Just for day to day use, I don't do anything too extreme that would put my phone at too much risk. Right now, I'm using a tempered glass screen protector with the Otterbox Defender.
Defender makes it too thick for my tastes, and I want a case that is thinner and more aesthetically pleasing.
If anyone has the Neo Hybrid or other Spigen cases, I would appreciate any experiences with any drops you might have had.
Also, how are bumper cases? Referring to the aluminum ones that don't cover the back.
Yes, the best of the best for me is this one

I like this one but doesnt ship in us
Ringke Slim. Slimmest available with protection on all sides, raised edge around the screen and raised edge around the camera. You can put it down any way you want and anywhere you want, still provides some level of hit protection (kinda from your pocket to normal floor). Just what you need for home/school/office. And cheap. Or Seido surface - slightly thicker, expensive but with kickstand.
I am using this one right now. This one is slim and hand-feel also good. Earlier I used Neo Hybrid by Spigen but that one made my note 3 bulky.

I have a Ringke slim and the one from the link below. I like both of them equally. The bumper is hard and not flexing, I put it on the phone and there is no movement.

I don't know. The UAG and the commuter seem to have similar bulk, I have both. Good option for the op might be a slim armor and a glass screen protector. I have the slim as well, protection is good enough from the sides and back but the front protection is quite shallow compared to the UAG and Commuter.

It's too slippery for my tastes and doesn't really offer protection, but good enough until my Spigen arrives tomorrow.
Incipio Feather best case ive ever owned. Ive had one on all my past motorola phones and now on my note3. Protects what needs to be and adds alot of grip to the phone.

Does it comes with the hole for sling? I used to have one for my Note 2. Slim and light but minimal protection.
I have all the spigen cases for the note 3, i think the best one is the bounce, the crappiest one is the neo hybrid.
And yes the thinnest is the bounce, and the thickest is the slim armor

search ebay for "0.3mm note 3 case". It's basically a semi hard plastic wrap/case that is super thin and only provides scratch protection. They're dirt cheap too. like $1 each. I bought a dozen and can replace them at will.

Too much bulk... And I've had bad experiences with bumpers messing up the signal. I don't really care about drop protection, just want to protect it from scratches and dirt.
Diztronic is the thinnest TPU I've used, it was ten bucks shipped from Amazon and fits in the holster that the Seido surface uses.

Agreed.. I've tried both caseology cases and also bear motion bumpers.. and some other ones. Diztronic by far the thinnest while still covering all sides of the phone.

Only the corners are protected and it's actually one of the lightest cases and since it's made of rubber you wont have signal interruptions. Only metal bumpers cause those.
Do any of the suggested covers and bumpers raise the back to protect the camera?

Just got my case today and it works great just like my Note 2 did... It's nice for scratches and covers a good part of the phone. Fits nicely and adds a nice grip to it I like better than the back.
Just received a White UAG today.....Thought i'd do a quick comparo with a Slim Armor (Metal Slate) that I've had on for the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong....both these cases are a excellent choice and I'll be swapping between them both. I'll add to this list after a few days of use as well.
UAG over the Slim Armour Case
- Tighter Fit
- More Lightweight
- Grippier Sides (thanks to the Honeycomb Pattern)
- Lip on the front is bigger (more face protection)
- Bigger Hole for the micro USB 3.0
- Bigger Hole for headphone Jacks
- More rugged masculine looking
- Slighly more camera protection (Deeper Groove)
- 1 piece deisgn
- Bigger Hole for IR Blaster
- Least resistant to cosmetically scratch
Slim Armor Over the UAG case
- Classier Sleeker Prossional look
- Cutouts are more professonally done/ finished
- 2 piece design (could be a con)
- Slighly Thinner
- Cheaper (depends where you get it from but in my case it was $6 cheaper)
On Par-
- Tactile Buttons for the Power and Volume are excellent
- Both have "feet" on the back to protect the case
- Both excellent designs and looks
- Both I think could take a fairly big hit or drop and do the job intended
- Both go very well with a Glass.t tempered screen protector
I feel that the SA has significantly worse tactile feedback for the power button. The SA power button is more recessed and mushy. The SA also has a crappy cutout for the headphone port, most earbuds won't fit unless the plug is skinny like on the samsung headset. The UAG opening practically fits every 3.5mm plug I've tried.
we hope to see some great pics if it possiple
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk 2
Man that is a tuff choice. Cant wait to see some pics soon. Love they way both look.
Thanks for the pics. The UAG is bulkier but lighter?
Also, is the Slim Armor Metal Slate the only non-glossy/shiny color? Looks good.

