also for me is not so bad. i initially bought 2 phones, the white and the black and had them both in my hand and didn't notice any difference on the material. i kept the white and didn't slip not once so far. and for the last month i have been using a silicone case and it's even better

Can you give me some suggestions on what color should i buy. White or Black?
someone told that the white one is easily attract a dirt on it. is it true?
Thanks for you Response. and sorry for my BAD ENGLISH.
I've the Black model and find it truly stilish and elegant, the white one imho is too showy.
so what you prefer?

The Black one, showy things are not for me.
I've had both now, the white one didn't pick up any dirt to be honest. It does show up dents and scratches pretty badly though and I ended up claiming for a new one on my insurance. I've now got the black and as a phone and lookwise I think it's nicer than the white. The white was fun for a while, but the black just looks that bit better.
black
in my oppinion, the black got more style...

you mean i can go to the service center and change the cover using the warranty?
Thanks for all of your Suggestion!
If you uses phone casing, I think black is nicer and easier to match colours.
White if you don use phone casing.

Hey Guys,
I have lost the back cover from my white note 3, when I traveled a few weeks ago to korea.
Now I would like to buy the black back cover, because of its better feel.
But I'm not sure, if it would look good.
Does someone have this combination and post some pictures of it? ^^
Or even better: Is there a back cover from another seller, which has the look of the original black cover?

So I wasn't too big of a fan of the Midnight Blue color, but it was the only color available from T-Mobile, so I went with it. I purchased a white back cover from ebay and this is how I swapped it out.
Link to back purchased:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261685948756?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
First is the replacement cover itself. It comes with adhesive already applied and a blue cover to be removed before sticking on.
To take the cover off the Nexus 6 I used a dull razor blade, as it was the only thing I could find that wold fit between the back cover and the metal housing. I stuck it in the bottom corner because I thought it would make it easier to peel up. I also put a piece of electrical tape at the point where the razor would touch the metal housing to avoid chipping the metal.
WARNING!!!! There is a ribbon next to the power and volume buttons that will pull up with the cover when removing make sure to use your finger to hold it down as you pull on the cover. Take your time.
Peel off protective cover of new back and stick on . Pretty simple.
Finished.
I do like it wayyyy better than the midnight blue back color. The blue was too boring for me and I am actually liking the 3 tone with white,black and blue. However, once they release the housing I will replace with the housing shipped on the Cloud White model to get rid of the blue. Also remember cloud white is slightly off white so don't a bright white. And thanks to ifixit for the instructions for removing back cover.
And FYI, the white cover has the same texture as the blue. It is also a fingerprint magnet as well, but less visible in most lighting due to the color.
Nice, thanks for sharing. Pics r a little small but still helpful.

Does it feel like factory? I received an RMA'd Nexus 6 (on my third one) and it's perfect--except there are lots of scuffs on the back. :\ I don't want to have to return it and get another dud if this works and looks stock.

It feels just like factory. I'm honestly not sure if it is factory but it is identical to the stock and a perfect fit.

Nice, thanks for the write up, especially the part about the ribbon cable. I ordered a new one on Dec 1 but the tracking hasn't updated since the 4th so who knows when I'll get it.
Edit - Looks like it showed up in Chicago today. Maybe tomorrow I'll have it.

This is why I got a new one. My new Nexus 6 from Sprint came with a few of those scuffs on the back almost like they used the phone as a hockey puck and slid it across the floor before packaging it or something. Nothing I have done has created anything like those scuffs so I am not sure what these phones went through during assembly. I knew the back covers would be cheap since there isn't even an NFC tag or anything attached to them.
Is it possible to still stick the old back on the phone after removing it or will the adhesive not be strong enough to stick? I was thinking about getting a white for fun to see if I like it.

The adhesive seems strong enough on the original cover to reapply. I even put the protective layer that cane with the new back on the old one.

That's good news, it looks like I'm ordering one, I may get a blue one and 'texturize' it and then install it.

i was thinking of picking one up, to see what/how i can paint it black (and look good) while adding texture. Let me know if you have any ideas on how you are going to do this!
Thanks. That's good to know because I'm sure I will be replacing it at some point (I have no case and the back cover will surely get scratched up at the minimal contact point)

There's a rubber paint that I saw at home depot for random stuff like painting your rims and dumb things and its made by krylon if I recall correctly. There is also a sand textured paint for outdoor decor which looked interesting. I'll have to see which one I want before I buy the back.

How long did the back cover take to arrive at your doorstep? It'd be nice to do the conversion before I head off for vacation in a week or so from now.

Shipping from NJ only took 3 days to get to me in Texas.
Thanks for this. Just ordered one!
does anyone know if replacing the white back with one of these blue ones will void any kind of warranty?
I just took the plunge and swapped my navy back for cloud white. I like contrast of the blue bezel with the cloud white. I ordered a navy in case I switch back. What do you think?

Looks good in combination with the darker blue bezels/casing, my white N6 has the chromium/grey casing.

It was easy to do from the YouTube videos, but I do stress caution as the plastic underneath can crack or damage components if you don't get the credit card deep enough. Also if you go too deep the card can catch some of the holes in the plastic shell. Had no issues with the volume ribbon. I even turned the phone on before applying the back to make sure everything worked. It was easy lining everything up before pressing the back on. It fits so well I keep trying to trick myself into thinking something is wrong!

Yes good idea. I got this nexus in a trade for my m9...(got cash too!) And the back had some imperfections so I was like what the hell try it. I feel like the white back is slicker which I like and less fingerprint prone.

Yes... Unfortunately I haven't found many on craigslist, but am satisfied! I think the darker bezel might hold up more to the occasionally hairline scratch as so far looks pretty nice. Not sure how the silver bezel holds up as if now.

Funny. But I've decided against getting a new back. Right now I have a blue skin and may get the white carbon fiber. I really don't want to rip off the back... even though I trust myself enough. Besides, more often than not I have a colored case that would hide the back anyway. (I have at least 10 cases)

Hello All,
Just thought I would pass this along in case there was anyone like me who regretted buying the white HAM2 due to it's slipperyness. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I almost dropped it due to it's slick surface and all the aftermarket covers I bought (5) made it just too big, so I bought an OEM back/battery case cover from the location below pretty cheaply.
http://www.parts4repair.com/back-cover-for-huawei-ascend-mate-2-mt2-black/
When I bought mine (black one) I saw in amazon reviews that the white and the black one were different in that the back covers were smooth vs textured, which tipped my decision for the black version. Also didn't want it to be confused for a sammy product also . Thanks for the link in case my cover ever gets damaged I know where to get it. :good:

Can you please take a picture of your HAM2? I want to see what a white HAM2 would look like with a black back. Or, if anyone else wants to mess around, a black HAM2 with a white back. Like the "white" Nexus 5.

Why did I not think of that haha. Side picture possibly? The back edge is a bit curved. If it's not too much trouble.
Her you go. You actually can see the white side trick with the black back in the side on view. It may look a bit Frankensteinish, but what the heck, I like not dropping it.
I got one of the Xtremeguard clear back protectors. They always have 80-90% off so they can be had for cheap. Works to protect and is also grippy.

Dunno why Huawei made the white cover slick compared to the black one. Noone likes slippery phones. Odd choice.
