[Nook Touch General] Karibou3:
Oh it's an ugly and hasty modification of the original one (first picture in my post) I basically cut off the hinge, put an elastic band between the two remaining parts (you may have noticed it holds and bent the end of the the pincers (if that's the adequate word)

it's ugly but it does the job for now. I'll try to make up something more elegant later (probably involving rubber and claws to make use of the indents, I tried that before to fasten my book LED to the nook and it works well)

Thanks for your advice on the back powered hub, I think I might modify one later but for now I'd like to add power to this particular build (trying to keep it simple) I tried to tap into the Vcc and GND of an USB cable connected to my computer, while it charges the nook in "peripheral mode", no luck with the host mode... So I can't use my remote and charge the nook at the same time

Am I doing something wrong? what are your settings you use with your hub (should be the same right?)

I know some of you have been looking for these and I found some that look really good with stitching and all. 3.99 isn't a bad price either.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] friedchick3n:
Cool Thanks! Gonna purchase some now
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
Let us know how they are. Interested if it feels different, more leathery or less etc
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
Any updates on this. Wanna know if it feels like the original as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
i've seen some similar one's to the oem, but the surface is smooth, multi colours including metalic colours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
My thoughts are that this is shipping from China so it's probably gonna be at least another week
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orphagn:
Ordered one last week and the tracking shows that it's in LA now so I should be getting it Monday or Tuesday.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
Cool let me know how it is. I want OEM feel without any branding. Haven't been able to find one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] h3ck:
Ordered a white one so I can go the storm trooper look. (Black phone, white battery cover)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
That would be a cool look. Hopefully the white one isn't slippery like the OEM white.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] h3ck:
That's why I'm glad they are only 3.99 so if it is still slippery, at least it was only 3.99 lol might get a white s pen to complete the look and use a jedi rom. Haha
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
True. Maybe paint the stylus red to look like Vaders light saber
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] davey999944:
Getting a Note 3 next week, probably a case too, but for 4 bucks, why not change the back color? :p interested to hear how it feels

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Hmm not a fan of any of those colors though. I'd really like a rich crimson color, all of the ones offered are too bright
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] smeddy:
Lol Stormtrooper look, I had that on my S2 for years :)

*patiently waiting for someone to post pics and thoughts
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cocoabean772:
Just ordered one. Will post photos once it's in.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orphagn:
So mine just came in today. I got it in mint green.

The texture of it feels very similar to the one that came with my phone. It also has a little writing on the back that says "Bubblepack".

It didn't fit perfectly when I first tried to put it on, until I tried putting it on starting from the bottom.

It feels a little bit more grippy but that could be because I just got back from biking and my hands are sweaty. Either way, it's not a bad price if you want to change the battery cover color.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ugh what:
Thanks for sharing the pic, looks good. Did you order from one of the sellers that shows pics without the text in the corner? I ordered from this seller and I'll be annoyed if they show up with text on them, because I ordered four of them haha. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12123930293...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I ordered mint green, purple, lime green, and black (for a spare, I have a black phone).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orphagn:
Yes, that's the same seller I ordered from lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ugh what:
Haha damn. Good thing they're $4 a pop. Thanks! As surprise logos go, it could be much worse.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
I was about to order but thanks for the info. I think ill wait to see if I can find one without logo. I'm going to buy black and if there's logo I might as well get OEM ones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
I ordered one weeks ago to experiment on and it still hasn't arrived. I wanted one that was the same as OEM but they only had glossy versions in black. :( How close are these to the original Samsung factory cover? Will they fit in any tight form-fitting case? I ask because I need to hack it up to test fit some things. Does it still have the bumps for holding in the mSD card and the ridge that seals off the battery area?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Samsung has officially release 6 new colours battery cover, i've also just seen a fake leather back cover, was going to buy it, but backed off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
I assume it has the samsung and note 3 logo? I like the blank ones. Still looking for one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
yes you are right, the mustard colour one looks good to match my rose gold phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ugh what:
Link to the official ones?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Hong kong shop address if you want it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ugh what:
Thanks.

Here's a comparison between the stock black and the black eBay case. It's thinner and the earlier poster was right, you have to start snapping it on from the bottom or else it won't go on, but it does seem to fit once you get it on there. It's more difficult to remove despite having fewer connection points around the edges from what I can tell... it's just a tighter fit. It also has the logo. I prefer the feel of the stock back but the eBay one is indeed grippier, and feels fine particularly for $4.

