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.

I also have this case i used it on my n7000 and it fits perfect my only complaint would be its a little slick so hold on tight

Eh
No sir I don't like it I like the free one that comes with it.
Bad news friend we don't get a free case. That was only for certain areas don't see a free case with at&t or rogers. Unless you mean the one best buy is giving out?

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.

I thought it looked kind of janky . . . not to mention what a pain in the butt for taking pictures! Glad I paid the extra 50 bucks to get mine two days early with no case
I still don't know what flip case you guys are talking about. I'm eating pizza.

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

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just bought the same one for 9.61
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.

Update for everyone. I have been using this case since the 17th and I love it. It fits perfectly with the AT&T version, even before I put the screen protector on it.
I have a black one and it fits really snug.
So I'm looking at the flip case made by Samsung and noticed the back cover is substantially thicker than the one that comes on the phone. It also looks like you could snip off the flap that covers the screen. I know, kinda defeats the purpose but at very minimum, you'll have better protection on the back....
Anyone actually like this case as is? I find it cumbersome for most situations and only see its value for covering the face while in a pocket. I'm thinking to chop the front off and use it just for the back.
Bring on the OtterBox!
As a side Note, the flip case back is also textured and does provide a grippier feel.

Returning mine
I bought mine at the AT&T store. The back of the case is the best part, it is superior to the provided battery backing supplied with the phone.
I feel like the flip cover can get in the way of certain actions, particularly talking photos. It makes holding the phone feel a little unnatural whether you leave the flip cover open to the side or folded against the back. For those two reasons I've gone back to the standard battery back and will be exchanging it for another case or a refund.

I've noticed the same while using mine, especially while taking pictures. I originally purchased one from at&t but have since returned it due to Best Buy giving me one for purchasing the device from them ( saved me $50). This is definitely a temporary case until new cases become available.
Anyone looking to buy the official flip case. Let me know Ian going to sell mine. PM me if u are interested.

Picture taking is not as easy as I'd like it to be. I do like not needing a screen cover. I have a white note with the brown Samsung flip cover. It looks very professional and did not take long to get used to.
Man I went to Best Buy to check this case out and for $30 bucs its about the biggest POS for a case I have seen..
Theres ZERO protection on any of the sides..I'm not even sure how it provides any protection at all really..
I ended up getting the Yoobao Slim case...theres some pics below..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22881779&postcount=9
Provides some good drop protection and is cheaper...Doesnt add much bulk and still fits in my pocket with no issues.
I agree its quite the POS for $30. But for free, it'll do..... Until a replacement gets ordered.

Yep... this.
I like the way the brown one looks ont he white but the front is pretty flimsy and they didn't put too much thought into the overall design. The fact that it replaces the back was a nice thought and helped keep the thickness down opposed to a lot of the journal/folio cases you see on Amazon though.
I'll still probably end up replacing it with one of the aluminum bumpers that looks really nice and offer some more protection.

That's nice, I am ordering that one tonight, thanks for the info and heads up! It looks like that will fit perfectly in my PDAir belt case I have coming, http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_10000000_11001331&products_id=34279
The edge of the flipcover came apart on me today. it is peeling open. the edges are just heat sealed material around a thin plastic slab. have been using since launch day. i have Best Buy's GSBTP so if i drop it and it breaks, i'll just get another Note - so i am not too worried about the protection factor from drops. i like the idea of the flip cover, however it does get in the way of the camera and can make using the camera awkward.
i think the lines / grooves that show in a zagg shield would bug me...
hopefully i will find something i like...
Haters gonna hate.

I really like the flip case. Its a bit pricey at forty bucks, but I like the feel of it. Hopefully it stays together on mine. I really like using it while on the phone, because it keeps my screen clean from the grease from my face.

Ok, I worded that really weird. When I work out, it's unavoidable to sweat, so using my Infuse, I would always have to wipe it down after I talked on it. Yeah, it sucked. But I would rather wipe it off of this, than my screen.
Is this the same one???
I got it for $9 and it protects the corners of the Note. Little flimsy but I thought it was worth the cost and am still using it after 4 days.
Came in a Samsung OEM box.

I'm getting the commuter and a set of really nice screen protectors for this. I had the Defender for my DInc2; it was too bulky and the built in screen protector sucked a lot. It got dirty really easily and dust got under it too well. I'd rather have a slimmer case and a quality screen protector.
The accessory I'm most excited about is the Media Link though. It's a pretty penny, but that will be a really cool feature. Emulators on your TV with your phone as the controller. It's gonna be real nice.

