I seem to like the Poetic Invictus Hybrid Case with the kick stand, just wonder how it feels.
If the invictus is anything like the one for the note 3 I'd stay away.. Very glossy and slippery kind of like a naked galaxy s3...but the part that was a deal breaker was the buttons were near impossible to press so much so that they offered buyers the option to return it for another case free of charge... Maybe they revised the buttons on this one though... The kickstand leaves alot to be desired as well

I've got one coming, so I will let you know...
All I know is that for THAT low price, its worth trying..
I ordered about 5 different Amazon cases, and I think the most expensive one was 8 bucks, so at those kind of prices, why not?
No reason not to at that price. I just paid 20$ for a cheap tpu case at VZW today.

yep, buying cases/screen protectors, or any accessories at any of the phone stores is a monumental rip off...The same manufacturers who package stuff for Verizon/ATT/Sprint sell their stuff on Amazon in a plain package for about 80-90% less...
I'm planning on ordering something from amazon and taking this back.. I didn't trust myself for a week while I waited for it to ship here.
Sent from my HTC6600LVW using xda app-developers app
I ordered some stuff from amazon a couple of days before I got the phone, so I only had 2 days with no protection until stuff started coming in from Amazon..Keep the Verizon stuff until you get your amazon stuff. They give you 30 days to return stuff, don't they?
That hybrid style is probably the best case I've seen. They need to make a holster for it.

Any updates on how these cases are?
I got this one the other day
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Black-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00FY9OPCQ
its nice, but very thin, no real protection for the top or bottom; its more like a thin hard plastic shell, that will protect the back of the phone from scratches, but thats about it. No lip to protect the screen if you turn it face down, so,its more decorative than protective..
Bought the one with kick stand, garbage save your $.

Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.
Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

My location just received them also today. It does not interfere with the noise canceling mic. The platinum series cases are exactly the same as the surface series cases by seido (they make them for best buy). Retail is $34.99 for the case and clip.
35 for both clip and case?!?!? Isn't that 50 on their own site

The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.
Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.
I tend to use BodyGlove Mirage case with seemingly sturdy Platinum holster. Haven't seen either yet for I-777?????

I bet you look like I did in best buy when I tried one on my phone and couldn't get it off. It took a long time and a few sales associates to figure it out.
Use something small and sharp to slide in the minuscule crack along the backside where it joins. Then push that tool down to un-notch it.
That was enough of a PITA for me not to buy the case.

I couldn't disagree any more. The cases are manufactured by Seido which has an excellent reputation online for quality cases. It is their "surface" case rebranded. I will say that the all black color is kind of plain and may not have the "charm" you desire, however I like the simple look. They have felt inside the case to protect the phone from scratching so I'm not sure why you stated it beats up the phone.
To each his own as they say...

this isnt the only case hard to remove. the otterbox cases are just as hard ive had it on 3 different phones the iphone, captivate, and the atrix 4g. u will have just as much trouble and the outside skin covering the hard case on the otterbox will stretch to where it wont stay on. the platinum seidio case i had on my nexus was 10x better than otterbox and the same price and had 3 layers of protection versus 2 for otterbox.
I have had this case for about a month now and love it. I've tried a bunch of cases including the armor shield and I keep coming back to this case. I think its incredibly light and adds almost no bulk. Plus the holster is awesome. The back is a little tricky to get off but after you find the right place to apply pressure to its easy. Took me a few tries but I can unsnap it no problem now. I do like the snap it makes it feel secure.
One note, don't try and put and armor suit on your phone then put it in this case. It will not come back out without some serious prying. I actually am impresses the case is still fully functional with no scratches or anything after I practically had to pry it from the sides of the phone.

