Wireless charging kit looks same as GS4 one
I am hoping Spigen rolls out a Slim Armor View for the GN3 like they did for the GS4. They have a Slim Armor so I suspect they will offer a view case later one.
Cool Note 3 Cases
Love the leather body of the Note 3. DSstyles.com already have many cases for note 3. But, do we still need a case as the leather body is so nice?!

We need alternatives. I personally think the leather effect sounds a bit tacky, especially the stitching (is the stitching real, or is that imprinted as with the leather effect)
I don't want a case (my Galaxy Nexus is looking a bit scratched, but not noticeably so), I just want a plain back like the Galaxy Nexus (or even better, the Nexus 10)
A couple of cases have started to appear on Amazon. This one comes in many colors:

I've gotten Diztronic cases for my last few phones and I'm waiting to see their N3 variant.
I ended up getting the below. was about 20USD including shipping to me
I also got the below but I got the 3x value pack for 15-20USD including shipping to me. keeping in mind I live in New Zealand so shipping is always the dearest for me compared to rest of world
I'll be happy when these 2 arrive, and hopefully before my note 3, last time I recieved my note 2 before my screen protector, I ended up having that overally large plastic crap with the flap at the end (that it comes on with) for a week lol...
I've always been a fan of spigen, their screen protectors are perfect, it fits around everything with no gaps, unlike some protectors where they get to the home button then just drop vertically down, which means below the home button is open to elements... same with near the front camera etc, above it is open to elements... on other screen protectors I've noticed.

I have ordered the spigen ultra crystal and hybrid case too. But I'm not going to keep my hopes up since the stated shipping date is going to be late September and arriving date is mid October. I think I might get the phone before them come. That's why I bought a cheap tpu from eBay also hopefully to cover it before the two arrives from spigen.

Cool case. Sorry you missed out on the Spigen screen protector promo on Amazon.com they had a (4) pack for $1 for a few hours and I ordered (2) of them along with a Glas.tR Slim. I figure its always better to have spares on hand.
yeah just missed out, still though, that price is better than their website price xD

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case [pics and video]
Cruzerlite has been one of my favorite case companies for Android devices. When I used my Galaxy S3 and S4 as my daily driver device I always ended up using a Cruzerlite case for my case daily driver. Specifically I used the Android green A2 case for the GS3 and the Android Clone Army for the GS4. The design is simple but it looks good and thin. The same great designs are now available for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
What I like about Cruzerlite cases is that they are thin, smooth, pocketable and look great. TPU material is actually very durable. So you will be protected against scrapes, scratches and bumps. The case is raised above the screen so you have the option to place the phone face down without worry of screen damage. The case will protect against most drops. The installation is very easy and all ports/buttons are fully accessible. The Androidified case also has some extra grip on the sides that will help reduce the chances of the dreadful drops.
The green Bugdroid case looks really cool. The outline of the Andy logo stand out and the circuit board design really brings out the Android pride. Personally I like the green color and I think it looks cool on the white Note 3. One of my favorite designs Cruzerlite has is the Circuit Androidified case lineup.

why is there a huge cut out there? no mic hole or anything.. maybe a theres a note 3 that has the antenna thing that they have in asia because they like to watch tv and cruzerlite just made it like that so they can just manufacture one case... im not sure could help for heat from the cpu? i did notice it gets hot close to that area..maybe the cpu chip is by there..
thanks for the pic.. seems like a hole instead of the note 1 case were you can use a strap or a phone charm ect..

well mine just came.... fits nice but not perfect.. its ok.. i tried to realign it and pop it out and back in and you can still see the bezel on top/bottom pop out a bit just like the pic on the web site ..we get what we pay for.. its pretty slim thin i like it but my spigen is a tank of a case i seem to like it more even it has a more bulk to it. i still like the case.. i did notice it dont have a cut out hole the the right bottom corner next to the S-Pen as you can see..
also theres like a black dot or something on the back i tried to wash it but seems like it was caked/baked in the case.. should i contact them about it and the no hole for the what i think its the mic hole next to the S-PEN corner?

Does anyone here know if they will make a waterproof case for the note 3 I mean I bike a lot and sometimes I get caught in the rain I'm not sure if anyone else does. But does any one have any details. I see the s4 and the iPhone have it why can't the note 3 have it? Thanks people for the input.
Sent Via Tmobile note 3
Note 3 is a new device so you might have to wait until LifeProof or someone makes a case.
I would put it in a zip lock bag myself or one of those zip lock like bags made to protect you phone in water. I just would spend that much money on a case.
just checked ebay. Should be good enough if caught in the rain.

