What case do you use?

I use a Bodyglove clear case I got at my local T-Mobile store. It's actually a Vibrant case, but it's a perfect fit. It also has a kickstand, which I love (perfect for watching videos.)
Edit: This is the one I was talking about.

I have the body glove and love it... gives the phone a little more size and the rubber coating really provides grip, love the kick stand when I have to use the belt clip, but it's mostly in my pocket or on the desk.

Otterbox
I use an Otterbox case. Absolutely love it but I'll have to check out the body glove case.

Otterbox is the best case!

Same case. Love it.

I'm using a power-skin case. It charges my battery up to four times. Until I charge the power-skin up. So if my phone dies, it will keep my phone alive for 4 extra hours until I can charge it.

Otterbox = Best case ever!

SGP Ultra Slider Case!

Otter Box fits it perfectly love it

+1 To all the OtterBox lovers. It gives you the best of both worlds. Soft rubber inner lining so it don't scratch it like the plastic ones do, and a hard candy shell... mmmm... candyy... sorry got distracted. But even with the 2 layers it doesn't really add that much to the thickness of the phone. Perfectiona! I'm an Idiot.

I use Trident "Cyclops" Case, It is a awesome case for protection.

I run it naked no case lol

Otterbox Commuter - got an Otterbox for my old Blackberry and it saved it multiple times, wouldn't get anything less for this phone (and the case is awesome).

trident case
+1 on the trident case. when i got mine the guy at the store was repeatedly dropping his phone frm 8ft off the ground just to show the protection level. I would never recomend pushing your cases capabilities like this but none the less i was sold after that! U guys should check out there website (google trident cases) the KRAKEN is a beast!

Yes the Seidio cases will have kick stands apparently. Unfortunately for me, I love their phone cases without.

Thanks for your reply, I was wondering if there's anything already out, I know most phones have some cheap plastic stand cases and was wondering if they're available at least

Nothing yet in my searches recently. And Seidio IMO is the best kickstand available. But I would also want an option for a Surface or Active case without the kickstand. I have a tablet to view stuff. I have the Seidio Active case for my Senny and I use that case for travelling so it works out on flights, but other than that, I find no use in the kickstand.

Just an FYI; they usually produce a case right after their kickstand case without the kickstand. they did this for the GNex and I'm willing to bet they'll do this for the N4.

I hope you're right. Thanks for the info. I was starting to look elsewhere because I dislike the kick stand.
P.S. My only other wish is that we have the option of a non holster style cover. It makes it to bulky in a handbag & a lot of us girls have no use for the holster.

The Poetic case doesn't exactly have a "kickstand" but it will allow the same functionality.. semi-wallet too

you should check out your local service provider store, they sometimes have construction one size fits all phone cases. Ask for one of the double cases ( a soft case within a hard case) those are easy to put on and off and usually work pretty well.

recommendation for armband

do you have some recommendation for good armband at ebay ?

Not sure if it's available on eBay, but I got this from Amazon and it's great so far.

I'm using the Tune Belt model AB86. Fits my S4 fine even with my UAG case on it. Use it along with my Jaybirds BlueBuds X at the gym and when running outdoors. Have not had any issues with sweat soaking through. Great armband for the price in my opinion. I bought the Belkin one for the S4 but it was difficult use the buttons due to the way the armband is designed.

How worthy is the S-View cover?

I have a Puro black TPU case and i was thinking on buying an S-View cover but i was wondering if it's worthy to buy and use.
If anyone here has it please feel free to tell me your opinion

S-View are great cases if you dont mind having to hold it open like a book. If you play games there not the best.

The S View screen is actually a bit useful. Add my mod and you get music controls! (Shameless advertising)
However, whether it's worth it at the price is something else. I have a Samsung black one and it got scratched a bit easily (could be cause of the car mount though), and I'm tslking about the front side, the material is a bit torn in a way.
Take a look at the Spigen Slim View Armor, it's what I'm thinking of next.

Very worth it i love it I'm not worried about damaging the massive screen at all!

Not really worth the expensive pricetag. Doesn't offer protection. The s view window thing is quite cool though

If you are using TW roms you will love it. It works really well with calls (answering without opening the cover and really protects your screen scratches in your pocket etc. It is also more likely to prevent a screen crack after a drop that a case without any from cover (even with a screen protector on) withou affecting the size of the device that much. It does make your s4 feel a little larger (the back is not as thin as the stock cover. On the other hand have its own back cover means that it doesnt really matter if it gets scratched.
The downside is that is leaves the corners and sides unprotected which can scratch quite easily.
I've been using it since the day i bought my s4 and i love it. Am now using it on PAC ROM using s-view hatdroid app from playstore. (which works better that expected and has music support for apollo) and i can even answer calls like TW roms by enabling glove mode.

Spigen Slim Armor View all the way. Buy directly from Spigen... anywhere else its a 99% chance you get a knockoff. Learned that the hard way.
I love the screen protection it provides. And I love S View. Makes it great to just glance at the time, answer calls, snooze the alarm, etc without opening the case. And it seems the case provides very good protection without much bulk.

Hey, i just posted this in its own thread..but i picked up an S-view at Tiger Direct for 29.99...had it marked on the shelf from 59.99.
I didnt think it was worth it for $60, but for $30 i figured what the hell.

Does the S View cover have a magnet? Or just like the Samsung Flip Cover which is utterly meaningless?

I've had the Spigen Slim Armor View case since it came out, and I haven't had any problems with it so far. I even have the wireless mod inside the back cover, and it still fits over it without any problems.

Its a great case if you can get it cheap, just make sure you don't order a fake one, like I did first time round

I have it and love it! I don't really use it for protection, but more for style

It does have a magnet but only to lit up the screen when the cover is open not to retain the cover close.
