I pre ordered from Amazon. Terrible to order on the 12th and still in limbo thus far. I'm used to waiting and usually okay with it as long as the other end let's me know the reason at least. I won't be giving them a bad review on Amazon though. The review is meant to be for the case itself. I can always warn other customers about their business practices, but the review should focus and reflect on the quality of their product.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
I did the same and it says it should ship tommorow.

Are the glass protector any good? What are the advantages?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mrlaigle:
Amazing. First one I got was on the s4. Feels like a real scree. Coming from always using screen protectors the difference us hard to explain with words. It's really like going from touching plastic to glass.

The scratch less as well. I recommend getting the thinnest that you can find. I hope they come out with the slim as they did with the s4. But the glass.t will work for now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Spigen has them as coming soon on their site, but you can't order from their site. If you order from Amazon they ship from Spigen so I think they are using Amazon as a better method for managing the large amount of product orders. I have (2) cases, (2) types of screen protectors coming, shipping on 9/30.

Their Glas.tR is awesome. I had it on the HTC One and GS4 and there is nothing like glass for a screen protector. They are not cheap but neither is the screen itself. I have backup crystal clear screen protectors (film) from Spigen as well just in case I have an issue I am not going naked on the glass.

The feel, the responsiveness, the oleo-phobic glass is just awesome.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i always order from spigen wonder if i should wait til they go live on their site or order from amazon. dont know when the note 3 is going to get delivered. i have to believe preorders will be delivered a day or two before 10/10
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I don't see why you should wait. If you get your order in now you will have it before it arrives from Verizon. If you wait you may be left waiting for back ordered stock which you won't want.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DMax99:
Thanks guys,

Are the glass screen protectors easier to get scratched compared to their normal crystal ones? Also, are they easily shattered?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
check the spigen website for the GS4 and there are a couple youtube videos screwdriver scratch test, water. etc... i dont have enough posts to post the URL sorry... google is your friend though.... :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mrlaigle:
Harder to scratch and no they do not shatter easily. Glass screen protectors are where it's at.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DMax99:
I think I will have to get one for my GN3 ;D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DK253:
For those who have had this case before for any other phone, is the case pretty slim/skinny? Don't want to add too much bulk to the phone. But am scared of going naked...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i had on my gs4 and it wasnt bad at all. i will buying another for the note 3. doesnt add that much
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I had it for the GS4 (returned the GS4 to get the GN3) and sold the case. It offers a great slim profile and no bulk at all. As for the screen protectors, Spigen's Glas.t series offer exceptional hardness and takes the brunt of a drop instead of your screen if it happens to fall.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I never use screen protectors but was thinking of trying a glass one. I like the slick screen feel with nothing on it. And every screen protector I've used have never been as slick as the naked glass
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] clninja:
Does the s pen still work perfectly with the glass screen protector?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
I like the look of this case, but after watching some reviews it doesn't look like it offers much protection to justify the price. Anyone had any experiences dropping a phone with this case on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markysd:
black note 3 with that metal slate/clear ultra screen protector is my combo im going for..:victory:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ARTAQaf:
yes perfectly :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
has anyone used both the neo hybrid and the slim armour from spigen? what were your impressions? i think i'm leaning toward the slim armour with the polycarbonet back instead of the rubber (TPU) back of the neo hybrid....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i bought both. neo hybrid satin silver and slim armour in black
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] c-mack:
you bought both of them for the note 3? or you've bought and used both of them previously? Just wondering how each feels and protects...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] atuarre:
Spigen has awful customer service. Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markysd:
yeah no point in emailing them.. they are like 1 and half away from where i live up in irvine i think... not worth the time to go there.. must be out of stock and its shipping from china or something :eek: i tried curzerlite cases on amazon and it says ships out on nov 4 so i canceled it.... might just have to bust a kangaroo and get a pouch for now
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] digitalyosh:
Yeah even me living in San Bernardino county, it should have came to us already for being "in the area". The phone itself feels great and any slim case would do for the time being but there are moments I look at the phone and wonder if it really needs a case. However I know one drop and I would regret that decision.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Tweh:
I had to pick up a case from T-Mobile. It's pretty strong, but I still don't feel like my phone is complete until I get the case. I think when I get the case I will start all over setting up the phone. :p

