My New Note 3 Case from TaoBao 淘宝. | Update: 06/01/2014
New Year New Color. - My 2nd UAG - Outland | Update: 03/01/2014
Finally! my UAG - Navigator case is came! | Update: 19/12/2013
Short Review:
The finish is extremely well done!
Nice to hold, non-slip at all!
Well done button holding part, the best cut out I ever seen.
Elegance Look!
No finger magnet!
Feel strong hold and not heavy and in nice thickness size.
Came with extra screen protector.
3rd hole is confirm there already.
The best case I ever have for my Note 3, this will be my 1st favor case now.
Caution:
I should pick others color, the white is nice but it might easier get dirt due to the surface finish.

Ebay Site: http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAD-CASE-DESIGNS-...-3/370944648494
Finally received my OtterBox Defender - Merlot Color. | Update: 3/12/2013.
Impression:
I find it is not that bulky as I though, at least not for Note 3 series, it is quite similar size as Commuter series.
The provide front plastic is superb low quality cheap, it is yellowish with not constant surface. Lucky it can easier peel off! Suggest peel off that rubbish plastic if your phone already got SP especially Glass SP.
Overall build is far better than Commuter series. Solid.
I like it color combination design on it, it look fantastic, the home button cover had no impact on press, it is easier to press.
The extra heavy front black clip I just keep aside, I confirm 100% won't use it, it is useful if you do construction work.
Like it!

Neo Hybrid is pretty but it is not as solid as Slim Armor. Slim Armor is much more solid but more bulky.

OP,
so which case is your favorite? are you still looking for the perfect case for you?

Can't tell, but if you ask my recommendation for back case, I will said SGP Slim Armor. It is solid build and not over bulky.
Otter Box is solid and nice to hold, no finger print, but some may find it a bit too thick.
Neo Hybrid - The beauties among the rest, but the least protection also.
I will still buying if I find some nice case. I actually quite like the UAG case, if only UAG revise the case by putting in the missing third hole.

If you buy, kindly post some photos, I like to see how it actually look, I like the back texture. Look nice. :good:

I am using the neo hybrid, I like it but I love the looks of the Slim Armor, I wish they would make a light version of it so it wouldn't be as bulky.

Does the Neo Hybrid interfere with the headphone jack in anyway? I had the Neo Hybrid on my S4, and I couldn't plug in most headphones.

Does the Neo Hybrid have opening for the speakers?