My other colors were a separate shipment and haven't arrived just yet but thought people might like the black to black comparison.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] davey999944:
Could you just give us a link please?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I got it locally from samsung hong kong store, there is no link to a online store for samsung hong kong, they do not sell online, as i said a store address is available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Just purchased this from the samsung store, a mustard yellow battery cover, it's a shame the samsung word is chrome colour and not gold.

Forgot to mention, the price is HKD 98, approximate USD 12.5.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orphagn:
Thanks for the pics. I think i'll stay with my white one than get any of those colors lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I think there is a total of about 6-7 colours including a metalic blue one, I choose the mustard colour to match the rose gold rim that my phone has.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] orphagn:
Oh ok. I thought they just had those two colors. My phone sits in a case most of the time so I don't have a real need to get one of these, hence why I bought the ones for $4 :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
My white battery cover is very hard to get at present, may be easier in a few months time, i couldn't even find it in china, my cover has the word samsung in gold, rather than silver/chrome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Just purchased another one today, it's a brown one this time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pman219:
Hey, get me a blue one and I'll paypal you :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] davey999944:
Do they have them in red?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Apart from the pink, white and black, these are the only official oem, there is a metalic blue, but cannot find a photo of it.

I have these

this is the link where you can see the colour much clearer.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
I just got this knock-off cover today from an eBay seller selling multiple colors. It fits a lot tighter than the original but that may be because I've been taking the originally off multiple times a day. It is slightly thicker and has a ridge/lip around the camera where the original one doesn't. I wanted a junk door to hack up which would still fit in any case and this may not fit in any case. It is a tight fit in my Spigen Slim Armor but inserting and removing my phone with the stock door already made a crack in the shell (just above the volume up key). This is obviously going to be extra stress. There are reflective flecks in the plastic that are uneven and large enough to appear more like contaminates. The Galaxy Note 3 printing is larger than the stock door and just looks bad. I'm glad I never intended to replace my original with this ugly thing!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
Looks like you have the glossy one. Maybe there's thicker paint on it that makes it thicker than other knock offs? The ones that the OP posted I think is also different and thinner than OEM.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
They didn't sell a matte/textured black or replica. The paint isn't what makes it thicker as there is a thin vertical lip around the camera. The inside looks pretty close except there's a slightly deeper cavity for the battery (Qi receivers?).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
That's interesting. Misread your post. Ya that could be for Qi. Maybe they make one mold but sell them with and without Qi.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
SwiftKey mangled the word "slightly," err, slightly. ;)

It's hard to see in the photo but the deeper area is a perfect clean rectangle exactly the size of the battery.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Thats not for qi receiver, all oem covers have the same inside the battery cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
I compared it side-by-side with OEM and there is a deeper cavity on the aftermarket one. It's very hard to see in the pics. The only reason I can see is to fit a Qi receiver slightly better or to fit slightly thicker batteries (poorly made ones because it's not big enough for an extended one).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
Could ba just a poor quality one with the machine pressing.

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:07 AM ----------

On the photo, which one is the oem one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Well, it's very clean and deliberate-looking.

You can barely even see that on the stock one and yet the aftermarket one is deep enough to cast a shadow.

Tapatalk refuses to show the orientation that I took them in and I don't know if you see them correctly so the aftermarket one would be the cover on the top or right side.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
That just a machine press, i see it clearly, i have come across some of those in china.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
There's actually a step that's not quite as deep to the side of the posts that keep the SD card from falling out. It looks deliberate just like the lip protecting the edge of the camera.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Has anyone purchased and/or received a white battery door? I'll probably order one anyway, but it would be nice to see what I'll be getting beforehand.

EDIT : I like the fact that it leaves the extra room over the battery, these may be perfect for those using a Qi Receiver! Anyone have one of these doors and a Qi Receiver by chance?

I agree that it isn't a bad machining job, but done deliberately instead!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Blancos4Lyf:
So, how are these OEM?

Oh it say's OEM styled, my bad!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
doesn't your phone cover with a white battery cover, thats if you have a white phone.

so far majority qi receiver will fit into the oem cover, so no need to actually go for that particular, although the quality looks good through the photo, i've used the powerqi, yijieneng, nillkins view/qi receiver, unbranded one's and now the samsung s view wireless receiver with the oem battery cover, all works well.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

The main thing is, the quality is good, and it has a good fit, and cheap.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
[MENTION=610412]kms108[/MENTION], I'm not sure what you mean in your first sentence. My Note 3 is white, though, so it does have a white battery door.

