Found my new case! On Amazon, search for "CoverON kickstand note 3". I bought the red one, and really like it. The seams on the silicone are a bit messy, but they could be trimmed if I cared enough. Kickstand is perfect, though it feels like it could break somewhat easily if abused. Less than 5 bucks shipped!

On another note (haha), the "Maxboost shell holster combo with kickstand" is just okay. Kickstand is very difficult to close, and the case is much thicker than you would expect. Almost no protection for top and bottom.

Does anybody else have one of these? :silly:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Shooshi:
Just a quick note about the shell and holster cases, particularly the VZW and the Maxboost/Azmer one. They look very similar but the kickstands are actually different. The one on the VZW case does a much better job because the kickstand is longer on the back which makes it more stable when you put the phone in landscape or portrait. On the other hand, the Maxboost/Azmer one has a shorter kickstand so when you set it up, a slight tap in the corner opposite to where the kickstand is will cause it to tip over. I have both cases and decided to try the Maxboost one because it was only 12 dollars as opposed to 30 dollars for the VZW one. Unfortunately the Maxboost case is on its way back to amazon...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cmdauria:
I just wanted to let you guys know about a pretty good case deal. It actually has 2 layers of protection and a kickstand. It has quite a few different colors available. It is definitely not an Otterbox but I feel pretty confident in its ability to protect my phone from a fall.

It is actually on sale from Amazon right now for a whopping $5. It is also a great filler item if you are ordering other stuff and need to get to $35 for free shipping.

Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GGG8QIU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am using the "Shield" series.

Has anyone bought one of these. For $7.99 I figured I can't go wrong.

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

I had this on my s3 as well and never had issue for the year I had my s3. It is a bit thick in the back and sides and was hard to remove. There's one on ebay for cheaper as well.

There's a thinner one as well with just the stand part being thick but it doesn't feel as sturdy but it's much easier to remove. Atleast when I had it on my note 2. But the stand eventually broke.

I do miss having a kick stand so the thinner one might be in my future purchase if the caseology doesn't fit my needs.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] papabear:
Needing a case when I ordered my gn3, I didn't have enough money for an otterbox at the time. So, after reading reviews, I opted for the iblaison. Not a bad case/kickstand. Maybe, just me, I dunno, but the holster takes work in and out (that's what she said).. so, it does it's job but I like the easability of the otterbox holster. I ordered the defender on amazon for 45$. If one is interested in the iblaison we can work out a deal. Otherwise I will just send it back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] non1oson:
any pics with the case on bro? that's an expensive case :>
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] papabear:
45$ is not much, really, when Otterbox Defender is the name. Haha. The GN3 Otterbox Defender case is slimmer than previous Defender cases I have owned. But still offers layers of protection.

If you haven't seen it already. There is a thread someone has that has LOTS of cases, including the defender and commuter cases. So you can see there, but since mine is a different (non) color I will take pics.

One just out of the box.

This one meets the requirements - it actually replaces the back cover like we want, not fits on top of it, like cases do: http://www.anymode.co.uk/mobile phone/galaxy note 3/kickstand folio cover

It does make the phone noticeably thicker, than the stock back cover and it's pricey, so I'm reluctant to pull the trigger on it. It's new, so amazon & ebay still dont have it, but here is a couple of places to buy:

I'm using a Cruzerlite Spi-Force hybrid case that looks identical to that Minisuit one you linked but costs twice as much:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FM1VIGM/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item

Absolutely love it though, even for $13 instead of $7. Feel is very sturdy, kickstand works perfect, easy to grip and give me the impression that i'm not going to accidentally crush the phone while holding it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] recDNA:
fot tha much money I wish they included a nice kickstand
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] V@no:
Are these all we have? It's a shame, because most of them too bulky and makes Note 3 look and feel like Note 2 with sloped, slippery edges.

Evecase S-Line Slim TPU was perfect for my taste on Note 2, ridged-non-slip edges, slim design, raised up and easy to feel and push buttons, decent kickstand. The same case for Note 3 is a total disaster:

1) the squarish edges are gone: rounded, making it 99% looking and feel like Note 2. The uniqueness design of Note 3 is gone

2) the buttons are impossible to feel because they are barely raised up and unacceptably hard to press. Unlike N2 version N3 has only one volume button

3) the kickstand is so flimsy, that attempt touching the screen makes it collapse

4) top right corner is exposed - WHAT THE F@#%K? Who designed it?

