There really isn't much selection out there right now. Wondering what upcoming cases you guys are anticipating announced or not. I personally, am hoping that someone puts out a sview knock off that is more practical, and a bit cheaper.
$50 is my absolute limit for a case.
Interested to see what cases you guys, are looking forward too.
I wish I could get GodyGlove hybrid case. This case saved my Note 2 from falling.
But now I have to settle with Tech21 for now.
UAG Scout with the dot/dash pattern
Body Glove is usually good about having cases out at launches but I'm sure they will release a Fusion case with stand soon I hope. I also love Speck slim clear cases and again no idea why they don't have one out at launch.

A high quality genuine leather wallet case from Spigen, with a detachable urethane case to support the driving mode.
Waiting on the Seidio Active Combo.
Here's a good looking one.

Wallet Flip cover. Wanna keep my debit cards with my phone for those times when Google Wallet doesn't work.
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case pre-ordered. Only other case I want is the Spigen Slim Armor View case which they may or may not make.

With Note II I had the original flip case and I was very happy with it. Again now with Note III I seem to like wallet flip case most.
Ideally I'd love something like wallet flip case with no logo in the outer part and made of high quality leather.

Gotta say this is the best TPU case I've ever used. Even better than Diztronic IMO. When Diztronic releases theirs in a few days I may pick one of those up as well, just for comparisons sake.

Getting mine later today can't wait
Received mine today and it's a really nice case. It's not quite as snug as the Tudia Melody case (which is pretty nice for the price) so I suspect that one of the thicker screen protectors would like fit nicely and make the case a bit tighter.
The Bounce has a really nice feel to it, although it's quite a bit more slick than the Melody. The Melody has a more supple texture to it around the edges, making it a bit easier to grip.
As far as looks, the Bounce easily beats the Melody. It has very sleek, modern look to it.
Tudia Ultra Slim Melody case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3U7DC0/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
just got mine also, Ordered on the Oct 20 from main company website (to Canada paid premium shipping to guarantee no custom charges). I got combo with glas t slim (not r) and all seems well. I was under the impression that the glas had individual cutouts for sensors and camera but it is a single opening for ear speaker and sensors. No opening for camera. I think I just got confused. Grey bounce with orange button. I really found the phone just way too slim and the beveled edges of the bounce help to fix that. Still I think a monster battery is in my future. Overall nice purchase and better/easier to grab and go. Just put the glas and protector on so haven't used it yet, but just the front lip makes it much nicer to handle. Love the side buttons.
Just got my bounce case, feel very solid and the side buttons are very smartly designed. Highly recommend, they should produce more colors to choose from.

I thought we'd start a thread to help those with the Official Sumsung Wireless Charging Cover find a case that fits.
Please share a link and description if you've found any. Thanks!

These two, appear to be esentially the same, the first from Poetic and the second from Bear Motion.
One more thing: the Poetic comes in black/gray, white/gray and pink/gray; there is no pink/gray for the latter.

This is the third phone I've had with a bumper. I've dropped my phones many times and the bumpers always protected them, so i wouldn't hesitate to trust one with the wireless charging back.

Thanks, I just received the Bear Motion one and as you stated, it fits great. The only thing I don't like about it is the Power button. Takes a bit of force to register a press. But all in all, I like it... My main concern for a case is just to protect the chrome plastic on the sides, and these bumpers do that. The back covers can be replaced so, bumpers are the way to go for the note 3. Especially when case manufacturers probably won't invest in molding a new case just for people who have the wireless cover.
Thanks for the links!
Yeah, I've tried the SUPCASE and no luck, emailed UAG and SPIEGEN. UAG said NO and haven't heard back from spiegen.
Returning the wireless back tomorrow. I'm just straight disappointed.
I think our best hope is to turn a good tpu into a bumper case. Or maybe email diztronics and tell 'em we're willing to pay $20-25 for a good tpu because the price will be obviously higher for a small run and that we're willing to pay the overhead.

From S4 experience, SGP neo hybrid works with little bulge. Slim armor I don't think it would work. UAG needs messy DIY to trim out plastic part. Most flexible TPU cases works fine example TUDIA melody.

I have the neo hybrid and it does not fit.
Anybody have the black tpu from diztronics by chance? I have the clear and I know it will be tougher to cut than black. I have a black one for my note2and previous phones and it should be easier to cut. I might order two or 3 when I get some extra cash and see if I can make a functional bumper but still looks aesthetically pleasing.

If you're going to order that many, just try out the bumper cases linked in the 3rd post. I purchased the Bear Motion and it fits perfect.
Actually, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid circuit, that though tight, fits. It's just that it is a bit too slippery, and not as grippy as the bare OEM charge back for my taste. So I'm sticking to the Poetic bumper for now.

I wonder if Samsung is going to release a protective case that fits the wireless charge back. I am sure that would be the best option. Their protective case for the note2 is best tpu for protection. The tactile feedback on the buttons were bar none and the flat lip around the screen made touching, swiping and palm swiping very easy. the tpu protected very well against a few drops. The only thing was a slight negative was the hard back. Was slippery using on desks, but other than that it was perfect. I use bumper blisters on my cases anyways so the hard backing was a non issue and the hard backing is preferable for my line of work. I hope Samsung's note3 cases are just like the note2.

I still dont get why people dont just use the inserts.
I did use an insert. Bulged the cover. Bulged my tpu. Ended up breaking a cover and had to buy another. I want a flat back.

I put an insert in my Note 3 a few days ago and it did cause a bulge, it looked like only a bumper would fit.
This morning I took the plastic off the back of the insert and trimmed the plastic under the coil as close to the copper as I could, including cutting off the double-sided tape that was there to hold it in place against the battery. I used a stop of regular clear tape to hold it while I put the cover back on. Now it is so flat you wouldn't know there's anything extra there. It would absolutely fit in any case made.
Since I prefer the bumper and got one for under $5 with shipping I'll stick with that.

