Mine is giving great protection but the case tore where there's the least rubber-near the stylus opening.

You just need a case to protect your case....I buy a case for protection not to look good. Imagine if all them scratches were on your phone. Your case did it's job.

^ agreed. Case did it's job, but it's always the glossy plastic ones that have the noticeable scratches. That's why I always get matte black cases...
That case is notorious for scratching. But like everyone else has said, better the case than your phone.
My only issue with this case is that it tends to want to lift the edges of my zagg screen protector.

A cheap mod you can do to your speck is to sand it down. Will give you a even unfinished black look.

Just got the same one for $16. So far pretty happy with it. Not a huge fan of the gloss finish or the rounded edges, but a squared off look would probably be too bulky. Big fan of the casemate I had on the s2. Maybe they'll come out with something soon. I'd prefer white as well.

People bought the Speck cases from AT&T because its the only case they had out at that time. The case is trash. Rips easily. But I heard that if you got it at a corporate at&t store...they will replace it if it has rips or certain damages. Thats what the sales rep told me the first day it was launched. Anyways I ended up not getting it due to it being really glossy.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
already had mine replaced once. 2 weeks later and I have another rip. Wonder if I can get my money back.
I wasn't a fan of the case either. I get a discount on the accessories so it didn't hit my wallet as bad as most but to me, it offers better protection than the active seidio case I bought. I need to have a holster for my phone so being the speck fit in the active holster I'm using that. I was looking at some of the TPU cases but I'm hoping for the surface case to be made for the Note. My Zagg protector hasn't had an issue but I don't ever take the case off.
candy shell COMPATIBLE with SEIDIO HOLSTER?!
TO PHONEGUY589
Came home with my new white Galaxy Note just 5 days ago - along with the only available case - whilte speck candy shell. As a female who hates to carry a handbag while running errands, I have been looking for a reliable, not-too-bulky & safe holster to remain hands-free. To clarify: your Speck candy shell will fit comfortably into the Seidio holster?? You may have solved my problem....!!!!

Yes, the Speck case fits the active holster PERFECTLY. I had an issue with the soft rubber on Seidio Active case peeling back when I snapped it into the holster so I put the Speck back on and it fits just as good if not better then the Seidio case.
Didn't have any problems with the speck. No tearing or anything other than normal wear. Protects better than the stupid trident case I bought. The trident corners want to slip off, and I barely trust it. It's survived drops though.
Any case is better than none.

The Speck case scratches extremely easily, but I haven't noticed any problem with durability, and I think it gives great protection. It's definitely not worth the full list price, though.

Many thanks for your response; the white does not appear to be available yet; will order when it is.
The body of the One is sleek and you don't want to hinder the look of it. But most of us probably wants to keep it looking it like that, so I was wondering what kind of cases people have. I just ordered the Diztronic TPU aluminum grey version for the One because people have been say its see through and adds minimal bulk to it.
Don't have it yet, but will update when I do receive it.
Share what you have and what you like about it. Also if you want, share a picture. Thanks guys

I heard that the Poetic Atmosphere interferes with the IR blaster because the power button is covered. How do you cope with it or do you not use the iR blaster?
Otterbox Defender.
It's currently the only case I would trust considering how thick it is. If I accidentally drop my phone with a flimsy silicone skin on it, that's not going to do a thing to protect it.

When I received mine two days ago it included a note that in mid-May they will automatically send out an updated version that solves the IR issue and that there was nothing I had to do. That's pretty awesome commitment to quality and customer service.

The Poetic case is made of pieces of polycarbonate plastic bonded with hard rubber (silicone?) will. Polycarbonate is nearly bullet proof (used in safety glasses) and the hard rubber absorb impacts. The fit is very precise and tight, so I wouldn't expect the phone to fly out of the case when dropped.
i alternate between a cruzerlite TPU case and an otterbox cummuter. i like how the cruzerlite still keeps the phone slim but i feel more protected when i have the otterbox on.

