I will report back with pictures asap when I get the phone on BB release day.

this is the email i got from tpu
clay also is an international note owner
A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #711 with the following response:
Hi Tyler,
We are making a case for it, we just wanted to be sure that the AT&T version was the same as the International version. I'm glad we waited as it turns out the AT&T version is slightly thinner. I'm still waiting on confirmation of the mic placements as well, AT&T has been known to move them on previous phones. As soon as we have a 100% confirmation of the design of the phone we will start making our mold.
Best,
Clay
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please reply to this email.

Errr lol....I predicted all along that basically all intl Note accessories should work with at&t version.
But if the info from them is accurate, then looks like the opposite.
I'm also counting on those various HK and Singapore vendors to quickly release TPU cases for at&t Note.
I only have used TPU cases for the last several phones I had....best combination of thinness, and the dust repellant element.

I hope its not true just received my tpu case I paid 5 bucks for. Looks great hopefully it works. We will see on the 19th. They don't even have a phone to verify the thickness. So how can they be sure?
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)

I'm just glad the $30 case I ordered was advertised for the i717 . . . sending it back if it doesn't fit!!

Rearth is selling theirs as i717 specific and the cases look identical (mic placement). They have pictures up of the case on the i717 but I wouldn't be surprised if they're photoshops.

tpu-cases by diztronic are top notch and the best cases i have ever used on my phones.
matte black of course

Rearth just emailed me back and said they designerd their i717 cases with a unit in hand. Assuming that's true that means mic placement is the same as N7000 based on these pictures.

I went to best buy yesterday and an employee gave me a note model to check if my case would work. It does. mic placement is the same.

I did not think the dimensions of the two models would be different enough that they were not be interchangeable on the cases. Thanks of the update!

I meant best overall case i've ever used. Im including the 10$, 25$, and even the 35$+ ive spent on cases.
It's super light, it's durable, doesnt scratch easily, the material is flexible yet super tough, and it protects the entire side/back of the phone. Use a decent screen protector, and chances of your phone ever getting knicked/scratched are pretty slim to none.

YO chkit
I just got this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/360432836241?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 take a look tell me how great it is

Exactly the same case can be had for $4.88 + Free shipping
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110824258506
These US sellers really make killing profits on this. These case are OEM case, real cost is like $2 or less. They import them in large quantity to US and sell for $16+
So.. Yes, you're still sending money to China but now you're also giving $14+ to US middle man

You have the right to your own opinion and you have the right to do whatever you want with your money, if you're happy to spend that much, then good for you.
But I also have my own opinion and here it is..
You know what, the real cost for this is actually in the range of 10-20cents.
US sellers (most of them are individuals working from their garage) import them in bulk, with import taxes and shipping cost, there's no way it will be more than $1 for each case.
If these US sellers sell the case for $10 (that's 900% profit) or less I won't mind buying from them. But selling it for $16+ and saying MSRP for this is $30+ is just pure greed.
I'm all in for supporting US economy, if these cases are made in US and selling for whatever price, I wouldn't think much before buying from them.
Oh, btw, another bad news for you, about 90% of the price you pay for your new Galaxy Note goes to South Korea.

$3.48 Brilliant Leather case

Hello, i just found this item on deal extreme. It looks like the one from a previous post in this section, bought in singapore if i remember right, and it was brilliant!
I just ordered one, i will keep you advised when it arrives; it usually takes two weeks with this site... But shipping is free.
Check it out! -clic-

Is it just me, or has the DealExtreme web site been unavailable for the last few days?
DNS is unable to resolve the name "dealextreme.com", and when I try to access it by IP address, I just get a message "click here to enter site".
Can't help, no problems here...
From the looks of it this case would be better than most of the flip cases because it grips onto the beveled edges on the front, instead of putting material around the screen itself. On flip cases I've used it seems that they almost always interfere with getting to the edge of the screen (eg for scrolling, etc).
I just wonder how they can afford to sell these for only $3.48USD, and not charge for shipping. Has anyone dealt with dealextreme that could vouch for their customer service?

I have bought from DealExtreme a number of times. While the quality of the goods that they sell is not exactly top notch, the goods are always extremely good value for money (especially given that the price includes free worldwide postage) and they have always delivered exactly what I have ordered.
Thanks for the link, I ordered one...

Just reporting back to tell that I received this case. It seems ok for that kind of money, phone fits in nicely to the hard plastic part inside. Outside is black leather (fake of course ) with brown stitches and inside is black suede without any pockets, just plain... oh and there is a hole for the camera and a magnetic clip.
Damn, you got it before me

Zenus Capsule case

Just received mine after ordering on ebay. I paid for the faster shipping and received it in only 4 days.
I've attached some pictures. Since I don't have the phone yet (obviously) i've been putting the case in my pocket and have been simulating using it (sad i know)
I love the size, and this case is awesome. I ended up picking this one because of the look and the kick stand. Definitely recommend so far.

