Has anyone tried, or know about the Tridea View Flip Case?
I want to know if it has the integrated S-View functionality like the OEM and others out there. There aren't any reviews for this case anywhere and the window looks quite a bit smaller than the OEM S-View case which makes me think that it won't behave like the S-View case.
Link to the product:
http://www.amazon.com/Tridea-Samsung-Italian-Standing-Display/dp/B00FBK1MKG
Thanks!!
If they had a black one I'd buy it (not sure why they made a black color for the non-s-view). Also it has a smaller s-view window so i'm skeptical if it'll function like the OEM features.
I bought the black one from eBay. Overall, its a decent case but does add bulk. The S-View function doesn't work, I think it's supposed to have a magnet but there isn't one.
I only use it when I'm out with my kids so they can use it in stand mode.

Forgot to mention that the plastic screen will get scratched up, mine had a hairline one right out of the box.
The card slot is so tight that I don't want to risk even putting one card in there for fear that it would rip.

I have read very good reviews of diztronic tpu cases.....site says available starting tomorrow....
Has anyone owned these for other phones??..how is the quality and fit??

Best TPU case ever, hands down. I had one for my Atrix, and SGS2 and loved them both. Most of my friends, and all my family members have diztronic on their phones and they agree.
I hope they are going to have Matte Black available when they load them on the site today

How does it feel? Is the rubber grippy or is it smooth. This phone needs a Body Glove case for it. I had one on my Infuse and loved it best case I've ever seen.

This case has to be one of the best case for our galaxy note. It fits tight and snug and it double protected with two case. I have tried over four cases and none can compare. With the two cases its still slim, enough and comfortable to hold..... I totally recommend this product. Best of all it comes with a kickstand on the back.

Over 4 cases but no more than five cases and under six cases.
How is the view from the front camera?
The image in the OP & the ebay links appear to show the lip of the case encrouching on the camera & proximity sensor, and almost covering the earpiece.
Yep this is it!!!

It's fine it doesn't affect the camera or the sensor at all. I had another case that was similar to this one but it made the sensor act up a few times. But haven't had any issues with this case!

Picking one of these up this weekend looks awesome. Thanks for the info.
Zenus makes great case for the note with a stand... ... i have the black and blue one. :good:
Great case. I got the white one off ebay for under 10 bux with the belt clip holster. Great size on the kick stand use it a lot even when i hold my phone in landscape mode. Good grip. Only thing i just wish the rubber/silicone was like tpu or something stronger.
Just got the case posted in OP, loving it so far. Highly recommended, and for under $15 shipped, you can't go wrong.
How's the bulk with this case? Is it hard to slide out of your pocket with the silicon?

So the case I am using replaces the back cover. I don't use nfc much, but am I able to just peel the antenna off of the old cover and slap it on the new

I don't think you can peel it off and itll work perfectly cause you could mess it up easily. There are eBay sellers who sell the sticker though and its relatively cheap.
What back are you using though? If its metal the NFC won't work anyway.

Using it right now. Sure it does feel heavy and stuff. Aint water proof more like water resistant the glass panel of the casing easily left a finger print mark. Phone feels solid and sturdy drop it a few times and it sure does give u a peace of mind knowing how well this case protects your phone. To me even if it feels heavy or big or bulky it is well worth it to spend on it rather than letting your phone drop and smashed.

I actually ordered one of these last week for $28 eBay. I'm hoping it is decent. Didn't buy for waterproof just want drop protection. Search the forums other people have reviewed this case. Plus there's some reviews on Amazon.
Damn, that's a sexy case. Only issue would be changing batteries in and out. It's screwed together, correct?

i had one for my S4 and I can tell you the following:
water covering over the earpiece makes it hard as hell to hear anyone
water covering over the speaker makes anything playing out of it dull sounding and not as loud
water covering over the mic makes anyone on the phone sound muffled
Now I took all my water coverings off so it was pretty much a metal otterbox with no waterproof seals and I loved it. Some people didnt like how heavy it was, but it was not a big deal for me.

The back and the sides are not covered by metal so the reception shouldn't be affected.

Great, thanks a lot for your reply. I buy it as fast as possible !
Well whenever I saw the TakTik case for the iPhone I was VERY tempted to jump over the chasm just for that beautiful beast of a case! I've always looked for a case that would mimic the TakTik. If anyone can post a picture or two of it, and also if anyone finds a link for a low price for one, I'm sure all of us will appreciate it!

Found one for $29.90 with free shipping worldwide! There are some a bit cheaper, but I always search for the seller with a decent amount of feedback at 100%. You can also choose from a few colors!
Does anyone know about the screen protector that's built in? How responsive is it?

I got one on my phone everything is functional. Yes s-pen is in there but on exposed there is a mod to hid all items in the top left of the status bar so this way you can leave your s-pen a quarter of the way out and you will be able to pull it out with your finger nail other then that it's great. I had to buy a case with a holster for the 6.3 mega to use it with a holster. I heated up the side of the holster with a heat gun bent them out and now it's no longer a brick in my pocket. Down side it's heave now with the case one hit and you can knock someone out cold with it and still make a phone call when done. Lol I haven't tried. If you guys want pics I'll be happy to post some.

Pretty responsive. It was made of a real glass not sure is it a true corning gorilla glass or just a normal glass for the case screen protector. I'd say worth the money bro. Should get it. Im sorry no picture as i didnt have a phone or xtra phone to take a picture of it

So I have had this for a couple of days now and I have to say it works way better than the 3 stock cover slide in aftermarket receivers I tried.
This factory one works great on the Nokia bases that all the other units choked on.
Now I set it down on them and I don't have to be careful. It just charges. None of that on and off stuff the other after market inserts did.

No new cover needed
I see the S5 has an official cover released now too. But these covers seem to be fatter than stock.
wiqiqi dot com - The Note 3 receiver they're selling here is what I am using without any added thickness and no issues whatsoever. And it's cheaper too.
Is this cover like the stock back cover that makes the camera lens pop out or its like the cases that makes the camera not pop out?
I mean I'm planning to get the aluminum bumpers but I am also looking for a back cover that secures the camera when put on flat surfaces

I am going to be getting the note 3 next week, and I am definitely interested in wireless charging, I've never used it before.
Tell me, please, do you still have access to the USB port when this is installed? Does it replace the original back cover that comes with the phone? How does it connect to the battery? Does it charge slower over wireless than when charging via USB? Does it affect NFC?
I realize these questions could be Googled, but if someone has this unit it would take only a moment to answer. Thank you

It is thicker than the stock back cover, just like the sview cover. The camera is recessed and does not touch anything when you lay the phone on its back. Perfect for a bumper case.

You still have access to the USB port and can charge through the USB port if you like. If you look at the picture you can see pins that stick out.... Those connect to the phone allowing the battery to charge wireless and it does replace the whole back cove and make the phone a little thicker. Lastly it does charge slower especially compared to the thr USB 3.0 cable that comes with the phone. I have not tested nfc as I really don't have a use for it but I'm pretty sure it doesn't affect if if you get the Samsung and not an aftermarket.
