I went to best buy and bought a book cover thinking it would work with my euro N7000 note... I was wrong. I did take a dremel to it and MADE it work! Lol! Just have to file off some of the little feet that clamp it on. Anyway, thought I might save some people the hassle.

Any pics on this or can anyone confirm that US battery cover does not fit the international Note?
What about the battery itself. That should work correct?

The batteries are the aame. I would like to know what needs to be done to make the covers work though.

Sorry guys... forgot about this. I took a dremel and sanded 5 or 6 of the little feet on the inside half off. If you lay both doors beside each other you can see they are identical except for samsung made 5 or 6 of the feet twice as big on the U.S. version... also, the NFC antenna area on the U.S. version has an area that's raised and that had to be sanded too as it made the door not sit tight against the back. All that being said, if you need "confirmation", go to best buy and buy one... you'll have your confirmation then.

Yeah I have a Samsung white leather case that I got with the att version of the note which I no longer have. It don't fit my n7000. The case was free so not much to complain about but I have no use for it.

I love the idea of the c-pen.
Does anyone have any feedback?
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
Hopefully u don't use a screen protector. It makes it not work as well. Other than that I live mine. The only thing I don't like is the fact that its so big and I have to carry it around separately. I'm working on just using the tip in a smaller body with a clip that I can attach to the fold of the flip cover so that it doesn't interfere with it closing.
Other than that I love it. Oh yea, you can't use it on any other device.....

Btw I can use my Cpen on wife's note 10.1
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I don't have have a note 10.1 to test.... I can see it working on that as the screen is similar to ours. Same with the note and note 2. As far as iphones, iPads, my transformer etc. It will work if u push extremely hard.... feels like I'll break the glass though if I do. Its because the tip is so fine, roughly half the size of a standard stylus
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
it's to my understanding that the reason the C-Pen won't work on most other devices is because the Galaxy S3 and a few other Samsung devices have a higher "resolution" (if you will) touch sensor. Basically it doesn't require as much of a contact patch to detect touch.
I have been thinking way too much about the finger print catcher battery cover on this phone and started to think...how hard would it be for a company to produce a ceramic battery door for this phone? Would anyone even buy one?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Due to the way that my ceramic coated wedding band will not scratch this would be awesome. I have a feeling though that the ceramic would block signals.

I was just on ebay searching for a different battery cover and I found a carbon fiber and a leather cover I liked. I almost bought it until I looked at the pictures really close and noticed that non of'm had the 2 LTE antenna prongs on them like the US versions. Man that sucks, the leather cover is really nice

My local sprint store has the defender now so if youve been waiting for it you might want to give them a call. Fits perfect but does add bulk to the phone. I took the screen protecter off also because im using a zagg hd.

So with the defender being huge and a rubber shell how is pocket access?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
just got mine last night. sprint store was supposed to call me when they got them in. glad i found this thread.
For those that are lucky enuff to have found these in stores near by, were they all black or did they have any of the other two colors? The guy at my Sprint store is supposed to call me when they get them and I want the Glacier one, but all I have heard was people finding black ones so far. If black's the only one being shipped I'll end up going with that if I find it first since I can't stand carrying this phone around without it being protected.
Two things for me is no way will I pay that for a piece of plastic and rubber. Plus with that wide of a case my thumb wouldn't be able to reach the opposite side of the screen. No single hand tapping anymore.
Think I am just going to get a cheapo rubber case to give me some grip on the back.

So I got bored and picked up a cheap 3800mah battery of eBay for around $10. I wanted to get the laza one with nfc but it isn't available in Canada. Once been running the cheapie for a few days now. I no longer have to charge at work and after 9 hours of light use on the weekend I am down less than one quarter.
Biggest downside is the supplied back doors not quite fit right.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium
Just an update. Battery life is consistently good. I leave work without charging at around 50%. Previously if I didn't charge while at work I would be down to 10-15%. I can play a hell of a lot of minecraft these days days. The issues with the back turned out to be from some plastic flashing. I cleaned up the edge and it sits snugger than the original back. Not bad for under$10

Extended OEM battery for the T-mobile Galaxy Nexus works great on our phone in the original case too! NFC capable.
Oh I can defiantly agree with that statement with an astrix, the old back does fit but it takes some force to get it to stay completely sealed and after about 6mo I had to replace the back of the device because the clips that held it on no longer worked properly just an FYI.....

Anybody knows? On the original back door cover there's these two lil metal dots that look like they connect to the phone when you snap it on. I want to get one of those flip cases but not through Samsung since they charge so much. The third party covers are built the same but are missing the two metal dots.

Yes, the NFC chip is in the back cover, so you would need to buy a cover that has NFC.
