Anyone spotted any aluminum bumpers yet?
I would prefer a slim bumper that screws on, I have seen the draco but it seems very fat with strange cuts in it.
I would like to see that, what do you mean strange cuts? And doesn't the metal case affect the antennas?

Here is the Draco, it's very expensive and is wierdly shaped,

Here is just a generic aluminum n2 bumper from Hong Kong, nice and clean, not enlarging the already ginormous note 3 foot print.
See what I mean?
Something like this with a spigen nano rounded glass screen protector should be great combo!

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but this seems to have potential. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZMAU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
The outer frame is probably plastic, but this was the first thing that came to mind looking at your question.

Hideous? no way, there case is really nice. The issue with Draco cases is that you will lose reception.
I owned Draco and 2 different ElementCase aluminum case for the iPhone 5. I like the sleek look of Draco but since I do lose reception I pretty much threw away 100 bucks. The ElementCase Ronin for the iPhone is what I use everyday. It is an awesome case but it is a costly.
I would definitely buy an aluminum case if it’s available for the N3. Currently I purchased Spigen NeoHybrid for a temp case for the N3. Hopefully there is a nicer/higher-end case.

Yeap that's what I'm waiting for is one of those cheap aluminum bumpers like the one pictured above.
I Dont want drop protection as much as I want something to just keep that chrome plastic on the sides from chipping up like every Samsung device eventually does if it doesn't have a case.
Hopefully I can get a replacement back cover that matches the color of bumper that I get

Not sure where you got those pictures, but those are not case made by Draco. Those are cheap cases made in China.
Link: http://www.dracodesigninc.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1819
Compare the difference between both cases.

Thats the point everyone has been making the whole entire thread,
the Draco looks terrible with those odd bulges and increases the footprint of an already huge device, while the
$6.00 cheap chinese bumper looks much nicer to me anyways..

The Draco bumper case was odd for the HTC One just odd and didn't look right so I passed on it. I would like to see what they do for the GN3 if they offer onel. As noted they do offer one for the GN2 http://www.dracodesigninc.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1881 but I'm not sold on potential antenna loss.
And where can I order with delivery in Russia?
Those are sweet! Good find.

Well I know that they will be adding more cases because I reviewed the site about two months ago and all they had were the Aegis and Cyclops series. The Kraken series is new for the Atrix.
I use the Speck case currently and I couldn't be happier with this product but if I do buy another case it will definitely be the Kraken because of the kick stand built into it. Dope!
I think I might pick up the kracken. I like the can lens cover, among other things.

It has three parts, a silicon back-cushion, and the two poly-carbonate(plastic) front and back that clip around it. The plastic has a soft touch finish which gives you a solid grip. I do not like that the crease between the two is so obvious, but the two are securely attached so i can overlook it.
As any rugged case expect it to be bulky.
But it's not as bulky as an Otterbox Deffender.
Unlike the Otterbox Defender this case will not insert the belt-clip with the screen facing outwards or upside down. It only goes in one way, this is something I'll have to get use to.
My favorite feature is the kickstand.
I am confident That this will supply the same amount of protect as my Defender. I will replace my defender with this and will let you know how it handles the first drop.
I have had the otter-box, hated it ... Otter rubber loose, lack of directional screen dock and no car dock for charging etc... Base phone has a great dock.
I bought the trident case, the base unit - Much better case, camera lense cover instead of a dust hole like the Otter. Rubber is much tighter and a little more grip never hurts.
Now I need to mod a phone blank, add a pig-tail cable so I can mount the blank phone in the car dock, route the power out about 3 inches to the glued on belt clip - Hey, you never know, that just might catch on.
just bought the Aegis case for my phone; i'll post pictures when i receive it.
update, if anyone is interested. my case came in the mail today, but unfortunately the package got crushed and the case was damaged. i contacted the seller and asked him if i could get a new one and mail this one back, but they're giving me trouble. said they were out of stock, but i don't really believe that.
anyways, i'm just gonna order another one (this time from Trident themselves) and i'll be posting pictures when it arrives.
it looks really cool though, doesn't look like it'd add a lot of bulk. a little smaller than my Speck case. can't wait to get one that isn't broken, and the kickstand feature is really cool