I have used Seidio cases/holsters on my smart phones for the last 5 years. On Black Friday, I went to BestBuy and bought 2 case/holster combos for $45. One of these is $49 on the Seidio site. So now, when the holster spring cracks in 6 months, I still have a spare. Quick review.... The case is snug, fits perfectly, has all the correct cutouts, and is secure. And it is easy to get on or off once you get the "feel" for the clip on the back. The holster build quality is the best I have ever had from Seidio. They clearly are improving their product. I have no concerns of it falling off my belt, or popping out of the holster. And it is still easy enough to get the phone out with one hand.
I just got this case/holster at Best Buy today.
I've been a Seidio fan for several years now, this is my 3rd Seidio holster. The previous ones (for HTC Kaiser and HTC Rhodium) didn't require a separate case - they just held the phone "naked". I do like that this case has holes for both the I777 and the international version's placement of the noise-canceling mic.
But ... yeah, it's a bugger to remove the case from the phone until you get the hang of it.
For giggles, I tried out my SGP Neo Hybrid EX bumper case with the Seidio holster - it fits like a glove, so that's another option.
Cool, what kind of screen protector that you have on your phone?
Seidio accessories are now up for Pre-Order. Can't wait for the car dock.

No. Get the surface case by Seidio. It's the best combination of protection and thinness:

It all depends on which one you get. The surface is very nice for a day to day case which is what I have right now and it looks like the active is an inbetween. The convert combo is the most rugged of all of them. and the thickest.
Will
Hmmm...I said I'd never buy seidio again but the surface may be my best option at this point. Hopefully it fits better than the one I had for my galaxy s II.

NP, Me as well, I am debaiting between a couple of them, since I see that there is a Convert Combo pack which includes the Surface Case & Holster / Convert Case & Holster. as well as a screen shield from them as well. I have this same thing now but don't use the convert much at all. I am not sure if I want to go with the Surface Kit or the Active Kit, thinking active just to be safe. and its got a nice metal kickstand.

Agreed. Mine still looks close to new as well. Now if someone can just find a coupon for this, would be bonus.
I think I paid 19$ for my evo 4g active. Just kills me to pay close to full price of $30, when you know it costs like 20 cents to produce.
I have the active on my 3D and love it. Had the surface on my 4G and liked how thin it was but it fit loosely and scratched the edges of the phone. If they made the active with the kickstand accessible I would have ordered it yesterday. I need a case with a holster because I am a mechanic and can't keep my phone in my pocket.

I just want a Seidio holster, no case this time around! I have over $300 in Otterbox(all 3), Seidio, etc. cases for my Evo 3D just sitting in a drawer never touched. All I ever use is the $25-30 Seidio belt holster that I purchased on sale from Amazon for $2.95 and free shipping. Was the same way with my Evo 4G. I always go case crazy an buy most of the big name cases out there. Not doing it again this time!! I may buy 1 nice case just to be prepared if I'm out doing something where I'll need the phone protected. Otherwise just a Seidio belt holster an I'm all set!

That's the route I took as well....I always buy a Seidio case...this time I just got the holster for the naked phone. Tired of having a great looking phone that I never see. Unfortunately the damned holster showed up on Friday and it's sitting on my desk taunting me with the images of the phone that I am not allowed to have.
Plus no matter how good the case is, they can't replace the feel of the naked phone...
anyone know of the lowest price for the seidio surface case? (or coupon codes used to get it lower)
shopandroid and htcpedia dont have it
seidio is offering 10% off via code: FB10
but you have to pay tax (at least in texas) and shipping
also, the PT/Platinum series at best buy is the exact same case, but its $35 (at least online).

