So I just bought a clear case for my note 3. Has anyone printed out any designs for the back, similar to what people do with their nexus 4s and 5s with rearth ringke cases?

I bought scrap book paper at Michaels and just cut it to fit my clear case.
Sent from my SM-N900P using xda app-developers app
I remember those days... I used to use wall paper or craft paper on my ipods and my first phone... I could only find clear cases for both of them or ipods socks and etc.
Then I found a website called gelskins. Artist would show case there talents and could make a skin out of it for ipods. Then I would clear case that.

Does anyone know of any gps mounts that fits perfect with the otterbox defender case? Thanks.

I just cut the clips off a Garmin GPS mount, cut the clip off the Otterbox belt holster, and epoxied the two together. So far it's working well for me, though I never used the belt holster in the first place.

Thanks i will definitely use that website.

Funny that website actually inspired me. I forgot I had a broken otterbox belt clip and an extra garmin gps mount. So I combine the two with some reinforced industrial strength glue. It also fits snug without the glue. So the glue added that extra seal. Saved $30. Here's some pic's. Thanks it really got me to think..

I love my speck case but there's no way i can take it on and off my Note everytime i go somewhere. Anyone know of a car mount that will fit mid size cases??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Doesn't have to be specifically a speck case, just something with extra room..
Universal or phone specific? I use a Bracketron universal holder fitted to a cupholder mount. They also have suction cup for windshield/ dashboard mounts as well as vent mounts. They sell at BB and a few others. Typically around $30 or so. Mine expands very wide and should have no issues fitting the Note with any case on it.

Here is the mount in my current configuration:
It might be rotated but you'll get the idea.

Just ordered the Exomount Universal. Should have it in a few days. Had to order it with a Galaxy Nexus screen protector and case plus car charger since everyone is sold out of the black mount only. Still cheaper off Amazon than direct from Exogear and whatever I sell the extra stuff for makes the mount even cheaper= win.

How does it scratch the phone? Or are you just having a hard time getting it pulled off?
Anyways...I bought http://www.walmart.com/ip/Grip-IT-Vent-Mount-Kit/20451899 this mount last Christmas on a roadtrip to hold my Inspire 4g in a CaseMate.
It holds my note just fine as well. Mounts in my vent, all buttons/ports are accessible, very adjustable, rotates for landscape just fine.
Depending on your vents it may work pretty well. It worked fine in my gfs focus, and is perfect in my jeep. Yes it fits my note with speck with room to spare.

There was placeholder on their website last week but it was poofed. I'm hoping something is announced next week. I'm too clumsy to wory about cute :fingers-crossed:
My point exactly it looks legit and if that is the design I hope and pray that it is like that to keep dust from under screen like the note 2 case was horrible for doing. I just bought two note 3 phones as well as I still have two note 2 phones.

Got this in response from Otterbox today
Dear Matthew,
Our Otter Engineers are currently working on a case for that Note 3 device. We do not have an expected launch date at this time, but we recommend following us on your favorite social network to hear the latest OtterBox news and product updates. Thank you for your patience as we work to perfect our next, top quality product.

Thank you sir I think it is quite ridiculous how for our preferred choice of device maker is rather pushed to the side but then again Samsung isn't like apple being that they make devices differently from each model. Instead of waiting half a decade

Found the PERFECT Belt Holder NOTE3
After checking out all the stores.... I could not find a vertical Belt Holder for the NOTE3...until, I found a professional seamstress. She made this modification from a store bought holder! PERFECT Fit with just about a 1/4" sticking out so I can quick grab it for calls! Let me know if you might be interested in one! I can send your her store name...Michael ($48.00 case & Shipping)
I'm looking for a flip cover that is similar to the note 2 without the S View.

Ballistic sent my confirmation email today that their ballistic cases are now shipping! I went with the black and white variant of their Maxx series.

That case sucks, had it on my note 2. Over time the rubber skin stretches and fits very loose just like the otterbox defenders.
Stay away from this one.

I had the regular ballistic case as well but I sold it because I wanted a holster case. I sold it to a friend who still uses it and has no issues. I actually have two otterbox defender cases for my old note 2 and no stretching what so ever. Still a pain in the but to take on and off. This is the first maxx design to be offered, my wife has one on her S3 and if you use it with the screen protector as it's supposed to be, It will keep its shape. Sorry you had such bad luck.

Anyone with the first batch of otterbox defender case for the note 3? If so care to post some pictures and a short review based on the previous design for the note 2? As well as does the screen protector that's built in better or worse than the previous design?

to answer your questions as best I can from MY EXPERIENCE.( on note 2 )
The protection factor is top notch.. however, bulk is detracting from phone styling- the volume and power buttons require much more pressure to activate them. also, the built in plastic screen shield which is built into the front outer shell, is rather ugly- floats above the phone, rainbow effects usuaally- humidity gathers below it and actual screen. and holsster is susceptible to breakage when exiting, entering your vehicle. ( happened twice to me..otterbox warranteed both times.
all outlets and ports are covered by a durable flap door, and once opened, access is easy. so my review- from 1 to 10, 10 being best is 9.. penaly for tough buttons and rather blandness/bulkiness of case size.. something like commuter might be less bulky- with less protection..thats where my curiosity of other cases comes in..( ie trident aegis, uag, seidio etc.): but- if you go with otter defender, the plastic screen can be removed ( voids warranty though) and you can use a spg type protector to avoid the ranbows, humidity buildup. I just traded up to the Note 3 myself- so decided on Trident Krakken ( returned UAG Case) Removal and install is a Major Headache.
I have the note 2 as well as the otterbox on it lol

Just picked up my Otterbox today at the sprint store. It does add bulk but I love the belt clip.

Picked my Defender up today. Overall it looks really good. Unlike my Note 2 Defender case, the note 3 defender doesn't seem to be as bulky.
Getting the inner shell on was tight. Damn tight, but it went on.
I run defenders on all my phones. This is the best one as far as form and fashion that I've owned.
The Best Buy website showed that one of my 2 local Best Buy stores (within 1 mile from each other, but one is a Best Buy Mobile in the mall) had the Commuter in stock earlier today. I drove up there to check it out, but they didn't have any. I checked their site again while in store and it didn't show either store having it any more. I didn't plan to buy it anyway, just wanted to check it out and see how it looked and fit. Their site also showed them having the Qi compatible battery door. Even though their site DID still show it being available while I was there, they couldn't find it even though their system also showed them having 2 in stock. About an hour after getting home, and 2 hours after they had closed, an employee who I left my name & number with texted me saying that she did find the Qi battery door and was going to hold it for me!

I could not imagine it being bulkier than the Note 2 Defender. That thing's a brick!
Otterbox should come out with an Armor Series for the Note 3! If someone tries to jack you for your phone you could swing it around and clobber them in the kisser. That thing would be a weapon!
I'd buy one because it would be the equivalent of a toughbook but in a phone...
How about the commutee