well, i superglued the case back together (i can't get a replacement anyways, figured i'd try to fix it... didn't work out too well >.<). it's not worth using as a daily case in it's current condition, but i'll snap a few pics for you! just remember that it'll look a LOT better after i get one that didn't come snapped in two pieces =\
I just ordered mine as well. I've always loved Otterbox gear in the past, but this one is a flaming piece of crap.
Here's to hoping it doesn't suck.
Figured I'd post my thoughts, as I just got the Kraken case and from what I've seen so far it is a great case. I've have the body glove silicone case I got at the AT&T store and one of the mesh cases. guess I'm a but of a case junkie. My last phone, the LG Expo did not have God support and there were only a few case options, and I've kind of gone off the deep end with my Atrix.
My daughter and son-in-law have i-phones with Otterbox cases and the way the silicone comes loose and gets caught when pulling it out or putting it in your pocket gets really annoying. I like how the outer case of the Kraken isn't silicone, it slides into my pocket without any drama.
As posted on the previous page the seam where the case joins isn't as nice as I was expecting from the pictures online from trident. But my case seems to have gone together a little better than his did. The included screen protector is fairly decent but how it holds up remains to be seen. It looks like it can be removed fairly easily if it gets to scratched up. Time will tell and I will update my review if anything changes.
Seeing that I just got it, I'll wait before I review the holster as I haven't used it enough to give a fair review.
All in all, so far I really like it.
I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

Then it's not for you. The point of a case this style is not to be slim & sexy. It's to keep heavy handed fools like us from destroying our several hundred dollar investment.
Mine came in the beginning of this week, and so far I'm happy with it. Looks and feels much better than my Otterbox did, but there is the 'seam' issue as posted above.
and thats what its all bout, being happy. I thinking bout getting one now. I choose function over form any day.. If i was worried bout how my phone looked i would bedazzle it, lmao.
As it turns out, this case sucks too. Admittedly, I'm rough on my gear, but this puppy was coming apart at a 2ft impact from day 1.
It looks and feels great, but definitely doesn't hold up like an Otterbox.

Hi,
I just got a gel case and set of 3 screen protectors off of Ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17068638073...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4357wt_1037
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18072112098...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_4900wt_1037
I'm not associated with the seller, but thought that if anyone was interested:
- The gel case (I got the white one) fits pretty well. Snug, and all the holes in the right places (the power and volume+/- buttons are covered, but slightly raised).
- The protectors were actually not bad. I always hate putting these things on (bubbles, dust), but these were pretty heavy gauge plastic or whatever, so not bad for 3-4 USD (incl shipping).
- Shipping to East Coast U.S. took about 2 weeks (seller shipped next day, but then...).
Just an FYI.
My daughter, who also has an SGP5, bought locally, and paid almost $50 for case and protector (with "lifetime warranty"). She's still telling me she likes hers better, but for less than $10, I like mine ...

but have a little problem about I order black one but sent me red one.

This case has two additional cut out area, one for the upper left corner and one to the left of the usb port on the bottom. All cutouts work and the buttons are covered, but the area is raised so its easy to access them.
I originally bought a $10 dollar stylus and these ones are much cheaper. They aren't made of a metal body but they do the job if anyone needs styluses for their device.

White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin
Thanks to those who recommended this skin cover for the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 from seller "thomaszoe1314" on ebay.
White New Soft TPU Gel Case Cover Skin For Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 G70 YP-G70 (180721120989)
I paid $4.88 with free shipping from HongKong! I ordered the white one on 12/15 and was delivered just two weeks later by USPS even with the holiday rush.
It fits perfectly snug and was just right in terms of tightness for installation without forcing too hard. It has solved the problem with the SGP5.0 being hard to hold onto and also when setting it down on a hard surface without a thud.
The skin is attractive and has a couple of unnecessary holes for other versions but they dont do any harm.
Along each edge where where you pick it up, there are nice treads to improve the grip even further.
When sliding SGP5.0 into my shirt pocket the plastic doesn't "stick" to the fabric and make it hard to get into my pocket.
The plastic doesn't stink like some cheap toy plastics and the molding details are all refined and top quality.
The buttons (power and volume) are fully functional beneath the plastic.
Very pleased, and thanks again to the previous posters here that alerted me to this bargain!

