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
Ever thought about linking to where others can get one for themselves? The hell is the point in reviewing something without letting fellow gn3ers know where to get one?

So is it plastic or metal? or is it basically metal with a plastic lining on the inside?
The backing is primarily plastic with a thin aluminum sheet on it.

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.

The lip all the way around isn't quite right. By this I mean stuff gets stuck in it and I have to remove it to clean the crevices.
Anyone have a better case than the Diztronic they recommend?

Trojan? But seriously, without that lint/crud catching lip around it, you'd scratch your screen when you set the phone face down. It's a trade off I'm willing to deal with, I suppose.

I love my cruzerlite with the android logo on the back. It's super svelt and you can see the notification light on the power button. I got the smokey gray one. Perfect fit, feels great, no problems in/out of pocket, good price ($15 range).

Thanks I'll take a look at the cruzerlite, I've been meaning to.
I've had my eye on the cruzerlite one too but I tried a cheapo hard case first (which is ok but I'm not in love with it). I will have to try it out based on your recommendation!
I have the red cruzerlite and really like it. Fits nice and tight all cutouts are good and line up nicely.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I've got both case and I find the Diztronic to fit much, much better and just is of much better quality. The Cruzerlite does fell much slimmer, though it seems to have a bit of sag on the top & bottom edges and the sides seem to give more if brushed against when swiping & such.

I was so excited to get the clear one, but the damn thing leaves air pockets on the back and makes it look hideous instead of showing off its beauty, I was pretty disappointed with it ha
Its because of the case material and our phone being glass. Its just sticking is all. How often do you look at the back of your phone?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I got the diztronic just to hold me over until I found one I actually wanted but when I got it I realized I actually really like it. Fits like a glove and I can hardly tell its on from the front. Plus I like the soft tpu feel.
I just got my Diztronic in today, loving how slim it is, and I doubt the TPU will break in half on the weak part just from plugging/unplugging the charger like the surround case I had.
That said, I'm not looking forward to finding out what happens when my clumsy *** lets it slip out of my hands...

I have almost every color because I absolutely love the Cruzerlite cases & this way I can switch out to whatever color strikes me at the moment. I find the ribbing along the side to be a fantastic perk because this enables grasping the phone much easier plus the cases just look awesome.
Meant to add that I also have the Diztronic case & also like that one quite well.

Has anybody here found a real genuine leather battery cover to replace the fake one on the Note 3?
So far the only real leather I have found is on the flip cases.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4
Not that I have seen, it may be a tough one to make unless someone covers an existing battery door with leather itself.
I think a real leather battery cover would be awesome.
A nice tan or beige color would go great with white or black note. Kind of like the interior tan leather color with a white car

My only concern is how it will not dissipate heat well at all. Unless they make it from extremely thin leather and stretch it over the OEM battery door....

Oops just realized I posted pretty much the same thing you did. :silly:
Anyone find anything similar? I am still looking for a real leather back door!!!!
I imagine the market for this would be extremely small.
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.

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.

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.

I dont like how the bottom left has the little bump out for the screws. Makes it not fit in a seidio dilex holster.

just do it upside down lol.
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.

Not bad, I like the black one. The price isn't too terrible either.
Now that's a real man's case. STEEL!!!!
+10 to man pts.
iPaq, I miss you
This looks EXACTLY like an iPaq case I had almost 10 years ago. Funny how things stay the same.
Standing by for someone to get this and check if all the aluminum interferes with the signal

Undoubtably. It's a lesson ASUS learned the hard way with their TF201...
Especially considering this is the description:
"Metal casing not only beautiful, but also has to reduce radiation. Therefore, it would have some interference signals. At weak signal area, may interfere with your cell phone use. However, in strong signal areas do not have any problems. If you mind, please buy with caution. I do not accept interference problems due to signal the negative feedback. Thank you for understanding."
It's like hearing Mark Rutte attempting to speak English, but what I can make out from that is that in weak-signal areas, you've basically got yourself a very expensive paperweight.
It does look really awesome, particularly the black one.
I like it except for the giant hinge on the side.
I want to rock that case so bad, but I simply cannot sacrifice signal.

I have one (silver) on the way from China, no idea when it will arrive.
If some of you are thinking about it, search ebay for "Iron man aluminum" for some better prices than I paid on Etsy.
I can sacrifice a little signal for something cool.
Has anyone received theirs yet? I've been using the old love Mei aluminum case and I'd like a new case. I just don't want to lose more signal than I do now.

Mine must be on a slow boat... no idea when it will arrive. Looked all over the interwebz for a review or video but couldn't find one.
Any updates?

Got it this week but have been travelling so haven't had much of a chance to mess with it. Front is metal, back and sides are plastic, so I don't think there is going to be an interference issue. I put the phone in it for a few minutes and didn't notice a big difference in signal.
Case is pretty bulky and heavy, but I can guarantee it will stand out in a crowd!
