Bad news on the home button front - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Well for those looking or hoping to erase the vzw stamp off the home button I bring bad new.
It's not a stamp. The logo is actually cut out of the white part of the button on the white GN2 and ill guess it's the same in the titanium color as well.

That sucks. Pics? Is it more or less noticeable than it was before?

I wonder who will be first to offer a sticker insert of some kind

There are already a lot of home button stickers for the Note 2 on eBay and other sites.

This has been covered many of times in other threads. We've known of this for weeks. As stated above, ebay sellers have been selling home button stickers for some time now to cover this up. One is even selling a thin vinyl cutout that will make it look like an OEM button, very thin.
Thanks for info none the less.

Actually, as far I as I knew, it was just stamped on, not etched on. Even for a carrier, this is unethical. it's like Toyota etching/painting their logo into Camry headlights, so every time you turn them on at night, the logo shows through the light.

I am actually the seller of those decals. The grey is a very close match to the phone. We used a cymk pantone to match as close as we could. And actually if you look you will notice on stock phones the button is a slightly different color than the rest of the phone.

Yea by the time we wanted to add the buy 1 free get 2 in the description we had already sold one. On ebay you cant edit the listing title after a sale. We will be including about 5 or 6 decals per purchase. And we are trying to get some of the grey orders out today, we have already printed labels and the grey are finished. We still have to get the whites finished but they should still ship by the 30th. (didnt have a phone to match off of until recently).

You rock. I see it just says shipping info sent. I will look for them Thanks!

I have one and it's excellent. Well mine is branded by Momax, but it's exactly the same. It's back is solid and it's side cling on tight to the phone, inlike the SGP version. It's not that thin though, but not too thick. For a balance of thinness and protection, it's a great combination.

Unfortunately, you're hocking those products so much with reckless abandon that it's already leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Sucks, too, because some of those products I would be interested in but due to the unslaught of Kevikev linking, I wouldn't even consider it.

I actually msg him and he said his not the owner of the site. I wanted a discount since I was buying a few things but he said there's nothing he can do since it's not his company, so I went and buy my accessories at amazon.
Got mine from Kevikev.com
Ordered Sunday and not it today at work! Quick shipping. Came with a screen protector for the international version.

Wow. Then I guess he needs to go shopping at more places. Just sayin'.
Bought one from Keivkev from their ebay store since it was about a buck cheaper with the free shipping. Arrived in 2 days. Interesting how its fine to mention Amazon and best buy in this thread but not a smaller seller. I guess if Jeff Bezos came in here and posted a link to a product on amazon he'd be rediculed as well....
Anyway. Good case. Fits snug. Pressing the buttons isn't as easy as doing it without a case but I guess that's to be expected. Actually maybe it'll be a benefit since I accidentally hit the volume buttons when I'm typing or doing something in lansldscape.
The included screen protector was a suprise as I didn't read the full description. Its made for the international version so it has an opening for its button. I may use it until I get one made specifically for the US model. Overall, worth the 14 bux or so.
Just ordered this case on eBay from kevikev a couple days ago! Can't wait..

Tech21 Case?

I'm a sucker for new tech and the video of Tech21's "non newtonian" D3O substance was like tech porn. I was wondering if anyone has any insights on Tech21? especially for the Gnote3 since that is the case I'll be buying it for once they actually start selling it. I'm not 100% sure if the GN3 model is being sold yet so I'd settle for any review of their products.
Other than the relatively high price the only other complaint I've seen of their cases was the hard buttons. The GN3 case looks like the buttons are cut out (tho it's hard to tell with their low res pics). Any other complaints? Praise?
Thanks
Agreed best case in terms of protection and size, i have one for my s4 and love it. I noticed they have it listed on their site but i cant seem to find it for purchase.

Their case is fine, but their customer service is very bad. I bought one for their iPhone 5 Case, it has scratch right after I opened the box. I call their customer service to try to exchange it, they refuse to do so.
My local t-mobile store in Folsom, CA has tech21 cases for the gnote3. I would imagine other tmo stores have them too.

Awesome. I'm an ATT customer, I would have never checked a T-Mobile store.
Looks like a pretty nice case, might have keep an eye out for it! Thanks for the share.
RoloRacer on Note3 N900A
My tmobile had 2 different tech21 cases. One black and one blue
Tmobile is non exist any where I am in Nebraska. I want the clear one in my life so bad. I can't find a retailer or even find the case in two's page.
Yea T-Mobile is now big on Tech 21 cases, they have a few color choices at every store I've been in. I actually bought one on the first day with the phone and only returned it because I had ordered 3 others online for half its price in total. Still it was cool when the manager of the store demonstrated this impact case by throwing the Note 3 half way across the store to demonstrate why it costs 40 dollars.
I picked one up when I bought my Note 3 until I found a proper case. I used one like this on my Amaze, and after 2 years it was almost flawless. It definitely protects well and I'm even totally confident to leave it laying around the kids. Its like a tank. I will be replacing it with the Neo Hybrid (if it ever arrives) because I want something that will show off the sharp sides of the Note 3. If these guys made something like that they would be my number one for protection.

