RIDICULOUS search for the PERFECT case - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

I've been surfing ebay and other sites for the perfect case, and I thought I'd ask if anyone might have seen one that comes close to my specifications.
I'm looking for a heavy duty case with port covers, kickstand, AND a protective film that overlays a screen protector. Also, I'd like to have a holster it slides into easy enough, with a swivel belt clip.
Now I know this may be an absurd request, yet I have found a few close candidates. The closest example I've is this no-name brand on ebay

As you can see, this closely fits my definition of a perfect case. 2 things wrong though. The kickstand is built as the belt clip, and the actual belt clip itself is flimsy. The way it attaches to the case is pretty bad. The belt clip lasted me a week before my coworker sat next to me at lunch and busted the thing.
Buuuut check this out!
This was the only case I've found that protects the camera! I thought that was pure genius!
Anyway, I've also come across the Ballistic MAXX and the Gorilla Glass Aluminum cases. They look great but no kickstand or belt holster.
Has anyone seen something along those lines? Is there a belt holster I can buy separately that will fit an encased phone? Hit this thread up with some responses! :good:

Wow those look like they are ready for battle lol

Most definitely! Perfect in the Water Utility field lol

The 1st survivor case I purchased off eBay and it's very ordinary, it doesn't fit well and doubles the thickness of the phone, yes probably the only case I have seen that covers the camera but this case is cheap and nasty and feels horrible in my opion.

The woman in the picture looks like should would give you service if you buy the case!
Pretty cheap for the case if it lives up to it's marketing. Would like to see a review that tests out it's claims though.

Badamn!
All heavy duty! I love them! Looks like the next closest case would be the Kraken though. It's the only one with a kickstand integrated. That belt clip though...
I wanna buy em all! Pokémon!

Otterbox Defender is what you are looking for, minus camera cover.

Well I've gone as far as to reach out to Seidio via email to request that their new OBEX Combo case that's "under development" could have implemented a couple more features. I think I read somewhere in another thread that some were able to convince a company to produce a new line for this same phone, so I am making the same attempt myself. We'll see how things go
Anywho, thank you all for the links. I will purchase one of these cases in the meantime soon, once I figure which one best serves my needs! :silly:

WANT. I will be ordering this on my next payday. Just had one, but went a bit wild on my bank account at the bars this weekend. Ooops.
I did the 3 for 2 deal on Amazon. They arrived today and I've got to say, it's my favorite case to date.
It's not soft or extremely flexible, but it fits well and it looks good. The holes line up pretty well, too.
FYI - if you order the white argyle version of the case, for some dumb reason the argyle print is on the inside of the case and it's plain on the outside. No idea why they did that. I also got the green translucent one, but it's a bit more yellow than green.
Damn looks good but can you use it with a dock?

Mine arrived today too. Not overly impressed with what is supposed to be a name brand premium case. Not bad, but my Mercury cases have more of a, high quality/premium feel to them.
I bought one of these cases. It actually feels awesome .. but
are you guys having issues plugging the charging port (the OEM cable)? In mine, the case is obstruct to some part of the microusb port.. so it does not go all the way. However, you can push it so hard for the port connector to fit properly. Thankfully I have a non-oem cable that has a very thin micro usb connector so it fits perfectly fine.
Thanks
i got the green androidify case and i love it.. it fits perfect.. i had to take it off and put it on a few different ways to get it to fit properly.. but i love this case! fits great and looks awesome on my white note

You do know that this case is not made for the I717. It does not include the antenna and it does not snap into place correctly. You will have to take five minutes and use a file to correct the tabs. It will fit decent then, but not perfectly. Not sure what the antenna is for. I don't have LTE if that is what it is for so no biggy to me.
Then you can go one step further and get the Hyperion honeycomb TPU extended battery case which fits this battery door perfectly. And if the battery door is a little loose this case will hold everything together perfectly. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Extended-HoneyComb-Compatible-International/dp/B007R5I8KA
With that case it is only slightly more bulky than my Seidio case was. Best thing I can still use this combination with my Seidio holster.
Just got mine today and it is still on the charger. I can't wait to put it to the test later.
This is a great deal. And you can't go wrong if you don't need the antenna and you can make the case fit yourself.
Antenna is for NFC, not LTE.