I do still want/need an extra battery door, though.

I also have a couple of Qi receivers and Qi chargers. While they do both fit under my stock battery door, if you really REALLY feel for it, you can feel just a VERY slight hump (and I'm super picky about my devices, lol). I have the Qi receiver I got from eBay taped to my stock battery door, and the TechMatte Qi receiver taped to my official Samsung S-View Cover. The TechMatte receiver leaves the contacts open on the side that faces the battery door, which allows my S-View Cover to function exactly as it should! The TechMatte Qi receiver is perfect for anyone who has the non-Qi Samsung S-View Cover, wants wireless charging capabilities, but doesn't want to have to modify a Qi receiver to allow the S-View Cover to function properly. The TechMatte receiver works straight outta the package with no modifications needed! It's awesome, and I don't understand why other Qi receivers aren't manufactured the same way because it's genius!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
All im saying is you have a white cover, why go for another, i have just purchased a brown and a mustard colour cover, both oem, not too sure if I have use for it.

Yeh I have the yijieneng receiver, it's one of the best available if you require the use of qi and s view, I also have the nillkin which has the s view function IC built into the qi reciever, and now i'm using the samsung oem s view wireless receiver, i've removed the receiver from the oem cover, it's in my oem battery cover, and works perfect.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
I have the Samsung charging kit which comes with a spare battery. I never charge my phone, just the battery that's not in it. I take off my battery door 2-4 times a day, and somehow it's gotten a small crack in it. Even if it wasn't cracked, I want a white carbon fiber battery door. I'll probably just buy 1 of these cheap white battery doors, and wrap it with a white carbon fiber skin.

Plus, every white carbon fiber battery door that I've seen on eBay looks like it's just a cheap wrap on it, and also thicker than the OEM battery door. These look to be as thin as the OEM battery door, so I won't have to worry about my phone fitting in my belt holster, or how my cases fit in the few occasions that I have it in a case

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
It's strange that you mention the different texture with this new colour against the oem black, my white (oem that came with the phone), mustard (purchased from samsung store) and brown (purchased from samsung store) are all the same, is this because different countries have different covers.

I remember when I took my note 3 (hong kong version) to china, some of the shops say I have changed the cover, as it does not look original.

can anyone from china or other regions confirm this.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] charge1:
I ordered the ones from China. Got black, white, red, lime green. Red and green ones tricky to snap on right. White one perfect. They say Bubblepack on the back for carrying transit cards. Looks stock except hard texture. Nice for the price!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] altimax98:
No the black and white OEM covers are slightly different in texture

Impulse bought me an orange one
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
Yep. I have the white phone, and got a second black OEM back to change out when the mood hits me. The white back is very smooth plastic which is even kind of slippery, but the black one is a bit tacky. The black one almost even feels like real leather.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
I need to check this out, i have access all colour note 3, but haven't actually tested it out whether the covers are the same or not.

I have these 4 oem colours, only the metalic blue has a different feel, but I also need to confirm whether the mustard colour is the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
That blue is nice! When you say different feel, do you mean not as grippy? That would be too bad if that's the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
it's hard to say, the word slippery/grippy is explained differently by different people.

Well I just got my black one from the eBay listing in the OP and it's not as grippy as OEM at all. I thought someone mentioned that it was more grippy but it's not so just be aware. Specifically if you don't use a case and you want that extra grip. This one also says BUBBLEPACK on the corner.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MACHEK:
That's the quote I think you were referring to from the second page of the thread. Maybe just a difference of opinion but thanks for the feedback regardless. Helps with the decision process.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
Yup that was it. I don't use a case so I rely on the battery cover for additional grip. But at the same time I want a blank back or close to it. Also made an aftermarket battery cover with Kickstand and it's not grippy so I was relying on this cover to be just like OEM and was going to use it to lay over it to add grip but doesn't look like that's going to happen right now. So back to searching...and back to my OEM cover for now.

I might end up giving it away so if you want it I'll mail it to you as long as you're in the U.S. I'll let you know by tomorrow in case I have a friend that might want it.
