Has anyone made a decent replacement for the crappy plastic back Samsung has used on the Note 3?
Id expect a real leather version at some point...

what color note 3 do you have ??
I got the black Note 3 and i absolutely think the faux leather back is nice... but the white color note 3 is not as nice, not the same feel...
I have ordered the original Samsung S view cover which is nice leather back

i have gone for the white because the white front is nice but i know the back is going to be crud because its white.
I might order a black back if its better.. but a nicer material than plastic would be welcome.

Undecided between the white and the metallic gray back.
I had the possibility to use a galaxy tab with the white back for a while and I had the impression that back is pretty strong plastic.
Is there any problem with the metallic back? Does it easily scratch?
Thanks!

I would say the grey is better. It's finely grooved unlike the smooth plastic on the white one. Light scratches shouldn't show, of course I have a case on it anyway.

Agreed, definitely glad I went the grey route. Excellent feel, and assuming you either a) put it in some kind of case (I'd HIGHLY recommend the Samsung case) or b) don't treat it like garbage, scratching shouldn't be an issue. I'd be FAR more concerned about scratching the white case than the grey
i bought on ebay for $13 an original looking like 1:1 Burgundy-red colored back cover with matte surface. it also half plastic and half rubber like so it feels really smooth and nice with a good grip in your hands.

now i also bought a white one with the same matte rubber surface which also looks like the original one xD
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Matte-White...010?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6b12c8aa
i put it on my gorgeous Pure White Arc S and it looks nice.
what do you think guys?
It looks great!
I've found the burgundy red (and a shiny white one) awhile ago too on Ebay and couldn't resist, so i did the same huge investment as you
I've got a silver Arc and it looks just as good as on your white one.
It looks good, I also ordered the red one a week ago still waiting for it to arrive.
How is the fit? Does it wiggle at all or does it snap on perfectly like an original?

fits perfectly. its really looks 1:1 like the original one.

Is there any chance that this is actually an original?
Will post pictures when I get the red one for my black arc
Here is Mine Black to white
But Burgundy red ! i think much better ...
the thing i find interesting the most is that these are not OEM back covers but they look 1:1 like the original ones and fit pereftly AND there is a color that doesn;t exist as an OEM color which is the frikinly cool BUrgundy Red back cover.
Could be awesome if new colors will pop up and even front covers as well especially if the front covers will have the same rubbery material as the back covers.
then we could have out sexy xperia arc have better rubber material all over it like the new xperia s =D
I hope the rubber covers don't get dirty to easily. Is the grip very good? I don't like a glossy plastic battery cover, too slippery and I don't like to use protection cases for phones since they are bulky
The rubber covers have a good grip, but yeah, they do get dirty easily; that's why i now switched back to the glossy white one, in combination with my original silver front it's not that slippery.
To be honest, the original silver back cover works the best, but hey.....i'm into 'looks' sometimes

Love the look of the glossy one that came with the phone but indeed is wwwaaayyy to slippery!
I went from a Motorola Droid to the Arc so it was very hard to adjust to the weight let alone a rubber battery cover to slippery glossy.
I bought the matte rubber cover (Black) and haven't looked back since
So I'm jealous of the feel of the black backplate. From what I've read the OEM branded ones in white tend not to be as nice feeling.
Anyone willing to trade their uber black backplate for my non-uber white? Or does anyone have experience with aftermarket backplates that are of passable quality?
I think you from the bottom of my heart =]
You can get a back cover from Verizon for like ten bucks. I have a white version and don't mind it. But then again a white front and black back would drive me crazy.

This post may come off to you as silly, but still how come not a single reviewer would mention it or even a regular user? There is no such thing as a white nexus 6, that thing is GREY, light grey yes but no well in hell is the back cover of the nexus 6 white, even the cover of the " white nexus 9" is just grey, don't get me wrong I love how it looks, but I hate being lied to, what's up with your wrong branding of colors google? First the red nexus 5 , which is ORANGE and now the nexus 6 ? Sorry I had to let it all out
Sounds like someone needs to color calibrate their monitor?
Go to the paint section of your local hardware store, there are many shades of white. This device is well within that range
Yes, I believe the actual title is "cloud white". Not "white" so...
Color blind much??
I've had the Midnight Blue and now have the Cloud White. The color of the back is an off white and similar to 'eggshell' and its certainly not gray. I don't have my Nexus 9 anymore or I would post a side by side of the two white backs. I don't use the factory back anyway so it doesn't matter. The frame is silver and it goes well with my black leather back.

The difference b/t gray and white is on the gray scale and differentiating grays isn't affected by color blindness in humans.
Heck even people with achromatopsia can distinguish shades of grey from white.

I have a black one, a brown one and a football leather one. Another member was kind enough to link the OP above. The white Nexus is still white unless I'm blind. I recommend seeing one person if you can because it will clear things up instantly.
Edit: he linked the website to buy it from. I've posted the link to the OP below where you can see pictures of it. Keep in mind you have to remove the factory back to make it flush with the frame.

Exactly.
Since every sane person is going to put on a protective cover that will obscure the back of the phone.... who the heck really cares? Mine's gray/blue, but the ballistic maxx cover makes it BLACK.
Wait...what?

You have a black leather back? Like an actual leather replacement for the OEM back cover, or just a vinyl skin that looks like leather or some other kind of adhered leather product or what? I have been wanting a real leather or wood replacement for my OEM back. It's the only think that has kept me from ordering the middle chassis conversion kit from Ebay. I want the silver frame, but not too keen on the white back. I want real wood or leather like the Moto X.
I'm sorry but there is no white Nexus 6, there is a GREY nexus 6

Correct. Actual leather, however there is no plastic under it so you need to do a few small things for it to look right on the phone. I'll post a picture of my phone with the Black leather and one with the brown leather.
I aged my brown one for a better look
That brown looks so good. I would love to have that look but maintain the nexus logo and the dimple but not so worried about the moto logo.
When you say there is no plastic behind the leather, what have you done to protect the device from impacts and such to the back panel?

There is a subframe under the plastic back so the leather sits on top of that and its perfectly stable. Look st the OP I linked earlier for pictures of the install. There are quite a few people who have done this without any issues. I always have my phone in a case anyway but the back is just as durable as the factory one in my opinion.
Are they actually worth it? How does the kevlar one feel, does it feel just like plastic? What about the wood ones, I was thinking about getting the black apricot one but was thinking how it feels, are they textured and do they feel nice? Thanks
Edit: Just saw a little disclaimer saying that it increases the width a bit and so cases may not fit, is this actually true or they just saying it to make sure?
I had the bamboo cover, it was very slippery. Especially switching from the sandstone one. And yes with the bamboo cover I could not fit it into a third party flip cover. So I ended up selling it already.
I have all of them and i love the kevlar one its almost like a soft touch rubber feel but hard i really recommend it, and yes they do increase the depth of the phone but some cases fit most dont though but then again why buy a case to cover the beauty of the back plate?!
Kevlar best? How is the black apricot one, could it be recommended over the sandstone one. Also think theres a case that just covers the edge of the phone, leaving the back to touch

No, not for me.
I like that Kevlar feels slightly soft. OP2 looks more premium with Kevlar.