---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

Smart. I get tempted like that as well, then I imagine it hitting the floor and picking it up and finding a small scratch that would end it all for me :thumbdown:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markysd:
yup thats what i feel.. the phone feels great and looks good.. just a nice screen protector will do.. but man if i drop it and i get a dent i would just go OCD crazy even if i didnt break anything.. i need a nice slim case with a some what rubber/matte grip.. also i been emo about putting it in my pocket lol.. not really a fan of the chrome sides but i know it will scratch up and get scuffs i already see little ones:silly:

my co workers were checking it out today and i was like OMG dont drop it dont drop it..dont put it in your pocket:eek:

also not really digging the back cover.. im getting something else.. but yeah we have to baby our note 3 for now and you know sh!t happens when least expected....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AFAngryWarrior:
Ooooh I SO want the orange one! It's not shipping until October 24th so I'll have to wait a bit to receive it but THANK YOU for posting or I wouldn't have even known they were making one for the Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] djhyphy:
What was it about the case that didn't work with the surface holster. Was it too big to fit in the holster? And do u think it will fit in a seidio active holster?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cmjkxa:
Ordered my case from Spiegen on Oct 5 and just got it today.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Ordered a red one on Amazon last night, showed available on the 16th (today). Will see. My note 3 won't be here until Friday anyway.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kitsinni:
I was going to order one but all the price changing, date changing and reports of poor customer service made me go a different direction.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billf2b:
It was too big. I also wonder if the Neo Hybrid case would fit a Seidio Active holster, but I've never had an Active holster before for any of my phones, only Surface ones. In the meantime, I've ordered the Surface combo, since I know it will fit the Surface holster and I have a tendency to break the clips on the Seidio holsters. This will give me a spare holster.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] djhyphy:
Thanks for your reply!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Medic1013:
I got the Red colored case but not really liking it. The case is great but the color isn't doing it for me.

PM me if anyone is interested in it.

Grande Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JawjaBill:
Fakes have hit fleabay. Note the misspelling of hybrid.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stang9779:
That's too funny. I glad I didn't get a misspelled knock off.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dmitt25:
This is getting ridiculous. I ordered mine (silver) on October 1st. I also got the tempered glass screen cover. I received my pre-shipping notification on Oct 5th. On Oct 8th I got an email stating that the tracking information was a mistake, that they wouldn't be shipping out until mid October. Well that sucks but OK. But then, I see people on here who ordered on the 12th of Oct getting their cases before me! WTH!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] moot1:
Is there a way to only buy the color bands. I ordered the case in slate, but would also like it in yellow, without having to buy a whole other case.

THANKS!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Rippley05:
Good decision. I've been waiting for something since the start of the month. Says shipped but no other info. Estimated date has passed. I've emailed them everyday for over a week and I get zilch. They have already taken the money from my account too. Spigen is the definition of poor customer service.

sEnt from thE noTe 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bowhunter3210:
Placed my order sept. 28... they took my money and it has been in limbo in tell today.. delivery date set for 17th from USPS site..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Antivanity:
Damage

My case finally came in today, nearly 7 days late from their supposed delivery date. And it has damage.. thought SPIGEN was a top notch case company ? Oh well. refund and look for something different i guess :(

The quality of the 'bumper' that goes around the case is pretty horrible. It feels like the cheapest possible plastic they could find. Not pleased.. at all. :rolleyes:

Edit: Just noticed the whole bumper part is warped. Check out new photo added.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
Is this the best case at the moment in terms of keeping design of the phone but also great beotection from drops
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] krelvinaz:
Noticed this morning Amazon shows it now as In Stock.

Later, I Got shipping notice from Amazon.

Your estimated delivery date is:

Monday, October 21, 2013 - Thursday, October 24, 2013

But there is no tracking number associated with it yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
Once I buy this case can I buy the different colours to change it separately?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sc2ascend:
Wondering the same thing. Anybody know where we can buy the interchangeable outer frames?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
What is the difference between the Mime ghost glass and the spigen glass
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
I also had damage by the USB port I emailed them but no response.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
Which colour did you order
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Antivanity:
Can you post pictures ? I dont want them coming back at me blaming for this damage.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mofo84:
metal slate
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gharris040604:
This blows I was really thinking about ordering this case for my N3 due to the spigen case I have on my G2 is flawless
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
The bumper of this case is having a notorious reputation, some complain of chipping off the color, some complain of the color degradation.

I used to have a neo hybrid on my S4 in white color, and the color of the bumper wore of after a few weeks.. started looking yellowish brown.

