I had a chance to have the one for a few minutes today. I do not think that I like the lighter feel compared to the note 2 but what do you think? Love the back though

Don't know yet, will by tomorrow. Picking mine up, can't wait. I know it's lighter for sure, but haven't had the chance to hold one.

It is definitely lighter, will take some time to get used to. Needs a bit more weight.

Can you find space between the body and the back cover to tape a couple quarters?

I'm liking the Note 3's lighter weight. I've been holding it for a few hours now and my hand appreciates the lighter weight as well.
I felt that the Note 2 was a little heavy with the UAG case I had on it. I like the lighter weight given that I'll slap a case on it anyways.
It's Light as a feather.

this phone is pretty damn sexy.. I took a minute to figure out where all the settings were located... I like it so far.....
I like it that it's light so when I use a case, it doesn't feel like I'm carrying a brick around.
Picked mine up a hour ago.Coming from a note 2, I love the lighter weight. I'm in love with everything about this phone.
The Note 2 felt pretty bulky to me. I'm really enjoying the form factor of the Note 3. I'll have to see how it handles my Spigen Bounce once it arrives
It's actually growing on me now. ..lol

Looks pretty good actually. Bought one, and for $1.95 i'll probably by a few more. Ships from NJ, so I should get it soon. Will leave my initial impressions when it arrives.
They have them in different colors as well, just have to search around. I saw green, white, black, red, and blue so far.
Edit: price went up to $4.95
Wonder how good cases are plus comes with a screen protector anyways had some PayPal balance so ordered white, black, red, blue, green!

There is also pink and HOT pink .

Doesn't look like a bad deal, but I have always wondered why people boast their phone is 0.1mm slimmer and then put a huge case like this on their phone
I personally prefer to take care when handling my phone and I've never even dropped one.

There are people who go/work at places where heavy protection is needed. For example, hiking. i usually use heavy duty cases when going to the gym

Just got the cases I ordered different colors the case feels good and all but Im having issues with the volume buttons the volume up is too tight and it pushes but it self!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Got two of the cases. Atthat price it was worth the gamble. It is a nice case for the price, but doesnt suit my needs. The back and corner protection is good, but the protection for the front is not enough for me. The rubber lip is not deep or sturdy enough form me. If dropped touch screen facing down, I dont think of will survive. But, if you dont have butter fingers or A rampaging 2 year old, i think this price is right!

Turn it inside out and carefully shave a little bit off with a razor blade.
got mine too
Really not that impressed. I think I will probably go ahead and get that Seido case everyone is talking about.
But hey...for two bucks, nothing lost too badly
Lately i have seen a lot of posts about broken gs3 screens, and i'm really afraid that something like that could happen to my beloved gs3.
At this moment i am using a regular silicon case, which i don't believe gives me enough protection.
So i have been researching the best case to protect my phone without adding much bulkiness.
I found this option on amazon and it seems quite interesting....and good looking.
http://www.amazon.com/Urban-Armor-G...TF8&colid=1DR9PV9J5Z87D&coliid=I3VQFO7QIOFFZM
A little expensive but if protects my gs3 i won't care
So...what do think about it guys ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
It looks abit bulky but should do the job.
But maybe take a look on ebay for it. Maybe find it a little bit cheaper
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Looks too One X or death star to me. It totally ruins the elegant look the GS3 goes for.
If I and to get a bulky case, I would go for Capdase armor jacket. Although I am not sure if the Aluminum kills reception or not.
Nahh...i've droped mine a couple of times with and without a tpu case and not a single scratch mate....
I also saw some drop/durability tests and i've seen the S3 is strong!
Maybe the first units had durability issues...?
Anyway i would spend money if i were you...
But if you want to stay free of guilts not buing a decent case undoubtly get an otterbox!
they're simply the best!You wont regret it....
Seems like good protection, but I like more the looks of the Otterbox Commuter for a "bulky case" (And I've heard is one of the betters in matters of protection). I'm supposed to get an Incipio Silicrylic any time this week, I decided to go for it because I thought a Commuter was overkill for my daily use and the Incipio seems to be stylish. I hope I don't regret that choice
Also, I think this should be in the Accessories section?
Well for what i have seen it the thinnest of the bulky cases. That is why i've got so interested. Also it looks pretty bad ass.
But i will check all your suggestions too.
I am still searching for a case to my new toy..the N7.

