Just thought I'd throw out a heads-up warning about the 'flip wallet' cases (like the ones on the bottom row of the attached pic). I got one of these for my Note II back when it first came out and quickly realized a major flaw with the design. When you open the cover and fold it back out of the way, it covers the camera. To take a picture with these cases, you literally have to hold the flap half open, half closed with one hand while snapping a pic with the other! If you like the flip wallet style and want one, do yourself a favor and make sure that you get the "S View Cover" instead (like those on the tope row of the attached pic).

I mean, seriously...what were they thinking when they made these things. Obviously, they've never tried to use their own product. It just doesn't make sense why you'd make something that would cover up the camera lens.
Do the cases stay closed by magnets?

No its a flap, but it does stay closed.

i went to the vzw store and looked at the flip cover... the one i saw has a window pane that will not obstruct the camera.

I checked 3 different VZW stores and none had the S View flip cover. BUT on a whim, I stopped by my local AT&T store and I was able to buy one. There's no physical difference between the VZW & AT&T Note III so you can buy the cover from either. It's $65 at the AT&T store, but I wanted one so I went ahead and bought it.
The flip cover is pretty cool, you remove the battery cover and the flip cover snaps on in it's place, you need to keep the plastic S View window clean if you want to use your camera though....
What's the s window made out of? Sturdy plastic? Flimsy plastic or hopelessly optimistic glass?

It's definitely not glass, but I wouldn't exactly call it flimsy plastic. Probably somewhere between flimsy & sturdy plastic IMO....

My coworker has the one for the S4 and it feels like....a book binding. Maybe as durable as one but thinner.
I purchased the black s-view case for my white note 3 today at a Verizon store (25% off with work discount). Nice case and the black-white contrast is damn sexy.

I picked up a black S-View cover also and I'm really trying to like it. I love the way it makes the device seem so slim when the cover is closed, and the display through the window is pretty cool, but having to always flip it open is a little tedious. That and I'm not convinced that using the camera with it folded over won't degrade the images. I guess using the camera closed negates that issue, but it's a shame to not be able to use the whole screen when taking pictures.
Hi, I bought the S-View cover. It is very nice and I like that it protects screen when closed.
Do you think it is necessary to get screen protector if you have the S-View? Or will the S-View alone be good enough?
what do you guys think?
the s-view case will cover the screen when it is closes, so that helps with protection
at the same time im like ocd with fingerprints showing and smudges
but i dont think screen protector is needed if you have sview right
I asked this question also but it was pointed out the the screen is alwwys protected while in your pocket so really there Is no need. Im just woundering lets say im coming into the house from the car and I was to drop the phone and the flipped open... does it stay shut with a magnet or something

i think it would flip open because the sview cover doesnt have a magnet

I don't see much reason to. Nothing should be in the same pocket as your phone. But it is only $30 or so why not
I never get screen protectors but use the Foursquare app and check in at T-Mobile for 30% off their branded protectors at $17, it'll come out to like $13, let the guy at the store put it on perfectly. You'll have an extra one to throw in a drawer and it can't hurt ya to have it on there, after a day you'll forget its there.

My phone was a hefty investment. For the extra $20 I got myself a tempered glass screen protector . I tend to put themn on all my phones.
Recently, after convincing him to use one too, my brother dropped his S3 at Hongkong airport and just about had a heart attack when it landed screen side down. It was just a mess with cracks running everywhere. He removed the glass screen protector and found no damage underneath.... $20 - $30 a shot is much better than the $250 to replace the screen once....
I know that the s-view case provides some protection but I've dropped my Note 3 a couple of times and its landed screen down with the flip cover opening up, thankfully it was onto carpet. The tempered glass protector is just an added insurance that my screen's going to survive. I don't wanna know how much it'll cost to fix the Note 3....

Sorry I already gave a order at Ebay. But thanks for giving amazon link. it helps me to compare between tows.
I'm kind of a huge fan of leather cases. I had one for my S4 for the whole time I had it. I really want one for the G3, but the only one I can find that has the hole for Quick Circle doesn't have a magnetic clasp, so it'll just fall open. Does anyone know of a case similar to this one, but with a magnet to keep it closed?

