Hi all,
I'm new to the forum.
So I recently purchased a used International Note 3 & I'm having a REALLY hard time figuring out which case & screen protector to get.
It was suggested I get an Otterbox or Trident, but after e-mailing or calling these 2 companies, I said FORGET IT, I'm NOT giving my money to idiots or rude people. Otterbox sent me a generic answer to my question which of course didn't answer the questions at all & Trident both the girl & her manager were VERY rude & didn't understand my questions.
I also contacted a screen protector company & they also couldn't understand my simple questions. That was 3 people who couldn't understand simple English when I wanted to confirm the screen protector wouldn't stop it from cracking if it was dropped.
I don't drop my phone often & I want something easy to use, meaning, getting it in & out of the case, clear holes for the S pen, charger, etc. Won't leave marks on the cover protector when I use the S pen, the S pen actually works, I can answer the phone question with no issues, etc.
I also don't want the phone to weigh a ton afterward & that maybe the case will help me hold it better.
And of course the people who own/run the company actually care about hiring nice people who have half a brain in their head & can answer my questions & recommend a good case from their myriad of cases.
I tried searching for a company that sells ONLY cases so I could speak to a sales rep, but I couldn't find one.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Michelle

Re: Note 3 Case & Screen Prottector
yeah, I wouldn't count on people from these companies answering your questions. They do the majority of their sales online. Question, do you need something as heavy as an Otterbox? I ask because these two cases have some glowing reviews:
Amazon.com: Spigen SGP10453 Neo Hybrid Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Retail Packaging - Satin Silver: Cell Phones & Accessories
Amazon.com: [Non-Slip] Spigen Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Case Slim [Ultra Fit] [Smooth Black] Rubbery Feel Non-Slip Grip Matte Hard Case for Galaxy Note III - ECO-Friendly Packaging - Smooth Black (SGP10441): Cell Phones & Accessories
but they aren't as bulky as the two you mentioned
This one is a little thicker, and I actually have it for my SIII and it's a great case:
Amazon.com: Caseology Samsung Galaxy Note 3 [Retro Flex Series] - Slim Fit TPU Protector Shock Absorbent Bumper Case (Black) [Made in Korea] (for Verizon, AT&T Sprint, T-mobile, Unlocked): Cell Phones & Accessories
For a screen protector just get this and be done:
Amazon.com: iSmooth Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Ultra Clear Premium HD Screen Protector 3 Pack: Cell Phones & Accessories

Re: Note 3 Case & Screen Prottector
Hi there,
Thank you for responding.
Soooo, after spending a while on the reviews for all 3, I'm at a loss now.
I know some people have problems, but there's sooo many negative reviews about both cases
The Spigen case sounded okay, but people say it breaks easily & that they give NO customer service plus there's warping issues.
The Caseology is a problem b/c they don't cover the buttons, so you can't press them easily. I was just about to buy that one as it's cheap too, but I certainly don't want to have issues with pressing buttons & fitting in the USB device. Remember yours is for the SIII which isn't the same case that I need.
The screen protector some people say the S pen doesn't work well with it b/c it's rubber on rubber & I don't have any plastic tips since I got this phone used. I'm assuming mine is rubber, I don't have a plastic one to compare it to.
I don't know what to do now.
Suggestions?
Michelle

Re: Note 3 Case & Screen Prottector
Hi there,
With thousands of options you are bound to get confused.
I look at factors like cost, durability, installation and shipping time + cost when I get them from amazon or ebay.
For me they sell good at low cost. But you do need to keep an eye on the vendor and reputation before buyuing. I have bought quiet a few from the same store and got for my NOTE 3 as well from a store named GEARMAXX on ebay. I am not sure if they have their own website for sales
Installation was pretty easy too, just had to follow the instructions and no bubbles at all.
still in good shape and I am loving it.
Having said that, I must mention that the screen protectors do NOT protect your phone from drops and accidents. It just guards your screen from scratches and thats about it. For drops, I suggest you put a case on top of the protector. Double safety.
Ebay has plenty of them available.
Hope it helps !!
cheers

Re: Note 3 Case & Screen Prottector
Yes I already got both.
The screen protector had dust all over it, so the excellent company sent me new ones. They said Amazon has a problem doing that & they don't know why.
Thanks

Re: Note 3 Case & Screen Prottector
Well I have been using ultra clear screen protector for my NOTE 3 from ebay store GEARMAXX (real good deal for like 10 bucks) and was shipped for free too. Would love to add the link to make it easy for you guys, but new to this forum
Looks great on the phone and installation was a piece of cake too. Loving it and if it is screen protector you seek, this could be your solution.
Cheers
