I've been a Diztronic case lover for quite a while now. They're so minimalistic and yet so protective. I've had one for my VZN Galaxy Nexus, Droid DNA, S4, and now my Note 3 just came in the mail today. It doesn't look like much but these cases have saved my phones from several drops including drops hitting the corner. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone that wants good protection without adding a ton of bulk.
*Fair warning* - these cases do not come with screen protectors. I haven't ever used a screen protector on my phone without a scratch (plus completely unnecessary with Gorilla Glass 3).
Second pic is new case side by side with my S4 case. Now I just need my phone to fill it... ... ....
EDIT: Oops, for got to put Amazon purchase link
So the Note 3 does have Gorilla Glass 3 then? and you don't use screen protectors?

Yes, the Note 3 has Gorilla Glass 3. No, I don't use screen protectors. Completely useless to me. I bought my S4 on launch day, May 23rd. As you can see, even in this borrowed iCrap 5 photo, there isn't a single scratch. Also you see how snug the Diztronic case is around my S4.

My Diztronic case came yesterday. I too am a big Diztronic fan. I tried multiple TPU cases for my GNex, and always came back to the Diztronic. I do have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case also on order, but won't be too unhappy if it doesn't work out since I know I'll like the Diztronic. Now I'm wondering if the N3 with Dizronic/Neo Hybrid will fit any of the pouch/holsters I've ordered!

I have used a Diztronic TPU case on my S3 since summer 2012 and it has been fantastic. High quality TPU cases for a low price. I am probably going to get a Neo Hybrid case for the Note 3 just to change it up a bit. Might end up picking up a diztronic as well, we will see!

Is Gorilla Glass 3 more scratch resistant than previous versions?
And thanks OP for the review on the case. I had it in my Amazon wish list so I just moved it to my cart and checked out

Ouch sorry to hear that. I definitely keep my keys and phone in different pockets or ensure that my keys are always on the back side of the phone if they HAVE to be in the same pocket (not the case 99% of the time).

Yes, the 3rd generation of Gorilla Glass is the most resistant so far. They keep improving at every step.
You're welcome and congratulations on your purchase!!! You'll enjoy the enhanced grip with the added protection!

I've never had an issue pressing the buttons. In fact, the case sometimes makes it easier. The case is thinner where the buttons are, but add a little more thickness. You get a good press every time. I just took my S4 case off and snapped a pic of the thinner spot where the volume buttons are.
I'm not going to tell you not to buy the SPIGEN case either. Apparently a lot of people like it from the Note 2 and other devices and has a good reputation.
I'm just going by what I know. The Diztronic cases are very good for a minimalistic experience with good drop protection. They are no Otterbox though, not even close.
EDIT: Silly me...forgot the pic
I am ordering one of these for my Note 3 tonight. I have been using one on my S2 for almost 2 years and love it, I drop my phone a lot and it looks new.

Just got my black diztronic case today. I have used them on my EVO 3D and EVO 4G LTE. Great light duty case. I'm just not the type that wants the phone to get too bulky but I don't want to run it naked so these work great!
I just purchased one hope I'll like it lol

I love the matte finish. The port cutouts are very accurate and the case fits nice and tight. It's definitely a keeper especially for the low price of $10. My only wish is that the "lip" of the case was also matte instead of shiny/polished.

Well don't know if this helps but my last experience with seido surface for the GS4 was pretty bad after a month use the rubberized paint on it started wearing off and Seido refused to do anything about it. I used to always get their holsters for my HTC phones and had no issues. 1st case I had an issue with they refused to do anything about it and I paid $50 direct from seido also. I would not buy another seido product. But that's just me. The price is nice though I just would not expect it to last more than a month without the finish pealing off.
I read here that it wouldn't work with a TG unless it was a really thin TG. Not sure if true or not.
I was the user that had the issue. I do not recommend it. I had the SPIGEN GLAS.tr. It pushed the screen protector down almost making a cracking sound, to which i saw air bubbles form. The bubbles went away after I put it on with a decent amount of force. This stupid case is not meant to work with a good screen protector because it hugs the phone too tight. I guess that was the purpose of their design. The biggest issue was taking it off. People without screen protectors on Amazon complain about how hard it is to take off without a screen protector. Now, with one, it's IMPOSSIBLE. I cannot explain to you enough how IMPOSSIBLE it is (NOTE: I'm a strong enough guy 180 lbs 6 feet tall athletic build. I open and lift things easily without issue when it comes to impossible soda bottles or things that get stuck in the house). I ruined my silver bezel edge with a tiny scuff due to this stupid case as I tried for 30 minutes to get it off. It just would not come off. So I was like screw it. I ended up just pulling the area where both pieces connect and yanking it to the side while digging (damaging my nail) to have them disconnect and send the bottom piece flying. Luckily, there was no damage to the case so I was able to get my money back and full refund on Amazon. However, the silver plastic top bezel had a tiny scuff, which really annoyed me because I'm OCD like that and keep my phones and other tech flawless with protective cases/screen protectors; I keep my items in NEW/MINT condition if I ever want to sell something. Also, I don't mind buying the casing to replace the bezel, which I did for my Note 2 when it fell on concrete with a case that did not protect the top or bottom (like SPIGEN Ultra-fit). However, with the Note 3, they have the Silver Plastic glued to the screen LCD portion instead of the backside like the Note 2. So that means instead of 15 bucks you have to spend $200+ to replace it. NOT WORTH IT.
This was just way too difficult. Save yourself the trouble if you really want to protect your phone and your screen. You're better off with a UAG or something similar. I use the SPIGEN Bounce and it works very well with the GLAS.tr.
@opasha Do you have the holster for the Surface case, and do you have any other cases? I'm curious how well other cases fit in both the Surface holster and Dilex holster. Can't decide if I'm gonna buy one of those holsters, or the holster for the naked phone.

