no effect on signal and I do not use NFC, so I can not comment. It is made of all plastic, so it should not have any negative effects.
Look nice
Looks good, any other styles available?

couple of different styles/colors. just search ebay for galaxy s3 battery cover. they most, all, come from china, so it takes a while to get them. they are listed for the international version, but they fit just fine.

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 have not seen a quality case yet that has a kickstand but I am sure they will be coming VERY quickly as all of the carriers will have this phone within the next few weeks...
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.

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.....

Just bought this battery. I've been using it about 3 days and followed battery calibration instructions. So far I'm really not that impressed by it. I've heard with extended batteries it takes a few days to settle in...

So I hope yesterday was an indication as to how this battery will perform long term. We'll see.

Has anyone found a protective cover that will fit the new case for the bigger battery. I always like to protect the phone just in case it is dropped!

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.

Or just peel it of and put it on your new case since it is a sticker and will peel right off and sick to the new case.

This is true but aluminum covers will not work even if you do this.

You can also buy the nfc chip on ebay for about $4. It will stick right in the stock location.

it does but only lose about one bar so if your in an area where you only have one or two bars you might have zero bars.I have the case
This case is pretty slick but too bad it causes signal loss
