finally...
Now which color(s) to get!?

i ordered green but i think teal looks fantastic. i bought the teal color one for my girlfriends galaxy nexus and it looks real good. they also feel great and are pretty solid.

Any word on shipping dates?

Anyone have experience with these? I'm worried about cracking my glass

heh, ditto, im waiting till n4 comes back into stock and i can order before i get the tpu order underway

Hmmm, doesn't look like there's a hole for the speaker but that might end up being a plus?

My guess is that the final product will have a cut out for the speaker.

If you zoom in you can see the picture is a photoshop, so I'd imagine the final one will have a cut-out

Cruzerlite cases generally hug the phone very tightly, requiring a little bit of faff when they are new to get them on perfectly lined up. They never tend to accumulate daily hand grease either.
I find it almost impossible to get mine off my s3 without it ripping off it's back cover with it!
Undecided whether to grab one or a few of these, or get the bumper...or both, decide when I have them both!
I'm thinking teal too @sickred...from seeing one for the GNex, does it look girly?
I loved the green one on my white s3, but somehow I don't think green will look right with a black phone, but I dunno.

Using this on my gnex. Gotta get some as well for the n4. I'm a caseaholic

They have very high quality cases but I don't like the side ridges as they add bulk to the phone and in the past the fit caused my screen protectors to peel. Would be nice if they came out with a really slim one. The closest I found was their first one with all the little Andys on it. Unfortunately the protector had some rough spots on the edges that I had to melt with a lighter to smooth down. Company was great about it though as the owner have me a new one for free. I think I've purchased a total of five of their cases and gave one to my dad for his extended battery Verizon model. They were one of the only case maker that actually had cases that fit the bigger battery.

Stupid android on back fail

I've got a couple of cruzerlite cases for my sgs3 and they are awesome. Just enough ridge on the top to save the screen if it falls on a flat surface, and its slim and durable. I'm going to preorder at least one for my wife's new N4, but since they aren't available I'm also going to have to get a Cimo case. (They are pretty terrible compared to Cruzerlite - something about the material just sucks. I've got 3 for my SGS3 that I haven't used since I got my Cruzerlites. But they'll do the job in the meantime..)

I absolutely love the look of Cruzerlite cases...but they seem to be lacking in protection compared to the plain TPU cases you can find on eBay. For instance, it seems that the power button is not covered and is simply protruding out of the case. A drop on that side would easily damage it. Also, I'm not sure that these cases have lipped fronts as normal TPUs do and that's a huge deal for me. If I'm wrong about either of these things, please feel free to correct me, but until Cruzerlite matches the sexiness of these cases with protection, then I won't be purchasing one.

Haven't seen the n4 case but on my SGS3 there is a nice lip above the screen and the buttons don't protrude at all. Even the camera bump is safe..

ArmorSuit white carbon fiber film back protector

It looks nice.
Tip: peel off the camera part and align with cam. Take your time and use your palm to sweep off bubble while peeling up the rest. I am lucky enough to get 100% successful installation.
Note: the material is made by 3M.

I bought their clear skin from Amazon but didn't see that. Did you buy it directly from their website?

I like the Skinomi brand CF (and other faux surface) skins better. I had the Skinomi Black Carbon Fiber skin on my Note I. It looks and fits really good, but it's still fairly slick and doesn't add much grip.

Are there any of those carbon fiber look foils available in Germany? I can't find any.

I wonder if anyone will make differnt backs, the whole thing pops off if u pry it

l 've got it, my review on it is posted as n-abler, easy to install, and pretty good pen feel. I'm using it with a black TPU case (closest we'll probably get to seeing a black note) it's not a bad look minus the cut-out for the buttons, overall a pretty decent buy, I'm happy with it.

[Q] Which strap ?

I have one of the sliver SMW2
I find the sony silver metal bracelet, to me rubbish
does not curl enough around my wrist to be fitted right, and if I take another link out it wont fit over my hand as the release catch only opens half as much as a regular watch strap
I have big hands but small wrists :/
I have this coming
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181266881...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
and the official sony black leather one too, tried to cancel that but was to late
but now I'm reading about these Nato straps ?

Just ordered the black and black & red straps from this seller.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221468144762&alt=web
Look quality.

Any idea if it will fit through the gaps between the watch and spring bars?

