Hi!
I recently bought the KITVISION MONKEEGRIP tripod from Amazon for my Note 3.
I saw that it was compatible with the Note II so I though it would be with the 3 too, but when I tried it, it wasn't... The Note 3 is too big...
http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00AFSLE1G
Any recommendations?
I'de be interested if you find a solution.
This is a size qupte on itportal, crazy that less then a mm is that much of a difference.
The newer phablet is microscopically taller at 151.2mm compared to the Note 2's 151mm height, and also a shade narrower at 79.2mm (vs the Note 2's 80.5mm width).

If the difference is that small I would shave rubber grip to make it fit, unless you have bumper case or something. Shame on them, they made it fit just right, a lot of people have protective cases and with it Note 2 wouldn't fit either and this would be primary time (mounting/unmounting the phone) when most likely you could have drop it.
I'm thinking of using velcro attached to some plate that could attach to any tripod. My telescope tripod would work perfectly but it's way too big and bulky.e

I am hoping Spigen rolls out a Slim Armor View for the GN3 like they did for the GS4. They have a Slim Armor so I suspect they will offer a view case later one.
Cool Note 3 Cases
Love the leather body of the Note 3. DSstyles.com already have many cases for note 3. But, do we still need a case as the leather body is so nice?!

We need alternatives. I personally think the leather effect sounds a bit tacky, especially the stitching (is the stitching real, or is that imprinted as with the leather effect)
I don't want a case (my Galaxy Nexus is looking a bit scratched, but not noticeably so), I just want a plain back like the Galaxy Nexus (or even better, the Nexus 10)
A couple of cases have started to appear on Amazon. This one comes in many colors:

I've gotten Diztronic cases for my last few phones and I'm waiting to see their N3 variant.
I ended up getting the below. was about 20USD including shipping to me
I also got the below but I got the 3x value pack for 15-20USD including shipping to me. keeping in mind I live in New Zealand so shipping is always the dearest for me compared to rest of world
I'll be happy when these 2 arrive, and hopefully before my note 3, last time I recieved my note 2 before my screen protector, I ended up having that overally large plastic crap with the flap at the end (that it comes on with) for a week lol...
I've always been a fan of spigen, their screen protectors are perfect, it fits around everything with no gaps, unlike some protectors where they get to the home button then just drop vertically down, which means below the home button is open to elements... same with near the front camera etc, above it is open to elements... on other screen protectors I've noticed.

I have ordered the spigen ultra crystal and hybrid case too. But I'm not going to keep my hopes up since the stated shipping date is going to be late September and arriving date is mid October. I think I might get the phone before them come. That's why I bought a cheap tpu from eBay also hopefully to cover it before the two arrives from spigen.

I'm pretty sure that's a guaranteed, that you will be able to replace the current once for something else.
Will some of the Note II cases fit the Note 3?
Lol..
Let somebody get his hands on a Note 3 first

Cool case. Sorry you missed out on the Spigen screen protector promo on Amazon.com they had a (4) pack for $1 for a few hours and I ordered (2) of them along with a Glas.tR Slim. I figure its always better to have spares on hand.
yeah just missed out, still though, that price is better than their website price xD

Hi y'all.
I love the functions of the S-pen. However the physical design leaves a lot to be desired. At least in my clumsy paws.
Samsung makes an S-pen holder that adds a great deal of good ergonomy, sadly though it is made for the pen of the original Note.
You can see an example here:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=160955124637.
Please - does anybody know if the SGN3-pen will fit in this holder? It probably won't be a good fit, but that can be remedied. As long as you can close the holder over the pen and the button works.
Regards
Elo.

No. It's note 1 only accessory. You still can use note 1 pen with note 3 but it will have much less pressure sensitivity levels.
If you need thicker pen go for a wacom bamboo feel.
Hello, I am going to buy the Note PRO 12.2. Could you please give me recommendation? Here are the requirements:
- lightweight
- mostly used on the bus and the train (be sitting or standing. Mostly sitting)
- maybe also while waiting for the bus
- protective against damage due to drop
- ideally and if possible, have different color choices
I plan to add a screen protector as well.
Thanks.
The samsung flip cover is pretty good. Im gonna take one and cut the flap off to use it as a ncoe slim case.

