This looks interesting. Could you please post more and higher detail pictures? This deserves a bit more "coverage".

I was thinking of turning my Silver into a Red/Blue Hybrid, can't decide if I want red back or blue back though.

This is more images of this job. Actually, body is not heavy damaged and can be restored to normal. It looks perfect... An ideaal, who like to do it also, is to buy black device and to replace just back cover to silver from eBay
I don't know if I would do that to my device but i must commend you on both your interesting idea and the guts and skill to pull it off.

I saw it a few days ago in the shop and I have to admit it looked gorgeous and much better than the blue one. I also noticed the plastic on the edges is a fraction of a millimeter higher against the glass, I guess they did some minor revisions on the manufacturing.
Bought one but reverted back to the white. Couldn't stand all those fingerprints. Even the slightest specks of dust were visible too.

It IS gorgeous...got mine via expansys a few days ago. Not that this should be a reason to love a phone but have had several people ask if this is the galaxy s4 lol.
Because of the amoled tech, if you disable the wallpaper using apex or something, the blacks of the screen are so deep that it looks completely seamless the frame/bezel. Currently rocking a minimalist white icon dock and it all looks very slick.
Highly recommended.
I waited very very long too only to grt it in black.i generally have always black phones i love the dsrk style but on the s3 it looks georgeus.
It makes the s3 look like a alien weapon

LoL that's a blue with a black cover.
My Pebble Blue looks very similar to that. I've got a black cover on the back of it and it's hard to distinguish both! Quite interesting!

No, it's black. The flash is messing with the picture. It does look a tad blue in the pic. I assure you in person the black is black, the burple and black look very different.

Any particular reason why you chose the clear instead of the smoke?

I wanted the back to be more visible. But this case shows the back perfect but no sparkle effect. Much like the poetic atmosphere case just not uneven and blotchy like the atmosphere case is.

You can clearly see the Nexus and LG logo, but cannot see the glitter flakes.
The TPU part is all matte, not fully/partially glossy like most others.
The buttons are a bit mushy, so I cut a slit underneath the power and volume buttons for a slightly "clickier" feel.
I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but the top and bottom of the front lip is higher than the sides of the front lip.
The lip is low enough on the sides that I'm not bothered by it when swiping from the sides of the screen.
Cutouts are all perfect.
man...i really like how both the clear and smoke look. can't choose!!
how it's hard to remove/to put back on?
The case is very easy to install and remove. If you are familiar with tpu cases, this one is just slightly more difficult because it seems like a more rigid tpu.
You won't have any difficulties.
I also have an XO skin on the back, and the smoked plastic does not stick to it.
No "waterspots" are created.
The case did lift my front, full cut XO screen protector.
I recommend a case fit version or those regular hard plastic ones that doesn't cover the entire glass.
Thank you all so much for posting this case. I've been looking for one like this for months. Just ordered the clear one.

Good choice. Great case BTW it has great protection and doesn't push my screen protector back at all. I have a BSE case optimised protector.

It is a slight imperfection from the molding process. It is noticeable in direct light, but has not bothered me enough to request a replacement. It would take a good amount of impact to break or crack this plastic. The surface is completely smooth where the imperfection is. Ebay cases..... you get what you pay for....

Hey, I heard somewhere that the black version was more of a soft touch (I'm picturing the Nexus 7 2013 feel) whereas the white is just textured hard plastic (which I can confirm after playing with the demo in store).
Can someone with the black confirm the feel of the battery cover? Soft or just textured hard plastic?

Nope. It's not the same.
I've touched both versions in store. White has more plastic touch while black is more soft. It's not soft-touch as usual. Just more hmm.. greasy? But feeling is much better than white.

I'm not sure if we're still talking about the note 3 ...... If we are, the black one has some sort of soft touch coating. It doesn't feel like the nexus 7, but definitely doesn't feel like the slimy plastic that Samsung usually puts out. The black one actually feels and looks like a premium device IMO.
I can confirm this to ..
I have the white one. the black back has a kind of a rubbery feeling to it.
I wanted to change to the black but I like the nice texture in the front bezel of the white. and white stands out between everyones black device ( no offence to black note owners )
As someone who has always been using black phones (be it iPhones or Android), I am a little wary of moving to the white version. I am buying it off forums and this person has only the white one to sell. People with the white one, are you liking it? Especially if you're coming from a black phone?
I'm with white and its good

I haven't seen the white version, but I bet it's just as great as the black. Might switch up if I like it more

White looks too Samsung Galaxy to me. Black looks more like a Nexus device. Ah, decisions decisions.
been having black phones for years now. My last one is iphone 5. Got a G2 white and like it a lot... kinda like iphone 3GS white.
White One looks elegant, Black one is men
I'm using white one, i like it

Oh wow. That is a deal breaker. Looks like black for me then. Thanks for the input!
With the black you almost feel like you have no side bezel and it does have that nexus look to it I had the white I could see myself looking at the side bezel more often cuz they were white

That guy was trying to seem as if the screen on the white phone seems smaller due to the bezel. Honestly, its the same & when I use it I don't even pay attention or notice. Play with both in the store and decide for yourself.
I have the white and its sick in person. Get nothing but complements everywhere I go especially because its more rare than the black G2

I got mine Black because:
1. Nexus-esque look
2. Looks awesome when screen off
3. I had a white Note for almost 2 years and wanted to change
The only good thing I see on the white one is that finger prints are not that visible.
Cheers!
white on the g2, because it doesn't show fingerprints, returned the black g2, looks kinda generic
black on the note 3 because its silicon like back
Black here. Cant remember being so much in love with the look of my phone before. I barely look at my girlfriend anymore.

Yeah i'd definitely recommend black. But be warned, once you go black, you never go back
many people here would say black but i personally am using white and i can say it looks absolutely gorgeous and best part no fingerprints!!, been using for a month now no signs of getting dirty either.
was in the same boat as you are, saw a couple of videos and always at the at end of the review the black unit would get covered with fingerprints couldnt stand it got the white and loving it
It's a personal choice.
Ask yourself whether you would dress in white from top to bottom (white hat, white suite, white vest, white pants, white socks, white shoes) or black one.
Get the white one. Seriously. The black one looks like its a s3 clone. The white one actually manages to look pretty and isn't a fingerprint magnet.

I chose Black because my previously phone was white. (Well silver and white HTC One but my Note before that was white). Sometimes it's good to switch it up. White if you like to stand out, black if you like the sleek look. Either way, you're gonna slap a colored case on it. Enjoy.

I think the "finger print magnet" thing is over-rated...got blown up by the reviews sites like gsm arena...so silly...every gadget in our lives is finger print magnet..that is the truth..but it is always up to the user....
