Having bought my first note and seeing as it's a pretty looking thing I was dubious about getting a case, not only because it'd ruin the aesthetics of the device but it'd make it even bigger.
That being said I did find some which keep some of the aesthetics and provide some decent protection.

£8.99 clear glass, anti dust case, my personal favourite, just hope it doesn't go nicotine yellow.

£7.99 Spigen air case, dimpled back, not the prettiest but it has the curves where the note 4 has them.

£1.29 Pack of five bog standard screen protectors, for some reason the p+p is £1.95p ?? Meaning you pay more to get it to you than you do to buy it? Strange people.
Anyway, this is all next day delivery so i'll pop a screen shot on to show what they're like.
What cases are you guys using? Should I have got something else?
I wonder if HunterF will be doing one for the Note 4, that'd be the one i'd want over all.
most of the time naked. no screen protector, sometimes i put on my s view cover, spigen neo hybrid or original samsung case. but no screen protector. For me this is not an iphone that easily scratched.

Definitely. I have both and my ip6+ screen scratched from top but nothing
Happened to note4. Both devices are in seperate pockets with nothing else. Therefore what i say is definitely true in my case.
I wish I had the bold confidence of anyone that dares to go bare with this phone. I'm not taking any chances, I have a screen protector(just a cheap plastic one for now till they sort out the glass designs) and a Tech 21 case on it.
At the moment i'm awaiting my protection, I simply don't have the balls to go without, if I had to I could buy another one but I'd rather not.
Plus the case's i've picked look decent, obviously not as good as without but I'll bet it bounces better should I drop it.

For the love of god its only a phone that will be obsolete in a few years. A screen protector and heavy-duty case are overkill IMO.

Yeah, its only an $800 phone that costs a lot to fix if you drop it & shatter the screen. How silly for anyone to want to protect their expensive items from wear and damage
Overkill or not, I think it's much wiser to get a nice-looking case & a screen protector than let your expensive phone get all dinged up and look like s**t, but to each their own I guess.

If he's got money to blow then fair enough, sure I could buy another too but I'd prefer not to throw money away either.
I found with the Ringke Slim case I got scratches on the aluminium edges. Not sure if it was the phone or the case. I am now considering getting a new case but am not sure.
The neo hybrid scratched my bezel a little but, due to it being slightly loose on the edges, I have a ice Uag fits tight as hell, which you would think removing an applying it would scratch the bezel but no, no new scratches since I got the Uag case regardless of how tight the case fits. And I mean TIGHT.
Also any tempered glass screen protector that fits this new screen, without the halo effect by some of the more known and expensive brands, fit like ass.
I wonder if HunterF will be doing one for the Note 4, that'd be the one i'd want over all.[/QUOTE]
Wow that's extremely nice. I like the the UAG cases also. But I don't have any right now. Using it with just a screen protector. I always seem to run caseless at some point with every phone I've had, typically using a case within the first 6 months or so. I seem to be going backwards with this one lol

BTW the Thread read "Cases! Screen protectors! OR Naked!!"
I love the feel of the phone naked. But I am too scared to use it naked out of the house so naked at home fully clothed out in the streets.

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.

I bought à gold frame to use with it
Looks gorgeous with the back leather but its doing some serious damage on the corners
I am currently using the orzly FlexiCase, but I am looking for something even thinner, and especially with a lower profile on the front bezel that protects the screen.
Think Spigen’s AirSkin for the iPhone. Does anyone know of such a case for the OnePlus 3?
I guess my ideal case would be thick enough on the back to perhaps cover the camera bump, but really thin on the sides and front.
I would be interested in the same thing.
I have bought some no-name cheap case with those attributes, but I'm willing to invest in a more expensive one as long as it is tiny.

Pleson clear case is the thinnest I've tried, from amazon
do the buttons have 'cut outs' or are they covered with plastic?

From what I am seeing up till now, I think the nillkin might be exactly what I am looking for. Can I ask where did you order it from?
Another question I have is for that "watermark" on the back. Is that a print or is it carved/embossed?
I really would have prefered no logos at all as I find they ruin the looks of the phone.

Ah that's great!
i got the spigen one for approx $13 in India.
It might not be the thinnest but it unique. This is why:
It has hard plastic on the back with softer TPU on the sides and is completely transparent. It also air cushions in the corners for bump protection.
The lips on the front are adequate for the screen and on the back are enough to protect the camera bump.
I was using an Orzly FlexiCase.
I have just received another transparent flexi case bought on ebay and it is great!!
Slimmer than Orzly, it protects both camera and screen.

yeah you're right. my brother had one on his old oneplus x. The protection wasn´t very good.

The plastic shell on the back are like rubbery. It gives you a very good feeling when holding your phone

Aren't they too big for you? I bought Rosewood Case just because it's stylish and slim in the same time. Strong "armours" are great, but they lack in overall appearance of the phone. And even while phone by itself is minimalistic, in case looks like Nokia 3310
But yeah, it's a matter of preferences. I understand yours.

The Case is not too big. It's not an Bullet proof Case.
For me it's perfect and the feeling is much better than with the original Case for me
But everybody have to decide by themself which protection is the best for them
PS: i know the name at Amazon for my case is a little bit strange. It says heavy duty and extreme protection but it's like an normal protection.
But as I said before everyone should buy only one Case which are perfect for themself
I plan on using this.

Yes, the "free" bundled case provided in the box with the phone is loose for everyone. Better to purchase a sturdy case.
yea just use it temp today , so crappy and the bezel doesnt even cover the glass , use with caution , lol

Yes the bundled case is nowhere good for protection, best to buy either a shock proof hard case or a rubber carbon soft case from Amazon or Flipkart, check review first though

Sad to hear that. Plz invest in good back case and tempered glass. Those back case provided are of no use except for better grip.
