these people have great products but awful, AWFUL customer service. I preordered my glass TR, they sent me an email telling me it was shipped and giving me a tracking number, when the item was never in stock, it was backordered, they finally shipped it 3 and a half weeks later, no one ever answered my support ticket, never got any news of what happened, I couldn't even get a refund "because the item was shipped"... Will never buy from them again, if ever i do buy their products again, it will be through a reseller
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] svyr:
hi LordGeek, can you 'flip back' the spigen view cover? (i.e. the cover bit on the hinges with the window being fully rotated towards the back of the phone). or is this http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/29/thumbnail/gebuhy4e.jpg the max it rotates ?

also - how securely is the cover attached with the hinges?

finally. heh, $60 incl delivery. (and by this point many people have $50+ worth of cases :D )
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Someone make a video review of it.

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

I hope all of who bought a fake one didn't buy this one. This one doesn't say anything about it having the sleep/wake function. The $15 did say it had it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] drmacrofish:
I don't have mine yet, but I know it does fully rotate onto the back.

What I am wondering is if you can remove the front cover entirely at the hinge like you can with the S4 version of the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grimloktt:
Yes, please! Or at least take some pictures and write-up a little review. I'm trying to decide whether I should cancel my order and just stick with my UAG case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Please stop using "replica" where "counterfeit" applies. They aren't "replica" Beats headphones when the whole point was to ride off the popularity of Beats with a counterfeit. I think I popularized using the term "replica" around here because I made a point to refer to iPhone parts as such after US Customs seizures began happening. A replica part is an identical replacement for an original with no intent to fool the user into thinking they are buying a genuine product.

Using the word "replica" anywhere you would use "counterfeit" will only equate the two terms in the eyes of the authorities and media. I'm still angry that "backup" was ever equated with piracy but it was and often is. I've even been forbidden from talking about my legitimate game console backups made with dumping hardware just because of the stigma the word has.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] goofy_69er:
tempered glass

Well this case work with a tempered glass screen protector. Also does the home button cause a problem with being pressed on the case when in a pocket.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
1. Customs only got involved because it's Apple and they rule the US.

2. Sounds like you work Spigen hahahaha get over it, it's our money, our decision...

Can we please get back to the quality of these cases....
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
I received my case in the mail today and it is fantastic! It is a snug fit and all features of my phone work perfectly with the exception that my headphones don't work properly because of the L-jack. I knew that my headphones would be an issue after reading other reviews on other Spigen cases and it doesnt bother me as I am getting Bluetooth ones shortly. The case is though like I said very good quality and the latch on the flip cover is nice and tight! I am going to order a "counterfeit" (hope this pleases you CZroe) one and compare them to see if there is any real difference!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] prophet of doom:
Can the phone take a picture with the case closed or do you have to open it up and take it???
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
And this makes a difference how?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
It can take pictures with the case closed! It is part of the S-View function
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
I already told you and gave you an example from the past. It hurts us when we can no longer properly differentiate legitimate and illegitimate and results in our legitimate activities being treated as illegitimate (limited, restricted, banned, etc).

I didn't go through all the trouble to popularize it for nothing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seijyennite:
Look what I got in the mail today
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] svyr:
does anyone know the diameter of the earphone port cut-out? I'm curious if my HP jack will actually fit. it looks like i might need to cut the case a bit http://lghttp.16708.nexcesscdn.net/...5fb8d27136e95/i/d/id_note3_saview_white02.jpg

edited cause i fail lol

I'll have a video uploaded later... I kinda just threw this together considering it's New Year's eve... Also my first time doing a "review" but if anybody has any questions feel free to ask me id be happy to answer!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Thanks friend?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seijyennite:
Yes I am currently using a tempered glass screen protector from speign and have not seen any problems yet

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

Sorry it was a two part question i have not noticed any wear on the screen yet as I have just gotten the case... And also using a screen protector from speign
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] montuno:
Hello guys can anybody post pictures of the case with the phone and some other case by the side for size comparison...Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seijyennite:
I can post pictures of the phone in the car after new years if nobody else does
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] alugava:
video case

is that nobody has to put up a video of this case, I want to buy it but it seems too big. And I think to protect a phone that problamente expires in two years we're putting a lot of money on that if spare batteries, covers, extra fittings, etc ...

When we moved to a new terminal always do the same crap.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
Just wanted to confirm...with the legit spigen case, if you have the qi receiver , it will not work anymore unless you get a special one, correct? Now for the non legit/knockoff will it be the same way?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] LordGeek:
Sorry for the delay SVYR .. has definitely been a busy holiday week. Here are the pictures you requested showing the hinges and folding capabilities.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DSD99:
thats one thing i dont understand, why did they hinge it at the back of the case?

Surely it would of been better to hinge it in the middle so that when you fold it back it would be flush with the back of the case rather than sticking out at the hinged side
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
Please do, it'll be much appreciated :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
For those of you that already received yours, is it glossy like the og Black Slim Armor? I have the Slim Armor and it is a fingerprint magnet and I already got a bunch of scratches. Only a week with the case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] svyr:
much obliged.

