Once again, Otterbox wins. - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

I went back and forth the last several days between trying out the sexy Spigen Slim Armor on my Note 3 and the tried and true Otterbox Commuter for the Note 3 as the Note 2 version saved my Note 2 from many drops and hard hits in the past . What was frustrating was that I didn't want the bulk anymore of the Commuter in comparison to the very sleek layout of the Spigen Slim Armor, however the Spigen is a freaking finger print magnet with the glossy polycarb and it would easily show scratches and dings vs the Commuter. I liked that the Commuter had the flaps to keep dirt and debris outa my USB and headphone jack but the Slim Armor just didn't feel as bulky as the commuter, which was a nice change.
All in all, the pro's and cons made it really tough to decide. But in the end, protection won over style so i'll be sticking with the Commuter and using Spigens oleophobicscreen protector along with it.

Very nice. I had the all black commuter on my black note 3 for about 3 months. I only switched when i saw the camo defender for $30 on amazon. I still have my commuter though

The UAG is nice but there due for a design change. They switched it up with the note 2 but went back to the design that was on the s3

As someone who owns both the UAG and Commuter cases, I can safely say that the commuter provides the better protection while the UAG is easier to remove for changing batteries and such.

Wondering if the Commuter will fit with the official wireless charging back

Nope, but I was thinking it might if the rubber inside was cut. I like my case too much to experiment with it.

Why not Zerolemon? It's like the Otterbox, but gives you a huge battery. Maybe you don't like the bulk they the 10k mAh battery gives?

I love my UAG but I do switch it out with my Trident Cyclops case when I need more protection. Maybe ill give the commuter a shot to see if I like it more than the Cyclops. I had the commuter for my Note 2 but I hated it. Is the Note 3 version much improved over the Note 2 version?

use the Trident Aegis every day and switch out with a Trident Kraken when needed.
