Just upgraded from the Note 2 and disappointed to find out Momax did not make the same case that I been using for the 3.

Overall, any opinions on a case that has a kickstand and does portrait and landscape well?

I wish somebody knew. The VZW hard case has 2 way kickstand but fits so tight I broke my volume key taking it off. It also offers no protection on top or bottom only back and sides.

Amzer makes one but I can't find a single picture showing it in both portrait and landscape view.

Please help us find a good case!

The Aduro shell is the same one that broke my phone. Looks like VZW model. Nobody will confirm if reiko works in both orientations

I just purchased one. Hoping for the best! Thanks. The Amzer and Aduro are both the same as evil vzw case so i guess no other choices exist

I am concerned it will interfere with easy use of buttons but we'll see....

You mean like hard to press? If so not at all. It's 2 part case. Rubber inner and polycarbonate skeleton

I use the Trident Kraken AMS, and it has a solid metal kickstand that is also reversible. Also provides superior protection for my phone. I dropped it down 30 flights of stairs at the mall escalator, and not a scratch. It's pure quality.

Probably makes it too thick but I will check it out. Thanks.

Did you mean 30 stairs? 30 flights of stairs = 30 floors!

OK, I bought the Reiko Polymer Hybrid Kickstand Case. It is excellent, in fact I ordered a second one. Now...can anyone suggest a horizontal belt clip pouch that it will fit in? I have one Reiko pouch that isn't quite long enough and another that is so deep it is hard to get the phone out even though it is a perfect fit.

The phone in case is 6.3 x 3.25 x .6 inches. Anybody know a belt clip horizontal pouch it will fit in?

Do you see anyone's signature? Maybe your browser is weird.
Here's the direct link.

I still haven't found a manufactured case that I liked which has a good portrait kickstand.
But my DIY case does take a bit of work, patience and care.

Oh, I am very content with my reiko case now. I have seen your thread but did not make the connection. Now I am merely looking for a belt clip pouch to carry my note 3 in its case in. I have one pouch too small and another too large.
