Galaxy S4 Cases & Screen protectors - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Glad Spigen is investing in S4 cases/screen protectors. They're bringing out their GLAS series to the S4 as well! Hope they bring out their full line of products like they have been for apple products. What cases/screen protectors are you guys looking forward to or have you heard of??
Edit: Heres some pictures for you guys

Re: Galaxy S4 Cases & Screen protectors.
I really like Trident. I have one on my s3, & I must admit it's a tough sucker, but I also want the one that they showed at the Unpacked event. As for SP, Spigen are really good. I hope they make the one that covers the whole screen.

There's going to be TONS of stuff available for this baby!
edit: Maybe I should add something with content, so here's a huge list of Galaxy S4 cases I've been looking at everyday
http://s4accessories.com/galaxy-s4-cases/

Seems there always a lot of cases and covers will be released before the mobile,iPhone not being the exception, however,this time GS4 do good job on the privacy which makes some one just like Vcore launched the ugly three holes Galaxy S4 case as you could see here:
http://www.galaxys4flipcase.com/bra...assic-leather-case-for-galaxy-s4-i9500-brown/
now no one would get this case!lol!!! Anyway,I'm going to transfer my former GS3 to GS4 and surely get some nice case,just keep going and will share the case to GS4 case fans like me...lol!!

Gotta be honest, I'm loving the S View case! I'll definitely be picking one of those up

I see you can sign up for news of the upcoming cases through Otterbox and while I like them I switched to Trident and like them a lot better (especially if the bring the design your own case to the S4) but they haven't announced that they're going to be making a case...making I'm not looking in the proper place. Any other news of good protective cases. I always put one on with decent protection but minimal bulk added. Looking forward to hearing more about accessories coming to the S4.

I'm hoping for Ballistic. I have one for my Evo 3D, and it smokes the Otterbox in durability, ease of on/off and I like that it keeps the dust out. I had emailed them and according to the replay they will be making cases for the S4.

Yes,get news that otterbox and case-mate will release their case for Galaxy S4 in short while and many may choose the defender or candy series,if the price is not the sole element then just go for it, for the case is not a complex product and some may follow their heart to choose one to match their own style,say,brief design back cover is also a good solution,good on design and color configuration...

Samsung Galaxy S4 (S IV, SIV) BodySuit

agree

Hoping for a nice bumper-style case here, or I'll end up getting a Seidio Surface

I really want a protective case that has good protection without excessive bulk with a kickstand at the back. I hate flip cases cause they're just too annoying

Trident commented on their facebook page that they will have S4 cases "soon as they are avaialble". :victory:
Can't wait to get one.

I have to say, many brands are so quick that they even can sell S4 accessories before the phone comes out. Just like DSstyels, they already have many designs for choosing.

Most of then...silicon
They will launch on May for US customers. But I guess They will launch S4 in Korea 1st.
I will buy it then post some real pictures soon.

hope device arrives home soon

looks like all the companies are bringing the heat for Galaxy S4 cases

No, full back cover if I read the description right:
"The Galaxy S4 Neo Hybrid is an assembly-type case with a TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame. The Neo Hybrid is form-fitted to effectively protect your device from external impact. The Galaxy neo Hybrid is designed to highlight the curves of the Galaxy S4. It fits precisely onto the phone for a natural and sleek look. The Galaxy S4 Neo Hybrid is a 2 part case that can be dissembled into a TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame. The Neo Hybrid uses premium TPU material for extra durability. The TPU back cover will not sag or expand due to heat from the device."

Spigen SGP Accessories

Just noticed that SGP has a few new accessories listed for the GS4 plus a great deal along with it. If you buy any of their GS4 products, you get a free screen protector along with it, which i'd assume is their Ultra Crystal. For anyone that hasn't used these protectors in the past they are hands down the best on the market as far as clarity, and glass like feel. They have 3 cases available plus one more "coming soon" along with a leather pouch. I'm not sure which of the cases I'm going to get yet as they all look really nice. Here's the link to the page: http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s4-cases.html
That Slim Armor case looks pretty nice.

