Just got mine in, here are some pictures. Sorry if it doesn't seem "white." Didn't have the best lighting. But anyways, the case feels FANTASTIC. I love the way this thing feels and looks and I mean yeah it adds some bulk, but not as much as an Otterbox and I think it offers similar protection. the raised edges on the corner keep the hard shell back form always touchign the surface so it doesn't scratch. The UAG logo seems to be in a aluminum finish. The edges are raised so you have more protection for your screen and can have it face down on the table. THe corners are made of that rubber material to help absorb shock and overall this case just looks and feels awesome. Definitely would recommend it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bladerealm124:
Sold. Thank you kind sir
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kCelsius:
Forgot to say that it comes with a screen protector but I already have one on.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] chadryanroth:
I'm guessing there is no bubbling around the edges of the screen protector? I'll be using this case with a spigen glas.t screen protector. Hopefully this case does not interfere with the protector.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Equinoux:
I just got my case in too (white). It's a lot better than I anticipated and it's not too bulky. I can actually grip this thing and not worry about it slipping, unlike the Spigen Slim case I also have. Overall, this is probably one of the best cases I've ever bought for a smart phone. Close second would be the Seidio Active for my Galaxy Nexus.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CB620:
Nice case but I'll be waiting for the Defender.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bladerealm124:
Any reason you opted for the UAG over the active? I'm trying to decide between the two. I think I'm going UAG but I really miss my kickstand from my note 2's active case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] gcforreal:
I'm loving my USG outland case..but does anybody know of any holsters or maybe belt clip type pouches that will fit this phone with a case? ...I remember the active holster for the 2 would fit the uag and note 2...I wonder will the new active/dilex holster fit the uag...I'm also thinking about adding one of those bunker ring or a fly grip to make it the perfect case
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Equinoux:
I had problems with NFC on my Nexus with the kickstand. It looks like they call it "Dilex" with kickstand now? It was called Seidio Active with kickstand when I bought it nearly 2 years ago.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] YoungSkeezy:
Thank you for the pics! Looks awesome:)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kCelsius:
I don't have a tempered glass screen protector but I have a regular spigen one and it works fine no bubbling.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] panday74:
my outland came this afternoon. very happy. time to sell my spigen slim.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
what happened to the "glare free" flash feature.. it still in there... looks like its been taken out?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
For anyone wondering about the bulk, here you go. I'm not going to sugar coat it. This case does add significant thickness. On the flip side, the added thickness and great grip on the case material make the phone much more natural to hold.

One thing that is apparently missing from my case is a cutout for the hole near the stylus. Anybody else notice this? Whatever. I drilled my own hole. :p
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] flipq88:
It still shows it on UAG website. Mine is estimated to be here Monday but hopefully it gets here today. Favorite case on my S3, S4 and probably on my Note 3.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Speedy Gonzalez:
you mean the speaker hole?

when you order your case? I place the order for the aero 10/10 and has not shipped yet
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Alanmw86:
Did they really forget to put a hole for the extra mic down there? damnit! I was totally going to order one too, grr
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
How grippy is it while lying flat on say like a glass/wood table?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Is it really that much of a deal breaker tho? Like does that mic really make much of a difference?

---------- Post added at 04:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

By the way, I got my black case today! Earlier than the estimated time so I'm very happy with this case. I have found my new daily case. I'll try to post pics up later since I have no other camera and will need my girlfriends phone to take pics

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:10 PM ----------

Let me just say.....UAG+iLoome screenmate+spigen aluminum button = TOTAL WIN :D:thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] harosxcomp170:
I ordered my case like on Oct 1st and I still haven't received it! They suck at shipping there cases!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
Guys I am so happy right now!! I just checked the tracking number and the delivery date changed from Monday Nov. 4th to Saturday Nov. 2nd Woot! Lol
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Alanmw86:
Not sure but I'm not buying something that's messed up without at least them saying they are going to correct the issue.

