I am waiting patiently for this case. Having never seen one of them in person before I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it. During my shift at work last night I noticed a coworker of mine had one of these on his s4. I asked him about and he gave it nothing but praise. Quality looked to be very good and it functioned perfectly when opened and closed as far as the screen operation through the front window. I'm definitely going to pick one up asap.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
Does anyone have a status update on this case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Saw this on their Facebook page.

Probably December
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
I would think probably more like Jan 2014
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
I just really hope they aren't sitting on it, just to do some douchey 'Black Friday' release.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Yea they are doing the Apple iphone thing. Make people buy the lower end, and then seduce them to upgrade to a puny update.

They already have the Neo Hybrid in the market.. people are buying them, once the sales of Neo Hybrid goes down they will put forth the new model the Slim Armour view.. the same people who brought the neo hybrid will get the slim view also.

Do you guys prefer black or white? I have a black phone and prefer the white case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mikemq2003:
I have had my share of white cases and I find them to get dirty pretty fast. I now just get white phones with black case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
I work in unfriendly environments, so white is out for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
I have a black phone, will order it in black. Like others have said, white tends to get dirty way easier.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
Typical Spigen, so it goes from end of November into early December. How about just saying you can't get your **** together and can't get a product out the door. They could have taken in thousands of pre-orders if not many, many more with cash in hand to pay for the pipeline of products. Instead its all about CrApple accessories.

I just got their douchey "Black Friday" 25% off email which is USELESS since I want the Slim Armor View for my GN3 and nothing else. I can't even buy it.

Would consider this. Have not got my N3 yet, just ordered it. But I do enjoy my Otterbox Defender cases/holster.

Perhaps a prozac is in order for some, but for many, many of us Spigen has not only failed to deliver on orders, promises, ship dates and everything else under the sun but they keep failing. Personally I am done waiting and seeking out alternative cases. as for the #calmthefdown, #WTFSHOULDI

Lmao who the hell uses hash tags outside of twitter? That really irks me for some reason :confused:

On topic, I too am getting really tired of waiting. Zerolemon announced their case/battery around the same time as Spigen announced the Slim Armor View for the Note 3 n Zerolemon is starting to sell their stuff already. I really thought by now Spigen would have this but I guess not and that's disappointing

I agree. It is disappointing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] reehdus:
It's not just Spigen that's having this problem. Even Seidio's ledger view product has been stuck in 'under development' until now. Methinks there might be some problem with S-view and 3rd party cases?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
I'm sure it has alot to deal wit samsung putting that microchip on their s view cases. Now if a company wants to make an s view case and have it work as intended, they have to get it approved by samsung and then slightly re do their original design to incorporate the little chip. This is the case I've wanted since I've gotten my note 3 pre ordered. I waited 6 months for my note and I ordered an el cheapo case to tide me over till this case comes out. People are impatient and they will complain. It's not worth the stress for me. There are bigger things in life for me to complain about than a cell phone case.

I ordered one last night figuring they wouldn't charge till it shipped. Well they charged me and the status on amazon says preparing for shipment. Still has the expected ship date of December 26th though. I wonder if they are really going to take my money and make me wait a month lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
From what I've read, yea, they r going to do that. Shady if you ask me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
Nice how they added it to the existing listing for the Slim Armor. Built in reviews already...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Spigen might make good cases but they have horrible customer service, and horrible business practices.

Definitely would like the case but will not buy unless its shipped by Amazon.

Plus I thought it was against credit card providers terms and conditions to take the money before shipping the merchandise.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
I'm definitely waiting until others post their reviews and amazon starts shipping this. I've had horrible past experiences with buying from spigen directly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
Well after seeing and reading reviews for the smile armor view for the s4, this is definitely the case for me. Customer support? Are people getting cases that don't fit from a reputable company like spigen? I see a couple of people not liking the way this is going, having to pre pay, wait a month to be sure they are part of the initial shipment, but I for one see it as well, I've paid them, they surely have to send me one out of the first batch. It's exactly what I did with my note and I couldn't be happier. I researched this phone for months before pre ordering it and paid for it when pre ordering at the store and made sure my card was charged to ensure I would not be waiting longer than I wanted. Then I waited almost 2 months before having the device in hand. Its almost no different than what im doing with this case. Some people are too impatient.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
I'll definitely wait. Didn't people who pre-order the neo hybrid pay the full $35 then when it went live on Amazon they were cheaper? I think I remember reading that in one of the Amazon reviews

Quick Q on protection

Guys, I think I already know the answer to this, but is this case less protective than say the otterbox defender (which is supposed to be the toughest protective case for the note 3)?