Ya it does I just wish I knew how much bulk it adds.
Well it is called slim armor so im sure not that fat
yea, i agree. the slim armor looks nice. I might pair that up with the glas.t. this will be a work phone...i only get one!
I have the SGP Slim Armor in the Black/Red on my iPhone 5 (IMO - this purchase was not well informed). Regardless, of what phone I have the case is AMAZING. Adds no bulk and is made extremely well. My only gripe with this case is the headphone jack hole in the case is not big enough for when I plug it into my AUX input and I have to take it off every time. Other than this small gripe, I highly recommend this case!

Also checked the cases. I like the look of them very much. Only sad thing is, that the resellers in my region only sell iphone stuff. If I order one directly from spigen, the shipping will double he cost of the case

I got the same color slim armor and also a pack of the ultra crystal screen protectors. They have the protectors in stock and will ship them when you order but the cases aren't set to ship until mid May.

Re: Spigen SGP Accessories.
Just ordered the Neo Hybrid case on Ebay. Used my eBay Bucks, & payed only $22.12 with free shipping
BTW, did anyone order anything on Easter? Spigen had a 20% off your order sale on Easter.
I think I'll decide once I can see some non renderings of the back of the Slim case.
That two tone stripe shows up on a few of the pictures, if thats the case I'll go with the NEO

I got my Spigen Ultra Fit Case today. (Not the hybrid one.) I figured this one would probably arrive before the phone ever did. Gotta love having a case before the phone.

favorite case type? (by brand)

so which is it? spigen is the one i'm going with. i also like the look of the otterbox

Loyal Diztronic user and have my S4 wrapped in one right now. Very sleek.
I have always liked the Incipio Dual Pro cases particularly the button feedback on those. But, it makes the S4 look like a brick.

oh yes ive seen that version of incipio. i like cases with the hard outter shell and the softer rubberized inner shell. thats the reason i bought the slim armor! slimmer, sleeker looking, and still great protection!
When I had my iphone I always used SPG cases so pretty sure I will be getting them again for S4
im a fan of the cheap $3.50 soft rubber cases... i got one on my s3 since last sept. dropped my phone probably 3 times on bare cement from 2-4ft height and not a single scratch on the phone. not to mention no screen protector..

Received the Rearth ringke slim today. Nice materials, but took it off after 5 minutes and put diztronic back on. The s4 looks blacked out with it on and handles better than the Rearth.

I would highly recommend the Incipio DualPro case, or really any of their cases. I have the DualPro and I loved it the moment I pulled it out of the box. Very smooth feel to it, but very sturdy as it comes with a rubber like case that goes on first, and then a hardened case that goes on top of that. It's not bulky like most dual protection cases, it doesn't add a whole lot in weight, can't tell at all honestly. For $29.99, it's a great case for a great phone! If I had to get a case other than the DualPro from them, I would recommend the Frequency case, just a typical TPU case, but also a great product.
I'm obviously new at posting stuff on here, so I can't post a link to their site, just go to incipio.com and I'm sure you guys can figure it out from there
I prefer Trident for my main case. I have one on my S3. It really protects well & looks cool. I'm also giving spigen a shot.

Otterbox Black Defender
Got the case yesterday. Absolutely stunning quality. The S4 is easier to hold while using the phone and gaming. Case itself seem to have good fit and it has no potential gaps for dust or dirt sticking between the phone and the case. Also the screen protector is amongst the best there is, it just aligns perfectly and the feel of the screen is pretty much as without it.
The only con for someone would be the size, but for me in need of a case that really protects while on a motorcycle and in the garage, this is it!
I will order the Glacier (White / Gunmetal Gray) version when released also.
I think my choice is pretty obvious, although we sadly are not in your poll
I personally love SGP's screen protectors. However, I've bought their cases numerous times in the past only to be disappointed. They have a very talented CAD guy that makes all their products look specular, but the quality was just not there when I actually got the cases themselves. That said, I have not used their S4 cases yet.
I wonder why they go by SGP if their name is Spigen. Shouldn't it be SPG?

