Anyone have any experience with this case on this phone or any other phone? Looks like a straight rip off of the TakTik for the iPhone. I love the look of it! I'm tempted to buy one and see how it is.

I was looking into one and searched and found one video on YouTube looked nice but in the video was pretty much impossible to use the s pen would love to know more myself
I'm w8ting mine m8 but I suppose it will arrive here in Greece in Christmas

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.

So I was laying down and the phone slide off my wireless charger I knocked it off actually and it literally fell 2 feet and cracked hit the corner of the screen had the case on my phone the stock case but it offers no protection. So I'm really hoping the replacement phone doesn't come with ota update then I'd be able to root. Crossing fingers and now I have to get a really good case for this phone that offers protection.

I agree, I think that I have the same "stock case" he speaks of LOL (The flexible tpu case they sell). I have dropped my phone at least 8-10 times out of my car, my 2 ex's trucks, and several other potentially catastrophic drop situations. No scratches, chips, dents, not a mark. I guess I got a digital angel over my shoulder lol.

So they replaced your phone even though the screen was cracked? How did you go about getting them to do that, or did you pay for some replacement plan or repair service..

I had mine on a wireless charger on a table about 5ft up. I got up to get some water, stepped on the wire and the device launched in the air about 8-9 ft with stock case. Landed face down on the screen. I thought it was totally done. I pick it up and not one scratch. I guess some are just luckier than others . I drop my phone from 5 feet+ all the time doing bunny hops on my bike when it falls out of my pocket and never any scratches. I think this phone is really strong and durable. Can I see a picture of the device? It hurts to see such a great device and such terrible condition.

So I've been looking around for an aluminum protective case for my note 3 since it came home. As most of you have heard from others, the full aluminum cases despite the protection, suffer from drastic signal loss. I figured I couldn't go wrong with an aluminum bumper and bought two awesome looking bumpers off ebay. One is a gorgeous solid aluminum bumper with no hole for mic but really nicely made and a thin aluminum bumper with all openings. The biggest drawback of both of these bumpers is that there is no camera protection. As all of you have noticed the rear camera is raised a bit, which makes these bumpers a no go if your laying it down on rear. I saw a full protective case on Ebay that was composed of three pieces : aluminum frame, silicone style case and aluminum rear with a cutout. I went ahead and ordered for a measly $14 and some change, thinking it wouldn't be a big loss. My package arrived today from Hong Kong and I couldn't be happier. I absolutely love it. It is the exact look and feel I wanted. For those who want a nice solid aluminum case with no signal loss I recommend you get one. I hardly write stuff on here but I felt compelled to share my experience.
Here's the link to ebay ad.

I'm pretty sure its for NFC as well. Plus it helps with reception as opposed to solid rear cases with affect reception. Personally I'd like to see someone step it up and make some premium CNC cut luxury cases lime they make for iphones with nicely made cut outs in rear. I reached out to three of those companies today , like MeeJoJo and 2 of them said only iphones and s4 's.
These are just some cnc cases for iphone 5s that I'd like to see for our phones.
I think that case is ugly and weird looking. I think it makes the phone look like a plain block of metal. Maybe it would look better if it was black anodized aluminum.

Had something similar for my previous Note 2. These metal cases tend to cause the phone signal to degrade. Hope you guys won't experience that problem.

I don't like skinomi protectors on anything with a pen input. It just doesn't slide well. Back protection, sure. Sides, sure. Screen? No way.
The only one I did like with the pen input was the HTC view and that had a different stylus.
I've had skinomi for my note 10, note 8, and a bunch of phones. They work well on the phones (S4, s3, droid razr etc) but with the s-pen it felt terrible. Constantly dragging and digging into the skin. Just not an enjoyable experience.
When I initially installed the protector on my note 10, I gave it two days to settle before using it, and it wasn't enough. I had to leave the thing sit for over a week before it was acceptable and that's not something I have the luxury of doing with my phones. I had even contacted customer support and they were the ones to suggest letting it sit for at least a week before using.
I could assume it was just the amount of solution used, but I've used skinomi products enough to know what I'm doing and I won't waste my time using them for anything with pen input now.
I bought 2 of the skinomi clear ones during the sale. Thanks for the fyi. I just installed the sides and the back one for the camera and use a tempered glass for the front. So far I like it and it gives the phone better side grip. Although I probably wouldn't have bought it if it was regular price however. It would be nice if they just sold the sides and the camera one separately.