[REVIEW] Otterbox Commuter Case (w/ Screen Protector) for Galaxy Note

Otterbox Commuter Case
Samsung Galaxy Note

Before I begin...
Otterbox is renowned for their premiere armor-like phone cases. I have owned many phones and two of which I put Otterbox phone cases on. Outside of Otterbox cases, I have tried countless cases at a variety of prices and quality. Some cases are pretty good, but none have the same appeal, protection, and reputation that Otterbox does. Upon unboxing the Otterbox commuter case, I discovered both international and US versions of the phone screen protectors. And, in the photos I have uploaded, you'll see that I actually have the international Note screen protector instead of the US version. I'll explain later...
Both Otterbox cases I have owned (Motorola Atrix, Samsung Galaxy Note) are very similar to each other. Even though my Atrix had a Defender case and the Note now has the Commuter case, both actually give the same feeling of protectiveness, look, and feel. When I first put the Defender case on my Atrix, I immediately knew that Otterbox will be the case for all my phones in the future. Otterbox makes a plethora of cases for many makes and models of cellular phones, so I knew that we would eventually get these bad boys. I received mine yesterday and immediately ditched my previous case for the only case my Note will have protect it again.
Also... In my opinion, Otterbox cases speak for themselves and don't need actual reviews, just someone saying, "Go buy it now. You won't regret it."
The Look...
One word to describe this case would be: Armor. The way this case looks with the polygonal insets to connect the soft silicon to the hard shell casing gives it a great look. There are slotted cross dashes on the back of the case with Otterbox's logo near the bottom. The classic sloped front fit around the screen is also present with this Otterbox case. Everything about this case is sleek, stylish, and protective. Great looking case.
Defects? What defects... There were no defects present on this case, nor were there on my first Otterbox case. I expect this type of quality from Otterbox. If anyone has experienced defects with their Otterbox case, please comment and give some insight on the customer service portion of the Otterbox company.
The Fit...
Putting this case on the phone was more trouble than I thought it would be, but I welcomed it, since every other case I had up to now had yet to give me the right fit I was looking for. After about 30 seconds of initial fitting, the case is on and the fit is amazing. The tightness of the fitting of this case is great. It gives a great secure feeling to the phone that no other case has provided.
The power buttons and volume buttons are covered by solid elevated silicone, which provides just enough resistance to where it wont accidentally be activated by walking or bumping into things from within the pocket of your pants. The 3.5mm and phone charger inputs are covered by silicone flaps that are inset into the case. Both inputs are large enough to provide the physical connections with the cords without being obstructed by the case. The spen opening is generous and allows for easy removal. The speaker has an opening through the case as well.
The protection...
Apart from the protection that the case itself provides, Otterbox provides a screen protector (for both versions of the note) as well. Pretty straight forward screen protector, two films surrounding the outer and inner surfaces of the protector. It comes with a small microfiber wiping cloth and the squeegee for those pesky air bubbles. I started with the US version of the screen protectors (duh) but for some reason, i got dust on the protector itself and it was just a mess from the beginning, so I went ahead and put the international one on. The only difference between the two protectors is the cutout on the bottom of the international one. Looks a little odd, but it works.
Conclusion...
My overall experience with Otterbox has been great. Both cases I have owned have been of the utmost quality. No other case provides me with the look, the feel, and the protection that Otterbox has given me with their cases. I am very pleased with this case and highly recommend it to anyone.
not to point fingers.... but do you work for otterbox? Just never seen someone go through so much effort on a review as far as the layout goes, if you dont work for them i think the effort is awesome.
No I don't work for otterbox... but I may have put more effort into this than I think was needed, lol

Can you take pictures of the empty case next to the note so we can see how much bulk it adds?
How sticky is it when you pull it out of your pocket?
What is the responsiveness related to the cover and the s-pen?

Ill see what I can do about the pictures. As far as the stickiness of the case... its actually pretty smooth. Comes out of the pocket pretty easily. The spen has great responsiveness to the screen with the screen protector on. No difference as far as I can tell with the screen protector.

I had an Otterbox Commuter on my late Dell Streak and it was really good but a little bulky. And it didn't have a cradle! On my Note I have Seidio Active with a kickstand and cradle, and I should say it's more elegant and compact with same level of protection. Just my two cents...

Nice review.
When the case is on, do you find any added resistance when putting the phone in or taking it out of your pocket? Thanks.
I have been looking for a case for my note for a long time. This one looks pretty damn nice. Do you have a link on where to buy it from?

Great case
I just bought this case a few days ago. All i can say that it is a very sturdy and rugged case. I would have opt of the defender for about $15 more but they did not have it in stock so I got the commuter.
Overall a solid case. Definitely recommend

Honestly the three cents is inconsequential. It could have been a couple dollars more and I still would have gotten it simply because the seller is SpigenSGP (who also happen to make the best crystal clear screen protectors I've ever used), and they have a 100% seller rating.
Nice review. Any problems with dust particles on the silicon portion of the case when pulling the Note out of a pocket? With other cases that has been my experience and the look of the case decreases due to it.

you get some dust but for me it was on the outside of the case. I got my commuter off amazon for half price! I dont think it makes it bulky like the other Otter box case but it makes it have a good feel in the hand. without it the phones feels slippery.

