I have had this case fitted for the past week and have nothing but praise for it. As the title says it is really slim and still makes the G3 feel very low profile. It offers all round protection and it also comes with a really good screen protector. All ports are very accessible with the case fitted and i like the cut outs where the camera lens and LEDs are. For £9 including a decent screen protector im loving this case. I shall post some pics up later

I ordered the slim clear for mine. I don't have the case or phone yet but will report back.
I have the Ringke Slim on my Nexus 5 and absolutely love it. It's the only case I've ever had on my phone that didn't annoy me to the point I end up going naked.

I've just got the ringke slim in white, it has a cutout for the antenna (not on my model), and a free screen protector. The protector went on with a billion bubbles, it looks terrible, might fault I guess but now I have to order some more.
The case has a small slit on each corner to make it easier to put on, but that means it creaks a little when you use it. I'll try wireless charging in a few minutes, but first impressions are that its better than nothing, but not superb.

further to this, the case creaks and doesn't fit brilliantly. The top part obscures the IR blaster unless you keep pushing it upwards.
But it does work with a qi charger, but thats about the only good thing about it.
I'm now considering other options

Ive had my case for over a week now and its never creaked once? The only good thing? I think that's a little harsh. Out of the 3 cases i bought this is by far the best but each to there own
If i told it at the bottom the i can move the top right hand side with my thumb
, and if i hold the top and bottom (ie pick it up)the entire case flexes.
It just feels cheap, maybe i got a badly made one.

True.. I've got a back cover protector on my phone and the corner that has the antenna cutout doesn't fit properly. I feel as tho it wouldn't have creaked if there wasn't a cutout for the antenna.

Hi, I'm using this case since a month now... And what my disappointment when I removed it
All the back of my phone is scratched ! Since this case is cut on all sides, I guess a lot of dusts are getting in and stuck between the back cover of the phone and the protection case...
Anybody else with this issue ?

The Black/Black case regularly drops down to 1.77$ at night!!! Just a heads up!!!
I assume the two protrusions on the back are to protect the camera when laying the phone down with its screen up?

I ordered mine last Monday and chose the basic shipping and even though it said it wouldnt be here until late next week, it actually went out for delivery today!
Mine showed up today, woudl've got on earlier, but I've been playing the BF4 Beta all day Lol
I had to try different dhl sites for the tracking number to work, I think I searched "dhl global" into google.
I bought this before I was sure that I would buy an N3, and if I did I had something cheap to use right away. I also wanted to see how big it felt in my hands, case and all. (pocket too)
First thoughts:
Looks like it's well designed (or at least the mold for making it was).
It feels fairly thin to medium in the sense that it's not too thick, but not so thin it's too thin to provide protection.
I thought it was 2 seperate pieces, it's one piece, the back being hard and the sides being soft.
I would say that the back is about the thickness of 2 credit cards and the side is about 1 card thick.
Sorry I havent bought the phone yet, or else I would provide pics of it in the case.
I'm glad I bought this and well worth the under $10 shipped price tag.
Color affects the price btw, I think the clear ones were more expensive.
I may cut slots near the finger grips to provide more traction. I have a large case for my s2 that had a kickstand that broke out and left a rectangular hole in the center, it allows me to grab it with my finger tips and stretch my thumb all the way across the screen, without tilting my phone to let gravity keep it in my hand, which would cause the screen to rotate.
Plus the holes will help keep the battery cooler, a bit more important in the desert.
I just got it today, and got to say is pretty nice for the price, don't know why the pics show the name on the case but mine don't have it. Which I thought it would when I ordered it. No biggie.

Hello ,
I'm having this Idea about using a metal ring bumper case along with the S-View cover from samsung, That way i would get good protection +the good feeling of both metal and leather combined (I do love the leather-ish back and the part i am most concerned about is actually the plastic chrome plated frame of the phone)
Do you have experience with metal encasement? would you think it would effect signal strength if only the side frame was covered?
PS: Thats the only metal frame I've found on Amazon

I've ordered the poetic and s line cases. the s line case for my note 2 is fine although the stand is flimsy. it only cost 5 bucks though so what are you going to do. I'm hoping the stand for the poetic holds up when you press on the screen.
That aluminum bumper looks nice, until In noticed that weird bump out on the lower left corner as seen from the front. Likely for a lanyard loop, but wow, what an awkward execution of that feature.

Still looks awkward, but I guess it needs some means of latching.
This one is a little more protective, a little bulkier though.

I zoomed in on the picture and it looks like there will be no scratch protection for the back. You can see the fake stitching, so the back must stick out enough to scratch the cover & camera whenever you lay it down.
I'd also expect the inside of these aluminum bumpers to do horrible damage to the phone, it looks like there's no protection between the phone & the aluminum.
Can someone with an aluminum bumper comment, please?

I've never cared for carrying & changing batteries, so I like the wireless charging adapters. That way there's no need to remove the back. Even if you don't worry about scratching the back cover, bumpers don't protect the camera.
There's another aluminum bumper you might like, instead of needing to remove a screw to change batteries, the frame slides apart.

Sorry, I don't have a camera to take a picture of it at the moment.
The screen protector is the INVELLOP tempered glass, but I don't recommend this screen protector as they didn't cut the glass correctly. You have to angle the protector a bit to the right, or else it will kind of block the front facing camera. Once you do that though, it's not noticeable.
Got mine in. It's the same replica as the poetic bumper. It's sick though. Idk who's copying who but I love this thing. Can't wait to get my glass too.

Got mine too, very happy with it so far. The power button is a little stiff but I guess they designed it that way so you don't accidentally press the power button when it's in your pants.

The bumper will also work just fine with the Samsung Qi charging back.

