Not a fan of either personally. Neither one of them will provide much if any protection if you drop the phone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Jfree3000:
Back to the drawing board my friend, neither one of those cases are meant for drop protection imho. I can almost guarantee signal loss with that aluminum case and that leather one looks weird, like a luggage bag.

I actually bought a wallet style case the first day I bought this phone just to have a case on it and its just turned out to be a pain as far as using the phone for calling someone. I would say look into the Spigen Slim Armor, Spigen Neo Hybrid, or UAG cases and if you do look at a Spigen case, make sure they are authentic. I mentioned those three because I have both Spigen's for the note and had the UAG for my GS3, great cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xile6:
not a fan of the flip cases.

the bumper you posted will drop your signal not due to the metal back.

There is another bumper tha just goes around the outside so it doesnt block the antenna.

It does suck about the screw driver being needed but ahh i have a htc one m7 and its all build in no removing the battery, just like iphones.

So i dont think that that is such a big deal.

Dropping it will make a dent but depends on where you get it from you should be able to buy a new one if you dent up this one.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DrawnToLife:
For myself personally, having used a wallet case for a good 2 months, it's nothing special. It's convenient in some cases, but when you get coins for change, it kind of sucks. Also, I live in constant fear that I'm going to accidentally drop everything out if it every time I open it. That being said, I'd much rather the wallet over the screw in case. I open my phone up a lot, so yeah. I'm currently using a Neo Hybrid (if you could call it that.. it's fake :P) and a tempered glass screen protector. It's awesome :D Dunno if that helps or not.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Eric214:
I have used the Neo Hybrid on my S4 and its was a GREAT case. It's not aluminum so no signal issues. I will NEVER use a case that flips cloed on the screen. To many issues with scratch/wear on the glass with sand or other particles. Being in your pocket it creates friction on the glass. If it doesn't scratch with sand or dirt, it will likely over time wear away the oleophobic coating on the glass or glass screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dr.m0x:
Yeah it makes me cringe when people say they like them for the screen protection. Yes they cover the screen, this is very different from protecting the screen.

I'd recommend either a neo hybrid, slim armor or uag, in combination with a tempered glass screen protector.

Imo, the uag will give the most protection and the neo the least. The neo still provides good protection, just not as good as the other two.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
When I buy a case, its protection I look for, not aesthetics, so the leather cases aren't even an option for me.

I've got an Otterbox Defender. Hard plastic inner with rubber outer and flaps for the charging port and the headphone jack. Haven't dropped the phone from a decent height yet (and I don't plan to lol) but I've used two-piece cases on other devices and I find they offer the best protection. The Otterbox Commuter is a bit cheaper and a bit smaller, but there's no built-in screen protector, though it does come with a plastic adhesive one. The Commuter is a little less protective than the Defender and the Defender is a bit bulkier, but not by that much, I tried both at the store before I bought the Defender. The Defender does work with some glass screen protectors for added protection as well, if you remove the built-in screen plastic protector.

Might change your mind on other possibilities for cases.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] WandersonGD:
I didn't find any case for note 3 on zerolemon's website.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] d12unk13astard:
He means the otterbox like case that comes with the zerolemon battery. A great deal for only $60!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] sauron82:
I read the reviews there. Never tried the Spigen or the other one, but I tried both Otterbox cases and agree with the reviewer.

Mine arrived today from Zerolemon, extended battery with the tough case. Will install when I get home from work and let you know what I think. First impressions just seeing the case in my hands, it's not quite as nice a case as the Otterbox, but I'll report back once I put the phone in.

UPDATE: So I put the phone in the new case with the extended battery. The Otterbox is the only other case I've used on my Note 3, so that's all I have to compare the Zerolemon with. It's not much thicker than the Otterbox, though the Otterbox Defender does seem to offer a bit more protection: The rubber outside of the Zerolemon is a bit harder than the rubber on the Otterbox; it just seems like the Otterbox would absorb an impact a bit better than the Zerolemon. The flaps are a bit difficult to open as well, since they're just thin flaps instead of thicker plugs like the Otterbox. And there's a flap over the S-Pen!! Some people might like that, but I don't. That flap also covers the speaker, but there is a slit in the flap and volume is surprisingly not affected. I just find that flap unnecessary and it can really be in the way if you use the pen a lot. The battery came with about a 50% charge (that will probably vary from order to order), but it says to fully charge it right away anyway. As I only just started using the case and battery, I can't comment on the life of the extended battery.

That said, I'd be willing to put up with the annoying flaps and slightly less protection to get the extended battery, but I will be returning the case, as it is unusable for me: The hole for the headphone jack is too small, and will only take the narrow-body plugs, usually found on earbuds or cheaper headphones. The problem is that the hole in the case is a rectangle; round peg, square hole. My headphones have a full size body on the plug, so they just don't fit. I mean the part that you hold as you plug in the headphones, directly above the plug that actually goes in. Very disappointing since a round hole for a round plug just makes sense and the case is otherwise well-designed. I was really looking forward to the extended battery, but the headphones issue is a deal-breaker.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] cwms27:
Ran into the same problem with the headphone jack opening being to small. I ended up buying a really short extension with a smaller collar that fit the opening. Love the case and battery. Also purchased the MIME Feather tempered glass and replaced the plastic protector that came with the case.

Flip Wallet Cases

I'm particularly fond of the look and usage of the flip cases myself (not that I've actually had one for myself. Mine are on their way from China as we speak...). For all my other phones, I've had the bumper cases which are good (cause I'm a firm believer in protecting your tech investments) but I'm a girl. I have wristlets instead of wallets and the flip wallet cases does the job for me. Whatever works best to be honest. And, I strongly recommend getting multiple cases for different purposes.

