Gotta say this is the best TPU case I've ever used. Even better than Diztronic IMO. When Diztronic releases theirs in a few days I may pick one of those up as well, just for comparisons sake.

Getting mine later today can't wait
Received mine today and it's a really nice case. It's not quite as snug as the Tudia Melody case (which is pretty nice for the price) so I suspect that one of the thicker screen protectors would like fit nicely and make the case a bit tighter.
The Bounce has a really nice feel to it, although it's quite a bit more slick than the Melody. The Melody has a more supple texture to it around the edges, making it a bit easier to grip.
As far as looks, the Bounce easily beats the Melody. It has very sleek, modern look to it.

just got mine also, Ordered on the Oct 20 from main company website (to Canada paid premium shipping to guarantee no custom charges). I got combo with glas t slim (not r) and all seems well. I was under the impression that the glas had individual cutouts for sensors and camera but it is a single opening for ear speaker and sensors. No opening for camera. I think I just got confused. Grey bounce with orange button. I really found the phone just way too slim and the beveled edges of the bounce help to fix that. Still I think a monster battery is in my future. Overall nice purchase and better/easier to grab and go. Just put the glas and protector on so haven't used it yet, but just the front lip makes it much nicer to handle. Love the side buttons.
Just got my bounce case, feel very solid and the side buttons are very smartly designed. Highly recommend, they should produce more colors to choose from.

I've been looking around online for really low profile cases and noticed that the case mate barely there and the Incipio Feather light are almost the same case (both 6oz, minimal protection, etc.) I want to order one but I'm wondering which one (if either) protects the corners of the device. From the pictures it seems that the top and bottom are not covered. I was just wondering from people who have had experience with these cases, which protects the corners better? And do either of them have a lip over the screen? If you have both then comparison pictures would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance

I'm in the same boat as you - I'd like to see a comparison between these two (or a review of either, really).
Best I can tell from their websites/descriptions, neither really covers the top/bottom or corners. From the images, it looks like the Feather kind of tapers flush with the phone at the edges a little better (a little more sleek). The Barely There has holes for a wrist strap/tether/charm thing, if you're looking for that.
The Feather has a few more colors available (black, pink, blue, and grey), but I was able to find the Barely There in three colors (black, white, and pink).
I don't see a whole lot of difference, although you can get the Feather for a bit cheaper from Incipio's website for the remainder of the month with a coupon code (SUM2012 - gives you 20% off, I believe).
I had been fond of the Incipio Feather cases since my Blackberry days... I had bad luck with case mate barely there cases breaking on me. Then I found the Amzer Shellster case and holster combo and I will never go back. more durable and a better feel.
I just got the Incipio feather case in the mail today...I had the diztronic before that. Probably post a review/some pics tomorrow. I really like the feather, brings out the beautiful design of the evo and looks much better than the diztronic. Can't say about the case mate

i've had the spigen snap case, and loved it. design and looks just fit perfectly with the phone. only problem was it not sturdy. i think i had it for a week before taking it off to install a new sd card and the case broke. hopefully the feather or the barely there are stronger in quality. these snap cases are awesome though.
nope, never could put this little protection on my evo, I take my LTEVO through too much **** lol
i was looking for a white case like this and bought this, type "White Rubberized Hard Snap-On Case Cover FOR HTC EVO 4G LTE Sprint Accessory" in ebay (sorry cant post links). The case sticks out more than the phone on the bottom but doesnt protect the front corners. The case does not cover the top nor does it stick out more and does not protect the corners. The case sticks out very slightly along the sides of the phone giving it a reallllly slight lip. Does not provide lip for the camera, so the camera stick outs verry little. Its matte white so its a bit slippery.
Black barely there case arrived today. Its great. Slim profile, premium feel. Definitely gets my recommendation.