I wish I could find an online store selling it, and shipping it to Europe (France actually).

I have had mine for about a week and a half now. The power button loosens up after about a week and it is much easier to press. Also, pay attention to take it off and clean underneath. After a week the backside of the bumper had trapped lots of "dirt". I normally would not care but the silver trim around the sides scuffed/scratched on my Note 2 due to this. Was minor but still annoying.

Sorry, it is dark here so the lighting is bad. The case fits great, all ports line up perfectly. There is enough of a lip on the front to lay face down with no issues. There is also enough on the back to clear the camera lens, but barely. Overall we'll worth the money and looks great.

I've had the 9H for 2-3 months now and mine has started to lift a little. It started last week and stretches from the upper left hand corner to the edge of the glass directly above the Samsung S.
It's no better than a $7 one from ebay and their CS is far from impressive.
Try the MIME USA Feather Glass, rated 9H and .15mm thick. Mine has been on for a couple of months and still looks brand new.

Flossy Carter made a review of this on youtube if you want to check it out!
I used the MIME Ghost Glass on my S4 and was amazing so I bought it for the Note 3 and I'm loving it as well. Plus lifetime warranty. It ever breaks... It's half price to replace as many times as you need to.
Thing about those lifetime warranties is that you could buy at least 2 generic ebay ones for the price of one MIME replacement (or w/e brand).
Yeah but they are better. The cheap ones a lot of the time don't add the oleophobic coating they start to look bad in a short amount of time. My S4 looks today like it did it did when i put it on back in June.
ive been using the iloome one for over a month now and it gets scratched REAL easy. then again ive been trying to see just how scratch resistant it is by sliding it around on a smooth table face down. and yeah it scratches SO easy wow. i havent tried other ones but im sure they all do.

No problems. But I do use the magnetic accessory from a spigen that holds the cover closed. The cover was able to stay closed before I used this magnetic addition, however after prolonged use (being flipped open and folded over) it would have a tendency to not lay flat on the screen. This was always a tendency of the S view cover and not due to the glass screen protector.

For anyone researching this case before buying, I thought I'd post my experience. I'll try to list the aspects of the case as I experienced them with the "unboxing" as it were.
First off, ecstatic that I finally would have some decent protection for my phone. I put on a screen protector and cheap case while waiting for the Kraken to become available. Nothing of huge interest opening the package or taking the case apart (I'd watched a lot of S4 Kraken videos).
The inner silicone Perseus case is REALLY flimsy. It took me a long time to get the front over the silicone without wrinkling it, it took me several tries. After that, the Perseus and front easily snap together with the back.
I had to take off the kickstand to get the case to lay flat. With the stand off, the rubber corners make contact with the desk and I don't have to worry about scratching surfaces.
With the phone screen turned off you can see what looks like oil or something between the protector and the phone but it seems to be lessening over the past 24hrs and this oil look isn't visible when the screen in on. There is increased Spen friction from the protector. I don't know if I'm just getting used to it, but it seems to be getting smoother. I've found the protector to be a lint magnet as well as smudges/fingerprints.
All sensors,microphones and speaker works fine. The speaker even seems louder now.
The headphone and charger flaps close firmly but not the Spen one.
The Spen is a pain to get out but I guess I'll get used to it.
There doesn't seem to be any glare from the flash when taking pics.
The power and volume buttons seem to work better with this case than on the cheap slim case I had on previously.
I find the case big: 3 5/8" x 6 3/8" x 5/8" not including the protruding corners ( 3 3/4" x 6 1/2" x 3/4" with corners)
Overall, I think this is a solid case with good protection but time will tell (I work in construction)
I forgot to mention a couple of things. There is rubber on the sides of the case where you grip it. This is also where the belt clip connects
The clip seems to grab well enough. I tugged at it in different directions and it held. The ratcheting tension seems weak though. I can see it wearing out fast. As far as how the phone looks on the belt, I think it looks kinda goofy but maybe I just have to get used to it.
Also, I got the tripod connector for the case. I don't know if Trident has different size connectors to match diferent phones but the one I have isn't long enough to clear the side of the phone. I'll have to try to modify the shoe on my tripod to get it to work.
Sounds interesting but a picture is worth a thousand words. Guess pics can be found elsewhere online.

Until I have a chance to upload pics, search for
Tridentcase dot com, and go to Note 3. All the specs and different pics are there.
I have released the Kraken on a couple previous phones and I have always ripped the built in screen protector out and deposited it in the trash. I was able to install a tempered glass protector with the Kraken on my S3.
Crappy pics
My old camera died again after taking these, part of the reason I got a new phone.

How well do the different mounts attach to the case i.e.. I have been looking for a way to put my note on my motorcycle handle bars. Would you trust it?

I can't speak for the bar mount, I never held it in my hand. But I can say that the tripod mount only actually clips into the case on one end of the mount. There is a lot of resistance when clipping it in and taking it off. I think initially you should be good but I would wonder after all the vibration it would take, would the clips start to loosen up? Trident does make a bar mount, but if it was me given the cost of the phone, I'd have another exoskeleton replacement when you start to see it loosen up. I think the trident mount has rubber inside of the area going around the bars so it should diminish the vibration.

It works fine. I haven't noticed any loss since I put it on. The compass needs constant calibration but I don't think that has anything to do with the case.
Had the kraken for my old gs3 and I don't like the corners on this version. It's a tank though.

The corners are pretty beefy for sure but they make for nice, quiet gripping on the back and the 4 sides. It's too bad they don't protrude past the face as well.
Just bought this case. So far so good.
I only have to complaints about this case
The power button is very hard to push down and use. Is anyone else having this problem?
Also the screen protector it comes with has the "bubble" effect I'm thinking about just taking it off. I already have a screen protector on there.