Sprint is selling Tech21 as well.
Awesome. Thanks. I'll have to check em out after my rotation tomorrow.
Now many T-Mobile corp stores in NYC are selling several varieties of Tech21 cases.
Original smoky grey (the one I have).
Smoky blue
Clear pink
Black "book" style
My choice was pretty limited when I bought N3 two weeks ago, but it turns out this is so far the best I chose.
I am not that big on "remove twice, install twice" in Incipio.
I am not interested the one with "window".
I just want Body Glove Diamond type which I used with Note 2.

That's the other thing I'm not too thrilled about. The buttons need some force to engage, sometimes more than one try.

LOL this tread made a stink on Slickdeals.net people were making claims of ATT backording or cancelling peoples orders before they acually did it. THEN found ATT had a huge surplus, and made money off this sale.
I am gonna keep one... matches my room color scheme, going to put my current one in car or down at my parent's store for use. Selling the other two on ebay or in my shop.
I ordered one and they cancelled my order after 3 days of processing.

Black Backs on ebay?

Has anyone seen/tried these yet? Personally I'd prefer a black back as the blue Antenna doesn't really match the black/dark blue device.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...Domain_0&var=430687818320&hash=item1e95c88563
EDIT: Well for $10 I decided to try it. It will be here by the 24th.
is there a how to remove the back panel yet ? a quick search didnt give me any results

Check or search nexus 6 tear down or so. Lazy to link things tonight
ifixit did it in their tear down.
Ahhh teardown search was key.. Thanks guys
So I'd say it's safe to assume that eventually there's going to be a black model?
This looks interesting! I'd love to see how it comes out!
I hope it has the adhesive already on it. I can only imagine the huge PITA its going to be if it doesn't. For those who ordered one can you post a guide/pictures when you install it? I'm curious about this and if it works I know a lot of people will want the white one.
I'm curious if it's actually just the blue one labeled black.

If it is indeed black then it's not an OEM part. I wonder how the quality would be in that case.
I fully expect to get a blue one, but for $10 shipped its worth trying.
I ordered a black one when they first popped up on ebay. I'll update with pics and info when it gets here. I just plan on using it as a template to see about making alternate material backs so if it's black or actually blue and listed wrong it doesn't matter to me.
Looks like they raised the price. I'll wait to see results. My back has a few weird scuff/wear marks and I'd pay $10 to get a new one to have on hand. They seems like they'd be very easy to replace.
I think it would be awesome if it turned out to be black soft touch even though that isn't original. If the quality was good anyway...
Edit - I see the black is $10 and the white is $15.
With sprint only offering the midnight blue version, I wanted the white version. I would be interested to see how a midnight blue with one of these white backs look.
I bought a black back for 10$.
I'll give it a try.
This + a crashguard bumper + a screen protector
It's all it takes to cover the entire phone
Mine shipped so it should be here in 2 weeks or so. Shipping from China is always slow.
Im interested to see how this turns out.
I'll be getting a few of these. Maybe they're knockoffs, but if they fit the device, they could be used as custom backplates. I'm thinking of using spray paint or something, to create a nice, unique backplate.

Official samsung s8 protective cover. Slimest case around

This is a very beautifull case. I think is over price at $20 but been a official samsung case and lower than last year cover case ($35) i think is worth it if u really want a miniman look no case like cover and keep ur device beautifull look.
I had the case for 2 days. Very happy with it and no scratches yet. The color is a very orchard grey like which maches perfect with all the phone colors avail. Snap easily and very tight fit. All cut outs are in perfect position. Not much grip since is plastic.
EDIT: HERE IS A REVIEW I FOUND. VERY BEAUTIFULL MINIMALISTIC CASE

Well it better be going strong you probably just got it. hehe You probably could put maybe some clear tape or screen protector to prevent scratches. The Samsung clear covers are the only ones I buy. At times buy a cheap more bulky case to use when I'm golfing and drinking. I wonder if any stores have the cases in stock. I didn't see any at T-Mobile.

I can't make up my mind between the orchid gray or silver. I didn't care for the orchid gray kind of makes the back look purple or maybe just the lighting in the picture. I've always got the silver and it makes the phone pop a tad more. imo Just a personal preference thing.

Try going to a corporate store. Thats were most tmonile have it. But i bet alot of them are sold out. I was the first one in on launch day and they offer me like 5 cases. Screen protectors, usb type c, charger, battery backup, s3 watch etc. I must have said no like 20 times.
I could imagine pushing accesories to buyers they would run out of inventory pretty quick.