Man everyone is botching note 3 case releases
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Speedy Gonzalez:
yeah lol didn't noticed the missing mic hole I drilled one already ;)

edit: just got my blue case now I don't know witch one to use both are awesome !
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Nah not the speaker hole. I was talking about the extra mic hole on the corner next to the stylus, which it sounds like you already drilled haha.

I'm almost ashamed to say I ordered my Aero on 10/28. Shipping in order apparently isn't one of UAG's strong suits. Although I do live practically right next to their shipping source. That doesn't make it right that I got mine ahead of so many others though.

---------- Post added at 09:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

Pretty grippy I'd say. It's not going anywhere unless you literally knock it off of the table. The front has a nice lip that will keep it in place, and the back actually has little feet made of the same material as the front lip.

The grip on this case is light years ahead of the slippery Neo Hybrid I used to use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] changt34x:
Wow, this case is looking pretty good. Right now I am on the fence deciding between holding out for the ZeroLemon battery/case and getting one of these with another stock battery. To those that have it, how easy/difficult is it to remove the case (to swap batteries), and do you think constant removal will damage it much in the long run (like stretching, cracking, etc)?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mgkaotic:
I just got my case yesterday, which was quite a surprise since I never received a shipping confirmation.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eglesiaw:
Came in the mail today!

[AT&T-SGN3]
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Novarider:
How slick is the back of the phone when you hold it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eglesiaw:
you mean the back of the case? It's fairly smooth and not sticky, I feel like it would easily slide off an uneven surface. I'm not sure but UAG cases seem to be made of a material that is anti-fingerprint. Doesn't get a greasy feel to it after regular use like other cases I've owned. Granted I wash it every so often as well. I also use an iRing on mine so falling out of my hand is not an issue. If you place the iRing right in the center of your case it makes your phone fun to spin on your desk while you procrastinate doing work. Just an FYI

[AT&T-SGN3]
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kiwiguy99:
Got my blue one today with no shipping notification (ordered on the 25th). A little bluer than I was expecting, but still a great case. Really like the honeycomb grip down the sides.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
Just got my case. One thing so far I like about it is that once its on.. it does NOT come off easily ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bladerealm124:
So much so that it would be annoying to swap batteries? Do you feel it would damage the phone or case in any way with constant removal and installation? Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Malevolence:
And is it too thick for QI charging?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
Yes, let's just say I do not look forward to swapping batteries. when I first tried to remove it I was scared I was going to damage the screen because of the amount of pressure I was using on the phone to remove the case around the corners. It's a really sturdy case, you can just barely bend the lip.

As for damaging the phone, no the case itself won't damage the phone when removing and installing, it's the amount of pressure you use on the screen that I think might. Maybe there is a better/easier way to remove the case. Any tips?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
I have the easiest time removing the case from the bottom, by sliding out each bottom corner individually, then pulling the whole phone downward to not damage the buttons.

But I would definitely not try removing it too frequently. I'd be too afraid to loosen the case fit over time. A two piece case is probably a better choice for battery swappers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
"On the front of the case an engineered bezel deflects unwanted flash interference and ensures beautiful pictures every time." this seems to be missing.. if it is.. those of you who ordered need to be sending them e-mails..... same about the bottom mic..... for such a premium product with a premium identity... these issues should be resolved.. especially the mic hole..... and if they don't intend on the bezel for flash.. take it off the note 3 information screen..... i'm literally on the edge of pulling the trigger on this case but these things are holding me back and making me think about the slim armor instead.... no shipping hassles.. no mis information..... not sure if its worth it.. especially when i can get the armor for almost half the price...... i really like the outfit and the grips on the sides.... kind of made me make up my mind for uag but then reading last few pages making me think again. along with no one mentioning the bezel.... (if it works or not really isn't the issue.. to me it is that it's on the screen and so far it doesn't look like it is included in the case.. unless someone can correct me?)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] bladerealm124:
You may have just switched my decision back to a seidio active or surface. Changing the battery is fairly important to me and I usually swap mine out at least once a day.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
Same here, I have a slim armor currently as a stop gap protection but it's pretty tough to remove. I was hoping the UAG was easy to remove, but maybe the issue is overblown.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
Can someone answer ? If it gets shoved under the rug it's really no longer premium products.. just saying.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] eglesiaw:
Is this the engineered bezel you're referring to? It's kind of raised right there. Also I just drilled a hole for the speaker on mine too. Didn't notice that.

