Hey everyone,
Just wondering, if you live somewhere in Canada, preferably Toronto, and you got a case, where you got that from!
I currently have two kinds I got from Pacific Mall, a TPU case and a typical TPU + Hard plastic case. I like hard rugged cases, but post down below if you have another type, maybe someone down below wants to buy that in Canada too
So....If you got a case for your phone in Canada, leave a comment below, with the rough area of where it is, and the store name/carrier store name! Also best if you have a picture you can take of it
Thanks,
Nicholas
We're there many cases being sold in Pacific mall?

There were five types:
1) TPU (there was a Mercury branded one)
2) TPU + Hard plastic (Cannot fit the USB 3.0 cable to charge...have to take it out of the case)
3) Flip Cover (with quick view?)
4) Flip Cover with a huge rectangular opening to access the screen
5) Snap-on Back Cover
no accessories yet.
I live in Vancouver BC are and I haven't found any accessories for note 3 yet.
been to samsung store, BB, all carrier stores etc..
I don't like carrying phones naked, looks like some cases are in stock in the east.
really hope we get some of those in stock
Just picked up a $5 TPU case from pacific mall until I find something better

Bought a simple case from Mobilinc in Bramalee City centre ...nothing special, but should hold me out till I find something better.

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

Wanted to post a quick review here on this case that I got off Amazon for $10, URL below:
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...17-Packaging/dp/B007BH6X8I/ref=cm_cr-mr-title
Great case, it fits great, all of the ports are wide open and no problems getting the S-Pen, plugging in USB, microphone holes are clear, no problem with the headphone jack. Great case, I wish it had a little more grip on the sides and it'd be 6 stars. The buttons are entirely open, which makes them very easy to push yet would never activate in a pocket. Great case at any price, it's a steal at what it costs.
The back of it is a really soft feeling surface, almost like the 'rubber painted' phones that used to be common, and the sides around the screen are more of a glossy harder finish, but it's all one solid case, not molded etc, just finished differently.
I've used it for 3-4 days and have zero complaints, only wish it was a little more grippy on the sides. The piece of crap BoxWave case I had, the sides were really grippy, but the rest was terrible...
Got this case and its great. Better than the couple of others I tried (both purchased from the Bell store in Canada).

Yep, I wound up with four Note cases over a month period trying some things, and this is the one I use.
Have the AT&T Speck case. TOO SLIPPERY, and impossible to remove. Cheap $2 TPU, worth at least $1.50 . Boxwave Colorsplash, ****ty button actuation.
I too have this case in black (any other colors available?)
Been fantastic.

How long did it take for shipping to Canada? I'm glad I found this thread since all you are having positive experience... I didn't know buying a simple case was this hard.
OK. I'm trying to order this case from Canada. I went through Amazon.com registration but the system says the item can't be shipped to selected destination.
I went to Amazon.ca to search for this case but no success.
Any suggestion how I can get this case? Please help I'm a complete noob with amazon and ebay thingy.
im thinking of getting this case for my phone. anyone have any pics of it on a white note?
Please share with everyone

eBay has a great selection and variety. I got the i9100 tpu case for a $1.30. The only difference is the top mic hole is in a different spot, which is easy to fix. There is also a small extra hole for the strap, but the i777 doesn't have this. It shipped from Hong Kong and takes around two weeks, but its really cheap. There are also plenty of other cases that you can choose from, just browse eBay.

Hit the various AT&T Corp Stores in your towns. All the cases they have/had for the i777 are on their clearance rack for $5 each. I've picked up 4 cases in 2 different cities for $5/each. CaseMate/Ballistic, all the good aftermarket brands that AT&T sold for $30 when the phone 1st came out. Again, this is for corporate owned AT&T stores. Have no idea about the authorized retailers.
Im using the tpu s line on both this guy and my nokia. Nice and simple, cheap, and primarily not bulky like other stuff out there.
i love my case and its cheap. doent get stuck in your pocket or collect lint. covers the whole housing. very nice tight fit. has an ok design on it. had it for awhile now and its held up great. doesnt make the phone bulky at all either. the case is just right and i love it. was worth the money for sure. i had the cheap 3 dollar silicone case from ebay and that thing sucked so bad i hated it lol. i highly recommend this case to anybody looking for one on the cheap but fits the phone nice and does wut its suppose to

