Galaxy Note 3 - Case & Covers Thread

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Nice pics.


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

Yes it attracts finger prints like crazy. I have the other Spigen coming in the mail. That one has less of the black rubber back.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

So far there's been a few people reporting their Spigen Neo's chipping. Anyone who owns the Slim Armor having this happen as well?

I wonder how the Spigen Bounce case is? Seems like a good middle ground between the other two, for some protection while still being slim and possibly not as slippery as some have been reporting the Neo is.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

I'm trying out the S view cover. I had it on my note 2 but didn't like it because the window was too small and you couldn't really do anything. Does anyone has the S view? Does the pleather get less stiff over time? Right now it's hard to fold the cover back and it not getting stuck that way.
 
Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Finally got this today and it's more of a dark raspberry color...but it's all good.

I was a little afraid that it was going to be obnoxiously pink. LOL

How well does it fit. I was looking and I like the purple. Some TPU cases are not a good fit and I like them to fit tight.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Has any of you used clips like these on your cases?

THECLIP.COM - Stronger belt clips, holster clips, and...
Does it work well for something the size of the Note 3?

It's pretty snug & I like the grip. It's just smooth enough without being slippery & the details on the back add just enough flash.

The cutouts are pretty roomy.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Well my phone in the spigen slim Armour survived about a 5 foot drop onto a tile floor, so I guess it was worth the long wait and crappy service.
 
Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

So, I seem to be collecting cases. I originally got the Seidio Surface case with holster (that's what I had on my Note 2 as well), but wanted a tempered glass screen protector. Seidio made one for the Note 2, but has not decided if they will have one for the Note 3 (may not have sold well for them). I purchased a glass screen protector and installed it, but putting the case back on tore the protector right off the phone. I loved the feel of the case and the stickyness. So, I got Spigen Neo Hybrid and their glass screen protector. Loved the screen protector, loved the look of the case, hated the feel of it, the tapered edges make the phone easier to hold, so after just 4 days, I went a bought the Samsung S-view case. Loving the feel, like the fact the screen is protected, wish it actually protected the back, not sure if I will get used to the flip cover. I'll check back in, in about a week and provide an update.

Hope I don't end up spending more on cases than I did on the phone.
 
Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Just picked up this Incipio case from my local AT&T store. I like that it covers the screen yet also protects the rest of the phone. It definitely adds some bulk to the phone, but you can take the flip case off and still have a little protection from the inner plastic case. The power and volume buttons are a little more difficult to get to with this case now, but I'll get used to it. I'll update after a few days with it.

Something else worth mentioning, Spigen said on their FB page that they are working on the Slim Armor View case. No telling how long it will be before it shows up, but it's one I would be interested in as well.

I am still a ways away, I bought the cimo for $10, Caseology for $3.50 and spigen slim armor for $6.50. I bought the note 3 for $90. Can't believe I missed the $1 spigen neo hybrid case.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

If you read the Samsung owners manual (first time I've opened one in forever) you'll find within the first few pages a statement from Samsung NOT to put a screen protector on the Note 3. I personally have never used one on any phone as they are quite unnecessary with Gorilla glass 1 2 and 3 anyway, look awful and ruin the experience for both viewing and S-Pen.
***URGENT***

In case you missed it on Amazon.com they are listing the Spigen Neo-Hybrid for the Galaxy Note 3 in Dante Red for $1.00, yes $1.00 all other colors are full retail. I jumped on it and ordered a second case as well.

Also they are selling the SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Screen Protector Clear [Crystal] [4-PACK] **Value Pack** Premium Front Screen Protector + Back Protector for Galaxy Note III for $1.00 as well. Jump on these asap.

Did they say when it would be released? I'm assuming it's just a slim Armour with a flap on the front?
 
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.

I FINALLY broke down, and ordered this exact case this morning. Thanks for the pictures as this case looks awesome! I also ordered a Skinomi screen protector for $.01 I remember ordering a Skinomi case for my Nexus 4 but never using it. However for literally a penny, I couldn't say no!

Plastic screen protectors maybe, but tempered glass screen protectors work just like there is nothing there and spen works great

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

What glass protector? I have a mime and was looking at buying the Seidio Surface.

Re: Note 3 Case Thread.

Believe it or not, your note 3 will work with and without a screen protector.