I used this site >> galaxynote3case (google it please)<< which coincidentally I found cruising through this forum a few months ago.

I'll let you know how good the flip/wallet cases are when I finally get mine.

I guess the title says it all. I've wiped the cache from fastboot as well. Done the whole thing twice, in the order of factory reset, wiping the cache, flashing the boot image, flashing the ROM. Still stuck on the CyanogenMod logo going round and round and round. :/

Side note: this might be stupid to ask, but is it possible to flash a new ROM in recovery without factory reset?

Hi, I like report a great work of a lot of people:

Install CM11 (I install Nighty 20140206)

Install GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE. I intall 2014-02-07 version.

Install Photosphere addon. I install v0.2.4 in 720 resolution.

Take care and read the Treats!!

I find a bug photosphere works fine, but the panoramic mode doesn't work if you install the addon, take care and think first what does you prefer. [SOLVED]

Fixed panoramic error:

Steps.

Go http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

You only need install MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE of "Photosphere Camera Addon Module"

In your device execute the file browser and go to :root/mnt/shell/emulated/

in this folder create a file ".forcephotosphere" inside you write "tuna" and save. (you can copy a .txt file, rename an write "tuna").

Wake up in recovery, clean cache and install "pa_photosphere-module-4.4.2-20140123-signed.zip".

Thats all.

The instructions in original thread you can read this in the second post:

"Added a new feature to force a Photosphere Camera/Gallery install on non-Nexus devices (thanks to the AOKP team for the inspiration).

To use this feature, place a file in /sdcard/ called '.forcephotosphere'. Inside the file, type the name of the device for which you want the camera installed. Valid choices are:

hammerhead (to install Nexus 5 Camera/Gallery)

flo (or deb) (to install Nexus 7 (2013) Camera/Gallery)

manta (to install Nexus 10 Camera/Gallery)

mako (to install Nexus 4 Camera/Gallery)

tuna (to install Galaxy Nexus Camera/Gallery)

Please do not expect ANY support for problems that may arise if you use this feature"

You can see that P880 used "tuna" install.

thank you for your thread TKruzze!!!

[LG Optimus 4X HD] korrupziony:
True, Camera does´t have options to choose the folder to save pics... It always uses the internal memory, remember that Nexus don´t have SD card and the google photosphere stock camera 4.4 is for Nexus, but you can move pics with a browser explorer or pics browser app I use QuickPic and is easy.

SOLVED and here's the solution after continously researching and working on it for days

HELP for XPERIA SP soft brick condition like mine wid low battery situation( changing of led from bright red to red, green , off led and blinking green like a 5 times

and the loop is continue, which is a symbol of very low critical condition of battery). As i suffered and for some cases of soft bricked conditions the system wont'n allow the charger or via pc connections to charge the battery, because the brain of phn is dead so malfunctions, so plz if u soft bricked yr phn and can go through

download mode use the remaining charges of battery carefully for flashing with SUS(sony update service, sus dnt supports boot unlocked devices)

or other flashtools carefully because if u make yr battery dead u could rarely have a choice to charge yr phn again ok.

SOLUTIONS for charging battery and completing flashing (found after lots of experiments)

as charging whole day and nights was worthless and useless but unless i did this,

>first download SUS (sony update service) and install it ,

>download flash tools with this link (sry cant post link forum blocked) and unrar it install tool kit and copy the 3 .ftf kernels to c: >flashtool >frimwares

(inside firmware),

>charge the device while it charges even jst 1or 2% and reamains in download mode jst for half or 1 minutes and like mentioned before changing led loops starts which wnt allow to keep device in download mode constantly,

>open flash tools and connect yr device while holding vol down button and usb connect ( as yr device with little charge can get to download mode jst for a while ,

>(DO THIS VERY QUICK CUZ U HAVE LIITTLE TIME)now hit flash button in flash tools as device is detected and choose flashmode and choose on of 3 kenrels except x10 on the list , according to yr firmware version one will surely work out and yr device will switch off.

> now be carefull dnt turn yr phn on otherwise whole process will reoccure so now jst NOW the device is able to charge or get charged , now charge nd full yr battery and again in download mode use SUS to reinstall yr phn wiping previous data (obviously you will loose the data but phn working is important,) and installing new frimware,

TADA now after installing firmware wid SUS yr phn is alive, guyz i have suffered and nothing worked quite because it was a different case changing leds ,after searching hints and giving lot of time i get the point,nd jst dnt want u people suffer like me so i post this solution for future seekers.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nanostray:
you'll be faster first choosing flashmode and choose the configs and after that you connect the phone, because flashtool will just prepare the files for flashing, even when the device is not yet connected (meaning you need maybe 7 seconds i.o 14 )

So according to [MENTION=5713756]malla69[/MENTION], Sony Xperia devices can charge themselves after flashing anything via flash tool in flashmode. The condition is to keep the device plugged in after the flash. USB charging using PC would be very very slow but worth it. I am trying it out now on my dead-battery and softbricked Sony Xperia SP

EDIT - This is wrong. He was unclear but he meant flashing the kernels and then unplugging the phone from the PC and plugging it into a Wall charger WITHOUT TRYING TO POWER ON THE DEVICE USING POWER BUTTON.

.---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

@shiroatir i think he meant flashing a kernel that matches the version of your ROM which was on your device before it bricked.

EDIT: I misunderstood him. He didn't post the links but https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...ed/td-p/550043 here he posted the links and I found a DoomLord all in one rooting kit with 3 ftf files containing only kernels from stock roms of 12.0.A.1.257, 12.0.A.2.245 and 12.0.A.2.254.