Sorry bro, I never really use holsters. My dad does. He has a UAG case for his S3 and the DILEX and SURFACE were too small. However, the CONVERT holster fit perfect for him. I have a BOUNCE case and I'm sure the DILEX holster would work for that. I'm pretty sure for anything to fit in a SURFACE holster, you would need to have a very bare minimum case like SPIGEN ULTRA-FIT or something along those lines...if that.

That's cool, I appreciate it anyway! I thought I'd read before that the Bounce case fit in the Surface holster, but want to be sure before I make the purchase. I would imagine it will, as the Bounce and Surface cases are pretty similar in size. I'm afraid that the Dilex holster will be too big, and not hold the Bounce(or a similar sized TPU case) very tight.

Yeah, I feel you. The Bounce does feel very similar if not a little thinner than the Surface. It actually might fit.
Got my Surface today! I love it. It's exactly what I hoped. The only problem, which is a big one by the way, it's not compatible with my 9H Iloome. The protector started to bubble on one of the corners. It was so tight that I wasn't sure that I could get it on and it also wouldn't snap closed. If you take the battery cover off, it fits just fine. But I'm not sure that I want to use it like that. I may buy a thinner TG screen protector, like the iloome flex, but I'd hate to throw away the $25 that I spent on the 9H.
I use the S-Pen a lot, mostly for sketches or quick notes. I have gone through a bunch of screen protectors that either leave scratch marks or create a lot of friction, like rubber on rubber. I really don't want to use one of those thick glass screen protectors since the one I bought literally shattered within a month lol. Instead of wasting 100+ bucks trying to find the right screen protector it would be awesome if someone could recommend one that they have personally used and works great with the S-Pen.
Instead of replacing your screen protector again, have you changed your spen tip? Try the plastic ones that came with it instead of the rubber ones.

I had a transparent TPU case on it, but like you said because they are so thick there isn't much of a lip. They are more apt to getting hit. I was thinking of maybe getting those cheap tempered glass protectors from eBay since there isnt that big of a difference in quality, they are only like 8 bucks so i can probably buy 5-6 in bulk.

Zagg. I don't use anything else. Feels nice with the pen. Good warranty too - Samsung had to replace one of my Note 3s, so they took the Zagg off and stuck it on a piece of paper. It's costing me a little over $3 (shipping & handling, I guess) for a new screen protector. Zagg didn't do anything wrong, the protector's still fine. But they're replacing it.

If you're looking for a transparent case then look into Spigen Ultra Hybrid or Ringke Fusion.
Ringke Fusion is not shipping until next week though. I'm using the Ultra Hybrid, I like the colors and its a nice case. Although I think I'd like the buttons to be separated so it'd be easier to see which key is what.
I have decided on the spigen slim armor in gunmetal. Sadly I dont have my nexus 6 yet but the case looks and feels awesome. I just fear that the vertical stand will break after a while but thats just a guess...
Ringke by far is my favorite just because the buttons are made a little better then the spigen.
I have been quite happy with the spigen slim armor. Mine has none of the QC issues the Amazon reviews have mentioned. My kickstand has never fallen out and I don't know how it ever could with the phone in the case. I think most of the overly negative reviews on the kickstand were from people who reviewed it before they even had the phone. The phone fits perfectly and is easy to get out. The one issue I do have with it is the flat buttons. It is virtually impossible to know which button you are about to press without looking which is kind of annoying. If they modify that I will buy a new one. I'd be happy if the Slim Armor had the button of the neo hybrid.
I used one of those slim Ringke cases on my nexus 5 and it scratched the corners of my phone when I removed it so I'll never use that brand again. I know this phone is different so maybe that's no longer an issue but once is enough for me.
Edit - I see you said you want a transparent case. That means my comments can be disregarded, lol...

