Has anyone tried one of these SZLF Aluminum Bumper cases for the AT&T Note? It appears this is only for the International version but I am not aware of any differences in the size of the phone so it may work for both. All of the listings I have found for this on eBay only mention i9220 and N7000 though.

Also, if you have tried this, does the case cover the edges of the screen (further protecting a screen protector)? I like the look of this one as well as the Anymode Bumper but the Anymode looks really big.

It'll fit the AT&T/Canadian Note.
I recommend u get the following one. It's well worth the money.

Sweet armor is nice and all, but the fake is 1/4 the price, so it would win my vote. The review showed that the original is better made, but I just don't think it's that much better depending on how biased the review is.
I got the sweet armor (fake version, same as szlf) and ended up not using it. Here's why:
1. Makes phone more slippery and heavy
2. Scratches screen protector when taking on and off (and you must take it off to access battery)
3. Not very ergonomic

They look cool, some people like them, I just don't see the point since I agree with primarily your first point. The other day I was laying in my recliner with my 2 year old beside me and we were looking at a zoo app of animals while holding my phone above us. It slipped and I cracked my poor baby girl in the face with my phone. Since then I keep the silicon jacket on it untill my Seidio comes in the mail.
Can't stand the "SZLF" logo all over it...
Stay away from Aluminum Bumpers
My buddy and I both have Notes. We were just troubleshooting (Like 15 muintes ago) network connectivity problems he has been experiencing here at work the last few days. The connection would drop or stay at 4G, and rarely hit LTE. What we discovered was it was the aluminum bumper he installed around the same time the problems started. It drastically reduce his signal quality. Stay far away from these.
Thanks everyone for all the feedback. Based on the issues with potentially scratching the screen protector putting this bumper on and the poor signal strength I am just going to keep looking for something else. I like the BoxWave TPU case I have now but it does not cover the edge of the screen/SP so every once in awhile I notice it pushing up against the SP causing the SP to move slightly.

I am not sure, but it also looks like the battery cover for the N7000 is different than the one on the I717. Noticed on this SZLF case, the bottom back portion would block the I717 cover.

Wow, I didn't even notice that. It looks like it is a Galaxy SII but all over the eBay sale it mentions Note N7000.
Thread is created in order to keep all the Cruzerlite cases for the Note 3 organized and in one spot. If you have reviews, pics, words to say, questions, etc... this is the thread to post in.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case [pics and video]
Cruzerlite has been one of my favorite case companies for Android devices. When I used my Galaxy S3 and S4 as my daily driver device I always ended up using a Cruzerlite case for my case daily driver. Specifically I used the Android green A2 case for the GS3 and the Android Clone Army for the GS4. The design is simple but it looks good and thin. The same great designs are now available for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
What I like about Cruzerlite cases is that they are thin, smooth, pocketable and look great. TPU material is actually very durable. So you will be protected against scrapes, scratches and bumps. The case is raised above the screen so you have the option to place the phone face down without worry of screen damage. The case will protect against most drops. The installation is very easy and all ports/buttons are fully accessible. The Androidified case also has some extra grip on the sides that will help reduce the chances of the dreadful drops.
The green Bugdroid case looks really cool. The outline of the Andy logo stand out and the circuit board design really brings out the Android pride. Personally I like the green color and I think it looks cool on the white Note 3. One of my favorite designs Cruzerlite has is the Circuit Androidified case lineup.

why is there a huge cut out there? no mic hole or anything.. maybe a theres a note 3 that has the antenna thing that they have in asia because they like to watch tv and cruzerlite just made it like that so they can just manufacture one case... im not sure could help for heat from the cpu? i did notice it gets hot close to that area..maybe the cpu chip is by there..
thanks for the pic.. seems like a hole instead of the note 1 case were you can use a strap or a phone charm ect..

well mine just came.... fits nice but not perfect.. its ok.. i tried to realign it and pop it out and back in and you can still see the bezel on top/bottom pop out a bit just like the pic on the web site ..we get what we pay for.. its pretty slim thin i like it but my spigen is a tank of a case i seem to like it more even it has a more bulk to it. i still like the case.. i did notice it dont have a cut out hole the the right bottom corner next to the S-Pen as you can see..
also theres like a black dot or something on the back i tried to wash it but seems like it was caked/baked in the case.. should i contact them about it and the no hole for the what i think its the mic hole next to the S-PEN corner?

Hi Guys
Has any one of you tried this Amzer belt clip case for his/her N3....????
Well I would like to mention one more thing that I have used the case of this manufacturer first time ever...and m really pleased to buy this one....the quality of this belt clip is just awesome....I use it at my work place and even in long daily run too and it really makes me feel worry free regarding my N3.....the toughness of this belt clip is the material of being tested I have checked it with many other belt clip owners and in all the case it did justice with me :good:...so I am really impressed and excited about this product quality and have also dropped a mail to the manufacturers(Amzer) to discuss about the material they have used for creating it....
Is there any one who has tried this one or the similar one...having some great experience.....???
Please do post and share your experience ...
Don't have one for my note 3. This is the first I've seen of it though this is what I've been waiting for.
I've used them on my previous phones, galaxy s4 and droid razr maxx hd. They work well. Have to be careful not to break the clips for the kickstand (they're just two tiny dots).
Fairly sturdy too.
I never used the belt clip though.

