I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid but I am looking for a thinner case that adds less width to the phone. Minimal protection is sufficient.
I bought a Ringke slim on ebay. Hard slim case. 9.99. I love it. Adds hardly any size to phone and its cheap

Does it comes with the hole for sling? I used to have one for my Note 2. Slim and light but minimal protection.
I have all the spigen cases for the note 3, i think the best one is the bounce, the crappiest one is the neo hybrid.
And yes the thinnest is the bounce, and the thickest is the slim armor

thinnest ive found. even thinner than the Spigen air and ringke slim
search ebay for "0.3mm note 3 case". It's basically a semi hard plastic wrap/case that is super thin and only provides scratch protection. They're dirt cheap too. like $1 each. I bought a dozen and can replace them at will.

I had these on my note 2 and they were great but I couldn't find them anywhere for my note 3... I like it with no case the best but we'll see how it goes with this one. Thanks for the link.

Too much bulk... And I've had bad experiences with bumpers messing up the signal. I don't really care about drop protection, just want to protect it from scratches and dirt.
Diztronic is the thinnest TPU I've used, it was ten bucks shipped from Amazon and fits in the holster that the Seido surface uses.

Agreed.. I've tried both caseology cases and also bear motion bumpers.. and some other ones. Diztronic by far the thinnest while still covering all sides of the phone.

Only the corners are protected and it's actually one of the lightest cases and since it's made of rubber you wont have signal interruptions. Only metal bumpers cause those.
Do any of the suggested covers and bumpers raise the back to protect the camera?

He's spot on, have them all as well. Bounce is by far the best. The tough armor is a close second. Hybrid is absolute rubbish.

Just got my case today and it works great just like my Note 2 did... It's nice for scratches and covers a good part of the phone. Fits nicely and adds a nice grip to it I like better than the back.
Just received a White UAG today.....Thought i'd do a quick comparo with a Slim Armor (Metal Slate) that I've had on for the last few weeks. Don't get me wrong....both these cases are a excellent choice and I'll be swapping between them both. I'll add to this list after a few days of use as well.
UAG over the Slim Armour Case
- Tighter Fit
- More Lightweight
- Grippier Sides (thanks to the Honeycomb Pattern)
- Lip on the front is bigger (more face protection)
- Bigger Hole for the micro USB 3.0
- Bigger Hole for headphone Jacks
- More rugged masculine looking
- Slighly more camera protection (Deeper Groove)
- 1 piece deisgn
- Bigger Hole for IR Blaster
- Least resistant to cosmetically scratch
Slim Armor Over the UAG case
- Classier Sleeker Prossional look
- Cutouts are more professonally done/ finished
- 2 piece design (could be a con)
- Slighly Thinner
- Cheaper (depends where you get it from but in my case it was $6 cheaper)
On Par-
- Tactile Buttons for the Power and Volume are excellent
- Both have "feet" on the back to protect the case
- Both excellent designs and looks
- Both I think could take a fairly big hit or drop and do the job intended
- Both go very well with a Glass.t tempered screen protector
I feel that the SA has significantly worse tactile feedback for the power button. The SA power button is more recessed and mushy. The SA also has a crappy cutout for the headphone port, most earbuds won't fit unless the plug is skinny like on the samsung headset. The UAG opening practically fits every 3.5mm plug I've tried.
we hope to see some great pics if it possiple

Man that is a tuff choice. Cant wait to see some pics soon. Love they way both look.
Thanks for the pics. The UAG is bulkier but lighter?
Also, is the Slim Armor Metal Slate the only non-glossy/shiny color? Looks good.

Yeah the UAG is a fair bit lighter. Its weird that the UAG is that much thicker because when its on the phone you'd think the slim armor is bulkier.
I think the slate is the only not glossy one of that series. ..that was one of the reasons why I got that color.

I can confirm that after nearly a weeks use.... I believe the UAG case is more of a keeper than the slim armor.....it just feels better on the phone. The lightweight construction is a massive plus. The Grippier sides and the better designed face lip are all a bigger advantage. I'm extremely impressed by this case.

from here.....comes with free shipping. probably took 10 or so business days from order to delivery...and that was to Australia....quicker to US i'd imagine?
SlimArmor FTW
UAG Worth its money
I got my white UAG case along with my white GN3. Although i tried no other case on it, i have to say i'm impressed by its looks and construction. The case is stunnigly use friendly and the added bulk is beneficial to have a steady grip in the little monster (at least for my hands). The one piece hybrid design is better than i thought since the rubber part is sturdier and less of a dirt sweep than a 2 piece (had otterbox in my hd2 and casemate in my gn1 with the latter being a total disappointment).
On the plus side if you favor cases that draw attension uag will pimp your gn3 like no other. Most of my tecnology illiterate friend notice the case before the phone.
Finally i can confirm that UAG has free shipping with their cases and the delivery time was about 8 days for me.
What about the issue with the missing cutout for the temp/humidity sensor (whatever that is)? Has there been a v2 which fixed it?
No issue now with the cut out. ...they fixed it a few weeks back.

