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

That depends on the source and the method used.
Just got this in the mail 2 days ago so I just wanted to share some thoughts on it.
First off the fitment is perfect. It actually fits a little better than the stock backing. This is the Silver w/ white trim which looks amazing on my white Note 3.
It also definitely adds a decent amount of weight to the phone so for those that want to keep the phone feather light this is not something I would recommend to you.
I don't really use NFC much so I haven't really tested how much it affects it. But I haven't noticed any degrading in my cell and wifi signal.
Overall I love this back because it makes the phone feel a whole lot sturdier. Almost feels like my HTC one in terms of build feel but do remember what I said about the added weight.
Hope this helps some people who were thinking about getting this.
Here's a link to the item on ebay: Aluminum / Plastic Backing
Ever thought about linking to where others can get one for themselves? The hell is the point in reviewing something without letting fellow gn3ers know where to get one?

So is it plastic or metal? or is it basically metal with a plastic lining on the inside?
The backing is primarily plastic with a thin aluminum sheet on it.

Well its looking really very nice...However I just want to know..if this aluminium coated plastic plate leaves any sign or mark on the Note 3 at its removal...???

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but I've removed the backing a few times already and there is not marking at all.
does this work with wireless charging?
hmm. looks pretty good! the case seems thicker.
does it sink/cover the camera?
with the leather back, the camera kinda protrudes..

I've got the black w/ white trim version on my GN3. These cases are noticeably thicker than the stock case, between 0.5 and 1.0 mm thicker, I'd say. The protrusion from the camera is reduced, but it still sticks out. I'd eyeball the camera bump at 1/3mm with the aluminum case.
As someone has mentioned, these are plastic backs with a very thin metal layer.
I'm undecided if I'm seeing signal difference or not. If I am, it's less than 1-bar on average.
Note that these backs are much slicker than stock. Almost slippery in the hand. They are extremely smooth, other than a slight horizontal brushed effect.
Overall, I'm happy with the new back, but I'm probably going to revert to stock. I ordered the replacement before I had my phone in-hand and I find I like the stock back a lot more than I was expecting to.

Not sure if we're buying the same ones but my camera doesn't stick out at all.
It's very close but definitely tucked in enough to protect the camera lens.
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.

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.

Bought the Ballistic Jewel LS case for my White Note 3. The case offers great protection as it sticks out a bit from all four corners which offer protection against cracked screens. The front of the case is raised to protect the screen. Love the case as it shows the whole phone through it.

Because I live in the UK this Ballistic case wasn't available from any UK sites. So I had to order it off Ebay, shipped from America so the case was around £7.99 and shipping from America cost £5

I have these skins for my Mix 3 and they're very nice. Currently have the black carbon fiber on. Thick, great texture, stick to the phone well and very grippy-- great for making the phone much less slippery while keeping the appearance top notch. They come with side protection too.
The negative is you have to buy a minimum of three at $25. That's not a bad price for 3 quality skins but they're so tough and with such good stickiness that I don't think I'll need more than one! Just purchased them for my Mi 9 too.

Hello!
I got my skin from donicesky com and it's great
I'm assuming these skins will glue to the back of the phone, but how hard is it to remove them afterwards? Is the glue super strong?
Most use an sticky but easy to remove adhesive. I recently found a Indonesian company that sells 3M skins for the Mi9.
Here is a link
