[PICS] Diztronic High Gloss Clear case for Note 3 - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

For every phone that I get, & I have had a lot of phones, I have always bought a Diztronic TPU case, But I always wondered about the Clear Diztronic, so for my Note 3 I though I'd give the Clear a shot.

Pros: Proper cutouts like always
Buttons have awesome feedback & can be located without looking @ phone due to the buttons being raised
Case fits extremely snug
For those of you with a white Note 3, this case almost blends in with the phone
Even though I have only had the case for about 5 days, there has been no staining that some white or clear cases usually show
$1 cheaper than Diztronic TPU
Case has a lip around the camera to lift above table
Flash halo effect not present within my tests
Cons: None as of yet
All in all, I am glad I purchased this case. Looks & feels great on the Note 3.

Looks great! Thanks for the review!

The cases they make are just right, had one for my s3, and Note 2. The only problem with the clear ones, they tend to yellow according to use. Keep us posted and thanks.

I've got this case now and it's not too bad. It's just a bit slippery bc of the high gloss on the back but that's to be expected.
Although, I ordered a UAG case and I'm excited for that.

Great case, but the color or lack thereof rather, is really bad.
The black looks great, but the clear case makes it look like my phone's wearing a condom or in one rather.

A nice case. I used to buy these for my previous phones back in the days of the gsm/unlocked phones. I still love the look of the clear case and the case is under $10

Wireless Accessories Hybrid Case Black/Black

This is a pretty decent hybrid case. I uploaded a few pictures to Amazon to give more people a better chance to see what it looks like since the seller only uploaded a picture of the back, and I have the only review on Amazon as well if you want to hear what I thought about it. Basically, it's a good fit but I'm not the biggest fan of how it feels in my hand and how much thickness it adds. I honestly feel like they could have made the silicone thinner where it's covered by hard plastic and reduced the overall thickness by a lot. It's not the end of the world, but we'll see how long I have it on there before I take if off and go all slim-n-sexy again.
Also, for whatever reason Amazon didn't like my picture of the packaging so I'm attaching a picture of the mailer it comes in and the packaging you have to open. It's pretty standard stuff, but it's here for you to look at just in case.
Edit: Typo.

This is the case I decised on too. I works, very light, but I'm not sure how much protection it offers. Coming from a Seidio Active case on an iPhone 4, this is a let down, but there aren't many choices. I'd rate it a 6 overall

Agreed - But there's not much case love for the AT&T OG so we're at the mercy of this type of case unless Seidio or Otterbox or such changes their mind about making something for us.
I got this case off eBay, just received it yesterday. For a case being under $10 its not bad and I feel it will protect it from a mild drop just fine. Also the silicone on the front has a raised lip so if you set the phone face down its not on the screen. The only real down side is that the case covers the power button so no notification light now.
I'll add pictures of mine, since its blue might be easier to see then the black case.

How does the case feel?
I purchased the one from Ventev that looks identical to this case. I sent that one back because the "TPU" it said the case was made of was really hard kinda felt like plastic. That made the buttons hard to push. Is the rubber the case made out of hard or soft like tradition TPU? I want this case because I like the two layers of protection but I dont want another case that was like the Ventev case. For now I have the Diztronic case on it and I took the plastic shell off the Belkin case and it fit over the Diztronic TPU case with little force and its like a makeshift Otterbox Commuter.

I just replaced mine with the Fusion Hybrid, I like it much better...
After only like 2 weeks, the "silicone" was stretching. It's actually more like a molded foam, and the plastic hard shell only holds it to the phone in a few areas. The plastic shell on the Fusion Hybrid actually seems to be a lot more stiff and holds it on three sides. The silicone feels a lot better on the new case as well, seems more dense...
For less than $10, neither is terrible, but I'd spend on the Fusion Hybrid...

