I couldn't find any recommendation on a case with camera protection, please let me know if you have any.

Case mate tough case

Depends how much protection you're looking for. The one I got from TPU-cases.com protects the camera well enough for my needs.
Thanks guys, will look into all those cases, i had otter box defender, i guess i should have mentioned that i would preffer something that wouldn't make the phone as big, although i did appriciate the degree to whitch the phone was potected with this case.
Ebay "evo 3d tpu" paid $2. 75 for mine... Shipped. Best investment I made for this device. Provides protection, has side grips, protects camera, ugly design.... What else more could you ask for for under $3? But for real I love this cheap tpu case.

I love TPU cases... slim, tight fit with full protection from scratches and light drops.

I am loving my tpu case too. Got mine on Amazon from TPU-Cases. Ordered a second one with a different style just today.

I had to buy the Zenus leather wallet case, for now. I'm waiting for something better with better protection and durability. Waiting for Seidio..
There are really thin cases you just have to look

You're not happy with the Zenus wallet case? I ordered it and have it coming. It looks like a good case to me.
I recommend the Ringke Slim . . . very minimalist. Pretty expensive for what you get, though, and the screen protector was kind of crap.

The case is good for what's it for. I like it so far but I'm not satisfied. The only problem I'm having is having to fold the cover back when I have to use it like text messaging. It's a hindrance.
Exactly ,the folding cases make things difficult

I ordered a different case from Zenus and another wallet case but in black with the stand on the back. It's the same price as the brown nubuck leather case. And one of their graffiti silicon case. I'll be switching between whichever I feel like using.
I'm planning on going completely naked. No cover, no case except maybe a belt case. Not sure I'll want to keep this in my pocket.
The $7 TPU cases are quite thin, at least until you find something you like. You can also order a Neoprene sleeve or the OEM sleeve to keep it in while in your pocket. I ordered them and the Neoprene one was $4 and the OEM 25
I tried one of the "ultra thin tpu cases" for sale on ebay and so far, I'm loving it. The case really is ultra thin, and mine is clear frosted so it also adds a bit of grip.
Note, it offers zero face protection, and only covers up to the chrome bezel on the sides.

Fits really well for being thin and flexible, and the slimmest case I've seen so far.

Wow that's thin. Thanks for posting the link, I hope I can still find this when I get my note this summer. That looks really nice on the white Note
I bought two cases.
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Samsun...S0WO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1329718439&sr=8-9
The empire case, i use when I'm at home. It's almost like not having a case at all. Protection for the left and right sides and the back are there. Top and Bottom are open as well as the front of the screen.
When I go out of the house, I transfer to the Zenus Wallet Case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/samsung-gal...784392?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4600c77d08
It's great for going out...protects the phone reasonably well and I don't have to carry a separate wallet. Oh it the case itself looks AWESOME!
The body of the One is sleek and you don't want to hinder the look of it. But most of us probably wants to keep it looking it like that, so I was wondering what kind of cases people have. I just ordered the Diztronic TPU aluminum grey version for the One because people have been say its see through and adds minimal bulk to it.
Don't have it yet, but will update when I do receive it.
Share what you have and what you like about it. Also if you want, share a picture. Thanks guys

I heard that the Poetic Atmosphere interferes with the IR blaster because the power button is covered. How do you cope with it or do you not use the iR blaster?
Otterbox Defender.
It's currently the only case I would trust considering how thick it is. If I accidentally drop my phone with a flimsy silicone skin on it, that's not going to do a thing to protect it.

When I received mine two days ago it included a note that in mid-May they will automatically send out an updated version that solves the IR issue and that there was nothing I had to do. That's pretty awesome commitment to quality and customer service.

The Poetic case is made of pieces of polycarbonate plastic bonded with hard rubber (silicone?) will. Polycarbonate is nearly bullet proof (used in safety glasses) and the hard rubber absorb impacts. The fit is very precise and tight, so I wouldn't expect the phone to fly out of the case when dropped.
i alternate between a cruzerlite TPU case and an otterbox cummuter. i like how the cruzerlite still keeps the phone slim but i feel more protected when i have the otterbox on.

I have a cruzerlite as well and an incipio. But will be installing a full body skin soon. Cases take away the beauty of the One
I first had a poetic atmosphere but recently switched to an otterbox commuter which i really like
I just bought the Incipio feather shine at my local Fry's. It's not as good protection as an Otterbox but it does protect the back and should prevent scuffs if dropped on a corner.
I bought the Bear Motion case. I like the texture of it a lot.
Wow....you all have cases that make mine sound crappy. I have a *Speck with the extra gripping. It's not bulky. Definitely hard to get the phone in and out of. It was this or the …there one AT&T had. And I don't remember what that was

That would be the casemate tough case. It's what i am running and it's great. Still maintains a sleek profile while offering great protection. I couldn't bring myself to put a huge otterbox on the one, and this I feel is the next best thing.
The only thing I dislike about it is that the cutout for the camera is larger than it needs to be, and if something were to press hard into your pocket it could get to the camera glass.

Yeah and I like the grip it offers. I agree about the camera cutout. Also makes the volume buttons useful

Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
There really isn't much selection out there right now. Wondering what upcoming cases you guys are anticipating announced or not. I personally, am hoping that someone puts out a sview knock off that is more practical, and a bit cheaper.
$50 is my absolute limit for a case.
Interested to see what cases you guys, are looking forward too.
I wish I could get GodyGlove hybrid case. This case saved my Note 2 from falling.
But now I have to settle with Tech21 for now.
UAG Scout with the dot/dash pattern
Body Glove is usually good about having cases out at launches but I'm sure they will release a Fusion case with stand soon I hope. I also love Speck slim clear cases and again no idea why they don't have one out at launch.

With Note II I had the original flip case and I was very happy with it. Again now with Note III I seem to like wallet flip case most.
Ideally I'd love something like wallet flip case with no logo in the outer part and made of high quality leather.

To be honest I have never used to ring lol. The case it's no different than any other knockoff case on eBay but for the price mine is awesome. My boy purchased an otterbox and his case is not $50 worth better than mine by no means

you get what you pay for..
a lot of these ebay knockoff cases are made of inferior plastics, fit, finish, and put together with weak clips, pins, springs. The you are subjecting your 800.00 phone to a potential drop and HOPE it will dampen or cushion the fall.
Dont gamble..Buy a big name proven case- Otterbox Defender/Commuter, trident Krakken, cyclops,aegis, Ballistic sg maxx, UAG or seidio active.
Let me put it another way...If you had a Lamborghini Exotic, would you buy a 25.00 car cover to protect your paint? or Insure your Lambo with El Cheapo policy by Rico Suave? No you would buy the protection it deserves! My Note 3 got the Krakken from Trident..TOUGH CASE, and peace of mind when I drop it. ( there is no if..It's only a matter of time...)
it's really looks great, but needed or it's only for 1 mounth how a toy?

That's where your wrong lol I have the griffin knock off that I bought off ebay and threw my phone out the 3rd floor window just for the heck of it and it didn't break and I did it 2 times. I would buy a lamborghini and put a cheap protective plastic over it why? Because if you have the money to afford a lamborghini you should have the money to get it fix maintain incase accidentally damaging it on that note by all means it's like me paying for a big name like apple your clearly just paying for the name like bose your paying for the name I seen cases that outdone the otterbox cases. I had them before the plastic rips or gets cracks after a lot of drops while I had the ballistic max and that one was better. How do I know I always have more than one case for my phone.

This case is protects the phone just as much as the otterbox if not more. I will admit the materials are not the same but then again, otterbox = $60 ebay case $9.99