5) the edges that supposed to touch the screen are raised up and kind of sharp that will collect dirt and dust, especially when you swiping on screen to the edge of the screen it simply scrapes any dirt from your fingers.

The only positive thing I could say about this case is it makes holding the phone much, much more secure especially with sweaty/greasy hands.

P.S.

Going through photos on ebay I've noticed that some other cases have exposed top right corner. Is there a model of N3 that has something in that corner?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TareX:
I'm looking for a Note 3 case that:

Please let me know... I've been looking in all threads but there's always one thing missing.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] aznmode:
I haven't found a thin one either. There was one in eBay but the back was thick and wasn't cheap. If you're handy you can do this

I have the I-Blason case, works awesome. only issue I have is that I bought the OEM wireless charging cover for my Note 3 and now the I-Blason case will not fit correctly.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] V@no:
Ebay

Looks good, feels good, very slim, lay flat but:

1) the kickstand is so thin and flimsy that I'm afraid it's gonna snap if I touch the screen while it's stands. Unlike on Evecase S-Line Slim TPU where kickstand just flips 180 degree when applied too much force, this kickstand will break as the mechanism doesn't allow 180 degree movement.

2) slick plastic all around edges

3) hard "rubber" is so thin that taping corner of the phone on the table sounds like you tapping naked phone, aka doesn't sound like it protects anything.

4) the last nail in the coffin is that the holes are very princely done, however they are too small, Note 2 usb cable doesn't fit. This alone renders this case useless to me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
Yeah I bought the blue one. The only good thing was it being $3 for me after I used up my eBay rewards or whatever they call it. The bad thing is... well the case is awful. Its very thin feeling, the stand feels like it's going to break off any given second as the phone seems to be too much weight for it, and more then likely I would be scared to use this case as it feels like there's no sense of protection.

That is pretty interesting that your experience was the opposite of mine - but to each their own :good:

Strangely, the Cruzerlite one I linked has much better (and more or less identical to my) reviews, where that cheaper one you linked has only 1 review - a displeased customer at that. I wonder of they are made by the same company in China or if one is just a knockoff of the other?

I wouldn't be shocked if they come from the same manufacturing plant myself. The picture of the Cruzerlite one is the same one as the Fosman one as well.

Seidio LEDGER Flip Case with Metal Kickstand

This fits the Note 3 like a glove. I hardly notice it even when I put the phone in my pocket.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TareX:
Easily the best Note cover ever, I ordered it immediately and it arrived a few days back. It's everything I ever wanted in my Note 3 cover.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] recDNA:
Is it possible to type one handed? How do you keep the flip top out of the way? Will the kickstand support portrait and landscape viewing? I've always been concerned that the flip open front would get in the way when using the phone.

Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TareX:
You have to flip the cover all the way to the back (easily) before typing one handed.

No portrait mode for the kickstand, unfortunately. Yes, that's the only drawback I can think of.

Again, the flip cover easily turns all the way to the back.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] recDNA:
And can you flip it, hold it, and type one handed?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] OnedeeTentee:
Thank you!

I've been a lurker here but I created an XDA account soley to say thanks to this thread. I just picked up a vzw note3 today and need a solid kickstand case.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] blame8008:
I prefer the 1st case (Cellto) to be honest. I feel like the other kickstand cases require a very even surface whereas the wallet styled case is more flexible in that area.

Plus, I like the convenience of the wallet cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] makavelisk:
Does the cover stay completely closed all of the time?? I saw a review on this case and it looked like it had the same issue as many of the cover cases and won't stay shut.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TareX:
The first few days there was a bit of a problem. After that it would shut easily with no problems at all.

