I ordered me a case for our AT&T Galaxy Note off eBay and it will come today according to USPS tracking. One of my friend say that case have Otterbox quality but cheaper. So, if you love Otterbox, you can at least get heavy duty case for less than 11 buck until Otterbox Defender arrive. Not only does Heavy Duty case have black color, there also different color available. Just type heavy duty galaxy note on eBay search and you will see a list of different color case.

NOTE: If you plan on order one, make sure you read if the case compatible for AT&T Note. If it say I717, it mean at&t. If it N7000 it International.
I just ordered that same one too, I'll comment on it when it gets here!
The $40 case AT&T sold me was complete utter ****.
Does this case have a screen cover?

I always use my phone to take pic, but I don't have a secondary camera for it. I promise you, this case is quality built, close to otterbox, but it don't come with screen protection like the Defender have. Plus, it only 10 buck cheaper with free shipping.
It have 2 layer of protection. The soft and the hard materials which made the phone protect more. I think the glass on the Note is made of Gorilla Glass so I think we should be okay.
I only use the the case until Otterbox Defender arrive.
wow this has to be the most popular case!!!
the protection is unmatched
only downside it does add slight bulk but this isnt a "barely there" case, this case is made to handle drops and slides on concrete
Looks like a great case, just got one. Here is the Amazon link. They have various colors.

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!
cimotech said:
As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

Well do you have one? What do you think of it? Looks like it adds a good bit of bulk to an already fairly large device, and those big rubber corners look like they'd make getting the device in and out of pockets a royal PITA.

I won't get one, this SG does not have enough "bulk". I like the HC series, which I owned for my Evo 4G, best case ever!
In the absence of the Ballistic HC being produced, I think I will go with the next best thing which is a Trident case. I plan on getting the Trident Kraken when it's released.
BTW, this is about as slim as it gets for a multi-layer case. If this is too bulky for you, you may want to consider a single layer case.

If you are really a fire medic, then maybe you need that much protection. But don't try to blow smoke up anyone's @ss (sorry...not angry, but couldn't resist using the pun ). Honestly, that case is huge. The Seidio Active case has two layers and is much smaller than this one.
As I haven't seen either in person I can't really comment. But I guess perception is relative, they both seem very similar to me. I had a Seidio Rugged/Combo for my Evo 4G, it was ugly and fell apart, I just could never bring myself to buy another Seidio case.
I have the SC series for my Galaxy sII and it is plenty bulky.

Is it bulkier than you expected a 3 layer case to be?
I've been waiting for this as well, I was on the notify list. The question I have is though: How is this different from the White Impact Triple Combo or BoxWave Resolute? (Both of those two are the same identical case btw, just cheaper on ebay)
I'm looking on the Ballistic website and I can't surmise that there's much. Does anyone know differently? or does anyone own both of these (or is planning on owning both of these)?
Good question... Im either getting this or the casemate tough(but it's out of stock atm).

Your welcome. I just picked up a Moshi reusable screen guard after confirming it fits under the case. I believe it should work under the Seidio too when it comes Monday. I will see.
Does anyone know where to get a cases and screen protectors? all I can find is for the international and sprint version. My phone arrives on monday
Got mine from ATT yesterday and they had a case on display, it's a dual protection case for $35, adds a little thickness to the phone. I did find this one online http:// http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Simple-Cl...ack-P95089.htm
im currently rocking the belkin bumper from the att store. looks good and feels good
I got a "Body Glove" which is a gel inside a hard case. So far, I like it. It doesn't add as much girth as an otterbox. I also added a screen protector (yeah, I know that it's gorilla glass, but I've seen scratches on GG too).

Screen Protector and Case
I too was looking around for cases and screen protectors as I just got the phone today! Love it so far. Really well made and fast phone. I found an Spigen (SGP) screen protector but it's for the Sprint and International one, but since the screens are the same (to my knowledge) I sent an email asking Spigen if they are compatible and also asked then when the AT&T Optimus G cases will be released. Will update when I receive an email back.
P.S.
I tried the Belkin Bumper for this phone at the AT&T store, and truly hated it because it made the phone look super weird.
I found a good screen protector for the front and back of the phone.
Search Amazon and eBay for the screen protector: REALOOK AT&T LG Optimus G(LG-E970) Screen Protector
(I'm not allowed to post a link until 10 posts)
I ordered this today and will post here on the quality when I get them.

I can vouch for the quality of this BodyGlove case that AT&T sells.... this morning I found my phone laying underneath our kitchen table. The phone had fallen 6 feet from a shelf and our floor is made of smooth concrete. I noticed it somehow made contact with three corners of the case leaving gashes... but inside my phone was found in pristine condition when removing the case. If it works from 6 feet it will most certainly be fine dropped from your hand or out of pants pocket

