Hello. I had a UAG for my note 2 and liked the protection but wouldn't mind a slimmer case For the note 3. The product details lead me to believe the spg Slim armor view is thinner and will still protect against drops. Can anyone verify if that is accurate?
It's decent protection. The uag offers more protection though. I had the UAG and decided to try the slim armor. I really like it. It's thinner and lighter. Lip is alot smaller on the slim armor but I've got a tempered glass so I'm not worried.

@flipq88 - If you don't mind me asking, which tempered glass screen protector are you using with your Slim Armor?

The Iloome Screenmate, no issues whatsoever with either uag or slim armor.

I guess bottom line is that periodically I drop my phone. Do you believe the Slim armor would protect it?

UAG is so much better looking. Trust me go for it. It doesn't add that much bulk and now its on sale you can get one for 23 $ only. Slim armor is also glossy which I don't like.
Personally the UAG for me. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554415

Just picked up the note yesterday. Didn't get insurance on it so obviously I'm quite paranoid and can't afford to break it. At the same time though i don't want a huge bulky case. Id like a case that's thin and lightweight but will offer moderate protection if im careful with it. Suggestions?

You won't get drop protection with a thin case. Thin cases, like most of the hard surface ones, are more like scratches protection.
You could get TPU case, the real rubbery one, and not the hard one with rubberized surface. It will still be thin.
For best drop protection, you will need a thick one like Seidio or Otterbox (if they release one)

The SGP Ultrathin has fitment issues on the Note, enough to force me to return mine. Would rec avoiding it and going with the Elago Slim case as a super thin replacement.
via my AT&T Note
Yeah i know i can't get anything crazy thin and have drop protection but i also don't want something completely huge. Maybe i will be ok with just a real thin one though if it has good grip and a bit of a lip on the front. Has anyone heard of broken screens yet? Or is it worth it to get otterbox/similar?

That seems inexpensive but do the screen protectors work with the I717?
I bought "Speck" case thru AT&T. Shiny plastic outside and rubber inside. Happy with it.
Screen protectors, got the zagg invisible shield from bestbuy. It feels rubbery and stylus having hard time gliding over it.
My suggestion: Do not buy ZAGG screen protector for Note.

After much deliberation I just bought a white sense ultra slim pouch.I think I'll like that as I it'll give it great protection and can still use the phone naked

I like this case. I have some questions for you. How do you like it? How do you attach the plastic outer piece once the the rubber liner is in place? Can you still remove the battery door while the bumper is on? Is there a lip on the front and the back to protect the screen and the camera? And it there room for a screen protector (like the Glas.t)? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks.

Plastic with a leather inner backing to resist scratching. It's not super protective but it's done my Galaxy Nexus well. I really don't like cases, but this one has been the exception.
I absolutely love the Ringke Slim. Had one for my SII also. It's perfect for me.

anyone have the incipio feather case? looking at getting this and just seeing if anyone has any complaints on it?
I have the Incipio feather shine in black. Its by far my favorite case that Ive bought so far for this phone. The fit is great as are the look and feel. Its not as slippery as my Ringke Slim case was either. I would recommend it.

How badly does this case attract lint? I see a lot of dual layer cases and stay away from them for this reason; they all seem to use super soft silicon that is a lint magnet. I am pretty picky too, I hate taking it out of my pocket and having it lined with lint.

I don't know about the feather, but I have the dual shine from incipio and it is horribly designed. I can't recommend it.
I have the body glove case from sprint. this is the best case by far, textured, matte back, so I'm not going to drop it. I had the flip case, but that was too much for me. I Also had a silicone case from Amazon, but that was too glossy and it was a fingerprint magnet.

What are some good slim cases?
I was looking at the spigen ultra fit though that doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone so if I drop it the bottom or top can still get damaged.

The perks of a slim case comes with its disadvantages along with the slim profile look. Drop once, and the charm fades away of a slim case.
Neo Hybrid is a go-in-between the slim and the protective kinds, hence so many people prefer Neo Hybrid to other skinny ones.
I used to have a Diztronic on my iPhone few years back, and accidently i dropped the phone on a concrete driveway.. i did'nt feel like holding my hands after that, always kept it in the pocket.. it was dinged that bad.

I havent used bounce. Most of my colleagues and friends have moved to neo hybrid after witnessing my phone.
On the neo hybrid thread you can see some pictures of neo alongside bounce.
I just seen the caseology slim fit case. Looks like a great case. I don't know what to get. The caseology, bounce, or neo.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
The neohybrid adds a tiny bit of bulk but it's really not noticeable much to me. It's still a very thin case. It also is the best looking case I've seen. I sound like a shill for Spigen I know, but the case is really nice. I suggest this case to everyone I know who has a model for their phone.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Just put on my Bounce, it's not bad- not too bulky. I looked at the neo hybrid and thought way too much added bulk.
Im going to keep my SView case as my phone's 'formal' case and the Bounce as it's 'casual' case.

I have the neo hybrid and diztronic. Diztronic is slimmer and has better grip. Neo hybrid offers a little better protection. The bounce is pretty much the same case as the diz. I had a bounce and returned it.
I've been eyeballing the surface but I wonder if it's compatible with my iloome 9H glass protector. I'd like to have a kickstand and a holster just in case I ever wanted to use it.

OP did say slim case, UAG is definitely not slim!
In the past I found Cimo to have the grippiest edges. The Speck Candyshell grip (just released) is the grippiest I have and isn't nearly as bulky or bulky feeling as the UAG in comparison.

It's as minimal as it gets. It also has a sand like texture that's easy to grip.

It's probably the size of the commuter. If you had the Aegis for the note 2 then you'll notice that it's thicker because this case is a 2 piece. The Aegis for the Note 2 was one piece.
