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

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 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 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

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

I've been searching around since I got my Note 2, and I can't find very many cases with raised buttons. So far the only thing that's caught my eye has been the official Samsung case. Are there any other suggestions? I don't want something massive like an Otterbox, just something grippy with raised buttons
I ordered this one a day before i got my note (first thing on launch day) and received the case 2 days later.
It has no bulk at all, it has grippy sides and a nice clear back so u can see that dreaded verizon logo .
Overall nice case, I have two more on the way and should be here today.
But I think this one will be my primary.

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

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.

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.
