Please check the size of the USB cutout for me...I have a palm pre usb cable that I use for work and want to see if I would have to take off the case before I can carge my phone.
Nice find.
Alright so just got the case and it looks great! It adds a bit of weight to the device but I know it is secure in the case. The buttons are easy to press. My only complaint is that I expected a little bit more of a lip.

Lol would love to but woke up to it gone, packaging and all. Apparently my other half liked it and kidnapped it. Will post pictures later if he brings it back.
Quick update tho. The volume and power buttons are pretty hard to press. Dont know if it just needs to be broken in or not. Also the case w a s suppose to be dual but it seens the two layers are stuck together.

Sorry guys, but it sounds like UAG has nothing to worry about. Added weight, hard to press buttons? From amazon pictures, inner layer looks bulkier and I wonder if its glued to outer shell rather than fused like in UAG? Just get the real thing

True, I haven't tried both. But the fact is that I have both N2 and S4 UAG cases in my hand, used N2 case in extreme situation for 6 months, and also have some experience with other cases (click on my signature link to see what I do on this forum). Oh, and also almost 2000x 4.75 star reviews of similar S3 UAG case on Amazon tells you something too. I write independent reviews of smart phone accessories, so can speak from some experience. If you are looking for something that resembles UAG industrial design, go ahead and save yourself $10 buying other look alikes. But if you want a quality of UAG case which I can voucher from personal experience and reading thousands of reviews from others - get the real thing. It's your money, your decision. I'm just here to offer my humble opinion since you posted a question in this forum
Sorry guys apparently one of his coworkers broke his own case and bought the white obliq one. Lol I guess thats better than having to return it for the uag one

I bought a UAG case and wouldn't buy one of these similar cases simply because I've owned UAG cases and know how good they are protection. Now maybe these similar cases are just as good but I'm happy with UAG. That being said, I can understand someone wanting to save some money and buying one of these cases. Hell some user posted this link on my UAG review and it looks even more like the UAG than the Obliq and it's cheaper, here's the link

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I recently purchased the white version of the Obliq Xtreme Pro S4 case and it arrived today, ahead of schedule by a few days, so I was already impressed right off the bat.
I was excited to use the case and took off my current screen protector (that came with a bundled accessory pack) and placed the new one on. The new screen protector was well above my expectations. I've never used anything more than a cheap screen protector that costs no more than a couple of bucks before on previous phones, but this one blows them all out of the water. It's thicker, but not too thick that you'd notice after application. Also, it was incredibly easy to install (I've had headaches installing screen protectors in the past).
After putting the case on I was thrilled at how great it looked (the white case with black accents on my black S4), only to discover that the buttons do not work very well (or in some cases not at all). When pressing the power button, you have to use excessive force to make it activate. Also, on the volume buttons, the "volume down" button seems to work without any problem, however no matter how hard I press the "volume up" button the phone will not recognize that it is being pressed at all. I have taken the case on and off numerous times to see if it is an alignment issue and after countless attempts I finally gave up.
I was looking forward to writing a great review for this phone, as I am otherwise very impressed with this case (especially for such an affordable price). However, with the buttons not functioning correctly I am afraid this is not going to suffice.
It looks like the majority of the reviews on Amazon do not report having these issues - so I am willing to give the product a second chance. I sent an e-mail to the seller and asked if they would issue my a replacement case. I will let you all know what they say. Does anyone else seem to be experiencing the same issues as myself?
Also - if anyone has any questions about the case feel free to ask.

It's hard to tell from the pictures on at&t's website, but the black one is black/GREY which is a deal breaker for me, pretty unattractive when you see the case from the front.
I'll wait for black/black to be in stock on amazon.

