Note 4 Accessories...

Does the battery have a different model number? Would have thought they are the same, but I find The Young Ones to be intellectual humor :)

The spare battery has the same part number, but, the batteries do indeed have serial numbers, which are located below the part number.

Smart move by SAMSUNG, should aid in curbing the warranty claims on counterfeit merchandise.

I also noticed that SAMSUNG has changed their device registration process. It's similar to HTC's, where a device is automatically registered on the day of manufacture, & is assigned to the buyer once the purchase is made.

1-I wanted the Zagg Tempered Glass Screen Protector ($39.99) and I read reviews that it doesn't fully cover the entire flat screen of the phone. I guess I should wait until Zagg re-designs it. For now, I'm left with being cautious with the screen and have left the plastic stock film the phone came with. Any suggestions?


2-I'm looking for a case that is minimalistic. I want to show off the look of the phone but I need to protect the lens of the phone, thus, I need a case that offers some thickness so that the lens of the phone doesn't get scratches. As we all know, once you get a scratch on your lens, your photos will come out horrible.

3-What do you guys think about those aluminum metal bumpers sold on e-bay that come from China? Seems like it would add a nice touch to the phones look and probably provide some protection (a lift) to the lens of the phone?


i have the bumper from china-- it def. does not provide any lift on the lens; it looks nice, but (probably) only protects the edges from scrapes, etc.

I love how much my galaxy s4 factory back cover doesn't slide. I had an s5 for a day before I couldn't stand how slick it's back cover was. The note also seems to suffer from this dumb idea.
Is there a back cover replacement that doesn't slide out of my hand?
I DO NOT want an entire case, that makes the phone even bigger.

I'm still awaiting for a nice minimalistic case for the Verizon Galaxy Note 4. It's been almost a month and nothing has been out yet. I did like the Verus ones, but they are out of stock and were having issues with the power button/volume rockers and I believe they are going to be revised.

Caseology cases do not line up with the Verizon mic holes and Spigen neo-hybrid also had issues with their case not lining up with the mic holes. Those three brands look great, but having mic or volume rocker/power button issues.

I e-mailed and heard back from Caseology and Spigen that their cases will be revised for the Verizon models, but the wait will be too long.

What do you guys recommend?

I can't believe I can't find this anywhere.

Looking for a vehicle mount with just a clamp for the connection, and a 6" or 8" sturdy gooseneck. The perfect spot for my car is just under the cd player, where there's an opening for CDs or what not. There's a ledge, and it'd be perfect to clamp a car mount there.

Or maybe an adhesive one that sticks right to the stereo area?

any help here?
