Just ordered 2 of these bad boys for my gnex and note, can anyone share pros/cons?
_______
5.7.12
So they finally arrived and I couldn't be any happier!
My first impression with both cases and holsters is that they're perfect, they're totally what I wanted. Rugged, easy, and cool.
Some pics of the gnex first and the note will follow. Took some outside shots from my balcony on the 3rd floor.

Ever use the Platinum Cases from Best Buy?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Nope, I've scoured a few Best Buys here in Vancouver and they don't have much for the note. Only saw a gel type case which won't do it for me so I decided to look online

Reason I asked is from what I understand, Seidio makes the Platinum Cases for Best Buy. That'll give you a good look at what the Sedio will be like.

I had a Seidio Active case on my Skyrocket. Personally, I think it's the absolute best compromise there is for size vs. protection. For the Skyrocket, I used it as my everyday case. I just ordered one for my Note.
My only complaint is that the rubber is a little too grippy, which makes it a slightly harder to get in and out of pockets than a tpu case. And it will collect lint. The one for my Skyrocket got better the more I used it though.
Nice, glad to hear ur getting good use out of it. I rocked the otterbox commuter on my gnex for a long while and the rubber part definitely collects lint. Microfiber cloth once in awhile cleans it up pretty well. I'm definitely interested in seeing how the rubber from the active compares to the commuter

The Seidio Active will be half the size of the Otterbox products.
Just received mine and I love it!! Kickstand is nice and sturdy and easily goes in and out of my pocket..
Now I just gotta get the holster and im set!!
Cool, I'm looking forward to using the kickstand too. I'm not a fan of docks and the kickstand will be nice for laying it sideways upright on the desk for sure

I received mine and I like it. I just wish the entire kickstand was metal instead of plastic.
How does it hold up so far webdave? Does it feel flimsy or like it won't last long?

I actually decided to return the case for a few reasons.
1. The kickstand feels cheap. It is a very light plastic with a small magnet embedded on one side of it. I like how the magnet makes it snap into place but it feels like it could easily snap off when open.
2. I don't like the ridges on the soft silicone. It makes it too difficult for me to remove from a pocket.

Why would you say that? Works perfectly. I personally guarantee it I just got to test the case on my Evo last night and I honestly believe this is our best case to date. I just hope they release a white phone so we can make a clear case!

I heard someone on the Cases thread mentioned that the Seidio Surface holster works well with it and although I haven't purchased it yet, I'm definitely leaning towards doing so.

Yes the surface case works very well with pretty much all TPU cases. That is the setup i have been using on my last couple of phones.
Received mine from Amazon earlier today. Just got around to installing it. As always, Diztronic comes through again! I wouldn't use any other case! Fit and finish is superb, the camera protrusion is protected from getting scuffed up on the desk, and the kickstand is still very easily to get to.
I have used your cases on my Epic Touch 4G, my Moto RAZR Maxx work phone, and now of course on my EVO LTE! Great job guys and THANK YOU for another excellent product!
* No I am not getting paid to say this nor did I receive my case for free! These cases are just the S**TZ!!!

i use the siedio active
I still love my Bodyglove case. It's a hard two-piece case the perfectly slips over the phone. The red looks really nice. I've had it for a short while, still like it. Dropped the phone a few times no damage. Although once on a hardwood floor the bottom of the case popped off (kind of like when you drop a phone by itself the battery cover pops off).
Here's the original thread about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473047
I dropped mine on concrete from 5 feet in the high gloss silicone case from vzw on day 2. It's still flawless.....
I use the standard kickstand case on htcpedia. Has a beltclip. Case is slim and tight. Doesn't cover the very top or bottom.

I'd like one too. I usually use the silicon one from VZ if I have one on but I can't stand how cheap it is. And I wouldn't mind one that's thinner too. Really just to protect against scratches and keep the camera lense off of the surface or a table lol. This phone feels great without a case, not so great with one. Does anyone know the thickness of the silicon ones? I see that the seidio cases are 2.0 - 2.2 mm thick

Incipio has two sweet cases for under 30 bucks. One is a little bit bulkier than the other but both are much smaller than the otterbox case. They both come with screen protectors as well, just know that they are about 1/8 inch short all the way around. Check out there website.. Incipio.Com
These are smaller than Seidio as well but offer great protection.

It's very good quality. It's a two-piece design that slide and lock together so it will not fall off when dropped. Also, there is felt on the inside of the case so your phone doesn't get scratched.
I'll try to find my pics

The two piece case actually makes it easier to hit the power button and volume buttons. The feather case makes it more difficult. I really haven't been using my feather because of this fact.

