[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Plainsdrifter:
Many posters have written of Spigen's lack of tact, duplicity and general stupidity when it comes to customer service. I have ordered 5 cases from them for Galaxy note 3, Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S and can confirm that the product is top notch but service is poor.

I plan to order view case from Spigen when Amazon Prime becomes available.

I may be negative but I think I am right; Spigen is insisting on shipping because they want to charge for cases they didn't have to ship. If Amazon was handling the shipping they wouldn't charge customers' credit cards, print shipping labels and then sit on the money.

As soon as Spigen catches up orders with inventory they will turn over to Amazon the fullfillment and that is when I will place my order. I have waited more than 2 months without this case, I can wait more and my Neo Hybrid is working just fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
The whole problem for me is that I really hate to reward dishonest business practices - I'm a guy who has been on a Walmart boycott for nearly a decade for example. Granted, the cell phone industry is just duplicitous dealings from top to bottom, but I still try to stick to my guns where I can and I'm beginning to think this may be one of those moments.

Compare these guys to Otterbox for example - my own personal experience was that I had a case crack, complained, they had me send them a pic of the broken case and if I remember right a pic of the box (might have been the receipt or something else, it has been a while) and they shipped me a new one the very next day at no cost to me. I'm sure some have had bad experiences with them, but mine was about as good as can be hoped. I should have just gone ahead and bought a Defender, but Spigen keeps promising this clever design and so I've waited.

Instead of "Coming Soon" it should be "Coming Sooner or Later". At this point, I've got no real reason to believe their Amazon date either, they might string us along into February.

Mine still says preparing for shipment.

Shipping Estimate Monday, December 9, 2013 - Tuesday, December 10, 2013

White, expedited shipping. Fingers still crossed!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] SimpleChaos:
I just received this note from Spigen through Amazon. I ordered a white one on the 7th

Thank you so much for your recent purchase with Spigen on Amazon!

We are greatly anticipating the release of our long awaited Galaxy Note 3 Slim Armor View case.

There has been a small error with our Pre-Order dates over this past weekend and online orders were accepted sooner than we had intended. We do sincerely apologize for this inconvenience. The pre-order date for the Galaxy Note 3 Slim Armor View White is set for January 15th 2014.

We regretfully are unable to hold these orders due to Amazon’s ship out policies and we will be canceling these orders.

We understand that this may cause some delays and may affect your shopping plans this holiday season and we are deeply sorry for such inconveniences.
​

I figured it was too good to be true.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] iceghost1210:
I cancelled my order as the price dropped down, only to find that the price has gone back up after my order was cancelled. bit of a run around i think. ill wait till its fully available in Australia till i get mine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
I've just received the same email from Spigen as above.

Oh well...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Plainsdrifter:
Amazon got to them probably, warning them they can't fool around with customers orders' so they were forced to cancel the orders.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] votum:
It's federal law to ship an item within 30 days of receiving payment

http://www.business.ftc.gov/documents/bus02-business-guide-mail-and-telephone-order-merchandise-rule

and they must have a good reason for pushing back dates. Multiple pushes with no notification doesn't qualify as a good reason. Companies like this have customer service like they do because they can afford to. You guys buy the item and don't care about how they treat you so they don't worry about making it better. If it costs them 10,000 dollars a month to get better CS but they only lose 1,000 a month by having terrible CS obviously they wont make it better.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] MANswers:
Any one received their case yet? Or is this still in waiting. I am sorry but I don't lurk on this thread much. Although I would like to see a pic of the case with the note 3 on. I might move from neo to this
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Canceled orders, then raised the price. Good job Spigen wtf!?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] duytienle:
news?

Any good news?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
The suggested retail price is probably what is listed. But the actual selling price will be what they have shown. At least that is my theory.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] zounduser:
I have tempered glass and I have the regular s view case. It fits perfect. Don't know if that helps u or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
I recently purchased the "Coin", which won't be released until next summer. How are they allowed to sell items without delivery for over 30 days?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] shorty87:
Anyone know if this will work with the iMagnet car dock thing? If I place the metal plate between the phone and the case?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XiphoneUzer:
Why, is there something you don't like about the neo?

(I'm expecting my neo to show up tonight or tomorrow)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
That 30 day rule only applies when the merchant does not make a shipment statement, stating the time which it will be shipped otherwise 30 days is implied. Maybe spigen just refunded it all to raise the price and make you buy again :mad: haha
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nobody7284:
Hi All,

Look like SIngapore will have it available next week. I using Black Jet Note3 so which colour should I go for ? White or Black Slim Armor View??? Thinking of White color...