Just wanted you to know is not really a case. It is another back which replaces the stock back and a flap that covers the screen. The edges of the GNote are still completely exposed.
Just wanted you to know what the flip case is.
Apparently the flip case will only last about a month due to some defects. People are complaining that it is falling apart. Good for free but don't spend you hard earned cash on it.

If it doesn't, you can just add some padded tape to the inside. that way, if the phone is thinner, it will fit snugly.
Let me know if this one is good
It appears the free best buy flip case does not protect the side so I was thinking of getting this http://www.ebay.com/itm/180817975166?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 I just don't want to pay more than $9.99

Anybody try the ZENUS Galaxy Note Capsule Stand Slide Series with an AT&T Note yet? I wanna make sure it works perfectly before I pull the trigger. thanks
Has anyone found a case that's durable like the one Seidio sells? Seidio won't have one out until later and I need something durable and something with a good grip, with the phone being so big and I have small hands, I'm afraid it'll slip. I bought the Zenus leather case for the time being.
UPDATE: I asked one of the eBay seller about the Zenus capsule and said it's more on the slippery side but is made with hard material.

Impact Heavy Duty Case with kick-stand (Otterbox Quality but cheaper)

I ordered me a case for our AT&T Galaxy Note off eBay and it will come today according to USPS tracking. One of my friend say that case have Otterbox quality but cheaper. So, if you love Otterbox, you can at least get heavy duty case for less than 11 buck until Otterbox Defender arrive. Not only does Heavy Duty case have black color, there also different color available. Just type heavy duty galaxy note on eBay search and you will see a list of different color case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-T-Samsun...202747?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4162d815bb
NOTE: If you plan on order one, make sure you read if the case compatible for AT&T Note. If it say I717, it mean at&t. If it N7000 it International.
I just ordered that same one too, I'll comment on it when it gets here!

I always use my phone to take pic, but I don't have a secondary camera for it. I promise you, this case is quality built, close to otterbox, but it don't come with screen protection like the Defender have. Plus, it only 10 buck cheaper with free shipping.
It have 2 layer of protection. The soft and the hard materials which made the phone protect more. I think the glass on the Note is made of Gorilla Glass so I think we should be okay.
I only use the the case until Otterbox Defender arrive.
wow this has to be the most popular case!!!
the protection is unmatched
only downside it does add slight bulk but this isnt a "barely there" case, this case is made to handle drops and slides on concrete
Looks like a great case, just got one. Here is the Amazon link. They have various colors.

i think it should be common sense to anyone that if you buy a flexible rubber/tpu/material product with ink printing, its gonna chip off... until manufacturers develop a method of inking the flexible material in an embedded state.

I also had very bad experience with customer service @ Cruzerlite . There was a problem with my order, was supposed to be fixed. I was promised a refund, then never got another response. I emailed them over and over, NOT EVEN A SINGLE RESPONSE. The case I got from them I use on my phone at work, because I don't want to ruin any of the decent cases I have. I also suggest as do previous posts, DO NOT waste your time with a company that has such piss poor customer service. I've also heard other people having issues receiving/using gift cards - DO NOT waste your time/money buying those for friends/family either ..... IMO.

I felt the same way so I bought another TPU case from ebay, and liked it better but it didn't protect the camera enough(camera stuck out past the case). I just recently bought one of the S-line TPU cases on ebay for $4.75 shipped and it's my favorite one yet. Here's one cheaper, but it's from China so the shipping could take a couple weeks: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HTC-EVO-4G-LTE-TPU-S-Line-Wave-Case-Black-/170881969914?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c95beefa#ht_662wt_1399
The Incipio NGP has me curious, though. I think I would probably like it even more, but I'm hesitant to spend $20+ on a case that I might not like as much as my $5 case.

So far, I haven't dropped mine, but my guess would be that they would perform the same. They seem to be about the same thickness. The s-line covers the buttons, but they work very well. Well worth the money and the wait (about 10 days). I ended up buying all four colors (white, black, purple and smoke). The smoke and the purple are transparent so the HTC logo and the aluminium sides show through.

I would probably say it would be better for drop protection than the Diztronic only because it covers the buttons and seems to stick out a little bit further past the screen around the edges.

Was your issue ever resolved to your satisfaction? If not, let's go to PM so that I can get your order details and make things right for you.
I had an issue with a Cruzerlite case that I got via Amazon but I called them and they're sending a replacement. Very good customer service.

the only problem is how do you make such a big ass phone less bulky....

Anyone have past experience with Bounce models?
I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.

I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...

Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

I would encourage you to make it known via email to them, and get a refund on the difference, clearly someone is messing it up and its going to cost them sales.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

Seidio should have the Surface and holser friday . Have a couple hybrid Spigens now but I need my surface case and holster. I just don't want to pay the initial price. They will be half price in 6 months.

I have the bounce and it compliments the phone very well. And it looks classy to me. Gives me a good grip too. I am actually preferring it over my sview for now.
