2 . This version is a two piece that clicks together
What version would you go for, and why?

I buy a 1. version. Good for stock magnetic charger dock, and very nice design.
I recommended this version.
I am already using Option 1 for my XZU. He is right as it is very convienent for Magnetic charger option.

Does anyone have some experience how much such a metal bumper would affect the signal strength?!

I had one on my galaxy mega 6.3 and it did effect signal strength noticeably, I would say about a 20% loss. If you are always in very high signal strength areas this may not be a big deal, but at home I am usually 1 to 2 bars and with the case it was 0 to 1.
Thanks guys, I've ordered option 1

Heard it scratches the phone itself
I bot the 1st ver. Adds quite a fair bit of width to the phone which affected the handling and I was concerned with it scratching the phone rather than protecting it. Dumped it after 2 days of usage....

Anyone have a simple way to prevent the sides of the battery door from squeaking? Mostly on the left side. Anyone else have this issue? Happens on my oem extended and oem standard door. Thanks in advance.

I had the same case and holster for the stock battery from verizon and quit using it after my phone slid out and hit the floor 5 times...
Went back to a leather case that you put the phone in (with belt clip).
perhaps a tad of electrical grease?...

If its the same thing that's happening to me then its not so much a squeak as it is feeling like its not completely on right.

I had that case and mine has always been tight. Had to really try and get it out to answer. I have 3 extras back from cpo they sent.
Well, my first drop on my week old phone was apparently enough to "almost" completely kill it.
Anyway, i'm looking for a new glass screen for it. I found some on eBay but they only have the international Galaxy Note glass panel. Does anyone know where i could get the glass for the i717?

No, I prefer to run my phones bare. Never had a drop quite this bad.
It was from a good 3-4 feet right onto its screen
I suggest waiting a bit more. The phone just got launched so there are not many accessories for it now.
Btw it's good to know that the note really has gorilla glass. Your screen would have died completely if it was a traditional LCD.

I totally agree about the gorilla glass. However I feel that the size of the note leads to more flex in its chassis.
The glass is only 15 bucks for the international note, hopefully they get one for ours.
Sorry to hear about your disaster . Hope a screen shows up soon.

Makes me glad I ordered a case even more now.

I wish that was a wallpaper with dark marks making it look like broken glass, but alas it's not... It's real sad, but that could easily been prevented by putting a case. But i don't blame you at the same time because it his a lot more nicer without a case...

Hey guys! Made a quick unboxing of what you get with the Verizon version of the Galaxy Note 3 for all those that were wondering and haven't got their devices yet, or maybe just haven't gotten back from work yet.

Comparison to the Note 2
http://tinypic.com/m/fz1xsk/3
Thanks bro that was a great unboxing. Appreciate that you took the time to do that for those of us that dont have the phone yet or are still deciding to pull the trigger and commit to the Note 3.
Great vid and pics... makes me very excited that I bought the black version. Now I can't sleep the phone will be at my house in 12 hours.
Thanks guys! And no problem. I'm definitely already in love with this phone.

I need to really go check out the black version and see how the feel is. I have white and it feels really slippery in my hand. If the black one feels better I'll be replacing it.

I think you'll definitely find that the black feels much better, if you haven't already.

Yep I got the black and loving it. Feels much better.
I put my Ultra down on my console where I happened to have two loose staples lying from a package I'd opened earlier.
When I picked it up, the staples were magnetically attached to the bottom right corner of the phone - around where the speaker is.
Has anyone else noticed the phone having magnetic properties?
Speakers have magnets in them. This phone is just thin enough and the staples just light enough that they stick. No biggie.

Fun fact (not really): Phones that support wireless charging uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects, so they have magnets under the back cover. Not a lot of people (Nexus 5 owners for example) are aware of this, so they get surprised when things "sticks" to the back.

That is probably why @hamdogg has so many issues with his Ultra, he must have a knock-off

Hi guys, I bought this case for $5.99 from amazon and I couldn't be any happier.
It feels great, protects all corners and sides on the tablet, the wake/sleep function works properly. Cutout for the mic is precise. Stand function works great. Not bulky which I like.
I also have the other one called "Fintie" case which is built the same, but without the metal on the front right side. The "metal" in my opinion is a good thing as it gives you a place where you pull the front flap to open so you don't damage the sides with repeated "pulling".
I am going to get a Dark Brown and Dark Blue

Nope, but before I slipped my Tab pro in, I filed the edges a little just to be sure there's no nasty surprizes...
