I kept mine, dude didnt say anything. I must say the silver pen in the coral/rose gold looks pretty solid.
I kept mine and the rest of the accessories.

I kept everything except the box and manual. Went from a black to blue Note 7.
kept all my accessories. but the rep wouldnt let me do a drop test on it..
I kept the S Pen, the Micro SD/SIM drawer and all accessories including battery charger and cable.
Ditto, I just turned in my onyx note 7 for another and kept all the accessories, spen, charger, headphones, box etc. All they wanted was the phone itself. (miami fl)

LOL .. I actually thought about keeping the sim tray, but didn't want to be too obvious.
When talking to tmobile today (via 611) I was told that all I have to turn in is the phone itself and the loaner phone itself. No accessories from either are needed and I can keep them all.
Darn it, didn't think about the SIM tray. Oh well, kept everything else!
Lol...after this nonsense you'd be a fool not to keep the pen and the accessories....i even claimed 2vr gears...lmai
Switched from black to blue and the T-Mobile guy went to the back and took a blue pen out of a returned unit so I had a back-up to match. Was really cool of him.
This was my plan, but when i went to the store they were sold out. Wait a damn hr before they said there sold out and have to order more phones.
So now im waiting till the new batch comes in. but i plan to take my spen out and keep it.
Dont care for the sim card tray tho.
Still pissed tht i know there not going to refund me for my skinomi screen protector.

Try talking to Skinomi, most companies are sending out replacements if you ask because of the recall. I'm doing that with my Slickwrap and Clear Coat. I only paid for shipping on my Clear Coat because I don't have a store near me.

Already order new ones.
The first i order from ebay and the second from skinonmi.
So even if they did send a replacement it would only be one and i need 2.
So when the recall happen i just order 2 from ebay $7 a piece
Ya'll lucky. I wanted to keep my S-Pen but the guy was like, "Do you have your old S-Pen or you want me to take out the new one?" I was all like, "Uh...I think it's in my car not sure. Let me go check" and I was screaming in rage in my car cause I wanted two pens lmao.
I think he was just salty that I made him switch over my contents (because that's what I was told over the phone when they called me that my replacement was in) using smart switch lol.
I kept my black pen and accessories and exchanged it for a blue note7. Mainly because it was the only color available at the time, I am happy with it though.
I kept absolutely everything, SIM tray included. I was pretty blatant about it, too - I popped out the old SIM tray and installed it in the new phone, then put the new SIM tray in the box. They didn't look twice; I think they expect people to return just the phone.
Neither store/exchange allowed me to keep the pen, but the box and all other accessories were fine. Just the phone with the pen.

Same here. Wouldn't Let me keep spen or sim tray, just box and accessories. They wouldn't even take my loaner s7 edges back so I had to go to another store to do that. I asked them if what their policy was and they said I could've kept the pen. Too bad they didn't have any phones in stock that day.
Switched finally last night... they took the S7e and exploding Note7 phone bodies only. I kept the spen and both boxes with all accessories. They could've used the sku on the S7e box to process the return, so that took a bit longer for them to look it up vs just hanging the box.

I found these today on eBay and bought 2 of them, one WHITE, one GREY. They are the CHEAPEST I can find online at the moment.
I decided to get the grey because I sound a grey note 2 today and it looked quite awesome. I got the white one so I can have one as a back up.

No worries....I bought them because they are CHEAP almost HALF price than other original battery covers....and other cheap ones don't have nfc.

Let us know how the covers fit when you get them! My original back cover is not snapping all the way in below volume rocker, if I press hard the back cover with the phone on the table I can get the clip hold for sometime, but even the slightest bump to the phone releases the snap from it's home.
The cover leaves a small gap in there which creaks a bit when I hold to phone from that position. I doubt that the operator store has spare ons lying around , but mayby I could try to have a flip-case for free for the semi defect back cover.

