[Review] Luvvitt Armor Shell Case - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

http://www.amazon.com/LUVVITT®-Abso...=1368893798&sr=8-1&keywords=luvvitt+galaxy+s4
Found this great little case. It has a soft silicon inlay and a hard carbon fiber like outer case. The outer layer feels really soft and smooth texture that feels amazing. It's the same texture as the Rearth ultra slim line cases if you have had one. It offers great protection but doesn't sacrifice too much aesthetics. It's one of the best looking cases I have tried. It's a great marriage between Otterbox's protection and Spigen's beauty.
I have a MIME Ghost Glass protector on it's not an issue at all. The inner silicon layer sits just on the outer edge of the MIME. All ports are cut out perfect.

Video Review: Rearth Ringke Fusion

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new Rearth Ringke Fusion case, as the name states, it is a Fusion (hybrid) case consisting of a hard, clear plastic back with a TPU bumper. This combination provides very good protection from scratches and drops. The main selling feature of this case is the clear back, which allows you to see the etched glass pattern on your Nexus 4 (which we all love!). It does pick up scratches and fingerprints, as hard plastic does. The ports and cutouts are precise but the power/volume rockers are a bit stiff for my preference.

Tank case armored case with kickstand

I picked up this generic case called Tank series, and it's a two-piece case with a outer hard plastic shell and a inner TPU layer. There's a kickstand attached to the back, works pretty well. The S5 feels pretty secure in this case, so I would trust this case if I dropped my phone to protect it well. Looks aren't the best but it is a rugged case and looks the part. For the price, I am happy with the amount of protection I get with this case.

eBay cases review

I will be reviewing two white cases that I bought for my aluminum Nexus 6P.
Ultra-thin Protective Shock-proof Soft Case Cover (First 5 photos)
Link: http://r.ebay.com/sNSxZC
Quality: This is a matte TPU. The cutouts for the headphone jack, camera, flash and laser autofocus are spot on. The volume and power buttons are covered but work well. It adds some thickness (1.5-2 mm) that I wasn't a fan of considering how large this phone is already. While this case should provide some drop protection, the bottom is mostly uncovered and therefore unprotected. The case overall very flimsy, has noticeable wiggle room, and actually comes off a little too easily.
Color/design: The camera bar is colored black on all the different color options. It also has a smoother texture than the rest of the case. There is a nice leather-like design down the middle, which really enticed me originally. The white looks great on the aluminum phone.
Feel: The case definitely adds grip (the white area has a rough Saffiano leather-like feel) but also bulkiness of a TPU case. Since it's so flimsy and not a snug fit, it doesn't give off a premium feel. I also don't like that the camera area is black personally.
Overall, I do not recommend this case.
Slim Frosted Matte Hard PC Case Cover (Last 4 photos)
Link: http://r.ebay.com/EDVjsi
Quality: This is essentially identical to the snap-on hard cases from Spigen and Ringke. The fit is very snug with perfect cutouts for all areas. The plastic used here is stiffer than the Kugi slim hard case, so you'll need a credit card to remove the case. The bottom of the case was chipped slightly--barely noticeable. Don't expect much drop protection, only scratch protection.
Color/design: I love snap-on cases so I am being biased here. However, the unique aspect of this case is that it doesn't have the sandpaper coating that some hard cases have, which is good since the white versions of those love to pick up stains. This case has a soft-touch rubber feel, which so far has failed to attract stains.
Feel: Wonderful to hold. Adds the much needed grip to the Nexus 6P. Note this case adds more grip than what Ringke and Spigen have offered in the past. It barely feels like you have a case on the phone since it adds barely any bulk. Also love that it has no silly branding anywhere.
Overall, I recommend this case for what you pay for is considerably lower than the branded versions.

Love my Ringke Fusion case but it's too much of a fingerprint magnet..

Seems like they only make these cases in that super shiny "crystal" plastic. I love how the Fusion fits the phone and how slim it is but still offering face down protection. Any other cases out that are close to the Fusion that comes in a matte plastic?

No-frills Diztronic-style matte black TPU case?

Is there a good alternative to Diztronic? The Spigen Rugged Armor and Liquid Air look a bit too bulky or stylized for my tastes. Thin Fit would've been perfect if the buttons were protected.
I need a no-nonsense case that doesn't feel cheap. What's out there? The Torras?
