All 7 of my cases, except for the Love Mei crap case, have all sensor holes, including the one you speak of.

Those waterproof and dustproof cases all seem to limit functionality of our very functional devices, hence why I lost interest in them early on. I haven't met too many folks that actually enjoy using those cases, tbh.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mchi5:
The best one, which I have, is the seidio dilex extended case. It works perfectly with the Anker or Hyperion 6400 extended battery

You can find it on Amazon. Sorry, being a new member they won't let me post outside links.... [emoji32]

However, what I'm using is a modified otterbox defender with the Anker extended battery. Best of both worlds, awesome protection and all day battery life!

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Reading thru this thread, makes me feel a bit better but feel I've become a case "whore" lol, or just very indecisive. What I have so far..

- Spigen neo hybrid

- Incipio Dualpro shine

- Seidio dilex extended case

- 4 TPU cases

-ANKER 6400 EXTENDED battery

- Hyperion TPU case for extended battery

- ZEROLEMON extended battery

- otterbox defender

- Spigen slim armour case.

So you can see I've got a ton of cases but the ones I use the most are the otterbox defender, which I modified to fit the extended battery in, and the incipio Dualpro shine case.

Imagine what's happen to the case when I change phones!!

Spigen NEO HYBRID

I've got the yellow Spigen NEO HYBRID, this thing is thin, light, and looks amazing. Best case i've had as far as style goes. Can't say how well it would protect against drops. Has no problems with the NFC charging receiver under the battery cover.

---------- Post added at 06:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 AM ----------

Hell yeah! I'm doing the same thing with the UAG and dark ROM themes, even have Swiftkey on the black and white keyboard theme.

I was rocking the all black otter on a black note3 until I got my xtremeguard glass screen protector, now I have the white spigen slim armor :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] dpowd:
Case-Mate Sport Pop case, and a Moshi screen protector. The phone fits snugly, and the case doesn't add much bulk. It's got a smooth back with textured rubber on the edges. The rubber is very grippy - I never feel as if the phone is going to slip out of my hands. It has all the needed cut-outs, including temp sensor (I looked after reading some of the recent posts). And I like having the integrated kick stand.

This is the third phone on which I've used a Case-Mate / Moshi combination. After using my Galaxy Note 2, and my Galaxy S-2 before that, for almost two years each, the phones were in almost new condition.

I just picked up this Note 3 about three weeks ago. It's a pretty awesome phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I like that incipio has a few accessories that they make for their cases, like trident does. Do you have the holster by any chance? If so, is it constructed well? All I'm not liking is the price of the hoslter. Its more than the damn case.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mchi5:
If you're asking if I have the holster from incipio, I do not. I have a holster that came with the otterbox defender, and zerolemon, but I never use the holster. Just not my thing
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdaDemiGod:
Trident Kraken - An amazing case!

I have went through many cases, and I think I have hit the Jackpot!

First up, was the Samsung S-view case, but the flap never stayed closed and I didn't feel the top and bottom of my phone was well protected. Returned...

Second was the UAG, which was pretty good but lacked a kickstand. Returned...

Third was Caseology, but was too thin and didn't seem like it would protect phone that good, and no kickstand. Returned...

Fourth was Spigen Slim Armor. But without a kickstand, I was really getting tired of holding up my phone all the time. Protection seemed pretty good at least. Returned...

Fifth and final, the Trident Kraken in Green. Superior rubber bumper protection with shock absorbers in the bumpers? Check!...... Metal kickstand for my 1 year old son to watch his shows? Check!...... Screen protector built in, and can be replaced? Check!...... Nice bright, vibrant color true to pic on Amazon's website? CHECK!....... Can find phone easily because of nice bright color? Check!...... Kickstand can be removed or even flipped around for left or right handed individuals? Check!...... Rubber covers for rain protection on all the openings and ports? Check!...... Bottom right hole cutout for humidity sensor that most cases don't have? Check!...... Hole on back of case to attach a lanyard? Check!... Comes with belt holster that no one uses anymore except old people? Check! Check! Check!..... Ding...Ding...Ding... We have a Winner!!!

I liked this case so much I even bought it in Blue as well. Now I alternate colors whenever I feel like it. And anyone that talks about my case is amazed by the quality. You can't go wrong with this case. Period!

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Kangal:
Nah, that case is waaay too big and it doesn't even give you extra battery.

Those plastic bumpers are too excessive unless you're working in heights like house construction.