Can anyone give me some insight on feather/snap on cases. Do they scratch or smudge the chrome/paint on the side or outer edges of the phone from simple every day use. I ordered an incipio feather case for my Samsung galaxy note 3 and I am kinda worried that it will mess up the edges of the phone by having it on.
Here is my quick review of the new Incipio DualPro Case. First I want to say sorry for the blurry pics. Wasn't taken with the best camera, but I wanted to get this up now.
Right off the bat this case feels great. It's almost gel-like. It's made of a hard shell, and very soft inner part, but both feel the same. It's like a feltish feel. Reminds me of the Nexus One's back. Even though it was hard plastic, it had that soft touch feel to it. The buttons are extremely easy to press thanks to the soft inside material being the cover instead of the hard outer shell, or individual pieces like the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. The overall thickness is also less compared to both the Neo-Hybrid and the Spigen Slim Armor. It almost feels like the naked phone without a case.
The cutouts are spot on too. Just like the Slim Armor. No complaints overall. Again the headphone port has a deep cutout, so you will need an extension, or just use headsets with thin jacks. Anything larger than the headphones that came with it won't fit. The camera is tucked in just enough, so there is no fear of it contacting any surface when put down, and the front is thick enough to protect any sort of surface if laid face down. I'm really happy with this case. For me it's a toss up between the Slim Armor and this with the Neo-Hybrid last. Both the Slim Armor and DualPro feel great in the hand, but the DualPro feels a bit better with the super soft touch feel. Great case that you can't go wrong with. The color is Cyan.

Thanks for the pictures & review, this may be my kind of case. One question though, how is the gripping on the sides? All I need in a case now is one that provide sufficient grip, since the Note 3 is so thin and slippery on the sides that sometimes it literally slides off my hands/grip.
The grip on the sides Isn't super slick but I wouldn't call it grippy either. I'd try and check it out in a VZW store first hand. My only complaint is the TPU insert doesn't have much rigidity around the home button and the speaker. So it snags and doesn't stay snug so to speak.
I'm probably going to return mine when my Uag arrives

This is the only case so far that I'm really having an easy time holding. The Slim Armor was the best I thought, but this one is just a perfect increase in size over the naked phone. The rubbery texture is more than enough to grip. When you first put it on it may feel a bit slippery, but it's just the talcom powder they use in the molds for the silicone to be easy to get out. I wiped mine down, and now it's a soft rubbery grippy feeling case. I really like it a lot. Plus the sides are curved. There are no corners that you need to grip against like the Neo-Hybrid or Slim Armor. It's a very natural feeling to hold it since your fingers wrap the entire case. One bonus feature I found for me is the entire bottom is the very soft inner case, and the way I hold the phone I tend to put my pinky under the bottom as a brace. The soft gel really is easy on my finger. The other two case are hard on the bottom, and I would have to keep moving my pinky to stay comfy.

That's a good additon to mention. The top and bottom are both just the soft inner case. There is no hard outer shell to keep it pressed against the phone, so if you tend to put it in your pocket I can see it getting caught and pulled when you try to pull it out, but overall with it being on the case and used, it doesn't "wobble or flipflop" by itself. It's stiff enough to stay put, but easy enough to pull away with a slight tug.
Ah yeah I wasn't clear. It stays put until it snags coming in and out of my pocket. It's merely an annoyance.
My favorite thing about the case is how comfortable it is. Holding the phone naked now feels sharp and uncomfortable.

Looks great!! Thanks for the review and your initial thoughts on it! Looks really good on your white GN3! I also bought a white GN3, so this is perfect for keying me know how this will look on mine! Thank you!!
One thing, you should put a link in the OP so readers can easily find this case, instead of having to search the web for it. Other than that, which you can easily fix with an edit, excellent review!

How'd you get your case so quickly? I pre-ordered directly from incipio.com about 2 weeks ago and still haven't received a shipping notice.
EDIT: Oh, apparently the blue and pink versions are shipping NOW, but the neutral white and black versions are taking a little longer. Ah well.

I'm special. LOL Yeah just as your edit said. I check sites daily, and when I see them in stock I order ASAP. That's how I get all my case in before everyone. I check first thing in the morning (around 8). I find I can order in the morning with "in stock" stuff, and by afternoon they are already out of stock.

I picked up a DualPro SHINE, Brushed silver color, from the Verizon store, They were able to pick up the day note3 came out. They still sell them, It's a the best over the counter case you can get IMHO at the moment.
How does this case compare to the spigen bounce? I just ordered the bounce to try it out.
I loved this case on my SG4 but it was a Lint & Dust magnent. I think there is a correlation with most cases....the grippier the case...the more dust and lint it will attract. Just got a UAG case for my new note 3 and it sits perfectly inbetween Grip and Lint spectrum!
Just ordered mine from amazon. How easy / not easy is it to quickly take off and put back on? Like if I wanted to swap batteries in my phone, would it be this whole ordeal? Thanks

