Spigen Slim Aromor Case Review. - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Just got it in today. Fits perfect. I also have the Neo-Hybrid, and comparing the two the Slim Armor fits better all around. It's more comfortable to me. The holes cut out are better centered, and the SPen cut out is perfect. No rubbing when removing or inserting it. Even though the back is hard plastic it's not really slippery in the hand as I thought it would be. The buttons are very easy to push and use. Overall I'm really happy with it. The color is Dodger Blue.

More pics.

I order the infinity white. Should be here Monday or Tuesday.
How's the camera lens? Is it recessed?

Yes. Very nicely tucked in there. There is also ridges at all four corners to protect the shine of the plastic when you put it down. That's a really nice touch. When you set it down on a surface those actually keep the phone up a bit. You can actually see under/through the phone if you look at it at table's height. Great quality case.

Great I'm excited to get it. I'm ready to return this cheap tpu case to Verizon. I wish with the white version's silicon wasn't black. Instead gray would keep the whiter scheme better.

Me too. I couldn't find any cases I like that had white instead of grey or black. I have an Incipio DualPro coming in on Monday. I'll give a review of that too when I get it.

I was wanting the White Otterbox Commuter but still not out. So went with this case and it is good and great price on amazon.

Pretty nice, definitely a plus those back guards to keep from marring the finish on the case back. Guessing you got it on Amazon since they charge more on their own site, I'm thinking about their ultra slim case. Spigen seems to be very good quality from all the reviews on the site I've seen so far.

Yep from their Amazon store. Paid $20 total since it was with free shipping. They're out of stock as of now. Says back in stock Oct 31st.

Can't wait to hear how you like the dualpro...I had a incipio on both the droid x and note 2 and thought they were great. Still looking for THE case but the simple Diztronic I'm using now is doing a pretty darn good job so far...It'll be interesting to see your comparison between the spigen and incipio. Thanks

Thanks for the review!

Yeah I got my slim Armor yesterday, I got the slate colored one. Absolutely perfect fit. Couldn't be happier. Now just waiting for my tempered glass to get here and I'll be all set.

Literally the same setup I'm having. Waiting on the protector. Got the case yesterday as well. Fits very well. Tight, but easily comes off when you want it to.
I too, thought the hard plastic would be more slippery, but it has 'relatively' decent grip IMO.
Those little nubs on the back are definitely a nice touch.
The only issue I had was on the bottom where the speaker cut out is, there was a tiny flap/tag that wasn't cleanly cut when, probably separating from the mold when being made.
Simply took a little razor blade and sliced it off... Looks like it was never there.
Slate metal color.
A solid $20 investment. Would recommend.

does it fit the L-shaped earphone jack?

Hello,
Thanks for the pics. I ordered yesterday the colour Metal slate, but the blue is fantastic!
I wait till the Case com and then I ordered the blue one...

The only thing on Spigen cases so far that I don't like is the hole for the headphones. Most headphones I have (and also extenders for my auxiliary port in my car) are all thicker, and don't fit in the small cutout. That said the headphones that come with the phone fit perfect, and a bought a $2 adapter for the car, it's all good. If you have an L shaped one you may need an adapter too, but not sure since I've seen many different lengths.
A note for anyone who watched that video review a couple posts back. You don't need to separate the two pieces. Mine slid on easy enough as one piece. Looking at the buttons I think if you pull it apart you're going to mess up the buttons somehow.

Do you guys like this case?

This is a ballistic rubber-like case I bought at a store a while back. I also have a neo hybrid case. I like the feel free of this case a lot. It has a good grip and good protection. I like the looks except for the back. It has these little dots on the inside that help it grip the phone but I think it might look bad?

