Recommend me a case

I am a casual user. I want a case that is well-built, will last long, gives adequate protection, yet does not add much bulk. Originally, I liked the Neo Hybrid, but after some more research, I read that it is not very well-built as the outer layer breaks at the USB cable port.
I don't usually drop my phone, but it happens. I'd like the case to be aesthetically pleasing too.
Thanks.
Also, what case colors would go well with a black S4?

I too was disappointed with the neo hybrid. The style is awesome but with it breaking at the thin spot above the USB port and the color flaking off is a big issue. Sad too that the customer service is one of the worst in the industry.
I have been looking for something like it but haven't made my mind up yet.

grangth the
I'm using the samsung protective cover + now. I like the way it feels in the hand a lot more than the neo hybrid case

I have the spigen slim aromor and its awesome!! I just got a poetic atmosphere from Amazon and will be rocking that for a while!!
It was 9 bucks, super thin and has a nice lip for face down screen protection. Looks sick on my white s4!!

I'm on the hunt as well. I might still get the NEO though. I've only seen a couple people complain about the brake point and you never know how hard people are on there phones.
The others I'm thinking about:
UAG - Might be too bulky and "industrial" looking though. Has reviews on xda.
supcase - I'm not sure if I like the style, but I don't think it will be very bulky. Has reviews on xda.
puregear dualtek - I think the fat corners might be too bulky on this one, but gets good-ish reviews on amazon
obliq xtreme pro - kinda like a mix of the spigen armor and the uag.... still might be too industrial for me though. Has reviews on xda.
acase Acase makes some decent stuff for the price... I've owned an acase before for a tablet. This kinda looks like an incipio clone.
cruzerlite - cheap and has good amazon reviews.... might have reviews on xda... I can't remember.
I'm very much leaning towards the NEO. I'll buy it w/ a credit card (credit cards add a year extension to your warranty, did you know that?) through amazon. If I have any issues w/ it and spigen doesn't respond, I'll go through those channels (which are pretty fast).
If there is a spigen father's day sale this weekend... I'll get the NEO... otherwise I may not.
Whats your thoughts?

Yea the neo hybrid is very nice I have it on my phone. I was gonna get an otterbox but it added way to much bulk.

I have a UAG and love it. Had one for my s3, iPhone 5, and now for my s4. Every one has been better than the one before.
Their customer service is awesome as well. I'll probably a customer for life. :thumbup:

If you want no bulk, you can go for PARFITI case.
Tunewear also gets some slim cases.
see what colors you want.
I am more into eye catching color. So I have ordered one from PARFITI. Awaiting to it

Go for a UAG case, they are awesome protection and don't add too much bulk. The Spigen cases look nice (slim armor and neo hybrid) but I don't think they offer much protection against drops. I have the Slim Armor and never used it as I feel I will crack my screen if I drop my phone screen first. Uag highly recommended by me

I think people are obsessed with protection.
I just received the Neo Hybrid and it seems to be a perfect armor. At least, for a daily protection. Actually, for me it's too thick: the bumper is like 3mm while in the front and back it's just 0,8mm, which is perfect because it makes the screen and the camera not to touch any surface.

try on of them in the list at the link.. Otter are very good case company their case comes

Are there keyboard flip cases out there?

just posted this in its own thread but you should check it out

I originally bought the Neo Hybrid myself, and I really liked the looks and size, but the one fault I couldn't look over was that it didn't fit my favorite gym headphones. I would've kept the case if it wasn't for that.
I went with the Slim Armor. It adds slightly more bulk thickness wise, but it's actually a little less wide. Not sure if it was because of the color combination of the Neo Hybrid (dante red), but the Slim Armor (metal slate) actually looks smaller.

Colors of Spigen Neo Hybrid!

OK so I'm getting my s4 in the next week or so. Its gonna be white. TPU cases (especially the cheap S cases on ebay) have never failed me, I have a slim tpu one on my current s3. I've been eyeing the neo hybrid spigen cases, but most photos are with black s3. I wanna see how they would look on a white one. Please post picks if u have em, and send any other suggestions my way. I don't want my phone to crack if dropped but I don't want no Defender either, just slim, great looking protection, and the more tpu involved the better
Thanks!

