There was placeholder on their website last week but it was poofed. I'm hoping something is announced next week. I'm too clumsy to wory about cute :fingers-crossed:
My point exactly it looks legit and if that is the design I hope and pray that it is like that to keep dust from under screen like the note 2 case was horrible for doing. I just bought two note 3 phones as well as I still have two note 2 phones.

Got this in response from Otterbox today
Dear Matthew,
Our Otter Engineers are currently working on a case for that Note 3 device. We do not have an expected launch date at this time, but we recommend following us on your favorite social network to hear the latest OtterBox news and product updates. Thank you for your patience as we work to perfect our next, top quality product.

Thank you sir I think it is quite ridiculous how for our preferred choice of device maker is rather pushed to the side but then again Samsung isn't like apple being that they make devices differently from each model. Instead of waiting half a decade

Found the PERFECT Belt Holder NOTE3
After checking out all the stores.... I could not find a vertical Belt Holder for the NOTE3...until, I found a professional seamstress. She made this modification from a store bought holder! PERFECT Fit with just about a 1/4" sticking out so I can quick grab it for calls! Let me know if you might be interested in one! I can send your her store name...Michael ($48.00 case & Shipping)
I'm looking for a flip cover that is similar to the note 2 without the S View.

you're right, a pouch. they still make some great looking stuff
I asked Trim Leather about a case way back in early September, I had specifically asked him about a one off wallet case and he said they would be offering products for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 and possibly others.
I got an updated email from him a couple of days ago. They ran into a structural design issue they are working out. The S-Pen slot has caused the delay so he was expecting something to be available for us to see later this month, hopefully sooner.
Any news?:fingers-crossed:
This is a fantastic looking case. I would be in the market for this if/when it goes live

Why do they need an S-pen slot for a pouch style case ... don't you have to remove the phone from pouch to use it anyway?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
they look great except for the large hand threads.. that looks terrible.
I would totally buy one if they just machine stitched them with much finer thread.
But its what YOU the consumer likes
If you look the pouch is the note 1 the note 3 is in a snap on case
Im getting one for sure!

It's a case, the people posting saying its a pouch posted in early October - before they released the image of the case.
Suspect that will be a fairly heavy case.

I like that they have the pictures as well. It gives you an idea as to what you may want to go with. I am interested in the Ballistic case and may get it but right now I'm rocking the Seidio surface holster deal and it's working but i haven't dropped it yet.

to answer your questions as best I can from MY EXPERIENCE.( on note 2 )
The protection factor is top notch.. however, bulk is detracting from phone styling- the volume and power buttons require much more pressure to activate them. also, the built in plastic screen shield which is built into the front outer shell, is rather ugly- floats above the phone, rainbow effects usuaally- humidity gathers below it and actual screen. and holsster is susceptible to breakage when exiting, entering your vehicle. ( happened twice to me..otterbox warranteed both times.
all outlets and ports are covered by a durable flap door, and once opened, access is easy. so my review- from 1 to 10, 10 being best is 9.. penaly for tough buttons and rather blandness/bulkiness of case size.. something like commuter might be less bulky- with less protection..thats where my curiosity of other cases comes in..( ie trident aegis, uag, seidio etc.): but- if you go with otter defender, the plastic screen can be removed ( voids warranty though) and you can use a spg type protector to avoid the ranbows, humidity buildup. I just traded up to the Note 3 myself- so decided on Trident Krakken ( returned UAG Case) Removal and install is a Major Headache.
I have the note 2 as well as the otterbox on it lol

Picked my Defender up today. Overall it looks really good. Unlike my Note 2 Defender case, the note 3 defender doesn't seem to be as bulky.
Getting the inner shell on was tight. Damn tight, but it went on.
I run defenders on all my phones. This is the best one as far as form and fashion that I've owned.
The Best Buy website showed that one of my 2 local Best Buy stores (within 1 mile from each other, but one is a Best Buy Mobile in the mall) had the Commuter in stock earlier today. I drove up there to check it out, but they didn't have any. I checked their site again while in store and it didn't show either store having it any more. I didn't plan to buy it anyway, just wanted to check it out and see how it looked and fit. Their site also showed them having the Qi compatible battery door. Even though their site DID still show it being available while I was there, they couldn't find it even though their system also showed them having 2 in stock. About an hour after getting home, and 2 hours after they had closed, an employee who I left my name & number with texted me saying that she did find the Qi battery door and was going to hold it for me!

I could not imagine it being bulkier than the Note 2 Defender. That thing's a brick!
Otterbox should come out with an Armor Series for the Note 3! If someone tries to jack you for your phone you could swing it around and clobber them in the kisser. That thing would be a weapon!
I'd buy one because it would be the equivalent of a toughbook but in a phone...

Does anyone know if a Tempered glass screen protector can be used with the defender?
What's up guys, some people have been asking for Otterbox reviews so I thought I'd put up a couple pictures of my Commuter I got last week. It's the best case I've had for my Note so far and with the tempered screen protector the protection can't be beat in my opinion. The S-pen cutout is great and makes for easy removal. All ports are accounted for including IR and all microphones. The fit in my opinion is great and doesn't add much bulk for the level of protection you get.
I am very happy with my purchase but if I had to list some cons, I'd say:
- weird back texture makes hand sweaty. Really weird
- not the most stylish case out there
- expensive ~44.99
Thanks for reading I look forward to your feedback and questions

Yup, I see you're using XDA Premium as well. *This is off-topic to your thread, so I'll go ahead and apologize for that before I even begin.* For some reason it only allows one pic per post....and that's WHEN it's letting you post pics at all! When trying to attach pics, I constantly get the error that I'm not logged in, or that I don't have permission. It's VERY frustrating! Both XDA Premium, and XDA Premium HD have been doing this for at least 3-4 months now. I bought both a while back, so I've tried with both apps on multiple devices(phones and tablets). I really wish the devs would fix this issue. I've already reported it to them multiple times, but I think more people need to complain to get the devs to look in to it or actually do anything about it.

I've just received an Otterbox Commuter and I like it a lot. One question though - are the flaps for the charging and headphone ports supposed to sit slightly proud of the case? It makes sense I suppose, otherwise they'd be rather difficult to open but it does look a bit odd.

Still waiting and will not forget to post pics and probably do a video unboxing for this but it supposedly takes 25 to 60 days to arrive and the next one I will purchase will be the Slim armor with s-view which its relatively cheap. If anyone has pics that can post it would be greatly appreciated and will also start making unboxing of other ckver sthat I get from the site.

I have a real one (amazon) as well as a replica (aliexpress). The hole for the S-pen is too small on the replica unless your friends call you captain hook and you have trouble getting through security at airports. Waste of money as it cannot be easily modified to work better.

Here are the pics after almost 20 days waiting. It is of decent quality but the openings are not accurat. For instance the spen is really hard and I mean almost impossible to take out and the charger opening can be bigger but it worls just fine other than that for the price of less than 5 bucksi would buy another one in a heart beat.

I got mine today....
I ordered one from aliexpress. I received my case in 15 days, not bad at all. As for the quality of the case, I really can't complain, it says spigen neo hybrid, nothing like spagen or ned hibrid. The access to the ports work ok, the S-pen is a little harder to get but not impossible. The buttons feel a little shaky but not bad.
For 6.35 usd and free shipping I can't find for now anything wrong. I am sure there are great differences with the real one, but I don't have one to compare. You get what you paid for.
I got my case from this aliexpress seller:

Oh I forgot, the seller provided a tracking number, that is not usual for an order with low value. So it's another plus for them.

I'm assuming, since that was their one and only post, that they do NOT have both cases! Heck, they probably don't even have one of them, real or fake. People normally don't bother to join a site just to make 1 short post. If they felt so strongly about the topic that they did go through the trouble of joining a site just to post, then you can be assured that they would reply when quoted and asked for more info on that topic!
Anyway, that out of the way. I appreciate your posts, pics, and info. It doesn't look bad at all, I was honestly expecting much worse! Unless someone has an authentic Spigen case in that same model, then they won't know the difference. I have an authentic Spigen Bounce case, but I wouldn't have known that yours was a knock-off had you not stated it.

Thanks, I have tried original spigen case for my S3 and I think they are overpriced. Specially for the newer model phone like our S3. I will buy the knock off instead. Thank you.
One question though, they do not accept paypal, and I am weary of giving out my credit card number. Did you use CC or bank transfer?
===========
Edit:
I couldn't resist the temptation so I ordered 2 cases. Slim Armor and Neo Hybrid both for $13 delivered. We'll see when they get here next month.
I've seen some killer deals on that site, but always wondered about the sketch-factor, so have never placed an order. However, after getting a feel for what they're all about through this thread, I'm feeling some temptation to grab one of these S-View cases: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...-N9000-Elegant-Stylish-Design/1347667183.html
Anyone have one? Thoughts?
Regarding the problem with the S-pen hole in the Neo Hybrid knock-off, I'd probably just grab a drill with any medium sized bit, then run the drill and use the side of the bit to "sand" around the edges to widen and align the hole. Seems like that would work on plastic, unless I'm missing something?