Hi,
Actually, I hadn't noticed that, but when I put the 2nd one on another SGP5, there is a piece that covers the home button area that can be popped out (which I actually did). Sorry about not mentioning that in the original post.

i'm using imak jelly case from ebay like this,
good quality, but glossy case
Ok this is my review of the Spigen Neo Hybrid (Dante Red in Color )
Ok so to start off.
this is one awesome case its slim and fits in the hand great it has 2 peices one is a silicone rubber shell which is not thin or flimsy and then it has a red bumper that snaps around the shell it has little slips that makes the fit snug and tight it has a very gripable bumper it is very easy to grip also it has raised volume buttons making it realy easy to press the volume or power button so all around a good cases.
Pros
Doesnt add bulk to the phone.
The slim case is a very great build quality and probably one of the best slim cases on the market.
The case is ultra slim and is easy to grip with its plastic bumper.
The shell offers a raise around the screen of the phone to keep scratches or damage from laying the phone flat face down.
The buttons are super easy to press due to the raise in the buttons.
Most importantly it looks awesome with the bright red bumper around the shell and chrome buttons and the 13 MP around the camera cut out adds the bit of detail that makes it standout.
Cons
Fingerprints are easy to show on the case and takes some effort to get em off I only realized it after 3 dayse of use

Fitting the case to the phone can be quite tricky .
The Chrome volume buttons and power kind of slides up and down.
Other than that I can not find anything I dont like about this case .
Im sorry if this review wasnt good I just wanted to take a min to share my thoughts.
Trick to get the case on without it hangind is to install the case wit
The the bumper on it and just fit the phone into the case it will hang in the bottom right corner just pull the rubber out and itll fit snug all you do then is go around the case sliding the bumper into the silicon slits making it fit .
The the 2 men sticker doesnt come with the case I just applied it .

I already opened the box and took the case out
The box the case comes in is very well built its hard plastic its nice to see a case maker actually send cases out in something besides cardboard or light plastic
To make sure you dont recieve a fake case or a cheap copy in the box there is a Authentication Card .

Yeah if you notice the SPIGEN and NEW HYBRID are a bit large and some of the cases the MEGA near the camera cutout actually says MEGR. They are all fakes. If you find this case less than $20 new, which used ones run around that price, than its most likely fake.

I ordered mine the day I got my Note which was the 26th and it took awhile because I don't even think Spigen had them in stock but I love it and it gets a lot of attention!
I also chose the Neo-Hybrid as my case of choice, but in Metal Slate . I like how it doesn't add much bulk at all to the phone. My only gripe is that it prevents a standard 3.5mm Jack from plugging in. You either need to use some sort of extension or remove the case altogether :-\.

You can get them on eBay as well but you need to be careful because there are a lot of fakes on there.
I just received my black Red pepper case for my Note 3. I bought it on eBay for $27 and it was shipped from California. Shipping was fast (2 days) and free.
Craftsmanship: 7/10
- Review the photos below and you'll see that the foam area on the inside of the case around the earpiece is misaligned. I am still able to hear calls just fine, but it's a bad look.
- The case fits together very tightly, and in my case it was too tight. I had to trim a few supports off the inside of the back of the case to keep my home button from staying pressed.
Usability: 10/10
- it is easily as waterproof as my Love Mei case and probably even better. All the holes are nicely sealed and the case comes together well.
Looks: 9/10
- in my opinion, the case looks well. It comes in many different colors, so you can easily pick whichever choice pleases you.
- the back of the case is the feaux stitched leather just like the back of the note 3.
Feel: 8/10
- this thing is Light. Much lighter than my aluminum case.
- it did not add much to the height or width of my Note, but it made it about 1/2" thicker.
- the outside of the case is some type of rubber. It feels just like the rubber on the corners of the UAG case. This is great because it doesn't stick to my pockets like silicone. On the other hand, it is a little slippery in my hand, but it is much better than going caseless.
Overall I'd give it an 8/10. The price is so cheap that you can easily get one as a spare and keep it as an outdoors case if you prefer something more elegant as a daily case. The case feels good, and I have a full signal. My GPS is back to normal and I feel like my phone is safe in this case. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a "Lifeproof" style case. I even ordered another for my wife.