Given my job in public safety and my severe interest in mountain biking and snowboarding, the defender will manage my hobbies better than my HTC pouch.
I have the blue commuter case from AT&T's store. It's big, but worth it IMO. Wish they carried the black or at least gray version, but whatever. Zagg screen protector and Otterbox Commuter is a nice combo. I've already dropped it once though lol
My local AT&T store happened to have the Defender case in stock so I picked one up and they are really nice. I'm amazed at how much thinner Defender cases have gotten. I guess Otterbox decided to use their "new" silicone for the One X case and it has a lot of grip and doesn't seem to attract lint as much.
On the downside, while Otterbox makes great holsters, they decided to put two contact points on each side which makes it difficult for a quick release. Also, the built-in screen protector is still a bad idea.
Al in all, even with the high price and a couple little quirks it's a great case and will probably be my primary case.

For anyone who decides to remove the built-in screen protector, it seems like a simple operation. I went to cut it out but it just popped out and then I was able to remove the glue strip in one shot. See pic below:
Great pics! thx...
how much harder is it to get out of the holster now with the 2 contact points? Is it a real pain in the a$$?
could you take a picture of the other side so i know what the clip system looks like? would be awesome

The clips on the other side look exactly the same. I don't know why they didn't just use a "cradle" on one side with a single, centered clip on the other (like they usually have done before).
Just received my case. Very well put together minus the holster issues which I do not use but I do understand for those who do and pulling down the notification bar is tricky as the top is somewhat blocked by the gray front plastic part of the case. Other than that great case and happy I don't have to be paranoid about dropping my phone.

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.

i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

I really, really, really, want an official bumper. I check the google play store every day, several times per day, just in the off chance that bumpers will be available. In an effort to avoid smashing my Nexus 4 into millions of shards of glass, I purchased one of those S-cases floating around on ebay. I have to say this case is one of the most hideous things i've ever seen. It made my phone look like a cheap knockoff. In order to improve the aesthetics of said S-case, I decided to turn it into a bumper. I present you all my ghetto bumper. I'm starting to get really desperate, I'm tempted to pay outrageous ebay prices for a real one. (sorry this is mostly a rant)

I kept the volume rocker covers on and cut out the power button. It definitely works better without the power button cover.

Hey guys, I just recieved this case that I bought from ebay and since I've found it so pleasent to use and to look at, I decided to share my impressions with you, so here we go. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I took a bunch since when I look for a review I want plenty of captures.
Starting off, the case is worth 8 USD and I bought it from ebay. I got it shipped for 4 extra box.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370726530130?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Starting with the case itself, its made from a hard plastic cover, wich as you can see is coloured red, its smooth at touch but it has some sort of texture on it wich you can't really feel but its there. The borders are made from some kind of tpu plastic wich is totally flexible and I have to say it has a very premium feeling on it, and the back itself has the same feeling of being a nice material that looks and feels incredible.

There are cutouts for the camera, speaker and microphones, and there's also a small cutout that follows the earpiece's shape. Off course, you still get access to your headphone jack as well as the micro usb port.
The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press ).
Regarding protection wise, I've been using this case for just 2 days and I haven't dropped my device since then but I'm sure its gonna do well. The borders slightly cover the front of the screen and since they are made to absorb the impact if it lands front-faced and the back is a hard plastic wich its gonna protect it if it lands back-sided.
What about the feeling using it? Well, the phone feels very secure when placed into the case, it doesn't add to much bulk to it to be honest, it's clearly not one of the skinniest out there but it isn't that bulky either. It doesn't add to much weight neither. It's very comfortable to hold to say the least.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with my purchase, since it is very cheap for a case that for my taste it's quite handsome and well made.
Feel free to say if you liked this little review wich I never thought I'd do.

I think it's pretty clear in the pictures, isn't it?. As you can see it offers a little bit of distance between the concrete and your screen if it falls on it, so your screen should be safe from hitting the ground.

Looks amazing, just wish they had it in Amazon... It reminds me of the SGP Ultra Hybrid, or a nicer Ringke Fusion...

