So I've been reading around and it seems that a lot of people are having trouble finding a nice and fitted case. Now I came frome a cappy to the i777 and I wanted somthing that was like the bodyglove case for the captivate. I found a case on Amazon that I thought would fit the i777 just right. It came in yesterday and it fits perfectly! Everythingis cut out where its supposed to be, yes even the noise canceling mic on top. Its not thick and it keeps the phone slim. Has nice grip on the sides so it doesn't slip. Fits the phone perfect. All in all seems to be an awesome case. And its only like $9 with shipping! Good deal!

I got a TC matte black slim case that is great and was $9 shipped from amazon. Highly recommended.
+1 for the TC case, nice fit and no frills.

I got the case mentioned in the OP but for 2.95 on eBay. Have to say this is one of the best fitting and best looking tpu cases I've owned. All the cutouts are spot on and its thin with ok protection for a tpu case. Way satisfied and would def recommend it to anyone.

I was looking at the TC case but wasn't sure about it. I had ordered one from ebay and it didn't fit. Its was to small. But I'll look into the Amazon one

I just got this one in the mail before Christmas (along with some screen protectors). This thing is good. double layer protection along with covers for the earphone jack and usb port. Feel as sturdy or more than otterboxes I have seen. Some people don't like the bulk but I like the thicker grip.

Is the case OP posted really rubbery or what? I'm looking for a slim case that doesn't stick in my pockets.
+ one more for the matte black TC case. Had it since a week after launch. Cut outs are all correct, (though I widened the usb and headphones cutouts with an xacto knife to fit aftermarket audio and usb plugs that I had - stock stuff fit fine with no mods) keeps the slim profile of the phone, and makes it fit my hand a little better, so less chance of drops.

I'm looking into the case that the OP mentioned. I found a five case deal on ebay coming from Hong Kong. I just got my phone (no case protection) and it'll pain me too much to see how long the shipping will take, it is free though.
I wonder if people are seeing good results on all of these cheap cases from ebay, by that I mean after a few months of use.
Question, OP
I'm coming from a Cappy with the excellent Body Glove TPU case. It was the best case I've ever had for a phone, and I was wondering if the case OP posted is flexible TPU, or hard, rigid plastic that can't be flexed. I wonder this because I need access to the back sd card and battery often, and the material of the case determines if I buy it or not.
Thanks for any answers to my question.

Anyone know of a good case that fits the wireless charging cover? The cover is slightly thicker so a regular case.... At least the spigen one I had doesn't fit

Any suggestions? I'm not well versed on soft bumper cases. I'm coming from using Otterbox as my only case provider for all my gadgets.
Oh well I had bought myne from a shop in Greece and I don't have the box and it says nothing on. Just grab a rubber black if you got the black phone or a clear one m8,its really cheap everywhere.

I just ordered a thin aluminium black bumper case on ebay from china. Should receive it in a couple weeks. Seems alright..
I'm waiting for my back to come and I was thinking about this issue. I was going to get a cheap tpu case and use a hair dryer to give it a little stretch.
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid but I am looking for a thinner case that adds less width to the phone. Minimal protection is sufficient.
I bought a Ringke slim on ebay. Hard slim case. 9.99. I love it. Adds hardly any size to phone and its cheap

Does it comes with the hole for sling? I used to have one for my Note 2. Slim and light but minimal protection.
I have all the spigen cases for the note 3, i think the best one is the bounce, the crappiest one is the neo hybrid.
And yes the thinnest is the bounce, and the thickest is the slim armor

search ebay for "0.3mm note 3 case". It's basically a semi hard plastic wrap/case that is super thin and only provides scratch protection. They're dirt cheap too. like $1 each. I bought a dozen and can replace them at will.

Too much bulk... And I've had bad experiences with bumpers messing up the signal. I don't really care about drop protection, just want to protect it from scratches and dirt.
Diztronic is the thinnest TPU I've used, it was ten bucks shipped from Amazon and fits in the holster that the Seido surface uses.

Agreed.. I've tried both caseology cases and also bear motion bumpers.. and some other ones. Diztronic by far the thinnest while still covering all sides of the phone.

Only the corners are protected and it's actually one of the lightest cases and since it's made of rubber you wont have signal interruptions. Only metal bumpers cause those.
Do any of the suggested covers and bumpers raise the back to protect the camera?

He's spot on, have them all as well. Bounce is by far the best. The tough armor is a close second. Hybrid is absolute rubbish.

Just got my case today and it works great just like my Note 2 did... It's nice for scratches and covers a good part of the phone. Fits nicely and adds a nice grip to it I like better than the back.

Neo hybrid a tad bit slimmer, the case is hard to get on because the bumber but overall really nice case. also it has chromed plastic buttons.
Slim armor is bigger but makes your phone feel more protected. The buttons on the side are flushed so its hard to tell what buttons you are
pressing. TBH i'd just get both, for $7.60 for two cases, thats a cost of a tpu case almost lol.
Thanks!! looks like there's an additional 10% off for buying 1 or more Spigen case. $6.24 shipped for one of each case. Best deal ever!!

Hey mate I talked with a representative via chat and I told them the 13$ shipping is absurd for a 3.80$ case so they removed the shipping fee and I got it for 3.80$! Amazing service I think you should give it a try.
I ordered the Dante red one, it looks gorgeous :good:
Try chatting with them and tell them the shipping cost is absurd and hopefully they will remove it, they'are very cooperative. I hope it helps mate and please do tell if it helped you :fingers-crossed::good:
Does any of these cases offer flaps to cover the charging and earphone ports?

Ordered the gold one. Awesome find man much appreciated
The ringke code posted expired sadly. I was able to order a spigen neo hybrid case though. Great deal.
buttons on the neo hybrid are awful. very flimsy, you can watch them flop as you turn the phone from side to side.
Just wondering if anyone is planning to buy a pouch or sleeve for the Galaxy Fold?
From where are you planning to buy one?

Not bad at all. I picked up a Nintendo DS microfiber pouch from a Diaso here in Japan. Been working great, before that I was using the glasses pouch a pair of Gunner glasses I got came in. It's been helping a lot with minimizing lint and debris
I use mine in the Spigen Thin Fit Case (as it has better camera protection) and it ain't bulky. I then carry it around in a Shocksock Neoprene pouch. It's a nice snug fit.

**Update - SOLD
I've been using a neoprene pouch for my phones ever since I got one included with the Nexus One several years ago. I usually have a protective case on the phone too.
I get them from ebay and they are relatively cheap. I just took a look now and the type I use isn't available for the fold, but there is one with a flap and carabiner. It's what I would buy if I had a fold.

I have mine in the official Samsung leather case, which I then also slide into a Shocksock pouch. That pouch is such a good fit, it's hard to imagine it wasn't manufactured especially for the Fold. The price is right, too.
I got a shock sock from Amazon for mine, made of neoprene, it will provide some drop protection, again mildly inconvenient to use but worth it for the price. Keeps pocket lint away from the device and is splash proof