Please check out this case I found, it truly is THE jackpot:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BLACK-HY...ll_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3a8b249b02&_uhb=1

http://www.trait-tech.com/product/T...ng-galaxy-note-3-n9000-n9002-n9005-black.html

I've got a dozen cases, half of them thicker and half of them thinner than this.

I must say this protects the phone as much as the thickest one, but is much smaller in the hand and the pocket.

Its not too heavy, and the kickstand is quality made.

I am very criticizing when it comes to cases, and despite being the best case I've seen or owned... it too isn't "perfect" for my liking, here's why:

Features: (8/10)

+Kickstand

+Matte-Black, nice design

+Good texture to touch/grippy contours

+Easy to insert/remove

+Works with glass screen protectors (unlike some cases)

-Doesn't have S-View (I don't like it anyway, its a hindrance)

-Doesn't have Wallet Slots (I wouldn't want one anyway, separate wallet for me)

-Cell reception may have been hindered (doubt it)

Durability: (9/10)

+VERY durable

+Doesn't trap too much dust/lint

-Its not dustproof (I don't care)

-Its not waterproof (I don't care)

Portability: (7/10)

+Much Much thinner than FAT, GIANT "protection" cases

+Much thinner than Wallet cases

+As thin as S-View cases

-Slightly thicker than the TPU-Kickstand case

-Thicker than Aluminium bumpers

-Harder to use one-handed, but still possible (more risk of drops)

VERDICT:

8.5/10

Recommended for those that want a *Decent* Kickstand and Great protection, with some modest gains in size.

v v oh and P.S. ....

Oh another point, the only cases that can compete with the one I linked above are these:

1) This one is new to the market, I haven't tried it yet

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GNCMS...kaprice,199,;f0120831376addf08e820acfb16d7635

2) This is a hard to find one, rare, unique and very functional. I haven't tried this one yet

http://store.androidandme.com/seidio-ledger-view-extended-with-metal-kickstand/4A22A17430.htm

3) This one is common, but very expensive also p&h expensive for me.

The only thing better about it than the main one linked above is the metal kickstand, that's about it

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seidio-Surf...sbs_ce_30?ie=UTF8&refRID=1K6N2ES3WK94FD4SQT6A

4) This is a new one too, its not better per se, its just more colourful for those who like Neon Blue and Lime Green :D

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/19096646...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

...hit that Thanks button if I could be helpful in anyway, and have an awesomest day!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] xdaDemiGod:
I actually would try #4 on your list as I do love that blue and lime green case, but seems way to expensive for a no name brand case. I see cases like that on flea bay(similiar looking, but don't look as good) for $5 to $10. They seriously need to drop the price. Good stuff though!

[MENTION=226080]universed[/MENTION] - best Note 3 case is this: https://www.tech21.com/impact-tactical-samsung-galaxy-note-3-case-black.html

Sent from my lonely, Tweaked-starved Galaxy Note 4.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
Black Seidio Surface along with xtremeguard spartan tempered glass
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jazzmachine:
Check this out: I've been using a new case for the past week and a half, after just sticking to a couple of TPU skins with built-in port covers since... a long time ago. Prior to the new home of Tweaked being recently confirmed, I had planned (and was extremely close to going through with, but bailed at the last second... whew!) on upgrading to the Note 4. I ordered a couple cases to prep for the upgrade, and decided to try squeezing my Note 3 into both, just to check them out. Surprisingly, my Note 3 (even with it's qi module-caused slight extrusion on the back) fit perfectly in both of the N4 cases that I ordered as well as one other N4 case that I "tried on" my N3 at a Tmo store just for kicks. I really couldn't believe the perfection of the fit, but button placement as well as port cutouts along the bezel all line-up

perfectly

... charging it with a mirco-usb 3 cable this very moment; no issue whatsoever!

So the case I'm using is the Verus Thor for the Note 4. It's a very nice - stylish/protective case. I picked up the one in charcoal from eBay for under $10. Ultimately, I found the surprisingly perfect fit of all three Note 4 cases on my Note 3 to be interesting mainly because that means that case options for the Note 3 are

vastly

expanded. Of course I can only "for-sure" confirm the fit for the three differently-styled cases that I tested (on my T-mobile Note 3), but as I stated when I dropped this tidbit in a different thread, "If I were in the market for a primo $50ish Note 3 case, but I like the Note 4 version better (improved design or whatever), I'd go ahead and throw down an order for the Note 4 version without hesitation."

