Hard to find in the United states. Only found some on amazon. I wish I could find them locally. I heard t mobile stores carry them but I haven't stopped to look yet. I also want to buy one

Does this have a lip for screen down protection?? I have a slim armor and it barely has a lip on it.

I have the tech21 D3O flip cover case. The inner lining is soft and good for the case in case of drops and the leather flap has a soft surface to protect the screen. There's plastic tabs all around the side of the case to protect the phone except on the buttons. Cut-outs are where they need to be and the back case is raised to keep the camera from scratching and muffling the speaker.
Just be careful with the case you get. I got my case from t-mobile. I got my first one and I noticed that the top left corner did not sit right on the phone. In due time it began to crack and give way. After turning the case in and replacing it for a second one, it now fits perfect and there are no cracks.

I've had the impact mesh case for over a month now. I ordered from Amazon and I got it within 15 days. It's a very nice case, even though I dislike the color (found out they have a dark blue color instead of this smokey one).

Well it's pliable when holding it, but rigid once on the phone. Think of it as a gel case: it's thick, yet thin (mind blowing, trust me); and it has great grip (almost like rubber).

I'd personally get the dark blue case. I'm not a big fan of the brown mesh with orange lol. The dark blue seems to make the case completely black with blue/purple accents. I'll probably be ordering it one day soon lol.
Btw, like Tech21 says, the case rises above the screen by a millimeter. Sometimes it feels like if it isn't risen at all lol.

A case is a case. Any case at all will provide some amount of protection but there's no perfect solution. It does feel amazing on the phone when holding holding it. And it looks good. I like it a lot so far.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I just picked up this case today. I have a white s4 so I got the clear maze pattern with the orange bumper. Absolutely looks sick, I'll post pics tomorrow. The case adds hardly any thickness. However the 3do bumper is a bit thicker. However from what I've seen and read its well worth an extra mom or so.
There is a small lip to protect the face when placed on a table. Fits very tight and pretty confident it won't fall off in the case of a drop. I like the way the case feels in hand. The tpu gives it a great grip. The poetic atmosphere and slim armor i have are quite slippery when you hold the phone and place it down.
I'll upload pics asap.

Well from the looks of it, this is the case that a lot of people have been waiting for. Judging from the pictures, it appears to be made of TPU for the front lip and bezel area, but what makes this case special is the back of the case is hard transparent plastic. The perfect way to show off the awesome backside of the N4 without sacrificing protection! To me it literally looks like my Diztronic TPU case with a plastic back side. The case is listed as "coming soon" , and here is the link:

I own that exact case. I really really like it and my only complaint as with most white cases its starting to get a Lil yellow tint on the corners of it all the way around. But I work in a refinery so its mostly my fault.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
The case looks PIMP. Thanks OP !!
this is the perfect case!
Waited for this sort of case for a long time and will definitely get it. But the one thing I suspect is, like current crystal clear hard plastic cases, the back will likely stick to any sort of rear protector and cause the sticky wet look.
I like this one. Not a fan of the clear back material but it will probably feel better in hand. Thanks op

Even hard plastic can stick to rear protectors if it's of the glossy, "crystal clear" variant that is extremely easy to scratch, which is what I'm assuming this one will end up having. I know because I had a crystal clear case before on my Nexus 4, and the reason I got rid of it was because it stuck to my rear Spigen protector (it was also just cheaply made and had tons of stress cracks upon arrival).
If it had a matte frosted clear back, then it wouldn't stick. But it'd also block the glittering effect, making it no different than the other generic TPU/clear back hybrid cases already on Ebay.
Ive emailed them about an estimated eta and what materials its made out of.

rubberized?
I'm interested in a bumper as well but I'd prefer a rubber one, similar to the one iPhone 4 got after the Antennagate scandal.
RE: Aluminium Bumper
I just received mine after ordering it last week and it fits pretty well. Looks a few nano-meters off at some places and build quality i'd put at 8.5/10 but for a bumper under $15 i'd say go for it.
Also i got the silver brushed aluminium one and based on the design quality, id say the blue one would get scuffed pretty easily.
Hope this helped...if it did you know where the thanks button is :cyclops:

I ordered and received three different ones from Amazon:
rooCASE
Photive Hybrid
Poetic
All three of these are EXACTLY the same. No difference at all. So, if you want one of these, order the cheapest one.
I also ordered a couple others, which have not yet been received:
Case Square
KaysCase
I hope that these other two will be softer. The top ones are harder plastic.
UPDATE - These two are a little softer, but both have a cutout on one of the corners for a strap, which makes damage more likely if you drop it. I've stuck with the first models above, and been happy. One thing I especially like is that these bumpers aren't slick, so they very slightly stick in your pocket, making it so that they won't fall out unless you pull them out - nice.
With my S2 I used to have the Neo Hybrid EX bumper, and that was the perfect bumper - silicone inside, harder plastic outside. Spigen didn't make this for the S3, so we probably won't see it for the S4 either, unfortunately.
i ordered the grey Aluminum one last night. ill be lucky to get it in like 3 weeks. haha

It's a minimal dual layer, I have one for my gs3, as well as an otterbox. The otterbox has more protection but you gain mass and heft. I like the incipio because it is slim but still offers good protection
I actually had this one on my phone and was paying for it in the store but I scrubbed the purchase before I could even check out. I think it looks really nice and will probably give good drop protection, but the flimsy silicone would drive me crazy. When you push the side buttons the silicone would buckle. The silicone in the top and bottom didn't fit snugly. JMO. Like I said I looked the way it looked. It was the brushed aluminum dual pro shine with black silicone. Just not snug enough of a fit for me.

I have had this case on my S4 since I got the phone thru verizon, about 10 days . Black on black. I wanted a slim case with decent drop protection. This was a good compromise. The soft inner core does over lap on to the front of the screen a bit, wich is good as I can lay the phone face down without damaging the screen. The soft rubber inner core does attract lint where it is exposed, but I expected that.
so far I am happy with the case. But, I have not dropped it .....yet...:laugh:

Just wanted to show off the OEM case that Samsung sells on their website. This was $21 on amazon with prime, or $29 on samsung.com ($14.99 with the 50% off coupon). Looks great, fits great, and is listed as able to fit with the galaxy multimedia dock with case on. Buttons feel great and case comes on and off very easy. The white backing is a matte pearl white and all the cutouts are perfect.
the white case looks really great with the white phone, you almost cant tell its a case
thanks for the pictures! will be picking one up today in white :good:
it's a nice case but I think I rather have just a bumper the back makes it look awkward even though it tries to mimic the original rear cover...

I have the black leather d band skin and a poetic black bumper. Looks great. Prevents scratches. I rarely drop my phone, and when I have I felt the bumper defiantly helped from scuffing up the sides. I hate cases. Hopefully the n5 will not be do fragile, so in can go naked like I normally do.

all though the bumper will add width to the device.. if you have small hands it might be an issue, like it did for me lol. Ive been wanting to try the poetic bumper but cant seem to find on amazon nor ebay, the color i want that is.
Also, the back is not drop protected with the dbrand skin, even tho you wont see it if its cracked either. So its a win win
