[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
A key issue with stock Nook rom is performance. The library sync is a resource hog and randomly results in stutter for apps. Movies, games etc. it also results in battery drain.

For this reason alone, stock is best served a quick death. CM 10.1 and Nova is a good combo and then in performance settings: Turn on 16bit transparencies and set ram to "purge assets".

Added: Any other performance settings appear to actually downgrade performance.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rog152:
Where are these performance settings located?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
You go into About device and tape the rom version several times. I think that is it to unlock it, but a quick search will get the right steps if wrong. Need a non stock rom to get the options.

I'll keep adding to the list when I see them too
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vinokirk:
I always use the TPU with stand case. They are a generic case and are not made by Evercase.

Got mine for a fiver from eBay, which is the most I've ever paid for one! I got two for £2.80 for my S3 a while ago.

The stand usually snaps after about three months so buy a couple.

The stand on the actual case I have now is the slackest one I've ever had.

I would definitely be interested in purchasing one of the cases listed above as long as they are under £15 and not to thick.

I have the Seidio Surface case. Received it today. I love this case. It does not add much bulk and the kickstand is great. I read a lot and the kickstand makes a nice finger rest while holding the device. Flip it out and hook your pinky finger under it. Very secure and easy to hold for prolonged periods. It only stands in landscape not portrait. I had the same case for my Note 2. I am very pleased with its look and function.

I've had the Evecase for my Note 2 for almost a year with no problems. I've been waiting for the day when the plastic kickstand snaps off, but so far it's holding strong...

I'd really be interested in a review of the minisuit (or Hyperion version) with some pictures. I wonder how much bulk it adds?

Also, these look pretty sharp and the price is hard to beat!!!

I've gotten them before for other phones before, fitment is ok for the note3 but the soft rubber part for the top and bottom edges feels just a tad loose like not enough material there to feel tight like the sides
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Archaenon:
I want another like my Seidio case for my note 2, but it took literally one drop to crack the holster clip and render half of it useless. I would also like an all white one, the Blaison case looks nice, but the white version with all the black is really ugly.

I'm hoping that Spigen will make a slim armor, possibly with a kickstand.

I gave up on it because after about 3 months the kickstand part got so weak i had to be careful opening it, then i got the iblason case

Wondering about the Aduro version like for the S3... Plus there were copycats that were even less. Easy on easy off for changing batteries, kickstand works great in both directions and good protection!!

Brad
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Digitalthug:
Yep I just ordered mine. It's the case I always end up going with because it is slim, has a kickstand that works landscape AND portrait, and just as important doubles as a grip for the phone so you can securely hold it one-handed!

Only downside is that it's boring looking, even with the textures. I wish one could be made that mimics the phone's faux-leather w/ stitching.

Can you post a review of this case? How well does the kickstand work in both portrait and landscape? How protective would you say it is? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mattism78:
The otterbox defender case with holster doubles as a kickstand. I wasn't very fond of the case for my Note 2, but my S4 case was stellar. I hope the Note 3 case is just as good.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] recDNA:
I should have been more specific. I don't want portrait only. I don't want landscape only. I want a case with a kickstand that allows for portrait or landscape viewing and can handle small drops to the ground. If there is a matching holster so much the better but that isn't a deal breaker.

Thanks!

i got both the poetic invictus case and the tpu s line caseover the weekend:

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Invict...ay+(3+Year+Manufacturer+Warranty+From+Poetic)

the poetic definitely adds some width to the phone. i loved how much more slim it felt in my hand vs the note 2 but when i put the invictus on it definitely loses that. that said, it fits the phone snugly with cutouts for all the holes and sensors (as far as i can tell). the back is slippery though so yeah..i LOVE the faux leather back and i'm sad not to feel it anymore when i pick up my phone. i don't know if this is a big deal for others but the kickstand makes the capacitive buttons on the left..this just seems backwards to me as i'm right handed..maybe i'll get used to it..i don't know but so far not really liking it that way.

http://www.amazon.com/Evecase-S-Lin...d=1381011065&sr=8-6&keywords=note+3+kickstand

the s line case is a regular tpu case with a marginally functional kickstand..if you don't plan on pressing on the screen while using it then it should work fine. otherwise it will keep falling down. it does keep the phone pretty thin and it was like 5 bucks shipped so not going to complain although it doesn't seem to protect the camera as well as the poetic does.

i'll probably alternate between the two or something.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CalvinL:
I've used something nearly identical to the Evecase for my GS2 and it functions well, but the quality leaves something to be desired. The TPU part starts separating from the plastic and the kickstand isn't exactly the strongest. Overall, it's not bad for the price if you don't care about anything but the bare necessities (functional kickstand and protection).
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jsoren:
Amzer hybrid case

