I use the elago slim case. It's fits really well and doesn't add any bulk. I got it off amazon for around 18 bucks after shipping.

Add the Seidio Active Holster with the Speck case and you'll be set.

Does it actually hold the phone well? I have the elago S4 case and would love to use a holster like that

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

I got a clear one, both form and function are just fine. Got it from this guy $1.99 delivered.
Try fortte.com. They will customize any case in anyway shape or form as you instructed. Bought two cases for HD2 and Mesmerize.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

If you want a case close to otterbox quality, then get a Reiko case off Ebay. It 10 buck cheaper, but feel like 35.

Hey guys!
Im looking to get the Note on a concession line from my job (That or the S3, and I have a serious love for the note) and have been looking around for some fun accessories before I take the plunge. Im curious, is there an aluminum back cover for the I717 note, or is it specific to the international variant?
Also, any case recommendations would be great. Im leaning toward the Kraken because of the durability and belt clip...Im just a little concerned about the size. Ive had trident before and cred them whenever possible. They have fantastic products. Thanks!
You could get a glass screen protector and a tpu case if thickness gets you. I have an otter box right now and its easily 2x as thick

Our Note has an NFC antenna in the convert that would be shielded by metal. ICS enabled NFC.

I've got a Trident case for mine. They offer a lot of protection but not as bulky as otter box. Reasonable on the price as well.
so my question is will the battery cover fit? because i don't really care about the NFC function.
Just a heads up. I discovered it, just browsing the threads. I saw bodyglove had a case. i searched it, and directly from their site, the case is only $6.25 with free shipping :good:. Here's the link. http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/catalog/htc-droid-dna,122.htm
I ordered 1, so I'll give my personal opinion after I receive it. I currently use the otterbox, but i hate the bulk. I figure for 6 bucks, I'll try it.
COUPON ODES STILL WORK THANKS NIMRODSV AND BIGJEW92. They have to be entered in all caps. BGMAF15 15% BGMPAY25 25%. You can only use 1. I just tried them both.
also, use coupon code BGMAF15 and get an extra 15% off so the total comes to $5.76 with free shipping! woohoo
Just got it today. I actually ordered it last Thursday. Feels nice on the phone. No bulk. I just hope it holds up to drops half as good as the otterbox. Now I need to order a screen protector. I forgot about it because the otterbox came with it. I like it so far.. Good job BG.

How does the case feel? Is it sticky like silicone, or smoother like tpu? Does it make the pocket come inside out when taking it out?

Ordered one yesterday. I've been looking for a case. I have some concerns about this one that I'm not sure are valid (can't feel it so I don't know). But even if I don't like it, it's only $6.

Its pretty smooth. Has rugged edges, it doesn't stick to my pocket like some rubbery cases. Its like a tpu case, except has more of a hard plastic case feel. I watched a couple YouTube videos on it before I ordered it. I like it so far. Hopefully I don't have to drop test it before I get my screen protector. Hope this answers your questions.

I've been meaning to get an Otterbox case as I have 3 for my iphones(love those Otterboxes). This looks like it may be cool to use in the meantime.
I've been using this case since I got my phone, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. Note that the rear notification light will be covered by the case, but the material is easy enough to drill a hole through.
Thanks for this! Everyone needs to see this! Just ordered mine last night!

getting mine today. very excited to test this case out.
Just got it in the mail today. Overall, I think its pretty nice. A great deal for the money. I like that Volume and Power still feel like buttons. I also like that the sound flows better when the phone is on it's back.
Just ordered! thanks for sharing this great deal!

Love this case, for some reason makes the phone feel thin, and offers great grip and doesn't get finger prints or smudges, body glove did a great job on the drop suit.

