Galaxy Note 3 - Case & Covers Thread

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Anyone try the Spigen Bounce or Spigen Slim Armor?

Posted via Android Central App

Mine is the slim Armour and it provides a very snug fit. The buttons are also easy to access with the case on. And no I won't test how well it protects the phone.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Question about the Neo Hybrid for those who own it or might know.

I've just been reading some comments about the paint chipping off of the plastic band for some owners. Are all colors painted, or are some just colored plastic?

I'm mainly looking into the white, which I was assuming wouldn't need to be painted since it's just white? Possibly looking at the champagne gold also, but I haven't seen one in anything besides the stock pictures, so I'm worried it may look too tacky with a white note 3.

Thanks!

No paint chipping yet. I have the Reventon yellow band. I'm also pretty careful with my phone even though it's in a case. I'll update if it does start wearing or chipping. That'll be really disappointing.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Are you speaking of the Neo Hybrid? If so, I thought the rubber section was all one piece, how is the back slippery but the front not? Maybe I'm misunderstanding.

Yes the Neo Hybrid is the case I am speaking about. The "soft" part is indeed a single piece but the sides are soft and grippy whereas the back is hard and very slick. Looks to be cast somewhat like an automotive dash where one surface is foam and the other is un-blown dense and hard. I found it to be a real disappointment over the phone back cover which is better looking and has a great feel to it allowing me to hold it securely and comfortably.

I have the Silver Satin. So far no wear and tear. It has held up well so far.

Does the Silver satin feel plastic? Mines is in the mail.

Thanks, this helps out a lot! Back to searching....

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

I have a Verizon Note 3, and purchased a Tech 21 Impact Tactical Smokey Case from the T mobile website. It is a great case if you are looking for a TPU style case that has grip but does not stick in your pocket, and offers some drop protection. The case is matte gray with a slight orange band showing through around the edge of the phone. There are several other models coming on the Tech21 website. I emailed Tech21 yesterday asking when the other cases would be out, but have not received a reply yet...

That case looks very nice. Do you have it yet? And if so, does it raise the camera enough so it doesn't touch the table?

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

I agree and if and when Spigen makes a version of THIS CASE for the Note 3 Ill be all over it ...

I'm waiting patiently for this,even better if the make a wireless charge version.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Here are a few pics of my leather pouch/Spigen case. Taken with a galaxy Tab so please no debating how sucky the camera is....

 

[Swartscough1]

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Yes, I have been using it for about a week now, and yes it does raise the camera just enough so it does not hit the table. I had the clear version of the same case on my Note 2 and really liked it as well. Fits great, and offers thin protection.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

My Spigen Neo Hybrid came today. Really fast cause I ordered it the 18th of October and it had a delivery date as far out as the 5th of November. Love the styling, fit is perfect. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 because I wish it was more grippy.

Question for those with the wallet style cases... on all of them the credit cards touch the screen when they're closed. This doesn't scratch the screen?

Nice pics.


The back looks like a soft rubber. Does it attract finger prints?

It chipped. Really small but I can see it. I wonder if Spigen will send me a new band?

Thanks!
What's the added bulk like?

I got my spigen slim armor today too. Solid feeling case but certainly more bulky and heavier than cimo or Cruzerlite, but those are designed to be thin tpu. The slim armor seems to give good protection. Overall, pleased with the $6.50 I spent on the spigen slim armor

That silver looks awesome. If Spigen doesn't send me a new band I may just paint it myself.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

I just put on my white slim armor case.....It looks nice, I bought it because amazon was running a special so I ordered one and got it in 3 days (today).

I am struggling with the new width of depth the case adds to the Note 3

I bought the black combo from Verizon on the day I got the phone because I refused to walk around with it naked. That case while bland did the job and did not add any size (depth or width) to the phone.

Two days later I stopped in an AT&T store and found and bought the Black S-View case....perfect fit (you take off the Verizon back), secure and looks nice. I think because I have been using the s-view case the slim armor feels uncomfortable in my hands....btw....I have large hands.

I am waiting for the day Spigen (fingers crossed) makes the slim armor view .....now that is the case that I want!

It doesn't scratch mine. Which makes sense considering it's plastic versus gorilla glass.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

My new case. Love it. Only took a week to receive it. Ordered it from Amazon on 10/21 and got it 10/25.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Glad you posted picture of that case was just about to post I have the wireless cool puck and generic note 3 wireless receiver inside my Spigen and it is working great. No bulge on cover and as of its first attemp at charging will let it go tonight but it came on and said I was wirelessly charging, and puck gave one beep to signify hookup with blue light. In the morning is all is well and 100% will edit post but for now am real pleased. after a little sleep picked note 3 up off the cool puck at 100% not hot just a little warm. Very pleased now to find a spot to just lay phone down at night pick up in the morning. charger is KoolPuck from fonesalesman and receiver is docooler Qi standard for note 3 both off amazon $51 bucks, now anyone want a black non wireless oem s-view?