Thanks guys.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
Yes it's less protective. But the otterbox being the toughest case for our phones? Probably not.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2438417

I know it's for the s4 but it should be around the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] little_rock:
Thanks buddy
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
Na. Some people got it for $1,

and those who didn't get in right away got it for the $29 it began selling for,

And I believe it's $24 now, but as with anything, the price will drop a little as the product ages. I couldn't find that amazon review you mentioned. Point being, I understand spigens customer service may be horrible, so I guess I'm taking a gamble on things going right, and I do expect the price to drop by 7 to 10 after the first 2 months of it being out, but all of that's ok to me, I won't stress about it as long as I get what I pay for fairly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] votum:
Law states product must ship within 30 days.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jayevo:
Most definitely would buy this case for note 3 if it existed for us but for the price I would also want to have card holder and bigger flap screen viewing size obviously I'm sure they would make it bigger just saying because it's my opinion and if there take all these comments in to consideration for making it I hope it helps out

Well looks like you guys got your wish I see it's already in amazon after a search for gn3 view cases nice work I'll be ordering mine soon
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] outkast22:
How is this case on amazon and not the spigen site?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
Amazon usually has placeholders and provides a place to pre order where when they post it on the actual website. (www.spigen.com) it's avaliable to purchase immediately.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] outkast22:
How are there 131 reviews?

It's also for the regular armor view. Click on choose color. They just added armor view to the slim armor page.

It's like they have a Design team from Porche and a Sales & Marketing team from a used car lot.

No doubt. One thing we've learned is that you can't take Spigen's word for anything!

Just got pushed back to Dec 31. Pretty safe to assume we won't see it until the new year.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
That's funny lol, spigen better sale this case for $24.99 out they went sale many... Who pays $50 for a phone case when the phone is 4 months old, most users will have found a good case by then

I'm still looking for something else. I want an s view case, but one that's protective. This seems to be the only one. All the ones I've seen have zero protection.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Chillout2010:
I'm still going to order it. I just won't pay till its ready to go. For now my caseology $3 case will suffice. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna have this phone for at least a year so it will still be useful to have.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
I sent them a message and they said they would be announcing something this week. I want a case and I have my eyes set on this one but I'm starting to wonder if its worth it since they seem to take forever to launch their products.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Diogenes5:
Just saw it on Amazon yesterday. 60 bucks. Pretty penny but it looks sweet. What's really annoying is that I had ot use my note in only a tpu case for so long, partially defeats the purpose of that much protection when I want it from the very start of buying a new Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tw1n5nak35:
S view combined with slim armor? Not a bad idea. I currently have the soul black slim armor case and its nice. I might pick this up but it's going to be $60 :(

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
So it is, you are correct. I never noticed that till you pointed it out. I'm glad I ordered the black one, It'll be on my doorsteps 2 weeks before the white one even ships out.

On a side note, it would be awesome if amazon prime air was ready and avaliable for this :)

Lucky I cancel the order. Madly, Jan 15 is too far for taking order now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shin lucifer:
I am going to wait till i see the detailed review. I hope when the cover is flip back, its not hindering the camera. And if wireless charging works with this case. For $60 i would like to have a case with more then just protection functionality.

Bulky is an opinion. Some people think the uag case is too bulky, while I don't. So for me this case probably won't be too bulky. Check out some videos of the regular slim armor and decide for yourself.

Would it be possible to some how mod the case to get it to fit with the zerolemon battery?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DSD99:
it depends how big the zerolemon is and how they make the case.

since you need to connect to the pins under the cover for the sview either you will have to take the back off before you put on the slim armour view or it will come with a replacement back cover with passthroughs for the pins.

if you take off the back it will probably be too form fitting to put a bigger battery in.

if they use a passthrough cover you might be able to cut out the section where the battery goes since it will be covered by the armour case anyway so youve got more room, and possibly trim the shock padding they use.

