Anybody have any idea where I could get an aluminum or nicer battery cover replacement?
I don't like the feel of the cheap plastic on the galaxy range.

fair enough, but it looks cheap.
im looking for a metal back cover as well. preferably a white one
There are only cases, but no back covers that are metal. It would only damage your phone if you get the battery cover off of it with metal.

I am hoping they release the ZAGG leather skins like they have for other phones. Once that is applied, nothing else is needed!

have you really had a SGS3 yet to say that you dont like it??? Geez.... have some patience and you might find that its much better than it looks. Besides getting a metal or alloy piece will be much more scratch prone and that is not something you would like to have!
Alright calm yer beans I was just curious, like im sure many others are.

sure, im curius as well, to see why half the reviewers of the S3 say the rear cover is brilliant and nothing like the photos show, and the other half insist that its 'plasticky'
then i can decide about covers. However i have already preordered some a couple of cases to go with the phone anyway as im sure it will be a while before they will ever make proper rear covers to replace.

Hmmm, not a fan tbh. I've been using mine with no cover for 2 days now and I'm loving it! So thin and light. Though I'm going to order a carbon fibre cover (to sit over existing cover) just in case I drop it or someone else does.

Those aren't "covers" though, they're replacement "backs".
Found that seller just a second ago and was going to post it myself. Going to order a couple and see what they're like.

Here are couple close-ups of the replacement covers for anyone that's interested.
A metal case would really screw up your reception, and stop a lot of things like GPS and NFC from working. Take a look at the old transformers

As some of you know, neo hybrid has some volume issues. Here are some videos. Already trying to return this (neo hybrid infinity white), I actually preferred and bought the Lumi Sparkling Blue (matches my theme, hehe~) so that is being shipped today. Some did say that one works better (?), not sure but time will tell.
Design wise, I LOVE it. Just wish I would have a perfect working case.

I purchased the Lumi Sparkling Blue and have the same issue.
try taking the case off and with the back of a pen or something, pushing outward on the inside of the volume rocker to stretch it out

Just shave down the inside, it's a simple fix I did on mine. Works perfect now. I know you probably want a case that works right out of the box but I think it's worth an effort.

If you look inside of the case where the buttons are, there are little nubs that sticks out. I'm guessing SGP made it little too long, so just cut it off or trim it till it meets your desire.
I had posted picture of my case on other thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29133860 check post #61, you will notice where I cut the little nubs.

Was a bit skeptical but I love the look of the case too much to return it. Used a razor blade to shave down the nubs and now the issue is gone, just lose the clickyness of the buttons. Thanks

Small bump for this thread... Got my cases from SGP, ordered 2, one in marble white and one in shinny grass, and the green one has this exact problem...
Can anyone confirm that they shaved off a bit of the button and it worked?

Yeaaah I would not trust anything a "Samsung rep" would say at a Best Buy. I'm pretty sure they are just like a Best Buy employee but with a Samsung shirt on. The one by my house hardly knew anything about the Note 2014. And it's his job to know.

By George I think you're right.... Something sure doesn't look right about that. At this point I have a $5 MOKO case that I'm pretty happy with and a $3 Poetic case due in any day now that I think will be just fine. I like the look of the smart cover but can't rationalize $60 for it.

Yeah it does. Although I rarely use the camera I would rather it be this way than the other. Opening the other way (like last years version) occludes the view of the camera. If it weren't for the stupid home button it wouldn't make a difference as far as being upside down.

I just picked up one of these today. And yes, it does work like the one on the Tab 3. Overall I'd say it's pretty nice. Very compact and seems stable enough on a range of surfaces.
Just got my watch. Let me just upload the pictures. I got nothing else to say.
Thats some Gorge. (Gorgeous mutha) I would have gotten the black if I could've gotten it with a black mesh band,which was in advertisement pics,but doesn't exist. Suck.
The pictures really do speak for themselves. Looks fabulous in black. Thanks for sharing.

Local Jewelry store. Cost about 35.00. I cannot buy a band or anything aesthetic without seeing it in person first. I tried about 10 different bands then settled on this one.
This is it here but it was half that cost in the store: http://classic.jewelershowcase.com/products/59-0140/?groupId=24256
I almost went with the two tone first but then decided on the monotone.
I am BACK lol. Could not pass up amazon prime deal on this beauty so i got me another one. Just beautiful.
