My 2nd mod. Couldnt find a bumper that was super thin so I sorta just made my own. My main purpuse is to protect the sides. My screen already has tempered glass and the battery cover is great for grip and didn't want to cover it with a case.
Bought this from ebay. Its a dark smoke color but in the pictures it looks black.

Dremmeled out the center
Made the lines as straight as I can. And use an exacto to cut off the excess. And used a nail file to smooth the edges out as much as possible.
Final product. Not as smooth as I wanted but no time anymore for tonight.
Front with Tempered glass
I think I may buy another and make a trim around the camera to protect it when it's on its back. Just glue it on the battery cover so it's permanent.

Pretty impressive. I actually use a Super clear piece of Scotch tape to cover the lower portion of the flash area since that's all that touches. Works great and easily replaced.

I have the Seidio Active with kickstand and holster. I really like the way it feels in the hand the protection that it offers. I am having one issue and I don't know if there is a solution to it. The soft inner case is one heck of a dust and pet hair magnet. Is there anything that can be put on it that can reduce to amount of dust it attracts?
I have the same case, minus kickstand.
The neverending complaint of silicon jackets is that they collect and hold on to lint, dust, grime, so on. I'm sure you could experiment and find something that could be sprayed on such as a spray on clear coat, but being flexible I don't think it would stay. The best advice I can offer, and it's not going to be of much help, is to just get used to it. I painted the snap on plastic piece when I was refinishing a couple firearms and had extra paint mixed up. Turned out better then I though and not the colored case drawls the eye and you don't notice the lint.

I am sure that there are a lot of people with a lot of different solutions. I found one that a friend mentioned and it seems to be working for me. I used some glass wax on the silicon and so far so good.

I've nver even heard of glass wax. Is it wax for glass? Seems kinda counter intuitive, maybe just called that because its clear?
I don't know if it is different from other wax but yes it is for glass. I have used it for a while now on touchscreens as well as my glasses. It reduces noticable smudges and fingerprints..
Like this?

I think it is a different brand but yes it is like that.
So i opted for the folio wallet vase in black leather patterned in carbon fiber. The look and feel is extremely high quality and my note fits very snugly. I've already dropped my note (on purpose) from varying heights and i can attest to the cases ruggedness. It will protect the phone. The snap is very small and aided by a magnate. I feel comfortable leaving this rig in my back pocket and sitting on it. Also the snap fold out of the way when the phone is open. The kickstand feels very durable, though I'm sire its just high quality plastic with leather cover. My only wishes is that there were nfc tags and if they could somehow turn off the screen when closing the cover. All in all a great purchase at $60 on amazon.

I just bought proximity screen off and it has a setting to turn off and on with the opening and closing of the cover.

Theres an app called smart cover that will turn the screen on or off when opened or closed like the ipad. been using it with the samsung flip cover and works great
After a few days with the case I'm very satisfied. I've dropped my phone several times and everything remains intact. The only problem is the when you have things in the wallet side, it puts the case at an odd angle and the kickstand doesn't work.

What? No pics with it on your phone?
I do not recommend this. I got this even before my note arrived. It feels nice and not too bulky, but cutout are little off everywhere. Good for temporary protection for the minimalistic look , but I couldn't stand for the awkward cut outs for camera, power... And volumes... Pain on my eyes once it catches

Hmmm, I've got no problem with the cutouts on mine, they are perfect. I would compare this to the leather case for the iPhone 5S, although this isn't real leather, it is very nice and adds no weight really.
I try to get case but couldnt decide yet.Can you guys post photo of your phone with case here please?
Thanks

I've just got the Roxfit Slimline Book Case from Amazon today, alas, no phone as yet! Its cheaper than the official Sony case, I paid £13.50, but is well made with a quality feel to it. Obviously I cant comment on fit or durability but Ive always had my phones in cases and this is one of the more premium feeling cases ive owned. Well worth the money based on its build quality.
Inside the front cover the material has a soft rubbery feel that grips onto the screen whilst closed to stop it moving around (roughly tested with my iphone 5 in the housing). The back of the case also folds away, similar to the official case so the phone can be placed in the charging dock. The outer material is similar to the apple iPad cover. The clear plastic shell that holds the phone has a thin foam layer in to absorb any shock and prevent any scratches on the rear glass panel.
I've still got a week wait for my phone before I can test it thoroughly.

I looked at one today at the TMO store and it was pretty bulky to me like an Otter Box. Had a built in screen protector too.
