Anyone can recommend a good armband with case on for note 3? I am currently using Spigen's Neo Hybird,
This is what I am currently using is from amazon "High Quality Armband for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 / Note 3 Mobile Smartphone Water Resistant Neoprene Sports Gym Jogging Exercise Strap (Revised Version)" Sorry can't post link. The fit is good but it's rather uncomfortable to wear, I ran the Trenton half yesterday with it on and it was not the most comfortable thing to wear when running long distance. Any recommandations is appreciated.
I'd actually like a belt case and just hook it on my belt for long distance runs. I had one I could fit my work iPhone in and normally would run with it. I think I'd rather switch to the Note 3 for running though. Runtastic is much better on Android than iOS.
Have you seen any good Velcro flap belt cases that attach all the way around a belt and not just clip on from the top?
The Arkon works well

Hi everyone,
Not sure if this is allowed here on XDA but I learn a lot here and I wanted to give back a little. I have been researching for the utmost case for my beloved note and I finally found this case that i love. http://amzn.to/ZzDsJ3 and at $10 it's super inexpensive.
The built quality is excellent.I would say its on par with the best cases out there. The material is mat finish which is very nice.
It stands up like a kickstand to watch movies on etc, that works very well for me on my desk.
It also comes with a belt clip holster. I know it looks old fashion 2005 already but I don't care, It is very functional. The note does not fit properly in my back pocket, it's always falling out or in my other jeans have buttons and may scratch the screen. It does not fit in my front pant pocket without hurting my thigh and I can't drive like that. Placing it in my jacket pocket is also a recepie for it falling very soon, in fact mine has called out of my jacket pocket a few times luckily on carpet. Some jackets have zipper pockets which WILL also scratch the note when trying to place it in and out of the pocket. So finally with this I can put it on my belt using this holster case, , turn it horizontally and that's it, I forget about it and won't even feel the weight when I have a belt on. I can sit down and get up, get in and out of the car, drive and never feel it. I don't have to take it off while driving anymore and that's very convenient I never forget about my phone left behind in my car and it never rolls under the seat when I am driving.
So I found this case and I am very happy with it. I ordered with a few other things to go over $25 and got free shipping from amazon too.
I'm on my ipad now but when I get a chance I will post pictures. I just got this today on Christmas :laugh: :good: very happy with it.
I like the androidified tpu case.

I've been using the Seido Surface since the HTC PPC6700 lol, though I think it was called something else back then.
I ordered one today, hopefully will get it by Thursday. Simple (and thin), yet effective
Love the setup but I have owned 3 of their holsters, they always break for me. I am buying their active or their version of s-view when it comes out. Love their cases.

Seido was my #1 case for a long time... Until the came out with kickstand only cases for the note 2. And now the same thing with the Note 3.
QUALITY wise you wont be disappointed.
A bummer, I know..
I love the Seidio Surface holsters, and they do work with many cases other that the Surface case. I've used them with several cases on my Galaxy Nexus, from Diztronic up to a case over a Zero Lemon battery (what I'm using now). The only problem I've found with them, and it's a major problem, is that the plastic clip holding the holster to your belt is easy to pop off, ruining the holster. My car, an Evo X, has high side bolsters on the front seats, and if I don't remember to slide the holster toward my middle when I sit down it will pop the plastic clip. Even with this issue I still like this holster better than any other I've found, and especially like the way the holster can be rotated to different angles for comfort.
In a little less than two years with my GNex I'm now on my fourth Surface holster, and I always keep a spare since I know I'll soon break another clip. I still keep buying them!
Same issue with me. So frustrating because I love their cases.

I picked up the Platinum branded version of this at my local best buy mobile. See if they have one, I got lucky because they just had the one.

Not a discussion about cases or anything, just wondering how everyone carries their Note 3 since it's such a bigger phone. Coming from the S4 I find the added wight and size almost too big for my pockets. During the week I have to use a belt clip holster as I'm a field tech for copiers and find it too large for my slacks. Feels funny to have such a large phone on belt clip but I have no choice. The S4 fit nicely, with no case, in my slacks front pockets.

I have the Zerolemon 10k battery & case with holster and it fits in my front pocket with no issue. I will admit when sitting down it is a little uncomfortable but standing up is no issue. When sitting down I usually rotate the clip 90° and clip it to my pocket.

Great case, and I have it also, but how do you carry it on your body? Pant, holster, ect? I just didn;t care for the way you get it out of it's holster, a real PIA.
Levis 501 jeans. Back pocket. Fits perfectly even with a case.

Otter Box Defender, belt clip, on hip. Don't even know it's there.
Just opened the Otter Box on my retired Evo LTE to recycle the micro SD card...
No surprise, the device is absolutely mint!

Love that case also, nice and secure on the belt clip. But how do you get the case off the holster with one hand? Dose that top clip loosen up a bit after time? One reason I like the Seidio holsters. Currently using the Spigen bounce case and the Seidio holster for the Dilex case, which I also have also but the rubber is too soft.
Still working on the one hand release, get it about every 3rd time.

That's the one reason I didn't get one. .. Too many reviews with people dating that even with 2 hands, it can be challenging.

