Just got the Gooseberry Leather Flip cover from Mercury for my S4. It looks premium, goes nicely with my other leather accessories. So if you're using an S4 and want to cover the whole plastic it has, this case is meant for you. It's too early to judge the leather quality but for some quick touch, it feels smoothly great in my hands. The sewing line is tidy and firm, just like other premium leather stuffs would have.
The inside plastic piece, which is to hold the S4, is well done with clean cuts with no ingot. It sticks to the leather case and fixes the device firmly.
My previous case was the Neo Hybrid which didnt add much bulk to the S4 and I'm so used to it. So switching to this case, I had to spend a day or two to get used to it. I would say it adds double bulk, compared to my previous case, when closed. Thus, I find myself carrying the phone more often than before.
Here are some more pics:

Thoughts on a non-metal bumper "case"?

What do you guys think about something like this for the Note 4?

I already have a screen protector on it and I figure with the back, it's replaceable in a worst case scenario!
Would this type of bumper be any good? More than anything I think it would just provide lips so that I could place it down on a table without worrying about scratching...

And there are a view different kinds, like this clear one (which is also "hard TPU")

I have a different bumper case; it's TPU but the openings look very similar to the one's linked. IMO, these cases shouldn't be considered ideal for drop protection. I've looked and the camera bezel protection is nil; maybe some protection, if dropped on a flat surface. Not confident in that but sitting on a flat surface may be OK.
I just use it around the house or quick outings. I just don't plan on dropping this phone with this case but that's a risk. The case seems sure to grip in my hand holding and transferring to and from my belt mounted pouch; feels lighter, slimmer and easier on/off as well as holding in landscape view. My 2¢.

Nillkin Armor-Border Series Phone Case Cover For Samsung GALAXY Note 4

[Guide] Make a cool custom back case (Pic Included)

Here's the deal,
Things that you'll need:
1) A transparent back case.
here are a few links:

http://www.amazon.com/Trianium-Resistant-Seamless-integrated-Shock-Absorbing/dp/B00UGQZOUY/ref=sr_1_14?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1439888536&sr=1-14&keywords=galaxy+s6
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen%C2%AE-Hybrid-CUSHION-Crystal/dp/B00QU4PN84/ref=pd_sim_107_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=04MV7PY88HT4HAZ1ZFRP
In short you need a basic transparent back case, I use the Spigen Ultra-Hybrid Gunmetal.
2) You need a cutout for the back, there are multiple ways of doing it. If you buy a ringke fusion you get a cutout for free. If you dont like it, you can make it yourself. Place the phone on a white paper, outline the case using a pencil. Cut along the outline. you can leave a little space and cut along depending how thick your bumper is. Now place the cutout in the case and see if you need any adjustments. Similarly make a camera viewport cutout. Now you should have piece of paper that exactly fits into the case.
3) Take a good printout of whatever you want to show off and using the cutout you made as a reference, make the printed cutout you want in your case.
4) Voila! you are done. If you do it precisely you should have a flawless custom made back case. Mine almost looks like it is printed on the polycarbonate back.
Here's a Naruto one I made for myself:

(Review) POETIC Affinity Series Hybrid PC/TPU Case for the LG v10

Been rocking this case for a couple days now and It's pretty great. The clear parts are a hard PC/plastic, and the frosted parts are TPU. It is molded together well and there are no visible seams to be found. TPU is not too soft or too hard, it provides a decent amount of grip, but lets face t, short of a rubber, lint collecting case, the material is not going to pride the grip as much as the design. Thats where this falls. The tpu on the back of the case provides a ridge for your finger to snag when holding. This provides grip without being bulky.
The sides are low on the front making it easy to swipe, especially with a glass screen protector. The top and bottom of the front are raised and keep your screen off the surface when laid face down.
Overall, I would have probably went with the black/clear version with my black phone, and clear/frost with a white phone, so I may pick up another.
Zero issues with the fingerprint scanner after 5.1.1 update on verizon.
Best part is its only $14.95 for a case with premium feel and good protection. All without the bulk.

Great match on color of burgandy S22 ultra. Great feel in hand and no slip. Sturdy. Comes with warranty. I ordered about 6 different cases. This one protects the screen with raised edges more than others. Only one that felt close (felt great in hand) was the BWY. Not enough protection on sides of screen for me.
This case provides ample protection for an S22 Ultra from all angles. The corners are heavily reinforced, with great drop protection and there’s raised protection at the top and bottom of the screen. The rear camera lenses are recessed a good distance from the back of the case providing good protection there too. Overall, this case is a good choice for protecting an expensive, top of the line smartphone. The retractable stand on the back of the case can be used to have the phone stand vertically or horizontally for watching videos or making video calls.
