Looking forward to that. I posted earlier about wanting to get that case. I previously had the one you linked that was for the Note II and it worked great. I don't recall losing GPS with it or signal strength. Just obviously lost NFC but I've been with NFC enabled phones for a while now and never really used it except to show off to my friends...so I don't care about losing that either.
So please do post your thoughts / pics when you get it. I'm interested in the fit and whether there is a noticeable loss of signal on this phone.
Mine came in the mail today and so far I like it a lot.
What I like:
I have never held an HTC One or one of the new iPhones made of metal, so I can't compare the feel to those, but in my opinion this anodized aluminum case feels awesome. It is very light, all of the buttons work, the cut outs are perfect, and the S Pen is easily accessible. My old case didn't fit right because of my glass screen protector, but this one went on just fine. The screen is lifted a few millimeters so I don't have to worry about putting the phone down on its face. It is very thin and maintains the slim profile of the Note 3, but still feels like my phone will be protected from bumps and drops. There is no cut out in the upper right corner for the TV antenna on the Korean models, so that's another plus. I have no loss of Wi-Fi reception.
What I don't like:
The case it's pretty slippery and I have to make sure I hold onto my phone with both hands. I already do this due to my smallish hands so it's not that big of a deal for me. The camera is not lifted like the screen, so I have to make sure I set my phone on something soft if I want to place it on its back. I did lose some reception (see pics) and my phone likes to switch between HSPA and LTE constantly (goodbye battery life), so I think that mod I posted earlier is in order.
Conclusion:
Some people don't like metal cases. That's fine. That's their opinion and I'm going to respect that. I don't like plastic, TPU, or rubber cases and using my phone naked is not an option so metal was my only option. I think this case is different and unique so I'm going to rock it for a few days with those holes and see how I like it.
Before case:
After case:
I'll grab some pictures of my phone in the case later tonight.
Edit- after cutting out the back plate to expose the antennas I saw little to no improvement, so it looks like it's back to my Cruzerlite experience case for now!
