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?

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...

They have it at T-Mobile stores. Bought it and returned it a week later. The elastic strap that holds the front closed stretched out really quick and after that the front cover didn't align correctly causing it to look pretty crappy.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Looks like cheap material but really like the idea, this is what the smart case should have been (like in that MOD thread where they take the flip cover and add a TPU to it); esp like the stand feature
Stupid case, bad execution.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
terrible case - the cover is connected with a floppy piece of elastic fabric, the elastic band to hold the cover is stiff and overall it feels like it triples the thickness of the phone rather than doublet it... pass..
purchased this at t-mobile, returned it. The strap was the deal breaker for me.
Cant you just cut the strap off?

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. Some people complain about the kickstand but i like it. Heres a thread i started with some pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014892

Only one way to find out
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.

I was wanting to try out an alternate backplate with more of a textured feel to it, but all the ones I've found don't have an NFC antenna. Has anyone managed to find one that does?
There are some on eBay... many of them are the flip cover style ones but the are some that just have the back plate with NFC available.

In another thread, someone posted applying this plastic spray on type paint to a case to give it a more textured rubbery feel. I imagine one can apply the same material to the back of the standard case. With this you will have more of a matte gray finish. If you are unhappy with the results it can be peeled off thus restored to original condition.

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.

I just got that Case Today and l got to say this one is great. I got the dark blue one but there's a selection of colors. It also has this silver cover for the head of the stylus, and integrated buttons which line up perfectly with the actual buttons on the phone. Love it !

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.