I hope they have improved on their quality yet??
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chronos7:
I ordered my case from spigen 3 weeks ago and it was supposed to come between the 10th and the 15th and still no case... I'll never buy from this company again... Customer service is horrible!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 95SKY:
I'm looking at one of these cases (spigen Neo), i used a Otterbox Defender on my Note 2. Do you think they offer good protection from drops etc? I dont really want the bulk anymore as i have been using a cheap case off ebay and seem to like the feel of a slimmer case. Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
I've bought myself a cheap eBay copy for 7.99 instead of 19.99! Didn't want to sit and wait as everywhere says preorders ect... Hopefully once the demand cools down the quality will improve as they aren't rushing to meet demands and I'll buy one then. But still... Everyone who has em.. They look awesome!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Antivanity:
Can you link to the cheapo version ?

attempted to cancel order, get shipping info instead of reply...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Runamuck0870:
Same, asked to cancel last week, no reply but a shipping number. Now the tracking shows "en route to shipper" for over a week. Finally got a reply stating might be next week before they actually ship.

I'm trying to get Amazon to cancel order for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gordonzhao:
I'd just revoke the charges on my card.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markysd:
just got this..ill get it on sat :D had this case for my GS3/NOTE1.... still no movement on tracking and it says ill get it next month or end of this month..http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FCMT41W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Do you see in that cheapo version hole for the pen guys? i dont see that

Also i had ordered a original at 9th of month... in amazon it says shiped but i see this in tracking

This means the package hasnt left from spigen yet right?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
They look like s4 variants of the case, mine should arrive today... Will post pics for the white one :eek:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
maybe yours was fake, only amazon and spigen.com sell real ones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bobbyphoenix:
And eBay. On their official site they have links to their official Amazon and eBay stores.

Sent from a Galaxy Note 3 far, far away....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] wrichards2009:
A lot of these posts sound fraudulent on Spigen's part. If you bought it on Amazon id definitely report it to them,they'll revoke their sales account in Amazon if they have too many complaints
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
Anyone know where to get the changeable colours for the case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] peng1can:
I added this comment to a few of the amazon reviews, but it may get a little more attention here. I emailed Amazon customer service about Spigen's deceptive shipping practices. They acted genuinely concerned and opened a ticket on my behalf allowing Spigen to respond to my claims. In addition, they provided the following link where you can report sellers who are violating policies:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/reports/

For those who have never sold on Amazon, the star rating is less important to amazon than a handful of metrics that they track and report back to you. Among those are a few stats like % of orders shipped on time, % that aren't cancelled by your, etc. If you fall too much in any category, your account automatically gets flagged for review (sucks if you only sell 1-2 items a month like me - one error and you're at 50%). I'm confident that the reason Spigen was lying to everyone about shipping dates was so that their amazon account would not get flagged for failing to ship so many orders. Hopefully, if enough of us report them, they'll learn that cheating your customers in order to game the system doesn't pay off in the long run.

Just received my NH case for GN3 and the Steinheil Ultra Crystal, after ordering them directly from spigen.com on Oct 1st.

17 days from ordering to delivery from the USA to Greece. I guess it's acceptable, considering...

I know the SP is kinda off-topic, but I just have to say how awesome it is. Best fit ever and the installation couldn't go any better. No spec of dust no air bubble. And it honors its name with the Crystal Clear moniker. Touch and S-Pen work superbly.

The NH case is exceptional as well.

Makes the whole thing (GN3+Case) look like a behemoth but you can see that your investment is well protected.

Both products came in pristine condition and each had its own authentication code.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Antivanity:
Nope, i got mine off Amazon. Right here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZOPI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jdubsss:
I bought this and returned it immediately. It makes the phone so much wider that it's uncomfortable to use with 1 hand. With a smaller clear case I have now I can use it easily with 1 hand which is a big deal. If the neo hybrid didn't add so much width I probably would have kept it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
maybe you guys should wait for the 2nd or 3rd batch, i heard there were problems like this for the s4 whenit first came out, like the paint chipping off of the band after a week or so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Antivanity:
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda.. I wasn't around for the S4 SPIGEN case experience. I'll just wait for them to respond.. and hope they'll shoot me a replacement bumper. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pham818:
hopefully :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
EBay copy of neo hybrid for note 3..

