I bought it from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Brus...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item53ef678d0f
I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.
What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.
I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question

Do these affect signal? I had one of these on my GS3 and could not get LTE unless I took it off. Overall reception was bad while using it.

Now for a bumper that will fit the sides well.
Any idea or have anyone tried a bumper with this yet?

Here is someone selling a aftermarket back door and the aluminum bumper together. This leads me to think it will fit without a problem...

anyone know if this is goign to fit? amazon currnetly have the samsung flip covers for under £5, (orange and brown) so could be good?
No, it won't fit. The official flip cases replace your back cover, and the Note 2 is a different size to the Note 1.
Different size dude!!

I seen them in black and white tonight listed on eBay. They look very similar to the original Samsung flip covers. I'm not sure about the quality though. They look good in the supplied pics, but you just never know.
I've been searching around since I got my Note 2, and I can't find very many cases with raised buttons. So far the only thing that's caught my eye has been the official Samsung case. Are there any other suggestions? I don't want something massive like an Otterbox, just something grippy with raised buttons
I ordered this one a day before i got my note (first thing on launch day) and received the case 2 days later.
It has no bulk at all, it has grippy sides and a nice clear back so u can see that dreaded verizon logo .
Overall nice case, I have two more on the way and should be here today.
But I think this one will be my primary.

The official samsung case is great. The buttons are raised and easy to press unlike the cheap tpu I got from ebay. I couldn't feel where the buttons we're. Overall is a great case and fits perfect.

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand.

Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks
my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons
Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...
Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

Looking to pick up a metal bumper but I don't want the kind that slide together. I purchased one of those from Ebay a few months ago and I wasn't very happy with it. Looking for something that is a little better quality. The Sweet Armor looked good but it is no longer available in black. Any suggestions?
The draco looks nice, but I can't find any one who has one with our phone for an opinion

Im just worried about recption problems with metal or aluminum bumpers. Had real bad experience with some when I was still on my iphone 5 and it wasnt those cheap bumpers too.

first vid i found of it. the red one looks sick..but like all metal bumpers including this one - you will suffer one bar loss if not more depending on your signal strength in your area.

Yes it does, I just wish it wasn't $90.00.
I have a Thunder Gray Draco sitting in my mailbox. I'll get pics and do a review when I get home. When I had a Sweet Armor case on my S3 there was no signal loss. The Draco for some reason did drop one bar. Call quality and data connection wise, I didn't notice a difference. I'll check it and see what happens tonight.
iPhone 5 has their antennas all along the aluminum sides. When you put a aluminum bumper on top of that, you're doubling the interference.
Samsung phones are some type of polymer / plastic. Not as much interference. That's why Draco has cases that are half aluminum and half plastic for the iPhone. If there were really issues with reception interference, they would have switch the S3 cases to half and half as well.
Have you seen this one?

I think the issue I had with it is that there is a cutout for the antenna that the Asian version of the phone has. If it didn't have that cutout, I would've gotten it.

What is an alternate case to the Rugged Defender W/Zero Lemon Battery...
What off Brand ones have people been using?
I don't think anyone is using anything besides the modded defender (or deNfender Chinese knockoff) or the tpu it comes with...
I'm using the tpu with a flygrip and a home made flip cover that I keep improving.
Going to post pics today but don't know if anyone will care. But it works for me! lol