I usually get mine through Amazon, but I don"t think it will be available there for a while. I used show2012 for 15 percent off yesterday. Still seems to work. My sister just cracked the screen on her nexus. So its made me paranoid and I don't want to be without a case.
Ended up going with the active case this time. I had the rugged extended on my Evo 4g. Trying for something a little thinner this time. I'm too hard on my phone for just the surface case. Even after almost 2 years my Evo still looks brand new. Wife has the active and it feels pretty nice.
I have had a seidio case on my last 5 phones going back to the Mogul. I have cracked a few seidio cases, but there always was a pretty good drop associated with it. I look at it this way, If my phone cartwheels down a drive way and I trash the case, it did its job. Ill buy a new case.

i had the active (actually two different ones, I had to get a replacement shipped to me) on my evo for almost all of the last 2 years. i took it off a month or so ago because i got an extended battery. looks almost brand new.
Im going with surface because i think i can handle a little less protection based on my habbits (never cracked/broken any phone in 8 years as cell phone owner)
I have an active on my 3D and love it. Just wish the one for the LTE allowed access to the oe kickstand. I had a surface for my OG, but the edges of the phone got scratched from the plastic on plastic contact.

eBay has a great selection and variety. I got the i9100 tpu case for a $1.30. The only difference is the top mic hole is in a different spot, which is easy to fix. There is also a small extra hole for the strap, but the i777 doesn't have this. It shipped from Hong Kong and takes around two weeks, but its really cheap. There are also plenty of other cases that you can choose from, just browse eBay.

Hit the various AT&T Corp Stores in your towns. All the cases they have/had for the i777 are on their clearance rack for $5 each. I've picked up 4 cases in 2 different cities for $5/each. CaseMate/Ballistic, all the good aftermarket brands that AT&T sold for $30 when the phone 1st came out. Again, this is for corporate owned AT&T stores. Have no idea about the authorized retailers.
Im using the tpu s line on both this guy and my nokia. Nice and simple, cheap, and primarily not bulky like other stuff out there.
i love my case and its cheap. doent get stuck in your pocket or collect lint. covers the whole housing. very nice tight fit. has an ok design on it. had it for awhile now and its held up great. doesnt make the phone bulky at all either. the case is just right and i love it. was worth the money for sure. i had the cheap 3 dollar silicone case from ebay and that thing sucked so bad i hated it lol. i highly recommend this case to anybody looking for one on the cheap but fits the phone nice and does wut its suppose to

Not $10 but a good deal!
I had a white Case-Mate POP Case for about 7 months but after some drops i wanted to replace it. I purchased the first one from a AT&T store for $35 the day I got my phone and didn't care about price just wanted a case to protect my phone. I recntly purchased this black one from there site for under $20 it was $19 and some change, and I ordered the phone thursday morning and recieved if from Fedex friday afternoon and that was with free shipping. So I know it's not $10, but this is a great case from a good manufacturer. My favorite thing about the case is the stand and the volume and power buttons have great feedback.

I bought this case from Ebay as well. I found the power and volume buttons difficult to push and when trying to get the volume to go up or down was difficult as it seemed to want go both directions when pressing it.
I use the AGF Magnate case. Can be found at all4cellular for $8.
I got another case and a bit bored, so might as well post pictures of this if anyone out there was curious about clear cases on this phone. It's been a very long time since I had a clear case, but I thought it would look well with the white Note 3. I actually like it. For now until it gets dirty. I like it better than the Spigen Bounce case. Both do feel different in the hand because the Bounce case has a fully matte texture. Both are slim.
Pros
- Border/Bumper is TPU
- Back side is hard poly carbonate/plastic
- Holes/ports match up
- Buttons are easy to press
- Looks good on white (I don't have a black one to check out)
Cons
- Back side can get scratched
- If it gets dirty inside the case, it'll show.
- If your phone is dirty, it'll show.
I got it on Amazon, just copy the title of this topic and search it there.
EDIT:
I'll just post a link, might as well.

Thanks. I agree about the scratches. I already see some because I was spinning the case when trying to take pictures, but if you have a white phone, it's hard to spot unless you're under direct light or there's a lot of scratches in one area. It's probably easier to see with the black version.
Just got mine yesterday also. I agree with the OP review and will say the case is better than I expected for $10. Samsung makes a case very simaler to this one for Note 2, S4, etc. It's a little bit better, waiting for the Note 3 version to eventually come out...
I almost got that one cuz I want to be able to see the phone but opted for a gel one, should be here in a day or two and we can compare em.

