Anyone? Aluminum Alloy Blade Metal Frame Bumper Case

Anyone used this bumper?
The back cover is easily replaceable so I don't mind showing off the titanium texture on Note 2. A bumper fits this need. So anyone used this? It shows 20 sold, so hopefully at least someone is browsing xda.
Share your opinions :]
BTW, there's different codes of N7100 and the prices are different, e.g., BK, PK, TP, etc. What does that mean?
EDIT: UH.. nvm, seem to be color codes. BUT, same model, different prices ($20+ vs $10)????
EDIT: UH... nvm again, one is free shipping, one is $10 shipping. :facepalm:
EDIT: AND one is bid while the other is BIN. :double-facepalm:
WARNING: Based on further reading, this design is not acceptable. It scratches screen when installing/uninstalling, and possibly affects reception!!

I've also come across these
You can see that my main idea is to cover the sides, because I believe that it is still chrome like on the Note2 (mine hasn't arrived yet), and shows scratch more easily.
===========================================================================================================================================
Or do you guys think Galaxy Note™ II Protective Cover + from Samsung just looks better?

Only thing I'd be worried about is it interfering with the reception
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss

Ye, that's also my major concern. So I wanted to see if anyone tried it on xda. It comes from Hong Kong, so I really don't wanna waste time just to find it interferes with the reception :/

From this thread, looks like (hopefully) it won't interfere.

It wouldn't suppress the signal since The Note isn't like the iPhone 4/4S where the antenna is on the sides. Our Antenna is on the bottom portion of our phone so this case does not interfere with signal.

a buddy of mine has one on his s3 and has no problems. I am going to pass this link to him because when he asked if they were available for the note 2 they said no.. but that was a few weeks ago.

Just fyi guys, i updated in my OP that these bumpers will possibly scratch the screen when sliding in/out as well as interfering with signal strengths as i read in the other thread.
Try to avoid it or try to bear the risk.
There are plastic/soft bumper emerging on eBay. Search for them.

I've had a black aluminium bumper on the titanium gray note 2 for a week, it looks badass especially with the notification led in red ahah. But it does add some bulk and removes the softness of the original design when you hold it ot shove it in your pocket, Guess that bugged me just because I used the note protection free for 2 weeks :/
No signal problem whatsoever.
Little video there, mine is the second one to prove another guy the case didn't intefere: http://www.galaxynote.fr/bumper-aluminium-t8200.html#p90815
I've ordered a second one from a different brand (with replacement buttons like in the original poster picture here instead of grip notches on the sides) in titanium gray color too I'll post a full good quality video of the case if I have some time.

Alternative Bumper
I like this one because looks like thinner on front, shows side buttons and it's nice to hold to don't falls.
Where in Chinese sites can I found?

wooww..

I had the same one as in OP (aluminum frame) from eBay awhile ago, and it didn't fit the phone

Looks like a Triobump Clone.
The aluminum won't scratch the screen.

Verizon Logo Sticker cover

If anyone is interested in hiding the verizon logo on their note 2 Here is a vinyl sticker to cover the logo. It is made by me and I used a pantone bookelet to match as close as possible the titanium grey color. As soon as I get my note 2 in I will be making a video describing exactly how to apply the decal. We include about 5/6 decals per purchase even though the ad says 3.
Here is a picture of the finished grey decals

What about for the white note? I think it would also be neat to see some different flavors of colors, with different textures. I wouldn't mind a carbon fiber textured white button.

We are still getting the white made. If there was enough interest we could look into a carbon fiber button. The problem is we are just a small company and do not have every type of vinyl. Just a roll of carbon fiber vinyl would probably cost $90-100

you guys can get small samples of vinyl for $2 plus $2 shipping (4" x 8")...and you can probably make 50 home button stickers out of it.
i used the 3M 1080 series for my battery cover and it works well.

Anyone here care to post some feedback? We are shipping these as fast as we can. The post office apparently had some problems as some orders were delivered while some were still sorting at the usps near us. We shipped about 60 decals on the 30th. We would love to hear some feedback on our product.

Send me one! Ill write up a review

I picked up the white ones and got them Friday... After being applied it looks pretty much like stock.. Would show pictures but that seems stupid as there is nothing to show that you can't see on the web already (just look at an image of a non VZW Note 2 and you have your pic)..
My coworker / office mate has the At&t note 2 (white as well) so I had a good reference to compare it to. This sticker is ever so slightly more white than stock and has a slight bit on extra shine (neither of these would even show up in a pic).. Other than that they look exactly the same.. The feel initially was a little tacky but as the oils from my finger got into the vinyl and that went away and now feels normal as well.
Applying the sticker was at first tricky as I simply tried to remove one and then attempted to line it up with my fat @$$ thumb.. lol that didn't work so well, but on the next try I found a trick and was able to align it perfectly... Let me explain... The stickers come with transparent film over the top and the standard white sticker film on the bottom... The stickers actually stick to the transparent film better than the white and I believe this was on purpose (and most likely the cause of the initial tacky feel to it).. With this I was able to lift the stickers from the white film leaving them stuck to the transparent one like this then it was trivial to align the sticker to the button and simply press down on it to get it to stick. FYI Make sure the phone was is, as you don't was the screen coming on and distracting you.

