I had my note 2 in a pouch that covered the entire phone, but after a year of use I did see two tiny scratches. Only visible at certain angles with the screen turned off.

This is my third note 3. First two phones were defective right from the box. So I am super paranoid now and want a case and screen protector

Sorry about all the issues you have had with your Note 3 already. At least you didn't give up on it and have a good device now.

Just pull of that lousy SP, that is the 1st thing I do when I received my defender case. ;)

Sometimes people need to have it on, like I work as a Project Manager on a construction site and I need something on it otherwise it's going to get screwed up :(.

If you can test out the navigation at some point, I'd really appreciate it. Really like the way that looks, but have held off simply due to my using Nav all the time and having concerns about any cases/back covers that affect the use of nav (like the simple chrome plated back cover did for me).
Just try out.

No issue on any signal include GPS. ;)

I decided on the iloome Flex Mate at $ 16.99 direct with shipping because Spigen Glass TR was $40 and it sounds difficult to lift off if you mess up placing it on the screen. Love Seido cases in the past very durable solid color through the plastic and no metal to interfere with emf. The surface case has lip edge for flat face down drops which i have done maybe 2-3 times in the last year.

I will let you over time if this screen protector holds up and the ease of installation for the money . I was going to purchase the Flex Mate from Amazon but it didn't qualify for free shipping. I ordered from iloomne direct and low and behold Amazon does the fulfillment of the order.

Thanks again for all great info on this forum:)

Not sure if anybody posted, but thought this was the most unique, but truly protective S-View case that I've seen on the market.

For all of you Otterbox fans, this looks like it could be a possible consideration as an alternate:

Galaxy Note 3 Case Slim Armor View - Galaxy Note 3 - Galaxy Note - Samsung - Brands | Spigen

SGP has them on sale right now for $46. Too bulky for my tastes, but if I didn't mind having a bulky case, I'd highly consider this one.

Finally! my UAG - Navigator case is came! :D :D :D

Short Review:
  • The finish is extremely well done!
  • Nice to hold, non-slip at all!
  • Well done button holding part, the best cut out I ever seen.
  • Elegance Look!
  • No finger magnet!
  • Feel strong hold and not heavy and in nice thickness size.
  • Came with extra screen protector.
  • 3rd hole is confirm there already.
  • The best case I ever have for my Note 3, this will be my 1st favor case now.

Caution:
  • I should pick others color, the white is nice but it might easier get dirt due to the surface finish.