I hate cases But the S4 wouldnt survive anything without it That case u got is hugee... i prefer ultra thin... offcourse that case will give ur phone propper protection if it fall down
Yeah, it's pretty big and the corners are well protected. So, you don't think it looks cheap or anything?
Sent from my Verizon Galaxy S4 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2.
The issue I've found with GS4 cases, is a lot of them have very small openings for the headphone jack. I've struggled to find a case that offers a reasonable amount of protection, a slim profile, and a nice opening for the headphone jack.
Not a fan of the corners - but, hey - to each thier own!
That looks gooey .
that's nice:highfive:
I HATE CASES.. big cases at that, but I actually got the commuter otter box case.. best investment
I put an Otterbox Defender on everything. My tablet even has one. On my S3 I had a Zagg Invishield on it because I was using the Mophie Battery Case. I had an Otterbox Defender for that phone too but didn't use it much. Only used it when I went to areas of high risk like a racetrack maybe but always carried the Mophie Case.
I just got my s4 today, I ordered an UAG case. I had one for my s3 and loved it. Very snug, perfect cutouts(both placement and size) and it is only one piece for ease of removal. The rubber corners are made it off a material that has just enough grip in your hand, but doesn't get lint from your pocket. I'm a carpenter and a bit rough with stuff, it's very durable. Bounced it many times off concrete floors.
looks wack. i got a spigen slim armor in slate for my black s4 and it looks sooo good.
Phone Case
I just picked up the S4 the other day and was not into any of the cases the phone vendor had in stock. They had Otter and a couple others, the Otter boxes seemed excellent but I couldn't get by the lunch box size of the final assembly. Anyway I tried several not really liking any, so I looked on line and found one made by Elementcase that seemed to be what I was looking for. It arrived over night and did indeed prove to be what I was looking for. A nice design, light and slim with a machined bezel and kick stand.
Nice case!
Actually not a bad looking case at all

Actually looks good and like it easy to hold on to.

Thx
Thanks guys. I rotate between that case and my spigen neo hybrid. I love the looks of the neo hybrid so much but this rubber one stays much cleaner.
I'll post a picture of the case off the phone when I get home in a bit. I bought it at AT&T and it's called ballistic something. Verizon store didn't have any cases and after I bought the phone I wanted a temporary case until I ordered the neo hybrid.

Looks great, thanks for the pictures. How long did it take to arrive after shipping? Mine was supposed ship today but didn't receive any confirmation. Now I'm worried that it won't be here in time for my N3 later this week.

Got any pics of the headphone jack area? I have studio monitor headphones with a huge jack, trying to see if they will fit... Thanks!
Not gonna lie. As thin as the case is, it sure does add some bulk to the phone. Also the port for the S-Pen is still snug and the the S-pen comes in contact with the case when you pull it out. Doesn't bother me though. Feels really good in the hands and the case fits like a glove.
Got the email from Amazon that it shipped on October 3rd and I received it today.
I just wish they'd commit to the Slim Armor View, they have 431 likes already.
How long ago did you order your's tungo0516? I may just order the Urban Armor Gear Navigator on principal at this point and wait and see if they make the Slim Armor View. The UAG is honkin' huge, but it's much better protection.
If you guys don't mind waiting, I can probably get pictures of the case installed on a black GN3, assuming my friend stops by tomorrow. If he does, I'll throw the case on his phone and snap some photos

Ordered September 16. Shipped October 3rd. Received today. iLoome tempered glass will be here this Thursday.
UAG is too big. This phone feels bigger in my hands than the Note 2 with the Samsung OEM case I had before, but feels so much better in the hand. I'm going to the Miami Heat preseason game this Friday. Can't wait to utilize that camera.

How much contact? Enough to scratch the pen or the paint from the case?
that cut out for the spen hole looks hideous
It's bigger
It looks bigger than being naked. Maybe I gotta choose a slim case. S-View is out of my view. Because it's currently sold in Korea & China. I don't believe in cheap cases that made in China due to its low quality
can show some pictures on the 3.5mm aux jack?
Would like to see how big the opening is.
Thanks.
Does the case feel slippery? Or does it give you a better grip than going bareback?
Looks great! Thanks for the pics. Looking forward to mine in silver.
Is the back as fingerprint-prone as people say it is?
Also wondering about the grip. Is it a noticeable improvement over naked? Holding the phone naked is like holding an oversized bar of soap.
Does this case have enough of a lip around the back to protect the camera lens when on its back and enough of a lip to protect the screen while face down?
My Dante Red Neo-Hybrid comes in today or tomorrow, I can post picks of it on my black GN3.
Hi is the lip around the screen raised enough so that the screen don't touch the surface thanks for the pictures
How easy are the buttons to press? I know on some cases with built in buttons they are harder than a mother.....