I got this last Thursday and I am glad I did when I went to best buy Friday to get the note 3 they had zero cases. It's a nice case and shows off the back very nicely.
damn pretty much exactly what im looking for but shows unavailable
i ordered mine earlier in the week. out for delivery today hope its nice!!
Well, this case is back in stock, but the prices has been raised unfortunately. I don't think any TPU type of case is worth over $10 unless there are designs on it, but that's just my opinion.
This case isnt that great returned it after, a day the back was scratched . Nice idea poor design or material

Get the one I got for 3 dollars shipped and delivered in 3 days, been using it for a couple of days now and haven't even thought of putting my Caseology back on. I totally forget there is a case on it and can appreciate the looks of the phone plus this is tpu and won't scratch and it is not flimsy in the least. The sell counter on Ebay says its sold close to 500 cases, good to see so many Note 3 owners taking advantage of a good deal.
I just realized it comes in four colors too.

Any clear case will be scratched (I'm not talking about matte frosted cases). There's none that's scratch resistant.

Yup, I figure better the case than the phone! Plus these things are so cheap, if it starts looking really bad after a few months, just throw it away and get something else.
I got the one with the black around it. I like it.

I got one and like it. Nice fit, holes line up for all ports, low profile. I did look closely and notice some very light scratches on the clear back. Guess I'll try something else when the scratches become too visible.
Update: my Luvvitt case looked so scratched up that I ditched it and got a Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case. I've been *really* happy with the Diztronic - great design, lightweight, holds up great, no scratches or marks, and has protected my phone on the few occasions when I dropped it.
I love clear tpu type cases but I find most of them turn yellow after a while so I have to keep buying them.

I got one of these. I also own a bunch of other cases. I thought this case was noticeably heavier than others.

This is the one I bought for my evo lte the 2nd skin sent wrong color would not send a 3rd cracked screen happened fall from ear to a clean tile floor. The one I had on my htc one was stretched and missing charge plug when replaced with a wallet when my wife got it last month
Yeah I pre-ordered from a online Canadian website.
$59.99 free shipping, but they are still waiting for stock.
I'll wait until they are on Amazon/eBay for around $25.

Yep case on I just stuck it on my desk and put a 19.95 used basic phone I had on my line my htc one on her line and went to sprint to trade the basic in on a note 3. I was trying to hold off for the one max and nexus 5 to release but still would have gotten the note seeing them
Used to love their products,
Bought otterbox for my n900 and 9790 and each broke in screen cover and port after a few months, seems like the material is not durable enough for long usage..
Im gonna pass this one
they need to step up their game though, other brands offer advantages such as wireless charging s view etc

I do not work for them, but I recall having great customer service experience with them. They would ship me out a failing part no worries.
Got it online from one of local supplier here..the price is rip off same like the original..even the supplier convince me its the original otterbox commuter note 3..but i doubt it as the official otterbox website only inform its going to be available soon..
Here the link..

I ordered defender. I have to for work. Some otterbox defenders have been bad but note 2 was great, rebound great, thunderbolt sucked. They always replaced parts for me. Loose outer skin is fixed by putting in boiling water.

Got my base defender case from a local seller here in aus. . Not bad case have a screen protector on and the built in screen protector on the case still allows for key presses to be registered easily. The case itself is quite strong yeah the rubber outter may stretch if you are taking the case off and on all the time but the boiling water trick works a treat. It also did not add as much bulk to the entire phone as I have imagined. The last case I had was normals sized not a slim or anything and this otterbox is only marginally wider. Also do notice the the raised sides around the bezel and over the camera nice touch
I ordered a Commuter case within 5 minutes of getting the email from Otterbox, ordered it with two day shipping so I could get it by the weekend. I just checked the status and Otterbox didn't ship it until today and delivery is expected monday. I feel totally hosed by them now, very poor way of doing business if you ask me.:crying:
