Glad you like it lol I think the gun metal one is the best colour overall. Shame about the nfc but at least it's transferable

I wanted to get one of these along with a metal bumper, but I feel like I'd have as much reception as I did in 1995 with that setup.
Looks awesome though.
my bros has one of these for the S3 but he said his GPS signal wont lock when he has it on, is the same true for GN2?

It defiantly degrades the signal but it does still work

Had one of these on my S3 and just bought one for my GN2. Anxiously awaiting their honeycomb case to follow soon.

I have one for the S3 and I LOVE IT!! Best $20 bucks I ever spent on a phone battery. My worry with this one though is no mention of NFC on it. The Note 2 has NFC on the case again not on the battery like the S3. If this has NFC then you will officially have a phone that lasts longer than a Tablet

No NFC, no thanks.
I bought one of these (can't post links, but do a search on ebay for note 2 7600 and you'll find it). Decided if I was going to extend the battery I might as well do it properly, and a 7600MA battery is about as big as I could find! Figured if it was crap I'd only wasted £15! Turns out it's rather good. It does add a bit of depth to the phone (about 10mm), but for me at least it actually makes it more comfortable in my hand. And it has the added bonus of keeping the camera lens away from whatever surface the phone is on. Can't comment on whether the nfc works or not I'm afraid as it's not something I use.

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand.

Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks
my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons
Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...
Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

The OP should put an apple sticker on the back and tell all the apple-fans that it is the new iPhone 6. Then say, "But please don't tell anyone else. I only told you, 'cause I trust and like you."
I do want the blue one in a bad way but I don't think NFC will work through this.
Can't see buying a case where I am more nervous about scratching the case than the phone.

Looking to pick up a metal bumper but I don't want the kind that slide together. I purchased one of those from Ebay a few months ago and I wasn't very happy with it. Looking for something that is a little better quality. The Sweet Armor looked good but it is no longer available in black. Any suggestions?
The draco looks nice, but I can't find any one who has one with our phone for an opinion

Im just worried about recption problems with metal or aluminum bumpers. Had real bad experience with some when I was still on my iphone 5 and it wasnt those cheap bumpers too.

first vid i found of it. the red one looks sick..but like all metal bumpers including this one - you will suffer one bar loss if not more depending on your signal strength in your area.

Yes it does, I just wish it wasn't $90.00.
I have a Thunder Gray Draco sitting in my mailbox. I'll get pics and do a review when I get home. When I had a Sweet Armor case on my S3 there was no signal loss. The Draco for some reason did drop one bar. Call quality and data connection wise, I didn't notice a difference. I'll check it and see what happens tonight.
iPhone 5 has their antennas all along the aluminum sides. When you put a aluminum bumper on top of that, you're doubling the interference.
Samsung phones are some type of polymer / plastic. Not as much interference. That's why Draco has cases that are half aluminum and half plastic for the iPhone. If there were really issues with reception interference, they would have switch the S3 cases to half and half as well.
Have you seen this one?

I think the issue I had with it is that there is a cutout for the antenna that the Asian version of the phone has. If it didn't have that cutout, I would've gotten it.

Has anyone purchased the Zomgo ultra thin metal case and have any opinions on it?
It looks like the hunter f case but it seems like it's thinner and has more rounded edges.

Do you notice any decrease in signal when using it. From experience with the iPhone and reviews I've read on other metal cases, I've heard they tend to lower the signal strength because of interference with the antenna. Only reason why I haven't picked one up myself.

I wouldn't use anything metal now that I have my bumper it definitely degraded my signal quality and I have many more dead spots that I didn't have before. Sending my phone into no service and killing my battery super fast.
Also, can u install the nfc antenna on this case or it wldnt work?

None so far. In fact I was having that crackling noise issue on my headphones, andso far, it seems to be blocking the rf interference.
Scratch that, I still get interference. But still other than that, no connectivity issues. Still get full bars outside and at least half indoors. And full wifi too.