Anyone with the first batch of otterbox defender case for the note 3? If so care to post some pictures and a short review based on the previous design for the note 2? As well as does the screen protector that's built in better or worse than the previous design?

to answer your questions as best I can from MY EXPERIENCE.( on note 2 )
The protection factor is top notch.. however, bulk is detracting from phone styling- the volume and power buttons require much more pressure to activate them. also, the built in plastic screen shield which is built into the front outer shell, is rather ugly- floats above the phone, rainbow effects usuaally- humidity gathers below it and actual screen. and holsster is susceptible to breakage when exiting, entering your vehicle. ( happened twice to me..otterbox warranteed both times.
all outlets and ports are covered by a durable flap door, and once opened, access is easy. so my review- from 1 to 10, 10 being best is 9.. penaly for tough buttons and rather blandness/bulkiness of case size.. something like commuter might be less bulky- with less protection..thats where my curiosity of other cases comes in..( ie trident aegis, uag, seidio etc.): but- if you go with otter defender, the plastic screen can be removed ( voids warranty though) and you can use a spg type protector to avoid the ranbows, humidity buildup. I just traded up to the Note 3 myself- so decided on Trident Krakken ( returned UAG Case) Removal and install is a Major Headache.
I have the note 2 as well as the otterbox on it lol

Just picked up my Otterbox today at the sprint store. It does add bulk but I love the belt clip.

Picked my Defender up today. Overall it looks really good. Unlike my Note 2 Defender case, the note 3 defender doesn't seem to be as bulky.
Getting the inner shell on was tight. Damn tight, but it went on.
I run defenders on all my phones. This is the best one as far as form and fashion that I've owned.
The Best Buy website showed that one of my 2 local Best Buy stores (within 1 mile from each other, but one is a Best Buy Mobile in the mall) had the Commuter in stock earlier today. I drove up there to check it out, but they didn't have any. I checked their site again while in store and it didn't show either store having it any more. I didn't plan to buy it anyway, just wanted to check it out and see how it looked and fit. Their site also showed them having the Qi compatible battery door. Even though their site DID still show it being available while I was there, they couldn't find it even though their system also showed them having 2 in stock. About an hour after getting home, and 2 hours after they had closed, an employee who I left my name & number with texted me saying that she did find the Qi battery door and was going to hold it for me!

I could not imagine it being bulkier than the Note 2 Defender. That thing's a brick!
Otterbox should come out with an Armor Series for the Note 3! If someone tries to jack you for your phone you could swing it around and clobber them in the kisser. That thing would be a weapon!
I'd buy one because it would be the equivalent of a toughbook but in a phone...
How about the commutee

Does anyone know if a Tempered glass screen protector can be used with the defender?
I currently use the ballistic case. It works well and has saved my phone several times. Does a case exist that offers similar protection but isn't an obtrusive, oversized brick when its in my pocket?
Thanks!

My wife and I have a Seidio Surface on our HTC Dna's. That we're both happy with. Fit's well and offers solid protection, without making the phone look like a brick.

I have one by bodyglove. It's a thin the case with reinforced corners. Doesn't add very much bulk at all.

I don't know who makes it, but day one of owning my DNA, I hit up the verizon store and bought a $20 soft silicone case because I KNEW I would drop my phone. And drop it I have and no damage whatsoever. I love it! It is small, the only issues I have with it are the charging port can be hard to get open (i pulled my charge tab off) and the power button is a tiny bit recessed in the case. Other than that, it has saved my phone from many of my clumsy mishaps and would definitely recommend it
Go to verizon wireless and search for "high gloss silicone cover for htc droid dna blue"
that is about as close as mine as it gets, mine is see through black/brown and on top where the power button is, it is a hole. seeing this case I might go buy that and give it a go.
Hope this helps
I use an Otterbox Commuter and the case isn't very thick and looks super slick in white.
I've been very happy with my Diztronic case. It's smooth without being slick, not too huge either. Strikes a balance between a slim profile and decent protection.

I used that case for a year and then finally took it off. Got bored of it but it's also slim and very good.

I have a Ballistic case too, but it is the Lifestyle model. It is (in my opinion) exactly what you are looking for. Check it out.
