loving the case so far. here are some pics. i tried the hdr function on my camera and it looks real goofy in some pics. just an fyi.
It looks good. I ordered one in red after a week of debating. Still waiting for it to come in. I just wish it came with a strap.

no corner protection and if you put cards in there it would be thicker than it is, but it is a nice looking case

I ordered one after much debate because my Note is too worthy to be buried in my purse. I'm waiting on a full body skin from decalgirl or skinit for the times it will be carried in my hand only. I have a cheap TPU case from ebay but I'm not happy with it.
I don't plan on having it in this case the whole time, "he" will have different outfits depending on what I have to do and where I have to go. This will be when I don't want to carry my purse around but need the essentials.
Residue on Glass from Zenus Case
Hi,
I have the same type of case, but the blue/tan version. I find that the case appears to leave a residue on the glass of my Note. I noticed this as soon as I started to use the case, but I assumed that it was due to a leftover from manufacturing and it would go away. It hasn't. I have even tried to clean the inside of the case that faces the glass and I still get a residue. I clean the glass with an eyeglass lens cleaner.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, have you been able to correct it?
I have the zenus folio in all black, it's basically the same case only all black. I haven't had any trouble with anything transferring to the screen.

I am starting to think that the residue may be skin oils that transfer to the case because of the way I hold the the case. I flip the cover around the backanx hold it thag way. I know, TMI

I had a very similar case for my note 2. best case I ever had imo. Nice and bulky

That looks like a good case, and they also have an s-view style case for $30, but I'll probably get the cheapest case I can find and wait for Spigen to make a slim armor view then put a wireless charging insert inside the Note 3 cover. At first I wanted a Samsung s-view with charging built in, but then I saw a picture of the Slim Armor View cover for the S4, and that looks like FAR better protection.

wow looks nice
I wonder if they will have contrasting colors available later idk about just all black
edit: d'oh didn't notice the color dropdown
PS- one thing i notice about most of the cases is that they cover the bottom right corner mic, i wonder how call quality will be affected

Definitely a must have!!

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?
Hey,
My dad's looking to get into the smartphone game and I'm telling him to get a Note III instead of the S4, only thing is there's no otterbox out right now, anything else that might protect the phone in a heavily dusted environment (he paints and does home improvement/carpentry for new homes), I need something very durable.
He's coming from a ravine that's taken a beating for a long time, what do you guys suggest?
I need something similar too.. Rugged + Belt clip..
Only two cases I have found so far have been otterbox and seidio but neither is available yet..
Does anyone have any eta for otterbox? Why on earth are they not readily prepared for such a major flagship phone??!!! *end of rant*

they did the same thing last year with the Note II.
I personally go either naked or flip cover (which is damn near naked, just an added flap), so I didn't care.
Now I care

Started looking again after I posted for more cases.. Had to see if anyone else has one in the queue..
Came across this link for mobilefun note3 tough cases..
So from that I noticed that Ballistic is making a case and theirs looks like it would be pretty good too.. It isnt available yet so not many pictures..
Here is link to theirs.. note 3 case..
Because I wanted pictures I found the same model under an S4 so I bet the design is similar..

I have a case very similar to this on my Note 2 and found it to be a very tough case that has saved my phone several times. I think it would do the trick and for the price it was one of the best investment for my phone.

Just ordered a Note 3 myself and a wireless charging receiver and a case will be the first two things I look into.
I had that one for some reason the plastic part was a little bit too sticky when you put it in your jeans you better be prepared to put in effort to get it out I'm not sure if it was because it got wet or why. But this case is good only issue with it is the home button area can get a bit annoying

Not sure this one offers as much protection as you are looking for, one reviewer says it is closer to the Otterbox commuter rather than the defender. I do like the fact that it also has covers for the ear phone and charging port, so that should be a bonus for keeping the dust/dirt out. I needed a holster case combo, and needed it quick so I ordered this one last night with express shipping. I can post an update on how it is once it is received. For the price, seems like it was worth a shot, but hopefully I won't regret it.

Since he doesn't need a belt clip, he should get a UAG case (Urban Armor Gear)! I have a UAG case for my Note 2 and love it! It is by far my favorite tough case out of all the companies who make them. I used to really like Otterbox cases, but since using a UAG case I'd never go back to an Otterbox! Otterbox offers great protection, but their style is a little plain. UAG offers protection AND style, so you get the best of both worlds. You also get a UAG screen protector with each case you order. I used their screen protector on my Note 2 and it's actually very nice, unlike Otterbox screen protectors which scratch and begin to look bad very quickly. I bought the white and black UAG for my Note 2. After many months of use, it looks just as good as the day I took it out of the box! The white has never yellowed like most white cases do, and there are no scratches on it, even after a few drops. Also, they have a lifetime warranty on their cases, so they'll replace it for free if you ever needed to for any reason. Their Note 3 case isn't available quite yet, but they'll ship in 5-7 days after you order.
EDIT : Here's the link to their Note 3 cases. They offer it in dark blue, white, orange, and black.

Out of all of those options, I think I like the UAG ones the best, they look sweet!
The only thing I'm worried about is the front not being covered up too well, might have to get him glass screen protector like mine
TechMatte makes amazing screen protectors!!! They just produced them and sent me one for testing, so I don't think they are available for sale to the general public just yet. I'll ask them and see when they'll be available. Ghost Armor is another great choice of you don't wanna wait! I've been using Ghost Armor for years, and they've been my favorite. Just recently, today actually lol, I've decided that TechMatte is now my favorite!!

I have the blue one which is not glossy. Its not slippery at all. Its my favorite case so far. I also have the hybrid. It feels good in the hand and doesn't really add much bulk. No scratches yet.
I have the blue slim armor. Like it is causing issues with my power button. The power button is not working correctly with the case installed. Anyone else?

Just cleaned up my slim armor case with windex found after cleaning it has a much better grip and doesn't fingerprint much at all. Also buffed out most of the what I thought was scratches. From the last 2 weeks. Cleaned off the screen and pen as well pen stopped leaving marks I has to wipe off.
My soul black slim armor case arrived today. For the past 2 weeks I've been using a neo hybrid satin silver, but I decided to buy this case. Just in case either of them break, I have a good backup. The only complaint I have is that the back is super glossy and attracts alot of finger prints.But it's ok
Got the metal slate. Compared to the neo hybrid, this case feels better on my hand. Fits like a glove and doesn't add that much bulk.

Has anyone had any problems with actually dropping this phone because it has slipped out of their hand?

I do love this case, great protection with a moderate price. However, a little disappointed that the back gets scratched so easily. I have had the metal slate for 10 days, and there are scratches everywhere
