Hey guys, i should be getting my note 3 next week. One question for those of you who have the device. How is the leather back holding up?
It's not really leather, it's plastic that pretty much looks and kinda feels like leather.

Pleather I actually like it gives a good grip in comparison to the slick plastic note 1 had, I am currently on the hunt for a case but for now its giving me a good grip no slips or falls yet.

The black feels more leather like than the white.

I like the black better than the white. They both look like leather but the black feels like leather too. The white one feels like plastic.

The original back of the phone is just textured plastic, but the flip cover is some sort of fake leather or maybe even real just like the blackberry bold9700. The flip cover feels very premium and seems to add a decent amount of protection.
It feels very nice actually. The black one anyway, the white one just feels like plastic. I am a huge fan of the new design. Love the fake stitching as well. Definitely go with black, though.

It feels like soft rubbery plastic like the nexus 10 unlike the white which is hard plastic ..
Btw the new note 10 black is not the same soft plastic, it is plastic same as the white note 3 .. All have the leather texture look.
If you get the flip cover like I did it's a premium feel way better than stock feel and I have a white one
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I have white and even though it does feel like plastic, I always use case with my phone so doesn't matter to me. Black does feel nicer if you gonna use the phone with no case.
I went with the black flip case , cause there was no other case . I was only going to use the flip case temp until I could get an otterbox or something , but it turns out the flip case is pretty good. I would say to at least check out the flip case , you might like it and it is full of features that are cool as well.

I say this because after reading the verge review, Joshua knocked the phone over and the back glass broke.
Well I sure dont want to risk so I will.

Maybe if there is one with the flip cover that doesn't add too much bulk otherwise no case. It's too pretty.

Yeah, probably a TPU one.
I will most definitely get a Noreve case for it.
Yep, a black rubber one for the back/sides and a clear skin for the screen.
I voted no, but would use a thin clear case if they became available just for scratch protection. I don't care for the TPU cases as they add some bulk.
Will be getting a flip case...
I don't know really, I've never had a glass parts phone, only plastic.
I saw the Verge video too and the crack was pretty annoying since once you see it you can't ignore it.
But then again with screenprotectors and cases the phone gets less comfortable, besides Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be really strong and flexible. Once I get the phone and use it for a bit I'll rethink and definitely check out this thread again to see who recommends what cases etc.
Yes, but I'll only use it for the first month or so. After that naked.

As soon as my factory plastic rubbed off back of phone I went to BB and got a cut yourself Zagg front and back. Back fits perfectly ( minus my lack of cutting skills. Front was however about 2/5th an inch too short.) Looks decent and I actually have a case coming and will probably get a different front at some point but it works for now.

It's a popular screen protector.

They have an orange-peel like texture that's pretty love it or hate it but they provide good protection and minor scratches resolve themselves over time.
I had one on my galaxy nexus. It worked well for a while but the edges gradually became very dirty, so I switched to an XO skin.

Very similar yes...in fact most of the time I prefer the BSEs as well, however, I'm looking for a bit more grip on the back of my N4 so I went with the Zagg. They are quite a bit more sticky so they improve grip. I actually bought both a BSE and a Zagg so I'll compare, but I know what the BSE feels like since I have it on the back of my iPad Mini. It's pretty slippery, which is why I bought a Zagg after it was released.

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.

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

OK so I've never used a case on any phone I've every owned because I've always hated how thick they were and made it impossible to fit in a belt style holster. Now however I definitely need one since the speaker is on the back making the phone impossible to watch videos or do anything with audio while laying the phone down. So I'm looking for something that's as thin add possible while also having a kick stand of some sort... Any ideas?

I didn't disappear. I threw the case in the trash before taking any pictures, mea culpa. I do have the holster which is nice. If you don't believe me please go for it, but it. will. scratch. your. phone. Just wait till the active case comes out. It looks nice and seems the inner layer is all silicone which is much more friendly on your phone than the plastic. The problem is, you just aren't going to find a hard slim case that wont scratch your phone unless the entire thing has a soft rubber inside, is tight in the case, and doesn't use any sort of sliding mechanism to fit together. It's the friction and whatever debris is in there that causes the scratching... on the glass. The plastic bezel is very soft. Doesn't take much to scratch it. Dust under a TPU case can scuff up the phone too, but not like the surface. You can use a TPU case with the surface. Looks fine and works great.
Just for your enjoyment... I did some dumpster diving through my kitchen trash can, but my wife took that trash out already. Got my arms full of meat juice, spit, eggs, and other nasty crap just to show that I'm not a troll, but the bag is apparently in the big can in the garage. Maybe I'll take some pics of that just to prove that I have the case. I have no axe to grind with Seidio. I've spent hundreds on their products. They just don't make a good surface case for the nexus 4. I just don't want people to damage a hard to find phone and in the process, waste $60ish hard earned on a product that does more damage than it protects.
Jayrod is not a troll and anything he says I believe he has helped me with countless things on here

Thanks for the recommendation mate, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I mean I love that it can be a kickstand but I don't like the look of a folder clip looking thing on the back of my phone. ;(
I'm looking for something slim and thin as possible but has the option to prop my device up. Something like this but for the Nexus 4:

I occasionally use a black rubberized case that is fairly thin and not obtrusive. I bought it on Amazon for next to nothing and it works well for what it is. It's not overly protective, but it will protect against scratches. It's good quality and keeps the phone from sliding around on surfaces, but nothing fancy. If you want a thin, clean look it's definitely an option that would work.

saw that, but it just makes it look bulky. i really enjoy the phone being so thin, that i don't even realize that it is in my pocket. i've realized that this phone is made rather tough with the teflon backing and gorilla glass... but of course, it's still prone to chips/scratches/dents from it falling and whatnot...
I got a cheap silicone case for my M from eBay, and it provides the scuff/drop protection. I rely on the durability of the phone to take the impact. And I'm super careful. Screen protectors are good as well!