Has anyone come across a 'spring' kickstand case like this S4 version (pic attached). I had one on my Note 2 and loved the one handed operation; and it also functioned like a pop-out handle.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TareX:
After only two months of my purchasing the SEIDIO Ledger kickstand case, it's a complete wreck. I'll post pictures soon but this goes beyond shoddy workmanship. They should have sold it for one Tenth the price.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jazzmachine:
I'm also a user of the Seidio LEDGER Flip. I just got a new one because the magnetic oval-shaped piece in the stand came out, and stopped working to hold the stand down for some reason, even after I glued it back in. RMA was super easy, just filled out a form on their website and next day got an email that a replacement case would be in the mail within the next couple of days. I called them up to ask if they wanted me to send the case with the messed up kickstand back... the helpful rep I spoke with said it varied by the situation if they ask for a replaced case to be returned but it would say in the email so I could keep mine.

The case does fit like a glove... I put one of the "slim" qi charging module under the stock battery cover, which causes the case to protrude just barely (it's no problem to snap all the connectors back on, and definitely isn't noticeable when holding the phone uncased. If I take the module out, the phone snaps right in, but with the charger in (as it usually is), I had to "stretch" the case for the left bottom corner to snap in all the way (via time on the first one, and pushing the corner that wouldn't snap in and putting a laptop on top of the phone / case like that for an hour the second). Wireless charging through the case works fine.

I always keep an ID and CC in the case, so that prevents the cover from closing fully, but it closes enough and generally stays that way due to the weight of the material that the front is made out of. I use a free app called Smart Screen which turns the screen on/off using the proximity sensor (it seems like there might be some annoying ads in it; I frequently get toasts saying that the Xposed module xad has blocked an ad, and I know what what else they would be from).

Anyways, this case rocks, is super-slim (especially for a wallet-style case), and I had an excellent experience with Siedio support.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dewd2:
It is ironic that I just signed on here to say the same thing. At first I thought this case was the best one I ever owned. And it was until my Note 3 started falling out of the case. It is now so insecure that just picking it up is dangerous.

I can see the problem - the tiny little corners that hold the phone are starting to chip apart. Complete junk.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jazzmachine:
That sucks you guys are (also) having problems with your Seidio cases. I'd recommend heading over to their website and filling out the RMA form, describing the damage that the case has incurred, and you should have a fresh one in about a week.

I haven't had any problems with my LEDGER Flip except for the kickstand magnetism which prompted my rma. I'm curious what has happened to the cases of those with complaints? Also, what you think caused it (i.e. which element of regular use)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TareX:
Nothing. That's the thing. Just regular wear and tear. Even my work colleagues to whom I recommended it, are experiencing the same peeling off of the edges. It's just badly made. I'll fill out the RMA form and post images here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dewd2:
That's hard to say. I constantly move my phone from my pocket (lose fitting causal work pants) to my desk and back again. I use iBolt dock in the car. This is the same routine that I have used with my S2 and S4 and never had issues with the cases.

I believe it is just poorly designed.

Could you explain with facts why is Samsung technically more advanced? I own an mw150 for a long time and it works like a charm. Now is time to change due the screen is broken.

Due some problems with Samsung mktg telling you lies about certain products, this time I will assure 100% on present capabilities each device. Except the ugly aspect and the screen bad quality, rest of the funcionality I claim are included and working in Sony. Again I am not interested in the camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] jah:
I am wondering if you have to accept the call from the Note 3 to divert the call to the BT headset. In my car I have a button to accept calls, which what I used. I will test tomorrow once I charge a spare BT headset.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gshaw1967:
I have found that the watch, the phone, and the headset all ring. When I answer with the phone the audio goes there, when I answer with the watch the audio goes there, when you answer with the headset (which is what I do) the audio goes there. In short, what ever device you answer with is where the audio goes. Hope this helps

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] BarryH_GEG:
When you have the N3 connected to your car using multipoint (more than one BT device) the car takes priority over the Gear. My N3 BT connection to my car controls audio playback, phone calls (initiated and received) using the car's controls, and S Voice on the N3 will pause audio to send text messages et.al. which couldn't be done when using A2DP previously. The only issue I've found with the Gear as it applies to BT is if the phone's got its mic open (EG: S Voice "listening") the Gear will display an error "microphone in use, try again." Other than that it's pretty much flawless BT wise.
