Just bought the barely There regular one. Love it. Have the Otterbox Commuter as well. Does it kill GPS and cell signal like others posted?
I haven't noticed any difference in signal loss.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
I have the same case but in silver. I did notice my GPS position was off with the case on.
I have this case in gray. After one drop and general wear and tear it started to crack. Plus the brushed aluminum back began to peel off. If you're going for looks though it's a great case.

Is there an inner coating so it doesnt scratch the phone when you put it inside?

No there isn't. It's a glossy plastic finish on the inside.

Where can I find a battery cover plate for the white galaxy note? Not a case just the plate that covers the battery.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)
I'm using the elago cover from Amazon...$10 but it doesn't offer much protection besides keeping crud off of the 8MP camera on the back. The white one is a little slippery since it's not coated, just FYI. Hasn't caused a drop yet though.

Are you looking for an OEM cover to replace a white cover you had ?
Yes looking for either. Hopefully one with NFC if not can you provide links to the ones you know about. That would be great. Yes looking to replace my white one.

Also, the OE flip cover with the flap is a much better rear cover due to its thickness, texture and logo layout. What I did was just ter off the "leather" flip portion and am using just the battery cover.

Yes tried that would love to find a back cover like that without the leather. I cut it out too but back cover is to thick and doesn't work well with tpu cases. Love the look and texture of the flip cover case. Would be nice if they made Battery cover exactly like that.

I have one...
I did not remove the screen protector. Instead I removed my ZAGG IS. I like the built in one. However removing the plastic one is not hard at all. Its just glued in place.
Wasn't worried about the ease of removing so much as the feel...its kinda springy if u know what I mean ...its starting to annoy me some lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I bought mine on Saturday but I am taking it back because of the built-in screen protector.
Not only does it not sit flush with the glass (which is why it's "springy") but it distorts the quality of the screen horribly.
Getting my money back and sticking with my Diztronic TPU
Wow I removed it because it was too springy and it feels way better with my ghost armor screen protector!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
I don't think Otterbox took into account the weirdly concaved screen. I agree with the feel of it, spongy. But i also don't like how the sides are squared off, as opposed to more rounded on the previous versions I've used on other devices. The accessory plugs are hard to open and close. If you take the silicon cover off, you notice there's no grab rail for the silicon in the corners. Its hard to lock into the holster. Feels unnatural when taking it out if the holster and I've used a defender for over a year previous.
I'm OK with all the feeling because I was using a commuter it seems much like the commuter to me...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
On every device I have ever had a defender series I just cut away the plastic shield it sucks one I do that I toss on my own screen protector and enjoy!

I just got my defender today.I like it feels fine had the commuter before this one the commuter does feel more rigid but I like not having to worry on screen. The holster does look odd will have time to test that tomorrow
Keep in mind that there are two different varieties of the defender floating around for the s3 it seems.

Did you purchase directly from Otterbox? I purchased at local att store. After4 days, no better. Thinking of calling Otterbox and complaining.
Deleted.
I bought from AT&T but now outs returnd the screen was grainy may be that's what was meant by springy... I bought back a commuter but don't want to deal with adhesive protector yet want to have a protected screen

I like the styling of the case more than the "envelope" design on the back of the Otterbox cases. But I don't like the fact that these are only renders of the cases. Show us some actual pictures.
I just got the case, and I actually like it, I normally don't like cases but it seems to feel good on the phone. I posted a few pics of it. The one downfall is that it covers the back notification LED.

the side rubber indents make it grip when holding it, also the middle is recessed but it helps with gripping it, I tend to drop my phone often but havent yet with this one. (had it since day one 11/21) it feels really good, very solid.

I just obtained an Otterbox Commuter case and stopped using my Defender because the Commuter will fir in my iBolt car charger. My question is has anyone ever applied some type of grip spray to the hard plastic outter shell to give it a little grip? This thing is mad slippery compared to the defender and am worried ill drop my phone now. Thanks!

It's ok if it drops, it has a case
But seriously, I have the exact same case and it gets knocked off the table, couch, bed a couple times a week. I have a 4 year old who likes to play games on it and isn't always the most careful with it. The case does a good job of protecting it from 2-3 feet drops. I think the plastic spray would make it look like crap and not worth it. Just my opinion but good luck.

That and I had the defender case before but hated it because of the rubber outside. It made it a pain to put into and remove from my pocket. That's something else to think about. You don't want the coating catching/collecting things as well like your pocket, lint, dust, etc.

That is true but if the coating starts to scratch off or whatnot I will apply another coat. I'm going to buy the stuff and spray it on something else first and let it sit first to see if I'm going to like the feel. The silicone sleeve that comes with the Commuter is a HUGE dust/particle magnet as it is. I have to wipe it off on something a couple times a day, the rubber outer on the defender was no where near as bad as the silicone on the commuter.

Well to anyone who cares I applied 2 coats of black Plasti Dip to the hard plastic outer shell and its much better now! I can hold the phone with one hand and move it back and forth and it's not going anywhere! I don't think it will last too long but the bottle said its easy to remove and ill just spray a few more coats on it if I still like it I guess.

A bumper is probably the only case that will work with it if its thicker than the stock cover. In another thread someone said they use the poetic borderline bumper(or maybe it was the bear motion bumper) with the Samsung wireless charging cover.
