After finally deciding on the reiko case as a cheap option and a good case for me to take to the gym, I found out it doesn't really fit with my glas.t. I mean it technically does, but it appears to have messed up the adhesion around the edges. I would not recommend using both. Very disappointing since it's such a nice case especially for the price.
Anyone want to swap cases? I figure a slip on gel case or something would be good for not messing up my SP and for good protection against accidental dumbell hits or something. I got the all black version of the reiko case.. brand new, only put on to test fit. i'm not looking to add any cash for an expensive case. Just something cheap.. even trade, etc.

I am will to trade a mercury case black or white. Do u have a pic of your case?
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)
Yeah i'll get pics a bit later. How tight does the mercury case fit, specifically around the front? All I really care about is not putting stress on the edges of my screen protector and ruining it.

Its perfect fit. It lines up around the glass does not really go over it. Look in the forum and see if anyone else is using it with the glass.

How much movement is in the case once on? I've got two offers on that mercury case and I'm kind of hesitant since the edge of the glass is basically right where my SP is and i'm worried any movement will be a perfect opportunity for the case to peel up my glas.t
There is not much movement it is the hardest tpu case I have owned. Did u check other threads? Is anyone using the mercury case with that glass?

How far does your screen protector go? The Mercury Case only holds onto the plastic bezel around the edge, not the screen.
Correct ^^^^

On the one side of my screen it more or less lines up exactly with the glass. What do you think?
The speck world with the glas.t, but if you don't keep your phone in some protective pouch the case will look like garbage, really killing the looks. But it works well with the glass

This will def not interfere with anything on your glass. It only goes as high as the "chrome" accent it snaps/clips to.
One caveat is the plastic bezel surrounding the screen will end up exposed and vulnerable.
But if you like your phone "naked",I got the clear white, it really looks as if nothing is on.
Some of you guys might like this look. Here you go. Enjoy. Sorry for the bad quality pictures. Using my backup phone.
Undecided.. Already damned big as it is!

Looks great, thanks for the pictures. How long did it take to arrive after shipping? Mine was supposed ship today but didn't receive any confirmation. Now I'm worried that it won't be here in time for my N3 later this week.

Got any pics of the headphone jack area? I have studio monitor headphones with a huge jack, trying to see if they will fit... Thanks!
Not gonna lie. As thin as the case is, it sure does add some bulk to the phone. Also the port for the S-Pen is still snug and the the S-pen comes in contact with the case when you pull it out. Doesn't bother me though. Feels really good in the hands and the case fits like a glove.
Got the email from Amazon that it shipped on October 3rd and I received it today.
I just wish they'd commit to the Slim Armor View, they have 431 likes already.
How long ago did you order your's tungo0516? I may just order the Urban Armor Gear Navigator on principal at this point and wait and see if they make the Slim Armor View. The UAG is honkin' huge, but it's much better protection.
If you guys don't mind waiting, I can probably get pictures of the case installed on a black GN3, assuming my friend stops by tomorrow. If he does, I'll throw the case on his phone and snap some photos

Ordered September 16. Shipped October 3rd. Received today. iLoome tempered glass will be here this Thursday.
UAG is too big. This phone feels bigger in my hands than the Note 2 with the Samsung OEM case I had before, but feels so much better in the hand. I'm going to the Miami Heat preseason game this Friday. Can't wait to utilize that camera.
:good: very nice - exact one I have on the way 'cept red. Really dig the look.

How much contact? Enough to scratch the pen or the paint from the case?
that cut out for the spen hole looks hideous
It's bigger
It looks bigger than being naked. Maybe I gotta choose a slim case. S-View is out of my view. Because it's currently sold in Korea & China. I don't believe in cheap cases that made in China due to its low quality
can show some pictures on the 3.5mm aux jack?
Would like to see how big the opening is.
Thanks.
Does the case feel slippery? Or does it give you a better grip than going bareback?
Looks great! Thanks for the pics. Looking forward to mine in silver.
Is the back as fingerprint-prone as people say it is?
Also wondering about the grip. Is it a noticeable improvement over naked? Holding the phone naked is like holding an oversized bar of soap.
Does this case have enough of a lip around the back to protect the camera lens when on its back and enough of a lip to protect the screen while face down?
My Dante Red Neo-Hybrid comes in today or tomorrow, I can post picks of it on my black GN3.
Hi is the lip around the screen raised enough so that the screen don't touch the surface thanks for the pictures
How easy are the buttons to press? I know on some cases with built in buttons they are harder than a mother.....

Honestly, I believe it will scratch the pen if you pull it out too much. What I do is tilt the s-pen and pull it at a downward angle. Maybe it's just my case, but over time if you pull it out too much, scuffs on the pen will appear and the s-pen will look worn out.
I am interested in this case but is the rubber part the kind of gummy silicon that attracts dust?
I would love to find something like the Spigen Neo Hybrid I am using on my S4.
I did look for cases like hybrid ones too but there's none such things... better to find slim cover cases

I have the dual shine pro ..its an amazing case...dosent really attract dust for me....but the end next to the charger..has kinda loosened up a little .....dosent look all that bad ....but i guess that might be because i did pull it out of the case a few times ...but overall i love the case..i hate those flap cases..so for me its been awesome
Hmm. I might go caseless. I think I will be less likely to drop a large phone. I mean I've never dropped my 7 in tablet since I've had it.
Ended up ordering one of the cases. It's a little dusty but not like the silicon cases of old. Can't comment on how it fits the phone since it came before the phone did but it is not bulky by any means but should protect well.
Also found a glass screen protector by glass-m so I will have full protection!
I have one, the case should be good for protection,i don't think there are any other option out there, the option for z ultra is limited.
But it's not for me, there isnt any opening for the magnetic charging, only micro usb port opening.

I have an unexpected issue with the case....it smells....big time! The silicon smells like BO, mildew and rubber. Enough that its going to bother me when I hold the phone to my head to make calls!

Ships from Hong Kong. Mine just shipped I'll post here when I get it. ~$39 after shipping which is a little steep but its a lot of glass. The normal sized phone protectors are fairly cheap.

Ahhhh i though it was just me, mine also smells so bad i even think the odor sticks to my hand.
Got the phone and the case. It's a bust. The smell can't be removed and its unbearable. The rubber collects dust and the little piece of rubber over the charge port area is already stretched and loose , the screen protector didn't adhere well either. Kind of a bust overall. Luckily I ordered the glass screen protector but I don't think I'll be using the case. May just use it naked I guess. Not very many other options. The incipio feather case would be better but I doubt a hard shell like that will provide as much impact protection.
Other than that I LOVE the phone.
Got this case today,inner silicone is good,only disappointed by the outer aluminum finish case.It feel cheap,will buy dualpro only if knew that earlier.

Indeed, it does not. Which is why I've ordered the Muvit Bimat back case instead, from Mobilefun.com, for $28 shipped.
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.

Yeah, its unfortunate, but its better than a broken phone. I put "mini" in the title because its not a extensive review. The case models are Ultra Hybrid (the clear one) and Slim Amror (the blue one) for clarification.

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.

Any info they will make a version without antena hole ?
Just received email from Spigen
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?
Does the ultra hybrid case have the scratches resistance?
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.
