Yes please sir!.
I have the Neo Hybrid in silver which looks similar but it's plastic.
You may tempt me to treat myself
Edit; Looks the nuts in gun metal.

No problems, I'll get some pics on my camera when I get home 
You won't be disappointed I dont think, I'm VERY impressed with mine. The case comes in two parts, the rubbery bit that surrounds the sides and the back of the phone, and then the metal band that sits around the edge and snaps into place.

Thank you, It's only £16.99 on Spigen's site which is £5 cheaper that the rainforest.
What colour did you go for?

I think I paid that from eBay too - I got mine in red
Nice, I look forward to the pictures.
A couple of quick snaps of the case itself, unfortunately I'm having to wait for my camera to charge 
The two parts to the case together. As mentioned, the metal 'bumper' band slides away from the rubber case to aid in installation. The rubber is quite tough so it should take a bit of a beating.
Here's the back of the case, it's got a nice textured finish and does feel secure in the hand - this was my main concern really as a few of the official pics don't quite show the textured finish off all too well. The cut outs are in exactly the right places too so the heart sensor, flash, speaker, S-Pen, and ports are all easily accessible. You'll notice the metal band has been seperated here, I hoped maybe you could use it with and without the band, but it's not the case sadly, the plastic case has been designed with the metal band in mind so there's a lip around where the screen is for the band to sit securely. It should stop the band from coming loose too.
A quick pic of the metal band. I went for red, but there's a couple of colours available. The corners protrude slightly as they do on the Note 4 so it all feels very nice in the hand, the metal is sturdy and solid, and has a nice 'cold' feeling to it. The cut is perfect and the silver bezel is nicely polished - again, it keeps the same design as the Note 4 so it doesn't look too out of place. You may notice that the headphone jack port and USB ports are quite large - I believe this is on purpose - the headphone one is so you can plug in bigger jack connectors like those found on Beats headphones.
And a pic of the bottom end of the metal band - again showing the larger ports top and bottom. The buttons on the sides - power, vol up and down have the same metal feel and finish as the rest of the band, impressive.
I'm going to get some pics of it tonight with the phone in place on my HTC One M7 so apologies if the image quality isn't great.
Generally, I'm very happy with the case, it feels nice and has a great design. All of the ports and holes are exactly where they need to be, and you can still access the S-Pen easily thanks to the oversized holes - I don't have a set of headphones with a larger than normal connector, but I'd imagine they'll fit perfectly too.
The rubber part of the case protrudes above the screen a small amount (0.8mm apparently) which means the screen isn't touching a desk if you turn it upside for example.
The only slight negative I've got with the case is that the USB port opening has a slightly rough edge - part of the design rather than the finish/manufacturing process, which can get a little annoying if you hold the phone in one hand and have your little finger to keep it from slipping out your hand. Easily fixable though.

Awesome thanks for taking the time to post the pictures mate, I've just ordered the gun metal version. Looking forward to getting it.
Decided to go for it. Bought from mobilephonesdirect - £469.99 hoping everythings ok. Won't be here until Monday unfortunatelyI hate waiting for deliveries
Excited
Ordered! I was going to wait for the s6 but after looking at some videos of people holding it decided i really wanted something bigger,i got the gold one as i couldn't be bothered to wait and want it tomorrow lol
Anyway i have seen on a box that it says european sim only,i plan on using it out of the EU,i believe it only needs to be activated with a uk sim for example then you are free to use it elsewhere?
Also hoping it's the snapdragon version as it's better for games so i hear
To be honest I've noticed a bit of this now and then too I must admit, especially when trying to open the Gallery app, it doesn't bother me though

Even after a factory reset?

Cm 12 rom is out for the note 4 now.
Question...
I have a rooted note4 on KK. Can someone point me in the right direction for updating to Lollipop by flashing the German image? is Odin the way to go?
Does CF-autoroot work to get root back?
Is xposed supported?
Thanks

Should have been here by now so one would have to assume that they are still sorting issues.
There is, but only for new dropbox accounts. If you log in with an already existing account you get nothing!

My current 48GB is being taken away from me this week so if i do get the note, I'll just set up a new account and transfer all my files over.