For $15.00 all in, it's not bad. After getting it, I decided to leave my Spigen Slim Armor on backorder (even though there's no kickstand). Here's my impressions... It's a rubber case with a skeleton overlay design. It reminds me of a cheaply made version of my Ballistic case (no kickstand) from another phone. The kickstand is all plastic except for the main hinge rod. I do like the overcenter design that locks the kickstand out, but I'm afraid that in time it will break. The fit to phone is really good and the cutouts are all generous and nothing seems to interfere with the phone. The rubber case protects the screen while laying on it's face by a good 1/8", which I like. The ability to do portrait and landscape is good, the angles look like they'll be good when sitting on an airplane with the tray out. Looks to be about 60 degrees in both portrait and landscape. You can kick the kickstand out with out locking it in place and use it for a finger rest to help hold the phone, which I like. Overall dimensions of the case on the phone are 3.25" wide, 6.2" high, and .6" thick. For real world people, it's too big to fit in the cell phone pocket on my Carhartt carpenter pants. The naked phone fits. I'm hoping the Spigen Slim Armor will fit.

Had that exact case for the Note 2. Pretty decent, but the silicone part is quite thick. Liked the stand design though. Was a touch too thick for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] recDNA:
How was it at landscape viewing? The pictures only show portrait though description claims horizontal and vertical viewing. I don't mind a thick case. The trick is to find a belt clip pouch it will fit in with the case on it.

Beamed from my Galaxy Note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bwillet:
Great for both portrait and landscape. Good angle for both, nice and sturdy. The little nibs that kept the kickstand closed was super aggressive at first, but it wore down pretty quickly. I might end up getting the case again for the Note 3, but I'm strictly a pocketer, and it was always just a touch too big for that.

Right now I'm using the Hyperion version of the "Explorer" case, and it's okay, but the kickstand leaves a lot to be desired. Already won't stay closed, and of course doesn't work in portrait at all...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Johnabis:
How about the generic s-line kickstand cases vs the seido surface kickstand case? the s-line cases are all about $5 will the cheapest I can find the seido kickstand surface case is about $25. which one is slimmer?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bvbull200:
I bought the "Evecase S-Line Slim TPU Case with Kick-Stand" for my Galaxy S3 right when the phone came out. I bought it because it was cheap, thin, and had a kickstand, but had every intention of buying a "better" case when I had time to look them over and make a decision. I ended up leaving the case on for the 1+ year that I had the phone and never changed it out. It never got loose or yellowed on the clear part. After about a year, though, it did have some scuffs on the clear section. Not enough for me to change, though.

Only draw back was that the phone didn't lay completely flat on its back as the hinge for the kickstand protruded a little. I didn't see this case for the Note 3 when I bought a cheap all black TPU case to have when I picked up my phone. I'll probably buy another, though.

Hell-o, just an update on my case...

I know those kickstand cases add some bulk, but this one, it adds too much bulk. It's raised 3 millimeters above the screen and all other openings, doesn't sound much, but it is. It looks weird. It's hard to pull the stylus out because of the thickness of the case. And the kickstand, I did brake it from its fitting the first time I opened it, and if I used it 6 more times, I'd break it for good. :D

I didn't take pictures of it because I already threw it away, I was so disappointed. :o

Is your case the Amzer one ? Because it looks similar, but yours doesn't have the Amzer logo on the back. I'll have to look out for some more cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] portrub:
I had that case for my s3. It's so tight it ripped the volume button out once when I took it off so I bought new buttons and replaced it. Luckily it worked and wasn't that hard to fix. Then it shoved my power button in so much that it would just turn off and on if you even breathed on it. I liked the case but it's hard on the buttons and the kickstand broke twice. The first time they replaced it. Beware or wary

I too am very interested in finding a case that can do both portrait and landscape mode. It seems that they are few in number that also look good and cover the whole device.

I have a Ventev case for my Note 2 that had the silicone part inside and then the separate hard plastic piece that you put on the outside, and that was a good case beside the fact that it made it about impossible to take in and out of a pocket because the silicone part would just stick to the pocket. If I hadn't had that experience I would have no problem getting the Amzer® Double Layer Hybrid Case.

For those that have had the Evecase Sline case, it does not support portrait viewing mode, correct?

I quite like the Invictus case but after reading how slippery it is I definitely want to stay away from that. I'd otherwise buy that one right now.

Does anyone else know of any other cases that support both portrait and landscape mode that haven't already been posted here?