Cheers

Nobody
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Not actually true. Whether stated or not, they are not allowed to CHARGE the card until they are ready to ship. Once the card has been charged, they have 30 days to ship it, regardless of when they state the item will be in stock. They are allowed to take pre-orders for something as far in advance as they would like. It's the charging of the credit card that they are not allowed to do until 30 days before they ship.

I'm an online merchant myself (completely different industry). This is how I know this. Although I never charge the card until the actual day I ship.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] b k w:
Coin has charged my account $55 ($50 + $5 shipping), and have stated that the card won't be shipped till at least next summer. So there must be a clause somewhere that allows this. But I digress. This is off-topic.

To get the thread back on track. I cancelled my order with Amazon after I received the email from Spigen. They did however say they would be mailing me a free screen protector for inconveniencing me. I guess I can do a iSmooth vs Spigen vs Screenmate Flex shootout soon.. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] votum:
It says they have to have a set date they will ship, if it is "in stock" it has to ship within 30 days, if it is a pre-order they have to list the shipping date. Constantly changing shipping dates is what gets them in trouble.

This also only applies to companies who refuse refunds, if they give you a refund thats it, your problem is done, but if they hold your payment they will have lots of folks suing.

Only caveat here is for credit cards, I had to call the FTC on this because my PS4 pre-ordered was charged the day I pre-ordered. They said that for a credit card they can "hold" the funds, which looks like a charge, immediately. I don't know how accurate this is but I do know the law is sketchy
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N*E*R*D:
Received a screen protector in the mail today from Spigen due to their crappy customer service skills
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
This is the same way that a hotel bills. They run an "authorization" for the funds on your credit card, which holds the funds but unless they actually run it as a charge, the authorization expires after a certain period - a week or so with hotels, but I assume it can be longer...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Andrewtst:
That is great! Need your favor, kindly post here or PM me once "White" available at Singapore, and also price. I will went over buy it, cross over Singapore is just a bridge for me. :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Volrath:
Let me know if it does. Will it be available online in Singapore? It would be a lot faster shipping from Singapore to Thailand.

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] nobody7284:
Should be available next week cos shops are taking order. They say mostly will be next week available. This happen when Neo hybrid is already available in SG but USA still not available yet.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amebiasis:
Anyone have any experience with these guys?I've browsed them before but never bought anything. There showing them for sale for about 19 bux and free shipping.

http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1549537464.html

Edit: I just created a quick account and shipping to the US was 1.29 bringing the total to $19.92. It did say processing could take up to 20 days though.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
That link shows me $99.90. What a bargain!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] amebiasis:
Weird ya they changed it I had it saved in my cart this morning now my cart is empty, maybe they had it priced wrong earlier and corrected it o well.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
I love this bit from the description:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Now the black one says available Jan 10.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XiphoneUzer:
U guys waiting for ios7 to be jail broken should just ............................. oops, wrong waiting game. ;)

I received my Gold Neo Hybrid yesterday and I couldn't be happier.

What a great fit and it looks fantastic.

Stop waiting on the jb and get the neo hybrid right now, you'll love it. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
I don't like the neo hybrid.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XiphoneUzer:
Is this a troll post, or are you gonna actually tell us what you DONT like about the neo hybrid? :rolleyes:

I spent my time posting on this thread to HELP others, (what's your motivation?) :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unitea:
it didn't seem like a troll post to me. seems more like you are offended simply because he doesn't like the product you suggested. granted it would be more helpful to know why.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
I don't like it, don't need to explain why. Now if you want there's a neo hybrid thread you can go share how much you love it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XiphoneUzer:
I was trying to be helpful, he was trying to be a Richard.

I failed, he did not.

