Before I get the responses of (oh this is crap, or why do you want a wooden case or something else, just remember, we all like different things)
So, I'd appreciate any and all "constructive" feedback on these cases or anything someone else might have found in terms of wood cases for the Note 3.
Thanks in advance.

Haven't tried these ones, but my partner has a wood case on her S3 and it is really nice.

I had a wood case for my S3 as well, and can't for the life of me remember where I got it, might have picked it up one weekend in Chinatown when I was out and about in the City (I live in Brooklyn, end up going to the City occasionally on weekends), so if you can remember where your partner got hers, I'd appreciate the tip.
I like the feel of the wood and the one I had for my S3 wasn't slick at all when you held it. It weathered a lot over time and so it made it worth having.
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes I got one of those they it was outstanding. Only problem was, I prefer my phone naked with the OEM wireless charging back.

Not the exact one you posted a link to, but I love this one. That rose finish is awesome, might have to pick one up. Got this one off Amazon for 17.37 after shipping. Was sent from China, got it in a week.

I bought this one, will post pictures/review once I get it, since it's coming from China, said about 2 weeks, they only take paypal for payment.

But i think it's too expansive. Anyway i bought one.
That actually is one of the better looking ones that I have seen. but...
This is a no shame post because I have used the Gel Skin from ATT from day one. I like that I can handle it as if it has no case or cover because its so thin, and I don't have to fold around some kind of case to use it.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...urer=htc&q_model=prod5240321#fbid=Cd8OIMPd4At
Though, this is just my style. I also prefer to not have a case on my EVO.
My roommate has the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 with the bluetooth keyboard case (the brand name escapes me), but its just too much work for me to fold it and use the keyboard. It turns it into a laptop instead of the tablet experience (no peripherals, please!)
Nice case
That's one of the nicer ones I have seen, too bad the manufacturer failed to notice that the JetStream has a PEN! It is also too bad that the 'official' HTC case is functionally Crap!
I have three cases for my JetStream, all have issues of one sort or another.
If I find one that I really like I will let y'all know.

Yes I agree. I purchesed one for my HTC Flyer and most likely order one for my JS I just got yesterday. Just need to make sure I will be keeping the JS.

The Blurex case is very similar from a functionality standpoint.

[Q] Broken Glass only, amoled and digitizer work fine.

Well, my first drop on my week old phone was apparently enough to "almost" completely kill it.
Anyway, i'm looking for a new glass screen for it. I found some on eBay but they only have the international Galaxy Note glass panel. Does anyone know where i could get the glass for the i717?

No, I prefer to run my phones bare. Never had a drop quite this bad.
It was from a good 3-4 feet right onto its screen
I suggest waiting a bit more. The phone just got launched so there are not many accessories for it now.
Btw it's good to know that the note really has gorilla glass. Your screen would have died completely if it was a traditional LCD.

I totally agree about the gorilla glass. However I feel that the size of the note leads to more flex in its chassis.
The glass is only 15 bucks for the international note, hopefully they get one for ours.
Sorry to hear about your disaster . Hope a screen shows up soon.

Makes me glad I ordered a case even more now.

I wish that was a wallpaper with dark marks making it look like broken glass, but alas it's not... It's real sad, but that could easily been prevented by putting a case. But i don't blame you at the same time because it his a lot more nicer without a case...

Running / General Excercise

What do you guys use to carry your DNA when running or otherwise working-out? A few Google searches turned up some cheap generic armbands, but that's about it. I'm curious to see what you folks are using.
Thanks
I use the holster/shell combo that Verizon sold. Can't even feel it when running since its on my waistband. Coupled with my Bluetooth headphones its really non intrusive

I think I would prefer something on the arm, but this waistbelt gets a lot of praise from runners. Very different than a fanny pack, so no jokes lol.

Thanks for the pics and suggestion. It looks almost too big. Is it comfortable?
To those that suggested pants pockets, I have tried that too, but it often pulls the headphones out of my ears.

I'd say so. The DNA is pretty thin and light, it doesn't feel cumbersome.

Zenus Cases

It looks like Zenus is making a bunch of cases for the Note 3. I used to have the original G-Note Diary for the Note 1, and it was probably my favorite case. It looks like they are bringing it back for the Note 3.
http://izenus.com/smart-phones/galaxy-note-3.html
While those are marked as pre-order, there are several I've found on ebay that claim to be shipping now. Hopefully I'll have them in a week or 2.
i was very excited until i saw this ugly logo

Yep, that's a great pick! Had the exact same case in the same colour for my now sold HTC ONE. Really beautiful case.
Was looking to get the same case for the Note III as well.

Free lg g3 case's

Winner chosen, Congrats @djtoonjr.
So purchased a LG G3 but i did not end up liking the phone, it's just too small and slow for my liking. I've switched back to my Note 3. I purchased 3 cases from Amazon and since i will be returning the phone i thought i would give away the cases to someone on XDA.
Just leave a post here and i will pick someone at random on Monday Afternoon.
I will only ship to Contiguous United States, sorry.

nice
Very generous of you, well happily pay for shipping and was looking for a caseology...
I was looking at reviews for that third case (Aura?) and was interested in it but the reviews said it was kind of loose on the phone. Was that your experience as well?
Is tough to find a good TPU Case with any sort of design but the last 2 you posted look pretty cool.
What's your opinion on them and where did you get the second one you posted (the EZ)
I'm in. Thanks
Count me in. Loving that first case.
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing! Now I'm gonna hold off buying a case for my new phone until I see if i get one of these! Hah
Wouldn't mind the first case either.
All of those cases look pretty, in your experience, which one do you think protects the best?
Count me in!

The Aura case isn't a "perfect" fit, but it's definitely not noticeable unless you look at it closely. It never bothered me.
I got the EZ one from Amazon as well. I can post the link if you can't find it.

Very cool of you to do this. That first one, the Caseology would look great with my white G3!!
This is very kind of you. I actually got my sister the g3 but haven't had the chance to play with it yet. Was it too slow for you in general or was it lagging in some places?
