Looking for good case

Can anyone recommend me a good case for my note 3?
I used a Otterbox Defender for my note 2, but the Note 3 defender disappoints, as the belt clip is horrible.

Are there any good cases that are basically like otterbox defender. Meaning they can clip to my belt? The note 3 belt clip can only let me clip it with the screen facing outwards (not something I like), and even then both clipping it and unclipping it is nearly impossible to do with one hand, requiring two. Which is a big big step down from what I had with Note 2.
 
You should check urban armor gear. They make stylish and protective cases that have military drop test certificate. I bought one for my note 3 and i am so happy with my purchase. Definitely the best case that offers the most protection.
 
Not to put down any other case, as the only one I have tried is the Otterbox
Defender, however, I have no idea why you stated that you can only store the phone on the belt with the face out? I have had one since they were available for the Note 3. I clip it in to the holster screen in. I have no difficulty doing so. I also have no difficulty clipping it to my belt or unclipping it when necessary.

If you already own it, I suggest you give it another try clipping it in screen first. :)
 
I have an otterbox commuter case. Doesn't have a clip built in but I bought leather pouches that fit on my belt off amazon.

Amazon.com: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Note II Horizontal Leather Case with Magnetic closure with belt clip and belt loops (Plus Size will Fit w/ Otterbox Commuter on) + Cell Phone Antenna Booster: Cell Phones & Accessories

If you're like me and bump your belt a lot then buy extras. The stitching isn't all that great on the belt loops. But it's big enough to hold the note 3 with otterbox on it.

Well, 2 things:
1st I cant clip it face in because it feels like its not "reaching" far enough for the prong on the clip to slip into the indentation on the case.
2nd, when I had note 2, the top bart of the belt clip was longer. So when I tried to unclip my phone, I used the base of my index finger to lift the top part abit, and then pull the phone out. But now, the top part is shorter and I am unable to lift it, leaving me with no clue how to get the phone out.
