Hello Note 3 peeps,
I emailed Apex Carbon Fiber to see if they were going to be doing some Note 3 Carbon cases and I got a nice reply.
Thank you for your inquiry.* Although we don't currently have any carbon cases for the Note 3 we are hoping to have something available soon.* If you would like, I can make a note of your email address and contact you when we have something for the Note 3 ready.*
Best regards,
Bryan Hand

Good call man. Checked them out before, but the note 2 didn't have the selection that the S4 does now. if they can make something clean and sleek with minimal bulk as possible - they could have probably the best case out there.

Yeah that's what I hopping they do. Something light weight and slim but with some nice carbon fiber styling.

I just ordered this for our 2 brand new Notes.
It was cheap enough to take a chance. A few reviews exist for other Galaxy phones, with negative effects on NFC (not a prob for the Note) but otherwise not bad. I liked the brushed metal look, though I suspect the "metal" is not truly metal , probably a metallic sticker.

I'll post a review when I get them.
Looks nice. Wouldn't mind seeing a follow up when u receive it, curious if this effects your reception or not as well

Black and copper (they call it brown). If I like them enough I may get a silver one also. For $7 shipped I don't mind a having a few. I kinda expect them to be a little cheesy
If you like the metals here is another aluminum option that a user here found.
I actually went on a case/cover buying spree last night, getting these and several other options for my fiancee as presents (gotta keep 'em happy!) since I talked her into a white Note yesterday. Should have 4 different styles on the way.

Are they actually metal or a metallic sticker? Fit well? Reception issues?
Could you post a pic of it on your note?
Those look great. I ordered two a Silver one for me and a Pink one for a friend.

this looks nice but the back looks raised up and not as smooth flowing as ours.
Will this fit on the i717? Some people have reported that the n7000 case wont fit on the i717.

I purchased a carbon fiber back for my i717 and the tabs are in different spots. They can be clipped with a nail clipper but it still wasn't worth it since it doesn't fit great

There was placeholder on their website last week but it was poofed. I'm hoping something is announced next week. I'm too clumsy to wory about cute :fingers-crossed:
My point exactly it looks legit and if that is the design I hope and pray that it is like that to keep dust from under screen like the note 2 case was horrible for doing. I just bought two note 3 phones as well as I still have two note 2 phones.

Got this in response from Otterbox today
Dear Matthew,
Our Otter Engineers are currently working on a case for that Note 3 device. We do not have an expected launch date at this time, but we recommend following us on your favorite social network to hear the latest OtterBox news and product updates. Thank you for your patience as we work to perfect our next, top quality product.

Thank you sir I think it is quite ridiculous how for our preferred choice of device maker is rather pushed to the side but then again Samsung isn't like apple being that they make devices differently from each model. Instead of waiting half a decade

Found the PERFECT Belt Holder NOTE3
After checking out all the stores.... I could not find a vertical Belt Holder for the NOTE3...until, I found a professional seamstress. She made this modification from a store bought holder! PERFECT Fit with just about a 1/4" sticking out so I can quick grab it for calls! Let me know if you might be interested in one! I can send your her store name...Michael ($48.00 case & Shipping)
I'm looking for a flip cover that is similar to the note 2 without the S View.

you're right, a pouch. they still make some great looking stuff
I asked Trim Leather about a case way back in early September, I had specifically asked him about a one off wallet case and he said they would be offering products for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 and possibly others.
I got an updated email from him a couple of days ago. They ran into a structural design issue they are working out. The S-Pen slot has caused the delay so he was expecting something to be available for us to see later this month, hopefully sooner.
Any news?:fingers-crossed:
This is a fantastic looking case. I would be in the market for this if/when it goes live

Why do they need an S-pen slot for a pouch style case ... don't you have to remove the phone from pouch to use it anyway?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
they look great except for the large hand threads.. that looks terrible.
I would totally buy one if they just machine stitched them with much finer thread.
But its what YOU the consumer likes
If you look the pouch is the note 1 the note 3 is in a snap on case
Im getting one for sure!

It's a case, the people posting saying its a pouch posted in early October - before they released the image of the case.
Suspect that will be a fairly heavy case.
I just ordered mine!

Have you received your case yet? If so it would be great if you could post pictures and your impression of the fit. I'm looking to order one but I'd love the first hand experience of someone who owns one.

100+ dollars! Wow that's out of the question. Looks great, but no way I can justify that purchase.

Doesn't look like it's designed to fit any other micro USB 3.0 B cables than Samsung's particularly small one.

Where are you seeing they're made in Hong Kong? Everything I see on their website leads a person to believe they're making the cases.

Hi everyone, I hope you all are enjoying your galaxy tab pro's. If you're like me, you are looking for a good case. I came from the Nexus 7 2013 and I bought this case http://www.seidioonline.com/asus-google-nexus-7-2013-dilex-case-cover-black-p/bd2-csk3asn72-bk.htm and it was one of the best cases i've ever owned. I decided to ask seidio on twitter if they planned on making any cases for the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 and this was their response
"Currently we don't have any plans to make cases for the Tab Pro 8.4, but I will forward your request to my product team."
Now, I think if we get enough people to ask for them to make a case they might do it. If you can, would you please send them a tweet asking if they could make a case for the Galaxy tab Pro 8.4? It would mean alot to me and it would benefit all people who want their cases for their new Galaxy Tabs.
Here is their twitter: https://twitter.com/Seidio
Thanks, and please respond here if you do tweet @ them.
$45 for a case that doesn't cover the front glass?

It does cover the front glass, with far more protection than most other flip book style cases. Cases like poetics slimline are nice, but having the flop cover slide all over when trying to read on the tablet for extended periods of time is annoying. Check out a review on YouTube to see what I mean.

just traded my note edge for a nexus 6 and one of the first things i noticed was very annoying was the rocking side to side when it was laid down and i was touching stuff on the screen. is there any cases that help the issue without turning it into a big ass brick shape. i watched plenty of videos before i traded and was aware of the issue but i am a phone junky and need to try them all lol. i have never used a stock android device before this one so looking for something to help me enjoy using the phone before i get annoyed by it so i can give it a fair shake. any other ideas that people use to lighten the amount of back and forth will be appreciated
Not 100% but I think the carved cases are flat.. a little pricey tho @~$30 but look sooooo nice

If you don't mind the added bulk, the unicorn beetle case eliminates the curved back
I can recommend the Evocel Slim Armor case. It's what I'm rocking now, as a matter of fact.

Unfortunately, I kind of needed my Nexus to take these photos... ?
I should also mention, it does add some thickness to the device - but not really much more than the Spigen Slim Armor. I'd imagine it has a lot to do with taking a rounded back and making it flat.

^^Definitely a flat back.^^ I'm considering this bumper with a carbon fiber skin on the back. Or maybe just ordering another one or two back covers to swap out if they get scraped up. I think I would like this

I'd say it could be better in terms of grip? But personally it's never just slipped out of my hands.

Gotcha its tempting but I have so many cases already. None that are flat though so hmm. Looks like it adds a bit too much bulk however? Or not too bad?

Not too bad at all. As I'd said - I'd say it's comparable in thickness to the Spigen Slim Armor, and the only real additional bulk comes from the added material in making a rounded back a flat one. I don't think I can go back to rounded now, actually. ^^;