Mega 6.3 cases

Because this isn't a main stream phone, from what I can see, the choice of cases out there are really slim.
I bought a cheap case off ebay, which is ok, but i'm not terribly happy with. The case is from taipo212 on ebay, the 'rubber hard coating skin case'. It fits well and looks pretty good initially, but marks too easily due to the matte/rubber like material. It also came with a couple small marks already on it. However, I needed a case till I find the perfect case, and it was cheap.
I'm waiting on another case from ebay, which I will comment on when I receive it. A 'clear hard tough case' from 'yousave-au'. Would love to hear from anyone that has this already.
I couldn't find a generic cases thread for the mega 6.3, so I think this thread would be a big help to lots of people.
Can anyone who has a case comment on if the case is good, where you got it from etc, even people with bad experiences, if they can let us know, so we know what cases to avoid
I just ordered one of these from eBay UK for £1.99 with free screen protector. I like these ones as they are cheap and durable, it protects the whole phone and I have been using the same type of case for my Nexus 7, Original Note, Lg L3, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with no problems.

There are lots of generic cases available for the Mega 6.3 and in my experience they are quite good. Here are some ultra thin ones, I have tried this type of case on my original Note but didn't like it as the top and bottom of the phone are exposed to scratches.
These ones are advertised as Hydro Gel Rubber, whatever that means. I have also tried this with my original Note but after a few months it became loose and I went back to the S Line type case.
I use the S-Line and like it alot.
The phone is still slim and the texture is such that it doesnt hang up inside your pants front pocket when I pull it out..
Comes out and goes in smooth and is not slippery feeling like it will squirt out of my hand..
Im impressed. Just the features that I like..
EXCEPT.... one gripe.. I want the button covers removed. I want to feel and press the actual button and not the rubber button bumper..
I have a NillKin snap-on hard case (in black) for mine. This is quickly becoming my case of choice for all my phones - it's classy and maintains the thin waistline. It doesn't provide all-round edge protection though, so you need to be a bit more careful I also have a generic snap-on clear case, which looks alright but sits hard against some patches of the back, making it look a little cheap lol.

The "Army Green" version, it's really a very dark brown like oiled leather or hunter leather. It has the same look and feel as a wallet I bought from Amazon UK (Visconti Hunter) though of course it's not leather.
There's no go to sleep magnet in it but that was easily fixed. It's a third of the price of the last case I bought and feels much nicer in the hand, the inner phone holder part is hard plastic not tpu and is open at either end with cut outs for the volume and power buttons.

IMO the spigen slim armor case is probably the nicest, slimmest, case there is while still protecting your phone... I love mine. I bought a white phone and wanted to stay with white
Is there a difference between international versions and the US versions with theses cases? Like not having certain holes cut out for antennae placement

Agreed. I bought the gunmetal one for my black G3 and couldn't be happier. True to form, I dropped it last night (grumble grumble) and though the case got a tiny bit scuffed on the tumble/slide across the concrete, the phone is unaffected.

Gun metal one here too. Looks great. I still can't believe how light this phone is even with a case

And THIN! My G3 doesn't feel any thicker than without it, and didn't lose that great stock feel the G3 has.
I'm really REALLy digging these Hyperion Titan cases. I'll have to do a review on one in a few days. Really great fit.
How much bulk does that hyperion add?
Almost none. Let me get my calipers...
According to my digital calipers, the stock devices 9.76 mm. With the case it is 13 mm.
3.24mm thicker with the case. The front lip that protects the face is probably half of that.
Here's more pics...
I just ordered the spigon hybrid case with the clear back. I'm pretty careful with my phone do don't really need a super bulky one. Here's 2 links for sites with various case for people that are interested.

Thank you for the extensive pictures. I'm debating between this one and the Spigen Slim Armor. Main thing I like in the Spigen is the little bit of plastic it puts between the volume up and the camera lens, I find myself hitting the lens by mistake a lot and I think this would help me find the volume better.
LG shows a nice looking Slim leather case but I don't see it for sale anywhere.

This might be an unanswerable question, but how sturdy is the color on the hard frame? A long time ago I had a case like this for my S3 and within a month the color on the corners of the hard plastic was starting to wear off. I've since then only used cases where the soft portion has color and the hard part is black or white.
Otherwise I've been eyeballing the Hyperion cases since they started showing up online. I like how slim they are and how they maintain the back curve of the phone.