I seen the 1st one on the the link you sent me that would make do but I'm not sure of that buyer or the location where it's coming from. But the note 2 never had any water proof cases made so I doubt the note 3 would have any.

Up to you now.
Oh those are note 2 but yes I guess we will have to wait and see I never knew they had like those for the note 2? I tested out the s4 I use to watch netflix in the shower lol that's when breaking bad was a hit.
Sent Via Tmobile note 3
So it's been 3 months since the note 3 was released, do we now have waterproof cases available commercially?
if you search ebay you can find a few available.
Just as an FYI, those LoveMEI cases are not actually water proof. They are lightly splash resistant. Do NOT get it and rely on it to protect your device in any sort of standing water.
--EDIT NOTE--
Those marketing images are GROSS exaggerations of what the case can or should handle.
I actually waited until end of November for Note3 active, rumored to be released any day now. Finally I gave up waiting and got regular Note3, but still I'm surprised makers don't see market possibilities here, except maybe Sony. Anyhow, I'll be getting plastic ziplock thing they have to waterproof cameras etc. with BT headset for my outdoor adventures, but being as I'm buried under foot of snow, it seems like distant future, maybe they will have active model by then.
For what it's worth, I think the peer pressure is wearing down LifeProof to start working on one.

In addition, the ad for the LoveME case specifies NO S pen access. I imagine that would be possible by a simple plug, similar to the headphone jack cover on the Lifeproof case.

The Seido case looks cool but I have had better experience using those dry bags you can buy for phones. I have had a couple and they all work really well. I want to get a DryCase for my Note 3. The thing I like about them over the specifically designed cases is that with the bag you can throw in a small leather card holder with I.D. and your favorite method of payment and it all goes with you in one little package and stays dry as well.

I too am watching the Seido Waterproof case. The website shows video of the S3, but the case under development is definitely for the Note3.
Seido Water Proof case for NOTE 3 under development
I bought and returned the Trident Kraken AMS series Mil Spec case for the Note3. "independently tested" their website states. More like NEVER TESTED for NOTE3.
Trident changed the design from the other AMS cases that might be "rainproof". They don't cover up the speaker, the reset port, or the microphone. How the hell is that rainproof?

I finally talked a co-worker into buying a real phone, he went all out and got a Note 3. He ordered a blue Otterbox Defender and I cringed because I had read more than a few negative comments about it, never mind the fact that it was going to turn an already monstrous phone into something comical in girth and usability.
Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. I was downright shocked at how svelte the case was, and it is awesome in every way that counts. It looks good, it feels good, the buttons work perfectly, and it is some nice soft protection on the corners. I was dropping it onto a table onto a corner from about six inches up and it was just a very nice 'boing' when it hit (my co-worker did not share my enthusiasm for this part of the testing). Probably the most amazing thing of all is that it really feels good to use the screen. Yes, if you scrutinize you could see a faint rainbow effect under the wrong lights (like a lot of florescents), but it felt great. The screen cover on my iphone 4 otterbox was a joke, it ruined the feeling of the phone.
I don't even run with a case (I use Gelaskins, which are even more ridiculously slippery than my Note 2 already is), but if I jump ship to a Note 3 I would buy an Otterbox Defender in a heartbeat. I was downright amazed at how good it felt and looked.

I'm on Verizon and I pay $9.99/month with a $100 deductible that covers virtually everything...malfunction/defect, damage, loss, or theft. I've been a Verizon customer for 12+ years now. Never have had any real issues with them concerning insurance claims, etc. We've had to file a few different claims over all these years and haven't really had any problems out of the whole "process" thus far. I remain satisfied and content, even if Verizon IS one of the last carriers to push out official OTA updates. Oh well, there's more to choosing a carrier than just how fast they get OTA updates to their customers. Yea, it's probably nice to get em a lot quicker like some other carriers are able to do, but I'm usually not too concerned about all that, so I'm still a happy camper either way.
just buy one
i buy the middle price ,use very nice and look like original,save money
I have this case and the design is much slimmer than the my note 2 Otterbox defender case!
It's not thick at all so Otterbox and svelte actually goes together in this case (no pun intended).....:thumbup:

I love my Black Otterbox Case w/clip.....I always take the screen protector off and scratch off the glue it uses to hold in place. The phone is of course bigger with this case but not as big as the Note 2 case was.
Very happy with the purchase. It has probably saved my phone a couple of times due to dropping.
This case really protects it. Even without the thick screen protector.

