yep, i did. its more like a whole platform issue, any app i open the sound wont play, only calling ringtone and notification tone has sound, app sound none. those sounds categorized as "media" doesn't have sound, weird right?

Happened to me once around two weeks ago, after reboot everything is ok. Not sure whats the caused. Perhaps software bugs.

Does the gold feel like a slightly rubbery coating?  How does the gold edge feel like?
*
Feels good actually, the whole case fits perfectly, definitely improves the handling.

Hi Bro..very nice casing....Can you measure the overall thickness of the casing? Is it hard to push in USB3.0 cable?
*
Just a little bit thicker, but the camera area now a little bit sink inside, which is good. About USB 3.0 cable, only samsung's original one will fit, normal hdd 3.0 cable can't be fit in. However no big deal actually, still can use other usb2.0 cable.

Just came back from Samsung SC at Federal Highway, try to replace my loose button. They not allowing it, said it is normal, even show me another unit that have same loose button.

Not super loose, but not tight either, got play a bit. I think can live with that.

Yeah thats the link, thanks for helping out.

The deal is very reasonable. rclxms.gif except if i were to be very cerewet the free 150mb is very little but thats ok, my 5gb surfmore plan still got plenty to use. plus most of the time im on wifi connection.

The highlight of the deal is the RM10 per month instead of the usual RM14 that Spotify charge for its services. The extra 150MB is just icing on the cake  rclxms.gif

Otterbox Commuter for Note 3!

Got notified by Malaysia's official Otterbox distributor, KWS Distribution Sdn Bhd the arrival of this case today, straight arrange to COD at their office. Even on Otterbox Asia website this casing is still not listed yet (on Otterbox main website it listed as preorder). Way better case compared to Commuter for Note 2 previously, the button is more clickable and overall look and feel is much better! Only got black color in stock for both Commuter and Defender case for now, the distributor is in process of distributing the case to the shops which should be on sale by next week.

Price RM 179 (I forgot to ask Defender case price), more pix to follow:

All jacks and usb port got flap to close, and camera area is recessed, very nice case overall altho not too fancy and slim. My hunt for great case for my note 3 is finally over rclxms.gif

Nice case you got there, thank you for the impression photos.

Just some questions, I love the otterbox brand especially the defender series since note 2.
Based on your experience, is the commuter series sufficient for everyday use or have you any second thoughts on the defender?

Btw, any place to recommend in getting the commuter?
*
Been using commuter for note 2 before, and have friend using defender for note 2 as well. For me commuter is enough for full blown protection (minus dust resistance unlike defender case), and i do found defender case is way to big for my liking. I have chance to hold defender case for note 3 last night, not as big as defender note 2, but size wise commuter is better for me.

After my short review of Otterbox Commuter for Note 3 posted here, I went back to the distributor office with my brother x3kiwi to get Otterbox Defender.

What can I say, I accidently fall in love with Defender case. So I grab one, while my brother is getting two Defender cases (one for his gf).

It's a bit bigger case than Commuter, but way smaller than Defender for Note 2. It's actually as same size as Commuter for Note 2. Everything seal perfectly, and this case I think can get beating in any enviroment (minus underwater).

BTW if anyone want to get Defender case in cheaper price than retail price (retail will be RM219), you can PM x3kiwi, apparently his gf want to stick wither her Sview case. I don't think he opened sale thread yet. Or he if didn't reply, you can PM me as well, I'll let him know and contact you.

Now the pictures:

Commuter look nice. This defender...errr..  Too fat for my liking.

Extreme bulky, such design sure can crazy protecting the phone itself.

It same size as my previous Commuter for note 2, so its ok for me rclxms.gif

Not really, can fit nicely actually, but then again I'm a big person, so... biggrin.gif

It is has outer rubber layer just like other Defender case for other phone. Bought this from KWS Distributor, but if you want you can get it from my brother for RM180, he just opened his sales thread here.