On the site? They list:
Manufacturer Generic
Battery Type LiION
Battery Capacity 5000 mAh 3.7v
Product Condition New
Color Black
Compatibility GT-i9220 Galaxy Note, SGH-i717 Galaxy Note, GT-n7000 Galaxy Note,
I already stated in second post that the battery door will not fit the I717. You will have to make modifications. And the hyperion case will only fit that battery door which is supposed to be only for the n7000. But after you make the battery door fit the case fits perfectly.
@jpeg42....thanks for the info. Actually just found that out and was coming back to report it. Doesn't matter as I don't need NFC either.
Both u guys i said CASE the guy who posted the case that fits the battery door it says will not work with att

are there any confirmed bumper cases that would fit with this? probably not, right?
i'm trying ot figure out if i can manage a glas.t on top then that hyperion honeycomb one on the back
I went ahead and snagged it for 7 dollars. At that price, it can be a spare even if the cover won't fit.
Has anyone tried it yet? How does it compare to the OEM battery or to the Mugen one?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
There are no other covers/cases available to form fit this extended back other than a cheap leather looking belt case or the hyperion noneycomb TPU case mentioned above.
I also wanted to add that if you're like me and have a white Note, there are color cases, too. I'm snagging the white one. It's a couple bucks more expensive, but for me it's worth it not to have another black phone.
I can't post the link because I'm new here (just got my first Android phone 3 days ago--this Note), but the Amazon product number is B007R661H6.
They call come up if you search for "Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note Extended Battery HoneyComb TPU Case" on Amazon and have the same "not compatible" blah blah blah info the black one does.
I have a SZLF bumper case... it will work with all backs. There is a cheaper verson of it from Amazon.

LTE has nothing to do with the back. the back is only for NFC.
I ordered this one. I have the other one (listed in the other thread) but they sent me a back that doesn't fit, the replacement back doesn't fit...if the back isn't going to be PERFECT...well, I'd rather have paid $7 for it than $20...and at least this version has a case that will work with it.

Its the bump that's just for the battery its kinda disappointing because i was hoping for the full curve but it doesn't bother me and the back has all the nubs in the right place but the bottom right and the nub at the very bottom of the right side don't stay snapped in
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I got mine in today, and it was not the battery listed. The case for the back was not uniformly thicker--just around the battery itself. I didn't particularly want that kind, as I wanted the whole device to be wider. This was a trial-run to see if the Mugen battery was worth it.
In addition, it isn't the battery pictured on the website. The battery itself says it is only for the i9220.
A bit disappointing, but I m only out 7 bucks.

The SupCase Beetle is one of my favorites. Its a little bulky for me, however the fit and feel is one of the best that I have seen for the Nexus 6. I have around 15 cases (Spigen, Cruzerlite, TUDIA, SupCase, Nilkin etc...) and this one is one of my favorites. I haven't used it in a while since I use my leather backed Spigen Ultra Hybrid as my DD. My wife has the same case but in green for her Moto X 2014 and she really likes it as well.
Diztronic Ultra care... Google it, get it, live it.

My brown back is virtually black from dirt despite cleaning it . The adhesive is still holding up but it has seen better days. It started to attract a lot of marks in the past 2-3 weeks so I reconditioned it which helped make them less noticeable but it doesn't look brown anymore in most areas. The only area that's remotely the original color is the top 1/8th which I generally don't touch when I hold the phone. I was thinking about removing it to clean it up, however I don't have an adhesive strong enough to apply it without worrying about the leather coming off. The piece on the back of my phone (with the exception of some small marks) is fine since it never sees the light of day except when I clean my phone.
I was thinking about using my supcase again but I like the feel of the soft leather over hard plastic. I'll have to post a picture in my OP as an update so people can see how its help up over time.
Also I wanted to note that my first 2 supcases were defective but it was more of how amazon packaged them.

Thank you for the offer but its not bad enough to where I would replace it just yet. I have a piece of the brown leather still in its box that I can apply. I have a ultra hybrid with the football leather that I used a couple of times I could use but I don't like it as much as I thought I would. The bamboo is on my other one and its terrible to have exposed since it splinters easily. I've been using my Nexus 9 more during the day recently since I decided to give it another try after returning my original one back to Google. My phone has been sitting in its pouch in my bag a lot because of the rain. I was thinking about trying to use the other cases I have it giving a few away since they haven't been used in a couple of months now.
I wanted to also note that if you use the blue/frost SupCase and place or face down often or will get noticeably dirty around the lip. My black one looks brand new but the blue and been collect dirt more than I would like. Don't let that detract from there case itself which again it's still great. I have the beetle pro for my Nexus 9 and it's all also just as well made.