I would recommend waiting for some more circle cases to come out and just get a nice normal case, but if you really want the case with the magnetic clasp and you could always cut the screen protector out.(or in my case a dremel tool cause the plastic is very tough and thick) That's what I did with a circle case I did not realize had a screen protector in.

If you look at the official LG quick case you can see that it does not have a screen protector and that's because you need to be able to touch that portion of the screen to use all the quick circle features like messaging or changing music. The screen protector just gets in the way.

The case I posted doesn't have a screen protector or a magnet. I really don't even need the quick circle part. I just want a genuine leather case. I suppose you are right about waiting though. For now, I ordered the one I originally posted. It's not as bad not having a magnet as I thought it would be, but this one also uses fake leather, so that's kind of disappointing.

I got my case today, http://www.ebay.com/itm/201125768974?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
the magnet is kinda of a double edge sword. Helps protect it by keeping it closed during a fall but you do have to pry it open a little bit as their probably a little stronger then they need to be. Case has a nice texture and feel to it. The circle window has a very thick clear screen making the screen very unresponsive, I ended up just cutting it out.. Very confident that this cover would protect the phone in a fall. No cut out for the notification light . Also putting a debit card in the interior slot makes the auto/off and circle notifiication seldom work. I have a Zagg glass screen protector and I'm not sure if its it or the lg screen is just picky when it comes to working the circle app. Not a bad case though.
I just got this superb case in Amazon. I love it....it's well made with good plastic material and grip. It adds a little bulk but....i still like it...it looks like a tank. Lol. The only thing that i hate with this case is ut comes with screen protector which is built in and when u place your phone in...it shows rainbowing distortions...it's more noticeable when the screen is off and intense direct light to the screen. Any how when...you turn on the screen everything looks fine and the touch responsiveness too aren't minimize.
Im planning to rip the builtin screen protector and get a hd film or glass i hope it will still fit when installed back in the case.
I'm confused. That's totally different from this unicorn beetle case

what glass screen protector did you used? I was concerned with the thickness
@hatyrei - on the back of your phone, there is a sticker (in the second picture) attached on your power and volume keys, not to be rude but that is supposed to be removed, unless you want it, those are just intended to be temporary indicators.
@Ronde90 - What glass screen protector are you using? I popped out the one there and bought a thin one (that sadly is a fingerprint magnet) for now but wanted to see if a glass one fit. How are the smudges? What brand/model/price?

Hi guys. I ordered this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KLDJAO8?pc_redir=1404818582&robot_redir=1
It was pretty inexpensive and I didn't want to spend 40usd on one so I figured what the hell, I'll try it. It looked nice and was one of the only glass screen protectors that covered the entire screen, meaning that there were no jagged cut outs for camera or anything. Plus it is only 2mm thin and has rounded and bezeled edges. After using for a day or so I have to say it is fantastic. If feels great and you barely know its there since it is so thin and clear. It really is smudge resistant unlike many other glass screen protectors. It is also very easy to apply. It uses some kind of silicone based adhesive so it adheres better to the screen and is less prone to having bubbles be caught under it when applying it. The screen protector is also very easy to remove and reapply. I actually used it for a day, then took it off when I got the unicorn Beetle pro case. After two days of the scrappy Beetle screen protector, I ripped it off and reapplied the glass screen protector with no issues at all; I wrapped up the glass screen protector in wax paper for the mean time.
If you're on the fence, pull the trigger and I promise that you won't be disappointed, especially at the price on amazon now.

Exactly what I did and am absolutely loving it. This case works wonders (assuming you rip out the ****ty built-in protector and replace it with glass) and isn't too bulky.
man you guys are tempting me really badly. i love the look of this case!
im liking it a lot, it reminds me of the urban armor cases. im going to order one
Tada..... , after ripping out the builtin plastic screen protector... I installed the new glass screen protector by iCarez. And I'm happy to tell u guys it fits very well. Just becareful when you put the screen protector be sured the front cam isn't hindered or covered.