Honestly, I believe it will scratch the pen if you pull it out too much. What I do is tilt the s-pen and pull it at a downward angle. Maybe it's just my case, but over time if you pull it out too much, scuffs on the pen will appear and the s-pen will look worn out.

closest case to an otterbox... or better? For a painter/carpenter

Hey,
My dad's looking to get into the smartphone game and I'm telling him to get a Note III instead of the S4, only thing is there's no otterbox out right now, anything else that might protect the phone in a heavily dusted environment (he paints and does home improvement/carpentry for new homes), I need something very durable.
He's coming from a ravine that's taken a beating for a long time, what do you guys suggest?
I need something similar too.. Rugged + Belt clip..
Only two cases I have found so far have been otterbox and seidio but neither is available yet..
Does anyone have any eta for otterbox? Why on earth are they not readily prepared for such a major flagship phone??!!! *end of rant*

they did the same thing last year with the Note II.
I personally go either naked or flip cover (which is damn near naked, just an added flap), so I didn't care.

So from that I noticed that Ballistic is making a case and theirs looks like it would be pretty good too.. It isnt available yet so not many pictures..
Here is link to theirs.. note 3 case..
Because I wanted pictures I found the same model under an S4 so I bet the design is similar..

I have a case very similar to this on my Note 2 and found it to be a very tough case that has saved my phone several times. I think it would do the trick and for the price it was one of the best investment for my phone.

Just ordered a Note 3 myself and a wireless charging receiver and a case will be the first two things I look into.
I had that one for some reason the plastic part was a little bit too sticky when you put it in your jeans you better be prepared to put in effort to get it out I'm not sure if it was because it got wet or why. But this case is good only issue with it is the home button area can get a bit annoying

Not sure this one offers as much protection as you are looking for, one reviewer says it is closer to the Otterbox commuter rather than the defender. I do like the fact that it also has covers for the ear phone and charging port, so that should be a bonus for keeping the dust/dirt out. I needed a holster case combo, and needed it quick so I ordered this one last night with express shipping. I can post an update on how it is once it is received. For the price, seems like it was worth a shot, but hopefully I won't regret it.

Since he doesn't need a belt clip, he should get a UAG case (Urban Armor Gear)! I have a UAG case for my Note 2 and love it! It is by far my favorite tough case out of all the companies who make them. I used to really like Otterbox cases, but since using a UAG case I'd never go back to an Otterbox! Otterbox offers great protection, but their style is a little plain. UAG offers protection AND style, so you get the best of both worlds. You also get a UAG screen protector with each case you order. I used their screen protector on my Note 2 and it's actually very nice, unlike Otterbox screen protectors which scratch and begin to look bad very quickly. I bought the white and black UAG for my Note 2. After many months of use, it looks just as good as the day I took it out of the box! The white has never yellowed like most white cases do, and there are no scratches on it, even after a few drops. Also, they have a lifetime warranty on their cases, so they'll replace it for free if you ever needed to for any reason. Their Note 3 case isn't available quite yet, but they'll ship in 5-7 days after you order.
EDIT : Here's the link to their Note 3 cases. They offer it in dark blue, white, orange, and black.

TechMatte makes amazing screen protectors!!! They just produced them and sent me one for testing, so I don't think they are available for sale to the general public just yet. I'll ask them and see when they'll be available. Ghost Armor is another great choice of you don't wanna wait! I've been using Ghost Armor for years, and they've been my favorite.

Incipio DualPro Case Review.

