Hey guys!
Im looking to get the Note on a concession line from my job (That or the S3, and I have a serious love for the note) and have been looking around for some fun accessories before I take the plunge. Im curious, is there an aluminum back cover for the I717 note, or is it specific to the international variant?
Also, any case recommendations would be great. Im leaning toward the Kraken because of the durability and belt clip...Im just a little concerned about the size. Ive had trident before and cred them whenever possible. They have fantastic products. Thanks!
You could get a glass screen protector and a tpu case if thickness gets you. I have an otter box right now and its easily 2x as thick

Our Note has an NFC antenna in the convert that would be shielded by metal. ICS enabled NFC.

I've got a Trident case for mine. They offer a lot of protection but not as bulky as otter box. Reasonable on the price as well.
so my question is will the battery cover fit? because i don't really care about the NFC function.
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

Not sure why anyone is using them cases, very ugly very bulky, unless you work in construction you would never need a case like that

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

Does anyone know if a Tempered glass screen protector can be used with the defender?
Anyone have any experience with these? There is a 60% off code ENDOFTHE2013 so I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with these. Link-

Thanks for the info. Do you have any experience with the ones for the note 3? It looks like the protectors wrap around the sides. I just wanted to confirm and see some pictures if possible

I bought a full body kit for my note 3. I only used the back part since only bumpers fit with the s charging cover. No regrets. Can't comment on side protection and don't really recommend the screen protector because I prefer dry protectors.

Is the back part provide any grip?

Yes. About the same grippyness as the back itself just different material. And a bear motion bumper. Still haven't dropped my phone.

I don't like skinomi protectors on anything with a pen input. It just doesn't slide well. Back protection, sure. Sides, sure. Screen? No way.
The only one I did like with the pen input was the HTC view and that had a different stylus.
I've had skinomi for my note 10, note 8, and a bunch of phones. They work well on the phones (S4, s3, droid razr etc) but with the s-pen it felt terrible. Constantly dragging and digging into the skin. Just not an enjoyable experience.
When I initially installed the protector on my note 10, I gave it two days to settle before using it, and it wasn't enough. I had to leave the thing sit for over a week before it was acceptable and that's not something I have the luxury of doing with my phones. I had even contacted customer support and they were the ones to suggest letting it sit for at least a week before using.
I could assume it was just the amount of solution used, but I've used skinomi products enough to know what I'm doing and I won't waste my time using them for anything with pen input now.
I bought 2 of the skinomi clear ones during the sale. Thanks for the fyi. I just installed the sides and the back one for the camera and use a tempered glass for the front. So far I like it and it gives the phone better side grip. Although I probably wouldn't have bought it if it was regular price however. It would be nice if they just sold the sides and the camera one separately.

Hi All,
Although I voted for I'll not use a case with the LG3, I'm not sure about it. So I'm looking for a case (not tpu case) to protect the phone from scratches and minor falls or bumps(+title). Any suggestions?
Thanks
i bought this one less than $10 hard plastic on the back and rubberized on the sides very thin profile case

some of the cases u all link here have a hole on top. is for korean ver
Yes. It's for the Korean version it's a cut for the antenna, I emailed some of them and they wrote me back that they aren't going to make cases without the antenna hole.
I ordered the Fosmon TPU case. I've had good luck with these on other phones and they are very thin and do not change the look of the device:

Yea I'm getting a ringke case as well. They are the slimmest cases available for the g3 and cover the whole phone.. Going for the black one as I bought a gold g3 so it should look good with a black case.

A bit bulky but it offers good protection. Been using Spigen all the time even my S4.
For the Korean version, this is the best. It brings wireless charging and it protects the phone.
