rom as it was meant to be buiIt for aging phones that dont have the impressive specs of a newly released flagship device. l almost got a Xperia Z1 because of my tablet Z but didnt like the bezels top and bottom, (AND NO PEN). Awesome job on the pen I cant stress how much better it is?

I have an S4...but I want a note 1 as a back up. I had the Note 2 but I sold it for lots of loot. The S4 is brilliant but the locked bootloader has cramped the phone to the point of constipation as if you got a S4 on MF 4.2.2 firmware or MK 4.3 firmware the boot loader is super locked. They even killed the service menu. So Im selling my S4 for cash + the note 1 for temp use until I see what I want next. Samsung is the only phone company left with dual storage. LG has the Optimus G pro with 32GB and an SD card slot, but with the specs on that phone they will never see 4.2.2 on it.. And it's a beast of a phone...so I will take this Note 1 + $250 and call it a day until February

Do it. There is nothing better than getting a Nexus. I jumped to Nexus 4 from the Note about 10 months ago, and just upgraded to a Nexus 5. The developer support on a Nexus is amazing. I could have easily stuck with the Nexus 4 for another year, but the lack of LTE was bothering me a bit. A Nexus phone is pure gold. By the time the Note got to be the age that my Nexus 4 was at, I was tired of it. Don't give another dime to Samsung, who will spend it on rewriting perfectly good android code into buggy bloatware. Don't let the lack of sd card bother you. I have lived with 16 GB storage without any issue, and Nexus 5 comes in 32 GB too, for just $50 more.

I checked the Note 3 forum and it appears right now there is no way to root without tripping KNOX. It is also not possible to go back to 4.3 due to the bootloader. So we might not be missing out on much yet, as I'd rather have root and warranty than 4.4.
