Default Black phone, white back cover. Anyone tried?

Has anyone tried instaling white back cover on black phone? Or putting white foil/carbon foil? Like this one:

Yeah, it works fantastically. The only drawback to the flip case is that when you use the camera it can be awkward. Other than that, it does a great job protecting the screen, and it looks epic. People at the gym ask me about it, and when I'm around town people comment.

I'd say go for it.

Hmm, I'm not talking about flipcover

Those are just stickers for back cover of the phone...

I've been using my black Note with a white battery door for a few weeks now. I prefer this particular combination, mostly because I don't like white bezel around black screen. The deep blacks of amoled blend really well with the black bezel, in my opinion.

I ordered the white battery door through ebay and it feels like the actual samsung battery door for the white Note. It has the same stickers and same thickness/feel of the original dark battery door. One major difference is the white one is glossy, while the old black (dark blue?) one is textured.

If I managed to attach them, there should be some photos of the black Note with white back, on white and black backgrounds.

this is the white door you see in the photos:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...m=170750509333

it took about a week for it to arrive from HK. Not the cheapest battery door out there, but back when I bought it, there weren't this many alternatives.
