The replacement parts sent to me are identical to the parts that failed.

That said, Spigen did in fact replace the part for me free of charge after giving me a hassle. I had to complain on the internets and only then did they change their mind and replace the part. Furthermore, Spigen does not require their authorized resellers to honour the factory warranty and Spigen itself won't autherize warranty replacements on products bought through authorized resellers.

Thus your best bet might be to buy a knock off from an Ebay seller. It will cost less, and it may be of lesser _or higher_ quality than the original. However, most importantly, it will be backed by a seller warranty because Ebay sellers are very sensitive to negative feedback.

From what I've heard, Spigen cases are generally good quality. I hope that the Note 3 case is a fluke. But fluke or no fluke, their policy of not requiring authorized resellers to honour the warranty sticks. Why have authorized resellers in the first place?

which one is better, this or UAG?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hav0c:
I give them 1 week to make an announcement before I buy another brand case. I don't like how they don't give a straight answer on when it will be released or not :mad:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] indymcse:
Has anyone heard from SPIGEN yet? I'm really looking forward to this case. Does anyone know, from the galaxy S4 for example, if this case is compatible with the dock?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EvoJok3r:
I'm wondering the same thing... I've been holding off since last Wednesday in getting a case. :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sevomemo:
best case ever :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hav0c:
Let's all not buy anything from Spigen untill they make clear if they are going to make this case to see if that speeds up their decision making process.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] craigels:
Is there an image of the case everyone is waiting for?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EvoJok3r:
I'm trying... Over 20,000 people have viewed this tread looking for an update on whether or not they're going to make this case.. I think the answer's clear.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] peng1can:
Actually, from what I can tell, on the note 3 it *has* to replace the battery cover, otherwise it can't trigger S View. There are two prongs that the S-Cover has that are required to make the S View work. Perhaps it has to do with keeping the S Pen working?

They've been burning bridges with their Note 3 customers on their other cases (check out the reviews and the hate threads on their other cases -> missed shipping dates, deceptive shipping notes, damaged/poor quality products once received). At this point, I don't think you'll have any problem convincing people not to buy anything from Spigen for a while... :)

This case does look nice, I posted on their fb.

The suspense is killing me...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] hooh888:
don't mind having one if the s-view functions as it should unlike the other galaxy note 3 third party so-called 's-view' cases. provided if this case will actually be made available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gwuhua1984:
Yep... my order for the screen protector was one of those. Missing ship date by far, even when the order says shipped, the product really is still sitting in their warehouse or maybe just the label for the shipment was created.

I placed my order for the screen protector on the 8th. The orders status showed "Processing shipment" from then on. I e-mailed them for order cancellation on the 15th, but the 16th I got a noticed that the order was shipped with tracking number but when I run the tracking there's pretty much nothing there. On the 17th, I got an e-mail saying the order was cancelled per my request.

The customer service response to order inquiry is extremely slow. I wouldn't order anything urgent from them after this experience.

I have one more order with them for the Slim Armor Case. The order shows shipped since the 16th, but when I ran the tracking on USPS the site showed only "Electronic Shipping Info Received" with no further updates. I didn't cancel this order because I'm not in a hurry to receive this order, but if this drag on, I'm going to cancel this order too. This time will be with bad feedbacks for the them. Think about it... how bad must this company be for someone to cancel order twice, 1st for an order that need to be on time, 2nd for an order that shows shipped to be really shipped.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BrianBaker:
Mine came in today...lol my tracking still shows it in Irvine California

Love the feel but sad it doesn't fit in my Seidio surface holster :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gwuhua1984:
It's normal for the tracking to be updated slowly especially from USPS. Can't really blame USPS from losing business. I just received my Slim Armor today. The case is beautiful and sturdy. Good feedback for the product, mediocre feedback for the seller. We'll see what happens when they actually do come out with the Slim Armor View case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EvoJok3r:
Um.. you just received the slim armor view? lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gwuhua1984:
Oh sh*t. I meant the Slim Armor. hahaha. My hands been typing by themselves all morning.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] EvoJok3r:
Hahaha it's all good.. on a side note. They responded about the case.

"Spigen SGP We're definitely working on the Slim Armor View! It's not quite as easy as it seems to develop the case. We want to make sure our customers will love every detail of it before we announce anything. We're working hard and will let you know if and when it is ready! "
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gwuhua1984:
That's good news to hear.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
I can see how it would be difficult since it's different than the S4. At least they gave us an update. My guess is they should make it the same as the S4 but have the S View connectors into the case and have us take the back cover off n we attach the case that way. It's just a guess but I don't see why not

Wireless Charging

I would buy one if it offered wireless charging
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tboooe:
I ended up buying the official Samsung s view wireless charging case. It works great.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Just received a new door --> you mean you bought it off or they sent you replacement ?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dotancohen:
Spigen sent the door to me. I emailed to them a photo of the damaged original door and (after a long hassle) they sent to me the replacement with no charge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
Hmmm .. interesting. Good to know.

Since i know that the door holds on with little plastic hinges which maybe break.

My door came out after a fallling trip, but hinge was okay and i managed putting it back.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 5t4rC0M:
Hello,

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my Note 3, and I wonder if there is any solution for the jack issue ? I mean we can't put a 3.5mm jack unless we put out the case.

Earphones work pretty good.

Thank you in advance :).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] coolboiz:
So hows everybody here using this case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dotancohen:
It is a piece of garbage.

