Just put in the order for $21 change....
i know i will not be happy with the case....really looking forward some good clear bumpers.....
the only problem is how do you make such a big ass phone less bulky....
and if you are going to add bulk...how to make it look classy?

Ordered Bounce and Ultra-Crystal also. Only brand name case I could get before phone arrives.
Anyone have past experience with Bounce models?
I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.
ยข via my interim device KFHD
I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZJEY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

I got two SPIGEN Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case Protective Slim Fit Dual Protection Cover for Galaxy Note III below for $2 lol I thought it wa a accident as they were priced so low. Then they went up to 24.99! I should of bought 10 lol
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-Samsun...&qid=1380702218&sr=1-4&keywords=spigen+note+3
Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

I have the bounce and it compliments the phone very well. And it looks classy to me. Gives me a good grip too. I am actually preferring it over my sview for now.

I just thought I may as well post a little review on this case. I bought this case at the same AT&T Corp store that I bought my SGS II on Sunday.
This case has a very high quality feel to it. The fitment was incredibly tight though. This is likely because it is designed to fit both the international and AT&T SGS II devices. This should be obvious if you look at the fourth pic. It clearly shows openings for both the international and AT&T NC mic positions.
I have to be honest, I only chose this case because the Case-Mate and Ballistic options were far too bulky for my taste. This case provides enough protection, for me anyway, without adding too much bulk. I really wasn't too keen on the leather insert at first either.
In the last few days of use, I have come to really like this case. I even appreciate the leather insert. It provides a high-end feel to the case and provides for outstanding grip. The front lip barely covers the chrome bezel. I actually had to work the case to get it to completely wrap around the front of the device. The end result is a case that looks and feels like part of the phone.
At this point, I can say I highly recommend this case for anyone who doesn't need a bulky case (although they provide more protection), and who also wants something more than just a gel cover.

Thanks for this review! I am looking for something less bulky than the case-mate. I'll have to check this out when I stop in my local ATT store. How much they selling them for?
I believe it was the usual rip-off price of $35. However, they give me 20% off on accessories at this store (frequent shopper there LOL). I am sure there are better deals, but I did not want to take a chance of messing up my phone before finding a case elsewhere. I paid full retail price so a few extra bones wasn't that big of a deal.
I was planning to return it, but I can't find anything similar online. If I find it online cheaper, I will buy it and return this one for sure. Either way, I am happy enough as it is.
I just bought this case today. I love it! Its like a mix between a hard case and tpu. If you had the bodyglove case on your captivate, you'll love this case. I like the look of the leather back, as I think it adds some class. This case doesn't add that much bulk either.
That was my first choice but the store rep couldn't get it to fit properly so I went with the ballistic even In this case the phone feels tiny in my Herman Munster hands after the infuse in a ballistic case I love this phone just gotta adjust to it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I also got this case. I like it a lot, it keeps the same of the phone without adding much bulk at all!
I got this case for my AT&T Galaxy S2 on launch day and I LOVE it. The Ballistics were just ridiculous. As far as getting the case on goes, I couldn't get it to fit at first but if you put it in bottom only, completely lip it; then top, completely lip it; then work the sides, it will always fit perfectly. Sometimes I feel like Gollum caressing my precious Ring with this baby.
Picked up this case today and absolutely love it. It doesn't add much weight to the phone and i feel it still keeps it slimness. As far as fitment goes. It does fit damn tight. I put it on the best I could at the store. I squeezed the sides to get the lip to go over but never could get the bottom corners to cover properly. Once I got home, I took it back out, then put it back on in reverse. This did the trick and it went on a lot easier.
I'm probably going to end up buying this case ASAP... I was interested in it for a while, but was afraid that it may have been too bulky.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I just picked this case up from the AT&T store today. I have to say, it isn't a bad case but it adds a little bulk to the phone. I have another case coming in from Amazon tomorrow so we will see which one is better. I am not really a fan of the buttons being covered though since it makes it a little harder to press. I can already tell that this case will offer a lot of protection to any standard drop.
This is a great case!! been having it since Monday.
One thing to note is that if you are getting a discount on your cell phone plan you should also get that same discount on any accessories that you buy from AT&T.
I too chose this case with my purchase. it was the best of the lot,but I cannot keep this case. it just does not fit. I get 50% accessories on my plan. I went back to a store (not the one I got it from) thinking that they might have others. When I told the rep about the fit she said they are having returns for the same reasons. Found one that seem better on ebay waiting for it to come in. In the mean time I will kee this case to protect my baby, but will return within 30 days.
On another note anyone got the ivisor AG screen protector? not sure i am liking it. It seem to make my screen dim because of the non-glare, cant seem to find any good one on the net, they all seem to be for the international version. things are new so I will wait a bit.

