Round 2. Looks pretty darn ugly, lol. I'm just playing with it a bit until the weekend when I can decide what I want to do. Still has the white double sided tape and my mounting discs making it look ugly.
Can you put like a aluminum back? Or are you taking something and going to be coloring it

I'm going to paint it from the inside, so it's still glass on the outside. I can paint it any color, but am just going to go with a nice glossy black as I like the stealth look. I'm still debating removing the aluminum frame and painting that black as well.

Liked it better in first pics....

Yeah there really is nothing appealing about the inside. The wireless charging pad kind of covers everything in the center anyway. Was a cool experiment, now I get to paint it black and can enjoy not having the Samsung logo.

Updated back cover, painted it a nice gloss black on the inside of the cover. So on the outside it's still the same gorilla glass and looks/feels factory. No Samsung logo, yayy!!! I have no plans to put a skin on this, I'm VERY impressed with the gorilla glass and highly doubt I can scratch it even if I try.

It looks much better in person than pictures, pics didn't come off great from my SP4. In the pics it kind of looks matte, it's not it's fully glossy. I'm very happy how it turned out.

Looks great! Don't miss that Samsung logo at all!
Did you make a pure black? Not like the bluish black it came with?

I actually use the pen so wouldn't want to risk breaking it as a kickstand. Makes more sense to get a case with kickstand built in that's probably cheaper than to replace the pen.

I want my marshmallow update!

I don't think I'll get the note 6 this year I may jump back to iPhone since I had note 4 and now note 5. I've had bad cravings for the iPhone this time around after I got the note 5.

I just can't leave it now knowing the screen is way better and the camera.

I love my Note 5, I only wish it had an IR blaster but I seem to be in a minority on that one, so freaking useful.
And Samsung, hurry up and bring Samsung pay to New Zealand, I'll probably have the Note 6 before it gets here...

I was hoping the Note 6 would go 4K, my VR would look stunning with double the resolution, I dont really care about SD cards and removable batteries anymore....

What happened to the package disabled pro for Samsung app? Can't find it in the play store anymore.

Any place to source apk?

It looks like it was removed from the playstore. I googled it and found the PS link but when I clicked on it is could not be found.

How is it that google can do that when you've already purchased an app? Same thing happened with JNES. At least with Apple, even if they remove an app, if you bought it you can still redownload it from the App Store or at the very least back it up to iTunes.

Can you? I bought bioshock on the app store, and it is no longer available for me, and I didn't make a itunes backup. I tried to get a refund, Apple refused.

Have you checked your purchase history? I have several apps where if I look through the app store they are unavailable, but if I go through my purchased tab they're there. One of my favorite games is motion X poker that hasn't been available since the iphone 3gs, but it'd right there in my purchase history for me to download.

I'll be sure to check that, the next time I have an apple ios device. Thanks for the advice.

Just rooted my Note 5. One of the easiest processes I have ever done. It's just one step to upload a new kernel to the phone and the go to the play store and install Super SU. I then installed FDroid so that I could block ads with Adaway.

Samsung Pay started annoying me every few minutes to get started with it so I disabled it.

You can also use adguard on non rooted phones.
