So do Japanese phones. I'm using a Remax case I got on day 1 for 35 as interim protection. This is probably the same one that cubixshoppe will give you guys. It has the antenna hole too but it still covers the entire bezel. I don't see how a drop even at that corner will have a real problem unless you dropped it from at least 6 feet. Probably only an Otterbox will save you then.

My phone was dropped at between waist and pocket height. Drop on to the red brick kinda floor. Lol the bezel paint chipped. The faux leather looks like some small kid chewed on his pencil like that. It chips Seems that the force is strong with the Note...

HTC QUality Samsung : If you compare build material...yes htc uses a more premium feeling material. I don't think you can project choice of build material onto build quality. I have been reading the htc one thread. I feel sorry that the local distributor is giving such awful service and the recent posts all seem to be about out-of-box build issues and the difficulty in getting a replacement .....

QUOTE(cskean @ Sep 29 2013, 01:29 AM) Bought mine at ViewNet, Samsung Class 10 UHS1 64GB @ RM219. About a week ago before the actual launching day for Note3... I think that time Sandisk C10 64GB is around Rm175, but seeing plenty of ppl complaining Sandisk, so I opted for Samsung... Sandisk has probably fixed this issue, since there are no more recent reports of failure. I bought mine in Dec 2012 and it's still running fine. I got a Kingston 64GB Class 10 as well, still holding up. The concern with Samsung is that I don't know who's the local distributor. It will help if anyone can shed light on this.

If you were using a USB 2 cable, it will take some force to completely insert the plug into the port. If you didn't, it won't even charge. Then again please use the Galaxy Charging Current app to measure your incoming current. I got the paid version for only $0.67. Anything less than 1200 means either your cable is not capable of 2A or it is faulty. Swap cables around.

Since you are an android lover, why do you choose Note Series? Why not Nexus or Sony or HTC? Do you use S-pen so often? Actually I asked this to convince myself to get Note 3 instead of other phones. But I really don't like having the same phone with all people around me, and I know I will not use the S-pen regularly because I had owned Note 2 before. And I don't see any other high-end android phone that can beat Note 3 for now. LG G Pro then if you don't use the s pen. Totally different but looks the same. Looks is a non functional requirement.
