Since we are stuck waiting for Spigen to say yes or no and then waiting some more for them to actually make the Slim Armor View and then ship it (could be 1-2 months if ever) I went on and found another case that will do pretty much the same thing and do it quite well plus the added metal kickstand isn't a bad addition. I bring you the
Seidio LEDGER™ View with Metal Kickstand you can get it in Grey/Grey or Red/Grey and it will be shipping in a couple of weeks. Amazon.com also has it listed as shipping in 1-3 weeks http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-LEDGER...80763126&sr=8-3&keywords=Seidio+LEDGER+Note+3 and the Red/Grey combo ships in 2-3 weeks http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FFD611Y...TF8&colid=19FEXKB01KSRQ&coliid=I19D08TX7EL1G0
So I think its worth looking at, checking out and I am ordering mine asap since I can't wait any longer.

I'm still waiting for a battery cover only with kick stand. everything so far seems to be a full on case/bulky as thing..
I think this is the case I'm going to get as well. I just hope it offers some level of protection if you drop it. It's between this and their active case. I do like that armor case, hope they make it.

The big thing for me with this case would be the ability to stay closed. If it includes magnets that keep the cover closed, as well as having full sview functionality as well as a kickstand, I will be buying this case.

The lack of holsters is disappointing but we can't have it all still a great case with magnetic closure and a big S-View window.

This case looks awesome, was really hoping for the slim armor view but spigen doesn't seem interested in making them. Hopefully Seidio provides a release date soon.
Has anyone asked them if the S View function works like the Samsung original?
I have no doubts it will. Seidio has always been one of the better company's IMHO. side note, I picked up Samsung s view for my girl, offers no real protection. Disappointed for spending $60.

I can't speak from experience, but I'm currently rocking the platinum case (best buy version of seidio surface) and I don't see how the holster would not also work for the ledger. I could be wrong but I just don't see it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
This is the case I am thinking about but am going to see the reports on full s-vie compatability and protection. but if it has good feedback it definitely has all I look for in a phablet case.
With the Slim Armor View up in the air, I might get this as soon as it becomes available. I hope it's sooner rather than later

YES, it can! My girl dropped it many times - nothing happened!
What do you think - will the S Charger Kit work, when the Note is in its Seidio Case ACTIVE® with Metal Kickstand? BTW - The Thickness of The Charger Kit is 2 mm larger, maybe it fits the case.
What is with the other functions as NFC, Beam - will this work with this case? A magnet and metal could maybe disturb some features.
If the Ledger have all the function of S View cover ... it's a MUST HAVE !
The kickstand is very important for me but only 2 dreams are missing : first not holster, i need to have a belt clip and second, the kickstand is only in landscape without portrait mode.
and still no cut out for the notification led. Sview needs a dock mode feature then I could live without notifications

I was just going by the picture but if it does then i'm definitely giving it a shot. I can't tell by the pics but i want an sview case that doesnt replace the back cover. at night i dock my phone and use it as a clock and it would be nice if i could easily remove my phone from the case and dock it.
So since this cover is dead now... any other replacements i.e. a slim cover with a window and a kickstand?

Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

Happy enough with it for now.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.
Anyone has a good belt clip style holster or leather case that fits the note with a slim TPU case on? I can't find one that will fit.

Bought this one for my new note. Really love it. Esp the clip, very very tight wont loosen up like my one I had for my Streak 5 was so loose it would wobble on my belt.
Also like how this has a 1" strap on the top with magnet snap.
Side note.. everyone talks about how big the note is, my streak 5 was larger with a smaller screen and heavier. But that could be because of the all metal frame which I do admit i miss.
Found a deal for 2 oem batteries and a wall charger. http://www.ebay.com/itm/16073975077...NX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_554wt_1127

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..

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
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.
¢ 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...

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.

I would encourage you to make it known via email to them, and get a refund on the difference, clearly someone is messing it up and its going to cost them sales.

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.

Thanks for the info. I will likely give the Ledger a shot when it releases
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

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

Seidio should have the Surface and holser friday . Have a couple hybrid Spigens now but I need my surface case and holster. I just don't want to pay the initial price. They will be half price in 6 months.

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.
Has anyone seen a case for the note 3 that is like a hardcover book? If anyone has seen the ones made by portenzo and/or dodocase you know what i'm talking about.

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.

Same. I found some from ARAREE (see the 1st pic)
Then there are a few others from ebay.
2nd pic >> seller: shop-leather
3rd pic (and way hilarious imo) >> seller: casemate_168
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
hardcover case
There other one is made of faux leahter for outer cover and hardcover for interior
leather case
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.
Good looking, impractical, unusable case

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.
