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.
Wow, I had no idea they're already accepting orders, it's great to see android is finally becoming a popular smart phone option.

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
difference between armor and hybrid?
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.

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??

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...

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
Sent from my Xperia Arc S using xda premium
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."
just picked one of these up from amazon.

this version is way more attractive then the s3 version.

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.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
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:
http://www.arkon.com/sports_armband/armband-galaxy-note.html
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.

Love my Kraken for the S3, wouldn't have anything else on an S4
ive used my kraken for ~4 days now and i love the protection it gives;
but man...
the beltclip was designed so god damn poorly;
its a real chore to get my phone snapped onto the damn thing.
Mine just arrived and I'm loving it. Better designed than the S3 case!

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is a company named calicase that does cases similar to peel. Super thin. I think it's like .35mm.
Hopefully it comes to the pixel as well. Had it for the notev7 and s6
Orzly Airframe Case. It is a slim, yet hard and protective type of case. My favorite colour for it has to be the Black and silver one!

The cases are slowly trickling out. I prefer the slim shells. But larger hard cases definitely offer better protection.
I've put together a short video of some of the Hard Cases currently offered:https://youtu.be/dVU4eX6kkhw
Cool video
Sub'ing, I definitely want a PC thin case for mine as well.
Still, no one really thin showed up.. Waiting.. Add Calicase to the list.
Nillkin accessories for new #GooglePixel and Pixel XL is on the way. I was able to reach someone at Nillkin who confirmed it, but can't say if the polycarbonate frosted will be produced...

I'm looking for the Spigen Airskin or similar for the Pixel series. I have one on my work phone, and it's the best for a bit of protection, especially from scratches. I've dropped it a few times on hard surfaces, and the case did prevent any damage to the phone itself. It's only 0.4mm thick.

I know! I had the Rinke on my Nexus 6. It's the best thin hard case I have ever used.
I bought the Spigen Slim Armor in Gunmetal for my Pixel XL. I hadn't seen anyone post up real pics of this case installed yet so I figured I'd share. I definitely wouldn't break a sweat if I dropped my phone with this case on. It feels very sold and looks good in my opinion. I wrote an in-depth review with loads of pics if you'd like to check it out over on my site, here. Feel free to ask me any questions.

The rugged armor looked to be a little to bulky for me. But I was considering it.
I got the black slim armor case. Love it. The kickstand may be a little weak. Other than that... Great case!

I was concerned about that, but the images get smaller when you make the window smaller

Wait a minute... Even though the wording is contradictory, I thought the Rugged Armor is amaller/thinner than the slim armor?

I meant the tough armor. My mistake. The tough armor was too bulky for me.
I've also updated the post to include my new video review.
I tried all 3 (Rugged, Slim, and Tough). Tough Armor is the best by far and Slim Armor was my least favorite. Sent the other two back.
Does the slim have the speaker holes pointed forward?

I have the Spigen RA and I love it. I miss the fact that it doesn't have a kickstand but the slimness and feel is great. Great in the hand and not bulky. Highly recommended it.
I was thinking of buying a Rugged Armor to test out. I really love Spigen. Great stuff.

I have the rugged armor on my phone and it's great. The buttons on the side are very tactile. The cutout for the fingerprint feels natural.
I've been using spigen since my nexus 6, after 4 tries with other cases. I had the case for over a year.
This case for my Pixel will be the last one I'll have to buy.

Hey guys,
I got the slim armor too and i like it.
I've got one question though.
If i remove the lower part of the case, the plastic clip (stand) just falls out.
Is that normal ?
It's absolutely no biggie, but i was just wondering.
Yes it's normal. The stand just sits in the groove of the outer shell.

I have the rugged armor for the XL and even though I'm loving it in terms of build quality and grip, I have to return it because the cutouts for the camera and the one for the laser autofocus are way too small.
Those cutouts always end up full of lint in a matter of hours in my pocket, and the phone autofocus stops working or does weird things.
I can wipe the camera lens easily, but the autofocus cutout is so small, it's a pain in the butt to clean.
I'm waiting on a case with a larger single cutout for the whole camera and sensors that I hope will alleviate those problems.
I guess this case can work for some, it just depends on where you store your phone (no, not there :silly