Honestly, I was an HTC fanatic and coming from the EVO 4G LTE to the Note 3 I must say wow!
The Note3 is big, but it feels secure unlike the EVO. The screen hasn't gotten Lil swirly marks like HTC's "gorilla glass". That's with using the Spen just begging to scratch the screen. I've had no trade embargo negative features from pending lawsuits. Also, no dead pixels or Google wallet breaking from factory resets. 3gb of RAM! This is multitasking with no custom tweaks enabled after months of tedious work.
Sorry about the rant. I wanted to see if this phone could hold up to a week or so of no case. I haven't dropped it yet, but despite being in pockets and etc. there are no screen scratches or blemishes of any kind. HTC pushes build quality yet this phone is so much better.
Anyways, I spent too much to get a case atm. Debating on otterbox but naked for now. Thanks for maybe reading my first post in a long while. U get thirsty out there in the desert looking for old jewels.
I use the Triton Kraken Case for mine. Was a HUGE Otterbox fan for a long time...well that's the past now. Best case ever!!

I've been thinking about getting the Kraken too. I particularly like that they have the window mount that just snaps onto the back and then onto the ball of the window mount. Perfect for in the car either running Nav, or streaming music..etc.
I ordered the i-Blason case from Amazon for my Note 3. It's silicone & a hard shell both at once. Soft silicone wrapped around the phone while the hard outer shell grips around the back like the facehugger from Aliens...from all sides.
It comes with a swivel clip belt holster that faces the screen so only the back is exposed to the world, but since the silicone is very soft & flexible, I don't use it because it's a pain to insert & remove in a hurry when the phone is ringing. I suppose it'd be all right if I had a bluetooth headset. But...no matter!
I carry it in my breast pocket in my jacket, currently. But when it gets warmer, I suppose I'll buy a bluetooth headset & put it in it's belt holster & clip that big 'ol monster to my waist.

Being I'm on the road all day, I use it everyday! The window mount is extremely well built too! Only thing that is annoying is you have to unclip the kickstand to use the window mount...but that's it. Otterbox drove me crazy with the rubber always stretching and deforming. They will replace it, but just drove me nuts. The Kraken, the rubber jacket is inside the case. Plus unlike the Otterbox, I really think I could drop my phone off a building and it would still be 100%. SOLID freaking case! It's worth every penny.
I use the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. It fits comfortably in my front suit jacket pocket.
Owned my N3 for a week and I only have it in my pocket which may change upon getting the zerolemon 10k mAh battery and I might use the clip with it. Probably not, but maybe lol. Fits perfectly into my pocket w/ no excess popping out.
I wear mine on a big gold chain ala FLAV O' FLAV!!! BOYYYEEE. Lol. Couldn't resist.

Haha I saw this thread and I was just thinking the same haha. you beat me to it.
I've read through a lot of the posts regarding cases, and have been considering the Logitech keyboard case, but honestly, the reviews aren't very good for the case as far as securing and protecting the device. I'm mainly concerned about the screen getting cracked or scratched during transit. My pro will spend most of its time on my desk but will have a lot of time in my backpack between classes. At the moment it's sharing space with my Mac Book Air in a soft briefcase-type of thing. I was hoping for something a lot like the Zagg keyboard case I have for my iPad 4. I don't care much about the keyboard since the Zagg pairs nicely with my Pro, and I plan to use the stylus 99% of the time.
Any recommendations or ideas? The Zagg for my iPad is pretty low quality as far as the keyboard is concerned but I've never worried about traveling with my iPad when it's in that case. It's a real beast!
Although I don't have one, my vote goes to the Speck Stylefolio .
1. You say you don't need a keyboard since you already have one that works.
2. Having the flip cover protects the screen while in your bag.
3. The flip cover does not have any magnets which means no interference with S-Pen functionality.
OtterBox. Period. Adds some major weight and size, but if you truly want what you're describing - in regards to the most protection any case out there can offer - then there you have it. It's also $130. Best $130 you'll spend on your nearly $700 tablet. A little steep, but your investment is just a tid-bit steeper, don't you think?
I purchased this one off a recommendation here. It protects it nicely but I will be trimming it around the buttons as it covers them slightly. And annoys the crap out of me.

I do have the Speck Stylefolio, and it provides great overall protection with minimal bulk, and securely holds the Note Pro. Quality materials, worth the cost.
=GO=
You can find iPad Case at www cell-phonecover com.
I have both the Samsung flip cover, which has no bulk and the Samsung Keyboard case. Had the logitech, and it damaged the corner by the spen by chipping the finish off the tab.
The flip cover corners have cracked and kinda fits looser. I only use it if I'm doing a site walk outside for work. Other than that, if it's on your desk most of the time, I would recommend a stand of some sort that doubles as a cover.
Has anyone come across a holster/belt clip that doesn't require a case? I got one from Amazon, but the case is so giant, that without it the DT2 basically falls out of the clip.
I know Seidio made one for old Turbo, hopefully they release one for this one also eventually, but for now hoping for something sooner.

I am using the holster from my Turbo 1 Dilex Pro case. The naked Turbo 2 fits great in this holster.
Thanks for the response! It's snug in the T1 Dilex? No wobble? I tried some other T1 cases and it wouldn't even fit, and the T2 clips I found so far only work with giant heavy-duty protection cases.
I ended up using this one daily for now, with very good results, the Bomea Premium Leather Case for the Turbo, found it on Amzn. I actually find that since it's larger, being horizontal makes it feel less bulky on the side. But it's not great with a wider jeans belt, only with dress belts.

Yes Its snug in the T1 Dilex holster. No wobble at all. I'm happy with it. Even if they came out with a holster for the "naked" phone I wouldn't get one. This works fine for me and since I already had it there is no point for me to spend anymore money.
I actually used the Blackberry Priv leather holster. It's fits wonderfully as they are comparable in size. Here are the measurements in mm: Priv: 147x77.2x9.4, Droid Turbo 2: 149.9x78x9.2