Bumper Case (Backless), do they exist ?

Do these exist? I want to protect the phone from falls and seems like a bumper would be the best way to do this. I don't like cases that cover the back.
Also what's the best tampered glass solution? What do you guys think of phantom glass?
I don't believe there is backless bumper case for the Nexus 6. I don't use tempered glass so I don't have an opinion on that.

The weight of Nillkin Bumper for nexus 6 is approx. 19 grams. Which is around 1/2 of the weight of the fusion case.
---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------
For your reference , Ringke slim is 24 grams. Spigen Thinfit is 26 grams. Nillkin Bumper is 19 grams.
Fusion case should weight about 35-40 gram.
I have 3 of the Nillkin bumpers and they are nice. Good grip and look good, especially with a Dbrand skin.
The BEST tempered glass protector (and customer service) goes to Intelliarmor. You can see their replies and how hard they work to solve member's issues here. I bought the Edge-to-Edge tempered glass and there isn't one bit of halo under the glass. They did an excellent job making the edge-to-edge version. You can find the Tempered Glass discussion in the accessories section.
This is the tempered glass protector I use. I love it.

I have a Nillkin bumper too. Waited like 3 weeks for it to arrive from China (before they were available with Prime shipping). I don't like it. Not a fan of how it wraps around the back a little. I wish there was a true bumper, like the CaseMate my wife has on her Moto X.

I have the same protector. Hands down, great customer service.
Nillkin is OK product, but I prefer Ringke Fusion. Best case on the planet

dbrand Skin Review

dbrand was kind enough to ship me some skins for review for both the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I figured I would post the reviews here on XDA to help the most people I could, here goes.
For the Samsung Galaxy S7 I have the Black Carbon Fiber skin, front and back, with accents.
For the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge I have the Blue Carbon Fiber with accents.
The skins arrived in simple plastic sleeves with a dbrand insert and the skin itself.
Once you open these the first thing you will notice is the skins have a texture.
The carbon fiber really looks and feels like carbon fiber.
The printing on these skins is second to none, they all look realistic.
The cutouts on the speaker grill, camera, and sensors are perfect.
The application of this skin is the easiest yet.
All you have to do is place the camera cover (accents) on.
Then just use the 3M paper to keep the entire skin from sticking as you align the camera cutouts.
Realign the paper sideways and align the bottom of the phone.
Remove the paper completely.
Finally use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat up the edges and press them into place.
I used a heat gun on the lowest setting, a hair dryer may take slightly longer.
Just in case you do not believe how easy the install is, I have made a video of me installing one.
Remember I have no extra experience doing this, it is this easy.
Installation video.
Once installed you will really see how perfect dbrand made these skins.
Every cutout and edge will be exactly where it should be.
There are no overlapped places or short edges.
I have used both Skickwraps and dbrand and in my opinion dbrand has done a much better job with their skins.
If anyone is considering skins, dbrand is the way to go.
At $9.95 for just the back and $18.95 for the back, accents, and front, these are a great price.

Here are some pictures of the final product.

PS I am still amazed at how exact the cutouts and sides are.
The brown wood it looks awesome on S7. Is classy, but i like the concrete one too. How is the grip with the carbon one?

I can tell that the concrete one is amazing. I don't know if it's me... but proximity sensor hate me... always near, it's kind of problematic to dial number during a call..
Got the black one that was in special ( black mate and carbon fiber for 10$) Feel is nice, look is great. But just realise now that the camera lens cover, slided on the back..... no residu on the lens tho. will try to reapply. But that is my only complain, fit well with rhinoshield bumper case.
They ship you free skins because then you gonna spam all forums for them and thats easy advertizing for them. First of all them D brand skins are overpriced and most them skins can be bought from places like ebay or aliexpress for like 2 bucks vs 15-20bucks. Maybe its just me but fools are born every day and before you make reviews of things you get for free, you should ask your self if you would have bought it at retail price. Why you think they send out all these free skins and even in every youtube video you see about mobiles shows that retarded Dbrand sponserd ad.