[AT&T-SGN3]
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ctn_heli:
the engineered bezel refers to the cutout design for the camera, it is not an additional feature.. the bezel is angled accurately to ensure the rays of flash do not reflect off the edge of the case...that is all that it is.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
No... goto the website. It's about a bezel over the flash on the note 3 that deflects the flash some.. making better pictures. Do appreciate the reply though
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] outkast22:
I just got my black scout today, feels awesome!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ukic:
So all the owners have drilled small holes for their mics?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
Apparently. . ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] balkp:
hildfgh seize

You guys sure that corner hole is for a mic? I'm pretty sure it was for sampling the external air temp and humidity. I remember seeing a disassemble video of the note showing the humidity and temp sensors there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
isn't that hole for ambient noise cancellation?

at least that's what I've been told with every other phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ukic:
Whatever it's for as long as it's a sensor, it shouldn't be covered...

I guess it's even more important? The other line will have a hard time hearing you without ambient noise cancellation...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.m0x:
Oh freaking sweet news man. This might mean mine will arrive at work tomorrow. I also ordered a blue one, before you, and haven't received any shipping notification.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] GalaxyNote3:
How tough is the case? Can it survive drop from tablet height?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] lm that guy:
Yes, it will aurvive
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
I dropped my N2 with an UAG case on it from waist height multiple times and nothing happened. I can't image it being any different with the N3 and an UAG case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
I dropped an s3 from waist high naked multiple times.. at least 10 with just basic scratches on the corner.. bit lucky but if u don't hit it screen down don't expect much but dings. I even had the back fly off it once.. just more dings and scratches.... The uag is agitating me be a use of the mic hole... we shouldn't have to diy a case out of the box.. especially a 35 dollar one that we have two weeks to see.. Unfortunately I'll still buy probably
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
I have the Seido surface (BB Pt) and it has that hole covered too.

I find it entirely unacceptable that this has been overlooked!

My $9.99 Diztronic has the proper cutout! It also fits the Seido holster perfectly and suits everyday carry (EDC) duties well. I dropped the phone in this (Diztronic), bounced off a stool and fell on concrete. Phone is perfect and corner of case has a very slight marred appearance. I'm sure the phone's trim would be dinged if the phone was naked...

I thought about drilling a hole in the Seido. One of my clients is a defense contractor and has CMM equipment that could find the location perfectly and the hole could be made with a YAG laser system...

But it shouldn't have to be this way in the first place! Boo to rushed design lacking QC. Hopefully they caught this and V2 will be proper. A good company will offer free replacements for those asking. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dougdirt:
Holy shmokes dude, don't buy this case then.

We're all here telling you it's awesome though.

I'm just a schlep, not a contractor, and I just eyeballed it and used a one eighth inch bit and drilled a frickin hole in it and it looks GREAT.

:thumbup::banghead:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kawaisa:
They're rushing these out, they'll probably revise them
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Haha one would hope they do revise the cases for future potential customers.

I eyeballed my hole by setting the phone on top of the case and lining up the power and volume buttons. No problem, no regrets. Even if they do revise the case, I'll keep this one. :) The case is that good for me to not care about the diy hole haha.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ukic:
Lucky. Some of us (me personally) don't have access to these drilling materials and honestly not good at any type of drilling :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
That's unfortunate. :/ I'm sure they'll revise it if enough people email in to complain about the missing hole. That's just bad QA imo.

What we really need is access to the laser equipment mentioned a few posts above lol.

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

Well. I did my part. Just sent in a report to UAG on the missing hole. We'll see what happens.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
The point is one can expect these shortcomings with a cheap TPU found on ebay for the price of a cheeseburger. A $30+ brand name case? Absolutely not!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ukic:
True... But us just talking about it and not reporting it will do no good. Let's help them help us? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
Glad this getting attention.. thanks for those that have emailed in
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cpufrost:
Email them a link to this thread?