are you able to tell me which one can connect to the multimedia dock without removing the case?
currently using the PDAIR booktype slim case and it fit on the multimedia dock but the top two side plastic is crack and about to break soon.
I am on a market for a new case that fit on the multimedia dock. Currently thinking of buying the Seidio Surface case as it looks like it can fit the dock and has a kickback stand.
Can someone confirm for me

Just for day to day use, I don't do anything too extreme that would put my phone at too much risk. Right now, I'm using a tempered glass screen protector with the Otterbox Defender.
Defender makes it too thick for my tastes, and I want a case that is thinner and more aesthetically pleasing.
If anyone has the Neo Hybrid or other Spigen cases, I would appreciate any experiences with any drops you might have had.
Also, how are bumper cases? Referring to the aluminum ones that don't cover the back.
Yes, the best of the best for me is this one

I like this one but doesnt ship in us
Ringke Slim. Slimmest available with protection on all sides, raised edge around the screen and raised edge around the camera. You can put it down any way you want and anywhere you want, still provides some level of hit protection (kinda from your pocket to normal floor). Just what you need for home/school/office. And cheap. Or Seido surface - slightly thicker, expensive but with kickstand.
I am using this one right now. This one is slim and hand-feel also good. Earlier I used Neo Hybrid by Spigen but that one made my note 3 bulky.

I have a Ringke slim and the one from the link below. I like both of them equally. The bumper is hard and not flexing, I put it on the phone and there is no movement.

I don't know. The UAG and the commuter seem to have similar bulk, I have both. Good option for the op might be a slim armor and a glass screen protector. I have the slim as well, protection is good enough from the sides and back but the front protection is quite shallow compared to the UAG and Commuter.

It's too slippery for my tastes and doesn't really offer protection, but good enough until my Spigen arrives tomorrow.

Apparently the rhino bumper looks good, couple that with a decent skin and youre set. It definitely needs something, far too slippy and it will almost certainly not survive a drop.

I know... I've never heard of them either, but dang am I impressed. So I'm only gonna share images of my current favourite from their range, which is the tempered glass back transparent case. Now this case provides a truly premium look and feel to the device, showing off the twilight colour variant the most being completely transparent on the back with a sheet of very smooth glass for that high quality feel. It is seamlessly fused into the rest of the case which is a grippy tpu type material, round all sides of the device. The cameras are recessed by a maximum of 1mm or less. It is recessed and then four corners of the case on the back are slightly raised for further clearance. So a total of 2mm clearance for the cameras.
The lip on the front is too minimal but I have a TGSP on there and the lip is flush with the TGSP, in terms of clearance. This is an aesthetic strength for me as the case is remarkably minimal compared to other cases of this choice of material and design. The sides are not so thick that it alters the grip your hand is used to when handling the phone naked, unlike most cases.
Ultimately, the case makes it feel as though your handling another phone of slightly greater thickness, resulting from that cold smooth touch front and back of the device owing to the glass there. A very classy case indeed!
I thoroughly recommend their OTHER soft matte smooth flexi case https://www.amazon.co.uk/ESR-Huawei...=1532884109&sr=8-6&keywords=esr+p20+pro+case. That case feels really natural to the touch due to that soft touch finish. It is very minimal, contrary to other cases that go with a similar finish. It is the lowest profile case I used for this device, IN THIS MATERIAL. It repels fingerprints well, too. Even this 'more typical' case has a white grid finish in the inside. It's their attention to detail that stands out.

ESR doesn't supply a TGSP for the display. Their case has glass on the back, not for the front of the display but the back of the case.
I used Spigen and it had halo effect for me. I now use G Color, with nearly no halo at all and good oleophobic coating. I have used Klearlook too, which were the best in my opinion. The problem with Klearlook was they were maximum coverage which is good for only very few cases out there. Otherwise, they are my recommendation. G Color works fine for me too.

Please explain the two black bands... I don't understand.
The full body screen protectors cover the side and top very well with black borders. I think that's what he's talking about.
And I would love to know if the esr screen protector works with the ears cases.
Because I have a full body screen protector myself and was going to buy the esr cases but wanted to know if the full body screen protector with the borders will work for this case.
Thanks in advance