Not sure if you have noticed... But... XDA is not google.
Google D30 Galaxy S4 case. Those offer exceptional protection for the size.

Just what I needed! I hate to request more, but can you take some photos from different angles with the same seigo cases and phone, especially under white rather than yellow light?
Either way, Thanks a ton, appreciate it.

Looks ugly. Don't get it. Not sure what everyone's fascination with this boring case is, it's mind boggling.
I'd recommend the Verus Oneye case for a white phone. Specifically the white one.

To be completely honest my UAG is much more comfortable to hold than my Neo Hybrid. The Neo Hybrid keeps it really slim but adds quite a bit of width to the phone. UAG looks bulkier than it really is in pictures, it's actually surprisingly slim and provides a lot of protection.
The small charging/headphone port on the Neo Hybrid can be frustrating at times but not a huge deal. I personally think the Neo Hybrid is a beautiful case but I find myself using the UAG as my daily.

That doesn't look like the official neo hybrid. Yours is much too fat, so most likely a knock off. The one I have is much slimmer than that and almost fits flush with the camera on the back (directly from spigen). Even my knock off is slim like my real one. The frame on yours is way too thick also. And the mic hole on yours is too large
I do like my spigen Neo hybrid I have two official frames for it and one fake in green with another fake coming in blue. The things I don't like about the neo hybrid is the width it adds to your phone (makes it seem a little bulky) and the headphone jack is small, but I bought an adapter to make my shure se215 work with it. I hear the spigen slim armor case has a little better feel than the neo hybrid but I don't have any experience with it.

cases are totally subjective, and lmao that oneye or w/e it is is not much different than a Spigen, just bulkier which I don't want

Also, OP, if you are looking for a good case that is cheap Zoogue is having a sale over at tanga (https://www.tanga.com/deals/d284984d31/zoogue-galaxy-s4-social-case) for $2.99 and $1 shipping. It is a TPU case. I might be picking one up because I have only heard good things about them. Here is a video I found for the S4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZo1SIyNeVU & http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSmcfnREiyM)

Note 4 Cases for Females

Trying to get some ideas of cases that ladies would like. Any help would be appreciated.

Body glove satin pink or charcoal grey would be nice for a female...it's a super slim attractive case and att has it in stock. ..you can check it out at this website although they have no stock http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/cell-phone-cases/samsung/galaxy-note-4/satin/?scheme_id=404

That's not bad at all. Much appreciated.

I'm getting this one for every day use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N174VAE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I've got this one on order for occasions when I don't want to carry a separate wallet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NL5WOP0/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AWSTL9OR9CVRW
I tried using the flip covers for a while, but it was just annoying after a while. I like slim cases that allows my phones to still fit my back jeans pocket.

Here are a few:
Samsung S-View Flip Cover in red or white
Case Thin Fit by Spigen in white or mint
Case Mate Sheer Glam Case
Ringke Slim by Rearth
Incipio Highland in light silver/white (the pink is rather ugly imo)
The Octane Frost/Neon Pink looks much better

Saw these on OtterBox.

I got a few friends with the bodyglove, I'm not impressed with it for some reason when holding it in my hands. Maybe it's just me.
I think a girl with little hands would like slim cases over bulky ones. The note is already a big phone, add a bulky case and you have a brick... I too would recommend the Ringke Slim case. I have the white case on white phone. Putting them together looks super clean and nice, might be a little too girly for me that's why I'm getting a new case to switch off sometimes.

Bodyglove has many types of cases I'm sure your friends don't have the Bodyglove satin, other bodyglove cases can seem bulky....but the satin gives you protection, slimmness,and a fashionable design...

I didn't mean to say the bodyglove satin is bulky, was just saying in general I prefer slimmer cases to bulky cases. And yes my friends do have the satin cases, not for their note 4s though, but for the G3, iPhones, M8 etc. but they are all pretty much the same, made of this bendable rubbery or gel like material, which I'm not a fan of. Personally I don't like the look of it. But Good thing about it is that it's slim and has superb grip. Other people may have positive opinions of them which is completely fine. If op would like to try out another type of slim case with more color options, I'd recommend checking out the ringke slim for less than half the cost of the bodyglove. She can buy 2 different colors and still have some change left over.

ooh thanks for the suggestions the Case Mate Sheer Glam Case is divine! I like the Incipio Highland too!