Really? how so? I had a white commuter on my Note 2 and I thought it was a great case all around other then I was unhappy when the soft material started to bow outwards from the case and it looked kinda stupid but I now have a Note 3 and I didn't want the bulk of the commuter case like I had with my Note 2 and so i'm trying out Spigen cases instead.

I was just wanting something slicker then the bulky commuter but these spigen cases feel so flimsy and non protective compared to the otterbox's now. I think i've spent well over $100 at Amazon trying out cases this week, thank God for free amazon prime trial for included 2 day shipping.
Hey all,
just a heads up. got a sammy ruggedized case from best buy today.
two things,
firstly, it does not work properly with the samsung convertible wireless fast charger. its intermittent. laying it sideways worked better than portrait. for me, thats as good as not working. so its going back.
secondly, its helluva thick. looking for one with a much much slimmer profile..
ordered a caseolgy vault II of amazon, hope it fits the bill. theres nothing from samsung thats anything like the OEM slim case they had for the note 4.
any other suggestions for a slim tpu case that will work perfectly with wireless charging.
UAG says on their site that their cases do. I use UAG for the kids and also had one for my note II. awesome for protection, but looks funny in the boardroom in my hand next to a Rolex... if you get what i mean. design aesthetic more for bungee diving.
I know that it says it doesn't work in the amazon listing. Let me know what you think of that caseology vault. Looking for something that doesn't look like constuction equipment as well haha.

will do.
its on the website and the packaging
yes this is no secret or a major flaw. its a highly rugged case. i posted about this in the accessories forum with photos when someone asked about it. but.. appreciate your efforts though.. :good:
why dont you post or look in the accessory subforum instead of general?
Samsung's accessory website states clearly it doesn't work with all wireless chargers. I have the old "puck" style and it does work with it. I don't have the new "convertible" one to test with.
i didnt look it up on sammys website. and its not stated onthe box. so i bought it.
it is stated on a piece of paper in the box though.
my bad, should have posted in acc forum.
we should make a list of covers that 100% work in real world experience with wireless chargers a sticky. would be real helpful for those of us looking to buy one.
I want to like the case but I'm returning it for a Speck Presidio grip as it's a bit thinner.
The Samsung is too bulky and the Speck gives just as much protection IMHO.
The Best Buy branded TPU actually fits nice. Button tactile feedback is a bit weak as are the protrusions and it's overpriced by 100% (JMHO) but it's available right now...
Waiting for Diztronic to release theirs. The first revision for the S8+ was a disaster but they fixed that with a revised one.
The phone is sleek naked but one drop is going to be an expensive mistake, most likely. So there's that.
its stated on the website of samsung that it doesnt work buddy, the reason it doesnt work is because there's a steel plate inside.
Thats odd, it works with mine just fine.

tried several times, intermittent at best.
as stated by Samsung, not compatible.
Got a caseology TPU case, it works just fine.
a good thing too, the ruggedized case was too thick to be comfortable to hold.
ya it dont work on the sammy. i have two sammy convertible chargers and the same happens on both--it starts then pauses...
now i DO have the choetech charger and believe it or not the charger seems to charge the phone THROUGH the case!!!

If you lay it down flat it will charge.

Ive done that and it does not do it reliably. It's hit or miss.
No worries at all because I dont use the military case for day to day. I use the alcantara for that...
Moreover, i bought the convertible knowing the case would not work, and i also bought the convertible to be able to use the phone/have it in portrait mode since that's a feature of the charge pad...
I have both the Samsung convertible, and slanted fast chargers. It works with a little effort in both potrait and landscape modes. Similar to my s8+ in its Lifeproof Fré case, but it won't work in portrait mode

My ruggedized case works with my older Spigen tilted charger, likely due to the padding the convertible charger has

I also returned my Samsung rugged case and switched to the Speck Presidio Grip. I don't care about wireless charging, but I thought the case actually felt less protective than the Speck case. I wanted to like it because of the kickstand and because of how awesome it looked from the back, but between the thickness and the tiny front lip, the case just seemed a bit off to me.
Edit: I will say that the Samsung case felt great in my hand. It is super smooth but still grippy. If it was a bit thinner and had a slightly bigger front lip it would be my favorite case hands down.
Anyone try the Samsung Alcantara case yet?
Alcantara on deck
Yes ive had it a few days now. Its premium. Classy. Worth the price of admission.
Do you have a specific question about it?

Yes. It is nice, but it attracts pocket lint (I had the black), and I personally didn't like how it felt in the hand. It was slippery, and it made my palms sweat...I returned it.

Yep, feels shaggy to me. Reminds me of the leather iPhone case turned inside out! I'm returning it. Currently using the best buy insignia brand black TPU. Best case I have for now.
