I just ordered this for our 2 brand new Notes.
It was cheap enough to take a chance. A few reviews exist for other Galaxy phones, with negative effects on NFC (not a prob for the Note) but otherwise not bad. I liked the brushed metal look, though I suspect the "metal" is not truly metal , probably a metallic sticker.

Looks nice. Wouldn't mind seeing a follow up when u receive it, curious if this effects your reception or not as well

Black and copper (they call it brown). If I like them enough I may get a silver one also. For $7 shipped I don't mind a having a few. I kinda expect them to be a little cheesy
If you like the metals here is another aluminum option that a user here found.
I actually went on a case/cover buying spree last night, getting these and several other options for my fiancee as presents (gotta keep 'em happy!) since I talked her into a white Note yesterday. Should have 4 different styles on the way.

Are they actually metal or a metallic sticker? Fit well? Reception issues?
Could you post a pic of it on your note?
Those look great. I ordered two a Silver one for me and a Pink one for a friend.

anyone else absolutely in love with flex gel cases or is it just me? i just bought an arguile clear flex gel case off ebay. I'm a big case hoarder for all the smart phones i've had. I've found flex gel cases to be the best for everyday, convenient use.
Also, now that i have a white phone, i feel it should be a crime to not go with a clear case and show off my phone rather than hide it's beauty. Anyways, anyone else having an open love affair with flex gel, or is it just me? if so, do you like your buttons with cutout access, or covered? i must know.
well lets see the case man any pics?

I had a nice trident case for my EVO, but after a while it was just way too big. I'm female so my pants pockets are usually small. It's hard to fit one of those cases in one. That's why I absolutely love this material. No friction and relatively strong, without being too bulky.

Yeah I agree. I love the case I have now (tpu case). But I'm a relatively big guy 6'3" so I don't think the added bulk would bother too much ?

The problem with these cases are (especially the cheapy ebay ones) is that they become yellow!!!
Because of the hot/warm battery under heavy usage causes them to become yellow. Otherwise the cases Do perform adequate protection.
I had a clear arguyle case like this on my galaxy s2 and that battery got way hotter while charging that this one. I only had it for a month but i didn't see a yellowish tint. I'm a case fiend so I'm sure in a few weeks ill need to buy a completely different color anyways. So at the price of 6 bucks, I don't mind. sorry for the constant replying. I'm awfully bored at work.

Just ordered one. I have been debating about getting one or not, and finally decided to go for it. I have not had a TPU case since my old blackberry curve 8900
I've decided to find a different bumper as I don't really care for the one I have. So I'm looking for suggestions on bumpers that have the cut outs big enough around the mp3 jack and charging port so that the bumper doesn't have to be removed.
Thanks in advance

Got a link to the bumper you have, so folks don't recommend what you've already got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400281491137?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
That's the one I ordered. It's not nearly as red as it looks in the picture. It's more of a burgandy or maroon red kinda color. I guess I didn't think about this but the clear backing on it looks pretty bad as it starts to get scratches.
Geez. 215 views and none of ya has a bumper that you can fit your mp3 jack and charging attachments into?

I wouldn't really call that a bumper...it's a full case. There are some threads here already that discuss different bumpers, and I don't think most of them need to have their ports enlarged. I have the Anymode bumper on order (should be here today), so I can let you know how that one works. But it costs twice as much as the one you bought.
Thanks, Budge. Am definately interested in your thoughts. I'm not really worried about cost.

What did you not like about your current back cover, and what is it that you're look more for?
Oh there's really nothing wrong with the back cover. Seems to scratch easy but no biggee. What I don't like is it's not really close to being red....more of a burgandy. And I don't like that the cut outs are too small.

I like that they have different colors. The brown would look sexy on the white note, but on a black one may look odd. Note sure though. I noticed they had a burgandy or maroon one, nice to have some options.
Very nice. But that's really pricey.
It reminds me of the Samsung flip cases. I wonder if it supports the NFC antenna as it looks like it replaces the back battery cover.

I don't think it replaces the back cover. They make another version without the flip cover that is a 2-part, front and back snap together case. This one looks just like it. So the back of the case fits over the Note's back cover, then you attach the front bezel.

You should try the yooboa flip cases, they're real leather and half the price.

That's on the optimistic side of typical for HK purchase. I bought some batteries mid month and saw 28th as expected delivery and thought it was great, then when the 29th came I was wondering where my stuff was and looked it up and it actually had said the end of the following month. I was ticked, mostly as myself. Batteries showed up a week or two later though ahead of schedule.
Just bought mine from amazon for $39.99
When you get one of these Tryit cases in, will you please let us know if the bezel covers the edge of the display? From the pictures, it looks like it doesn't (which would allow me to put a Glas.t on it). Thanks.
Once I get it, I'll post pics.

Please give us a review of it when you get it. I don't know why so many of these TPU cases have that "S" line on the back. I think it looks cleaner without it.
They are also showing up on Amazon too.

Thanks! But I'm actually waiting for a white or colored one. I have dark pockets ranging from either purses or jacket pockets. Would really like to be able to see my phone instantly. This is the style I want, though.
Edit: It seems this style actually has different colors. Is it possible to find just the case rather than with the chargers? I live downtown without a car so it isn't really needed.
Edit2: xD; Nevermind, colored cases are for Sprint version.
I dislike silicone because they attract so much dust and lint. But I still ordered one because I don't like my phone being "naked" and there isn't a tpu case out that I like.
I emailed diztronic and they told me that they will have one out in a few weeks. Link is below.

I've had a bunch of those rubberized plastic snap cases before for my old phone. Most of them were pretty bad quality. I'd stay away from the cheap ones on Ebay because they don't get reviewed by users and you can't tell if they are quality or not.
Noted bbz, thanks.
So I've been looking around for an aluminum protective case for my note 3 since it came home. As most of you have heard from others, the full aluminum cases despite the protection, suffer from drastic signal loss. I figured I couldn't go wrong with an aluminum bumper and bought two awesome looking bumpers off ebay. One is a gorgeous solid aluminum bumper with no hole for mic but really nicely made and a thin aluminum bumper with all openings. The biggest drawback of both of these bumpers is that there is no camera protection. As all of you have noticed the rear camera is raised a bit, which makes these bumpers a no go if your laying it down on rear. I saw a full protective case on Ebay that was composed of three pieces : aluminum frame, silicone style case and aluminum rear with a cutout. I went ahead and ordered for a measly $14 and some change, thinking it wouldn't be a big loss. My package arrived today from Hong Kong and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. It is the exact look and feel I wanted. For those who want a nice solid aluminum case with no signal loss I recommend you get one. I hardly write stuff on here but I felt compelled to share my experience.
Here's the link to ebay ad.

I'm pretty sure its for NFC as well. Plus it helps with reception as opposed to solid rear cases with affect reception. Personally I'd like to see someone step it up and make some premium CNC cut luxury cases lime they make for iphones with nicely made cut outs in rear. I reached out to three of those companies today , like MeeJoJo and 2 of them said only iphones and s4 's.
These are just some cnc cases for iphone 5s that I'd like to see for our phones.
I think that case is ugly and weird looking. I think it makes the phone look like a plain block of metal. Maybe it would look better if it was black anodized aluminum.

Had something similar for my previous Note 2. These metal cases tend to cause the phone signal to degrade. Hope you guys won't experience that problem.
