Here are some pictures of a clear hard case I just received today from ebay. I paid 3.45 for it with free shipping. Totally a great deal. I like the feel of this case way better than the tpu argyle one i have. it feels lighter in my head. It might be just me. It also shows off the phone a lot more, being that it's see through lol. Here are six pictures of the case.

I saw another post about this a few weeks back, I love these cases. I have 4 clear and smoked colour.
My only qualm is that each time you remove it the case bends and breaks a small amount
I'm sorry for posting again. I couldn't find one.

too bad is does not have a kickstand.
It snaps on doesn't it? If so, its probably gonna break the first or second time you drop it. :/

After reading this thread I purchased it as well.
It's clear, thin and looks amazing on the phone. The build quality isn't all that good though, pretty much if I drop it, most likely going to break. But when it breaks will still protect my phone. I have another case for backup anyways.
Clear cases look nice until they start getting dust inside. Atleast that's been by experience in the past.

There are several threads on this topic already WITH PICS! you would be wise to spend a few of your precious minutes looking for the information which you seek rather than asking others to waste theirs.
Lol first time I had a busy day and tried asking nicely.
...and harrasment was immediate
Sorry. Now ill know never to bother.

I read the OP's thread and he never asked anyone to waste their time. If someone replies it is because they want to.
BTW, XDA should also have a rule that says you can't post a reminder to use the "Search" function.
I can find* a single thread about clear tpu cases. Im really interested in a clear case so please let me know if you find anything.

I personally find it annoying when forums become muddied with the same information over an over that's all. I was not trying to be rude and if my post came off that way well then grow a little thicker skin.
And to state that you can't post a reminder to use the search function is pure stupidity, if this was never done the noobs would ruin this site.

How am I spamming? Idk how many posts i have but its a couple hundred I'm sure, and I've been around here for awhile. Also, I had sensation and bought the amaze and am trying to sell it . I don't really see what's wrong with that, but hey that's fine cause the last thing in the world is me caring what you think.

So I used the search button on xda amaze accessories and found this thread as the only one for the words "clear" and "transparent", please allow this thread to continue without dictating what people should and should not do on a public forum. I second the notion on refraining from hand slapping for not using the search button. Close your eyes if this thread bothers you so much. I have been looking for a similar case. I'm a bit picky and I don't think I'm going to come up with what I want as I'm looking for something:
- Transparent: I want to let the OEM's design show through
- Soft
- Not Too Gummy, Shiny or Bulky (I guess with transparent, I'll have to forgo the "shine" factor)
- Cut outs for the antenna holes
So yeah, I think it's pretty tough to find something quite like this but here's what I have come up with so far and I'm still looking:
Clear Soft Rubber Phone Cover Silicone Skin Gel Case
- $5 to $7 depending on shipping
- Not quite transparent
- Looks like it will have a good grip
- Cut outs for the antenna holes
Clear Silicone Skin Gel Cover Case
- $10 shipped
- I don't know if the image is deceiving but it could be truly transparent (???)
- 2 of 3 cut outs for the antenna holes it appears
Clear Soft Hybrid Gel TPU S-LINE Case Cover
- $3 Shipped (no expedited and it will deliver after Christmas)
- S curve looks OK but 1/2 of it is exactly what I want and the other is faded white like everything else
- TPU brand so it should be good with just about all other considerations
Then there's always ZAGG and I think IPG may be ok (?) full body screen protectors
ZAGG Full Body
Ah, I think this one may be perfect. No idea who this is or what but the price at $7 + $5.99 for 4-10 shipping isn't bad. There might be a helpful coupon
also. It will probably be a bit glossy but I bet the shine will wear off a bit in time anyway. May get a few different ones and do some reviews. That is, if it's OK with some others who think this is "wasting my time" or whatever. Sorry, just think this thread went south fast and it was a decent question. I chose the Amaze White as I liked it's base look. I'll get other cases later and maybe even custom paint my own. I don't know. But if I just want to show off it's original beauty, I don't want to leave it exposed and ready for the elements to break it. I've seen one shattered from a 4 foot drop on concrete. They will break like anything else if hit right.
*** EDIT: This one is hard plastic... sorry ***

Sorry for the long post and again, if anyone has any other suggestions, I would like to know. There are Smoke Clear and Textured Clear skins around but I think we are just looking for a good clear one.
This is the one I purchased, the only issue I have with it is that there is a cutout for the cover release button. It's matte so it's not such a fingerprint magnet, and somewhat transparent so you can still see what phone lurks beneath. Also it adds very little bulk, which to me is important as I want some protection from drops as well as general scratch protection.