Still waiting on mine, ordered Nov 29 and tracking has gone from shipped to delayed or something, then shipped with a delivery date of the 8th which I just saw today. Obviously it's past the 8th, so idk where they are.
tappin from the note ll

aluminum stickers
There are aluminum stickers by spigen available too!

Does anyone know of any video reviews for the stickers?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium

I bought some for my Titanium grey from the eBay auction, and I was disappointed in the difference in color. The vinyl looks almost purple. It could be a bad batch mine came from.
Might try something different or go OEM verizon ftl

An update on those waiting for them to arrive still. We have had some problems with the post office not liking the way that we shipped them. a handful have been returned to us and we will reship them to you. Not very happy with usps currently...

My review on the Crystal skin glosst side TPU case

I shared a couple of photos on the thread "sharing your Note 2 with case" and received a couple of questions from fellow folks here either through pm or quote.
I thought I would rather open a separate thread to review it
1. How is the buttons responsiveness?
It is awesome in my case. I think it is well cut case
2. How fast was the shipping?
I got it in 4 days and the seller marked shipping 20 minutes after i paid with tracking number. ..no kidding. ..
3 responsive seller. I am surprised this case is not a branded case yet. ..Maybe that's why it is cheaper than most other high quality cases
What I like most
No need to open battery door each time put it on or off
Transparent back so the design is not impacted much
Glossy side
Not adding much weight or thickness
I bought it here. ... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...&nid=47951986156&trxId=Color:Mysterious+Black
And how it looks like

Lol. I read the dude's post about defender case in another thread. For what it is worth or call me bored in this sunday evening, I weighed this case.. .
Yes, it is barely 2oz while the defender is about 10oz according to his post if I read correctly?
I still like Samsung's industrial design after all. Not want to wrap it up in some thick plastic to make a brick
Sent from Verizon Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk 2

Careful with flash photos with it. They will affect the picture. Reflections of the case will cause blurriness and haze in your photos.
1 fix is too use a black marker or Sharpie pen to try and make a black into ring in the hole cut out for the flash. I have tried this with success.

I ordered an ebay case that I actually like and is very similar to yours. Except the camera/flash whole is one whole cut out instead of separate. I don't notice any issues with the camera.
I had this type of case on my S2 and I love it on my Note 2 as well.

Looks good, just put an order in for em

Damn I should have ordered this instead of the one I did. Looks great and for that price.
Edit:anyonr else get other colors? Im thinking about getting two.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

My case arrived yesterday.
I love it . the cutting is exact and the material is not giving you cheap feeling. I like the semi-opaque back with matte feeling. The whole thing did not kill Samsung's design and I for sure like the minimal impact to the whole phone's look and feel.
The charging port has a bit rough cut inside the case. you will not see it from outside at all so it does not bother me.
All in all, i don't call this a review but a very positive feedback. For the price, it is worth it completely.
Oh, seller shipped the same day and it comes with tracking too.
To the question upstairs, i bought it from this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130827420672&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I ordered one a couple of days ago, and it arrived at my PO Box today and he confirmed shipping same day and it was on its way. Looking forward to getting this case.

That is a nice looking case

Both the black and white one arrived and yes, i took the plunge to try the white one , anyway it is just 6 bucks.
the white one is actually better than I expected! put it on it goes smoother with the note 2, granted mine note 2 is white color..
it is light and slim case that have semi-transparent back. like it a lot. Hope it covers the front tho but i guess for this price it is good. it is not a flip case anyway.
recommend!!

Gold AT&T Galaxy S5???

Walked into an AT&T store today, and BOOM, there were three backings for a Galaxy s5, Black, White, and Gold. I asked and they said it was released today. Thoughts? Opinions? I have a white one, and I really would like a Gold battery cover for my phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I bought green, red, blue, pink brushed metal from eBay. So far green arrived ... only disappointment is the case around the edge is thicker. With the clear rubber spectec or whatever case I have this means the phone doesn't sit inside the case protected but more flush now which I'm not a fan of since I have a history of dropping my phone. Long story short check the case if this is an issue for you.

I'll probably get that blue backing eventually, looks nice and apparently had the same rubber feel of the black s5. Unlike the white model.

Note 5 equivalent of Peel cover for iphone?

Hi Guys,
Recently jumped ships from iphone to Note 5. I've always used the Peel skin (http://buypeel.com/) and like the minimal super thin form. Does anyone know the equivalent cover for Note 5?
Thanks

EBay 3mm case Note 5. I can't believe they charge $25 for that and people buy it.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221904280960
Expensive as seoulbrova mentioned, only 2 colors available atm.

Or this:

Arrrggghhh ... No shipping to the US ! If someone can provide a US shipping pocket friendly option, please do. Much appreciated. I have been looking for a similar peel-like solution coming from the iphone 6 plus.

Just be mindful this case have a perfect cut for the charger port in the shape of a microUSB, so the charging cable might not get pushed all the way in and make enough contact to connect, I had to use xacto knife and cut the opening a bit wider to accommodate the plug. This has always been the case for this type of case, I had to do the same for when I had Note 3 as well, it's cheap enough to play around with =]

@Crushader Just received this, its awesome. Thank you again. Exactly what I was looking for. Your 'play around' suggestion inspired me to remove the complete lower portion with just kitchen scissors to mimic / feel like the super thin iphone 6 plus case I has earlier. It feels pretty good in hand and I can not believe how cheap it is.

@tunx good to hear!!
