There is. Its the s charging cover. No raised lip. Just raised cover that gives about .5-.75mm or thereabouts of clearance.
Btw op, how is the faux carbon fiber? Does it stick well and have a little thickness to it? And does it have texture or is flat/smooth? I am using skinomi for the back and have mixed feelings about it. It's too splotchy because of the texture of the faux leather. Might change it.

i'm not a fan of the faux-carbon fiber back but the bumper looks great
The bumper looks great. Any effect on signal?
How thick would you say the bumper is?
Any issues with the bumper and signal I am also thinking about ordering one.
Thanks

The battery cover comes as the entire cover, not a sticker. It feels like carbon fiber before it's been glazed and baked for the most part.

I like the look, but I am more interested in the texture.
While the Aluminum back makes for a sexy device, it is attrocious for holding. I would like the rubberized feel of either the silicone skin or the hard cover. Then I could ditch the extra mass from the hard cover.
How is the texture on this? Does it feel like plastic, rubber or paper?

A bumper is probably the only case that will work with it if its thicker than the stock cover. In another thread someone said they use the poetic borderline bumper(or maybe it was the bear motion bumper) with the Samsung wireless charging cover.
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.
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.

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 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.
