Does the non-branded International Note 2 battery door fit the Verizon version? If so, I'll be replacing that and putting a sticker over that hideous branding on the home button the first day I get my phone.
PS: FU Verizon
Well, if your planning on buying a cover for it I wouldn't sweat the backplate as it will be covered anyway.
That being said, as far as the button goes, I personally don't even notice it, however I did see that Spigen had started selling aluminum button covers. I actually started considering them.

I won't be putting mine in a cover. Still wondering if the international back plate will fit. I assume it will, but I don't want to buy one on ebay unless I know it does.

You can always try going to a T-Mo or ATT store and trying their backs on the device if they allow it.
Go to Sprint and ask for a battery door, it's unbranded, att has that globe thing on the back.
tappin from the note ll
I bought the Sprint Version, and it fits.
I have Korean back plate, Sprint version, and obviously the VZW version... All the batter back plates have same pattern.
Picture shows VZW - Korean "no carrier' version - Sprint Ver.
Where from?

I got both from E-bay. I think I paid about $20 for Sprint Version and $30 for Korean Version. Of course, Korean version was new in plastic.

Not sure if you are interested in it, but I bought the Samsung "official" flipcover that replaces the battery cover with a new one that is attached to the flip cover and the only thing it says on the back cover is Samsung and I bought this flip cover from Verizon.

There's brushed metal battery doors also, but I think I'll be getting the official flip cover.
I'm ecstatic that the Note 2 isn't differentiated on all carriers like a lot of phones are nowadays.
I might buy that Korean one just because it's simple.
Ok I ordered one! Anybody wanna buy an s3? Lol
Not an iPhone.....
Anyone know where to get a black plastic/brushed metal style battery cover (not flip case) preferably with NFC? Was thinking I'd like to get the Otterbox Defender, mod the original grey case to have it fit the Hyperion Extended battery in there, then switch it out with one in black in case using the regular batter I find it's too bulky for painting and drawing.
I would like to buy a sprint back cover in titanium Grey but ebay has so many fakes its horrible. They have decent fakes but I want the real Samsung one

Order it directly from Samsung. They have them for all carriers in America. Samsung mobile. You can google the rest.
Whoever dropped the info about the unbranded sprint covers -- thank you!! I'm going in next week. Verizon branding is hideous.
Has anyone attempted surgery on a flip cover yet?

Actual usage is better in the Mega since is has the newer version of touchwiz and android plus its CPU and GPU has newer architecture than the Note 2. Here's a video comparison of the Note 2 and the mega 6.3, notice the lags on the Note 2 around 6:00 onwards.
I sold my Note II and got the Mega and have no regrets. This phone is more modern, fast and fluid throughout the whole UI :good: It performs like a champ and the screen is surprisingly good for a 720p, crisp and clear with great contrast and outdoor visability

I would suggest you think again. I have a Note I as well as the Mega 5.8 DUOS. Note I and Note II (and indeed any Samsung Galaxy 'Note') have the S-Pen which, for some (like me) is a key productivity tool. I create and sign documents and do all sorts of great things on my Note I but cannot do same on the Mega.

I'm using an S line gel case which is quite cheap but very efficient. There's a case thread in the accessories section of the forum for more choices.

There is a good selection of cases on eBay and Amazon. By the way, if you think for a moment why we need a case for these devices, it is to protect them from damage. The most serious damage is not the scratches on the back, but a broken screen. I personally do not think a case that does not protect the screen is effective, so I never go for those gel cases.

I've had many devices with huge screens and I have never broken a screen. I just use a screen protector and a slim gel case. Also, I personally don't like the extra bulk and the price of the 'high end' cases. Lots of people use them and they still break their screens, I am more into scratch protection as I want my phone in pristine condition when I sell it on next year.

I rarely use the S-Pen on my Note 2 before so it won't be a huge deal breaker.
What color is the best? Is the white plastic ok? Like will it turn yellow or stain?

I have never seen a Samsung phone stain due to their hyper glaze tech so it's not something to worry about.
I personally prefer black because the screen blends with the little bezel in front of the phone.
Does anyone know if there is a clear back cover for the Note 3? One that replaces the existing one but is completely transparent?
I saw one on eBay. Imo it looks dumb because your just end up seeing the battery and SIM.
I was also wondering to buy one transparent case...and I was looking for some on net...got to find this slim grip hybrid case for N3 and I really liked it....so just ordered it..and as per the tracking status..will be receiving it by tomorrow...will surely put up the reviews...its different looking nice...

Yabbut, isn't this a case that goes ON the outside of the device over the back cover? I was looking for a transparent back cover. I kind of like the industrial look of someone seeing the back and the battery and the device internals. Hey, some of us are geeky that way.

It's not exactly a magnet - I've had mine a mine a month and it looks fine
I bought one a few months back , in fact bought 2 as i had misplaced the one and later found it ,
For me they are just uselss, huge protection but bloats this beauty like a buffalo, becomes so much more difficult to handle the phone with one hand.
Certainly not for me , but if you have clumsy hands and your phone tends to fall a lot then go for it with eyes closed , nothing can ever protect a phone better than OTTERBOX
When I was considering buying the S3 and perusing it's forum, I encountered a thread, or threads, that talked about the pro and cons of various cases in respect to magnets contained within them, and potential trouble/interference/distortion of magnets on the screen and S-Pen. So, this is to start a similar discussion on this subject as I have ordered the S4 and will, almost certainly, want to use it with a case of some sort.
I have already ordered the TiMOVO Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5" Case from Amazon https://1n.pm/WDzp1
but wish to see what others are doing/thinking.
I don't that is a bad choice. I like the similarities to my S3 cover. I have the S4 keyboard and it could have been better designed.
UAG case
I'm not really a fan of cases with the flip covers. I was hoping to get something with a kickstand on the back, but most that I found online were flip covers.
I was hoping for a rugged case to come out, but with very limited options I just went to a local gadget store and chose the Urban Armor Gear Exoskeleton 10". The top edges of the screen are slightly covered but with watching movies there's usually a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen so I don't really mind it. The Tab is kind of exposed but there really isn't much bulk when holding it. It has a small kickstand and a slot for the S-pen. It's not perfect but it's working well for me. Amazon has a cheaper price compared to the official UAG website.
I also have the grey model (off-white back) and opted for the black exoskeleton case. I am enjoying the contrast between the tablet and the case.

To anyone, The s pen is very easy to lose, why would you buy a case that cant hold it?
I picked up the samsung book cover from best buy today(price match amazon $54) seems pretty high quality so far. I wish UAG would make the metropolis case for this tab. That is my favorite tablet case of all time, but seem they only like apple.
I got one from Verizon, it's their brand but it's just like an otter box. No flip cover and surprising thin and nice.

thanks Scott. that's pretty reassuring, as this case would tick a lot of boxes. the S4 (esp the 256GB / 6GB / LTE version) is so damn expensive (and imported), i need to be careful
have you seen this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9M9LHphyo
user claims "The magnet effect happens over time, and is likely not reversible. I don't recommend using cases w magnet auto sleep."
Stay original! This is s damn expensive device, especially those of us that got the LTE version from start.
I got the Samsung Book Cover, and gonna buy the keyboard cover if there are any black friday deals out. =)
I like the Infiland case because it has a dedicated slot for the pen as well.

Yes it has! Works 100% of the time. Only minor flaw with tablet is that I often like to have the case in "low profile" and when I am using DEX mode, it wont rotate to fit "low profile".