Didn't use the screen protector included as I have my favorite brand I like to use ;)

Will be buying an original spigen too buy this was to simply bridge the gap so to speak.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] keynith:
Ordered mine a few days ago, just shipped yesterday with expedited shipping. Hopefully it'll it be here tomorrow or monday. will update when I get it!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Thuqnificent:
I bought mine a week ago and it was said to arrive yesterday but still nothing :(

Just got my slim armer and neo hybrid....they look very good... can't find any defects...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] notee:
finally got a response today, was able to cancel
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] plastikpyro:
My metal slate case finally arrived today after 14 days of waiting and I returned it for a refund. I'm using a Diztronic case now which also came today. It took only 4 days to get the Diztronic which shipped from Wisconsin to California and 14 days to get a case from Spigen up the street. It's obvious that they don't have these case in stock even though they advertise that they do. I tried cancelling my order last week but they never replied but instead generated a bogus shipping notification. Lack of customer service and judging from the pics above, lack of quality control.

I recommend getting the Diztronic for a 1/3 of the price of the Spigen. You'll be happier.

I had ordered mine off Amazon on the 28th of September. Finally got a shipping email with tracking number on the 10th of October. Waited til the 13th and no tracking information. Just said the usps was expecting a package. I called amazon direct and told them it's taking too long and I wanted to cancel. They emailed spigen and two days later I got an email back from them saying the order was canceled and I would get refunded. I like the neo had one on my s4 but I'm not waiting forever for a case. Went to a local att store and bought a ballistic glass screen protector from them and a case. Might go the uag route or wait for something else

Edit: just checked my bank account to see if the money was refunded and it wasn't. So I checked the tracking info and instead of cancelling the order like I requested it seems there is finally movement on the order. Should be here the 19th.

Will the Iloom screenmate tempered glass work with this case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Lethal_NFS:
Screw Spigen and their cases. My case was supposed to be shipped on October 11, yet here it is now the 17th and I have no case. They do not respond to emails. I will NEVER buy another case from these crooks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maximus96:
Neo "HYBIRID"...if they have to intentionally screw up the spelling i'd rather they not have any text or logo at all...

Anyone know if the Iloom screenmate tempered glass will work with this case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Skander1998:
I hope you noticed, the case doesn't have a speaker cut-out :)

xD

Why would someone sell that? I mean yes they do say it in the description.. but.. hey! :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
Yeah I have, I've informed the seller and he refunded me ;) free case!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Skander1998:
Hah, a little bit of patience and you can carve that speaker port yourself.

Free functional case ;)

I'm a little worried with Spigen, tracking info on my purchase with no updates whatsoever :p

Might have to revoke the payment from my CC, called them this morning and they are ready to do that :p

PS: Got a dante red hybrid and a glas.t
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ry2mkk:
To be fair, the sound comes out alright anyway and people haven't moaned at me during calls for lack of microphone hole either :p

One small issue... I'm Unable to get my spen out lol. Ah well at least it's a case for the time being!

Yeah possibly, revoke the charge and wait for a later batch that's what I'm doing!

Goodluck!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mofoliar:
My case is out for delivery, cant wait, i will report back!! It only took 10 days... And ordered a MIMe tempered glass should be here tomorrow ordered it on 15th, diffently not as bad compared to spigen...

Delivered..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Yeah, I think these cases are finally starting to ship out en masse. I got mine in satin silver yesterday, though tracking said I'd get it in November. :p

It's a beautiful case, but noticeably more slippery than the Diztronic I picked up while waiting.

I did have a saggy side but that was easily fixed by squeezing the outer frame inward a little before putting it on the phone.

All in all, I'm pretty happy with the case. But that's only because I wasn't angry with Spigen's shady tracking, as I already had a case for the interim.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Philly Jim:
Finally Got my case today after waiting like most for over a month ..................not really sure what all the Hype was about sad i fell for it , sending it back ,not worth the 25 bucks thats for sure .................save your money and your time ..........:eek:.........
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] markysd:
wow mine just came..suppose to get it on the 31 oct / 4 nov.... i have another case coming tomorrow that i ordered sue to it was taking to long:eek:

the power button was a bit flat as in not clicky but i just put a bit of tape under the button and has more click to it not a big issue.. 26$ instead of the 34$..
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chronos7:
I complained to amazon and asked for a refund and they are looking into it. Today I got emails from spigen and after no info on shipping whala! It is now showing up on USPS enroute to me. I guess you have to get amazon involved to get your case shipped. Also Spigen gave me a coupon for $8 off of my next order from them. AS IF THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!!!