Just got mine from US to UK, took less than a week to arrive
After 2 official samsung flip cases fell apart (1 in first 10 days) I saw this and liked the look of it.
It's obviously more bulky than before but not enough to bother me. It's fairly lightweight too. Having side protection as well as the cool looking back won me over.
It Cost me £28 including delivery. Having spent over £16 (£30rrp) before on the samsung cases I can tell you the quality is far superior.
You get a screen protector included too (after a lot of time and swearing trying to fit the bast**do with no dust trapped) looks pretty good.

You'll have this with any chrome-like finish on a phone unfortunately. I've got iphones, an ipad and three android devices, all with chrome bezels and all with fine swirls and scratches...

Happened with note 1 so this time around I put best skins ever wrap around it before putting it in the case.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
Yup -- it is what it is.
Mine scratches easily and has flaked off in some spots like near the head phone jack.
I didn't bother with skins I figured after the glue hardened it would pull the paint off anyways if I tried to remove it so I don't see the point.
Cases are enough for me as I can't see it anyways with one on.
Stop worrying, it will happen some way or another and enjoy your great phone!

On my previous phone (an Infuse), I had cracked chrome near the micro-USB jack. But my Note 2, after almost three months so far, with no case, has no scratches on either the glass or the chrome.
I belive it is in the design. Samsung intended it to be soft plastic in order to absorb shock. So any lil bump can nic the paint off.
I put my Skinomi on as soon as I got it. Sooo, hopefully not.
Yea mine has a few battle scars. I wish that samsung would up their build quality a bit. Coming from an HTC Inspire (Milled Aluminum Body) the cheap plasticy feel was quite a shock. But overall I love the phone and eventually got over all the plastic.

I want to buy this protector... But I had some bad experience with the defender series. It was thick, heavy and the rubber started to strech a few weeks after I bought it. Now, I want to buy the commuter series which looks good on my friends galaxy s2... Ive checked out some reviews and its not as thick as the defender. It looks great on my friends S2. So I thought I might buy this from my S3.
Will the power and volume button be easy to use?
What do you guys think? Will it be 30 dollars well spent?
I have the commuter on my galaxy nexus. Zero major complaints. The power and volume buttons work every time I hit them. My only gripe is putting it on. Takes a little finesse to get the plastic over the silicone. Not a deal breaker as long as you aren't the kind of person who takes the battery out constantly.

Hows the grip? Does it slide in your hand or is it steady?

Thanks but Im talking about the commuter, I already have the defender
I would say its pretty steady. Then again my hands are huge and have a solid wrap around grip on it. I've had the case for roughly a year and I can't recall a time where the phone has slipped out of my hand.

How slim is it? It doesn't add a bulk like the defender does, right?
I've never seen the defender in person so I can't make an honest comparison. It does add a little thickness to all sides of the phone but I wouldn't say that it's much more bulky than the phone itself already is. You are talking about an s3 which is already a bulkier phone than my nexus. I doubt you will notice a big difference in your pocket. In hand, yes but that its expected since you are putting a cover on your phone.

I would also look at the UAG cases ^^
(Urban Armor gear.)
Awsome cases, With awsome support.
Have an Otterbox Commuter as my first case then bought a UAG after a few days.Never went back to otterbox. Buttons are softer in UAG cases and doesnt add too much bulk. +looks goood.

Does anyone else have trouble hanging in to the phone? I came from the rezound with an extended battery which gave the phone a brick like appearance LOL. It just seems pretty damn slippery sometimes and I really don't want to cover this beauty of a phone up with a case. Is it just me or what. Other than that and a locked bootloader I've got nothing else to complain about!!!
Try using the s4 it is a slime magnet!

I found myself having to pay closer attention to how I handle mine. I had a Rezound and it stayed in my hand easily. My wife has an s4 with an otter box case and it is ten times worse than my One without a case.

I am using the Incipio feather case - seems to help without covering up all of that aluminum goodness. I was very nervous handling the phone without a case - WAY too slippery.
Glad I wasn't the only one. For a minute I thought I might have had freakishly small hands or something. LOL
I feel exactly the same haha. I never had a case with my rezound and really don't want to put a case over this super sexy phone but it's indeed very slippery and I've almost dropped it a few times now :/
