Thanks for posting it here and thanks for the videos
so no one noticed that the Gorilla Glass has come away from the chassis? don't believe me? look at the top right hand edge of the device, the glass has gone translucent, and if you quickly pause, you'll notice a line running down both left, and right edges of the glass, at first i thought it was the chrome bezel... it's not... explains speeding the video up, hides these mistakes. TBH still a good case, but throwing it off the roof of a building is a tad extreme.

Polish your specs
That is a bubble in the screen protector and the edges of the screen protector, not damage to the glass.
I have hay fever eyes so you maybe right, however why does it get worst throughout the video ???

Nice. Still waiting for this case to be available here in Manila. Does the back cover add any extra thickness over the original back cover? I remember the case for the Note 1 added a bit of extra thickness in the back.
This thread is likely to be closed, there is a flip-cover thread in accessories.
btw, I am waiting for Orange or Blue to get in stock in the UK.
I'm glad you like it OP but personally I'm not a big fan of it. I bought the same flip case when I had my S3 and at first I loved it cause its really stylish and makes the whole device look nice but my issue with it is every time you wanna access the screen you have to flip the case and it gets really annoying after awhile. Plus when you fold it to the side the top and bottom attachment become more loose. Just my opinion but a lot of people out there like it, I hope you do too.

It sure adds a little thickness, but nothing you will feel. But the camera is recessed so the chrome wont be scratched as easily as with the original cover, which I think is a good think.
And my cover fits perfectly. I'm glad I ordered it.

phone insurance is for idiots?
you pay a 4.99$ monthly fee then when you need a phone replacement, you must pay 199$ deductible!
why even bother with insurance, it costs the same to replace the cracked screen without insurance.

My sentiments exactly. I usually hate black devices and tend to opt for white ones. But the white note 3 just looked tacky to me. As does the red. Also, I'm pretty sure the black has a different 'sticky' feel that the lighter colors can't have because they'll stain.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I wonder if they have the brushed-metal texture (like the black N3) or the cross-hatch pattern (like the white and pink N3s). Neither is discernible in the photo. To me, that's a bigger aesthetic consideration than the color itself.
Att: " hahaha these new colors will make them forget all about that bootloader"
I bought the white for the cross hatch pattern. I had the same black look for my Note 2. Got tired of it.
I like the black back tho. That's what's on my phone now

Who cares about colors. If you invest 700 USD on a phone you would be stupid not to put it in an ottorbox or similar case. In which case you would never see the colors anyways. All you should care about is the screen quality and function. It could be titty pink but as long as it is in a case nobody but you knows and so you should not care. I know I for one would not take my chance with this phone and just carry it in my pocket. Mine is in an ottorbox defender, it has had the plastic screen protector removed but in it's place is an armour brand matte protector.

Please learn to express your opinions without resorting to name-calling.
What's worse is that you're wrong. Those of us who don't buy expensive cases aren't stupid, we're right.
Many of us drop or bang our phones so seldom that we break them less than once every ten or twenty years. That means that if we buy an expensive case for each new phone, we end up paying MORE in the long run than we pay if we simply replace our unprotected phones on the rare occasions when they break. And that's in addition to the undesirable bulk (and yes, undesirable aesthetics) of a case.
All you should care about is the screen quality and function.

Who are you to tell other people what they should care about? Why aren't you able to have your own preferences without imagining that everyone else is supposed to have the same ones?

How about no? Those of us who really care get a phone for everything it offers. Bodyguardz screen protector, S View cover, insurance. I maintain the slim profile, add even more features to an already loaded phone, and I have a way to replace my phone for $300 total...

So my GF got me the 9 for my xmas gift (I got her an apple store card to outright buy the new 6, opposites and all)
Anyway I am having trouble finding a decent affordable case and glass protector for it. Im all over amazon with no luck. All the case seem like garbage and the reviews of the screen protectors say they arent real tempered glass and break easily.
Anyone bought a case they like yet. She got me a gift card to amazon with it to buy a case and I hate using my devices (all nexus) without cases on them. Wish spigen made a 9 case.
I bought this one it works great (so far) only had it for a day.

Let me know how it turns out. I figure it was on sale, so if it eventually gives out I'm not out much. ( it may always be on sale though so who knows).
There are so many cases on amazon it was hard to decide... I'm still waiting for mine to arrive but I went with this one.

Bumper goes around the entire tablet. The magnet is really strong, and no metal clips or stylus holders. It's a very clean case.

I think that I had either that case exactly, or something very similar to it, for my nexus 7, and the feature where you could make it stand up by itself was nearly useless, because it constantly fell down. it forced the tablet to stand at a nearly vertical angle, and it would just fall flat on it's face. Granted, I don't remember which brand, but I do know that I preferred to not use it.

Not a bad case- fairly priced, considering how much they want you to pay if you are considering what best buy and radio shack wants you to pay for things like that (From Belkin, etc).
However there are NO review.... always a little sign to be cautious.

its a cookie cutter case, meaning poetic has the same thing but with less designs. I'm holding it right now, yes the magnets are strong and it is a very nice slim case. the bumper goes all the way around with openings for the hard to find buttons , and the USB port and lower mic. with tiny opening for the upper microphone hole (both of them, yes the N9 records stereo vids)

Love this case. Just like the one I Have on my nexus 7 thats been on since 2012 and kept it new looking.
Fully protected, not heavy at all, and the stand is great. For 12$ its well worth it. love clam shell cases on my tabs so I get the comfort of know the screen is covered when I carry it. This is def a good case.

That's strange. After watching those disassembly videos I had the impression the metal part was quite thin that was shaped around the plastic frame. If you could deanodize the frame to its natural color it would look superb but that's just my opinion.

If i do that it will not shine, the aluminum doesnt shine, no matter how polished i made the engravers. So its better to leave it the same color as the all the edges
