After a long wait, I finally get the SUPCASE unicorn beetle case for my Galaxy S4. It is a really nice case. In my opinions, it is much better than SPECK CandyShell case.
First of all, this case has a really cool design. It is a hybrid case (one piece case). The back of this case is made of hard plastic with matte finish. The surrounding is made of soft TPU. I believe that it gives a good protection for my S4. The color combination is amazing. I really like the metal strip with the SUPCASE logo engraved on the back of the case. Cutouts are precise. The power and volume button is easy to press. Compared to CandyShell case, this one is much easy to install and remove. It is a pain to take my S4 out of SPECK CandyShell case.
Overall, it is very nice case. Much better than the $35 Speck CandyShell Case.
Dude, the yellow case looks awesome!
Yeah... I was thinking the same thing

I bought my S4 with a Ballistic Aspire case, and it's done a fantastic job for the last two months protecting my phone. But after my phone took a disgusting fall on my garage floor, I'm starting to think a hard plastic case might not be a bad idea.
My question is: Is the OtterBox Commuter a worthy upgrade from my current case or am I better off saving the money?
Product pages for each case are below:

http://www.otterbox.com/Galaxy-S4-Commuter-Series-Case/sam4-galaxy-s4,default,pd.html
Wouldnt the hard plastic just transfer all the force to the phone?
The hard plastic has a tough silicone membrane in between it and the phone which absorbs the impact. I have the commuter and the uag case. I think the uag will protect better bc it's got reinforced corners which when you drop a phone it hits the most but I do like the color choices of the otter box. I'm a case hoard and just bought the element eclipse case so I will be selling my black uag and green/black commuter combo. Pm me if interested.

Otterbox has a case replacement guantee that i like.
If u trying to keep ur phone slim then keep the one u got. The commuter case is huge but it adds alot more protection then the ballistic case

Seems that it's pretty common for people to buy multiple cases, so I was wondering which ones you've purchased and which one is your favorite?
I have 3 cases.....
Spigen Neo-Hybrid .....(Good looking, good edge protection, heart rate sensor very difficult to use)
UAG Aero .....(Great protection all around, uncomfortable to hold and bulky in pocket)
Diztronic TPU black .....(Bland, moderate protection, slim and feels good in the hands)
I have to say, I prefer the Diztronic. It's the lowest profile of the three, and is the most comfortable to hold. Of course it doesn't offer the good looks of the Spigen, or the ruggedness of the UAG, but it's the one I'm rolling with for now. I have a Samsung protective cover coming Monday, so I'll have to see how that one goes before declaring Diztronic the winner.

Cases I have or have tried:
Spigen Neo hybrid
Spigen Air cushioned bumper
Spigen Tough armor
Spigen Slim armor
Verus Iron shield
Verus Crystalmixx
Body glove satin tpu
Otterbox commuter
Caseology bumper frame
Slim armor for me. Most comfortable to hold, looks good, has kickstand and offers good protection. Not for everyone, but it for the bill for me. Between that and a Caseology carbon fiber bumper case.

I have 4 cases. Ringke fusion in clear, spigen capsule, terrapin tpu and just got the caseology tpu drop protection. I like the caseology most, just wish the buttons are covered then it would have been perfect for me. Don't really like bulky cases. Oh yeah I bought the spigen new Capella and end up returning it. That thing is too bulky and buttons are hard to press not to mention it scratch my phone, it was hard to get my phone in and out. Regret putting my phone in it.
I have two cases - the black Diztronic and a blue Samsung Protective Cover. I use the Samsung because: it looks better; it feels better in my hand; and the Diztronic tended to get oily fingerprints on it. I really like the Samsung case and will stick with it.

How is the caseology tpu as far as finish? Is it gloss or matte? Stiffer like the spigens or soft like a jelly cover? Thanks in advance.

