Picked up a Rose Gold one today. Now that I have it...I'd say it's worth the 149. I'm glad I didn't jump on the full retail price, when I first got my Note 3. Or even the $199 sale at A4C.
I'm a little disappointed in the Rose Gold though. For whatever reason, maybe it was the best buy lighting, but I remembered it being more white gold/rose looking than more "gold" looking. I called Best Buy, to see what the exchange policy is for Deal of the Day items. Since they're currently out of stock everywhere that I checked, I'd be able to exchange the Rose Gold (within 30 days Elite return/exchange policy) for a different color, but it would have to be for one of the colors that's currently on sale today. So, the only options for exchange would be Oatmeal, Lime, and Orange. That's "if" they get back in stock.
I'm glad that I'm an Elite member again because the 14 day exchange/return was killing me. This will at least give me some time with the Gear and if they get back in stock with the Oatmeal somewhere, then I'll just exchange it later down the line, if the Rose Gold doesn't grow on me.
