Why, their cases suck. On the defender the outside rubber stretches and fits terrible after a short time and it makes this phone massive and almost unable to carry, at least thats how the note 2 case was.

Alright then what would you suggest for a case because I definitely won't leave mine without a case.

There's almost as many 1 star reviews for the Spigen as 5 star, sounds as though the cutouts are mis-aligned on some of them and there have also been 2-3 week shipping delays reported... so be careful with that one.
I ordered the Supcase on amazon and I like it. The original one they sent me was missing the cutout for the top noise canceling mic but they sent me a replacement which is good.

Check out uag cases they have it available already its cool looking and serves its purpose without the bulk I had it on my note 2

If anybody sees the Defender at retail please post up- thats the one Im waiting for. :good:
Don't care if you think it makes it look like a brick etc, been using them since my OG Droid and have yet to break a phone from dropping it so I'll keep using them :highfive:

Just order the seidio surface for my phone it seems like a really sturdy case, they also have an active version not [email protected] moment but to me it seems like a slimmer more appealing version of the otter box defender Series, you should check then out.

Just so you know Otterbox only covers otterbox. if you drop your phone with the case on and the phone breaks, you're out a phone. They'll replace the case for free though!
I'll prolly get defender since commuter would make it a little awkward in my pocket. Plus I can get them for cheap

I received (finally) my Neo Hybrid yesterday. The fit is great and the look is nice. I like the case a lot. I also think that it could take a drop. That being said, the case is incredibly slick. So much so, that I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable using it. I would not recommend. Way tto slick.

I just ordered a case that says it's for the N9000 model. It should still fit the Verizon N9005 right they are exactly the same right? There's another case on eBay that looks exactly the same as the one I bought and it says it works with the N9005. Just curious.

I was an otterbox fan until I discovered seidio. Much better product and company. Went with a neo hybrid with this one and I love it. I agree that it is too slick though.

I liked otterbox for protection. But like was said the case stretches in short time and looks horrible. Ballistic makes just as good cases that are easier to take off and put on. And don't stretch. Gonna try a Trident (different company) case this time around myself since I think those will be available first.

From what I have been told by my distributor end of November for Otterbox on the Note 3.

Yeah. Its not released yet. Head to their site and you can sign up for an email notification when its released.

I agree, I have a red neo-hybrid and it looks awesome but it is very slippery to hang onto.

Does anyone else take their phone out of their case for a bit?

Just wondering if it's just me that likes to take my phone out of it's case occasionally while I'm at home. I like to use it naked every now and then.

I find myself taking mine out of my case when I'm at home occasionally too. Its a very nice phone to hold in your hand in my opinion, but always keep my Quicksand case on when outdoors.
I'll have to disagree here.
My phone is my baby. I keep it in its case all the time. Since I have the elago barely there case, the case is already barely there. Lol.

Lots of money was spent on the design and ergonomics of the phone....Why ruin it all by putting it in a case. Phones don't last forever, they're good for 6 months, then get a newer one.

I normally buy cheap cases and they get scratches and stuff making it look horrible. So i have not had a case for a month i am gonna get me an expensive one this time abd see how it goes. I saw a sgp one for £29.99 gonna give that a shot.

I for agree with this, the only reason I have mine in a case is because if it gets damaged I will struggle with the repair bill, if that didn't matter I would not use a case, hence why I like to feel other whenever I can.
And it's nice to see it's not just me.

I never take my phone out of the case because i dont keep it in one.
Ive smashed it on the ground about fifteen times and the only effect its had is a small mark/dent in the screen surround.

Well, after 6 months or 1 year , I would normally give the phone to girl friend or sell it to friend. So is better to take good care of the phone.

My experience was quite the opposite--they're an absolute nightmare to install. I ended up trashing mine and went with the usual two peels one.

There isnt really a "best" case as someone will have a different opinion in certain design of feature the case will have over another.
Check out the Nexus 4 Accessories thread there is a lot as well as a sticky on the current cases out:

Im using diztronic and find it to not add much bulk to it.
If TPU gel cases are fine then Cruzerlite is pretty good. They are a bit expensive but if you buy two, you can usually get one for free from them.
Wish there was a tpu case with button cutouts
You should obviously get the new xda-developers case by cruzerlite. They look awesome

I like the quality and fit of the Nillkin cases, come with a screen protector too. Obviously an 'engineered' product when you fit one on.

Nillkin is a very nice and fitted case but it would not protect it from a drop... Just learned that the hard way earlier today... Although it appears it covers the corner bezel... Mine managed to be chipped right next to the case. Today is a sad day

Issue with the bumper case from Poetic

Let me start of by saying I personally like the bumper. Not as good looking as the official bumper, but it does the job and looks fairly nice. The only issue I am having is the fact that the rubber in the bumper tends to separate after a while. Seems like a classic you get what you pay for situation, being that its only 10 USD. Just letting everyone know before you decide to get it.

There are already multiple inquiries of this. Contact Poetic so they can issue you another bumper. Their first batch was apparently defective.

While its great that they replace them, it does show a lack of quality in the product. Im surprised there isnt more people selling their own bumpers on ebay etc

I just cant see myself using a flip case. It seems like it'll get in the way, but I like the idea of having your wallet combined with it,
Mine should be here soon. If you order do it on Amazon, they have a discount code in the description which will give you ten dollars off the price. I didn't see it till after I ordered it so check that out.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Got one
I have had one for a couple of weeks now. I really like it. My cards are easy to pull out of the slots. The leather has broken in at the spine and it folds over great. It doesn't honestly get in the way of using the phone personally. My only complaint is it gets a little thick with some cards in it. I have 3 cards in it and I can hardly fit it in my pockets. Granted my pants pockets are on the slim fitting side. I usually just carry it around or put it in my jacket pocket. So far I am impressed with it, except it takes a little work to get it out of the case. I am always afraid I am going to scratch or chip that chrome ring around the front of the phone when I pull it out of the case.
Would you guys minds putting up some be pictures, thanks!
