So I just got a note 3, and looking for a case that doesn't add much bulk but keeps the protection.
Looking at these two, any of you guys tried either or both of these? If so, which one did you like and why?

Funny I actually have both cases..bought the caseology first and for me it was a little bulky. So I bought the neo hybrid and I love it. When you have em side by side the Neo is slimmer. Just my two cents.

Buttons aren't flush, but close. I found that the volume down on mine would activate in my pocket very, VERY often.
i have both cases. i prefer the caseology one because i bought the one with the leather material on the back and it feels wonderful, the way i thought the note 3 would feel. the spigen is alright as well, but it just doesnt feel that nice in your hands

So I'm not a big case person but I found a light slim case that you can hardly tell and I love it so much thought I'd share it . Let me know what you got or going to get!

Otterbox Commuter -- its a thin, solid case, which I like.. and was only ~$26, which I also like.
otter box as well
I have a Incipio Feather case coming in soon. I tend to be pretty responsible (keeping my fingers crossed) with my phones and I like that the case helps avoid scratches without adding too much size.
I got the Otter Commuter as well.

Haha yep. Same here.
Otterbox commuter. I wanted a sleek metal case but was concerned about interference.
Really pleased with the otterbox, they have made major improvements since the last time I saw one a couple years ago. Slides easily in/out of pockets.
Awesome simple case and VERY cheap!

Man I wish I had seen that Neo Hybrid before I ordered my Cygnett UrbanShield Carbon Fiber Case.
I just ordered the Spigen Ultra Air case from Amazon. Looks very nice and not bulky.
cruizer lite here
i have three cases, all made by spgen. Neo Hybrid, Slim Armor and an Ultra Fit (got this one free).
I'll most likely go with the Neo Hybrid but we'll see how it fits and if it offers enough protection
I currently have a Rearth Ringke Slim (Black). I ordered the Aero UAG case and waiting on that. That is a cool looking case. I originally had ordered the Spigen in Slate Blue, but after seeing the UAG, I cancelled the order (about $30 with shipping from imarine.com)
That thing looks like it's made to be taken through combat... good grief. I don't want my phone to remind me of MIL-Crates though had enough of that over there...
SPG Neo Hybrid blk/yellow. Awesome little case keeps it very slim and gives good grip for such a thin phone.
Currently have the Otterbox Commuter. I normally use the Defender series but I couldn't find one local. Might get a Defender down the road. The Commuter is slim, but slick.
Definitely a must have!!
:laugh::victory:
BTW my first post lol
n3 is already big enough. with this it is going to be much uglier.
I picked one up, its on pre order atm. I was told it ships approx. 4 weeks from 9/26. Cant wait!
Also there are more colors besides the orange one here: http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/aero-glxn3
Way too big. Your strapping a giant case on a giant phone...
I've had one of these on my N2 for the last year and it has been my favorite case hands down. Probably saved the device several times.
UAG are the best cases out there. I have had several and provide great protection and the buttons are great

Love uag had one on my note 2...adds a small bit of bulk but the protection is comparable to the otterbox commuter which is typically bulkier.. I know the note is huge but I'd rather give up the sleek factor than replace a 700$ phone... I think it's the best case for size to protection ratio.... Sure otterbox defender is more durable but it turns your phone into a brick.. Love uag case just kinda wish it had a kickstand.. I'm picking this up and the seidio active along with a diztronic tpu

I second your sentiments, I had a UAG case for my S3 & wouldn't put anything else on my N3. I've also preordered & anxiously await it's arrival.
Will definitely order one when they are available, have had Uag on my S3, S4. Great cases and great protection. Also they're not as bulky as they seem in pics.

I would like to see them offer the dot/dash design like the Note 2 case otherwise I will get the Seidio Active with kickstand.
Edit: Just checked the site and the dot/dash design will be offered. So, I'm in.

Curious if those two variants are the same dimensions... the one with the removable vent seems as though it would be slightly thicker.
Also, is venting really necessary for this device?