My 4 cases - reviews and thoughts

Hello friends,
I thought I'd share some thoughts on the four cases I have for my Note 3. They are, from left to right: A Samsung view case which came with my phone, a Wave case by Mob:C, a Neo Hybrid case by Spigen, and a Slim Armor case also by Spigen.
First, the flip/window case. This was free when I bought my phone in Korea. It has a window and finger grooves on the side. I'm fairly certain it's an official Samsung product, but it's not very good. I only used it for about three days before buying a new case, and I noticed the following:
1. The window was already very scrathed and didn't look very good.
2. The case didn't stay shut that well.
3. The finger groove design makes it difficult to put into and remove from the pocket.
4. The build quality isn't very good. The case feels cheap and fragile.
5. It's also not a smart flip case. Would not recommend.
The second case, called the Wave by Mob:c was the first non flip case I found In Korea. I liked the drop protection this case offered, but the enormous rubbery bumpers also added a significant amount of girth to the phone. I also liked the deeply recessed camera cutout, which kept the camera well away from tabletops. The s pen cutout is also very generous, allowing for easy access. Things I dislike about this case are as follows:
1. The wave shape is perhaps intended to make the phone fit the hand better, but in reality it seems to make it worse, possibly because it makes the phone so wide.
2. The wave shape, like the fingergrooves on the flip case, tends to make this case get hung up on pockets when going in or coming out.
3. The bezel around the screen is quite shallow, making it dangerous to set the phone down face down.
This case is alright overall, but I can't really recommend it unless you're in love with the shape.
The third case is the well known Neo Hybrid from Spigen. This case arrived at the same time as the Slim Armor, as I liked both designs but wasn't sure which I'd prefer. This case is very slim and therefore doesn't feel like it would offer much protection. It's also a bit slick in the hand. The only other thing I'm not crazy about with this case is the very low bezel on the screen and the very shallow recess for the camera. It didn't offer the protection I wanted, but I still think it's an attractive design and will work perfectly for those looking for a trim case that still offers a bit of protection.
Lastly, my favorite of the four, the Slim Armor. Things I like about this case include the just deep enough bezel, the just deep enough camera recess, and the rock solid feel in the hand. It honestly feels like a suit of armor for your phone, and while it doesn't appear to offer the maximum protection you'd get from the Otterbox or similar designs, I'd still trust it to save the phone from a realistic drop. Things I don't like about it: it's quite slick in the hand, and the buttons aren't quite as easy to use as they are on the naked phone or with the other cases.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this case. The feeling in the hand is just fantastic, and the case is attractive but still minimalist.
Hope you enjoyed these mini reviews, thanks for reading.

I am using the slim armor myself in slate. Absolutely love it. I also tried the neo and wasn't impressed. The outer ring didn't fit properly and the overall feel in the hand wasn't for me.

I have the Slim Armor on my N3 right now in white. The fit and finish is at a very high level. The protection seems about right for normal use. It is an impressive case. Very solid and polished. But, I am not sure I am going to be able to continue to use it for two reasons. First, it is slippery. Common sense tells me I am going to drop this case more often and that just does not make sense to me. Second, the power button takes an effort to push and that is annoying because you are always using it. I could probably live with the buttons, but worrying about dropping the phone is a deal breaker for me. My last case was the CruiserLite on my Note 2. I used that case for a year ... very grippy with texture on each side ... dropped it one in a year of use. I've tried the CruiserLite for the Note 3, but it did not fit well and I returned it.
Any suggestions on a grippy case for the Note 3?

I have about 5 case for my phone right now so far this spigen is the 1 that would slip out hand the most but I haven't broke it yet then I have the knock off griffin case that has protection and has grip and it's kind like the otterbox then I have some cheap 9$ one I won on a ebay bid then I have the blason one which has alot of grip then I have a caseology one but the spigen is semi tough because I dropped it once on tile floor the knockoff griffin is pretty touch I dropped it while biking on pavement and it survived surprisingly because the case was 10$ from Japan