Where there's smoke there's a fire... ;)

I have these cases for my HTC One and S4 and have no problems with them as far as omitting cutouts.

Does anyone know for sure what that hole (in the phone) is for? It would appear a mic but we're guessing at this point.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rawrfische:
Lol no idea. I find that the newer the phone, the more frigging holes it has. Noise cancel mic would've been my first guess, but at this point who knows.

Good idea linking them to this thread. Wish I had thought to do that when I sent my report in. I'll send another suggestion in later when I'm not tied up with my kids.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
Yea I'm gonna email them and link this thread to see that many people are talking about the missing hole. It doesn't bother me. It's still a great case. It's arguably the best case for the Note 3. If Spigen release the Slim Armor View (which I think they will because their FB page says they some a special surprise for Note 3 users), then the UAG and the View will be my every day cases. Don't regret spending $30+ on this beast. Looks great and I don't have to worry about my phone surviving a fall because I know it will :thumbup:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] loopers:
All though not a buyer I just sent them an e-mail and didn't link the forum, I did mention that I use this forum for reviews on many items because of the fact people that are registered to this forum often know a great deal about the ins and outs of their phones. So kudos to you ding-a-lings :p (JK) .... I stated the same issue and told them that this could potentially be a deal breaker to more then just a few people that want to spend this type of money on a case... I hate holding out as I want to place my order now.... but gonna have to wait to see what they say.....

On that note... should I order direct from their site or is Amazon ok? I'm asking because I have an iloome flex in my cart waiting.. (35 dollars or more free shipping) or if i should just get the iloome and a cheepo case (still probably be under 20.. and hold out and buy directly from uag when the designer flaws are summed up.

Thanks for all the help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ukic:
Now why would you want to link the thread? Lol. If you want yeah but I sent an email concerning about the missing hole.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sodomanaz:
Buy a small drill bit kit. Smaller the gauge the better so if you make a mistake, you don't ruin too much of the case. Heat it up with a torch until it is red hot and slowly penetrate the spot with a twisting motion quickly with a small bit of pressure. Should go in and out like butter right away. Flake off the hard crusty bits around the holes and it's ready to go in like 2 minutes.

Don't blame me when you make a mess out of your case! But I have done it on a few dodgy origin cases and it works fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Speedy Gonzalez:
This maybe something not everyone can do without the right tools but here is a pic of where the hole needs to be drilled looks big but is the same size as the other microphone hole
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ctn_heli:
does the inside face of the place where the hole is drilled, flush with the phone?, if not then this is a gap in which dust will collect.
[Themer General Discussion] Oxgroth:
I was wondering if i use minimalistic text as a buttons, can i export the theme and preserve the icons i use in it. I can photoshop the text and make em bitmaps but when i put it as icon on app it is really small, and looks awefool. My theme requares to be able to resize this icon. How can i manage that to work.

Thanks in advance.
[Themer General Discussion] SchmilK:
You need to use the themer everything widget and set pictures and create hotspots rather than trying to use app icons because those are restricted and will scale down to the default size that your screen resolution will use.
[Themer General Discussion] Marco_Themer:
Minimalistic Text integration

Hi Oxgroth,

Unfortunately Minimalistic Text isn't supported as a 'exportable' widget, only Themer's built in Everything Widget, RSS reader, etc. will work (and Zooper Widget soon).

SchmilK is right in saying the Everything Widget can be used. It's also a lot more user friendly :)
[Themer General Discussion] Oxgroth:
Thank you very much. I`ll test out Everything widget, i hope i can use the custom fonts for text buttons.

OK bare with me. I have a SM-N900T that has the white dialer screen. I'm rooted and installed GooManager. I''ve restarted in recovery and backed up everything. If I install Holofied Black will that change all the screens that are white now (dialer/sms/contacts) to a black background with white font? Will the dialer be a black background/white font and dark blue buttons? When I copy the sark theme to TWRP/theme/ui.zip and 4 Restart to recovery. After I'm in recovery then what do I need to do?
