Hey guys,
I am planning to get a case for my S4. I personally prefer slim case that doesn't make my phone look too bulky. I am considering the Ultra Capsule and the ultra think air. Has anyone used any of these two cases? I can't find any picture of the ultra capsule.
Thanks,
while i can't comment about the ultra capsule, i have two of the ultra thin air (well, one is the ultra fit, but it's technically just a matte version of the ultra thin air). i think it's a great case because it doesn't add hardly any bulk or weight. i can take a picture of it if you'd like. i have the tango orange and the white. let me me know.
the negatives (not for me, but for others) are that the top and bottom are uncovered (the corners are though); the side buttons are a little hard to press at first; and some screen protectors will get lifted on the sides (this is same with the ultra capsule i believe) because of the lip.
here are videos of the thin air:

The "original" Samsung cover also doesn't add a lot of bulk and feels quite nice. It does scratch rather easily though...
You can see some images here: front & back. Some more (also showing the Mime Glass protector) here
The Spigen Ultra Fit looks pretty identical to the cheaper Ringke Slim that I'm using.

I have this Elago Slim Fit. Almost feels like its part of the phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHySRZkjJE0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Hi High Kick.
What color of phone are you using? I would appreciate if you can post the picture of the white color case. Thanks a lot!

i have the white S4. i've had black smartphones this whole time, so i thought i'd get a white one instead. however, i'm finding that white phones are harder to buy cases for.
one thing to note about the ultra fit is that it's A LOT more slippery than the ultra thin air. i was expecting the matte to be kind of softly rubbery and grippy, like what i'm used to matte being, but it feels like i'm holding a bar of wet soap. the ultra fit is $9.99, but i would recommend paying more for the ultra thin air.

i have the ringke slim also, and normally i would recommend the ringke slim over spigen based on price (and the fact that it's practically the same case). but i've found that the ringke slim cases are almost impossible to remove (at least for me).
p.s. the paper underneath my phone in the pictures is the return label for the spigen neo hybrid. i just couldn't stand how wide it made my phone.

Thank you very much for your suggestion and picture. I am also using a white S4 and I really like the phone. I think I will either go with ultra thin air or just don't use a case at all to keep the original beauty.
The ultra capsule is one of the worst designed cases I have ever purchased.
The fit its loose and the material feels like a China cheap case.
On the other hand everything I purchased from poetic has me totally won over with their quality and price.
I have 3 palette cases one atmosphere and I just ordered the revolution for when I am at the building site of my home.
On a side note the neo hybrid oozes quality.
And yes I am a case junkie.

although i said the ultra fit is very, very slippery, one might wonder why i'm not returning/exchanging it for the ultra thin air (which i said had a better grip). well, the ultra thin air, with its matte finish, just LOOKS SO much better than the glossy finish of the ultra thin air. i've been staring at the matte and the glossy side-by-side for a few minutes, and the matte is so much better looking. so, basically i'm going for looks over security. i just wanted to add that in my "review" as it might help you decide which one to purchase. also, keep in mind that the ultra thin air comes with more stuff; the ultra thin air is just the case. i hope that helps some more.

Thanks for the info. I guess the picture that you took is the matte. How's the feel of the grid compare to the original phone (without case)? The only reason that I want the case is to protect the edge of the phone as well as the camera lens since the lens stick out a little bit.

i think the grip with the matte ultra fit on is more slippery.
check out this review (it's the review that convinced me to buy the ultra fit):

Thanks. Does ultra fit or thin air make the side button harder to press? Does it decrease the speaker volume?

Does the white colour of the ultra slim look close to the phone? Or does it give you a rubber white feeling? I am thinking whether the white colour of ultra thin air will look closer to the phone since they are both glossy.
I bought Ultra Fit last month and could only used it for 2 days. I was squatting and the phone slipped out from my pocket to the concrete floor. A corner of the case is broken. The front screen frame is sunken. Checked with Samsung, they said that frame must be replaced along with the screen.
The case looks gods and is very light. But you have to give up the safety of your phone. Your choice
I bought the ultra thin air and it sucks. You can barely press the power and volume buttons. Not worth $25. I never use cases but thought this one would be minimal. I was wrong.

the ultra fit is only $9.99. it's more slippery, but it looks better in my opinion. i don't have any problems getting to any of the side buttons, but i think i'm used to it since i've been using cases like this (ringke slim) since my last phone.
I think neo hybrid is slimmer than my ultra thin air crystal clear.

I have just received the Ultra Thin Air case yesterday. The case fits very well and tight to the phone. I really like the case overall except the is a bit to press the power button.
Just wanted to warn everyone that the Electric Blue Spigen Ultra Fit provides absolutely no grip.
Just received it, and I am promptly sending it back. I also own the Bright Red Nexus 5 Ultra Fit case, and the difference is like night and day. The Nexus 5 Ultra Fit provides much more grip. I was quite surprised, as both cases are of the same series.
Contacted Spigen Support, they suggested that I try the black Ultra Fit S5 case.
Going to order that and see if the black Ultra Fit provides more grip.
In the mean time, back to using the Spigen Neo-Hybrid.

The black has an insane amount of grip as it's an actual matte based texture.