Got the body glove dual protection case from AT&T for my wife's LGOG, it seems to be the best case out at the moment although I hope Seido puts out something soon since I think the case is a little too smooth/slick and it's bound to slip out of her hands at some point in time. Would like something slightly more grippy.
I got one of the cheapo snap together hard cases locally, and the tabs on it snapped when I put it on.
I would avoid these, and for now, go with either the Belkin bumper, body glove, or wait for the speck and otterbox cases to be released.
Anyone have pictures of the case they are using?
I've had good luck with GreatShield screen protectors on my previous phone (SG2). Just ordered some from Amazon, they come 3 to a pack, easy, dry install. I prefer their anti-glare (matte) version though, low drag. The glossy version showed fingerprints and had an annoying drag effect. GreatShield also makes a nice, cheap TPU case but I couldn't find one for the OG.
I have a favor to ask can some one with the AT&T Optimus G and a good scanner the higher the DPI the beater make a scan of the front and back of the phone I have a company that can produce glass screen protectors all they need is a good scan of the phone the higher the DPI the beater. just PM me if you can help. Thanks.
I ordered this case for my e970 as it clearly states that it is for the at&t model. It came in today and of course is for the LS970 instead. It won't fit but it is a cool case. I would actually recommend this of you have the LS970 model.
I also ordered 3 screen protectors from EZ Gaurdz and I can 100% honestly say they are the worst I have ever seen. I've had a couple bad ones before, but these are awful. The cut is horrid and the material is decent at best. They do not come with top and bottom peel off layers like most do.
I've requested a refund on both of the items.
******UPDATE*******
I've received a refund from both sellers for the items. If anyone wants the case they can have it. Just pay shipping. PM me if you're interested. I will weigh it in the morning and update this post with shipping info. It shouldn't be more than a couple bucks for US. I like the case and I'm sad it didn't work out, but at least someone here can use it.

I tried that same case, same results. The seller was prompt with the refund and told me to keep the case. Guess it's going back up on Ebay. Finally rec'd the GreatShield screen protectors, but they were too long and the cutouts were wrong. The package was labeled LG Optimus G but the fit wasn't even close. Still waiting for that refund (3rd party on Amazon).

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...

Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Thanks for the info. I will likely give the Ledger a shot when it releases
I got two SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case Protective Slim Fit Dual Protection Cover for Galaxy Note III below for $2 lol I thought it wa a accident as they were priced so low. Then they went up to 24.99! I should of bought 10 lol

Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

Seidio should have the Surface and holser friday . Have a couple hybrid Spigens now but I need my surface case and holster. I just don't want to pay the initial price. They will be half price in 6 months.

I have the bounce and it compliments the phone very well. And it looks classy to me. Gives me a good grip too. I am actually preferring it over my sview for now.
Used the VZW shell/kickstand/holster case for my previous two phones (G2 / Note 3) and loved it.
Was waiting...hoping VZW would put one out for the N6 once they started to carry it, and it looks like they have:

Anybody seen one or tried it to verify it actually fits? I for sure want one if it fits.
It fits.
Haven't ordered my Nexus 6 yet, but I'm looking at this one on Amazon for when I do. Looks similar and cheap enough to buy one and try it out.

It will work just fine. But why would you spend $30 on such a cheap case? If you're going to get a cheap case with a kickstand, get it from Amazon. This one looks really solid and comes only in black with a lifetime warranty and is only $8! This other one also comes with a lifetime warranty but comes in 4 different colors and it's $12! If it says that it's for the Nexus 6, it'll work on any Nexus 6, no matter where you buy it. :good:

I think you quoted the wrong person. I'm saying I'm going to try the $8 one first, and I saw the $12 one that you linked as well, and I'd try that one second. All before shelling out $30 from Verizon.

I can tell you from past experience that those cases look just like the shell combo Verizon offers but the quality isn't the same. I had both the Verizon brand and ones from Amazon on my m8 and note 3 the Verizon shell is always better. The ones from Amazon never provide a decent lip(lay on table clearance for screen), and the holster for the Amazon ones always break super easy unlike the one from Verizon. I hate overpaying for cases at carrier stores but in this case (pun intended lol) it is a difference, I've noticed on two of my past phones.
Thanks for the comments and the links!
I get a very good discount on accessories and stuff at Verizon through a "deal" with my employer so it's just a couple dollars more expensive than the Amazon cases.
I have this case and it offers absolutely no protection. I shattered my screen the 1st time it fell (2days) I just ordered a trident aegis for the new one when it gets here.

Sorry to hear - I had the similar Verizon case for both my Droid Incredible and Galaxy S III, but went with more protection for the latter, then decided to go with a dual-layer case/holster combo for the Nexus 6 due to its bulk.
IMHO, less is not more when it comes to Nexus 6 protection.

Actually I was hoping that since Verizon now has the Nexus, Otterbox would build a Defender for us..hell Verizon f#cked up the Xperia Z3 into the Z3v and Otterbox built a Defender for it(even though its plain with no design whatsoever). Now that Verizon has the 6 you'd think they would have enough of a demand for the Defender...I have the Unicorn Beetle case and I miss the full silicone skin that the OB has...oh well, rant over.

if you like the otterbox, check out ballistic tough maxx. use the code Terry30 for free shipping and 30%/$15 discount. ordered the tough jacket maxx a little while ago was $49.99 cost $34.99 shipped with the code. the case is great, had it fall out of my jeep with 6 inches of lift onto the pavement and survived without a single scratch. far better than the otterbox i had on my last phone
Ordered this CellJoy case in "red": http://www.amazon.com/CellJoy-X-Hatch-Motorola-Holster-Kickstand-/dp/B00SXF5O3W/
But when it arrived it was not even close to the vibrant red color as in the photo on Amazon. It was a dark maroon color, same as Texas A&M colors. Not bad if you are an Aggie fan, but not good if you are LSU.
My main issue is with the kickstand. The Kickstand is offset too far to the side for the large N6 so that it is very unstable when propped up in landscape. The kickstand on the CellJoy was also cumbersome to deploy and not as smooth as when I had the Verizon variant on my previous phone.
My Verizon version case/holster is tough to remove from the holster. Any tips to getting it out easier? Does it loosen a bit over time?