How about something like the otter or seido active? Only you could paint the outer shell part. I'm thinking I'm going to paint mine again, this time white. I painted it the first time when I had some expensive paint mixed up and it was better then wasting it. It came out really well, plus matches one of my firearms. I think the black and white will look better together, but the coyote tan looks nice too.

I have a safe full of em but that one is my baby. Nothing fancy and probably the cheapest of the lot, but was my first.
The case is pretty damn good. The holster broke but was replaced with proof or receipt. (Thats why I always use Google checkout). The case itself has absorbed many drops. Had the otter box been out I probably would have gone that route for better protection, but the seido gives good protection for a somewhat slim package.

I don't have a case for my phone, otherwise I'd post it.
I'm contemplating about getting a slim case though. But I have a car mount, and then a desktop dock. I know that if I got a case, these would be rendered useless.
This is true my bezel around the screen has began to break off. So I have no choice other than put a case on it. I have already broke one and would like to make this one last

No cases at my store, I'll check other stores tomorrow but thats the style I like except I want a kickstand on it, I'll take whatever they have for protection and exchange it when more come in I guess. I loved the Body Glove Fusion with Durastand i had on my G2
I have the same case on mine. i also had it on the note 2 but it had a glossy shine to it.i dropped my phone several times and nothing happened to my phone. i really like these cases but i wish they were clear like the one on my wifes s4 not this grey color.tech 21 i found to be really durable.

My brother has this Tech21 case on his Note2, and the buttons are a ***** to press. A little overpriced too, for what it is (simply TPU), imo.
Does it make the phone a lot wider in comparison to a naked device. With the Tech21 on my S4, the phone gains about a cm in width and height.

I have one in blue. I like the body glove case I saw but I am not convinced that the screen will survive a corner drop in it. I'm hoping Ballistic, Otterbox, or someone that focuses on corner protection releases something soon.

That's exactly why I'm returning mine. The case itself and protection is fine. It makes it too tall and wide. I like the thin-ness just as with the S4 but it's that girth that's really annoying.
I also didn't like how the bottom cutouts felt while holding

I just went to best buy to see if they had any cases to which they did not but a sales associate told me that he saw someone that had the Platinum case holster combo that they had gotten from the best buy mobile store in the mall so that's where I went. Upon arriving I asked their associate if they had any cases for the note 3 and he said no that they probably wouldn't have any in for a week or two. I told him that the associate at the big store said that I should come there because he knew someone that had gotten one from there. So he says no but I'll check. About a minute later he come from the back with a case and tells me it's the only one he had so I was in luck. So I took my other case back and am rocking this until the Ballistic hardcore is released or I may just keep this. I like a lot of protection but I hate how it bulks up the phone. I also hate putting things in my pockets so I'm a holster guy.

The case consists of hard plastic coupled with a gray dense rubber that provides a small bit of shock and drop protection. The favorite thing about having a bumper like this is that it covers the metallic ridges on the side of the Note, which I found personally to be ugly. With this bumper on, the phone has a uniform black look that I find much more appealing.
The volume buttons on this case feels snappy and clicky. The power button, on the other hand, is mushier and you’ll need to hit it in the middle for it to register. Another thing to note is that the case makes it slightly more difficult to take out the S Pen. These are only minor complaints, though, and the good outweighs the bad in this case.
As you can see here, there is a pronounced lip on both the front and the back of the case. This lay-on-table ensures both your front screen and the rear camera lens aren’t touching the table’s surface.
The Note 3 is a sliver-thin phone, and the Borderline adds little thickness or heft at all, only a few millimeters on either sides. From the pictures, you can see the Note’s slim profile persists in the Borderline. Unless I’m seeking more protection from my case, I can see leaving my Note in this minimalistic case.
Anyone who is looking for a simple, unobtrusive bumper case for the Note 3, be sure to check out the Borderline.

I really want to know if this bumper will work with the Samsung wireless charging back.
If anyone sees this mentioned anywhere, please repost it.
EDIT: I sent an email to Poetic to ask this. I'll post the answer, but I will be amazed if they know.

It is snug fit based from the picture. Very Simple bumper case. I bet it will not work with tempered glass screen protector. I will post the answer once I got this case in 2 days.
Just ordered one for the hell of it. It's only $10 do we shall see!

Does this case work well with the official Samsung Qi charging battery door? My understanding is the door is a bit thicker than stock and has prevented people for using normal cases.
What does it feel like? Looks like hard plastic. I'm looking for a grippy texture. I wouldn't mind having something grippy on the sides and a textured back
I use one of these on my nexus 4. Its saved it a few times.
Nice pics and review picked one up as others for 5 bucks , can't beat that ...........this will make case 6 ............ to the collection................
Just ordered one as well, good find.