Here is my quick review of the new Incipio DualPro Case. First I want to say sorry for the blurry pics. Wasn't taken with the best camera, but I wanted to get this up now.
Right off the bat this case feels great. It's almost gel-like. It's made of a hard shell, and very soft inner part, but both feel the same. It's like a feltish feel. Reminds me of the Nexus One's back. Even though it was hard plastic, it had that soft touch feel to it. The buttons are extremely easy to press thanks to the soft inside material being the cover instead of the hard outer shell, or individual pieces like the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. The overall thickness is also less compared to both the Neo-Hybrid and the Spigen Slim Armor. It almost feels like the naked phone without a case.
The cutouts are spot on too. Just like the Slim Armor. No complaints overall. Again the headphone port has a deep cutout, so you will need an extension, or just use headsets with thin jacks. Anything larger than the headphones that came with it won't fit. The camera is tucked in just enough, so there is no fear of it contacting any surface when put down, and the front is thick enough to protect any sort of surface if laid face down. I'm really happy with this case. For me it's a toss up between the Slim Armor and this with the Neo-Hybrid last. Both the Slim Armor and DualPro feel great in the hand, but the DualPro feels a bit better with the super soft touch feel. Great case that you can't go wrong with. The color is Cyan.

Thanks for the pictures & review, this may be my kind of case. One question though, how is the gripping on the sides? All I need in a case now is one that provide sufficient grip, since the Note 3 is so thin and slippery on the sides that sometimes it literally slides off my hands/grip.
The grip on the sides Isn't super slick but I wouldn't call it grippy either. I'd try and check it out in a VZW store first hand. My only complaint is the TPU insert doesn't have much rigidity around the home button and the speaker. So it snags and doesn't stay snug so to speak.
I'm probably going to return mine when my Uag arrives

This is the only case so far that I'm really having an easy time holding. The Slim Armor was the best I thought, but this one is just a perfect increase in size over the naked phone. The rubbery texture is more than enough to grip. When you first put it on it may feel a bit slippery, but it's just the talcom powder they use in the molds for the silicone to be easy to get out. I wiped mine down, and now it's a soft rubbery grippy feeling case. I really like it a lot. Plus the sides are curved. There are no corners that you need to grip against like the Neo-Hybrid or Slim Armor. It's a very natural feeling to hold it since your fingers wrap the entire case. One bonus feature I found for me is the entire bottom is the very soft inner case, and the way I hold the phone I tend to put my pinky under the bottom as a brace. The soft gel really is easy on my finger. The other two case are hard on the bottom, and I would have to keep moving my pinky to stay comfy.

That's a good additon to mention. The top and bottom are both just the soft inner case. There is no hard outer shell to keep it pressed against the phone, so if you tend to put it in your pocket I can see it getting caught and pulled when you try to pull it out, but overall with it being on the case and used, it doesn't "wobble or flipflop" by itself. It's stiff enough to stay put, but easy enough to pull away with a slight tug.
Ah yeah I wasn't clear. It stays put until it snags coming in and out of my pocket. It's merely an annoyance.
My favorite thing about the case is how comfortable it is. Holding the phone naked now feels sharp and uncomfortable.

Looks great!! Thanks for the review and your initial thoughts on it! Looks really good on your white GN3! I also bought a white GN3, so this is perfect for keying me know how this will look on mine! Thank you!!
One thing, you should put a link in the OP so readers can easily find this case, instead of having to search the web for it. Other than that, which you can easily fix with an edit, excellent review!

Looks great!! Thanks for the review and your initial thoughts on it! Looks really good on your white GN3! I also bought a white GN3, so this is perfect for keying me know how this will look on mine! Thank you!!
One thing, you should put a link in the OP so readers can easily find this case, instead of having to search the web for it. Other than that, which you can easily fix with an edit, excellent review!

How'd you get your case so quickly? I pre-ordered directly from incipio.com about 2 weeks ago and still haven't received a shipping notice.
EDIT: Oh, apparently the blue and pink versions are shipping NOW, but the neutral white and black versions are taking a little longer. Ah well.