Way cheaper than the official back and it works with most cases. I have the insert with a mime glass screen protector and the UAG case fits perfect. and the insert works just as well as the official back and yes i know it works the same cause i had the back and took it back when the insert came in

Thanks but is there any bulge? having owned 4 Galaxy S4's I know the Yijieneng receivers were the best fit cause the chips were designed to fit in the "notch" for the Microsd. I don't see any notch where the chips would go in the Note 3, so I'm thinking all other inserts will have a slight bulge...
I'm waiting for the S-View Cover w/ wireless charging to be released. I had the Spigen SlimArmor View for the S4 and loved that case, worked perfectly with the yijieneng insert with no bulge.
Just received a White UAG today.....Thought i'd do a quick comparo with a Slim Armor (Metal Slate) that I've had on for the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong....both these cases are a excellent choice and I'll be swapping between them both. I'll add to this list after a few days of use as well.
UAG over the Slim Armour Case
- Tighter Fit
- More Lightweight
- Grippier Sides (thanks to the Honeycomb Pattern)
- Lip on the front is bigger (more face protection)
- Bigger Hole for the micro USB 3.0
- Bigger Hole for headphone Jacks
- More rugged masculine looking
- Slighly more camera protection (Deeper Groove)
- 1 piece deisgn
- Bigger Hole for IR Blaster
- Least resistant to cosmetically scratch
Slim Armor Over the UAG case
- Classier Sleeker Prossional look
- Cutouts are more professonally done/ finished
- 2 piece design (could be a con)
- Slighly Thinner
- Cheaper (depends where you get it from but in my case it was $6 cheaper)
On Par-
- Tactile Buttons for the Power and Volume are excellent
- Both have "feet" on the back to protect the case
- Both excellent designs and looks
- Both I think could take a fairly big hit or drop and do the job intended
- Both go very well with a Glass.t tempered screen protector
I feel that the SA has significantly worse tactile feedback for the power button. The SA power button is more recessed and mushy. The SA also has a crappy cutout for the headphone port, most earbuds won't fit unless the plug is skinny like on the samsung headset. The UAG opening practically fits every 3.5mm plug I've tried.
we hope to see some great pics if it possiple

Man that is a tuff choice. Cant wait to see some pics soon. Love they way both look.
Thanks for the pics. The UAG is bulkier but lighter?
Also, is the Slim Armor Metal Slate the only non-glossy/shiny color? Looks good.

Yeah the UAG is a fair bit lighter. Its weird that the UAG is that much thicker because when its on the phone you'd think the slim armor is bulkier.
I think the slate is the only not glossy one of that series. ..that was one of the reasons why I got that color.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can confirm that after nearly a weeks use.... I believe the UAG case is more of a keeper than the slim armor.....it just feels better on the phone. The lightweight construction is a massive plus. The Grippier sides and the better designed face lip are all a bigger advantage. I'm extremely impressed by this case.

from here.....comes with free shipping. probably took 10 or so business days from order to delivery...and that was to Australia....quicker to US i'd imagine?
SlimArmor FTW
UAG Worth its money
I got my white UAG case along with my white GN3. Although i tried no other case on it, i have to say i'm impressed by its looks and construction. The case is stunnigly use friendly and the added bulk is beneficial to have a steady grip in the little monster (at least for my hands). The one piece hybrid design is better than i thought since the rubber part is sturdier and less of a dirt sweep than a 2 piece (had otterbox in my hd2 and casemate in my gn1 with the latter being a total disappointment).
On the plus side if you favor cases that draw attension uag will pimp your gn3 like no other. Most of my tecnology illiterate friend notice the case before the phone.
Finally i can confirm that UAG has free shipping with their cases and the delivery time was about 8 days for me.
What about the issue with the missing cutout for the temp/humidity sensor (whatever that is)? Has there been a v2 which fixed it?
No issue now with the cut out. ...they fixed it a few weeks back.

are you able to tell me which one can connect to the multimedia dock without removing the case?
currently using the PDAIR booktype slim case and it fit on the multimedia dock but the top two side plastic is crack and about to break soon.
I am on a market for a new case that fit on the multimedia dock. Currently thinking of buying the Seidio Surface case as it looks like it can fit the dock and has a kickback stand.
Can someone confirm for me

Hye guys. I bought a new case for my note 3 today, and im quite sure this brand is not as famous as others, but it really looks nice and simple for me.
First of all, the price is quite affordable, bought it for $18 at local store in my country. (approximately $14usd) Design-wise, it resembles Spigen Neo Hybrid but much slimmer, and the back has textured-leather like design, and it really feels like leather, which imo fells comfortable and non slippery, plus has the stitching design that looks similar with the original back cover of Note 3. The plastic rims that cover the whole bezel also feels quite good. All ports are easily accessible. Protection wise, i think it doesnt offer much protection, so tempered glass is a must. below is the link to the actual product, sorry that i cant post the pics. and im not sure about the availability in other countries.

That i believe is jackplug (that cover your jack from dust), not really sure what people named it though,lol.
That's a pretty nice looking case! What exactly is the back piece made of? Is it plastic made to look like leather, or is it some kind of TPU material? Also how is the grip on the sides?
I won't be switching from my Defender any time soon, but I think my wife might like the pink one shown on the website if her wallet case ever gives out.

the back piece is actually made of soft TPU, so it feels much more leather-like compared to the original back cover. Those who likes to use their phone naked will appreciate this case as it feels literally the same,if not much better. and the rims at the side is not slippery plastic, provide nice grip compared to other hybrid cases that i had used.
More pictures (close-up) and they also give screen protector inside the packaging
