Ebay:Flip Metal Back Cover - Galaxy Note II Accessories

This is just a review of the ebay metal flip back replacement for the Note II.
Impression:
1. Solid build with a very nice brushed metal finish. Definitely gave the phone a higher quality feel over the plastic back.
2. Has built in NFC, but I haven't tested it's functionality.
3. Adds 40g of weight.
4. In my room, with the OEM back my signal averaged -70dBm, with this case my signal averaged -73dBm.
5. Does fit inside generic neoprene case, also from ebay.

Ditto

Please confirm if NFC works. I want to buy one ASAP. Thanks!

I gotta say, this definitely looks to be one of the nicer flip cases I've seen so far. If the NFC works as well as the stock cover, I may have to pick one up, too.

Really weird that it has a built in nfc because nfc on my silver metal back cover does NOT work. Somehow the metal coating must interfere with the signal.

(it is metal model can't support NFC)

See on ebay seller page :/

Confirmation: I have tested NFC and it does not work.

I just ordered mine, full black. Hope to get it before Christmas !

The illustrations show that there is absolutely no nfc antenna in the interior shell of the case. Detach your oem Battery door and look at the antenna. The sellers are showing you the entire case from front to back. Buy at your own discretion.

It's a small magnet which I have found so far after 2 weeks of use it doesn't interfere with spen functions, perhaps I don't spen enough but 4.5/5 from 70 reviews can't go wrong for the price. If you feel iffy on the magnet you can go into those Amazon reviews then keyword search box just for this product reviews: magnet

Tripod phone holder

Hi I am looking at getting a tripod holder for my phone to take pictures has anyone tried or has one of these. I have looked on amazon but none of the generic ones state that they would fit the note two.

Great news mate hope you get some good results.
Are you testing a gorilla pod style tripod?
why not just use something like this?

I got this when I got my monopod; very useful when going to muesums and so forth where tripods are not allowed. It will hold the GN2.
Otherwise, I would just get some kind of car dock you like, and just add the screw bracket; superglue can do wonders.
This product looks really good for our Note 2!

I have this. Don't get it. It fits, but it is such a tight fit that it is unpleasant to use. You have to either not use a case, or scrape out the rubber pads.

I just ordered one. I'll report back here once it comes in.
Combining with a Gorillapod for double duty as carmount and camera tripod.
The iStabilizer is fantastic.
Plenty of room for a larger phone when you pull it open, but it still grips the Note II firmly with soft rubber pads. I am not an expert, but it feels very well constructed.
In conjunction with my Gorillapod, it makes a perfect mobile car mount gripping the PT Cruiser's oh **** bar on the passenger dash.
Served up by the TMo Note 2

I 'made' a smart cover today. Pics inside.

I could NOT find a case that I liked. I tried the official, but wasn't fond of its inability to stand up on its own, nor its inability to keep the front flap closed. I know I wanted smart cover functionality, but they all seemed more bulky than I wanted. I didn't even necessarily want a CASE, just a cover/stand like the iPad smart cover.
So I did this. Started with one of these for $13:
http://microcenter.com/product/403316/Folio_Tablet_Case_for_Google_Nexus_7_Black
I carefully took a putty knife and removed the cover part from the plastic case part and used a double sided adhesive square that I cut to the approximate size and stuck it directly on the back of the N7. Its entirely removable with a little heat and some patience, and does exactly what I want lightweight, cheap, and about 15 minutes of time. The buttons and ports are all full exposed and if folded back, it still fits into an OEM dock. I don't have one but I tried it on a buddy's at work. Yes, I know I need to clean my screen.

Sorry! Fixed!
Neat. Glad it worked out. I was thinking of putting something together myself like this but I am not sure what magnet to use.
Which one did you end up using and where did you get it from?
Its built into the cover I linked to. The cover is double sided taped to a hard plastic shell from which I removed it.

Good idea man. I'm thinking I might try this with a TPU case instead of directly onto the tablet.

I'm thinking of doing this with a good quality hardshell case. Any suggestions on a good hardshell to use?

How well it's made, do you have other hard cases you could compare it to?

I got one of these, or one that looks exactly the same yesterday too. Was £2 delivered on ebay, but was already from a uk based company so delivery was rapid.

Once I can get hold of another phone to take the pic with I can ha ha. The fit is good now that I have it on fully. It needed a fair bit of force on the top right half though to finally get it in under the lip. I think the lip is slightly smaller on that side on mine.
But, now it is on, for £2, delivered (it even arrived next day), I can't complain for now! Am still gonna get a spigen slim armor though, long term.

Puregear jelly black licorice case

I ordered this, it came today. The case is pretty nice. It has a slim profile, tpu backing with rigid sides. I'll have pics up in the morning if anybody is interested. 18.99 on ebay

so here are pictures of the case, sorry im a little late with getting these up. The case is a rigid TPU style case, clear on the back with back accents on the sides. It is a tight fit with the phone, but once in its very secure. The case doesnt wrap around the curvature of the phone all the way, so it looks like there will be no issue with a tempered glass screen protector. All the ports have access, including the IR port for the TV app. There is no lensing issues with the camera, or flash reflection, which is nice. The only real downside to this case is getting used to how far you need to press your finger to use the power switch, but im over that. there is also the slightest of gaps in the top of the case by the power button, but its a non-issue for me. Overall im happy with the case.

Thanks for the pictures, the case looks great! Does it add a lot of bulk or weight to the phone?

its a little thicker, but if i dont have something solid, ill do some foolish thing, all in ll its not bad
I had that case and sent it back for refund. It's a great case but I like a little more edge lip than this had. It's very low profile with excellent grip. I am opting between the clear UAG case or the supcase that I'm still waiting on to be delivered.
