So I am having trouble finding replacement housing for my VZW Note 2. I have looked up and down, across every forum I could think of, and online on every retailer I could find and nothing has turned up. I have cracked the rim on my Note and would like to replace it. The problem is, I can't find replacements anywhere. I can find plenty of the white housings, but not the grey. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Go search ebay for "Note 2 oem frame" they are about 20 bux

you will need to buy either a housing replacement for the Verizon or Sprint build...

Sprint one isn't work with verizon... Ad it does not have a sim card slot cut out.
Each version has a specific housing. You MUST purchase a Verizon one. Otherwise you could lose cell reception or damage the internals of the phone in some way. There are tiny little contact points for the radio antennas that are on the back frame. Each version has a different location for these antenna.

Just look for a 50% off coupon in one of these threads and go to the Samsung website and you will be done. It's not that complicated.

I need more than the battery door...I need the whole housing. Unless I missed the item on their site, I doubt it's going to be under the accessory section.

Have not seen this anywhere so far, does anyone have any more details (price or pictures). I have only seen it listed in the Samsung website at:
http://www.samsung.com/ae/microsite/galaxynote/note2/en/spec.html?type=find
See the section Optional Contents. Looks to be a non-flip open face protective cover I think.
I have this cover, I got it on preorder. Now I do not have access to a good camera to take pictures of the phone in case, but I can make some photos with old Nokia I recommend this case, it is very cool, fit perfect. This case cost about 15£/20€
Can you please give us the link Where you bought it.I cant find it anywhere

From Samsung's website it appears to be a hard plastic back with a soft (silicone) border.

Just ordered mine from the Samsung website. Used the coupon code and got 50% off. Came to $20 including shipping. So excited. Just what I was looking for. Keep the look of the phone, but protect from drops (silicone around the edge). Bonus, it covers up some of the ugly Verizon labeling. Now just to fix that home screen button!

Why don't they charge $6 more and put the NFC antenna on these things? The batteries are great, but without NFC, going forward are going to lose my business.
Does anyone know where to buy these apart from Amazon (for non US buyers)

Mine came with a piece of crap NFC that didn't even work. I ended up using the one from the stock case and scotch taped it to the phone. Lol works just like the OEM backplate now. It only looks bad when you show off the battery.
Funny enough I've had four different backplates and the only two that worked were the OEM ones.

Has anyone seen a flip cover type case for these 6200+ mah batteries?

The one I got from Amazon had NFC on it. The site didn't mention it but it didn't work anyway. lol
Yea I had to take the NFC off my original back door and connect it to the Anker back door.
Works now lol.

How about this?
It sticks to any case very well and can store 3-4 cards.
Search for Sinjimoru, you can find them on eBay, Amazon... (sorry, I can't post links because I don't post enough on here)
there was another thread about this too. Really aren't many options like there are for the iPhone.
I'm assuming you want something like this:

that has a slot in the back. I've been looking for one for awhile to no avail.

there is one by skinplayer, a korean brand.

look for igloo
This is the one I went with...
Aside from great looking (Nubuck) its the most functional I've seen.
You have a window for your ID, and you can close the card area with a snap so you can use your phone without your cards exposed.
And it has three pockets for bills and misc.
It's on eBay for around $40 shipped.
Does anyone have a link for replacement housing for the VZW Note 2? My housing creaks on the side and back and I would like to replace it.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Subscribed. I would be interested in this as well.
Won't any note 2 housing work? Be careful when taking it apart. I would just buy the back cover first and see if it fixes the creaking before taking it apart.
Sent from my SCH-I605
I have removed the battery cover and it still creaks. I thought there was a difference between the housings but I could be mistaken.

The battery cover is part of the whole thing. Removing it won't make a difference. If you keep it in its more rigid and less likely to creak.

I would go with an att housing so you can take advantage of wireless charging.
iirc that housing has the cut outs for that feature whereas the vzw housing does not.
as for doing the swap, explore YT on how to vids.
Be careful when ordering your new housing. As this guy found out the hard way they are different depending on carrier.

I just got a flip cover case from Poetic Cases. It does not have the "quick view" window, but also doesn't cost 50 bucks (only 16). There are photos of it in the accessories section.
It does trip the quick view sensor so you don't have to use the knock on.