I am on a corporate account through my employer and get 15% off. I asked them about that discount on accessories and they said that it only applies to service plans. I guess I will be returning the case today after work...

What soft cases don't cover the buttons? If they didn't cover them, you wouldn't be able to reach them.

What problems are you having with fitment? While it does take a little bit to get it on right, it should still fit. I had problems with the bottom corners until I took it out then put in back on, starting on the opposite end.

The one I ordered and received from Amazon covers only the volume u/d buttons and has a cutout for the sleep/power button. I can press the power button just fine. I like this case better than the AGF from AT&T. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone and was almost 1/3 the price so I will return it after work.

That one doesn't look bad. I see they made a large cut out where the power button goes. Don't really care for that big cutout but to each his own. Mine has actually become a lot easier over the last day or so. I guess the compound loosens up over time.
Just got my GS2 today and bought this case at the same time. I wanted something sleek after a Ballistic case on my Infuse and this seemed perfect.
As others have stated it's a tight fit. The sales rep couldn't get it on completely so I had to play with it myself. Another post stated putting bottom and top on first. I had better luck with the sides first. Maybe it is just loosening up after trying 2-3 times to get it on.
The volume and power buttons being covered are going to take getting used to as it takes a good press to work them.
To sum up, love the case so far. Seems to be good quality and good protection.
I tried this case on yesterday and did not like the fit. The ATT store only had one so I am going to try a few more to see if they fit better. It was tight and I couldn't keep the lip over the edges all the way around no matter how hard I tried.

I had to keep pressing in around the sides to get it to fit perfectly. It took an hour or so to settle in.

I'm liking the glossed white one w/kickstand myself. Is the kickstand pretty sturdy? Do you use any charger stands that allow this to slip in fine? Car mount?
Looks like a nice quality case...but 2.4 oz? Seems quite heavy...so had to weigh my boxwave which is .95 oz.
anyway, thanks for posting the info on the otterbox.

I bought the gloss white one; very nice, and the kickstand is sturdy...
I don't have it any sort of dock, since I don't think there is a dock that will hold almost any phone inside its case..If you want to be able to dock your phone, it needs to be case-free..
I Don't use a mount in the car either.

They don't ship to PR so I got it from Otterbox with a coupon and free shipping...
2 x $81
You can buy at shopatewe from $24.99 fs. I found this site through slickdeals priced at 34 but the site shows $24.99 with FS.
Got my Otterbox Commuter today. I finally found a case I'm 100% happy with. I've tried the Seidio w/ Kickstand (silicone was lose and the kickstand felt cheap), the Samsung flip cover (didn't like the lack of protection for sides), a few TPU cases (they were ok), and the Speck Candyshell (like everyone said the back starts to scratch immediately).
The Otterbox is slightly larger than the Speck but not really noticeable. Case fits the phone like a glove. Silicone feels much better than the Seidio. S-pen is easily removable. Case feels much more protective than the TPU cases I tried. Hard plastic makes it easily removable from my pocket without the easily scratch-able plastic the Speck case had. So far I have not found a downside to the case. If you have used a Commuter case in the past you know what you are getting.
In addition for those that were wondering the Commuter comes with 2 screen protectors, 1 for the International version and 1 for the AT&T version. However, I can't comment on quality since my Boxwave Crystal is working fine.
Yep still digging the case! I dont know about you but the case does feel good in the hand
Anyone have any experience with a case from Ventev? I've never even heard of them, but looking at their site it seems they make a lot of products.
Anyways I found this http://www.tessco.com/products/displayProductInfo.do?sku=532148&eventPage=1.
Honestly never heard of them myself. The price looks like it may be on the high end for what it seems to be, but if it's good quality then it'd be worth it. If you get one, post back and let us know how it is. I have a cheap Ebay TPU case on the way for now but I'm keeping my eye out for a good one.