Well I have created this thread just to depict its blet clip quality because I have also used this kind of belt clip case on my previous phones but the quality of belt clip was not that much fine enough to go on for a long time...but after using this case I can say the toughness of this belt clip is really the one to be trusted and I have also mentioned in my above post that I am trying to contact the operations person or the CEO as if which product material they are using for the belt clip as it is really tough and strong one....so just waiting for a reply and will surely update you whatever they revert......
I don't have this case but i bought similar ones for my note 2 and note 1 and i only used holster/ belt clip not the case itself because the case doesn't protect the phone that much, the TOP and the Bottom of the phone is not covered so i would use a TPU case with that Holster.
Since i need a belt clip for my phone, i am gonna buy this coz you recommend that it has better belt clip and thats what i need not the case.

Yes it is the same one....yes its not that much covered from top and bottom as I was looking for a sturdy belt clip case one for me so there it goes much better on comparison to other one available in the market and moreover it does not even hamper the screen on putting it on table from screen side ...not so much pricey even ...so its worth of its cost to go for it on behalf of considering the product quality....

Closest thing I've personally seen is on the usbgeek site. I'm new and can't post links but it's called "book case for note 3."
Like this?
These are on eBay for $16.
I have found some make by a Korean company called araree. You can find them at zoarah.com, they have a polycarbonate shell on the inside. I haven't bought one yet because I have the wireless back cover and afraid it won't fit.

I purchased one from amaz0n on Friday. It should be here tomorrow. I will take pics and post them as soon as it comes in. :good:
I am very happy with the quality of this case. The one issue I had with it was that it had no clasp. I do not like the idea of dropping this and having the front flip open and it land screen down. That would kind of defeat the whole purpose of having a case like this. So I modified mine with a leather strap and button clip to close it.

There are 2 types of cases. One is made of hardcover

There other one is made of faux leahter for outer cover and hardcover for interior

have you try to use spigen's case
I ordered the Design case from the company in China directly, the price is reasonable and they seem to have a reasonable return policy. I'll post pictures/review when I get it.

It feels like real leather as I believe it is. Granted it is thin as they use hard backing to make up most of the thickness, but it is holding up very well and I am very pleased with the quality. I get compliments on it all the time when I go shopping or to the bank.:good:

Well that one looks nice to. I think they both use the same leather. At least that is what it looks like. The only reason I did not go with that one is that I wanted four card slots rather then three. I like the clear fourth slot for the ID so I do not have to pull out my DL all the time. But that seems to be the only difference I can tell as far as quality and function. At least yours comes with a clasp so you do not have to modify like I did.

So, got the case today. It's highly impractical for everyday use.
* It has VERY sharp corners so do NOT put it in your pockets.
* If you want to text, the cover part bends behind and is IN the way of your left hand while you text
* The cover doesn't close flush with the device screen when closed and sitting on a desk
* The material, while it seems sturdy, feels REALLY cheap and made out of cardboard. Just feels cheap.
* If you fold the cover back when you place this case on your desk, it sits VERY awkwardly on the desk at a weird angle.
* If you want to take a picture, HOW do you take a picture with the cover closed? The camera is exposed in the back, but how if you open the cover and it hangs down, it is just * impractical to take pictures.
* The inside cover of the case is cardboard. I would NEVER put a card (only room for one) in the slot. I would be VERY afraid of it ripping and the card falling out.
I'm not sure when this is meant to be used? If you hold the device in your hand and you are playing a game or texting, the cover is very bulky that makes it very difficult to use in your hands.
All in all, I wouldn't use this as an every day case. It's a LOT more bulky when opened back on itself for use.
The sharp corners are SCARY in my pocket. I scratched my leg at least 4 times during the course of 3 hours.
The case is now sitting on my desk unused.
Recommendation:
Nice idea. Bad execution. Impractical case.

I think this is the same seller that I bought my leather strap from. It looks like the same basic design. There is a metal ring (not ring, it's the shape of the outline of the watch that fits in the groove around the watch). It's hinged under one strap, and screws together under the other. Just unscrew, open, close it around the watch and refasten the screw.
If you're concerned about it falling out, there is no chance.

Interesting so in theory I could make my own straps using the mechanism? That's worth it to me
I understand why the strap costs as much as it does, I just with it didnt lol. $45 is a bit steep for me. I think Samsung really dropped the ball on this one. They really should either make other straps, or make an adapter, or work with vendors to make adapters. I guess the Gear line of watches arent popular enough for that though. Does anyone know if the S2 will have the same issue with straps? I haven't seen any being made for it yet, but it is still quite new
