Went to Verizon store and picked up a Incipio Feather Ultra Slim case. Problem was that no matter how I applied the case, the upper left hand corner was always sticking out and if the phone dropped, phone would have popped out for sure. Rather than return it to the Verizon store, I decided to find another one and get Incipio to honor a warranty replacement, which they did. So I went to a authorized Verizon reseller and they had a Ventev case that was silicon with a hard plastic back. Perfect fit and doesn't feel like much damage (if any) would happen if I accidentally dropped the phone. Coupled with a Spiegen screen protector, I can put this phone in my pocket with confidence. However I am waiting for my wallet case that is coming to the house tomorrow. This one has a snap on button instead of a magnetic flap. I dunno, maybe I am old school but I don't trust magnets of any power around expensive electronics.
I am shocked that there weren't any wide variety of cases available for the Note 3. Even Samsung ridiculously high priced offerings weren't available.
