Thinking about buying one of these. I like blue a lot. Blue blue! Was curious about fit? Anyone have one? Thoughts?

These are awesome. Buy it. That blue is gorgeous. I got the original titanium one. Lucky you found a us seller. These back covers will also be compatible with most if not all cases you already have since it is a teeny bit thicker than stock. Also you'll love the feel of it!
Right now eBay has many us sellers for these.

No, but you can just pull the card out of the original cover and place it in the new one.
NFC will not work with this back door what so ever. FYI

I look at them because I don't use NFC. Not enough people and business have it to make it relevant enough.

Have you tried? I understand the idea that it may not because it's metal obviously, but you really never know until you try

Hi,
The other question is how is the antenna on this cover samey, better, worse in regards to reception.

For me its basically the same. Amazing
I notice where I usually have 1 bar hspa that with the aluminum back it's 2-3 bars of Edge.. Mine came with the NFC but it doesn't work any way I try.
If you have plenty of service all the time, then I highly recommend it. I currently use a carbon fiber black leather door.
Just ordered. Waiting to get it mid week. Will report back with my finding. I have a galaxy note 2 on vzw.

NFC Chip on Ebay
I just got a new case back and am a little hesitant to pry up the old one.
This this makes my note 2 look very unique! Signal not effected at all! I have more grip now also. here are is a pic on the phone.

Bought both aluminum back and spare nfc chip
thought i chime in because i have a red aluminum back - it wouldn't work with the spare nfc chip i bought from ebay at all - at first i thought it was the chip but carefully place the chip on the phone without the back cover and using a piece of tape to test without the cover proved otherwise
so i then knew it was the alumnium backing - but idk about you guys i barely use the nfc feature
I just ordered this one a carbon fiber one from eBay and the seller says the NFC chip will work fine. I'll post once I receive and test it.

I have the black version and my NFC works like a charm..
I had a jean on with metal parts above the pockets, when i have received that cover. I installed it and the back got full of scratches in a few hours. The aluminum cover is so soft and ductile, that it wont stand a chance against the metal zips of your clothes. Also the signal gets reduced. Wifi signal changes about 20% and if the gsm signal is lost on a boat tour you can get two bars of signal if you remove the cover.

Hey, Is it possible to buy colored battery covers for the Nexus S?
A red one will look gooood on the back of my black phone
Thanks
I was looking for one a while ago, but I couldn't find one that had a NFC on it. The Near Field Communicator is attached to the back cover, so you will lose that functionality if you don't get a cover that has a NFC on it.

I honestly don't care about the NFC and I don't think I'll ever use it..
Can you tell me what exactly you searched to find it or if you know someone that sells it?
I wants non glossy black
Hate gloss just a fingerprint magnet and gets all sweaty in hand
I'm surprised no alternative covers
I've looked before bit no luck
Got a thin case but still would like cover
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
I think the Chinese have been reluctant to make too many due to the loss of NFC if you use a cheap door.
I would buy some spray paint designed for plastic (they sell it at auto part shops. I'd buy the primer too) and sand the cover door and apply a bunch of real thin coats of paint, sanding with real fine sandpaper between each coat, until it was as smooth as I wanted. You could buy flat paint or whatever so it wasn't as glossy too. Though fingerprints wouldn't be as noticeable on a lighter color or one not quite so reflective as black.
Just get one of those Gelaskins or Bodyguardz Carbon Fiber skins <- I just got this and it looks and feels awesome.
is there any Battery cover _without_ NFC?
I haven't seen any for sale aside from the standard black or white ones.
Spray paint and clear coat the stock one.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
the standard ones are fine for me, but i want one (or in this case two) without NFC because the radio signal is very poor on the Nexus S. But when you remove the back battery door it has one of the best signals i've ever seen on an smartphone

sure iv'e tested it with NFC off, not big difference to NFC on. Its because the NFC antenna in the Cover is very Big and shields the other frequencys to good.

Look it up on eBay! Its your best friend

i tried but i only find them with NFC or the price is so high that it isn't interesting any more
I bought 2 of these from this seller. They arrived quickly and do not contain NFC. I bought them to coat in plastidip (works well in 1-2 coats, 3 destroys it) - source (my six tries).

None, but if you're desperate you might look at tin watercolour paint boxes.

Will definitely mess with NFC, also what about WiFi? May weaken the signals no?
I don't think so, many other types of phone and tablet have metal cases and seem to work fine.

Depends. A lot of phones that have metal cases have signal problems. Really depends on metal thickness, antenna power, and antenna position.
Really curious about this one. Anyone got it yet?
He guys, I found another leather flip case that seems really nice. I like the colors but wish there was a blue similar to the Asus Nexus 7 cases.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Ultra-S...702452?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c690824f4
The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLwx4kSB7Pw
I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.
I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.
Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.
Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!

The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.
I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.
Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?
I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.
FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details

I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?
I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices
I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.

Near the bottom of that (mobile browser) there is a link to contact the seller "IDS Online Shop"
Seems like a good place to start.
I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, given that I believe the dimensions of the VZW Gn2 are the same.
I've thought about this too, the problem is the pins are raised so they make contact with the battery cover, there's already like 3 threads about this

You can use a thin rolled strip of copper tape to overcome the fact that the pins aren't raised on the VZW version. The thread on wireless charging mod shows how to do this.

Same here! I dropped my SGN2 and the silver bezel look awful. Ive been trying to hide it using covers but I would really like to replace it. Ive contacted many suppliers in my country, the only solution was to replace the bezel and the screen all together. That would cost me around 300 $s. Any other solutions?
Any luck OP? I want wireless charging in my Note 2 :fingers-crossed:

The black one seems to have no NFC tag or some antenna while the white one has. Anyone knows? I want to make my LG G2 look like a Nexus device!

As long as you get the back cover for your model, there shouldn't be a problem.
I had that exact same thinking as yours but just can't find a cheap OEM back cover. If you do, do let me know!
Cheapest I had found was $29 for a replacement back cover. I'll probably end up doing the white back too. Always liked that look