It says though that i shouldn't expect it until mid december. Once i get it though if i can remember ill post some pics.
edit: still waiting, eta is 0-19 days and tracking says it is in my state
new battery door finally came in. Material quality is almost exactly the same as stock. Writing on the back is missing the galaxy note II branding but that may be becuase i have the sprint version.
If your into using nfc then you may wanna go with oem. It appears to not have nfc antenna. The are some 3rd party battery doors that have it built in but they'll cost you a little more.

IF you use one of the 50% off Samsung codes, or register your device on Samsung.com and use the code they send you, you can order a replacement battery door from them for $9.99. Bought mine yesterday morning and had it here by noon today. I messed up the one that came with my phone trying to Mod it.

here i bought one with NFC
Just as it say its an OEM back cover with NFC
So i droped my nexus last night it bounced off my night stand on the way to the ground and when i picked it up it was off. figured wtf hitt the button.
nope it stayed off
press and held the buttons and tried to get it to reset ect. no go it was dead. connected it to the charger and tried again. got a back light but nothing else.
so did the non tech thing (smacked it a few times and pressed the power , came up flaky screen was kind of scrambled. great i trashed my nexus by droping it.
so called Google they made me do all the stuff i already did, no surprise its dead.
they told me to call asus for support. , went to asus site they wanted my sn to make a case, couldn't find find it i know i registered it. they told me i would need to send it in they would charge me 65 to issue a new serial number WTF! and then if the repair was not in warnty it would cost 165 to fix the nexus. 65+165 is more than a new nexus 16 (what i have). so i said thanks but no thanks.
so as i sat and stared at my paperweight i thought why not. i got a razor blade and a butter knife. used the razor to crack the edge of the case off and then popped the back off with the butter knife.
looked around and noticed those wonderful overworked china drones routed one of the wires for the battery round the backside of a plastic support pin. this made the wire very tight and it pulled the connector off the main board on one side of the battery connector creating a short. i pushed the wire on the right side of the support pin and reset the power connector and bam nexus back to life.
so if you dropped your nexus and it boot loops and or just wont turn on when off the charger. open it up and check the battery wires bet you got the same cross eyed Chinese tech and the battery unplugged itself
Thanks for the tip. I use a TPU case for my Nexus 7.

Drop it (multiple times), smack it around, then take a RAZOR BLADE to it?! Good lord.
No surprises here.... None at all....
Cool story bro. Glad you fixed it. I fix most of my stuff too. I'm a techy guy and probably more qualified then the drones that work at the factories.
Just like my wife's Samsung Netbook (back when netbooks were cool). She insisted taking it out by the bonfire where some friends and I were drinking. I told her countless times to take it in before a full glass of red Merlot gets dumped right in the keyboard. She runs inside and plugs it into the wall??!!!
I took it apart and cleaned it up but the keyboard was hosed. I called Samsung for a replacement keyboard but they wouldn't sell me one. I had to send it in. When it got there, I got a call about purple stuff in there and thus the warranty was voided. I said yeah no ****, I told you guys we dumped wine in there. She wanted to charge me $75 for the keyboard and $125 an hour. I laughed and said I only paid $220 for it, for $200 I'd rather buy a new one and see if the old one would Blend.
Bought the keyboard off eBay for $16 and she still uses it like 4 years later.