It's very easy. One of the best cases if you need to do that. When it's on it's on good, but no fear of breaking something if you have to take it off.
Sent from a Galaxy Note 3 far, far away....
My older brother had the Shine version of the Incipio DualPro for his Galaxy Note II and it was pretty bulky with no easy way to take it off. I have the Spigen Slim Armor for my Galaxy Note 3 and considered it superior until I noticed a crack in the armor yesterday. It has never been dropped so I am pretty sure that it was caused by taking the phone in and out daily. I do this carefully one side at a time and push through from behind (camera opening) but it happened anyway. I would hope that the Note 3 version of the DualPro is easier.
Also, it was rounded so it probably wouldn't fit a flat metallic plate insert like the nGroove Snap uses. He also tried it with a Qi wireless receiver I sent him and it doesn't work through the case. I hope the Note 3 version is thinner.

Pretty good quality. The texture is really nice and soft yet still durable. Fitment was perfect. Very light. Replacing my slim spigen case with these.

I have a green one and my only complaint is that it does accentuates pocket fluff getting stuck on the edge of the screen but overall that's not a big deal and I gotta say that on the whole I love it.
I really like that the phone lays flat with this and yet it doesn't make the phone feel bulky.
Case looks nice. Unfortunately I hate cases that don't fully cover the top or bottom
Just to clarify for potential buyers, the cases pictured are the sand cases. The regular premium case has no texture. I got 1 sand and one premium yesterday. I was hoping that the premium had a soft touch coating but it does not. I really like the sand case.

it looks like the inside of the sand version is also sanded...will that scratch up the plastic/chrome band and back cover? thanks

From the pics, it looks more sky blue than blue. Is that correct?
I picked up one of the sand black ones on a whim - love it. Great texture, good grip without being sticky (still slides in and out of pockets easily, which the stickier rubber ones do not).
No, there is no texture on the inside to scratch the phone, only outside. May still try a spigen, but super happy with this - would have been happy at $15-20, at $5 it's a no-brainer.
why do all slim fit covers not protect the top and bottom? i love that case, but have to have four sided protection.

In for 1! Testing the gray one Thanks!
I ordered this from amazon for $20 with my prime acct and got it today. I must say that this case is really sturdy and feels great. I have been using the tudia case and this is way better. It makes the phone heavier and it's obvious. But I would say it's worth it. I'll no longer use the tudia on a daily basis.
The covering around the bezel is a lot cleaner on the brig and the grip is a lot better. You can tell the incipio is top quality.
Also, the bezel cover is a matte and not glossy like the tudia. I'm not a fan of the tudias gloss bezel surround as it scratches easy while laying the phone face down. Another thing on the tudia vs incipio bezel cover - The tudia one isn't even. The left side of my tudia case comes in further than the brig. The brig remains even all the way around.
Screen protectors - I think this will play nice with them as it doesn't come in as far as the tudia does. I don't use one though.
Side note: I'm not bashing the Tudia as I still think that for $7 shipped, it's a great case. But the brig is by far better quality. But then again the brig is $13 more.
Thanxs for the share, I have the tudia right now but I think I will pick up one of those incipio cases too.
Thanks - I'll keep my eye on this one, too. It does seem to look higher quality.

Hye guys. I bought a new case for my note 3 today, and im quite sure this brand is not as famous as others, but it really looks nice and simple for me.
First of all, the price is quite affordable, bought it for $18 at local store in my country. (approximately $14usd) Design-wise, it resembles Spigen Neo Hybrid but much slimmer, and the back has textured-leather like design, and it really feels like leather, which imo fells comfortable and non slippery, plus has the stitching design that looks similar with the original back cover of Note 3. The plastic rims that cover the whole bezel also feels quite good. All ports are easily accessible. Protection wise, i think it doesnt offer much protection, so tempered glass is a must. below is the link to the actual product, sorry that i cant post the pics. and im not sure about the availability in other countries.

That i believe is jackplug (that cover your jack from dust), not really sure what people named it though,lol.
That's a pretty nice looking case! What exactly is the back piece made of? Is it plastic made to look like leather, or is it some kind of TPU material? Also how is the grip on the sides?
I won't be switching from my Defender any time soon, but I think my wife might like the pink one shown on the website if her wallet case ever gives out.

the back piece is actually made of soft TPU, so it feels much more leather-like compared to the original back cover. Those who likes to use their phone naked will appreciate this case as it feels literally the same,if not much better. and the rims at the side is not slippery plastic, provide nice grip compared to other hybrid cases that i had used.
More pictures (close-up) and they also give screen protector inside the packaging
