Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Giving back to the community who helped me transition smoothly to Android after eight years of Blackberry(still miss the physical keyboard!), here are pictures of the UAG case:

-It adds significant heft to the phone and doubles its thickness.

-Correct me if I'm wrong, but our phones have three microphones but I can only pinpoint two openings in the case for two. If true, whether that affects calling sound quality remains to be heard.

-The protruding lip protecting the screen is adequate.

-There is slight bulging of the case around the volume rocker, but otherwise the case fits tightly and well and the buttons are responsive.

-It doesn't sit completely flat on a flat surface.

-The included screen shield is arched/bent in packaging: not sure whether it was intended to make installation easier or a packaging issue.

I considered the Spigen neo case but pictures of rubbed off painted plastic bumper and the fingerprint magnet of the back cover made me reconsider. UAG's plastics are injection-molded with stain color throughout, not painted.

I think it has two microphones one at the top one at the bottom.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Yes, the third mic is on the lower right side near the Spen. You saying they covered that one? Can't tell from your pictures. I was really looking forward to getting one of these cases but I wonder if that will have a negative effect on noise cancellation or audio recording if the mic is covered.

I stand corrected.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

No need? It's a mass-produced good that's rather attainable.



Great review. Agreed on being bulky. I keep my phones for a long time as well(averaging four years) so hopefully this will keep it in tact.



Yes, in that rugged look which I'm not entirely sold on and many hate. I really want a minimalist solid aluminum bumper case but the issues with reception keep me at bay.



Yeah, I'm looking for this third microphone and cannot find it. I don't see any openings near the pen.



So that's the noise-cancelling mic, thanks for fighting my ignorance. Where is the third mic, then? Second mic is clearly right of the usb port in the picture.

It's on the side where the pin is.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

On the top there is a headphone jack, mic, and ir blaster.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

I buy "outfits" for my phone, like a teenager buys outfits for school.

Here's one I got today for 8$ on Amazon. Caseology Black leather hybrid.

It adds minimal bulk to phone and has a soft leather feel in the back. TPU bumper for protection and a minor lip in front which is good. Nice feel in the hands.

Pros- classy look, nice thick protection, feels good in hand.

Cons- back is slightly sleek, caseology logo on back.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Good eye, thanks for pointing it out to me. As the second pic shows, there is no cutout for that mic but there does seem to be a gap in the case that seals a small volume of space when the phone is in the case. I have forwarded this discussion to UAG.

That's a great looking and functioning case.. I have a had couple open type cases, but I prefer the ones that cover up the buttons..Some cases cover the case, but leave the on/off and the volume button expose.. Whereas, this case and the Spigen Bounce, the one I have, they cover up the buttons..

It's a real good quality case....I think if it was priced higher, people would be talking about it more....lol

I just received my Seidio active (I don't remember the name) combo case. I love it! And it has holes for all the mics too.

It actually looks good in your pictures. Where did you get yours from and how long did it take? I ordered it from Amazon, through a seller though, so I'm hoping it won't take forever to come.

It stops being practical on larger cases

Is that the slim fit case? If so, it doesn't look slim fitting nor does it sound like it based on your description.

Glad to see it fit well though, my Caseology didn't fit well, they sent me a replacement, but same problem. They didn't offer me another case, just gave a refund.

It's not too bulky. The TPU bumper is thick which may give it that perception. But it doesn't make the phone larger (as weird as that sounds)....I've owned UAG and otter boxes for previous phones, now those are larger.....