Thanks button is for thanks man. Not an issue, folks here help me all the time, I like to help back.
I can see a thin part like that being helpful, but this looks great. BTW, I JUST noticed there is a plastic cover on the power button and volume buttons I didn't peel off. How did they ever expect anyone to notice that? Much better now!
To find the volume button I put my finger on the power button and slide up.

Seems pretty frigging sturdy. I don't think it is painted, I think thats actually colored plastic. I've got mine in a cheap holster (see the nasty red case in my first post) and no issues at all yet. I'll keep you all up to date though.
Juswanted to say, I got the Spigen Slim Armor in gunmetal from amazon for 17.99 i think? came fast.. and its been great. I'm not a fan of big cases.. and this one stays pretty true to form.. I wish i could bareback it with nothing cuz the thing looks great by itself.. but, ya know

Some users are discussing it here
So far I've tested the Spigen Slim Armour and the Cruzerlite TPU. The slim amour does do a better job of protecting the phone but I'm finding the plastic back to be to slippery for my taste one handed, where the cruzerlite doesn't slip at all but also doesn't protect as we'll.

Nexus 6 - unicorn beetle hybrid protective bumper case review

Hi Gang,
I tried submitting this to Supcase itself on the product page of their website, but they have reCaptcha issues, I couldn't so it - So I was able to submit to them via the form for contacting them, which didn't have the same issue.
I figured that it could also be used here. Link to product (get through Amazon though, cheaper) and review I typed up:
http://www.supcase.com/google-nexus-6-unicorn-beetle-clear-bumper-protective-case.html
"New Nexus 6, and wanted a good looking case to go with it. Over at XDA Developers, the discussion drifted towards several, however the Supcase Hybrid jumped out at a lot of us besides myself.
I cannot speak to actual protection, nor do I really want to find out, however the case arrived 1 day before the phone, and my thoughts follow after 2 days of use (I have the Frosted Black):
Awesome aesthetics! - From the bevels on the front edges of the lips at the screen edge to the overall looks and integration of the outer PC ring to the TPU shell, it just looks fantastic. It doesn't, in my opinion, add any real size to the phone itself. The ridges give it some grip, and the TPU seems to be grippy enough for me (especially if you have a little sweat as you are getting used to handling this beast).
The cutouts work well, I only noticed a slight misalignment of the microphone hole on the back, that could be just due to the phone, or manufacturing, but overall it is not a deal breaker, enough of it is there to make it only noticeable as if one is writing a review, in operation no one would be able to tell (there are those who would just drill it out a bit and issue solved, I don't feel it necessary.)
Having the dimple for the Motorola symbol and the camera cutout make great reference points for using your hand holding it if not taking a pic/video, the phone is well balanced and once you have had it a couple of days you know what you can and shouldn't do with it in that regard. (I use Voice to text a lot, so I do not feel the urge to do one handed typing).
The power button and volume rocker are tight - in a good way - meaning you definitely have a solid feel to both. While others feel that the power button should have a different feel, or ridges on it to separate it from the rocker, my feeling on this is that for this phone, you only have the power and volume rocker, is it really that hard to know what you have slid your finger onto? (Realistically I would have preferred if Moto had placed the volume rocker on the other side as like my old Galaxy Nexus, that accomplished separation, plus if Supcase had made one like this for that phone, each side would lend to give leverage to the other when pressing, I'm saying those buttons are solid, and that's what you want.
I chose the frosted over the black/black, because I want to see the nexus logo, and they didn't disappoint, the phone I have is blue however the frosted areas give it a grey tone even in direct sunlight, and it complements the black outer PC ring. Outstanding.
The only negativity I can find is that on my unit after two days, the upper PC lip seems to be slightly "up" from the phone, this is, I feel, due to me having taken the case off a couple of times, my method was to push te top of the screen up and then corners over to then slide off, it may be that it should be set and forget, but this is not a deal breaker either, it has to give a bit to get onto and off the phone, but it is on, and on good, it's not going anywhere.
That's it for my review - If you want a minimal case to use with the phone that looks great, this is the one to get, as stated I cant say how well it would protect your phone, I've only dropped a phone once, and don't want to try this one, but for the cost they offer for it, you get every penny."
Marc
Nice ?
This is my favorite case so far on this phone. I use the clear one on my white N6 and it looks awesome.
Now if only someone had pics of the red one (cant find anything online). And if only someone had pictures of any color with carbon fiber skin showing through.