The hinge broke after four months, and even though I bought it from an official reseller the company would not honor my warranty because they state that official provide their own warranty and can limit the warranty to 30 days. After complaining loudly onlineth company did me a favour and send a replacement hinge, which I had to assemble. This one lasted less than a year.

The S-window feature would sometimes work, that is, I think I've seen it operational maybe half a dozen times in the year and a half that I've had the case. This may be an issue with the S-window feature in the phone, though, as I understand that other cases are affected as well.

Oh, and let us not forget the camera! There is no place to put the cover when the camera is in use: it blocks the camera lens when folded back, but letting it hang is probably not good for it's ultra-sensitive hinge. Letting it hang is also awkward and it swings back and forth, making the camera unstable.

After the hinge broke the last time I'm left with only the body covering, which seems well-made. The buttons were always difficult to push when I needed them, but would get pressed accidentally when trying to press the other side. I just recently cut them away from the volume side, and now the buttons are easier to press and also don't get pressed accidentally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vagabond67:
Thanks for this mini review. I have been eyeing this case since it came out but the price was just too rich for my blood. Good to know I didn't take that plunge.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dotancohen:
No problem. If the review was helpful, please clink the "Thanks" button at the bottom of the post, that will help others find it as well.

I stayed with the Slim Armor case and non view. I was thinking abut It for awhile, but slim armor, with no view, is good enough. I really miss my note 3, should have kept it, but it was time for an upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] stanglifemike:
Not sure which case/cases are getting bad reviews, but the Spigen Bounce case is awesome! It fits perfect, doesn't add much bulk, and seems to offer good protection. I haven't dropped my GN3 in the Bounce case (and don't plan to), but I think it would take a drop very well! I have the Bounce case in gray, and a friend has it in black. Neither of ours have any problems whatsoever! He bought his the day the phone came out, and I bought mine about a week later. I would imagine that we got their first run of these cases, he definitely should have even if mine wasn't from their first run. Usually products get better after the initial run, not worse. I'll have to assume that their Bounce case isn't what you're referring to that people are complaining about, because their Bounce case is phenomenal!

As for the case mentioned in the OP, I would DEFINITELY be interested if the window was as big as the official Samsung S-View case! The window on this case is just way too small for my likings. I'd rather just buy the official S-View case and a TPU case, then cut the left side out of the TPU case so that the S-View case works with it. This is what people did with thy official Samsung Flip Cover on the Note 2. Just cut out the left side of a TPU case and then insert the phone/flip cover into the TPU case, works perfectly!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] klau1:
too bad theres no kick stand
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Plainsdrifter:
I would buy the case if Spigen came out with it, but only if I can order it from Amazon direct. I don't trust Spigen to fulfill the order.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BrianBaker:
both of my orders were fulfilled straight from Spigen..they came 1 day apart but they both came at the date specified on my ticket.1 actually came a day early.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JGuinan007:
I do like the case but will it work with Glas Tr? Oh I also refuse to use facebook so no vote from me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mvansomeren:
I got my Slim Armor case today.... one week later than Spigen said I would have it. They are horrible at communication. I sent them two emails because they hadn't shipped it yet even though there was a tracking #. It finally took opening a case with eBay/Paypal before the item was shipped. The case is great but I would never buy anything directly from Spigen again.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BrianBaker:
I've heard from lots of people that got the same treatment as you.Just putting my experience out there.I didn't email them or open any tickets I just let them do their thing and they eventually showed up. Metal Slate Slim Armor and Hybrid Neo.Both beautiful cases but now i just ordered my seidio naked holster so i'll be caseless again by the end of the week lol.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
I just got my white Slim Armor today but they actually beat their estimate. The estimate was sometime in November.

The case looks great and the even the packaging is impressive! I don't have my phone yet so I'll gush about that: It's encased in a clear shell like an Apple device but with more marketing stuff (authenticity holograms, "Made for Samsung" logos, and such) and some similarity to the clear plastic Windows Vista boxes. You can see the enclosed product extremely well because it is domed around the sides. Even some of the necessary information is printed under the case, like what device it fits. The wire hanger tab that folds into a groove when not in use is pretty slick. The face even has nubs to keep it from scratching on flat surfaces.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Plainsdrifter:
There is nothing wrong with the Spigen product, I have ordered and received 3 cases in the past month. Two of them were fulfilled very badly one was fulfilled well. They lie and miscommunicate. Only after complaining to Amazon did things began to happen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Now that I look, it seems that the Caseology case was the only one with the November ETA.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] minimallninja:
That's actually really sick, but I've never used a screen protector on any phone (including the Note 2) and still haven't had a problem with broken or scratched screens. All my cases have lips, never really understood why people like these covers...

Hopefully you guys get the support you need though.

Yes it will. They/China has figured out how to incorporate the s view functions in cases. If you go to ebay you are starting to see them left and right, you can tell because they have the proper two pins needed to trigger s view functions.

Spigen is dumb for waiting so long, the longer they wait the less cases they will sale

Let's hope. I have been holding out on buying a case for something like this. I wonder how had it would be to mod this and make an extended battery fit in as well. I wouldn't need a zerolemon, but something that would give me 50% more usage time would be perfect.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kusumalaga:
I think this is a good one. Hope it's not gonna be that expensive. I think doesn't matter how much like, share, comments or polls, they're going to make it anyway because it definitely will sell.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Step 1 is for them to actually release the case. They are losing market share since its not out and people are not going to buy the case if they already have that is expensive.