I had a defender for my Evo OG and I was able to remove the protector and use my phantomskinz. It was just held in with some type of adhesive and it actually made a pretty good seal with my screen protector.
So if you want to go without a protector, I would imagine it shouldn't be a problem to remove.
Is there a band to go around it? Similar to how the iPhone antennae issue was "fixed". I don't want a case, but I would like a ~2mm lip to protect the glass when laying face down.
Edit: After some googling, apparently they are called bumpers. I can probably get a cheap-o from ebay after release. Does anyone have any experience with a bumper case?
I'm hoping for Trident to release a case... i love their Aegis on my E4GT...i wont consider another brand

TPU-cases.com are usually $8 or so in the early stages and then once more knockoffs come to market you can get cheaper. Honestly, I would pay evwn more as long as I have a case the day my phone arrives that I know I will like. Put a case on as soon as box is open and phone will look like new next year when it's time to upgrade, again.

One of my favorite features of the Note and S series phones is the removable battery. I'd like to be able to easily swap out the battery while still using some kind of case. I bought a SUPCASE Hybrid on Amazon, but it's so tight and difficult to remove that I'm afraid I'll eventually hurt the phone by taking it off once or twice per day. It's also pushing my screen protector up at the sides because it's so damned tight.
I had one of these cases for the Galaxy Note 2, and it worked very well. It was stretchy enough that I could take it off and put it back on all the time without fearing that I was going to damage the case or phone.
Has anyone found a case like this for the Note 3 that allows easy access to the battery of the phone? I'd pay $100 if I could get one of those Body Glove cases for the Note 3.
I'm considering buying a Seidio Surface because it looks like it might be easy to work with. (Top and bottom seem to slide off rather than needing to be peeled off.)
I have a feeling that I'm not the only one here who's particular about this, so I figured I'd make a post. Any ideas anybody? Thanks in advance.

The S-View case is the easiest thing in the world to take off in under a second really, also the other day I put my Caseology case on forgetting to put my battery cover on first and walked around all day like that without any problems lol. But umm yea the S-View if you simply pull on the case it snaps right off the back and it is very thin and light.

I went to a local T-Mobile store tonight and they had way more GNote 3 stuff in stock than I expected. They had a "buy two, get one free" sale so I picked up a S-View and two cases for less than $100. I really like how the S-View feels compared to Samsung's previous flip covers, but it disappoints me that the notification LED is still covered up. It didn't occur to me until after I'd walked out that this flip cover will also totally defeat the usefulness of the "Dynamic Notifications" app which I'm currently in love with.

Yup! Tech21 is one of the three cases I got tonight and it's the one I'm most happy with right now. It feels very solid, looks good and is pretty easy to slip off. There's just enough lip to prevent the touchscreen from touching my desk when I place it face down, but not enough to make it difficult to remove. It peels off way easier than the other cases of this type I've tried. :good:
I can tell you from using the flip cover for Note II, any Samsung official flip/s-view case is going to be the easiest option for wapping batteries, I do it every day and can't wait to get one for my Note III

These are just Case Mate cases sold on the Play Store... I bet they will be cheaper if bought directly from Case Mate when they come out...
I don't think I'd pay $5 for that plastic case. Just doesn't seem like it would have nice feel at all.
I don't think these cases will have high sales because of the Spigen cases, which are better in terms of quality. Also, they're all cheaper; Spigen's most expensive case for the Nexus 6 is $34.99 while the clear case on the Play Store is the same price. And for the flip case, Spigen has a similar one that's considerably cheaper: http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-6/nexus-6-case-wallet-s.html . Surely Google knew this beforehand because their sales will suffer. On 2nd thought... given that they jacked the prices up on their new flagship, I don't expect them to suffer at all as a matter of fact. Still, they may want to consider lowering the prices; no company wants their inventory to go to waste.
I love thin cases, but 35 bucks for a piece of plastic is ridiculous

If anyone is still interested in these cases. I would try T-Mobile, I cancelled (at least attempted to) my Google Play order. You can get the case at T-Mobile and save some money on shipping.

I purchased what looks exactly like the tough case at T-Mobile for the same price as the Play store (minus the cost of shipping). The clear case with the kickstand. Honestly the kick stand feels super flimsy. It almost seems as if the weight of the phone alone is capable of breaking it. I'm not confident it's going to last that long.
I like the look better than the cases on Amazon, I went ahead and ordered the Clear one today...... we'll see........
Just got my clear bumper case from google play store. Better than expected. Feels nice strong and thin. I previously had the nexus 5 with the google bumper case which saved my phone many many times. Hopefully this works just as well. Feels good in my hands and am very very happy with my purchase. Ordered this two days ago and it arrived today with normal delivery. Fast shipping from google.
