Slimmest Case That Will Keep The LG3 Original Ergonomics? - G3 Accessories

Hi All,
Although I voted for I'll not use a case with the LG3, I'm not sure about it. So I'm looking for a case (not tpu case) to protect the phone from scratches and minor falls or bumps(+title). Any suggestions?
Thanks

i bought this one less than $10 hard plastic on the back and rubberized on the sides very thin profile case

EDIT: here are some that LG is releasing that look promising (one is just a back plate) and they have qi charging capabilities.

some of the cases u all link here have a hole on top. is for korean ver

Yes. It's for the Korean version it's a cut for the antenna, I emailed some of them and they wrote me back that they aren't going to make cases without the antenna hole.

I ordered the Fosmon TPU case. I've had good luck with these on other phones and they are very thin and do not change the look of the device:

I think I'll go for the Spigen Ultra fit with their tempered glass bundle. I hope that it fits the International G3 (D855).

Yea I'm getting a ringke case as well. They are the slimmest cases available for the g3 and cover the whole phone.. Going for the black one as I bought a gold g3 so it should look good with a black case.

A bit bulky but it offers good protection. Been using Spigen all the time even my S4.

For the Korean version, this is the best. It brings wireless charging and it protects the phone.

Thinnest case with drop protection?

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.

Metal battery cover?

Hey guys!
Im looking to get the Note on a concession line from my job (That or the S3, and I have a serious love for the note) and have been looking around for some fun accessories before I take the plunge. Im curious, is there an aluminum back cover for the I717 note, or is it specific to the international variant?
Also, any case recommendations would be great. Im leaning toward the Kraken because of the durability and belt clip...Im just a little concerned about the size. Ive had trident before and cred them whenever possible. They have fantastic products. Thanks!
You could get a glass screen protector and a tpu case if thickness gets you. I have an otter box right now and its easily 2x as thick

Our Note has an NFC antenna in the convert that would be shielded by metal. ICS enabled NFC.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I've got a Trident case for mine. They offer a lot of protection but not as bulky as otter box. Reasonable on the price as well.
so my question is will the battery cover fit? because i don't really care about the NFC function.

cheap clear case 9$

So I bought this case off ebay. It's pretty good I bought it mainly to protect the back leather area so I don't get any scratches I would recommend it. The case comes with a screen protector and a kickstand. Sorry 1st post figured I'd pitch in bought a heavy duty case also soon to come
I bought this case off amazon for cheap and it's surprisingly good. For the price.

I still think Diztronic holds the crown for best affordable case and arguably best case at any price for it's slim profile. It provides a lip around the screen as well as a lip around the camera.
I'd originally ordered the case as a temporary case until my Spigen Neohybrid case came in. But with Spigen screwing around with the ship date I decided to cancel the order completely and simply use the Diztronic case permanently. The quality is excellent and based on pictures of the Neo Hybrid, the Diztronic case is also more compact since the edge conforms to the phone more than the Spigen case does.

Hah I did the same thing. I ordered a case as a "get by" case but ended up liking it a lot.
My NH is "supposed" to ship on the 24th so I guess Ill just wait instead of risking it never getting canceled. I just hope it fits right.
Never thought accessories would be so limited for this phone. My local Verizon store only got 6 note 3's in on the launch day...

I have this case and it really does not add a lot of bulk to the phone.
I would say around half the thickness of the Spen on its slimmer side, if that makes sense.
Protects the phone really well though, since it has 2 material composition.
I have dropped my phone from my face height several times (talking while holding multiple other stuff on both hands) but case looks fine besides a few surface scratches.
Thickness is about 7/16 (.4375) or 11mm.

Just looked at the bumper they have on their site and it looks very similar to the Poetic and Bear Motion, doesn't seem slimmer and its 2/3 times the price. Looks good though, but not for 24 dollars.

Doesn't look all that similar to me. My main concern is that it might have a transparent shell based on that watermark logo in the pics. That would prevent me from using it with my slightly thicker official Samsung wireless charge cover battery door. The Bear Motion / Poetic case fits fine but I hate the squishy power button. They don't show any pics without a phone so I can't tell if there is a shell or not. With a shell it wouldn't technically be a bumper, but Love Mei is guilty of that error too.

Anyone buy a Otterbox yet???

My friend want to buy one. And he wanted to see how it fit, Since the phone is in tablet territory in size.

I've had Otterbox on another device, it wasn't nearly as good as the price would make you think. The rubber stretches after a time and doesn't fit properly, the screen protector is awful and on mine the belt clip broke after about 7 months.
If he really wants to spend the money there are better cases out there. Like the Seidio http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-Samsung-Galaxy-Mega-6-3-s/8996.htm

Defender
I've had the O-Box Defender on my Mega since day 1. Love it. I attached a disc to the back so I can even wear it on my belt. :silly:
I got an otterbox for a galaxy mega, it feels great but It may have made the phone too big
I would try out the Trident Aegis case and fit the screen with a 9H tempered glass and your phone would be invulnerable to drops. I added this combination to my Mega 6.3 when I first got it and had a few drops here and there and nothing broke or chipped. The rubber material of the case is thicker and stronger then Otterbox's Defender in my opinion.