I currently have:
Ringke Fusion
Spigen Capsule
Spigen Neo Hybrid
Spigen Slim Armour
I-Blason Unity Series case
Overall I think I like the Spigen Capsule the most. The grey color is nice and it's slim but offers decent protection. The Spigen Slim Armour is one if the thicker cases but feels great in the hand due to the sides being rounded off.I suspect my favorite case will be the Verus Iron Shield that just I ordered [emoji2]

It's glossy and has shimmer but not very obvious and yeah it's more stiff than the spigen capsule. Spigen capsule feels like rubber tpu while caseology feels like a little bit of hardness for a tpu. Both are great quality just depends of the persons preference I guess.
I have the red samsung protective case and I have to admit that it is excellent, the fit is perfect and in hand it feels perfect

I have the Spigen Tough Armor and love it.
I first brought spigen ultra hybrid mint. Switch to clear version after the mint part turn black. Then i brought blue jelly tpu and sold off clear ultra hybrid. Brought 0.3mm clear using it for long time. Sold off blue jelly.
Brought mercury skyblue jelly case. Use it one day dump into chute. Too sticky and slippery. Made note 4 sticky too. After abit of wiping back to 0.3 mm clear tpu.
So using 0.3mm clear tpu now.

I have 4 cases:
BodyGlove Satin: Decent case, good feel in the hands a bit bulkier than I like. It does have an excellent grip. Sometimes volume and power keys are hard to get to and the opening for the USB cable is too small. Some of my cords were "large" and bulged out the case.
Caseology Bumper frame, metallic mesh silver: Very bulky, looks great, just too big for my taste.
Diztronic TPU case: Great fit, feels good in the hands, although seems a bit too thin for me.
Samsung-Blue: Now this is my favorite. I get the slimness of the diztronic but feels a bit more rugged.
Hopefully this will end my case buying frenzy for a while
Ringke Slim - It used to be my daily driver. Really nice rubbery texture and is very slim.
Caseology TPU - Plastic, toy like feel. It bends really well and its slightly bulkier than the Ringke Slim.
J&D Slim - Slim as the Ringke but doesn't protect the top or bottom. It's slightly more slippy (not a strong grip) than the Ringke Slim.
Spigen Neo Hybrid - Offers great protection and nice metal buttons. Way too bulky for me to hold.
Bear Motion Ultra Slim - My daily driver. The most slim, minimal protection case that doesn't cover the top or bottom. The texture feels very similar to the OnePlus One Sandstone Black. Very smooth and soft texture. The case doesn't have that 'slippery' texture. I'm considering buying additional colors.
Spigen slim armor
Speck candyshell grip
Fake leather pouch for going case-less
All are good. I love going G case-less, but I'm usually too nervous and rough to always do that. Candyshell grip is an awesome daily driver. Probably the best all around. Slim armor looks great, but scratched metal edges and it's much bulkier.

I just ordered the grey one from Amazon since it was only $15 based on all the reviews you guys have made about the case.

I have exactly the same cases and I use the Diztronic.
Spigen Neo Hybrid
Spigen Tough Armor
Spigen Slim Armor
UAG Scout
Verus Thor
Definitely like the Verus the best. Planning on ordering the Ballistic Urbanite and Seidio Capsa or Dilex Pro soon.
Otterbox Defender
Ringke Slim
I have the Otterbox on just now.
The Seidio Surface holster is a perfect match for the UAG case. They were made for each other.
Also works perfectly with the Speigen slim armour
how durable would this be compared to the otterbox defender? its what I currently have but Im looking for something slightly slimmer and without the plastic screen cover. I want a tempered glass one
The UAG won't go face out in the holster, just face in.
Last seidio case/holster combo I had wouldn't go face out either. Face in I'd far better for protecting the phone, however you can't make use of the kickstand feature of the holster. Luckily the case had a kickstand built in. I only use speigen clear case now though.

Is the UAG case slippery?
Love the UAG. I have about 7 cases but always come back to the UAG