>Surely it would of been better to hinge it in the middle so that when you fold it back it would be flush with the back of the case rather than sticking out at the hinged side

+1. i was hoping it was flush and flat when folded. oh well, i guess if there's a clip it'll probably stick out instead of the hinge (or be odd to hold or something). there's no winning :D so to speak?

edit> although as you say maybe if in the middle - it won't stick out with either the hinge or the clip
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DSD99:
Yay!

Got my email from amazon.co.uk this morning, item dispatched.

so should have it in the next couple of days

:):):)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] prophet of doom:
Anyone able to get wireless charging working with this case??
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DSD99:
Im going to be trying when i get mine.

Should be able to either take the back off the ground on the reciever or just use a small bit of wire to merge the grounds.

The question is whether it will actually fit there, the case is apparantley really tight
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seijyennite:
To me its more of a matte finish. But i also had the black slim armor and its basiclly the same material they used on the back of the slim armor... but not the same material for the "bumper"
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsms0905:
i have gotten wireless charging to work with this case and yes although it was hard its possible. the problem is that i messed up the sview part of the case. very small wires will most likely work but be careful as the pins on the case are very easy to damage
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
Thanks for the pictures!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JoshuaFCB:
for those who tried the Samsung cover, is the spigen a fingerprint magnet too?

From Piece of paper 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Bkc501:
So far I'm liking it. It feels nice in the hands and I like the S-view though I would love for the music controls to work with google play. Now if only I knew exactly how to get my wireless charging back without messing it up. For anyone asking yes it does attract fingerprints
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amelia Earhart:
Hey guys

My first post here on the site.

Definitely a great site you got here.

I'm thinking of buyinWill it closg this case, with is I want to buy glass screen protection.

Might I face problem with the closing? another problem?

If am here and asking, what is the best glass screen protection with that case and in general,

M-Glass

spigen slim armor view

you can put pictures seen from side view thickness pair, tell us how many feet does in total.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DSD99:
Not the neatest of jobs but s-view and wireless both work.

I actually cut off the ground from the qi reciever and used a little bit of solder to connect the point to the ground on the case.

Dont wont to take it back off but if i could id carve out a little bit of the rubber back where the reciever is because it bulges ever so slightly at the back
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Does anyone have the techmatte qi receiver with this case? The techmatte qi receiver has contacts in the back to allow pass through it looks like.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
How did you get it to work? Can you show some pics too?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
The main problem I have with this case is that it ignores obvious engineering concerns that the original manufacturer considered.

For example, it doesn't have the ridge that fits in the groove around the battery. That serves a purpose: resist water intrusion without an air-tight seal using surface tension through constricted pathways (allows battery to vent/breathe).

I see the two plastic posts that keep the micro SD card from popping out, so it's not like they are completely blind.

I'm not an engineer and I see/notice these things, so what excuse does their engineer have?

Does this thing carry the Samsung logo that my regular Slim Armor (non-View) has?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] seijyennite:
this is the current glass screen protector im using WITH this case... both are from spigen!! =)

http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsun...ector-glas-t-slim-premium-tempered-glass.html
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
???

There is no Samsung logo on the orginal Slim Armor
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
I'm asking about the packaging. I can see everything else in the pictures.

It's basically their version of the Made For/Works With Apple program. Those badges are never on the products either.

My Slim Armor definitely has it (hologram, IIRC).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mhotep06:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
Again, fakes will not have the same quality as the real thing. Do you do anything other than post dx-box links?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] christianpeso:
Nice bro! Thanks for that.

I too have the Moga controller. Is the front panel with the screen able to come unhinged to place the phone into the Moga? Of have you tried to place the phone with the case still on, flipped back, into the Moga holder?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] alugava:
What measures does
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amal77:
Thanks.

It can barely, I mean really barely fit on a Moga Pro Power. It is also quite wobbly.

Tested while the front cover flipped back, the hinge side is placed on the bottom.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
[MENTION=1889665]Amal77[/MENTION] is your case an original Spigen or is it one of the copies?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] idle0095:
I want Spigen to make a Tough Armor Gold case for the Note 3 like they make for the iPhone 5.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amal77:
I don't have the exact weight. But not bad for a tough bulky casing.

Genuine Spigen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
Just looked on Spigens website and the case is on sale for $47.99.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
Got my case today and I must say that this was definitely worth the wait. I'll be swapping the Qi wireless adapter from my sview case to this one later today.

hopefully, i helped answer some questions. :good::laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JK100:
It does unhinge

Got mine Fri and and yes the front can be unhinged from the back you just have lift the outer shell from the inner and it slides right off. I love that too for gaming or just being home and not being at the job site.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Amal77:
Nice unboxing video there. :good:

Btw my home button doesn't get stuck like yours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mayonesa:
Do you have a glass protector? If so, do you add the extra home button you can add when using the glass protector.