I really like my phone in this Note 4 case, and feel that it's even more protected with the iloome tempered glass screen cover that I've had on it forever, that it's even more protected than it was in the pretty much any of the Note 3 cases that I've used :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] 1slow4G:
Man that's awesome! I wonder if other cases fit the note 3 as well. I really like the spigen neo hybrid for the note 4 with its textured back
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Ceph752:
Now that is good news if l cases are backwards compatible with note 3
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] jazzmachine:
Based on my experience trying my Note 3 in three pretty different Note 4 cases and experiencing nothing less that a "perfect-enough" fit (ex. on the Thor, which is the one I've been using for a week, I don't think the covers over the power and volume buttons line up exactly 100%, but the only consequence is that I have to make sure I press the buttons more "straight on" than I have with other cases - really not even a minor inconvenience- no prob cold booting into recovery for ex. as long as I have a solid hold on the buttons) Anyway, the other cases I've tried and had no problem whatsoever with the fit are the Ghostek Blitz (which is kind of cool but I wouldn't recommend due to a design flaw wrt the button extensions on the inside of the case extending way to far and causing many unintended power / vol presses, but the fact that my experience with it involving the same complaint that N4 user reviews all mentioned helped to confirm what I had noticed re: N3/N4 case fit). I also stopped in a Tmo store after learning the news that Tweaked is headed for the Edge to verify my doubt that my local store ever had any in stock, I checked out a Note 4 Tech21 Tactical and found what seemed to be the best fit of the three! I had my phone in the N4 Verus at the time, and mentioned that the case I was currently rocking was actually an N4 case to the girl who was working at the time to which she responded that she'd "never have know that the case wasn't made for my phone if I hadn't told her". :)

So that's my objective take on the whole deal. One pretty cool thing that did occur to me is that quite a few super-nice looking cases that have been reported to scratch the N4's metal bezel would likely work without issue / damage on the N3 :good: So I'm hesitant to flat out recommend that you just go ahead and get one, but I will say that I think I recall that particular case, and it does look pretty sweet. If I were considering buying a new case for my N3 at the moment, I'd personally go ahead and order it, expecting a great fit, but I'd make sure that I ordered from Amazon or something where it would be super-easy to return just in case (no pun! ;) ). So, hope that helps :good:

Ive been an otterbox defender user since my first smart phone ,but would love to find some new and neat.

I've recently gotten a Zenus wallet case. Genuine leather and cost me nearly 60 euros and I thought I might be making a big mistake but I actually love it. Looks and feels great plus I've been able to drop carrying a separate wallet. There's no comparison with cheaper cases which have all started falling apart in just a few days. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zenus-Bohem...mputers_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=19AKJ5M07ZNFYDNJ688S

I went a route like member redwhiteblackandblue did above although I am using the Spigen Ultra Fit Case, got it during their sale. I wanted a case that was lightweight and thin. All I really wanted it for was to prevent any scuffing or marks on my phone and it does just that. All ports and accessories are unobstructed and stylus detaches easily. With an added glass screen protector, I have what I need. I love this case.

Any recommendations for a case that is blue with a kick stand that's headphone port is fully usable? Right now I have a FOSMON HYBO-RAGGED case which is decent but the headphone port is next to impossible to use due to the case blocking off a good chunk of the port. Not to mention it seems like the case tends to get filthy quickly.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Popenda:
Hey, maybe this might be what you're looking for. Its called Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Defender Stand Rubber Heavy Duty Hybrid Hard Case Cover

It's got a kickstand that will do both portrait and landscape, which is nice :D

I already ordered the same case and will be expecting it on estimated delivery Monday, Mar 16, 2015 to Friday, Apr 10, 2015.

When i get the case, i can take som pictures and write a review about it if you want? :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TheLoonyRebel:
That would be amazing. I might try to get another FOSMON HYBO-RAGGED so I can review one that looks new myself as well. :good:
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Popenda:
Great, then i will do that when i get the case. It isn't an expensive case. You can find it on Ebay and probably Amazon. I bought it on ebay from a Chinese seller. :D
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mouseglider:
Although I am not into cases, it looks like it has good protection!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Popenda:
Yeah it sure does.

As from my earlier history with being unlucky with my Galaxy S3, I prefer to have a case that protects it. For a large phone as the Note 3 is, why not choose a case with a built-in kickstand to accompany it with.

The case should be more of a black silicone with a blue inner plastic shell, although the picture i have in the post looks like a blue silicone and blue inner plastic shell.

The case is like an otterbox. ;)

I'm using an otter box commuter, in white and gray with a skinomi self healing screen protector. I had to shop around for a carrier though. Too much junk in my pockets. Ended up with a tactical type nylon deal that snaps over my belt, hangs low like a gun holster and velcros shut. All in all in happy with the set up.
