The best case for any phone in my opinion is almost here

Wow his case looks almost identical to the hybrid case on ebay

Doesn't the hybrid case have a loose rubber exterior

Does this case have a silicone interior? The hybrid case I have now (and many others) have a hard interior that might end up scratching our Notes. I know that Trident Aegis (at least for my Nook) has a silicone interior and hard exterior going around it, which would be something nice to look into.
Would be nice if there was a holster.

Its a soft rubber layer then a hard plastic exterior. Look at the corner protection!!

Looks awkward to hold it. But looks very protective.
-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
Comes with shoulder pads.

Needs a holster.
To each his\her own but that case is fugly in my opinion. I much prefer the Seidio Active, http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-active-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hk3ssgnt-bk.htm. It is very protective without the bulk.

I agree. I never understood why you would make a case like that with out a holster. The lack of a holster is the deal breaker for me not getting it.

I've heard mixed reviews regarding the quality of those cases. But for the price, I'm tempted to try one.
By the way, Ballistic cases are the best built in my opinion with Trident coming in a close second. And no Otterbox doesn't make my list unless it's for iPhone cases which they use their original factory for. Otter cases for Android phones are hit or miss.

I like when they sell the holster separately. I don't need it and don't want a higher price because it's included.

To each his own, but I had a Seidio Active and it fell apart...and the Seidio Active is fugly.
This case has to be one of the best case for our galaxy note. It fits tight and snug and it double protected with two case. I have tried over four cases and none can compare. With the two cases its still slim, enough and comfortable to hold..... I totally recommend this product. Best of all it comes with a kickstand on the back.

Over 4 cases but no more than five cases and under six cases.
How is the view from the front camera?
The image in the OP & the ebay links appear to show the lip of the case encrouching on the camera & proximity sensor, and almost covering the earpiece.
Yep this is it!!!

It's fine it doesn't affect the camera or the sensor at all. I had another case that was similar to this one but it made the sensor act up a few times. But haven't had any issues with this case!
How solid is the case?
Looks similiar to the Seidio case

The case is very solid I dropped it a few times already and handled the drop well. I also think the texture of the plastic feels:good: good.... I'm really pleased with the case for $10 I feel it was a good buy!

Yea from looks it does look close to it! I did notice that this case the ports are covered and theirs a lot more grip on the rear of it! the Seidio stand looks nicer though and it looks like you can position device standing up or laying down!!!
Going to buy it today. Thanks OP. I think I'll love it.

Picking one of these up this weekend looks awesome. Thanks for the info.
Zenus makes great case for the note with a stand... ... i have the black and blue one. :good:
Great case. I got the white one off ebay for under 10 bux with the belt clip holster. Great size on the kick stand use it a lot even when i hold my phone in landscape mode. Good grip. Only thing i just wish the rubber/silicone was like tpu or something stronger.
Just got the case posted in OP, loving it so far. Highly recommended, and for under $15 shipped, you can't go wrong.
How's the bulk with this case? Is it hard to slide out of your pocket with the silicon?

Has anyone tried, or know about the Tridea View Flip Case?
I want to know if it has the integrated S-View functionality like the OEM and others out there. There aren't any reviews for this case anywhere and the window looks quite a bit smaller than the OEM S-View case which makes me think that it won't behave like the S-View case.
Link to the product:
http://www.amazon.com/Tridea-Samsung-Italian-Standing-Display/dp/B00FBK1MKG
Thanks!!
If they had a black one I'd buy it (not sure why they made a black color for the non-s-view). Also it has a smaller s-view window so i'm skeptical if it'll function like the OEM features.
I bought the black one from eBay. Overall, its a decent case but does add bulk. The S-View function doesn't work, I think it's supposed to have a magnet but there isn't one.
I only use it when I'm out with my kids so they can use it in stand mode.

Forgot to mention that the plastic screen will get scratched up, mine had a hairline one right out of the box.
The card slot is so tight that I don't want to risk even putting one card in there for fear that it would rip.

Thank you for the review!! I've decided to get the Spigen one instead now that's its been released.
Especially on the sides and I'm in a hot country (thailand) and my hands sweat.also it would be nice to have a nice texture on the back as well.ive tried a couple of local ones but they are made of Shiny tpu.the slimmer the better

Try the Nillkin cases. I'm like you, I can't stand the soft tpu cases. I like the hard snap on cases like the Nillkin cases.

OP did say slim case, UAG is definitely not slim!
In the past I found Cimo to have the grippiest edges. The Speck Candyshell grip (just released) is the grippiest I have and isn't nearly as bulky or bulky feeling as the UAG in comparison.
Bear Motion slim (sand)
It's as minimal as it gets. It also has a sand like texture that's easy to grip.

Yeah those Nillkin ones with the texturing are great if you want slim and grippy.
I have one but haven't really used it since I went UAG. Does bulk up the phone a little but I feel naked with anything less.

Side grips
This case is very slim and has very deep diamond grips molded into the sides.

If you check out cases from Spigen, skip over the Neo-Hybrid line. Its edges are not grippy.

OK I placed an order for it. $34 shipped.
I somehow doubt I'm getting a normally $70.00 case for nearly half off.
But if its a counterfeit of decent quality, I can't complain at the price I paid.
Really it doesn't matter..... But this just seems too good to be true....

If it's too good to be true, than it most likely is!
Lots of fake (otterbox cases) on Amazon!
Don't accept them! File a complaint, report it to Otterbox. This insanity must stop.
Just because it's half the price of a real one does not mean it's half the quality. More like half-ass quality that will fall apart long before you switch to another device! Simply unacceptable.
All counterfeit Otterbox cases I have seen start falling apart after a couple months... If they even last that long.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
where do you get 70 dollars for a otterbox? i bought my defender brand new 3 weeks ago with clip from bestbuy mobile was only 50.
I've purchased a defender case off EBay and the same case from Best Buy for 2 GS3's. The case from BB started stretching out so I had to request a replacement. The case I ordered off EBay for $30 is still going strong a year later
I'll ultimately have to see what happens when it arrives to see if its fake.

I ordered one sunday.....i believe its real. While that seller is the cheapest theres a few sellers selling for under $35. Theres even one for $33 sold by amazon. The fact is the camo cases arent selling that good for the note 3. Probally because A: the case is really big maybe a little to camo for some and B: the note 3 is a real classy looking phone and alot of buisness people have it. They all probally want just your typical all black defender