I think it is more design than functionality especially since they include inserts to cover up the slots.
Is it me or does the side of the UAG Note 3 cover looks different?
Please give me your recommendations

Thanks I'm old school when it comes to screen protection I've only had otter box case's but this case is beautiful and I'm sold, however is the screen protection glass or plastic with the otter box the plastic Procter seems to scratch very easily
ok I know your asking for a case vote, but you need to watch this video, its nuts. Its a screen protector that is .3 mil thickness, but its amazing.

Slim Armor is not that good for protection, especially drop protection. It has like no lip.
Uag is awesome and they aren't as bulky as they seem in pics. I've had one for my S3 and S4 and they do protect extremely good against drops.

I had the UAG Scout for my Note 2. It protected my phone perfectly through multiple drops. The case never got scuffed either. It was pretty bulky though. No where near Otterbox Commuter size (which I also owned).

Now we talking that's what I need , I'm more so looking for protection from drops that cosmetic .
Only drawback is UAG won't be available for weeks to come according to their website
Otterbox or Trident would be the best for drop protection. I wouldn't consider any slimmer cases to be the "best" in drop protection. I remember watching a video where a guy just threw his iPad with Otterbox from the second story window multiple times. Nothing broke on the iPad.

Do. He seems very knowledgeable about the product and hits communication is great
I'd say the best cases will be either the Otterbox defender or the Armour version if one is made, the Seidio Rugged, or the Ballistic Maxx. All are going to be producing a case specifically designed to provide the maximum protection. I had an otterbox on the note 2 and it had been dropped numerous times down my stair and never a scratch. My wife has a Ballistic Maxx on her S3 and she is quite accident prone but her phone is unscathed. I think the Ballistic case is rated at a 15 meter drop distance. I'm not sure about the others.

I just checked otterbox and they have the email option for the Note 3. I have gotten otterbox for almost all my phones mainly for the belt clip, but I would love to see the armour series come out for this beast. I doubt considering it wasn't released for the S IV.

Depends on what you want a soft case or a hard case. Personally with my experience this phone is so big that the smaller the better. I prefer the .3 mm cases on Ebay. But the Spigen Neo Hybrid is a sexy case but can get uncomfortable in the hand after a while. The Caseologic cases are nice and not too terribly bulky and feel like a leather material. Spigen also make a simple TPU case that is decent. The S View cover or knockoff comparable is also decent but basically like not having a case all together if dropped.
Be more specific to what you want and I can throw some more out.

Well If you are looking for a belt clip case so that it can make you feel comfortable at your work place and you can also enjoy the media viewing too......then I would highly recommend this shellster belt clip case for N3 as personally I am using this case from last 3 months and believe me the quality of the case is very impressive and moreover the belt clip is the sturdiest one I have ever used....so you can check out

I just received the Spigen Neo Hybrid today from amazon. Very nice!! Sharp looking case....didn't add too much bulk. After I purchased I read some people think it adds too much bulk so I was worried. Once I received it, I am happy I went with it.

Ok, thank you
There's a really good deal for Spigen cases for Galaxy S7 in this thread, so I was wondering which one do you recommend for black Galaxy S7? I really can't decide which one to go with.
Crystal/transparent protectors looks nice on a silver version, but mine is black, so I have no idea if they are visually appealing in that case. I would really not like to have a bulky S7 that wouldn't sit well in hand, but at the same time good protection would be great. So how does their protectors compare, which one do you recommend?

I have this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B1I6J0E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 and I ordered a black onyx Galaxy S7. The case arrived yesterday but the phone itself won't be here until today or tomorrow. (UPS says today but they don't even have the package yet) The case is a nice thin one. I compare it to an Incipio case for my S5 and the Sigen case makes it look like the S7 is a thinner phone then the S5. So I'd say this case does not add much to the phone at all.
I went with the Artech 21 Vivid series:

Nah, I'm going to take my chances. I've never used the screen protection and all the years of had phones or PDA's.
