The Galaxy S4 may be plastic(which is an advantage imo) but it got a lot less scuffs and dings compared to the iPhone 5.

What do you think guys?which one fared better?

It's pretty lame to compare metal to plastic. I'm sorry bud but plastic always will win in a drop test :banghead:

Seriously? Then why people fight metal vs plastic? So plastic fares better on drop tests and also fares better on scratches.so...

Hence why I prefer plastic. So much tradeoffs for gorgeous looks, for me it's not worth it. Even when I used to have HTC, I really liked the plastic build and would easily prefer it over the One's design IMHO.

Hello my fellow xda users
Im really sorry if there its a thread about this case but I couldn't find it anywhere.
Im thinking about buying this case for my phone but I really hate buying something without doing any research.
Could someone please tell me if I should but this case? It seems to be new on Ebay. If you have bought this case please let me know what you think about it. :beer:
Thank you

I just bought this case. It is great. It is probably the most protective case out right now. My only issue is it is a bit large and is a pain to slide in and out of your pocket.
But I'm no longer afraid of shattering my fragile phone.
Also the case makes it a bit hard to pull down the notification bar.
I combined it will a full body best skin ever and I'm positive my phone will look brand new a year from now when I sell it. Also the skin feels very natural, unlike invisishield

The bumper look nice.thinking of getting 1

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't metal cases interfere with cell signal?
I haven't really seen anyone post up a back cover for the Galaxy S4, but this one is pretty unique. It's not plastic but it's rubberized and smooth. It makes the phone look way better than the original back cover. I do understand that there are metal back covers, but they have a black outline on them and make the phone a bit bulkier. This fits perfectly.:good:
If you're interested:laugh:

It fits on any case, but I use it without a case at times because it feels nice without it. Just the texture makes it feel great.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Looks good. But does it sit higher than the camera. To stop the camera lens getting scratches ?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I like. I might grab one. I wanted one for my S3 but it had the KHOMO logo on the outside where the Samsung logo normally is and I just thought it looked tacky.
Just bought one. I wish there were more back covers like this. Nice texture and clean looking.
A nice suede back cover would be really nice.
Does this back works with zero lemon 3000 battery?

Oh that's cool. I think we have the same battery cover. I have lime green on currently from the 6 pack on Amazon. My fre back is clear too so similar concept.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
Looks nice. I assume the clear plastic doesn't have the matte finish of the colored UAGs, which will make the case a little bit slipperier.
The interior back doesn't have a layer of shock-absorbing rubber. I wonder if the case will be thinner as a result.

Color is true to the Amazon color. IPod touch camera sucks. Snaps on flush and perfect with no issues and same clearance as official battery cover.

Finally got it in! Awesome case! I got a blue battery cover too. Will take pics of that also. Only downside is that this case is so much harder to get on/off. The black long sides do not flex as much as my black uag case but that's not a biggie for me cause it looks awesome and is protected like all other uag cases!

Is the clear plastic smooth or textured? I wish it didn't have the honeycomb design.

Smooth from the outside. Honeycomb is inside for shock absorption. I like the Honeycomb!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
the honeycomb gives a reptile/crocodile skin type of look that probably won't go well with a brushed aluminum or carbon fiber battery cover. plus it makes the case look hazy/frosted in certain angles. thanks for posting pics of it. :good:

So samsung, don't change the build to "premium metal", the build of my note 3 pretty much good or better than any premium phone, I love it.

I agree with op. The iPhone 5 looks like crap once it's has a few scratches and there are more ways to scratch a phone than just dropping it.