Yeah the UAG is a fair bit lighter. Its weird that the UAG is that much thicker because when its on the phone you'd think the slim armor is bulkier.
I think the slate is the only not glossy one of that series. ..that was one of the reasons why I got that color.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can confirm that after nearly a weeks use.... I believe the UAG case is more of a keeper than the slim armor.....it just feels better on the phone. The lightweight construction is a massive plus. The Grippier sides and the better designed face lip are all a bigger advantage. I'm extremely impressed by this case.

from here.....comes with free shipping. probably took 10 or so business days from order to delivery...and that was to Australia....quicker to US i'd imagine?
SlimArmor FTW
UAG Worth its money
I got my white UAG case along with my white GN3. Although i tried no other case on it, i have to say i'm impressed by its looks and construction. The case is stunnigly use friendly and the added bulk is beneficial to have a steady grip in the little monster (at least for my hands). The one piece hybrid design is better than i thought since the rubber part is sturdier and less of a dirt sweep than a 2 piece (had otterbox in my hd2 and casemate in my gn1 with the latter being a total disappointment).
On the plus side if you favor cases that draw attension uag will pimp your gn3 like no other. Most of my tecnology illiterate friend notice the case before the phone.
Finally i can confirm that UAG has free shipping with their cases and the delivery time was about 8 days for me.
What about the issue with the missing cutout for the temp/humidity sensor (whatever that is)? Has there been a v2 which fixed it?
No issue now with the cut out. ...they fixed it a few weeks back.

are you able to tell me which one can connect to the multimedia dock without removing the case?
currently using the PDAIR booktype slim case and it fit on the multimedia dock but the top two side plastic is crack and about to break soon.
I am on a market for a new case that fit on the multimedia dock. Currently thinking of buying the Seidio Surface case as it looks like it can fit the dock and has a kickback stand.
Can someone confirm for me

Just ordered this off Amazon for $10 and I have to say that this is an amazing case. The fit and feel is second to none and I like the angled corners of the case. It has a nice rubberized finish and fingerprints don't show. I'm getting used to the design on the back...I wasn't a fan at first. I think anyone would be happy to have this in their case line-up.

I have the bounce case and its great. Its not to thick, provides enough protection and covers the volume and power buttons. Works great and with a good price.
i'm digging this case too. I only dropped this phone while I was running, it slid on the front of the phone for 5 feet and didn't get a scratch or crack.
I dropped this phone a few times with this case. No damage. The case is a typical tpu case but with a nice design and pattern.
I'm trying to figure out which case to buy. I bought two spegin cases. The slim armor I liked in terms of protection, but I hated the buttons on the side and how slippery it is. Also, the kickstand seemed low quality. The other one is just not offering the protection I need. I'm in a toss up between these two. Let me know what you think. I need enough protection to keep it safe, but not bulky.

It's got a great profile and full case protection against scratches. Might not be the best case to protect the phone from high drops though.

Cruzerlite! Their cases are thin and offer great protection. You can YouTube videos of drop tests with the nexus 5 having the Cruzerlite case on it. It's a beast! They also feel great in hand.
Cruzerlite or TUDIA those are my two favorites , both are thin TPU cases and very durable!
Tried both the Spigen Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid and did not like the extra bulk as its wide enough already. Bought a Dbrand skin for the back only and its perfect. Adds just enough texture so its not slippery but does not add any size to the specifically in width.

agree totally with you. i ended up with just a Skinomi matte skin. if an ultra slim clear or smoke case comes out which gives some grip but keeps the looks especially the visual of the Midnight blue back and metal sides i might reconsider. until then i'll be ultra careful!
If you're looking for a case without bulk, then get the Ringke SLIM SF Black. More grip and adds no bulk.
Although, Ultra Hybrid doesn't add any bulk very minimal in my opinion.

A tacky feeling, clear skin would be very nice.
I ran the Ringke Slim SF black for 2 days. Then my Spigen Slim Armor arrived. To be honest, the Spigen isn't impressing me that much. It makes the device feel bulky and it doesn't provide the grip the Ringke did. I might return it and get a different case with kickstand.

I've got the Moko (2 of them), a Supcase on order, and just got the CF version of the Caseology off Amazon. All of them combined were still cheaper than walking into a Apple store and getting a cheap TPU case. That carbon fiber Caseology looks pretty nice in the pics.
I'm considering the Ringke Hybrid or Max, which get a lot of attention around here. The Urban Armor Gear looks good to me as well, but I haven't seen much about it. Anyone try the UAG case?

A71 Case
I just ordered a Spigen, should be here tomorrow
This is my new case for the A71. I think is the best anybody can find for this phone.
Spigen's A71 cases are not compatible with the A71 5G . At least, not at the time I'm posting this. I hope they will add some.
I have Spigen cases on my other phones, love them. I like their A71 Slim Armor case with the built-in kickstand. I hope they will add one for the A71 5G in the future. I am learning, though, that it's not that easy to find good cases for the A71 5G variant.

This is the thinnest one i found. The back is not super grippy since it is textured, but It is great in that it doesn't extend much from the screen which makes edge gestures much easier than other cases (e.g. one I had from spigen). Doesn't add much thickness to the phone and protects from waist height drops.

Sorry I am not aware of them.
My wife bought this. The lip comes around the screen just a bit more than mine but it's a fine case. It's a trade off between a bit more protection and ease of triggering edge gestures (which the a71 does come supporting out of the box).

This might be more available than the one I have internationally.
