I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
Best Buy giving away free case!!
I got a free case from Best Buy for Preordering my Note from them and then they gave me $50 bucks!

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

Looking into buying the SGP ultra thin case on Amazon. $25 w/ free shipping
how difficult is it to take these cases/covers off of the Note? (so i can change the sd card or battery)
so international Note accessories work well on ATT note，any pics？
For Seidio Fans
Seidio has a place holder up for the Galaxy Note! Won't be long now before the cases come out. I wonder if they will include a holster for the surface case?

Our Gloss TPU and S-Line TPU cases for the Galaxy Note for AT&T are now in stock and ready to ship. The Matte TPU cases are expected next week. Let me know what you think:
Gloss - Black - White
S-Line - Black - White - Clear - Red - Blue - Purple

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

I found this case via the International Note and let me say its awesome.
Packaging:
First class along with the case it comes with 2 Solid Screen Protectors (Film Sheet Type) and Leather Cream.
Fit:
Like a Glove everything is accessible.
Bulk:
Well as a portfolio that holds Cash and Credit Cards is almost doubles the thickness. I believe thats all subjective since if you carry this case you are after a function.
Shipping:
I only bring this up since the case comes from Korea it took approximately 1.5 weeks from order to receipt. I also found the order process for GMarket a pain but in the end if you work through the quirkiness its worth it.
Order from
I highly recommend this case if you are seeking to carry the note and surrender your wallet into one.

After returning two cases to T-Mobile, looking at the lame Incipio cases at ATT, looking at Amazon every day and almost pulling the trigger on a cheap enough Supcase, I finally scrolled thru all the crap on Ebay and ordered 3 cases for a grand total of 22 dollars, yes 20 dollars less than the cheapest case at T-Mobile or ATT. Can you believe the S-View is 65 dollars at Att online, 59.99 from Samsung and lucky for me back ordered or I would have wasted money lol. I'm sure one of these 3 cases will be a winner, a man can dream right?
I originally had 6 cases in my cart and then narrowed it down, I have a white Note 3 fyi, here are the links to the 3 finalists in case anyone likes my taste, it took me 2 hours to wade through pages of them. I only looked at sellers in the United States, only Free shipping and of course buy it now. Can you believe some guy was reselling 5 dollar Upcases from Amazon for 49.99 on Ebay? I doubt anyone is dumb enough to buy one, especially savvy Note 3 owners. Guess I'll be reviewing these 3 cases in a few days lol

The Caseology case could be found cheaper on Amazon and that S View case you bought will not work as stated by other users in the S View threads. The $65 cases are the only working S View cases as of this moment. If you can cancel that Caseology case, you should and buy it on Amazon. It's the same seller too.

The Caseology is the same price once you add the 3 dollar shipping charge on Amazon it becomes 7.99 as well.
I put in a cancel request for the S-View one, worst case he sends it and I don't like I can return it. The description does say it will turn off and on the screen and you can use clocks and music etc thru the window, I sent him a message saying if they don't work I want to cancel but he is 98% rated on Ebay big seller so I'm sure he won't want a bad review either way.

They put "Leather" and "Matte" in their title. That's what got me since on Amazon it's either matte or the leather version. I was thinking of just the leather case which is $5 shipped.
Hi guys
This is my review of the Tridea Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Italian Card Pocket Standing Case in black.
I don't normally review stuff, but I have been looking for weeks for a decent case, and found one, so I thought I would share my findings with you.
The case cost me £20 from here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221294957362
Which I thought was a pretty good price. It is a flip case, it does not replace the back of the phone like the standard Samsung Flip case. The fit is nice and snug, and doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. It is made of faux leather and the inside is a nice soft suade like fabric. There is a slot for 1 credit card.
It closes fully, and doesn't flap upwards. The build quality is very good. The cut outs for the various holes is top notch. It allows the phone to stand either vertically like a book or horizontally via the stand functionality.
Overall I am very happy with the case and would recommend it fully.
Wish list:
I wish it has is the ability to wake the phone when you open the flip!
Second, I would pay extra for some proper soft leather, that would be the icing on the cake!!
Some pictures:
I got an almost identical case in real leather from a hong kong ebay seller and I absolutely love the thing.

For those that don't use Amazon for whatever reason, here it is on ebay for $9.99 free shipping, unlike amazon where shipping is free only if you spend $35 or more. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Moto...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item27fc6b95a0
Nice case, but I'm really hesitant to buy another one. I only have 20 right now.
Btw, does it come with a built in screen protector? I hate those.
No, just a regular case, it has a black rubber case that goes on, then the hard plastic back cover
