Considering Korean G3's are the only ones with the TV antenna, I'm wondering if we'll get cases without the cutout for that. How long do you think it will be before we start to see them?
There are plenty of cases without the cut out just look on again or eBay. We don't need a OP when they are already released. These were found within 30 seconds on amazon.
Some examples

As far as the Ringke Slim case, don't expect a version for the variant without the adjustable antenna. Here is the response I received from REARTH this morning regarding creating a version without the antenna cutout:

It's a shame really. It would be the perfect case for those of us who love the minimal look. But I just can't get myself to love a case with a giant cutout for something my phone doesn't even have.

I emailed them too, because i REALLY liked their clear Fusion case. I'm still going to buy it because it's the best looking clear case I've seen so far. But I would love one without the cutout.

Thanks. I was curious... damnit
I heard Spigen gonna make the case for international version of LG G3.
And actually, I can find out some case without antenna hole on Amazon.com
My Tudia TPU has no antenna cutout.
I think it's already available now.
I saw the picture that Spigen case without antenna cutout on a comment of other thread.
and there are alreday some case without that actually.
If you like Spigen here is the link of the post I made on another thread.

Has anyone purchased one of these cases in any of the colors? Judging by the pic it appears that it is one piece. I was thinking of getting one and then cutting out the back to make a sleeker fitting bumper case. I currently use the Belkin bumper, but would like a one the isn't as thick. What do you think?

I bought the white version of the case, should be getting it within the next few days. I'll let you know about the potential of converting it.
Interesting idea :good:
If the sides are strong enough to support the phone without the back?

Case just came in today. From the look and feel of it, it is very possible to convert it to a bumper case, it's a tight fit around the phone and the black portions that would make up the bumper case rap around the back of the phone just enough it feels to do it. I personally like the back panel so I won't be converting it. The other thing of note is that they made a space on the side of the phone so you can access the micro sd and sim port easily without removing the case, so that piece is missing, which may be an issue for a bumper case.
I posted about how the case is as a whole on the "E970 Case Links - For All Your Casing Needs" thread if you want to see pics and such.
Link to the post is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36112988&postcount=81
Hope this helps!
Thanks for your review. I actually don't like that the slot is open. I would much rather it be solid. I have no need to access the micro SD. I may go ahead and get one and cut the back out and see what it is like though.
I did buy this case yesterday and will let you know when it comes in. If you're interested in buying you can see the sellers information in the screen shot. There are several different colors available.

Yeah, please let us know how it is! I personally love hybrid cases so I may pick that up, this tpu case is a good cheap starter case, but if your review is good I may have to pick that up.

Looking forward to the results - I had the Belkin bumper but it was too bulky and returned it and bought a Diztronic case to hold me over until something better came out
Here are some pictures of the case.
First impressions are great.
Feels very nice
Fits snugly
Quality is very good
I have no idea why they exposed the screws in the bottom.
The power and volume buttons are covered but work fine. They are labeled and are flush with the case. The micro port as well as the headphone jack are over sized. I have a micro cable that normally I couldn't use that does for with this case.
I would definitely recommend this case.

has someone already discovered a carbon fiber battery cover for the SGN3?
most of these don't come out good... hardly any company use real carbon for their products.
I had two nice looking in good quality for my SGN2 - a flip cover and one battery case only - it give the device an "exclusive touch" - I miss it

There is a TPU carbon fiber back (in white and black) on Amazon but it's "hidden" pretty well; needed to do some deep searching. It's by Ginovo.

I have one that I bought from AliExpress.com and it's decent. It's not real carbon fiber, but it feels nice and it was only $7 and some change. I also bought a brushed aluminum one for the same price. I like them, and since they were cheap, I'm not concerned the carbon fiber is only a "look"
I wouldn't mind that dark blue one

I actually ended up getting one of the carbon fiber back covers on ebay, it was a replacement exchange because the aluminum one I was sent blocked signal.
I actually really love the feel it gives the phone, it looks like the kevlar on the motorola phones, and I actually returned my S-view case because of it!

the carbon fiber one is the same as the one linked on page one for the ebay version.
I actually would send you the link, but the ebay sellers store closed down, and when that happened, I didn't think he would send me the replacement for free as an exchange, so I requested my money back. I ended up getting my money back and the next day the cover came in the mail. I felt bad, but there was nothing I could do, his ebay store closed. Plus, it was closed for a reason anyways.
I now have a carbon fiber and an aluminum back cover that I got for free!
I remember we did this for the S4 when it first came out and it gave me some great ideas about looking outside cheap Chinese junk rubber cases for a decent case.
This time around I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid ( see here )

Great case and looks very nice.
This is the exact case that I have @ ashraf sharif. Though I have a zagg glass screen protector. Not the cheapest, but the 8 bux, I paid best buy to install it paid off immediately, as the first one didn't lay down correctly, so he replaced it right then and there.

This is the lightest bumper frame case available obviously only protects the corners and sides because it has no back. Its a great case for those that want the "naked" feel on the phone and still be protected from most drops...the material is a clear TPU so a side benefit is you can see if the S5 battery cover is properly sealed in case you plan on getting your phone wet. Less than three bucks on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JB2I1V8?vs=1

I think someone said that bumper scratched the phone. Just letting ya know. I was going to buy but didn't want to take a chance.
This one is different from mine, with the sliding closure, seems safer
I got a Love Mei metal bumper, with the clasp.
Fit fine over a dBrand backing and didn't even hit the Zagg on the front. However, my cell reception was awful. (Fixed as soon as I took the bumper off.)
I have yet to see anyone mention bumper case for the Nexus 6, does anyone know if it'll be available anywhere? I think it'd be slick to have a metal/aluminum bumper case!
i dont think this has been yet developed, bumpers probably made by RhinoShield might become available forma such great phone though.
