Best case available for the N3 now?

Be careful. If you get the Samsung back for wireless charging many cases won't fit. Otterbox is one of them. Spigen Neo Hybrid is another, I had to send mine back for a refund.
 
I got a Seidio Dilex case with the Holster today. While I like the size better than my OtterBox Defender I can see where the OtterBox Defender gives better protection. :-\
 
My top 3
Otterbox Commuter (mine)
Seidio Dilex (wife's)
Spigen Slim Armor (will probably get soon)
 
It is definitely a nice looking case, but two things concerned me about it. First is the loss in reception, 1-2 bars is huge if you are already in a weak signal area and second is the hassle of removing the case to swap the battery out. Not something I want to deal with since I did just get a spare batter/charger bundle.

If you are worried about signal, I would get a mesh case. Signal decrease should be around 5-10db for the non mesh version.

After reading many reviews I like a minimal type care I went with spigen from amazon. I received it in two days for under 20 bucks. Great quality

I got Otter Box Commuter. I drop my phone in front of people to show how protected it is. Not bulky, and fits perfectly in my front and back jeans pocket.

I would love to see there faces. Ps that case makes it difficult to fit in and out of your pocket.

Isn't the Otterbox going to make the thing a beast in your pocket?

That was the problem I had with OtterBox. My N2 I had came with an OtterBox (bought it off Ebay). That thing felt like a freakin' paperweight. I went to Verizon and they had a case by Incipio that fit the N2 very similarly to the OtterBox, but didn't add so much bulk. Now with my N3, I just got another Incipio. Love it!
 
So for those of you who have multiple cases, would you post a picture of them side by side and top to bottom so we can get an idea of how big or slim the different brands are? Also, any info on wireless charging would be appreciated.

I've currently got a neo hybrid case and a Qi wireless charging card behind the factory back door. Wireless charging still works, but you've got to move it to just the right spot to get it to charge.
 
My girlfriend just bought me a Seidio case for my Note 3. Man The case really feels great in the hand. This is the best case I had for the note 3. It also comes with a clip.

I am tough on phones, really hard actually. I own a small company where I am in the field a lot and need a case that will protect this guy when the inevitable happens.

I don't want a case that is the size of a brick but the slimmest case possible that gives me functionality to slip in and out of my pocket w/out sticking to the sides and reliable protection when it will eventually hit the ground.

I got a set battery with charger from Onite on Amazon,until now,I'm satisfied with them.
 
Otterbox will be the best to keep it protected but it adds a lot to the weight of the phone. I bought a Slim Armor by Spigen which is cross between an Otterbox and a Slim style case. The other day, I set my phone on top of my mail on my counter top. I walked away and heard the phone fall to the ground. It hit my hard wood floor pretty good. Picked it up and was expecting a cracked screen or other. No damage was done to the phone.

I had Spigen products when I had my Iphone and loved them. The next item on agenda, is the Spigen Glas.tr screen protector. Then the whole thing will be protected and it will be just like typing on the screen glass.

What this person said....I have that exact setup and my phone is slim but 100% protected.

If you want a little more protection you can check out the UAG case. Slightly more bulk (still not otterbox level) but a little more protected than the Slim Armor.