That could be the reason for what's happening

Im still on the fence with this case. It loojs like the door would be in the way
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
thanks, gonna try and play around with the home button on the case and see if i can loosen it up. may just be tight cause it's a new case.

i have a generic $25 screen protector that i got from t-mobile. no extra that goes on top of the home button.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rankz787:
Yes we can!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Lol.. i like how you pushed the home button while complaining about the pressure sensitivity of the front cover ?????
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
watch my vid again. you can see i activated the screen without pushing the home button. it's something to take note. it might not happen all the time, but it does happen. better to let people know than not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] makavelisk:
It's being shipped by Amazon now for both black and white. Just ordered one of the 4 white ones left shipped by Amazon prime. Woot!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vndnguyen:
You have to remove the back cover in order to use this case? Right?

yes. you have to take the back cover off of your phone. it's how the contacts work for the s-view window.

Are there something wrong?

Hello everyone

I got my Slim armor view yesterday but the S view doesn't work !!

I activate the option of the S view in the sitting menu & i remove the back cover of device and nothing happened..!!

I tried to install it on another Note 3 device also without benefit...

Are there any problems or something i forgot it ???

Or there's something wrong with the case...!?

Please help
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
Did you get an official case or a knock off
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
I am hoping the techmatte qi receiver will work since it has exposed contacts in the back to allow pass through to the contacts on the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AJ_MARSHALL:
Are there something wrong?

Yes, I got the official case (with the original black card code)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ichiduo:
i used a combination of programs. to get the sound effects of the light saber, i used zedge. to apply the sound effects i used a program on the ap store called s pen toolbox. :D

Here's a pretty good video review i found.

Spigen Slim Armor View for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Review
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Da mOnKeY:
[YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE]

I have the same problem,I can put my Note in the case and it will work but after turning in on and off or opening the cover a few times it won´t work anymore,I have to take the Note out off the case,put it back in and it´ll work again but not long.I´ve found a video review for an original S-View case from Samsung on Youtube were a user also complained that his didn´nt work,he got an answer saying it could be one of three things :-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOfuA4q9sss&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Quote

"There are three reasons for that:

1. Magnet on sview cover is weak

2. Sensor on back of cover is damaged or contacts pin

3. Software issue: Large background process, load to CPU, power saving mode etc."

At least mine works,not all the time,but when its not working the same person who did the Video review also did a review for a simple solution to the Problem :-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59tJVDIVgEI&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Its still annoying though when you give out so much cash for something that doesn´t work right but reading through a lot of Forums apparently this problem is also know well with the original Samsung S-View cover as well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kellywi:
Sview option

I just Really like the sview type cases however i feel the functionality is nerfed. I would love a mod to be able to change the options with what the sview shows and or other options for certain apps to be able to run in the window
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AJ_MARSHALL:
Are there something wrong?

Thank very much dude for the information

I think the problem from the sensor ship until now and I don't feel any magnetic field in the cover or somewhere else as the official Samsung S view have..!!

But as you said we give out a lot of cash for premium quality as spigen said for nothing, and I will not buy another app for broken unworthy cover...

I'll ask for refund my money back, this is only solution I have.

I hope from SPIGEN to care about it as professional decent company.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Dpra-V:
Not really a magnet issue I think.

got my case yesterday (ordered directly from spigen). s-view worked for a couple of minutes but when the phone got locked (used to have pin number lock) then s-view was over.

I got rid of the lock screen and everything works perfectly since. I don't know if that is the same with the original Samsung cover view.

as for my first impressions:

solid case, great protection a bit heavy unfortunately

glass window loves fingerprint and s-pen scratches

s-view works fine... as far as you don't use lock screen
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] christianpeso:
I do believe this is how it is supposed to be. Lock Screen is for security purposes. If one is able to use the S-View function to bypass the security you put on your phone, then that defeats the purpose of security(Lock Screen). That's how it is supposed to work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nobody7284:
**** man ,It is Matt White , now I wondering will it stain ??? Should have a black better
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Got my case and I have to say its a good case. Combined with the techmatte qi receiver I am able to still get wireless charging with no tweaking.

It is larger than the seidio case I had but the added protection is nice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
The techmatte receiver I am finding doesn't have what appears to be a pass through capability. Do you have a link to the one your using.

Just got the white case and now I need to get the wireless receiver. I really love this case. Feels great in your hand, sview works like a charm, and it definitely adds a nice amount of protection. The case does add a little bit of weight that you really feel but it's not enough to complain about. Definitely took spigen a while to get this case out but I feel it was worth it.

The fake ones aren't as nice. The home button shape is different and the front cover is different as well. If you look at it long enough you can find lots of differences.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] refinition:
Its similar but the shapes slightly different. But its only really noticeable if you have a real one and a fake one I guess

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vndnguyen:
In the end of the video u can see the sview function does not work properly :) the case was closed but the sview window does not display.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shawheim:
His jelly button keeps the case from closing all the way. It is stated a couple pages back that jelly buttons and home button stickers interfere with the function.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kendonsh:
Is it just me or wouldn't it be great to have a qi wireless charging option?

It's easy to add nfc to the note 3 without the original battery but you can't have s view and wireless charging without the official s view cover.

The ic chip takes up the required pins for the qi pad :/

Edit..

Got a question. Does this case play well with a tempered glass screen protector?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] techrat:
Thats awesome

My cousin will be glad to see this!