Could you please post some pictures of it?
I personally don't care as much as most crybabies that chose a phone over the other because one is made of uni-body aluminum and the other of poly-carbonate, i like function over fashion. I prefer an SD and removable battery vs a phone cold to the touch. The HTC one is pretty sexy, but it lacks all the experience Samsung has crafted into the Galaxy line.
Anyways, i'm not here to debate this, i'm here to offer a solution to the ones that complain. Buy a brushed aluminum door. Since the front is glass, you now only have a plastic bezel, all the rest is high quality material. I bought one of these off ebay for under 5$, i didnt buy it to have a more solid feeling, i bought it because i'm not a big fan of the fake texture samsung put into the S4.

I could imagine these might interfere with radio signal
First off why are you even defending this. Its just a phone. Nobody will care for this thread with this title. You could have easily posted this in the case or accessories thread OR in the Htc one forum . Get off the s4 nutz and let people have their opinion, and don't let it get to you because in reality it doesn't even affect you about how they feel or think. Or does it... im just sick of these threads cluttering the s4 forum. Still amazed people still let it get to them. Did Samsung hire you?
You can say nobody cares, but the fact is you spend a few minutes replying to this thread so that shows the exact opposite.
The reason for me posting this is a lot of threads that talk about the GS4 have people in it who, for some reason, always bring back the fact that the GS4 is plastic and is cheaper because of that, i personally think people should change disk because there are so many alternatives that will fit anybody's needs.
Second of all, i'm not defending anything, i'm just suggesting people an alternative to a problem they might have. If anything, this post affected you more than anything for such an aggressive response.
And as for the interference, I've had a brushed aluminum door on my GS3 since 2 weeks after launch, it didn't seem to affect much. I've always had the same signal with or without the door.
And no, i don't work for Samsung, but i can tell you i'd love to work for them because they rock!!

This will block the NFC. I would know cuz I had one for my S3. But if you dont care about NFC, then this is your best bet.

Is the signal and the internet still strong after installing this back cover?

Im holding the s4 in my hand and typing this. It does not feel cheap to me at all. Never the less in the interest of protection im getting a aluminium bumper. Really hope dracodesign does one soon. Those bumpers are really sexy. for now this is what I have ordered. http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...-s4/casefanatic-metal-bumper-for-galalaxy-s4/

Is there any truth to this? Would the metal back ACTUALLY effect the signal and NFC?? Alluminum is not exactly "highly conductive" and phones like the HTC One we have all heard so much about, are made almost completely from aluminum. . .
I would like to see a higher quality photo or video of the black battery door.
The only thing I don't about the S4 is the glossy finish to the original battery door.

Yeah these are pretty slick. If I hadn't already spent a grip on cases I would probably think about one of these.
As far as the hostility in this thread I think it stems from the title. If you wanted less angst you could have titled it something along the lines of "Cool Aluminum S4 Case" instead of the "crybabies". Just sayin.
I wonder if this would fit the I9505 as well? as far as I know there's no structural differences between the two.

The only real difference between the I9505 and the I9500 is the processor. Physically they are the same.

I had an Inspire 4G before my S4, and while I don't think I'd say the S4 feels cheap in comparison, it definitely feels fragile in comparison. I don't have a case yet either, and without one, it feels like something that you could snap in half if you sat on it by accident. On the otherhand, I'm pretty sure my 4G could survive being thrown at a brick wall by Aroldis Chapman.
Few questions if y'all don't mine answering
On the metal blackcover
Does the phone heat up any more than usual?
Can you verify NFC doesn't work?
Does the cover add any thickness?
Do you think the metal back cover will work with the metal bumper?
Thanks for your time

If the case is made of read aluminium, NFC should NOT work, it can't.
Now the wifi/signal etc are a different story, they shouldn't be affected, and if they are, it should be minimal.
The HTC one has two plastic stripes on the back, above the radios.

1. No

The NFC antenna in the One is hidden in the same spot as the rear camera.