I don't have pictures of red one, but my buddy bought exactly the same case for his Note 4, red one, and... well... in reality it looks more pinkish than redish... long story short, he went back to his old case after a week because of the color.

Wow that is a very nice case, as far as the slimmest case that still offers protection. You guys think there's anything else competitive? Like a silicone one that fits really well?

The Spigen tpu air bumper case would be what your looking for. The supcase is nicer though still.
Thx for the fast response. Those were nice but I wanted skinnier. I ordered Ringke slim gunmetal. Ok, no? It's not for major drop protection I mainly just want to minimize case scratches.

I saw this case and immediately ordered it. It'll get here before my N6 will . :crying:
I'm kind of a case whore though, and will probably buy several others before all is said and done. With my Nexus 5, I had 13 cases. Nice little review, thanks.
Ordered on Saturday, received it today. Love Amazon 1 day shipping (was actually free for me on Prime).
First impressions, it is a really nice premium case. It feels good in the hands, buttons are nice to press on (not as nice as Ringke Fusion but better than Spigen Ultra Hybrid). Doesn't add much bulk, plays nice with my tempered glass protector, cutouts are perfect. The dimple is properly aligned with the case. So far I'm pretty impressed and this is probably the best case in my opinion that shows off the back of the phone.
The camera cutout could be further in but is deep enough to withstand a drop if the phone was to be dropped. The phone with the case inside feel good in the hands.

Yea same here, kind of surprising, had never seen free one day shipping before. But ordered yesterday and got it today.
So far, love it. I also ordered a ringke slim and a spigen slim armor. The ringke is easily the smallest case as it is really slim, but it also feels like a cheapish piece of plastic. The spigen was good, but a little bit hefty and the buttons on it were terrible.
This is inbetween in size. Small enough that the added bulk doesn't make the phone seem too big, but enough to feel it offers some food protection. It feels good in the hand and looks great. The buttons are a bit stuff but pretty good.
The only real downside is the small microphone? hole near the bottom of the back is slightly misaligned, as the op said.
Can you guys please compare to the ringe fusion?
Also interested in the difference in bulk between this and the fusion
Supcase feels a little thicker but I think its more that the material is harder. It definitely feels slightly bulkier than the fusion.
Just received mine. First case for my nexus as I just received it today too but damn does it feel good. Buttons feel nice and love the clear back to show off the white. Deff slim and love the way its perfectly designed for the nexus with the indent on the back.
I have the PRO SERIES an man is it good! I've had it on since a week after I got the phone. Only complaint is the camera hole is to long (all the way to the Moto symbol). But the protection is there, feel is good, grip is excellent, all cutouts are lined up great! Add the fact that our N6's are water resistant! I'm feeling safe!

There's a difference, but it's not a bad difference. It's bulkier than the Fusion but still very much slim and easy to hold in 1 hand.

Major comparisons:
1. Buttons on the Ringke Fusion is a lot better, it's clicky. But by no means that the Supcase buttons are bad, they're actually pretty good and nice to press but Fusion is clicky.
2. The Ringke Fusion back is prone to scratches very easily and depending on what color you get. Crystal View may become "yellowish" over time.
3. The dust covers aren't on the Supcase which is a ++++. Yeah you can cut it off but that's kinda cheap.
4. The Nexus 6 "dimple" is present on the Supcase which is really cool, makes the N6 easier to hold on.
5. Supcase has more grip and feels better in the hands. It is slightly more bulky but doesn't add much bulk when compared to a Spigen Slim Armor or something. Very easy to type with one hand and hold with excellent grip.
I love the look of this case (always have) but I'm concerned with the amount of protection it provides vs the Diztronic Ultra I ended up buying on release back at the end of Nov or beginning of Dec (whenever it came out.. Can't remember).