This one is awesome. I have about 5 or 6 cases but I always keep coming back to this one. It's think(er) than others and fits nicely and tight. Bad thing is it covers the noise-cancelling mic at the top.
The s one by cbus on amazon. I have one for mine and my friend got one for his note. Very durable and doesn't stick in pocket

Not $10 but a good deal!
I had a white Case-Mate POP Case for about 7 months but after some drops i wanted to replace it. I purchased the first one from a AT&T store for $35 the day I got my phone and didn't care about price just wanted a case to protect my phone. I recntly purchased this black one from there site for under $20 it was $19 and some change, and I ordered the phone thursday morning and recieved if from Fedex friday afternoon and that was with free shipping. So I know it's not $10, but this is a great case from a good manufacturer. My favorite thing about the case is the stand and the volume and power buttons have great feedback.

I bought this case from Ebay as well. I found the power and volume buttons difficult to push and when trying to get the volume to go up or down was difficult as it seemed to want go both directions when pressing it.
I use the AGF Magnate case. Can be found at all4cellular for $8.
I'm a sucker for new tech and the video of Tech21's "non newtonian" D3O substance was like tech porn. I was wondering if anyone has any insights on Tech21? especially for the Gnote3 since that is the case I'll be buying it for once they actually start selling it. I'm not 100% sure if the GN3 model is being sold yet so I'd settle for any review of their products.
Other than the relatively high price the only other complaint I've seen of their cases was the hard buttons. The GN3 case looks like the buttons are cut out (tho it's hard to tell with their low res pics). Any other complaints? Praise?
Thanks
Agreed best case in terms of protection and size, i have one for my s4 and love it. I noticed they have it listed on their site but i cant seem to find it for purchase.

Their case is fine, but their customer service is very bad. I bought one for their iPhone 5 Case, it has scratch right after I opened the box. I call their customer service to try to exchange it, they refuse to do so.
My local t-mobile store in Folsom, CA has tech21 cases for the gnote3. I would imagine other tmo stores have them too.

RoloRacer on Note3 N900A
My tmobile had 2 different tech21 cases. One black and one blue
Tmobile is non exist any where I am in Nebraska. I want the clear one in my life so bad. I can't find a retailer or even find the case in two's page.
Yea T-Mobile is now big on Tech 21 cases, they have a few color choices at every store I've been in. I actually bought one on the first day with the phone and only returned it because I had ordered 3 others online for half its price in total. Still it was cool when the manager of the store demonstrated this impact case by throwing the Note 3 half way across the store to demonstrate why it costs 40 dollars.
I picked one up when I bought my Note 3 until I found a proper case. I used one like this on my Amaze, and after 2 years it was almost flawless. It definitely protects well and I'm even totally confident to leave it laying around the kids. Its like a tank. I will be replacing it with the Neo Hybrid (if it ever arrives) because I want something that will show off the sharp sides of the Note 3. If these guys made something like that they would be my number one for protection.

Sprint is selling Tech21 as well.
Awesome. Thanks. I'll have to check em out after my rotation tomorrow.
Now many T-Mobile corp stores in NYC are selling several varieties of Tech21 cases.
Original smoky grey (the one I have).
Smoky blue
Clear pink
Black "book" style
My choice was pretty limited when I bought N3 two weeks ago, but it turns out this is so far the best I chose.
I am not that big on "remove twice, install twice" in Incipio.
I am not interested the one with "window".
I just want Body Glove Diamond type which I used with Note 2.

That's the other thing I'm not too thrilled about. The buttons need some force to engage, sometimes more than one try.

Hi guys
This is my review of the Tridea Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Italian Card Pocket Standing Case in black.
I don't normally review stuff, but I have been looking for weeks for a decent case, and found one, so I thought I would share my findings with you.
The case cost me £20 from here:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221294957362
Which I thought was a pretty good price. It is a flip case, it does not replace the back of the phone like the standard Samsung Flip case. The fit is nice and snug, and doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. It is made of faux leather and the inside is a nice soft suade like fabric. There is a slot for 1 credit card.
It closes fully, and doesn't flap upwards. The build quality is very good. The cut outs for the various holes is top notch. It allows the phone to stand either vertically like a book or horizontally via the stand functionality.
Overall I am very happy with the case and would recommend it fully.
Wish list:
I wish it has is the ability to wake the phone when you open the flip!
Second, I would pay extra for some proper soft leather, that would be the icing on the cake!!
Some pictures:
I got an almost identical case in real leather from a hong kong ebay seller and I absolutely love the thing.