Yeah that's what the spigen tech told me also.
Placed my order, looking forward to it.
Thanks for replying
Received the black Spigen Ultra Fit. Looks absolutely wonderful!
Comes with the Spigen Ultra Clear screen protector too.Very satisfied.
Best $12.99 (Canadian) I spent in a long time. Now I have both Nexus 5 and S5 wrapped in this super-grippy slim case.
Would definitely recommend.
Hello,
so i just bought me a brand new awesome phone a week ago, which is the galaxy s4 black edition :victory:
my former phone was an S3 mini which i used with the original samsung protective cover and i thought they fit perfectly together.
so i ordered the same for my s4 black edition, the samsung blue navy protective cover and it arrived today.
to my surprise i doesn`t fit so well i mean the lip of the case doesn`t even cover completely the silver edge of the phone
is this edition slightly thicker? have any of you guys had this same problem? any other similar case you could recommend?
i`ll just answer my own question: the protective cover+ does NOT fit the black edition
also tested the cover+ with an old black mist battery cover and they match alright
keep this in mind if you bought an s4 black edition too
I bought lately black edition back for my i9505, and what was my biggest surprise my phone doesn't fit anymore to my Sleeve/ Pouch. ( to be exact PURO Essential View )
And it's not even matter of size, but back structure on black edition is imitating leather and in a contrast to genuine leather it's a little bit sticky.
So when I want to put it into my pouch fraction is to big, so I cannot easily put it in and out.
So if you will be wandering about this solution I cannot recommend it either.

Hell, that case barely goes with my Black Mist version. The front is still too black for the navy blue back and deep purple/blue border. But, it's the sleekest case that offers this much protection. If you want a case that matches your blacker 'Black Edition' phone, I would get the black version of the Spigen Slim Armor. Not quite as grippy or thin as the Cover+ but it's blacker for sure.
As for fitment, the Cover+ fits excellently, but sometimes, the top part shows a sliver of silver. I'll just push it back on the phone and it's good again.
I`m interested to buy Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my I9506 black edition but i`m not sure if it fits as the case was designed for original S4.
Are there anyone using this combination?
Thanks!

You can use the Spigen Neo Hybrid case with your black edition i9506, I am using it right now on my phone.

Great! I heard about usb port cutout is a bit narrow, can you confirm it?
I`m gonna use mostly kingston micro stick duo flash drive and just want to be sure in compatibility.
Thanks!

Most propably you will have problem to use this stick and you will have to take out the phone from the case.

I bought the black edition and i want to buy exactly this case puro essential view, with pull up ability. It is useless?? or it just goes in and out more difficult than the black mist?
Sorry for so late repply. In my case I've resigned from back edition back, cause I was afraid to no to damage pure case and back at the same time.
I have S4 mini Black edition
I have S4 mini Black edition , It's very nice but low battery
Hey everyone, I finally upgraded from an S3 to an S6 and loving it. On my S3 I was using a UAG case which it still has and still works great. Now that I have a S6, I want to try something different than UAG.
I was wondering if anyone has used or have one of the following cases im pondering on:
Ballistic Explorer
Ballistic Tough Jacket
Spigen Slim Armor
Spigen Tough Armor
If you have one, can you share pics and your experiences so far? Thank you all its been awhile
take a look at http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...xtreme-shock-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-6.html. I upgraded from s3 and UAG too. I love the new dualtek case. By the way UAG wasnt that protective I guess because It scratched my phones back and sides over time.
Currently using the Spigen Slim Armor in white. Love how it makes the phone feel and the durability it adds.
I upgraded from a Note 4, so the sizing was a bit odd to get use to at first but I'm loving it so far.
Highly recommend the case, but just not in white. Picks up and makes dirt way more visible then other cases.
Armor case recommended

Armor one is always better than other case.
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions, I checked my S3 and it has no scratches from the UAG case. I'll do some more reviews and once I pick one, I'll post pics
Maybe ill Buy two of them lol...
I have been selling cellphones for too long and I have at points swapped out cases weekly. The best cases are Uag, incipeo, spigen, bodyglove, tech21 for different reasons.
The ones for the s6 I have been swapping between.

Curious - I have the NGP also. Is yours properly aligned on the power/lock button? Mine moves a lot in that area when you go to click the lock button. Wondering if it's an issue with my case or the NGP in general. But overall I like the case a lot! It's like what I was expecting from Diztronic. (Which is pretty terrible for the S6 compared to my previous Moto X cases.)
i am a simple man, so i use hybrid case, i have bought this kit, when i got a s6
Just got a spigen air cushion crystal-clear case
Superb quality
Even can use samsung QI wireless charger too
Great case indeed!
Great case. I have 3 of them (clear, space/smoked, and metal slate). This case has a larger front lip (to protect screen) than the similarly designed Ringke Fusion.
Really happy with it too doesn't bulk it up either
This is the one I got a week ago, and , so far, so good!!! My only concern is how dirty will it get as time passes.
Superb crystal-clear case 1st full day still showing the sexy body of the phone better then my other cases too
I put a fake carbon fiber sticker on the back of my phone. This is the metal slate color, which compliments my "black sapphire" (dark blue) S6 well. Also attached is the crystal clear color of the case.

I've got this one too but I have noticed one problem with this case. The edges of this case after some time are getting yellow. Do you guys know how to avoid this?

Do you have the Spigen or other brand? Other brands make very similar style cases. My wife has the Ringke Fusion case, which became yellow over time. I've owned all 3 for the Galaxy S6, and the Spigen is best.

I have this case for almost 6 months, it's on my phone everyday. It has excellent drop protection, dropped it a few times from 150cm height no problems. Only thing that is problem with every clear case is that they get yellow after some time. Only thing i wish if it was a bit thicker so it will cover just above camera hump not in line with camera hump
I bought this case like 3 days after I bought my S6, 100% loving it.
blue carbon fiber sticker. matches the blue of the case and phone.
Mine also got yellowish on the sides... It protects the camera just fine though.
I regret getting the crystal clear one because of how yellow the sides became over time. I should have known this. Still, it's doing an excellent job of protecting my gs6.