I have a cruzerlite as well and an incipio. But will be installing a full body skin soon. Cases take away the beauty of the One
I first had a poetic atmosphere but recently switched to an otterbox commuter which i really like
I just bought the Incipio feather shine at my local Fry's. It's not as good protection as an Otterbox but it does protect the back and should prevent scuffs if dropped on a corner.
I bought the Bear Motion case. I like the texture of it a lot.
Wow....you all have cases that make mine sound crappy. I have a *Speck with the extra gripping. It's not bulky. Definitely hard to get the phone in and out of. It was this or the …there one AT&T had. And I don't remember what that was

That would be the casemate tough case. It's what i am running and it's great. Still maintains a sleek profile while offering great protection. I couldn't bring myself to put a huge otterbox on the one, and this I feel is the next best thing.
The only thing I dislike about it is that the cutout for the camera is larger than it needs to be, and if something were to press hard into your pocket it could get to the camera glass.

Yeah and I like the grip it offers. I agree about the camera cutout. Also makes the volume buttons useful

Interesting review. I have the other review on Amazon. I love the case. I think the lip around the screen is more than sufficient personally. I don't see your point around the camera though.
The other case I am looking at is the trident cyclops.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
This was a first impression of the case. I've had many cases, including simple TPU cases and all of them have a bigger lip around the front. Thickness as well as depth. This just does not feel as sturdy to me. I of course don't want to test if the case will hold the phone at a drop ?
Same goes for the back side. I feel that protection it offers is a bit too thin. If you end up putting a phone down on a not very clean surface there is a bigger chance of whatever is on the surface to touch the camera glass.
I'll keep wearing though for now. To see how it really is during daily usage. With exception of these two points I like the case. But those are important points when it comes to protecting $800 device

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
The Spigen Ultra Hybrid case is well constructed like all of their other products. The case features a clear back and TPU bumper. Spigen claims that the back panel has a scratch resistant coating, which I found not be very effective. I have had the case on my phone for about 4 days now and there are noticeable scratches on the back already. Other than that big pitfall, the case is great. There isn’t a lot of added bulk to it, and it looks nice on the phone. The case itself is very slippery with the TPU giving you minimal grip. I am happy with the appearance of the case, but I might have to contact Spigen about their claims that it has a ‘scratch resistant coating’. I did not notice any difference compared to a regular clear plastic case which scratches just as easily.
Now we move onto the Spigen Slim Armor case. As with their other slim armor cases this one does in fact add some bulk to the phone. The feel is nice, but the edge where the plastic back meets the TPU has a sharp feel to it that I did not experience on my Note 3’s slim armor case. The one nice feature is the large cut out for headphones and the small TPU above the volume buttons that prevents your finger from sliding onto the camera lens. This case will more than likely be my daily driver because it protects the phone rather well.
Both of these cases feature a small 0.1mm lip that keeps your screen off whatever surface you may rest it on. This of course is assuming that you place your phone face down. The cases also accommodate the Spigen Nano tempered glass screen protector as can be seen in my pictures. I hope that Spigen continues to improve their products and comes up with a better coating to resist scratches on their Ultra Hybrid cases.

Thing about hybrid cases is the softer inside cases starts loosing shape if you have a phone that gets a lille hot. It happens with my neo hybrid on the s4.. Just under the camera where the processor sits there's a bulge. Its because it gets hot near that area and now the back isn't flush but has a bulge and let's dust in through the camera cutout. So instead of protecting my phone the back cover is now scratched to bits. But the g3 slim armor case doesn't look like it will have that problem as the back plate covers most the back.

They probably will make the not-with-hole version
Supcase makes the same case as this, without the antenna cutout. Based on another user's feedback on one he got for his g3, they have a great fit. They also have good reviews for their other cases on amazon. I ordered one in clear/gray.

Is the lip enough high to protect the screen of G3?

And....I saw the post that Spigen have some plans to make the case without antenna outlet.

It is supposed to but due to the lg g3 being rounded it can't have feet to prevent scratches. Thus it scratches very easily o have tried 2 of them just in case the first was defective , but both scratch easily.

Yes it's the standard lip spigen has for all of the cases (neo hybrid, slim armor etc...) Its plenty to protect the screen.

Not sure where to post this, but here it is. So I've seen this question around, because I had the same question. But was wondering if Spigen had a US version of their Slim Armor case (no cut out for the antenna) for the LG G3. From pictures and information I've seen I didn't really see much. But I went ahead and ordered one off amazon anyway because I liked the design. I just received it in the mail today and opened it up, and found that it's a US version. It does not have the antenna cut out. Needless to say I was ecstatic, and figured I would post this for anyone needed such a case.