Nope. It just slips and falls over.
Have had the case now for over a day and I do have a few thoughts about it. Purchased at a Verizon store last Sat(none in my area had it in stock apparently) for $48 with tax and 3 day shipping to my home. Color was the grey which I thought went really well with my gunmetal model. Upon putting it on the phone I felt that the fit was spot on. The back snapped right into place and the front flip cover rests evenly on the screen. Functionality of the case is second to none. It works as advertised ranging from being able to see time and current weather conditions to making and answering calls.
Some of the other things that will light up are any incoming text messages and you can also dismiss any alarms that you have set to go off by simply following the gestures. A big question that I had when I bought the case was whether or not that the music playback would be hindered. I'm very happy to report that audio playback was just as clear and precise as if the cover wasn't over the front of the device. Another plus is when you open the cover the phone automatically unlocks and the screen shuts off when the cover goes back on. Thus greatly eliminating use of the top mounted power button.
I felt the choice of the materials for the case were not bad. The rear material certainly doesn't feel like a cheap plastic by any means, but it's nowhere near as nice as the phone's metal finish. The most comfortable way of using the phone for me was to hold the cover with my left hand and use my right to operate the phone itself. Now, I have rather large hands so this could obviously be different if you weren't blessed with such a thing. Folding the front of the case back over the rear proved to be uncomfortable to me. Another downside is the fact that the front cover cannot double as a kickstand when positioning the phone in landscape. When done so, the phone just falls flat on its back.
Overall, I definitely like the case. It has that wow factor to it as everyone I have showed it to have been amazed by it's functionality. The only things that HTC should improve on it is to have the front flap being able to fold back and stay flush on the rear of the device. I also would had like for the front flap to stay open when you open, but the trade off is that when it springs back into position it does a good job of staying over the screen, even in a loose pocket. I noticed no addition use of the screen during the day in Gsam battery monitor. If I were to give it a score out of 10 I'd place it at an 8. Only major cons would be price and certain aspects of holding the device depending on hand size.
I'd have to tip my hat to HTC for coming up with the concept. If anyone has anymore questions about it feel free to ask.

any chance you could post a couple of pics showing what the case looks like when open and folded back? All the photos i've seen of it don't show this. want to know how much it bulks the phone out.
cheers
Managed to pick the one and only one of these up from my local Phones4U in Croydon today, then went to the other local Phones4U and bough the other one, looks like they are finally starting to trickle in.
Figured out how to get the case to function as a kickstand. It's simple, but involves needing something else like a laptop or book as a prop. Simply open the cover and fold it over the back of the device. Then just rest the device on the laptop or book of your choice. Then, boom it stays put in place and with the way I got it, the angle is pretty nice for viewing.
Are they good? They're even advertised as "Genuine" for $7~8, but without the HTC logo at front / back.

Guess what bro, those aren't genuine either even if they say so. If you look at the pics you'll notice that some don't have the htc logo
I have the genuine gray, I bought it when I've got the phone, but I'm curious about the quality of the ones they're selling for $8, that's it.
To be honest they look exactly the same but I would like a closer look. Sellers in Amazon claim that they're identical to the genuine with the exception of the logo.

Don't use one of these cases for protection period. I can almost state with certainty that if you drop your phone on any kind of solid surface, it will definitely come flying out of these cases. In fact, if you clumsily open the case to fast the device will come flying out sometimes. That is in the original from Verizon. They offer some screen protection while in pockets or bags, but little to no drop protection & even in bags, the top & bottom of the device is not protected from scratches.
It was a little more than I remembered but it's 13$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/221503424128?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
The pictures are of mine.
Beyond that I agree with the post above mine, the dot view case is very functional as an accessory but as a protector it's useless it pops out so easily.

And I also agree with the two previous posts. I bout the official case back in June and two weeks ago, it fell on a carpeted space and the phone flew out of it as well as the corners that secure the phone popping off. Since I enjoyed the functionality of the case, I ordered the above since spending $40.00 for something HTC will not stand behind (I tried to get them to replace it but was told they would not) was not something I was willing to do again.
I will report back pnce I get it.
I had the fake one with logo and the real deal case I got from a Verizon store. Felt the fake with the logo was just as good. So went to return the real deal case at Verizon. Turns out I mistakenly packaged the fake one and returned that one to Verizon(honest mistake). I had no idea until later when I took my One out of my csndyshell case and popped it in the dot view....So while I didn't mean to do that, I ended up with the real deal case. But honestly the fake one closed better than the real one. That is how close they are.
I'm on the Dot View case fence. I really like the concept but the reviews I've read have kept me from picking one up. Does the flap "loosen up" for lack of a better term after using it over time. What I mean is when open and flipped to the back does it start loosing it's springness that people complain about. I like hearing that the generic's seem just as good as the one from htc. I may just have to pick one up at the lower price.
I had an authentic one, and then recently bought one of those non-authentic ones.
As a direct comparison, they both look the same, but the quality is different. particularly, the dots' translucent level is very uneven, so you'll get random brighter vs darker patches
on the authentic one, all dots have consistent translucency
OME or Knock-off, I wish that someone would come out with one that snaps on decently (even if it used double-sided tape) and maybe wrapped in leather. The plastic makes the phone feel so cheap! I had the original. I have since misplaced it since I got a cheap otterbox knock off for now. Does the job, but I do miss the DotView for the cool factor.