5 posts later and you throw in something helpful and you actually shared an interest with the op and purchased something similar. You could have saved yourself headaches and made this thread a lot shorter if this was post #2.
OK sorry, that aside, thank you for the reminder of an item I was closely looking at as well. It seems to take care of the "gloss" factor. There is a comment on that site that says that the white will look more like grey with this and they didn't care for the blend but whatever. It's a TPU. I think I'm going to roll the dice on my last link above however, only I found that the shipping is like $5.99 for 4-10 day delivery so that's kinda a bummer. Think it's flat so I'll see if there's anything else I want from that site.
If you don't mind zPack, and if I haven't offended you too much, could you post pics (for others to review) when you get it and I'll do the same with whatever I decide on. lol

I got this case as well. my only issue is that the volume rocker does not have a cutout, so the buttons needed to be pressed really hard. i just cut along the outline for the volume buttons in the case, now is better.

FYI, I'm pretty thick skinned so no offense taken, would not have posted otherwise.
However while I may have come off a little short, it was not my intention to offend anyone and I stand by the context of my original reply.
I found my case through one of the already open discussions about cases before I responded to the OP.
The rules outlined in the youtube video should be followed by all, not just some. This will keep the sub forums much cleaner and useful for all.
Pics Added.
Nice picks. Thanks! I think its as close to a decent soft case thats "somewhat" transparent that we are going to have that is obtainable at the moment. I was thinking of the d3o bumper band as it pretty much secures the phone from most impacts and in tandem with like some zagg invisishields or whatever, should be a decent full body transparent solution but Im curious as to how "fat" its going to make the edge? O well can't get eveything perfect. The phone should be built completely waterproof and impactproof without any design, tech, or price degredation. Lol, I also want the camera to have xray clothing capabilities and produce enough solar power to not only charge the 30K mah built in battery but have enough power output to operate the phone and charge other devices on average ambient lighting. Can it also link to my cerebral cortex and teach me Kung Fu? Lol

I currently use this case for my wife and I. It's ok, I recommend a different case. We order new ones from Amazon. Problem is it replaces battery cover which makes it very easy to come off of case. I constantly have it coming off the battery area. I ordered two different cases that essentially work the same I'm that instead of replacing the battery cover it wraps around the phone like a standard case. Than the flip portion has billfold style card holders and pockets. There are some there different brands like this. All are I'm the $40-50 range, but worth it as it actually protects screen when closed unlike all snap on's

Hey guys I came across these bad ass cases but now im having a hard decision on which one to buy. My concern is the flip ones because they ripp off easly as i have experienced this. So now im just nervous anyways please let me know what one appeals to you and why? Thanks. These are on the expensive side but if you think about it how many cheap cases you buy and only last you a short period of time it adds up. So for the price i need one that will take a while to kill itself XD

Can't say for sure if I'd get any. Flip design are cool in looks, but fall short in practice. The flip front makes taking pictures a pain in the rear. The first case pictured just looks cheap and bulky. The third is appears to be a snap on. I like what appears to be a finger loop on the back to help prevent dropping it on your face when reading while laying down, but I’m just not a big fan of the snap ons as I have had them wear out. Had these come along a month or two ago, I would have a different opinion, but there are far too many other cases out or being released to consider cases with such drawl backs. These are, after all, merely my opinions and it boils down to what I look at may be irrelevant to you.

I have the yellow and blue Masstige. I like it but I'm getting rid of it because the yellow has discolored already, the material over the snap has started to open, and it takes away from the slim form factor of the phone. I like the all in one idea, but I prefer to feel how slim and light the phone is.

