Galaxy Note 3 Spigen Case Revealed!!!

I think I'm holding out for a good kickstand case. I found myself watching a lot of movies/tv shows on the note 2 and having a kickstand makes that a lot more enjoyable

From memory this warning was also in the Note1/2 manual. I use protectors on both of my Notes with absolutely no issues.

You're absolutely right--it was.
Personally I probably never use another screen protector ever again in life.
I find them to be a waste of money (but that's MY opinion people)!

What do you guys think of the Spigen Neo Hybrid ($34.99 on Amazon) vs the Slim Armour. The Neo Hybrid looks even more form fitting. Sort thinking that might be good, and as mentioned earlier if the phone was placed display down, the screen would not be touching.

I find the Spigen Neo Hybrid a gorgeous very tempting case. Here's my take on it, as compared to my much loved Slim Armor model.

The Neo Hybrid appears to have a flat back. After owning iPhones 4, 4S & 5, I can convey that they're flat backs makes them very slippery to hold and a bit uncomfortable. Built for style and a very sleek profile, I doubt the Neo Hybrid is as protective as the Slim Armor.

Ideally a slightly convex back makes a smartphone very comfortable and secure to hold. In addition if you look at the Slim Armor in Red, White or Blue on their site, it's easy to notice the Black Rubber (TPU) ends. These are cleverly designed to absorb impact should the phone be dropped. The TPU inner liner also serves as the "lip" that surrounds the entire perimeter of the front, thereby protecting the phone when placed face down on a desk or table as I do when at lunch etc.

Finally, Spigen's precise, very high quality manufacturing makes the two piece Slim Armor appear as a single one piece case once installed. I've had nothing but a secure comfortable and pleasant experience from the Slim Armor cases I have.

Hopefully I've answered your concerns :)

after reading more (on the Spigen site) I started to wonder if the slim armor was indeed better protection. Why would the neo hybrid cost more then, for less protection. It is more stylish around the outside edges. But the slim armor has more of the glossy finish material around the TPU.

the TPU does wrap the whole N3 with the neo.. and there is the plastic also. Which should absorb (possibly break then) if dropped on the edge.

i just dunno. I like the accent color to the neo versus the "wow look at me" color on the slim.

The color choice "Metal Slate" is a matte color that resists fingerprints & provides a better grip than the other four choices, all of which are glossy. In addition the TPU used is also matte. I have both Red & Metal Slate Colors, thus I speak from first hand experience.

if I go with the Slim.. its the Metal Slate that I'd be going with. Was debating on if I want a black or white phone. Had black for the last bunch of them. Though with a case, the color wont show.
 
Amazon is one of the select few that Spigen sells their cases through. They are also the first to offer significant discounts as inventory permits.com. An example is, I got my slate gray Slim Armor for my S4 for 45% off.

I'm very happy to report that as of today, Amazon is taking preorders on Note 3 cases. I ordered mine immediately.