Trident Aegis Cases
I always get these cases as I think they are the best overall quality for protection and its not too bulky like the otterbox. Had on my S2, S3 and just ordered one off amazon for like 19 bucks. Cant beat that! my s2 and s3 are still in mint condition cause of that case!
Casemate Tough cases

The same here. I was not a case fan (making slim devices so bulk or useless protections actually) but after my GS3 took a light hit with shattered screen, I found only a hybrid (soft material with hardened shell) case should be the way to go. After a few hours on forums and YT review, I ordered a Tough.
Has a good grip, feels really tough (didn't tried a 200€ crash test though) even if the soft layer collects dust, it's not as bad as silicon shells and the phone don't get stuck to the pocket when you grab it.
Then, still owning my brave & tough S2 (not so easy to break one, what it endured!) and before stock went down, I bought one for it. Nice one.
Then I went for a GS4 and already had its Tough cover when I received it.
Because of the GS4 design, Case Mate had to lessen the lip/edge around the screen and to cut off the hard shell over both side buttons but all is nicely done and never clutter face buttons (as it sometimes happened with S3) nor affects the screen sides touch.
Because of the straight frame, more rectangular GS4 design, I feel it less bulky in the front jean pocket than GS3 one that had to come around the pebble bezel.
Urban Armor Gear w/ Fly Grip on S4 (still fits Smart Dock), rocked the Aegis on my Note 2 prev
I rock the trident kraken ams case. Awesome protection and good price. One of my favorite featured is being ablr to take the kickstand off and put on a windshield mount or the bike mount. They have like 8 diff accessories to attach to the case.

The most expensive case in this Galaxy S4 collection is a Swiss army knife of a wrapping, as it's made of genuine calf leather, features five slots for cards and IDs as well as three openings for cash and coins, at the same time providing protection for the S4, and keeping its ports and buttons easily accessible.
Well there you have it folks. To those who know me, know I'm somewhat of a case whore as I've bough about 6 different cases for my Galaxy Nexus which 3 of them I ended up giving away after trying out and rotating the other 3.
Looking at this line up above, I will most definitely try at least 3 of them. I'm not in to bulky cases so I will be getting with the white ROCK Slim cover, the white Samsung S View Cover and the Belkin Slim-Fit armband for working out to go with my White Frost GS4.
Do any of these cases interest you? Looking forward to a particular brand that wasn't mentioned above? Let us know by replying in this thread!
I'm waiting on my Uag case to be delivered, supposedly by third week of may. Had it on my S3 and fell in love with it.

Let us know how you like it when it arrives.
I like the extra corner protection. The case system seems like something from Aliens.
I had this case on my S3 for a few days before returning it, only because I didn't like the way the belt clip attached to the outer case. It's too hard to get it clipped in when the belt piece is still on your belt and you're trying to put the phone back in it. Also, I wasn't crazy about the clip piece being close to the screen. If this had a holster like Otterbox or a Seidio case I had for the S3, that would be much better IMO. Aside from the belt clip, the case itself is a solid Otterbox competitor, assuming build quality is the same for the S4 as it was for the S3.
I like the Trident Aegis case instead- just got one for my S4 and it offers the same protection without the bulky corners. I've had the Trident Aegis cases on my S2, S3 and now S4 and I must say its probably one of my favorite lines of cases.
Using the clip became 2nd nature after 2-3 days. I liked it because you could tell if the phone was on board without doing anything. What I didn't like is the ear opening cut off half the speaker and they didn't care.

I bought one for $30.99 on ebay. I have one on my s3 as well. I love the 360 belt clip and removable kickstand. Ordered mine on 5th, will be here on today.
Now I just need the phone.
Got this yesterday. Looks like a cross between an Otterbox Defender and an Element Case design. I really like it; pretty sure I like it more than an Otterbox Defender.
Pics:
Also, I discovered that the Kraken fits in the Arkon Galaxy Note 2 armband; I'm positive an Otterbox Defender case would fit also:

One of my previous Kraken cases use to drive me crazy when I wanted to put it on its back. Does the kickstand cause the case to rock when face up? Looks flush in the pics.
@Shady Gambino
looking at the pictures you posted and the pictures i posted;
why is there a bar that runs horizontally along the "SAMSUNG" text ?
i really hope the one i ordered doesnt have that bar.