No, the menu and back buttons are very sensitive. The power and volume buttons are stiff, but not hard to press if that makes sense. When I first put it on it was too tight and My home button wouldn't function. I had to shave a few millimeters off of all the tabs circled below. Now it fits perfectly and everything is working great.

Yea, I'm in West Alabama. I'd say it's worth it if you need the protection. I need it for work. I like having all my ports covered too. If I was going for looks I'd go for something like the UAG personally, but this is not a bad looking case. It is sturdy. I'll try the waterproof test and get back.

How does one know these are not fakes? They are very cheap compared to Red pepper home page and on these ebay pictures they look rather filmsy to me. Also, does the screen protector make a clicking sound on the screen?

The call quality is good. I had to turn my speaker down a little because the sound was a bit distorted. That's not a bad thing though. It is very clear at a medium/high volume and I have had no complaints from people on the other end.

I don't. They could be fake. I'm not making any claims here. I am not the seller, nor am I affiliated with the seller.
I have never held an authentic red pepper case so I can't compare this to that, but if this is a fake It is an elaborate fake. The box and all the accessories are nice. The manual was well written. It looks nothing like a cheap knock off case.
Yes, the screen protector does make a really faint clicking sound when you tap on it, but it is barely noticeable.

How do you find the grip on it?
I have a the Casemate Naked Tough Clear (which I bought from Telus when I got the phone on Saturday), which is nice. But's it's incredibly smooth and I don't like the feeling that the phone is going to fall out of my hand if I don't keep a good grip on it.
Of course, a useless video.
Real review; this is a cheap hard plastic case. Adequate stopgap while there are no "good" cases available yet, but will provide very little protection for the phone overall.

Dude, the Tech21 case is awesome. Offers over 6' drop protection as well and has fantastic grip. I also got the Cimo Wave and was surprised how much I like it for being just a tpu case. Slim, cheap, but also nice looking with good grip. At the Verizon store I did a test. I put the different cases on my phone and laid out in my open palm. Then I'd slowly tilt my hand to see how easily the case would slide of my hand. I think the Otterbox was about the worst. It was slicker than snot on ice. The Tech21 stayed in my hand almost to about 75 degrees rotation. Yet it still slides in & out of my pocket with ease.

I got the Rugged Armor over the one with the kick stand just because I figured the kick stand would undoubtedly get hung up in my pocket during a fiery car crash and prevent me from calling a drunk friend to come get me out of the car before it blows up.
I'm not sure of the details, but for me, it works fine. It isn't going to save you if you are careless, but if you are just looking for a case to help prevent scratches, dings, and daily use blemishes, it is fine. If you need something because you like to rage throw your phone or are usually balancing atop cement dividers on the highway and sometimes drop your phone, I'd buy a better one or take up juggling lessons.

If you're in Canada, my local Telus store (Rideau Centre, Ottawa) had the Tech21 case for the Pixel (I didn't see it for the Pixel XL, but admittedly wasn't looking). Unfortunately, it's $45.00 CDN.
I picked up the Spigen Rugged Armor and am very happy with it. It's quite low-profile (especially coming from the UAG case I had on my old Note 3) has a moderate amount of grip, and feels and looks good. And at $14.99 CDN with free Prime shipping from Amazon, it was far cheaper than anything I could get locally.

Speak for yourself. Not all of us want/need a bulky otter box style case.
I like the little design detail that echoes the glass panel, and hope more cases do the same.