Sorry I bothered, enjoy your wait . :o

Hahahhaahahhahahhaa

thats a troll post
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Plainsdrifter:
I will be in Hong Kong a few days this month. Does anyone know if this case will be available in any shops there?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
And Surprise the date of the black one is pushed back as well...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Xanza89:
I'm glad to see that Spigen actually decided to make this case. I was just looking at them on Spigens website and $47.99 is not bad in my opinion. I will definitely be ordering one of these as soon as they are available.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] skyicon:
woah this is great i'm very excited about this.. good news...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] brysonwong:
Which shop taking pre order? I want to order one too as I'm in Singapore too. Probably pm me? Thanks!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] XiphoneUzer:
I paid $75 bucks for my new N3, ur paying $50 for a case? :confused::laugh:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Xanza89:
What does it matter what I pay for a case? I paid full retail for my phone which was $741 after tax, I don't see why that concerns you? What I do with the money I earn is none of your business.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
What's it to you? Is it your money? Then why should you give a ****? You keep coming in here and trolling.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
I walked out of the store paying $0 plus tax..... Doesn't mean I'm not paying full retail over 2 years. :rolleyes: to people who think what they pay at the store is what they pay for the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] LordGeek:
$47.99 right now on Spigen website

Spigen Slim Armor View Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ... on website right now, pre-order for $47.99

http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsun...ote-3/galaxy-note-3-case-slim-armor-view.html

I just put my order in :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
Won't let me order the black one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Pandemoniumone:
Yep, that was fast......
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] iceghost1210:
Man... sold out before they have even shipped any.... such a long wait also!

Anyone know of any alternative like this with the S-View features and protection?

it will cost me about $80 to get it to Australia :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grabshell:
I saw some replicas of this case already priced between $9 - $12
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
I haven't seen any, but if you find anything let us know. Only reason I really want this case is cuz I want sview case with decent protection. I don't like the Samsung one where it just replaces your back cover.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] deny_winarto:
The heck now they post cheaper price in their website?

I spent almost $90 with shipments in amazon..

Now i begin to see why some people are dissapointed with them :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] grabshell:
Try dhgate
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
Looking at the pictures finally on Amazon. It looks like it will be able to support wireless charging as long as you have the charging receiver that has the contacts on the back.

Just wish it was in stock with Amazon already.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Don't see any DHGate replicas of the upcoming case. Alot of replicas of the existing lineup of Spigen cases, but not the one specifically referenced in this thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] desdelaayuda:
Thanks

Enviado desde mi SM-N9005 mediante Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] JohnnyRocks:
Don't bother, cause, there are no replicas yet of this case. Only of the ones without the S-View from Spigen.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] auau465121:
It's been updated now it says it will ship January 10th ???
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] parusia:
No wireless charging, those contacts are for the S View support, without those contacts the flip action doesn't work.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] polo2883:
But if you have the wireless charging receiver it will work since the receiver has contacts on the opposite end to pass through to the contacts.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
There are recievers that also has pass through built in to support s-view cases

+1
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] parusia:
The contacts for the wireless receiver are the top and middle contacts, for S View are the bottom and middle. I own both the wireless back cover, and the S View the contacts are totally different. The two contacts on TOP of the battery area are for NFC.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
I'm not sure where NFC came into the conversation

Those are the pass through contacts I was referring to that allow an owner of the s-view cover to use this Qi receiver to enable both functions
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
So its a special qi receiver we have to get for this to work?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harajyuks:
Just a variation that it on the market... This one I found after I bought my receiver. I believe someone has reviewed this product in this forum.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] parusia:
Oh! I got you now, yes with that receiver you can use any flip cover that have the contacts for S View to get the wireless plus S View functionality at the same time. I ordered one of those 3 days ago just waiting for it now.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] droidkevlar:
Let us know how it goes. I have a regular Qi pad, but if I want this case to work, I will need to get this one instead.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
Well, congratulations Spigen: you guys screwed around long enough that I took my business elsewhere. Still a great design, but I don't have time for this crap, so I picked up a Defender. Certainly not as graceful as the Spigen, but it will give me the protection I need and it actually exists - I went to a store and

bought one

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OptimusOBrien:
I was able to get the Pre-Order price so I am picking up the Black case. I can't wait to get this puppy!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
I pre-ordered two weeks ago and now they offer a pre-order discount. No thanks, cancelled my order. Of course the Amazon.com order pages says its in process yet it won't ship until 1/10/14 so they had better NOT drag out the refund.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vizi0nz:
Ordered mine yesterday, can't wait!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kinezos84:
Chinese where faster than spigen...they have it available already in 7 colors...15 $ on aliexpress...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TechBSwift:
where? i just looked and didnt see that case

Found them and just ordered

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newe...e-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-III/1549537464.html
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] N1T15H:
I preordered my white case on Nov 20.

But now spigen sends me a message saying that they will not be able to fulfill this, as per amazon policy. And that they will take longer than expected.

So they told me to go ahead, cancel my purchase, and make a new purchase.

Seriously, what the hell ....