Thanks, I saw that. I've had 2 piece cases on my other phones in the past (incipio, body glove) and I actually prefer the cheap TPU ones best. The cheap TPU ebay/amazon ones (like this: http://tinyurl.com/ct4ktzd) are really low profile, slide in and out of the pocket easily, are flexible yet firm enough to absorb shock from reasonably high drops and only cost like $3. Hopefully someone comes out with one for the OG soon. I might buy one of those ones you linked to in the meantime.

I will be gone all week for work, so you will probably have yours first. Will look for your post.
Ventev Case
The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.
I should mention that I ordered the case from Amzer.com, but it looks identical, and has Ventev printed on the back Polycarbonate cover.

The case arrived and fits the AT&T LG Optimus G E970.
The case consists of 2 parts, a TPU case and a Polycarbonate back cover. The Polycarbonate back cover can be taken off and you can then just use the TPU case.
All buttons remain functional with the case even though the case covers them, and all of the ports and the camera remain functional and accessible.
I have no problem slipping in or taking the phone out of my pocket with the case on.
The case does add significant thickness and heft to the phone, but the case seems solid.

Thanks for the info. Can you, please, check that there are cut outs for both mics (the top and the bottom)? Thanks.

There are cutouts for both the bottom and top mics.
Can you please take some pictures when you have some free time? The only picture online is the one just showing the back.
What about power button notification light?

The quality isn't great, but it should give you an idea.
Let me know if you need something clearer and I'll get out my DSLR.

The notification light gets covered up unfortunately.
Here's some crappy pictures. Only complaint is the tpu rubber part fits really tight. It was hard to get in and lifted up the corner of the screen protected. But took it straight from mailbox and put on phone, so maybe I should have let it warm up.
Thanks for the pictures, folks. I'll probably go ahead and get the Ventev case for now until Otterbox comes out If it does, of course).
So, from what I see, the Amzer and Ventev cases are identical, except for the logo on the back?
Glad to to know the new features of Note 3,and the leather battery cover is much better than the Galaxy traditional plastic cover,yet have no idea what kind of Note 3 case could brings the new mate another fashion elements, post your founding and enjoy here!

I am hoping Spigen rolls out a Slim Armor View for the GN3 like they did for the GS4. They have a Slim Armor so I suspect they will offer a view case later one.
Cool Note 3 Cases
Love the leather body of the Note 3. DSstyles.com already have many cases for note 3. But, do we still need a case as the leather body is so nice?!

We need alternatives. I personally think the leather effect sounds a bit tacky, especially the stitching (is the stitching real, or is that imprinted as with the leather effect)
I don't want a case (my Galaxy Nexus is looking a bit scratched, but not noticeably so), I just want a plain back like the Galaxy Nexus (or even better, the Nexus 10)
A couple of cases have started to appear on Amazon. This one comes in many colors:

I've gotten Diztronic cases for my last few phones and I'm waiting to see their N3 variant.
I ended up getting the below. was about 20USD including shipping to me
I also got the below but I got the 3x value pack for 15-20USD including shipping to me. keeping in mind I live in New Zealand so shipping is always the dearest for me compared to rest of world
I'll be happy when these 2 arrive, and hopefully before my note 3, last time I recieved my note 2 before my screen protector, I ended up having that overally large plastic crap with the flap at the end (that it comes on with) for a week lol...
I've always been a fan of spigen, their screen protectors are perfect, it fits around everything with no gaps, unlike some protectors where they get to the home button then just drop vertically down, which means below the home button is open to elements... same with near the front camera etc, above it is open to elements... on other screen protectors I've noticed.

I have ordered the spigen ultra crystal and hybrid case too. But I'm not going to keep my hopes up since the stated shipping date is going to be late September and arriving date is mid October. I think I might get the phone before them come. That's why I bought a cheap tpu from eBay also hopefully to cover it before the two arrives from spigen.