Judging by the looks of that tool I think an old electrical screwdriver I have lying around will suffice. Failing that a paper clip.

Better image, note notched end for pushing back the spring bar

Almost sure that it won't.

the gap is quite tight, this 1mm think fitted ok, could go a smige thicker, but a 1.5 will stand no chance

Where did you find the metal one that cheap???
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Recieved my strap this morning.
Ordered the black one.
The seller messaged me to tell me he was waiting for some material supplies, apologised & offered to refund or provide another half price so I snapped up the half price deal with a red & black strap.
Glad I did, the quality is excellent & the leather looks (and smells) really nice. Stitching is nice & the fit is perfect as when you order he requests the circumference of your wrist so it's a custom fit.
You was right, the strap would not fit with the stock spring bars but luckily the seller provides 2 slightly curved bars with each order which allowed the slightly thicker leather to fit snugly.

I have this nice mid brown Hirsch liberty on mine now
suits it well, back of strap is not the best as where ever it was store before O bought it was warm and dry so I had to give a treatment with dubbin, all good now.

Spigen Slim Armor

Awesome. I like that amazon has these for preorder. I don't think Spigen has even posted these on their website yet.
I've come to really like Spigen products, but Supcase is making waves lately too.

they are up now. kind of hard to decide though. I bought the thicker one for my note 3 and dont know if i want to go with the hybrid this time or....
Has anyone tried the hybrid? protect the device just as well? Ive dropped my note 3 in parking lots, smacked it against gym equipment, stepped on it at the gym lol, dropped on tile lol. still holding up with minimal ware and tear. Only visible issues are the hairline cracks everyone else is seeing.

I ordered this one too...I still have it for my note 3 and they are great. Protect the phone very well.

the hairline cracks go down the chrome plastic surrounding of the phone. Where the note 4 has metal, that was cracked. Nothing crazy but it was noticeable. I actually purchased the metal neo hybrid and the glass protector. First time trying one of these.

I had the Neo Hybrid for the Note 3 and hated it. While I loved the design, It had ZERO grip. It was always sliding out of my hand. I hope the new ones have a more tacky back now.
That Versus case looks nice and looks like the back might have a bit more grip.

holy hi res

i ordered one of the Verus. I'm hoping that the outside piece truly is Aluminum metal and not plastic made to resemble metal as in the Spegin Neo. DOnt get me wrong , I love the Spigen but I often found myself breaking the bumper ring when I was changing batteries. I always get extra batteries of whatever phone i have. Whether it was the GS3 (my dad), GS4 (my sister), GS5 (my gf), Note 3 (me).........now when I get the Note 4.
Wondering when Note 4 accessories, such as extra battery or spare battery kit (extra battery and spare battery charger) since the new battery is 3220 MaH.

Review- Poetic Affinity clear case came in..

Got my Poetic Affinity clear case a few days ago and so far I am loving it. The material is durable and the design looks sweet, finally a strong clear case. The volume and power buttons are easy to access and feel good to press. My favorite thing about this case is the rubber material around the front lip make it easy to grab. The power slot and head phone jack are all easy to get to as well and lined up well. I am coming from a diztronic case to this which I loved but the Poetic Affinity clear case is a tad bit bulkier but better protects your phone. I plan to keep this as a daily I just hope it does not turn yellow like most clear cases after a while of use.
GREAT job to the creators......

Tony,
I have the affinity case as well and I love it with my bamboo backing. Do you have a car mount that you use for this case that you recommend? Has anyone used a pro-clip universal mount with this case?

Good Review. The Poetic ppl are very nice. And they make a great case. Can't beat a clear case, built in bumper, not too bulky AT ALL. If I had to pick one negative, its the scratches on the plastic. It's not super visible but somewhat noticeable. All in all, its my favorite case rn

My only concern with certain clear cases is the discoloration that they get over time from dirt and dark clothing. Are the ridges down the back and the edges a silicone-rubber material?

My Incipio case has turned yellow/brownish after about a month and a half of use, do you know of a method to clean them?
I'm also considering switching over to this one, as the back is clear and has ridges for better grip.

How does this case compare to the ice uag case wish they made it for this phone and which one looks better in person the clear and black or all clear?

Got mine few days ago and can tell that this is the best case i have ever used in any of my devices.

Totally agree with you, it does indeed scratches easily, but the way the case looks and the protection its totally worth it