THINNEST full coverage Case and it's only $5!

So far I've tried over 7 cases and this is the THINNEST case you can get for the S7 and it offers full coverage. It is like having a nearly bare phone. The dot pattern on the back is great because it prevents the glass from sticking to the plastic giving it that wet look. The case I got has a great fit and the front lip hugs the phone well on all sides. If you are looking for a clear phone to really show off the galaxy s7 while having the least amount of bulk possible this is the case to get, not to mention it is only $4.98 on Amazon. You can check the case HERE on some angles you can't even tell there is a case on the phone.
If you need drop protection and need an otterbox type of bulk protection this is definitely not for those users, but for those who just want the least amount of bulk w/ a bit of protection and full coverage around the bezels, this is a great little case.
I just got the spigen thin fit (exact fit). it looks just as thin as the above case and also is open on top and bottom so becomes even more minimal. for those that care about protecting the back glass but not parts of the frame. got it on sale for $5 plus shipping...

dont have my s7 yet but i assume it should still work, i have had similar cases on my nexus 5 and the qi charging still worked...
Thanks for finding this OP, I just ordered one. I am not usually a case guy and tend carry my phones naked with just a carbon fiber skin added for grip. But with the S7 and its rounded back not proving well so far in early drop tests, I am looking for the thinnest case possible - already ordered 3 of them.
The Spigen looks great, but I'd prefer the tops to be covered also if I am going to have a case on. When phones fall, the top bezel usually gets nicked. (ask my S6E )
OP - Does the packaging say how thin this case is in mm? I got the Spigen Clear Crystal that's supposedly 0.5 mm, another on eBay that's supposedly 0.3mm and have also seen others on eBay that claim 0.2 mm. Curious.

The wireless chargers work through Otterboxes, so yeah as long as the case is not metallic or ridiculously thick it will still work.
I got my gmyle case the OP told us about and put it on today. I am very impressed. Truly a slim case, it's thin enough to show off the curved back glass. I have 2 more coming in the mail, but this one's the best of the 2 I have tried so far (Spigen clear crystal before this and the gmyle is way better, way thinner).
Thanks for sharing OP.

I ordered this one a few weeks ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/291687582792?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Looks similar except for the camera cutout, in some of the pics it does look pretty slim and it also look like it has a curve on the back. It should be here any day now.
I got the red shield slim case.
To bad I didn't stumble upon this thread sooner.
Looks similar to the gmyle peachpuff. For reference, here are two other slim cases I ordered - note the ebay one says "0.3 mm" ? If you search hard enough on ebay, you can now find as low as "0.2 mm" thickness. The Spigen TPU case for comparison is 0.5 mm.
The eBay one and the bomea one haven't gotten here yet. My idea for the bomea hard case is to wrap it in carbon fiber slick wraps which I already have waiting. But the bomea hard case is not thin enough to show off the curved back, which is a bummer.
We will see, but so far I am extremely happy with the gmyle case. Never been a case guy (always carried the phones naked with just a slick wrap) but with a case as thin as this one, the benefits of having a case outweigh the disadvantages.

OK guys, the "bomea" case came in, and it is gorgeous!
It doesn't protect the top and bottom, but I think I am OK with it, since the back glass seems to be the most fragile part of this phone (from drop tests so far).
Not covering the bottom means that it fits within the Gear VR perfectly. Which is an added bonus.
It is even thinner and less obtrusive than the "gmyle" case if that's possible.
It does show the curved back, which I was not expecting so that's a bonus.
It feels really nice in the hands too (soft texture). bomea and the gmyle are both keepers.
Bought an unbranded case identical to that for $1.40 from ebay

Has that ebay case arrived? For $1 plus free shipping, you can't really beat that. Looks just as thin as the case mentioned from Amazon
I'm using the Ringke Slim. Had one on a previous S4 and really liked it. Super thin but enough of a lip to elevate the screen when flipped over on a desktop.
I had ordered one of the $ .99 TPU cases from eBay but that may be weeks until it shows up.
