Note 3 cases?

I got in a hurry earlier and misspoke. I have the Commuter, not the Defender. It provides plenty of protection for me and is a bit lighter.

Spigen Bounce case i did not like it

tried the Slim Armor, and although it fits and looks nicely, it does not 'dock' well...another waste for me...
 
My vote is for the Otterbox Commuter with Spigen tempered glass. I really like having the safe feeling with all that protection.
 
I've been looking for a nice/quality brown leather folio type case/replacement battery cover rather than one that the phone sits in.

I have some spigen slim armour (which arent slim) and various others but nothing that looks real quality.

I noticed Noreve announced some Horizon cases yesterday which look top quality but can't find any for the N3 just yet.

Any ideas? I don't want a window case, it must be leather, slim and preferably a battery cover replacement.
 
I have the pink replacement back by ANLEY. Its called a Bubble pack battery cover replacement and fits more snuggly than the original back did. Unfortunately, it doesn't come in brown but it does come in quite a variety of other colors. You can find it on Amazon.They run around $8.00 plus shipping. I had a seriously hard time choosing between light pink, coral pink and that really pretty green!

And add a tempered glass screen protector. Otterbox = Overpriced and Overrated.

I don't think the glass screen is a must with the UAG cases unless you're afraid of it landing on a small object that would impact the screen (like a rock) from a drop. Otherwise the following link is my unintended "crash and drop test" with the UAG for my Galaxy S3: http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/561515-gs3-case-discussion-thread-35.html#post6028284. I only had a basic flimsy screen protector on it. The Note 3 UAG of course is built with the same ruggedness and quality.

I also have the UAG Slate Blue for my Note 3, but I recently swapped it out for the Spigen Neo Hyrbrid as I wanted something with less bulk. This is a very nice case, but I'll definitely be adding a tempered glass screen protector. The Neo Hybrid will be my daily driver, and then I'll swap out for the UAG when I'm out playing or at the gym.
 
Does anyone know of a case/holster combo that will fit the note 3 with the wireless charging back installed? The stock Verizon combo only works with the standard back.

I am not looking for the smart case but one that includes a holster for the phone. The wireless charging back is a bit thicker than the flimsy standard back that come on the phone so I need a case to accommodate that extra thickness.
 
Has anyone had any issues with the Otterbox Commuter case port covers not laying flat and sticking up. It is kinda bugging me, but not as much as my Defender case stretching out around the edges.

Thanks
 
My Defender's cover stick out a very small amount. I find it helps me find the flaps when I need to open them. I don't find them a problem.
 
I am using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case which is slim enough to accommodate a QI wireless receiver plate underneath.

The case itself is very very snug especially with the QI receiver there, but provides excellent protection and does not add a lot of bulk at all, also it looks rather smart.

I pick this because of my specific need to install a QI receiver, I dont think there are THAT many cases out there that can accommodate it.
 
Anybody here have any experience with this case & holster for the Note 3? I will be buying myself a Note 3 before long and am trying to do my case purchase first. Whichever one I choose I will first put on tempered glass, probably from iloome. As far as cases goes I was thinking of UAG but have thought more about it after seeing pictures of the various cases standing next to each other in this thread.
The UAG just seems too bulky to me now after seeing the pics. Does anyone have input on the Platinum Series case & holster from Best Buy for $45? I seen a good review of it on youtube but have not seen it mentioned here.
Other than the Platinum series I am thinking either Spigen Neo-Hybrid or Spigen Slim Armour, probably leaning more towards Neo-Hybrid.
Any advice please. Especially on the Platinum series since I only have the youtube video to base my info on.
I figure the tempered glass will be my No. 1 defense with a slimmer case as my secondary protection.

Thanks for any help guys. Be gentle as this is my first post. TIA :)
 
I got the cheap $5 one from The Cell Phone Shop .net. it works well, i've dropped it, my kid has dropped it and so far so good.

My #1 recommendation in buying a tempered glass is the ultra thin, less expensive version. I dropped my phone on the screen side for the 1st time the other day and no issues. As much as I loved SGP products, the tempered glass is a little overpriced considering you can get ultra thin versions for much cheaper and it protects the screen way more than a regular screen protector.

Can you tell me which tempered glass brand you talked about to me? The one I am considering is the iloome 9H Premium tempered glass. I am basing this selection on an excellent youtube video demo. this product. Although not cheap it has the hardest screen protection available (9H) but also provided great responsiveness using the stylus.

I have read that not all tempered glass provides this same feel for the stylus. I will pay extra to have good glass protection. If you have another brand that provides 9H hardness and the stylus works well with it I am interested in other brands. Please let me know.

I believe that I would like to get the Neo-Hybrid case with glass protection but also would like a holster that would work with the Neo-Hybrid such as the one Platinum Series for the Note 3 from Best Buy. Can anyone recommend a good solid holster like this one that will work with the Neo-Hybrid?
I believe that this case & holster is supplied to Best Buy by Seidio as it looks identical to their Surface case. Thanks for any info. :o

This is the one I purchased from ebay and have had no issues after install

http://goo.gl/TfdR20

I basically searched ebay for "Galaxy Note 3 ultra slim tempered glass" at the time. There were only a few options back then. Now, there are a bunch of offerings. I use it with an ultra slim case also found from ebay.
 
Another choice I just had not thought of. I currently have the Galaxy S4 in a Tech 21 impact case. I have forgotten how good it fells in my hand. Not slippery at all and very thin. I just realized that they make the same case for the Note 3.
Has anyone here had any experience with this case for the Note 3? Compared to the Neo-Hybrid is it thinner than the Hybrid?
I wonder if it has the proper cutouts for the stylus and opening beside the stylus on the case? Kirk out!