Shop-leather has some nice looking wallet cases with wrist straps. They are expensive though and ship times are looong.

Can anyone verify if the casemate sheer glam case covers the bottom mic hole for the verizon version ? if you don't have the verizon version if the microphone hole cutout on the bottom left gives exposure to about 3mm more left that would answer my question as well. also have you noticed yellowing where you hold the phone on the case? thanks

I'm using the original Samsung case in red, none of those awfull pink cases for me thank you... [emoji39]

Rugged Case for Galaxy Note 4

I have the Galaxy Note 4, I love outdoor activities and I bring the Galaxy Note 4 with me always, I have the Rugged Case for Galaxy Note 4, i-Blason Armorbox Dual Layer Hybrid Full-body Protective Case to protect my phone from bumps and other accidental drop when I do some activities, and it serves me well, I wonder if what are other alternatives for it, I would love to have one but reluctant to buy other brands, any recommendation based on your personal experience?

I dunno where you got that info from. I've had the defender on mine since day one and no problems with it at all.

I don't know how you guys can put such an ugly bulky case on something so beautiful. Trust me, I'm all about protection, I've never cracked a phone before (*knock on wood*) but I feel like putting something like this iBlason case or the traditional OtterBox just covers up the true beauty of the phone. I usually go with a Spigen case (good protection, yet not as bulky). This time around I'm going for the Ringke Slim case with a wrist strap.

I understand where you're coming from and I too find the Ringke slim case exceptional in terms of looks and minor protection. But after using it for a whole month, I finally caved in and ordered an Otterbox Defender. I just don't want to be afraid of damaging my phone. Being able to use it with an extra peace of mind is worth sacrificing the appearance in my opinion. After all, you can always take it out of the case and it'll still be the beautiful, slim phone you purchased. But each to their own, I can only speak for myself.

Is Tech Armor for rugged case a good buy?

I have the UAG and the Otterbox Defender for mine. I used a UAG on my Note 2 for 2 years and was completely satisfied and feel that it is a solid case. However, I like the amount of protection the Otterbox Defender gives and I also like the way it adds some bulk to the phone. It seems easier to hold.
That being said, it does not fit well in my pocket and I've actually started using a belt clip (included with the case) for the first time. The belt clip also doubles as a stand for your phone when you are charging it.

Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal

How do you like the neo hybrid. I ordered the same one. Is the rubber really soft or is it a firm rubber that won't really stick in your pocket?

Galaxy S6 Edge Plus Case, Spigen® [Thin Fit] Exact-Fit [Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case for Galaxy S6 Edge+
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen®-Exact-Fit-Premium-Finish/dp/B010MWDDF4

God I was hoping iwouldbt see this. You do realize when you say "sexy" in reference to a phone case it immediatelymakes me think of glasses and a pocket protector right? How about cases are not sexy....ugh

This is the Black Otter Box Symmetry
Dont really like it. The power button is sort of hard to press, and the bottom ports are not covered.
However it does fit snug, and feels good in the hand. Edge screens are fully in view, and easy to access.

I'm waiting for the clear case to arrive next week. The only way to show off its attractive, premium design.

One of the BEST cases (maybe it is actually the best)
After shopping around almost all day yesterday and checking out a lot of cases I have
found that only one case meets my requirements.
I wanted good protection but did not want the case to look like it's made for a war zone!
The other cases were either flimsy, hardly any real protection and some of them were not precision enough
to allow the usb cable to plug into the phone easily without having to wiggle/jiggle the usb cable connector.
Also I did not want to get a two piece case which adds a lot of bulk without adding a lot of extra protection.
So finally I found this Otter Semmetery case which alleviated all my concerns. ($49.95)
This Otter case does not interfere with the phone's Edge panel at all, not even
slighty. (which was not the case when checking out a lot of the other cases.)
It's a one piece case but it is a lot sturdier than any of the two piece cases I checked out.
The material it's made out of is not the easily bendable TPU but it's no where near as stiff
as the hard plastic cases. It's somewhere around half as flexible when compared to the TPU.
Another plus is that the inside of the case feels like it has a soft rubber coating.
Here are some pictures of the case:
Have a great day!