This case has grown on me. The "leather" has softened up a lot, too, and it is very flexible.
I would go with Samsung's own flip cover, but do use a screen protector.

Samsung vs Belkin case
I bought the Belkin case early on from Bestbuy. I am very pleased with it other than the cost (70$). It fits well, turns the tablet on/off and allows many angles of tilt. It has a nice feel and seems to protect pretty well. The magnetic closure is easy to operate but may not hold if you drop it.
I then tried the Samsung case form Bestbuy. It is still expensive and has a sort of cheap feel. It has very limited angles and will likely slip over on many surfaces. I was surprised how poorly it worked! It is a bit more compact but that comes at the expense of less feature and poor protection. I returned it the next day.
I just posted a review for this Exact case on the front page, see if it'll work for you: http://www.amazon.com/Exact-Series-Multi-Stand-Samsung-NotePRO/dp/B00IRLEJZQ
I've owned a slew of Samsung tablets over the years and Samsung has uniformly released overpriced, horribly built cases for their tablets.
The Tab Pro 8.4 case on the other hand is actually a premium quality case. It compares well to my Apple original Mini Retina case except it is much slimmer/lighter (a good thing). An actual leather finish, and a precise fit.
Not cheap but oh so awesome :good:
i like it too and came free with my 10.1 purchase at BB
Just so expensive!!

What is the model number for this case? Where did you purchase it from?
Sent from my SM-T325 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I bought it, and I'm returning it back! The case doesn't protect the tablet as it should: the right side of the tablet stays very exposed (looks like it doesn't cover the whole device), and it's not magnetic to keep it closed - iPad cases are magnetic as well the Poetic case I bought for my Nexus 7 2013 edition. By the way, that Poetic case is very well made, and provides a very good protection to the device. I'm returning the Samsung book case and I'll buy a Poetic for my 8.4.
I'd read some Amazon reviews on the Poetic case. There are claims that the magnets impact the screen negatively. I had an Asuxtek case very similar to the Poetic and found it very bulky.
Also the Apply original case for the Mini does have a slight magnetic grip to keep it closed but is minimal at best.
I read it too today, and for sure it is a real concern. However, it seems to only affect the Note 8, but of course i'm not sure. What I can say is: I have it on my Nexus 7 2013 since brand new and no issues at all. My wife also owns a Nexus 7 2013 and no issues either. But the thing is: if the case starts to cause any issues like those described on Amazon reviews, does it really damage the tablet, or only while using the case?
Just got mine (Samsung case) today from B&H photo...got it barely used for 30 shipped. I feel it's well worth that price. Nearly no added bulk and just enough protection...solid case.
How does it go when using the cover as a kickstand in landscape? It looks similar to the note 8 case which I could not get to stand up correctly, the 2 fold in the case would never stay put and the tablet would fall flat. I want the Samsung case cause of its build quality but only of it does the job it is advertised to do.

I just got my tab and samsung cover tonight. is the magnet on the weak side? it doesn't feel super sturdy and it seems to fall with very little contact.

I understand this. But when I try to use the magnet and cover to "fold" into a stand, the magnet doesn't seem to be very strong. It doesn't take much effort to have it all fold flat and crash to the table/desktop.

I'll have to post up here in a couple days with pics. I ordered a white one. Got the poetic for cheap, seems nice but after reading amazon reviews I'm leery and would rather not risk it. I'm looking for a stand and some protection for travel, I'll post a comparison.
I have a black Samsung book cover for my tab pro 8.4 and so far it works and feels great!

Does anyone have suggestions for buying another pen? I've seen them for $30 & $60. Sort of pricey.

You can get cheap ones on eBay or Amazon. They are just cheap Wacom ones. But they aren't as precise and seem to track about 2mm before the point
Actually, I had an old pen with the my note 4 (phone) and it works fine with the tab s4. I have one in my bag and one on my desk. it is just smaller.
The Pen from my Galaxy Note 2014 Edition also works. The tip is smaller. It was narrow bodied to fit in a recess in the tablet body, works fine, but is uncomfortable to use compared to the bulkier pen that came with the Tab S4. Not something I noticed with the old tablet.