I just got the Zenus capsule with the Spigen glas.t Fits like a glove. I almost got the portfolio styled case, but I decided against it because it limits answering calls, taking pics, blocks spkr, etc. I was using the the speck candy shell as an interim solution and I have to say IT SUCKS! I'm quite happy with the capsule/glas.t combination. Just my two cents.

Hey guys, I'm currently using the Diztronic case and I'm still nervous about how much protection this case can offer for being so thin so I have my eyes out on a newer heavy duty case. I have seen a few on Amazon and ebay.
This case looks cool but it looks like the Ventec case and I ordered that one but didn't like how hard the TPU was because it was difficult to press the power button. Does anyone have this type of case if so how do you like it.?

I picked up this one from Ebay and have been pretty happy with it. All of the slots and button pieces line up perfectly. I have dropped it a couple times without any concern thanks to the two-part case design making it fairly shock resistant and solid. Also, they have multiple colours.

I got another case and a bit bored, so might as well post pictures of this if anyone out there was curious about clear cases on this phone. It's been a very long time since I had a clear case, but I thought it would look well with the white Note 3. I actually like it. For now until it gets dirty. I like it better than the Spigen Bounce case. Both do feel different in the hand because the Bounce case has a fully matte texture. Both are slim.
Pros
- Border/Bumper is TPU
- Back side is hard poly carbonate/plastic
- Holes/ports match up
- Buttons are easy to press
- Looks good on white (I don't have a black one to check out)
Cons
- Back side can get scratched
- If it gets dirty inside the case, it'll show.
- If your phone is dirty, it'll show.
I got it on Amazon, just copy the title of this topic and search it there.
EDIT:
I'll just post a link, might as well.

Thanks. I agree about the scratches. I already see some because I was spinning the case when trying to take pictures, but if you have a white phone, it's hard to spot unless you're under direct light or there's a lot of scratches in one area. It's probably easier to see with the black version.
Just got mine yesterday also. I agree with the OP review and will say the case is better than I expected for $10. Samsung makes a case very simaler to this one for Note 2, S4, etc. It's a little bit better, waiting for the Note 3 version to eventually come out...
I almost got that one cuz I want to be able to see the phone but opted for a gel one, should be here in a day or two and we can compare em.

I got this last Thursday and I am glad I did when I went to best buy Friday to get the note 3 they had zero cases. It's a nice case and shows off the back very nicely.
damn pretty much exactly what im looking for but shows unavailable
i ordered mine earlier in the week. out for delivery today hope its nice!!
Well, this case is back in stock, but the prices has been raised unfortunately. I don't think any TPU type of case is worth over $10 unless there are designs on it, but that's just my opinion.
This case isnt that great returned it after, a day the back was scratched . Nice idea poor design or material

Get the one I got for 3 dollars shipped and delivered in 3 days, been using it for a couple of days now and haven't even thought of putting my Caseology back on. I totally forget there is a case on it and can appreciate the looks of the phone plus this is tpu and won't scratch and it is not flimsy in the least. The sell counter on Ebay says its sold close to 500 cases, good to see so many Note 3 owners taking advantage of a good deal.
I just realized it comes in four colors too.

Any clear case will be scratched (I'm not talking about matte frosted cases). There's none that's scratch resistant.

Yup, I figure better the case than the phone! Plus these things are so cheap, if it starts looking really bad after a few months, just throw it away and get something else.
I got the one with the black around it. I like it.

I got one and like it. Nice fit, holes line up for all ports, low profile. I did look closely and notice some very light scratches on the clear back. Guess I'll try something else when the scratches become too visible.
Update: my Luvvitt case looked so scratched up that I ditched it and got a Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case. I've been *really* happy with the Diztronic - great design, lightweight, holds up great, no scratches or marks, and has protected my phone on the few occasions when I dropped it.
I love clear tpu type cases but I find most of them turn yellow after a while so I have to keep buying them.

I got one of these. I also own a bunch of other cases. I thought this case was noticeably heavier than others.