If you look on the back, the top corners protrude, so the upper 2/3 of the case are in contact with a flat surface when you lay it flat. If you push down on the bottom, it will tilt, however.

No. It is poly carbonate but has a small bit of texture and some louvers on the back (for heat maybe?). If you use the case without the back on it (Perseus) then it will have more of a silicone feel. Can't really compare this case to the Seidio Active because the Kraken is a Mil Spec case. Much more stout.
If anyone is interested I did a short video review of this case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288370

Nope. Has small amount of texture but no coating.
What are the odds of this case fitting with a spigen glas t screen protector on ?

What M9 cases is everyone using?

Just as the title asks...
This is a thread to share M9 cases&screen protectors based on your own real experience, it would be some help to others' to find a favorite case for their new buddy.
Now I'm using Arozell M9 case on Amazon[ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012ODTG82 ] over 6 months and it really did the job.The look of the case is amazing. It is made of a plastic that does not feel cheap. There are two interlocking pieces, which makes it simple to remove/put on the case without much hassle. On top of that, there is a stand that folds into the back of the case, when you close it has a very pleasant "clink" when you snap it open and closed. Even though it has this fold-out stand, it does not take up any unnecessary space like a lot of cases that you can find.
Most importantly for me, the case encloses the entire phone. Many cases you will find do not have plastic that wraps around all of the edges of the phone resulting in the entire bottom portion of the phone exposed. This one does protect all of the sides and bottom, with nicely contoured openings for the speaker, headphone jack, and lightning port.

I have 4 cases. The Ringke Slim Gold case which I posted on here already, the Orzly FlexiSlim in smoke black which i really like - its ultra thin!
http://orzly.com/orzly-flexislim-case-for-htc-m9-smoke-black.html
and currently I am using this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MYRIANN-Ult...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item46386f94b3
It's like the Poetic Atmosphere but its a clear case - I wish it was smoke translucent.
I've been using a black Ringke Slim. Super slim, love it.
Currenly using the Spigen Slim Armor... generally speaking, I find the Spigen cases to be about as "no-frills-y" as they get, but this one does come with an added feature... gonna post a separate blog about it, but I can definitely confirm that it successfully resisted a 2'-4' drop on corners and face down.
I really like the Tech21 Evo Tactical

Im using this one with the InvisibleShield HDX screen protector, both recommended by the T-Mobile rep who checked me out when I got the phone. He uses the same setup on his M9, says his phone goes through hell, but it looked pristine to me. I've already dropped mine 10+ times in the 2 days I've had it, not a scratch. The "self-healing" tempered glass InvisibleShield is great for the screen, too.
I m using dot view ice premium and generic black slim case and I am happy with them up to now. No spigen purchased 'cause i think they do some bulky cases nowadays.
Except this One

Ballistic
Otterbox Defender.
What's the thinnest one that protects the camera?

Spigen Neo Hybrid does a nice job and the camera is just right. I've been using it for over a month
Has anyone picked up the new HTC clear shield case yet? I am trying to compare it to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as both look pretty similar.
I'm with otterbox right now, and whenever they are available, i'll pick up some junky ones on aliexress. They take a while to get here, but it's nice to have a variety without spending lots.

Ringke Slim
Switched to otterbox, had HTC dotview, but the binding started to rip so I returned it. HTC dotview is a cool concept , but is not practical if you use your phone a lot (IMO)
Went from Spigen Neo Hybrid to UAG and never looking back
Im using a Seidio dilex case with kickstand
Another vote for the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. Nice color choices for the bumper and not bulky.
My UAG arrived today and it looks and feels great. Very pleased.