I posted a video on it. Good coverage
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/01-Metal-Cas...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4ace4c53bd&_uhb=1
It's a little on the expensive side, but I'm curious about a couple of things if anyone has ever used it:
1) They say that it's metal + tempered glass, so does it impede signal at all?
2) It looks thicker than the original back cover, so I wonder if it can accommodate a slightly thicker battery; even if I have to shave the inside of the case a bit.
The back is like the iPhone, glass. I can't say about reception I have not used any aluminum cover/bumper.

The back looks really cool, but other metal battery covers have been known to impede reception. I too would like to know if this does or not.

We the case arrived today and IMHO the quality is great and it adds the high end feel and look that I was looking for and does not affect the signal one bit. Now the cons are it does add some thickness to the phone. it basically levels out with the camera lens but slightly higher so it does not scratch. and second it you have fat fingers with no nails the s pen may bug you taking it out of phone. Ill post pics in am I left my s3 at work

majority of the sellers selling these are from china or hong kong, during these 2-3 weeks, it's chinese new year, and it's hard to find a seller from the us or uk selling these, these product are too new, may be after a few months or so you may find a non chinese seller.

Pics too please, interested to see what this thing looks like from a real user. Also I noticed it seems like plastic inside and material outside. Is it actually glass?

it's plastic inside so it can clip onto the phone.
There are about 7-8 colours available.
Yes mine came from China ordered on 10th got here on 23rd

As you can see one corner is slightly lifted and yes the inside is plastic but the out is the glass like the nexus

I've had this case on my GNex, my G2, and now my G3. Always great quality and feel for the case. I usually get black but this time I got red. Normally I give this case a perfect score but I'm not liking the company logo in the center of the Android this time. I have this case and the Spigen slim armor and recommend both. This TPU case feels thinner obviously.
I feel the same way about the logo. I hope this phone becomes popular enough for them to male a few different styles. Cruzerlite has always been top notch in quality and customer service for me.

I really like these cases (I've had one on my Nexus 7 2013 for almost a year now), however, I've noticed as you mentioned the TPU is very thin. The case is great, but it has become stretched out in one corner over time and now it just looks a little weird, even though its not extremely noticeable unless you are holding the device. Are any of these issues still present in the newer ones? I was thinking about picking one up for my G3, but I don't want to to get stretched out and look bad or cause damage to the phone if it comes off during a drop.
I've never had that problem with any of the cases I've owned. Might be a tablet case problem. These cases have been solid for me.

I was considering this since the reviews say that it's still pretty slim while also providing decent protection. My question, though, is what is the texture of the case? Does it feel grippy?
I want a case that has some kind of traction in my hands so that it feels secure without me having to always feel like I should have an iron grip on it.
I have a Ghostek hard case which does offer a bit more trip than the stock back of the phone, but honestly not by much. I want something that will stay in my hands.

It has a smooth feel but not too slick. It doesn't feel sticky link the cases they had at the Verizon store. I wouldn't call the best grip but it's worked for me so far. My old Cruzerlite case on my GNex had ridges on the side that gave a better grip. The G3 model does not.
For $10 on Amazon, I think it's worth a go if to aren't looking for something that feels tacky.
It's a soft rubber feel to it. Not slippery. Best way to describe it is a "matte" feel to it. I like it.

Do you happen to have experience with a Nexus 5 to compare?

If I remember correctly it was the same material they used on the LG Dare for the back. Yes very similar to that rubberized plastic.

I have to agree about the company logo in the middle of the Android mascot. I used this case on the Nexus 5 and now on the G3 and I love it. Great drop protection and a nice non-slip rubbery feel

I think you'll be very happy with this case
Thanks, everyone. I had my girlfriend order it for me. I should have it by Saturday so we'll see how I like it.

I ordered one of these today also, I had one on my s3 and I liked that it had ridges on the sides to give u better grip. Hopefully this will work for me, I like that it is clear and will show off the design of this phone. This is the first phone I've ever owned that I feel like I can use it without a case because of the feel of it. Better b safe then sorry though.

I had 3 of these for my Galaxy s 3. I love them. I'll definitely be ordering a few for my G3 soon.
Just got my white one in for my white g3. Feels awesome! Everyone that ordered theirs in this thread should be excited! Thanks for the recommendation OP!

Any pictures? I'm thinking picking s couple of these up because the Android logo is the best part.

No I have a Spigen tempered glass one so its slightly thicker than a normal one. Its .23mm thick so I wasn't sure if it would distort the case or not.
