My friend picked up the red Note 3 last week and I really fancy getting the back cover for my phone, but for the life of me I can't find a source of them.
I use my phone without a case/bumper/cover and so far have found cheap black and white replacements, reasonable mustard, pale blue, orange ones, and then cheap nasty knockoffs in the wrong shade of red.
Anyone know where I might find one?
EBay?

Link to the product? Only my hours of searching didn't find a thing.
I think recall spotting various official backdoor colours, including a few metallic colours, in the Samsung store in The Hague.

Well, you could try the ones mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617255
Actually, there's even photo's of them in the hands on reviews of AndroidAuthority and Hardwarezone:
The official Samsung retail shops sell them. I don't know if they have the normal red one, though. You could always ask them
I tried my luck with an approved service centre and they said they could source one within 3 days for £10+postage.
Just waiting to see if they can pull it off. Official part code is GH98-29019F.

i wonder if we have samsung center here in the US. I want a color back or two.
Just a quick update on this, got the official red back. Looks lovely on the phone, however the only issue is it feels more plastic than the black one and has less "stick" meaning it slides from my fingers.
some pics ??

Makes sense, the black one is the only one with a rubber coating. The red would feel similar to the white backdoor.
Would love to see how it looks!

So Im getting bored of my White SGP case. I seen this for only 3.00 so I got it!. US Seller quick Shipping for the price!
It has a matte feel to it. It doesn't have a lip and only minimum camera lens protection on the back. It feels great in the hands and looks great on the WHITE Note. I don't think it would look as good on the black one.
If your not rough on your phone Its a decent case especially for the price.
heres an ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-2MM-ULTRA...ccessories&hash=item4164a75d27#ht_2775wt_1396
I have another thicker case coming that's blue. But its from Hong kong so it might be awhile
Here are some pictures.

There is a vendor selling all the colors for $10 shipped, I might just get that. lol
-CC
P.S. I also bought mine from the same vendor, although the top mic was misaligned..
The only thing bad about this case that I noticed is that it traps dirt/particles and scratches up the metal trim around the phone. Other than that, the feel of the phone is awesome. Almost naked.

Hey for 10 clams, I'd give em a try - got a link to that vendor?
I had one of these .2 mm cases but then noticed there was a<.1 mm case It looks and feels about the same. Although .2mm and <.1mm isn't that much difference, it is noticeable in the hand.
p.s. took about 2 and a half week for the item to come :/

I have 3 galaxy s3 here today, white. When i look at it in bright light on the back cover its a pattern in the plastic, it looks like a oily map, holograms or something like rainbow colors reflecting in patterns.
Can anyone else check the back cover under a lamp ?

I can confirm in any light, including torch shining on it, what you are experiencing is not present on mine. Get them to send you a new back cover (and pray they don't send you blue )

I think its just the hyper glazing stuff. Ive seen similar looks in other products too.
My only issue with the phone is the brightness level. Other than that i`m well happy.
This is coming from a Galaxy Nexus too.

I was really looking forward to getting the orange and blue ones.
Also am I correct in assuming that all the official battery covers are also wireless charging which adds little bit of thickness ?

you need to search for note 3 battery cover, there is a lot that will turn up, but not colours like blue, you will get black, white and pink.
But I know there are lots available in china, but hard to get if not sold online, you only bet is from:
www.aliexpress.com
or if you know chinese
www.taobao.cn
update, there are starting to show up on ebay, oem lime, orange, yellow etc.

I truly want this blue battery back.
Does anyone know where to get one?
I try to contact Samsung but since its the weekend they wont answer.
I dont care if its a third party company just looking for one that looks like the official. All the ones on ebay look crap and arent the right color or texture.

Good search but i have been looking for a few days now.
I came up with pretty much all that. i have no problem with ebay i use it all the time.
I do like the orange one with the sliver line on it. but they do not sells those in a dark blue color.
The other ones are either metal, shinny or pastel.
Im simply looking for a dark blue one that is like the stock white one.
As seen in the picture it had texture to it.
I was thinking about getting one of those flip cases and cutting off the front flip since i dont like that. But im just not sure.
Thanx for the help tho

if that's the case - all of this hub-bub over what to cover it with is invalidated if we can just change the plate behind it. would be sweet if you could re-position the notification LED to illuminate the back panel.
I like the black bar and I'll embrace it. Went with the Frost to emphasize it. Besides, those chamferred edges on the Frost was just too sexy to pass up.