TPU Case Comparison Cruzerlite, TUDIA, Diztronic

I am the kind of guy who likes minimal bulked added to my phone without sacrificing protection. Naturally I would choose TPU cases to achieve this goal and I have 3 types that I will be writing a short review on.
The first case and a longtime favorite is the Cruzerlite TPU case in clear. The fit is great, I wrote another OP about the case which you can find in this section as well. *To sum it up its tied for the thinnest of the 3 cases with the TUDIA, they have great customer service and make great cases. My initial case had a slight fit issue with the camera (only 1 of my 3 Cruzerlite cases had this issue) and they sent me a free replacement no questions asked! The headphone jack is large and the USB opening is small and will mushroom with the factory cable but that's no problem for me.
The second case is the TUDIA TPU case in 'clear'. The top and bottom are actually clear while the mid section is more of a frosted clear color. There are no button cutouts like on the Cruzerlite but instead molded buttons similar to the Diztronic. The TUDIA doesn't have a curve in the volume rocker like the diztronic but I like the feel of it better. The molded buttons have almost the same feel as the diztronic for those who like the molded buttons. I actually prefer this over Cruzerlite cutouts after using it for a while. The TUDIA also has the moto dimple cutout which is great because it makes a nice finger rest. I find myself missing this on the diztronic. Clear is my favorite "color" because I use dbrand skins on all of my phones and I want to show off the Nexus logo. I've used this case for about 9 days and it's holding up rather well. There are no noticeable marks yet and despite the many times over removed my phone to get dirt out it hasn't stretched out at all.
The last but not least is the Diztronic TPU case in black. The case is the thickest of the 3 only by a small margin. I don't have a digital caliper to double check it but I might go pick one up because they come in handy. The feel is very smooth and almost slippery. It reminds me a lot of the Spigen Neo Hybrid with a semi soft touch finish on it. There is no cutout on the case which kes the phone feel much bigger to me, but that's OK because the case is great. The headphone jack cutout is a little small but it fits my Bose headphones just fine. The USB cutout is small just like the other two and it will have a little "mushrooming" when you use the factory cable. To me this doesn't matter because I use my TYLT qi charger to charge the phone. The biggest downside to this case is the way it attracts fingerprints and oil from your hands. I mentioned above how this feels just like the back is the Neo Hybrid, well it attracts fingerprints just as much.... I still like the case and I may get a blue one to see if its less noticeable but only time will tell. In the 5 hours that I've had the case it's already scratched a good amount on the back from very light use. I'm rather disappointed about this, but I hope it will wipe off or blend in when I clean it tomorrow morning.
Overall I would buy all 3 cases again, but the TUDIA is now my favorite case because of the molded buttons and nice clean look. You can't go wrong by buying any of these cases.
Qi charging works on all 3 cases just fine. I tested it on 2 chargers (TYLT VU and my LG WCD-100)
Pictures of the ports, more pictures will be added in the morning.

Poetic Affinity Case Review!

So I recently got the Poetic Affinity case for my S7 after having one for my old Moto X, and I thought i'd give another review!
Honestly, most of what i said for my Moto X review remains the same here; it's pretty much the same case, but made for the GS7. Here's some pics:
http://imgur.com/a/TEOFt
now, it's a nice case if you like a clear case. i'm not 100% partial to clear cases, as I dislike how smudgy and fingerprinty they get from all the grease on your hands throughout the day , much like a screen gets. it's bad enough I have to keep wiping down my screen, so I'm not a huge fan of also wiping down the case! for this reason, I'm not a huge gel TPU fan either anymore.
but, if you like a 100% crystal clear case that's a flexible TPU, get this case. the clear case shows off the cool colored glass back of the GS7, which as you move it in the light, you can see it shine in different ways. In that respect, it looks awesome!
now, the case fits easily, and it's got some nice TPU rubber corners for drop protection. This black TPU extends throughout the back, so when you put the phone down on it's back, it's actually being held up by the TPU rather than the clear back, which will definitely resist a lot of scratches on the clear portion of the case itself.
The camera cutout is great, and there's full availability to the heart rate monitor.
All of the ports are precisely cut out and are easily able to be used. The side buttons are tight, but not too tight, so they're easily clickable, but they won't be clicked by accident. The "ribbed" side grips are also great for holding on to the phone.
All in all, it's a really great case and totally worth checking out!
check out the amazon link here:
http://www.amazon.com/Affinity-Prem...affinity s7&qid=1462399097&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
It is a nice review , definitely will check it out . thank you
Will you do one for the Revolution when it comes out soon? I had it for the S6 and Note5 and it's a lot better than Otterbox Defender. I emailed poetic and it's not supposed to have the kickstand or the goofy loop on the top like the Note5 did which didn't allow for wireless charging.