I'm special. LOL Yeah just as your edit said. I check sites daily, and when I see them in stock I order ASAP. That's how I get all my case in before everyone. I check first thing in the morning (around 8). I find I can order in the morning with "in stock" stuff, and by afternoon they are already out of stock.
I picked up my black case at a Verizon corporate store

I picked up a DualPro SHINE, Brushed silver color, from the Verizon store, They were able to pick up the day note3 came out. They still sell them, It's a the best over the counter case you can get IMHO at the moment.
How does this case compare to the spigen bounce? I just ordered the bounce to try it out.
I loved this case on my SG4 but it was a Lint & Dust magnent. I think there is a correlation with most cases....the grippier the case...the more dust and lint it will attract. Just got a UAG case for my new note 3 and it sits perfectly inbetween Grip and Lint spectrum!
Just ordered mine from amazon. How easy / not easy is it to quickly take off and put back on? Like if I wanted to swap batteries in my phone, would it be this whole ordeal? Thanks

It's very easy. One of the best cases if you need to do that. When it's on it's on good, but no fear of breaking something if you have to take it off.
Sent from a Galaxy Note 3 far, far away....
My older brother had the Shine version of the Incipio DualPro for his Galaxy Note II and it was pretty bulky with no easy way to take it off. I have the Spigen Slim Armor for my Galaxy Note 3 and considered it superior until I noticed a crack in the armor yesterday. It has never been dropped so I am pretty sure that it was caused by taking the phone in and out daily. I do this carefully one side at a time and push through from behind (camera opening) but it happened anyway. I would hope that the Note 3 version of the DualPro is easier.
Also, it was rounded so it probably wouldn't fit a flat metallic plate insert like the nGroove Snap uses. He also tried it with a Qi wireless receiver I sent him and it doesn't work through the case. I hope the Note 3 version is thinner.

"Crystal Clear" TPU case

Has anybody tried one yet on the DT2? I want to protect the leather, but still show it off, as well as give some cushioning for light drops due to having wood and tile everywhere in my house.
If anybody has used one, how clear are they? How well is the fitment? Specifically, I'm looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...id=1447601659&ref_=sr_1_19&s=wireless&sr=1-19
Reviews look like it doesn't fit right. Although people are talking about tablets. One says the slots and holes aren't right. Doesn't look promising. I'm waiting for Diztronic because they've never let me down with TPU cases for my phones.

I received that very one 2 days ago. I really like it. Was looking for a bumper case as I don't tnink the phone needs a back cover. Couldn't find one so I ordered this one. The back is indeed crystal clear (so far) and shows off my soft grip well. The sides are tpu & offer way more grip than the original metal. All the cutouts line up & the buttons are easy to push. The clear back plastic is apporximately 1/16" thick. I'd buy it again.

Brian, do you have a picture?

Don't know if this will work or not. Didn't see a way to attach an image from a local folder so I tried to attach a link to my google drive where the pictures are. Fingers crossed.

Pictures worked and looks good. I ordered the same case two weeks ago and was back-ordered from the seller. It's "shipping" now and hopefully i'll be getting this case soon! I also did not want to cover up the back as mine is the leather back.

I bought one of these today. I can confirm that the buttons work well. Here's a riddle: What is flexible on the sides, rigid on the back, and clear all over. This case! *rim shot*
Wow, that looks really good. I'm going to order one asap. Thanks!
Urban Armor Gear has a clear case. I love it.

Moto X Style/Pure coming with bumper case. It's cheap, transparent plastic but perfect to protect metal frame. If anyone find the same type for Turbo 2/Force, please let us know.
I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-C...476482?hash=item41a2479d02:g:Iq8AAOSw3KFWgIVS
Works great. Add extra piece of mind when holding DROID without excessive bulk.
I finally got my clear case. I was waiting on my Amazon Gift card birthday present because I didn't really want to spend my own money on it, lol
I love it, though. Looks great on the phone and protects the leather.

+1 on Diztronic, good cases, used them on other phones before, and I have the blue TPU one on my D2 now. Not the slimmest of cases, but very well made and the button feel is perfect, better than naked.
I got the Pleson clear TPU case cause I love the look of this phone, but FWIW, clear cases just seem like lint traps to me. I found myself removing the phone from the case too often to clean out all the pocket lint that was getting sandwiched in there...kept bugging my OCD tendencies. And when it was out one day, you guessed it, dropped on my concrete floor in the basement and dented the corner a bit....GAHHH.
I have this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01868SM9S
It fits well and all the ports are uncovered. Don't try using the screen protector that comes with it, the one they sent with mine is too tall for the phone.

It's similar to one I bought it. I'm using for awhile and fit very well and I like it.
