I see few of them on Ebay and I am interested in the metal back cover rather than going the case route, but I wanted to know if the back cover on sprint is compatible with nothing on the back of it(nfsc etc etc) if someone can post a picture of both sides of the back cover that would be greatly appreciated

There are no contacts for NFC. You may be able to pry off the contact on the OEM back or get another one and do that. But NFC and metal don't play well together usually. May work, may not.

But you can get this, it has nfc. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NIRX14/ref=pe_152840_26435120_pe_vfe_dt1 Ive used these batteries before on my gs3 and they were really good.

On Note II NFC is NOT part of the battery but is a part of the back cover. That little black plate with two contacts on its side... there's NFC under it.
Whether our Note II has a way how to route NFC signal from the battery I consider highly unlikely.

Hmm, didnt think about that, just thought they would work like the gs3.

Wasn't sure exactly where to put this, so mods feel free to move this thread if necessary.
I recently saw this thread with custom laser engraved battery covers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1474014
I also was aware of the limited edition google employee battery cover. I figured since they are either ridiculously priced/nowhere to be found, that I would just remake the template so that people could get it done if they wanted too. A few of the icons had to be custom made because I could not find them, but everything is very close. Revisions can always be made later (or by you) if you choose.
I'm sure this template could be used for a number of things, so I figured themes & apps was the most appropriate place to post it. I left the edges to the side icons on also, so if you plan on using this for the engraving, make sure you take care of them.

How they line up:
Awesome.
Any ideas where to get it etched?
I'm not sure I'd want this particular battery cover, but does anyone know of a way of getting other battery covers for the LTE Galaxy Nexus? Custom etching would be nice, but mainly I'd be happy with anything that doesn't have the damn Verizon logo.

Try ebay, purchased to metal back cover black and chrome, fits perfectly on my GNEX gem verdion
Grover concepts just shot me an email of the cover as well as their tweaked version. Looks good, I approve. Check out this thread if you agree

Update:
YES. They fit. See my follow-up post below for two example shots.

I love taking photos. Which is why I'm so glad we all get to carry cameras in our pockets these days.
I stumbled across these things: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
They're extra lens attachments for smartphones, and they go on via an adhesive magnetic ring that sits around the phone lens. I'd love to give them a whirl but... the bump.
I'm not sure they'd actually stay on because of the camera bump. So, does anyone have them? Does anyone know if they'll work?
Just sent the seller an E-Mail, I'll let you know once I've got a reply.
If anything the rubberband lens will fit, that is an awesome idea!

Yeah that thing is cool, it just doesn't seem like the results would be on par. Still, maybe as a back-up plan!
Actually, I've had insane results with a DVD burner lens and my old SE W910 ... I could see this working pretty well.
But if you're using the words "on par" you probably have some needs for quality, while I'm just mucking around with it so don't really care as long as it's functional and looks cool.
That's a pretty cool hack, GriffinSauce. Wouldn't mind seeing the results!
For the rest of you that were curious, I found a cheaper seller on eBay (about $20 AUD) and took the plunge.
I'm pleased to announce that they fit.
First shots below.
I'm a little concerned that the stick on magnetic ring that holds the lenses on will come off in my pocket, but it came with three extras. We'll see how it goes.
Just bought this on eBay. Can't wait to use it !
My gs3 is lonely on the backside... Does anybody know where I can get a new one? All I can find is the metal/aluminum ones, and I would rather have the original back... Mine is long gone.
Thanks in advance!
There's a white genuine Samsung one on eBay
I looked yesterday and I didn't see any. Only found the brushed aluminum ones. Thanks! Now to not lose it while working in the field... >_<
*EDIT*
Someone beat me on the bid, and I can't find anymore on ebay... anywhere else?
Found a site that sells the original battery covers. Mine will be here within a week, and I think I may have ordered the last one, but I will be able to confirm if the battery cover is the original or not.
The site is http://www.nutelsolutions.co.uk/spare-parts/battery-covers/genuine-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300-ceramic-white-battery-cover-gh98-23340b.html
What happened to the original battery cover?

I'm in security forces with the air force, and we currently are on 17 hour work days. So I always bring an extra battery since we generally don't have any electricity around us... I pulled off the battery cover once the first battery died, and an f16 decided to do a random engine test as I was about 45-50 feet away. Scared the crap outta me and I wound up dropping the original cover down a sewer drain...

You could try getting a Flip Cover, which replaces the back cover and also adds a screen protector that flips back and forth.

Lotta places are outta stock and I can't really use ebay cause my paypal hates me >.< Being overseas with a stateside bank account, and no proof of my stateside address has put a permanent limit on the account. Which is really annoying... If you wanna send me one for free, I would have no problem with that lol XD
My sister has an iPhone and has a case that holds her ID and credit cards in the back. I like this because even though the folio and wallet ones are nice, I find it to be annoying to have to open it up to use it. I really like this griffin Reveal case but they dont have anything for the S3. Does anyone else make something similar that's nice and slim?

I think he is talking about something a little different.
I got a case kind of like the griffin one from ebay for 2 dollars. It isn't the best fit, but it will hold 3 cards with minimal force and they stay in really well. I searched credit card case galaxy s3 and found it.
if you buy the official smasung mesh case and cut it to your liking i think youd be satisfied with teh results.

This one only fits one card.
Yes! Some great suggestions here. Even the idea of cutting the Samsung case. Thanks!

I just got my Galaxy note 8, but when I initially started using it, I noticed that the s-pen didn't seem very responsive. When I took a look at the tip, it is kind of shaped at an angle. When I look at stock pics of the s-pen online, it looks like it has a rounded dome tip on it. I don't want to have to send back the whole unit, but the pen is really the main reason I bought this tablet. Can anyone let me know if the angled tip isn't normal?
Can you post a picture of what you are talking about so we can try to help?

Here's a couple pics, not the greatest, but you can see that the tip of the S-Pen isn't uniform.

Please, if anyone with a Galaxy note 8 can chime in and let me know if this is normal or if there is something wrong with this pen.
That doesn't look right...
Mine is like in the stock photos with a rounded nib, not like the one in the OP's photos with an angled nib...I have the n5110 model. What about you?

I have the GT-N5110, the brown color one from amazon.
I had one of those malformed tips as well on my Note 8 (n5100) and had it replaced with a new one (which looks and behaves alright). Just contact your reseller or Samsung for a replacement.

I agree, Amazon has a great return policy. I would contact them and ask for a replacement pen. If not I am sure Samsung will cover it with your warranty. Best of luck!
