Good Case with Screen Cover?

Looking to get the girly a nice case as hers is falling apart but she only wants a case that protects the screen. Right now she has a cheap one from amazon that the phone snaps into and then there is a magnetic screen protector on it as well. Anyone with any experience with these?

I have an invisible shield screen protector with a Speck case which is a great combo. Speck has some feminine colors for cases and the invisible shield is a great screen protector, but it does seem to smudge a lot.

Maybe Otterbox Commuter will be nice solution?

best case
otterbox to me is the best case to get

Zagg invisishield but get the antiglare/anti smudge one's form best buy the never smudge even with chicken grease (hadda txt one night while eating wings) as far as case's go amazon.com has a ton of them personally i recommend a tpu style case they're light nice and have grip liek a jelly, but they are also hard liek a snap case plus the s-line one's have a raised camera lip so u won't scratch the lens when it set it camera side down, only thing the s-line is for desire hd nd while it fits the screen side dosen't always lien up perfect, meaning that the raised lips aroudn the screen isn't always raised all the way around other then that they are great and come in ton's of different colors

Diztronic vs i-Blason vs Cimo TPU cases

Let me start by saying the Diztronic TPU is amazing and absolutely perfect in every way, except one. The top and bottom chrome bezel are getting scratched by the sharp edges of the case. It's not from dirt and dust or just rubber marks, they're actual little scratches. I'm looking to buy one of the "S-Line" cases (on amazon because I have gift card credit). Others have mentioned that the edge is not as sharp on these and I do not mind the buttons being harder to press. Are the i-Blason and Cimo brands essentially the same or what? The i-Blason looks a little more refined and is rated better. Thanks!
edit: forgot, I have an Ionic guardian and it's great as well, but just too pocket sticky for me. Definitely is great protection though.

The bezel is so weak it even scratches by sliding the phone in and out of your pocket. So, not a big deal imho!

My Diztronic case hasn't scratched my bezel? lol

I've read threads of many other people complaining about the same issue. Even the Diztronic store on amazon has complaints of it. I remember having this issue with their cases on my Galaxy Nexus as well.
If your bezel isn't scratched yet, consider yourself lucky.
However, aside from that the Diztronic is the most solid TPU case you will find.

This case will not actually scratch the phone, but dirt and dust will.

I disagree, my phone simply does not get exposed to dirt or sand that would scratch. Take of the case and rub your finger just inside the top and bottom inside edge of it. It's fairly sharp for TPU

TPU is just plastic, it won't scratch other plastic. That would be a horrible feature for a case lol.

i have both diztronic and i-blason.
i like the diztronic better. the i-blason is softer but it fits loose. diztronic fits like a glove. you will get more dirt/grit/crap between your phone and the i-blason case due to its fitment.
from all the phones ive owned with a shiney bezel, they all get micro scratches on them. theres no avoiding it unless you get a full body cover like xoskin/xtremeguard/bodyarmors/etc that covers the bezel. just use your phone as intended. any cases will get crap trap between your phone and case. just be sure to take it off regularly to clean it out.

I have the diztronic case on my n4 and the quality and fit is outstanding. I bought it off eBay and had it shipped to the UK from the States and it was still cheaper by a long shot than anything available here in the UK.
I use it with an invisible shield front and back protector and although it was fiddly getting it on and making sure the screen protector didn't lift, its now on and I have no lift at all.

AW: Diztronic vs i-Blason vs Cimo TPU cases
I can too say that diztronic is the best tpu out there.

Because different types of plastic can't have different levels of hardness and different surface finishes (like polished chrome plastic) aren't more vulnerable to scuffing. Yes, they're really small fine scratches but they're there and I wasn't expecting them.

I have a Diztronic case and the fit is prefect. No scratching at all. The only issue I have is the screen protector lifts when the case goes on or off. The film is centered well just for some reason always snags a bit on the bottom corners.

is there really a difference between a 1$ TPU case and all the other ones ? I thought they were all made in the same factory...

Cygnett Carbon Fiber Case

Surprised I haven't seen any reviews of the Cygnett cases. I've seen other Cygnett cases on previous phones and always wanted to try them out.
The case is a simple snap on design. The Carbon Fiber back looks really sleek and you can tell it is of high grade carbon fiber material. My favorite part of the case is actually the sides. The sides are of a matte finish that really enhances the grip of the phone. If you're looking for a real slim case, then this will be a good one to look for. The case is kind of expensive sitting at 30 dollars, but I feel the quality is worth it. I've had similar snap on cases from Ringke, SGP, and Elago, but the Cygnett case design is superior and overall the case just feels much sturdier. Also the matte finish has the best grip of any snap on case I've ever used.
If you're looking for protection, this case won't help much at all. I have dropped the phone from 5ft onto concrete and I heard a small bounce. When I looked at the phone, it was perfect, but I wouldn't rely on it.

Wow Cool :thumbup:

How is the lip on the device? I like that carbon fiber and their brushed aluminum one and I need to get a new case but I want to make sure that the lip is decent on the front if i place the phone face down.