Sent them a long message on amazon, that i will not cancel this.

It took them one month to realize this. Then, what about customer service and priority ?? My priority wont be the same if I make a new purchase, and my delivery will be pushed back further in time.

First they dont create a pouch for such a device, then they push and make false promises. Now i got stuck with my money practically under siege with them for 1 month.

I couldve and wouldve made another purchase of a case/house instead of spigen, and wouldve received my item by now, if my money wasnt at spigen's.

Is Spigen selling case or dreams ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GHOSTIVVI:
This is most likely fake. They had fake slim armor cases for the S4 also on the same site. If anyone buys from this site report back with quality of the case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ph0b0s123:
Now it is announced, I am pretty disappointment by the case. The need to remove your back plate to use the case, which was not required on the S4 case, means this maybe a no go for me.

I have never found a full case I like to have in my hand for a long time, so when I am in bed or of the sofa, etc (somewhere there is not chance of damaging drops), I like to remove the phone from the case and use it naked, so to speak. Also to put it in my car mount I remove it for the case.

With this case, to do that I would have to carry around a back plate. I don't blame Spiegen, but Samsung. The official S-view case has the same requirement. So it is Samsung who have caused this extra requirement for S-view over the S4.

So looks like no S-View cases for me. Disappointing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bob_beringer:
Would definitely buy this model, but also request an adjustable width that would allow for the use of a zerolemon or mugen extended battery and room for a microsd to full sd adapter as well.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] theur:
This with kickstand functionality would be a nearly perfect case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] unlockingsky:
the case can occupy less total mass by becoming the battery case.

removing the original battery case and using this as 'case protection' + 'battery cover' would be awesome. and i would definitely purchase.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jamesindc:
Spigen's S-View looks so much better than Samsung's.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
I don't care about kickstands or replacing battery covers or anything else, just make a Slim Armor View for the Note 3 and I'll buy the case and the phone. I'm willing to accept some increased bulk in the name of durability. I've been hesitating for months on the new phone market simply because I can't seem to get the features I want coupled with protection I need. The market has provided for the S4 and other 5 inch models but to my mind, the bigger the screen, the more vulnerable. I'd consider the Xperia Z Ultra, but I'm stuck with Verizon due to work. I was awfully close to settling on a S4 (developer edition) with an Obex, but I'd really like more screen. I had been thinking that a durable case with a cover flap would be a great solution, but didn't know anyone made one 'til I saw this thread.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
After seeing the tragically cracked screen in the AndroidAuthority drop test, I absolutely demand this case! The clam-shell screen protection is a must and the window negates the accessibility issues that such a feature usually causes!

I want it.

Just spammed their FB page ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BlueChris:
Oh yes I'm so IN for this case, so far I ordered a Spigen neo and a glass tr from them because is the best scenario for me but that scenario will go to great with a s-view case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Vulpix:
Guys, the Slim Armor for the Note 3 is coming. Nothing to worry about anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Marvelicious75:
I think we're all aware that the Slim Armor is coming - it is listed on their website. What this thread is about is the Slim Armor

View

which takes the Slim Armor and adds a clamshell cover with a functional window - or I could stop describing it and you could read the OP...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] austreaker:
Need to add a belt clip

I have been using the PDAIR ultra thin case for my Note 2 mainly because of the belt clip.

This case however look awsome and I love the close case screen.

However, PLEASE ADD A BELT CLIP. Kill two birds with one stone, ie if you don't use the belt clip you can unscrew it out and it is flush.

Can't wait for my beast Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jonphinguyen7:
This looks bad ass!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vegetto123:
Ordered a Slim Armor Case to tide me over until the Slim Armor view is released. I have a feeling it will take a couple months until this case is released. If it gets released at all.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Rican Bx Bomba:
I guess we need more votes lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] randpost:
I would buy the view when ever and if it's released, but the Neo Hybrid will hold me over till that time comes. Neo plus Oleo screen protector and I'm good to go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] RaptorMD:
So Spigen says on their Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/SpigenWorld?hc_location=stream that if you want the Slim Armor View you need to let your voice be heard. So please bombard Spigen's Facebook page with requests. They will make hundreds of iphone cases, they have (6) champagne colored case alone but unless we drive demand for the Slim Armor View we won't get any love.

Just make sure you hit Spigen's page and demand they support this great case!

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------

Agreed! We need to make it loud and clear we will buy this case IF they make it. Do they really need (6) different champagne colored iphone 5s cases, really.