Looking for a premium look case

Hey fellas!
I am looking for a premium looking case for my nexus 6.
My phone is white if it matters.
I did like a lot the Nilkin slim border, but its out of stock everywhere.
Also i have found this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Sli...hash=item41939eb983:m:m2afeTHn0qE_nI9hygZ9iVg
Black aluminum borders.
Besides that, im looking for something that will give me a nice grip yet still make the phone look elegant and aesthetic.
Thanks!
I have that. It looks okay, but the quality is crap. I got rid of it right away.
My favorite Nexus 6 case is this one:
Ringke FUSION [Dust Cap/Drop Protection][CLEAR] Shock Absorption Bumper. (Available on Amazon)
It adds minimal bulk and fits like a glove.
I bought this case about 6mo ago, and have been very happy with it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152687543728 (Not affiliated with the seller, just a happy customer)
Back is a clear, hard plastic (poly-carbonate?) and the "lip" is a firm TPU-type material. I've dropped it dozens of times with zero problems.
I've used the "S-shape" type cases for other phones in the past. A simpler, less "high-end" look, but they have tiny little "nubs" at the edges that give excellent grip. (Zoom in on pics to see):

I have this Ringke also and it is a good case, but I wouldn't consider it premium. It does provide adequate protection for minor bumps and falls. It has a large enough lip that my tempered glass screen protector doesn't scratch if I place the phone face-down on a table. The clear TPU yellows over time so it looks dingy though. Depending on how frequently you charge or use a headset, the dust caps can be annoying (of course they are easy to snip off the case if you like.)
Overall it is a very good case and the one I use most of the time, but particularly because of the yellowing of the clear plastic, I can't consider it a premium case.
I use a Spigen slim armor. Very nice looking and protects well. I had together it directly from Spigen though. I tried ordering one from a discounter and they send me a fake. It literally didn't even look like the real thing and lacked the kick stand and didn't even fit properly. They just printed Spigen on some random vaguly similar case and tried to pass it off.
Have had a number of cases over the years and I'm none rival the quality, feel, build, and just plain sexiness of the Seidio Dilex Pro. I'm the best kickstand case as the kickstand itself is metal as well as magnetic, it's also very sturdy. I went thru 2 Spigen Slim Armor kickstand cases after the plastic kickstands broke off then I discovered this beauty lol. Also rocking a Dbrand skin and no problems with the fit. Also the feel of the outside lip is great, more than enough to sit it face down, but formed and angled perfectly as to not in any way hinder using the screen. Seidio is also a big name company so the price is higher @ $29.99, over your run of the mill ebay cases, but as the famous saying goes, you get what you pay for lol.
https://www.amazon.com/Seidio-DILEX-Metal-Kickstand-Motorola/dp/B00S6TA3RW
Also might add that the way the metal kickstand is attached the area is flat which means sitting it on a table it will stay put instead of rocking back and forth lol. The butter shell of the 2 pieces is also covered (or made?) out of something that is pretty grippy, no slick plastic or rubbery TPU to deal with, using it for over a year in construction sites, factories, and other outdoor/dirty jobs it doesn't hold dirt or sweaty skin oils compared to others I've used, I wash mine bout once a month in hot water with dish soap and no warping, deforming, or most of all, fading, still black as the day I got it. And one last awesome thing that's soo small to be easily looked over but makes a huge difference when case makers don't do it is the side buttons, each one is individual, precision molded, and have a very satisfying feel when depressing them. It may be a tad bigger compared to bumpers or extremely thin shell cases which are barely a step up over a full Dbrand or (can't remember the other skin company) skin lol, I found myself loving the size, it's not full on OtterBox, but it still is thin enough to let me use it one handed which is whenever I'm doing anything but typing lol.
::Edit:: Oh yea, it comes in Black, Blue, Red, and White. Seidio also makes a Surface case with the metal kickstand as well and I'm sure it's just as high quality of a product I have not tried it myself and cannot attest to it's build, here is an Amazon listing tho if you would like to see it, it is one that includes a belt holster tho there are listings without the holster for cheaper.