The Lip is barely there. I'm talking like a 0.7mm lip over the front. The glass won't touch the ground when lied flat on its face.I even have a Mime glass protector on it and it still doesn't touch the ground.

nice casing and looks very sturdy

Does the back feel matte or glossy?

Glossy

I have the white carbon fiber version and the sides are more slippery (not matte) and the back looks like it is just woven tinsel. I would recommend getting the black version, NOT the white. I stupidly thought that it would look like the black carbon fiber, just white...

Review: i-Blason Unity Series 2 Layer and Tempered Glass Screen Protector

- Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector
http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00NV4TCF6/ref=pe_386430_30332290_TE_3p_dp_1
- i-Blason Unity Series 2 Layer
I just got these for my phone and wanted to share some pics.
For the tempered glass, I just bought one of the cheap ones. I was taking a change on haloing, and it has a halo. But, it is barely noticeable if the screen is on. The only other issue is that it barely covers the screen width-wise. I get what I paid for. Other than that, the visibility is awesome like any other glass screen protector. S-pen and finger touch have no issues.
After looking at many different cases, I again got one of the cheaper options. This case adds little bulk, but nothing like other similar cases. Plastic part has matte finish, so no finger prints. It is a little slippery, but rubber part does not catch dirt/lint and grip is good enough. The lip on the screen side is barely enough to clear the glass protector. I would have like a bigger lip, but as long as the screen is not touched when the phone is face-down, I can live with it. The only annoying issue is that feel for the side buttons are muted due to the rubber.
Overall, the case provides adequate protection and the fit is great. For the price, I may say that it is a better value than Spigen Slimarmor or other similar cases.

Looks very nice.

Looks like the case is two pieces that snap together? If so, does it easily split apart? I ordered the Unicorn Beetle SUPCASE because it seems to do just that, but (like most cases) there are a lot of mixed reviews so more options the better o-O;; Looks nice :good:

[Q] Case vs. Skin vs. naked

Since the S6 is very slippery but very good looking because of the glass, do you use a case because you want to be safe or do you use a skin to retain the phones thin body or you prefer it naked without anything on and around it?

Skin and Case! :good:

Definitely a case with shock absorbing properties. I'm not spending close to a grand on a glass encased phone just so it can have cracks on it.

I think the phone is gorgeous, but use a Verus aluminum bumper in order to get low drop protection and camera protection while keeping the phone mostly original looking. If it weren't for the protruding camera, I've consider carrying the phone bare. (Though I would be concerned with slippage.)
For comparison, I didn't hate the looks the of the S4, but I wasn't thrilled with them either so I put a Spigen Neo Hybrid on, which gave it a look that I liked more, while still looking like a phone and not a case. (Most people I showed my S4 to loved it and didn't realize it was a case.)
I think it's interesting that you bring this up because I asked a similar question in the "show us your case" thread, and people took offense to what I was asking. My basic question was "Do you use big UAG/Otterbox cases merely for protection, or do you prefer the look over the look of the bare phone." I guess I worded it poorly, as I mostly got defensiveness of case choices. Hopefully your thread gets better responses.
(In my photo below, the difference in screen glare and body color is only from a difference in lighting - I used different setups on different days and didn't match the screen lighting. There is no "glare" from the Verus case.)

naked is not a good idea.
friend dropped the phone and completely shattered the screen and created a spider web

(Sounds to me like dropping the phone is a bad idea. )
That would be the risk to not having a potentially unsightly case.

Case + skin. case to protect from falls and skin to protect from scratches

Got both the uag maverick and ash case, prefer the ash on my sapphire black s6, and the maverick on a white s6 both look crazy awesome tho

I use a Dbrand skin and tempered glass screen protector in normal days. Just bought a spigen rugged armour as I'm gonna go on a 3 day camp and I don't wanna risk breaking it.
The dbrand skin should suffice for everyday use. It protects the rear glass from cracking if I ever drop it. And the tempered glass helps with the front glass. The only thing that is unprotected in the event of a drop is my sides.
It's your choice, do you like the feel of the S6 naked? Or would you rather have a cheap piece of TPU protecting it?
Also, if you choose to go naked/skin, the chamfered edges of the aluminium is very soft so it scratches rather easily. You can get a metal bumper to help with drop and impact protection on the sides.

Case. I would consider a skin, but the extra protection is nice. No way I'm carrying this phone naked. Then again, I never carry phones naked anyway.

Dbrand black leather skin on the back, otherwise naked. I hate cases, I'd rather pay for insurance and deductible for replacement than compromise the look and feel of a phone I like.

I just use screen guard both sides it looks and feels good

I had an iron shield on it but removed it about a week ago because the aluminum bumper was killing my GPS signal. Somehow in that week time I got a scratch on my screen. Make sure to put a screen protector on too!

Going naked. I did not pay $650+ to put this in a $5 case. I want to enjoy the phone as it was meant to be. I only have a tampered glass on top and that's good enough for me.

Have a skin - slickwrap at the back, a case and a tempered glass on front.
