I've seen mention of the bumper case in a few posts... is there anywhere to purchase it online? Or for that matter, anywhere to purchase it besides an AT&T store?
I haven't found it on Belkin's web site and the only other sites I've seen it on said it was "Out of Stock". I passed on buying it in the store because it was $35 and I know it isn't worth that much!

I agree it's not worth $35. I bought it at the at&t store the other day, and stopped using it today. The tiny amount of extra width it added to the phone was just too much for me. The OG feels much better in hand without a case. It is a little too slippery, though.

The Belkin case is a cheap piece of crap. I've already managed to crack the hard plastic shell taking it off to clean. And yes, it is very slippery.

I work at an AT&T in Ohio and we're getting Otterbox Commuter Cases for the e970 very soon. They're in stock at our distribution center just waiting for them to come to stores!
EDIT: bad news, we got the cases and they are definitely for sprint and we were instructed to send them back. Someone's in trouble -_-
Sent from my LG-E970
Hopefully we'll see Defender cases as well. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for the update. Too bad I just ordered a diztronic but I'll buy an otter box when that one wears out.

So, has anyone actually seen this advertised or available in public yet?
After dealing with Otterbox customer service I'd much rather have a Diztronic :laugh: I'm sure this will make a few people happy tho, so I'm happy for them.
They've had Otterbox commuters in black AND pink for the Sprint variant for a looong time now.
EDIT: I work at a Sprint in Southern California

Right, but considering the AT&T OG is larger than the Sprint version, meaning the cases won't fit each other, this is news.
Contacted otterbox and they said they have no plans to make such a case. So either otterbox or the op is full of it.

I contacted Otterbox before the Commuter for the OG was available to purchase, and the two CSRs that I talked to had no idea for which phone it's for (Sprint, AT&T, etc).

Not full of it actually. I was informed that the company ordered 800 of the sprint version and any stores that received them had to ship them back immediately.

I know right? How can I sell a phone that has no accessories available?
Sent from my LG-E970
Yeah - Looking for decent cases for it has been an adventure, to say the least. Especially for folks like me who really need a good solid protective one.

Diztronic FTW! My friend is ditching the otterbox for her HTC One X for a Diztronic case after seeing mine on my LGOG
I'm liking the diz case but for those who need superior protection or line of work requires lots of movement I move a lot of furniture a otterrbox is ideal. I got the best buy warranty so really if the front irc back breaks I'm going to get it replaced but for those who didn't get the warranty an letterbox is the best bet.

OP, update your first post//thread title so people don't get confused.
Just got this case in http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=290842834812&index=2&nav=SEARCH&nid=75614241091 fits perfectly.
Looks like it'll be a good alternative to the Otterbox for those that work outside.
I can post pics if requested once I get a chance.

I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.

Thanks, saw that one already though. Only seller available is charging $15 (after shipping) which is more than I'm willing to spend compared to $4 for the others. I ended up just ordering a clear one.
Is anyone willing to sell me their Flex mini suit case? They are no longer available online but I really want this case.
This case is the best in "slim" class. My recommendations.

I was actually referring to the Flex Minisuit case but thanks anyways.
I found this site and it has basically everything you need for your note 3. I'm not sure if it's been posted but it has a lot of case options plus a lot of pictures.

Looks like a cool site but really expensive. I like how they have a bunch of pictures of cases that haven't come out yet. But I would still wait till they are available and get them cheaper.
I like that they have the pictures as well. It gives you an idea as to what you may want to go with. I am interested in the Ballistic case and may get it but right now I'm rocking the Seidio surface holster deal and it's working but i haven't dropped it yet.

It's hit or miss with that site, what you see is not always what you get. Some sellers quality is better than others but you won't know until you get it in hand.

Still waiting and will not forget to post pics and probably do a video unboxing for this but it supposedly takes 25 to 60 days to arrive and the next one I will purchase will be the Slim armor with s-view which its relatively cheap. If anyone has pics that can post it would be greatly appreciated and will also start making unboxing of other ckver sthat I get from the site.

I have a real one (amazon) as well as a replica (aliexpress). The hole for the S-pen is too small on the replica unless your friends call you captain hook and you have trouble getting through security at airports. Waste of money as it cannot be easily modified to work better.

Here are the pics after almost 20 days waiting. It is of decent quality but the openings are not accurat. For instance the spen is really hard and I mean almost impossible to take out and the charger opening can be bigger but it worls just fine other than that for the price of less than 5 bucksi would buy another one in a heart beat.

I got mine today....
I ordered one from aliexpress. I received my case in 15 days, not bad at all. As for the quality of the case, I really can't complain, it says spigen neo hybrid, nothing like spagen or ned hibrid. The access to the ports work ok, the S-pen is a little harder to get but not impossible. The buttons feel a little shaky but not bad.
For 6.35 usd and free shipping I can't find for now anything wrong. I am sure there are great differences with the real one, but I don't have one to compare. You get what you paid for.
I got my case from this aliexpress seller:
http://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/6030859577.html
I would be happy to answer any question from you.
Oh I forgot, the seller provided a tracking number, that is not usual for an order with low value. So it's another plus for them.

I'm assuming, since that was their one and only post, that they do NOT have both cases! Heck, they probably don't even have one of them, real or fake. People normally don't bother to join a site just to make 1 short post. If they felt so strongly about the topic that they did go through the trouble of joining a site just to post, then you can be assured that they would reply when quoted and asked for more info on that topic!
Anyway, that out of the way. I appreciate your posts, pics, and info. It doesn't look bad at all, I was honestly expecting much worse! Unless someone has an authentic Spigen case in that same model, then they won't know the difference. I have an authentic Spigen Bounce case, but I wouldn't have known that yours was a knock-off had you not stated it.

Has anyone tried this case? I want to give it a shot but I wanted some feedback if someone has already tried it or has it.
Thanks!

Thanks, I have tried original spigen case for my S3 and I think they are overpriced. Specially for the newer model phone like our S3. I will buy the knock off instead. Thank you.
One question though, they do not accept paypal, and I am weary of giving out my credit card number. Did you use CC or bank transfer?
===========
Edit:
I couldn't resist the temptation so I ordered 2 cases. Slim Armor and Neo Hybrid both for $13 delivered. We'll see when they get here next month.
I've seen some killer deals on that site, but always wondered about the sketch-factor, so have never placed an order. However, after getting a feel for what they're all about through this thread, I'm feeling some temptation to grab one of these S-View cases: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...-N9000-Elegant-Stylish-Design/1347667183.html
Anyone have one? Thoughts?
Regarding the problem with the S-pen hole in the Neo Hybrid knock-off, I'd probably just grab a drill with any medium sized bit, then run the drill and use the side of the bit to "sand" around the edges to widen and align the hole. Seems like that would work on plastic, unless I'm missing something?

I got one of these and after a couple of minutes with a sharp knife and small file I was able to enlarge the s-pen opening. Now no problems.