I'm pretty sure that's a guaranteed, that you will be able to replace the current once for something else.
Will some of the Note II cases fit the Note 3?
Lol..
Let somebody get his hands on a Note 3 first

Cool case. Sorry you missed out on the Spigen screen protector promo on Amazon.com they had a (4) pack for $1 for a few hours and I ordered (2) of them along with a Glas.tR Slim. I figure its always better to have spares on hand.
yeah just missed out, still though, that price is better than their website price xD

Used the VZW shell/kickstand/holster case for my previous two phones (G2 / Note 3) and loved it.
Was waiting...hoping VZW would put one out for the N6 once they started to carry it, and it looks like they have:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/accessories/shell-holster-combo-with-kickstand-for-nexus-6/
Anybody seen one or tried it to verify it actually fits? I for sure want one if it fits.
It fits.
Haven't ordered my Nexus 6 yet, but I'm looking at this one on Amazon for when I do. Looks similar and cheap enough to buy one and try it out.

It will work just fine. But why would you spend $30 on such a cheap case? If you're going to get a cheap case with a kickstand, get it from Amazon. This one looks really solid and comes only in black with a lifetime warranty and is only $8! This other one also comes with a lifetime warranty but comes in 4 different colors and it's $12! If it says that it's for the Nexus 6, it'll work on any Nexus 6, no matter where you buy it. :good:

I think you quoted the wrong person. I'm saying I'm going to try the $8 one first, and I saw the $12 one that you linked as well, and I'd try that one second. All before shelling out $30 from Verizon.

I can tell you from past experience that those cases look just like the shell combo Verizon offers but the quality isn't the same. I had both the Verizon brand and ones from Amazon on my m8 and note 3 the Verizon shell is always better. The ones from Amazon never provide a decent lip(lay on table clearance for screen), and the holster for the Amazon ones always break super easy unlike the one from Verizon. I hate overpaying for cases at carrier stores but in this case (pun intended lol) it is a difference, I've noticed on two of my past phones.
Thanks for the comments and the links!
I get a very good discount on accessories and stuff at Verizon through a "deal" with my employer so it's just a couple dollars more expensive than the Amazon cases.
I have this case and it offers absolutely no protection. I shattered my screen the 1st time it fell (2days) I just ordered a trident aegis for the new one when it gets here.

Sorry to hear - I had the similar Verizon case for both my Droid Incredible and Galaxy S III, but went with more protection for the latter, then decided to go with a dual-layer case/holster combo for the Nexus 6 due to its bulk.
IMHO, less is not more when it comes to Nexus 6 protection.

Actually I was hoping that since Verizon now has the Nexus, Otterbox would build a Defender for us..hell Verizon f#cked up the Xperia Z3 into the Z3v and Otterbox built a Defender for it(even though its plain with no design whatsoever). Now that Verizon has the 6 you'd think they would have enough of a demand for the Defender...I have the Unicorn Beetle case and I miss the full silicone skin that the OB has...oh well, rant over.

if you like the otterbox, check out ballistic tough maxx. use the code Terry30 for free shipping and 30%/$15 discount. ordered the tough jacket maxx a little while ago was $49.99 cost $34.99 shipped with the code. the case is great, had it fall out of my jeep with 6 inches of lift onto the pavement and survived without a single scratch. far better than the otterbox i had on my last phone
Ordered this CellJoy case in "red": http://www.amazon.com/CellJoy-X-Hatch-Motorola-Holster-Kickstand-/dp/B00SXF5O3W/
But when it arrived it was not even close to the vibrant red color as in the photo on Amazon. It was a dark maroon color, same as Texas A&M colors. Not bad if you are an Aggie fan, but not good if you are LSU.
My main issue is with the kickstand. The Kickstand is offset too far to the side for the large N6 so that it is very unstable when propped up in landscape. The kickstand on the CellJoy was also cumbersome to deploy and not as smooth as when I had the Verizon variant on my previous phone.
My Verizon version case/holster is tough to remove from the holster. Any tips to getting it out easier? Does it loosen a bit over time?
