Do you think it will be available in the future? And I'm not talking about pouch, wallets, bags, etc.
I love the new look but it's still not real leather. I want the real deal.

Thanks for the reply, but neither of those sites offer what I was asking.
I'm not looking for a case of wallet. Or something that goes around the phone.
I'm looking for a replacement for back cover only. I don't need protection, just something to make a great looking phone even better looking.

I want one too. I find the fake leather still not tacky enough to the touch. Better than the old slick but not enough for me.
would love this too
I would be very intressted in one of theese
Me too, definitely interested in this!
Would love one of these!
i felt the black note3 in store demo was much closer to leather feel. but the white note3 felt like 100% plastic. i still got the white one because of the color and my case will cover the back.

I'm confused. You want someone who works with an organic material like leather to make a tightly machined set of tiny clips on something that's normally at least 2mm thick and crumbles when dried?
Or do you want someone to glue a piece of split (like sliced thin) leather to a plastic back? Samsung painted on what they could while keeping the back as thin as is structurally sound.
Yes, real leather would be nice, but real leather won't do that, not unless you add some heft to the existing structure of the (or any) plastic back.
Its really nice one... I like it

Has anybody here found a real genuine leather battery cover to replace the fake one on the Note 3?
So far the only real leather I have found is on the flip cases.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4
Not that I have seen, it may be a tough one to make unless someone covers an existing battery door with leather itself.
I think a real leather battery cover would be awesome.
A nice tan or beige color would go great with white or black note. Kind of like the interior tan leather color with a white car
Sent from my C6602
IF such a thing does get made, I'd be on it
My only concern is how it will not dissipate heat well at all. Unless they make it from extremely thin leather and stretch it over the OEM battery door....

I wonder if zagg will come out with a leather skin for it. That might work. I have one on my ipad and it's really nice.
I bought the white note 3 in hopes that I might be able to possibly die the white pleather tan or brown. Any thoughts on this?
I'm not sure what material I could use that wouldn't come off on my hands.

It's not pleather, it's textured hard plastic. I'd bet you could spray paint it pretty easily.

If you really want to change the backs color try SEM automotive interior dye. Its a high quality plastic dye.
These aren't exactly real leather, but look like it. I don't think they feel like plastic either but not sure

I have this case and it really does not add a lot of bulk to the phone.
I would say around half the thickness of the Spen on its slimmer side, if that makes sense.
Protects the phone really well though, since it has 2 material composition.
I have dropped my phone from my face height several times (talking while holding multiple other stuff on both hands) but case looks fine besides a few surface scratches.
Thickness is about 7/16 (.4375) or 11mm.

I highly doubt they're fake. Smart Shop has almost one hundred thousand ratings and 94% of those ratings are positive. I've also read here on XDA about many people ordering the bumper when it's $0.01 and haven't seen anything about them being fake.

"Fake?" Poetic is just branding a generic case from the same Chinese supplier as the Bear Motion bumper ring case.

Just looked at the bumper they have on their site and it looks very similar to the Poetic and Bear Motion, doesn't seem slimmer and its 2/3 times the price. Looks good though, but not for 24 dollars.

Doesn't look all that similar to me. My main concern is that it might have a transparent shell based on that watermark logo in the pics. That would prevent me from using it with my slightly thicker official Samsung wireless charge cover battery door. The Bear Motion / Poetic case fits fine but I hate the squishy power button. They don't show any pics without a phone so I can't tell if there is a shell or not. With a shell it wouldn't technically be a bumper, but Love Mei is guilty of that error too.
Hello, I recent brought his bumper on eBay, and I got to say, I love it very much, it adds no bulk to the phone and feels like its part of the phone instead of it as a case.
It's really slim and it protects the bezel. It lifts high enough to be able to put it face down, but the camera will touch if you put it down normally.
Also, keep in mind that the bumper uses a screw.
I had it for about a week, and have not notice any notable signal lost, but that's just me.
I got the case for 7.99, but it might be different depending on the eBay seller.
Here are the pictures of the black one, but if you guys like, I can also upload pictures of the red and silver one.
Sorry for the horrible quality, they were taken with my Nexus 7.
Could you post the silver and link where they were purchased. Thank you.

I had this case cuz I bought it from a local store. I gave up on it after two days because it is so easy to pry apart when screwed on. It makes my OCD scream because it doesn't feel like it's on there, and dust can easily get into the pried crevice.

I just got this in the mail and figured that I would contribute a bit of a review and some pictures in case anyone has any questions.
So far my first impressions are that it feels really good in the hand. Like the original S-View cover, it should also offer some basic drop protection due to the lip that surrounds the top, bottom and exposed sides. It is also a bit thicker in the rear than the plain S-View cover. The only way it is not protected is if I happen to drop it with the case open. I use an iloome flexible glass protector in case that happens, but let's hope not. I will not go into the S-View function as that has been covered pretty well on this forum, except to say I have had no issues with it locking with the front cover folded all the way back. I have tried it so far on a Tylt Vu charger and it worked well. It did get a bit warm, but I didn't find it a cause for concern. I also have a Nokia DT-900 charger to test with at the office. I will be sure to do that and let you know if it charges well. I tested NFC using my Nexus 7 and it worked well. The biggest flaw with this cover has been addressed by Spigen. I have added the magnetic clip to it and it is very effective. I have to say this cover looks very polished and professional, especially with the clip. Overall, I find that it kills 2 birds with one stone. It adds wireless charging, without the loss of NFC or S-view and it protects the Note 3 from minor drops. I haven't seen any drop tests with the S-View but it is a more substantial case than the first effort on the GS4.

Just to be clear for everyone looking at this thread, the one pictured is NOT the official Wireless S-View Cover! The one pictured is the Spigen Wireless S-View Cover, not the official Samsung Wireless S-View Cover (like the thread's title reads). Just don't want anyone getting confused, as the thread's title is very misleading and should be edited.