I have an OEM Dot View case and love it. I spent about $15 for it on Amazon. HTC also updated Dot View to add more functionality. And I was surprised yesterday by the Halloween animations. I'm very impressed by it and glad I got it.
SoI received my case today in the mail and here are my findings:
1. The case closes just as well as the OEM one I had.
2. The plastic case itself feels a bit thinner that the OEM one but I like that since I felt the OEM one was a bit too thick and added bulk to the phone.
The "Seams are not as smooth as the OEM but I am going to try and use a nail file and see if I can't fix that my self
4. The "Springiness" of the hinge that is in the OEM is not present in this case as it was in the OEM
5. The cover does not lay flat on the back of the case when opened all the way but I think that is just due to the design of the case.
6. The case seeme to snap onto the phone as well as the OEM case did.
To me, the $8.00 I spent on this case is totally worth it. As a matter of fact, I might order myself a second one to have different colors to chose from. If you think about it, for the price of one OEM you can get 6 of these in different colors and still have $2 and change left over!
I posted some pics of the case but it's hard to see any details.
Hope this helps you guys make a choice.

Bought the T-Mobile S6 yesterday and went looking for the keyboard case. The store did not have it.
I noticed all the best buy stores in my area did not have it. Amamzon shows 1-3 months shipping.
Yes I can order online, but I don't see the case available in the shop Samsung app at all.
Just made me think, with all the bad reviews, maybe they are going to release an updated version.
Could just be wishful thinking..lol.

Still available on Samsung UK.
I spoke to someone on their live chat the other day who said there are currently no plans to change it.

Ahh well... Wishful thinking..?
I haven't got mine yet, I held off at first because of the long shipping delays. But the other day it was about $50 usd off on Amazon and "only" 2 weeks to ship so it's on the way now. Design looks fine to me, I think I understand the limitations enough going in but I shall find out soon.
I did just receive my Keyboard case from Samsung.US. It was on back-order for 4 weeks.
I am using this now for 1 week and it sticks really well. No issue at all. I did not have to clean the back of my tablet or anything.
I also removed it several times and it did stick really well. Also after I but it back.
I have no issue at all and am very happy with it.
Maybe they did change something?
So the Amazon delivery estimate has been saying a few months, but it was at my door within a week of ordering, so I would recommend to go ahead and place the order.
As for the case sticking, I've had no problems either. The instructions also clearly state the back needs to be stuck on and left for an hour to adhere properly, so keep that in mind. Also I would clean the surface of tablet just incase before applying unless Its brand new like when I applied mine...
I wish there was a redesign. The body case seems to un-stick randomly and it provides not protection around the sides nor does it keep the screen's edges protected with a "lip".
Otherwise, if someone would make a case that would cover at least 3 sides of the tablet and leave just enough of the side with the keyboard pin connector exposed to attach the keyboard, that would be great. Either that or that side of the tablet is a flap that can be opened to attach the keyboard.
I purchased a $6 silicon case for every day use since I mostly just use the Tab S6 at home sitting in my recliner. But, I wanted the keyboard for those times that I didn't want to swipe everything.
However, the back piece of the keyboard case just doesn't impress me since it's not an easy auto-on/auto-off in any respect. So, I've been considering getting another silicon case that I can attach the keyboard case back cover to, then cut the silicon case just enough to allow the keyboard to attach.
So, what do you guys think? Will the keyboard case back cover's stickyness adhere to silicone better than the back of the tablet?

It looks like the silicon clear case works.

Samsung will never have the integrity to do a redesign for a product accessory, especially a device in their tablet lineup that they don't give two ****s about.