EDIT: Just looked up the battery and theres no way in hell that thing is fitting in anything other than the case that comes with it. its just way too large, it doesnt just extend out but also across the back of the phone,

You might be able to mod the case for a smaller (5000-6000mah) extended battery but no chance of fitting a zerolemon in.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DustinKimble:
No, there is no way. The battery covers the contact pins the view case uses plus the additional battery would be thicker than the case. I don't have exact dimensions, just looking at some pictures.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JGuinan007:
No, the case would be destroyed or made pointless

Will this work with a tempered glass protector? I have a mime feather. Wondering if it will fit with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
I know on the s4 the white one was glossy, while the black one was more matte. Not sure if it will be the same on the note 3 version, but something to keep in mind since we don't know yet
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Really need to know if this will work with the official wireless charging back cover.

I already own the regular Slim Armor which I will test when I get my TYLT stands and wireless charging back cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
I don't believe it will work m8,its a hard plastic case with specific dimensions for standard phone. Original QI cover can work only with some bumber type cases including Spigen I suppose, your best scenario is to buy a cheap QI receiver and forget the official back plate if you want this case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Will that interfere with NFC?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] pnguin:
I have a Slim Armor case and use a charging pad for mine with no problems at all. I had to put a receiver in the back of the phone, but it was a piece of cake. Mine stays on the pad, and it is always at 100% when I pick it up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] luar949:
white in stock

Weird spigen's site doesn't show it in stock, but Amazon shows them them in stock in white at least
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Plainsdrifter:
Spigen claims the two colors will be available on 12/31 and 1/15.

They made similar claims with previous models that proved false.

I for one will not trust them and would rather wait until Spigen turns distribution over to Amazon before I place an order.

Finally, why tack on the $3 to an already high $57 price? If I was in Spigen's shoes, I would let Amazon fulfill all orders with Amazon Prime at a price of $59.99. That would go a long way to regaining lost trust with customers.

Just my two cents....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Diogenes5:
Amazon showed white one in stock so I ordered. It was the white one and cost 53. I'll feel stupid when they have their eventual sale for 30 bucks or whatever, but I want it now. I hate not having a flip cover; I want the peace of mind.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Just looked on Amazon the white is in stock and the price is lowered. Also the black one is pushed back to 12/27 now.

Also its still not being shipped by Amazon so I refuse to order.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Diogenes5:
Amazon says it should ship out monday or tuesday and arrive by friday latest.

Spigen is based in California so it's about 2-3 days by priority mail for me and even 2-3 days by first class usually.

I was ok with buying because 1, I've been waiting for a real flip case for my phone forever and the spigen also has the samsung flip cover functionality built in along with an actual bumper. On my Note II, I used the official samsung flip cover and official samsung bumper case which was an inferior solution because the flip cover didn't lock into place, there was no s-view functionality, and the flip cover never opened all the way because it wasn't meant to be used with the samsung bumbper.

The official samsung s-view case costs like 60 bucks and isn't in stock and only adds a flip cover with no bumper or real protection (since it replaces the normal back cover). This is a deal to me to get a real case for the same price.

You can probably even use it with the normal wireless charger back cover which is sweet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SimpleChaos:
Now that I just ordered one, I'm guessing that this replaces the rear cover so it will have the inside cover pins to activate s-view. Does anyone know if this is true?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] billiy:
Spigen ships cheap slow usps no tracking just delivery confirmation. My slim armor took about a week from postmark date to my door. I am in MN so inside the US.

Try to cancel and then replace your order under the lower price. This would work exceptif the order was already shipped. Knowing how slow Spigen ships, your order still hasn't shipped.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 AM ----------

I ordered the black SAV on 12-3 and the ship date was 12-31 and now the ship date is 12-27 which is ok with me if it actually ships early that would be nice. Still you have to add days into Spigens shipping policy since they don't actually ship when promised they just generate a shipping label so they can say they did then ship it out a couple days later.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
I wonder if this is like some messed up social experiment for them: "let's see how many people order if we move the date up... OK, now let's see how many cancel if we move it back..."

I can clue you in Spigen, you would've sold a ton of them had you made them available when the phone came out, but I've been running without a case for way too long and I hate to waste money so I don't generally order more than one.