Agreed and the buttons on the N6 are separated which prevents miss taps, its still not available for sale yet though. Using the Ultra Hybrid for the time being. Not sure how I feel about the caps on the N6 ports for the Fusion, they didnt use to have them.
Ringke for cases definitely. I have both for the N5 and for the N4 and Ringke does feel slimmer and very well made.
Spigen for Screen Protectors.
I ordered the Ringke Fusion Crystal
Pics of Spigen Ultra Hybrid with Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector
I'm sure by now you've already obtained your case, though I thought I'd post some pictures of the Spigen (Crystal Clear) Ultra Hybrid along with a Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector.
As you can see, it shows off the device, but still achieves maximum protection. The Case is a hard shell on the back, and soft rubber along the sides. Both are clear.
I haven't had any issues with the buttons on the case. If anything, the button placement on the actual phone will take some getting used to, though they are situated halfway down for a reason.
Enjoy!
P.S. These pics were taken from my iPhone 5S. Unfortunately.....

I am using this case right now and really enjoy it. No issues with QI, NFC and it offers great protection for the minimalistic design. Case is very sturdy and fits like a glove. The only small gripe I have with it is the buttons. While they are very tactile it is very difficult to distinguish power from volume. Other than that its great.
I did order the ringke fusion, which is the basically the same case. The biggest differences between the spigden and the ringke I saw were plugs where the cutouts are, it comes with a screen protector AND the power button and volume rocker are much more pronounced (easier to distinguish) in my opinion. Both cases are great and if your curious about the other, here's a link.

They are flush, and built into the soft rubber material. I know many people are having issues with the button placement, but it hasn't been a problem for me. It's quite simple really, top is power, bottom is volume down, that leaves the middle for.... You guessed it! Haha

Haha, thanks. I've been an Android user since the G1. The iPhone is for work. FIgured since ALLLL of my personal devices have been Android, might as well try somethign different.
To be honest, I barely even touch my iPhone other than for responding to e-mails on the go, and emergency work calls. It was cool and interesting for about 2 days, though I will probably upgrade to the iPhone 6S plus when it becomes available (for work of course).
Spigen Perfect/Thin Fit VS Ringke SLIM
I have both the Spigen Perfect/Thin Fit and the Ringke SLIM cases in black. I started with the Spigen but didn't like the way the Motorola logo was the centerpiece of the back of the phone and also the case kept 'unclicking' out of position on the phone when it was in my pocket (so far in only 3 days this has happened around 5 times)... so I looked for an alternative and found the Ringke SLIM. I have to say I much prefer the Ringke, it's simple, it has very subtle branding (no cutcouts for motorola logo on the back either) and the cutouts for the inputs are nicer. It also has cut outs at the stress points that make it a bit more durable (less chance of the plastic breaking or the case stressing in general). Also, so far the Ringke has been rock solid and hasn't moved an inch on my Nexus 6. The only thing I miss from the Spigen is the soft touch black coating... but considering the other issues I had, this is perfectly acceptable.
I got the spigen neo hybrid, it's OK but makes the phone feel bulky and makes the screen bezel look huge. Also the buttons could be better designed, the nexus 6 has a smaller textured button and a longer volume button, spigen went for 3 buttons all the same size with no texture and in my coat pocket it's hard to get the right button to change volume when listening to music.

Has any users here used or have this case for their nexus 6? I already paid for it and it will be here tomorrow using amazing 1 day shipping. Curious what others think.
I have it. Bought it and the ringke fusion same time. I like both, and quality seems to be identical. That being said I find I use the ringke more as it has the accent depression on the back that feels good in hand, as well as the protruding buttons are easier to distinguish.
The upside if the spigen however, is that it seems to have less of a rainbow effect on the back at certain angles.
I have this case, I love it because of the clear back, really shows off the beauty of the Nexus 6. However, as mentioned by the other poster, this case makes it very hard to distinguish the power and volume buttons. The buttons on my case also weren't very tactile, I always find myself hitting the wrong one. But, I still thoroughly enjoy this case, it protects the Nexus 6 very well.

Thanks. I am putting a dbrand skin on it...blue one actually. So excited about this. Thanks I always used Spigen for all my devices. Just figured I ask. Is this a slip on type one or is it clip like the metal ones? I didnt really find anything about how it gets put on.
I just push the bottom of the phone in and snap it down in. The border is tpu, so it has some flex while offering some drop protection.
I use a black carbon fiber slickwrap on my n6, and it really does emphasize the beauty of this beast.

I checked via web for a review of this (video) is there one?
I know there is one comparing the 2 cases I have, I ordered both right after watching it. I'm at work right now so I can't really track down the link.

thats ok i already bought it. The last thing I am wonder is do u have a screen protector on it with this case or the glass screen protectors? will they work with this case?
The glass do yes, but I got rid of mine because I hate the halo. I'm using the plastic one that came with my ringke.
Nice case ..
