Black carbon fiber battery door replacement

I bought it from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Brus...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item53ef678d0f
I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.

What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I'm pretty sure these ones don't have nfc

Wow sweet find! Thanks!

Man that looks great! If there was one that had NFC, I'd buy it for sure

Why not just take it off the old case?

Looks a bit thicker than stock. Is it?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.

I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question
There was another guy on this forum who bought several battery door to try but haven't heard any update from him

Do these affect signal? I had one of these on my GS3 and could not get LTE unless I took it off. Overall reception was bad while using it.

Sweet ordered a couple.
Now for a bumper that will fit the sides well.
Any idea or have anyone tried a bumper with this yet?

Here is someone selling a aftermarket back door and the aluminum bumper together. This leads me to think it will fit without a problem...

Might have a go at diy'ing it with some carbon vinyl. Wait till my metal bumper case arrives first

I did find a video after posting but would be nice to see some still images to get a good idea, would be great if you could give me your impressions when you've got it on.

Here you are. The photos are not mine but I have tried it and I don't really like it.

Thanks for that, I'm undecided tbh. Not sure I like the look of the black one.

I had the same hesitation but after trying the black I can tell you that it is just great. There is a commuter thread where I have posted some photos.

Thanks for that, I found your photos and the one of the phone on the case next to the box looks really nice. I thought the white one would provide a nice contrast but really not sure now.
What's grip like on the back?

It is slippery but this is a great case. For my taste it is thin enough amd really sturdy. Highly recommended.

I've currently got the Samsung hard cover and I like it other than the glossy back panel, I had the glacier commuter on my white s3 and I really liked it.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

same with me as well. I have the samsung cover and kind of want the commuter but I am worry about the thickness and bulkines it adds to the note.

I have a Speck , Samsung protective cover and the Otterbox commuter. I prefer the Commuter overall. I have the White N2 with black Commuter and like the look. Btw I had a Defender and hated it. Way too much bulk for me.

I used to use the original Samsung protective cover, but a month ago I dropped my phone in the bathroom and cracked my screen. have to replace them for 120$. now I'm using Otterbox defender and it protects my phone from a few big drops, but the included screen protector is really bad. anyway if I have to purchase a case again, an Otterbox commuter would be really good in protecting your precious phone. it adds some bulk, but it feels really comfortable in the hand, and you don't have to feel worried about your phone anymore.

I have this case but I don't like the color that much
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I have the Commuter, the grip is very slippery so I just use the Aegis instead

Ibwould love to have the light gray rubber part with the black back. Think yhat woukd look great on thr titanium note 2

Would ypu be willing to trade rubber covers then? I also would like to have the black with white hard cover

My thoughts exactly
Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2!

I've used Qmadix for my older Droid line ups and liked them.
I was looking forward to getting one for my Note 2 but the styling was a 180 degree turn.
Having said that, the product did a good job protecting my Droid 3 so the build is most likely there for the product offered for the Note 2. I just don't like the look of them on this go around.

Thanks for the reply, I picked one up cheap. Should be here any day now. Good to know protection is there.

How much is "cheap"? They don't sell them on Amazon, only seems to be directly from the store for $35. Once you get it, can you please post the picture of the front/back and comment on how slippery back of the case is and if there any lip? Really hard to judge by looking at pictures on their website.

Sounds like a good deal, considering it's back to $29 at shopandroid. They also have a very short video of the case. Outer shell looks kind of shiny and front lip hardly noticeable; don't want to jump into any conclusion so let's just wait for your review.
... ps: one of the reviews does state case is very slippery and side grips are not good, as I suspected by looking at it

I tried and it's nice...

I got this one a while back when I got my note and its decent but I dont like the feel of the back. It either feels slick or sticky.

Looks nice! Hows your reception? Is that the grey bumper? Reason I ask is because it looks greenish on thier site. Did you get any type of discount of pay full price?

Reception for me hasn't changed, but then again I'm one of those guys that could care less if I lose a bar.
As for the color it's the grey one I got and its not green at all, I know what you mean by the pics though it does look a tad green but in reality it's extremely close to the titanium grey of the phone, just a bit darker and a matte finish.
Yea and no discount, I actually got it from their Canadian dealer here: www.mobii.ca since I'm in Canada it's just more convenient. roughly $110 cad shipped was the damage.

Looks pretty nice but indeed the cost is too high compared to what the unit itself costs. Plus I'm one of those that likes a soft rubber/pattern that provides really good grip and prevents having the phone slip from your hand (that's how my previous one cracked the glass).

Smexy. But not $90 worth of smexy, especially for a bumper. Heck that chinese iPhone look-a-like case costs less and it is a full case.

That looks awesome, covers!
Do you know how the quality compares to sweet armor? I like the look of both, but the sweet armor is on sale right now for $54.
Anyone out there have both of these bumpers?

thanks! tbh i think the quality ois realy top notch, a solid bumper for sure, other than that i cannot compare to the sweet armor as i dont have one.
one more thing i forgot to add was that it really doesnt add much bulk to the phone at all the sides of the case a really thin preserving the width of the phone. it does add to the height though which is no biggie

Are the buttons covered ?

yes the buttons are completely covered and have a nice feeling to it when pressed

is the lip on the back side enough to protect the lens when you place the phone on a table ?

Anybody have a decal on their phone? Looking to change my phone color.

Hey does anyone have a decal on their phone? I am looking for recommendations. So far I have found this one.

I have this one on my Note 2. It looks very nice. I chose it because the color is similar to the titanium of my Note 2.
