Anybody knows? On the original back door cover there's these two lil metal dots that look like they connect to the phone when you snap it on. I want to get one of those flip cases but not through Samsung since they charge so much. The third party covers are built the same but are missing the two metal dots.

Yes, the NFC chip is in the back cover, so you would need to buy a cover that has NFC.

Good to know. I guess that's why Samsung want so much. Thank you!

Or just peel it of and put it on your new case since it is a sticker and will peel right off and sick to the new case.

This is true but aluminum covers will not work even if you do this.

You can also buy the nfc chip on ebay for about $4. It will stick right in the stock location.

I went to best buy and bought a book cover thinking it would work with my euro N7000 note... I was wrong. I did take a dremel to it and MADE it work! Lol! Just have to file off some of the little feet that clamp it on. Anyway, thought I might save some people the hassle.

Any pics on this or can anyone confirm that US battery cover does not fit the international Note?
What about the battery itself. That should work correct?

The batteries are the aame. I would like to know what needs to be done to make the covers work though.

Sorry guys... forgot about this. I took a dremel and sanded 5 or 6 of the little feet on the inside half off. If you lay both doors beside each other you can see they are identical except for samsung made 5 or 6 of the feet twice as big on the U.S. version... also, the NFC antenna area on the U.S. version has an area that's raised and that had to be sanded too as it made the door not sit tight against the back. All that being said, if you need "confirmation", go to best buy and buy one... you'll have your confirmation then.

Yeah I have a Samsung white leather case that I got with the att version of the note which I no longer have. It don't fit my n7000. The case was free so not much to complain about but I have no use for it.

I really want to paint the screen bezel and battery covrr of this phone.Completly debrand the back I was thinging of painting it either white or chroming the bezel andback plate and just deal with polishing it every day (although I'm not sure how well the chrome will bend when removing the back plate) so any suggestions shud I or shouldn't I. how should I go about painting it.

Bro... skinit.com ? Why go through all that hassle rather than stick a decal on it? Cmon work smarter not harder.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I think painting it would be cool, as long as you put a nice finish on it to keep it from scratching off.
I'd paint mine a chrome color.

That's cool. I've been thinking about plasti-dipping my back cover. Stuff is great. It's durable yet peels right off if done right. People use it on there cars all the time. I did my hood with it

Great stuff, but do NOT use it on your phone back, it will cause a mess.
I use it all the time to cover my spark plug cables on my Jet Ski, and while it does coat everything with rubber, it is NOT a smooth/polished finish.
I think I might even alumacoat the bezel or even ceramicoat (If I can find someone who still does it)

I have been thinking way too much about the finger print catcher battery cover on this phone and started to think...how hard would it be for a company to produce a ceramic battery door for this phone? Would anyone even buy one?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Due to the way that my ceramic coated wedding band will not scratch this would be awesome. I have a feeling though that the ceramic would block signals.

I was just on ebay searching for a different battery cover and I found a carbon fiber and a leather cover I liked. I almost bought it until I looked at the pictures really close and noticed that non of'm had the 2 LTE antenna prongs on them like the US versions. Man that sucks, the leather cover is really nice

My local sprint store has the defender now so if youve been waiting for it you might want to give them a call. Fits perfect but does add bulk to the phone. I took the screen protecter off also because im using a zagg hd.

So with the defender being huge and a rubber shell how is pocket access?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
just got mine last night. sprint store was supposed to call me when they got them in. glad i found this thread.
For those that are lucky enuff to have found these in stores near by, were they all black or did they have any of the other two colors? The guy at my Sprint store is supposed to call me when they get them and I want the Glacier one, but all I have heard was people finding black ones so far. If black's the only one being shipped I'll end up going with that if I find it first since I can't stand carrying this phone around without it being protected.
Two things for me is no way will I pay that for a piece of plastic and rubber. Plus with that wide of a case my thumb wouldn't be able to reach the opposite side of the screen. No single hand tapping anymore.
Think I am just going to get a cheapo rubber case to give me some grip on the back.

After a month with my Hyperion 4200 the back cover cracked at the corners. I, like others who have this problem, really "baby" my phones so I agree that the issue is cheap manufacturing.
I emailed them asking if I could purchase a new cover but no response?
So Im wondering if anyone has a place to get one or a different extended batter cover they would recommend?
Also yes I searched, been an xda'er for a good little while and I read every page of a thread that interest me! I have tried the links for the sedio cover, but after making an account I can't find a button or link to order it!
