I know, I know...please not another "which should I choose?" thread...I get tired of them too.With that being said, the topic pretty much tells the tale. I'll clarify for those willing to give their input: I've narrowed my choice of cases down to these two (PureGear DualTek Extreme and UAG Navigator) based on my personal preferences, but I have no experience with either company nor their products...This is where you come in. I'm not asking you to necessarily tell me which one I should choose or shouldn't choose, but I would like to hear how YOUR experience has been with either of these companies or these cases. Any and all input is welcomed!
Thanks in advance for your participation.
I had a Dualtek Extreme case for my Razr Maxx and after about a week of collecting massive pocket lint the corner bumpers started falling off. I only had the case for about 2 weeks cause after the bumpers fell off it looked really silly. (A very heavy duty case but minus bumpers you ahve gaping holes on all four corners.)
I just ordered a GS4 and am kicking around the UAG or the Spigen SlimArmor case. (Leaning more towards UAG cause I like the look and the large built in corner bumpers.)
Never tried the puregear case, but rocked the Uag case on my S3, and right now I have the black uag case for my S4 and just ordered the white one as well. Highly recommend Uag. Great protection, durable, not bulky, and their customer service is awesome. I put up a review of the uag case if you want to check it out

I ordered this:
http://www.amazon.com/Ionic-GUARDIA...qid=1369920767&sr=8-6&keywords=galaxy+s4+case
I've had it for a day now and I am really happy with it. The price is more than fair (IMO). Protection is excellent since it is a 2 stage cover (Silicon-Plastic).
The front of the device is protected meaning you can place your phone face down.
And finally it looks great.
I am a casual user. I want a case that is well-built, will last long, gives adequate protection, yet does not add much bulk. Originally, I liked the Neo Hybrid, but after some more research, I read that it is not very well-built as the outer layer breaks at the USB cable port.
I don't usually drop my phone, but it happens. I'd like the case to be aesthetically pleasing too.
Thanks.
Also, what case colors would go well with a black S4?
I too was disappointed with the neo hybrid. The style is awesome but with it breaking at the thin spot above the USB port and the color flaking off is a big issue. Sad too that the customer service is one of the worst in the industry.
I have been looking for something like it but haven't made my mind up yet.

I'm using the samsung protective cover + now. I like the way it feels in the hand a lot more than the neo hybrid case
I have the spigen slim aromor and its awesome!! I just got a poetic atmosphere from Amazon and will be rocking that for a while!!
It was 9 bucks, super thin and has a nice lip for face down screen protection. Looks sick on my white s4!!

I'm on the hunt as well. I might still get the NEO though. I've only seen a couple people complain about the brake point and you never know how hard people are on there phones.
The others I'm thinking about:
UAG - Might be too bulky and "industrial" looking though. Has reviews on xda.
supcase - I'm not sure if I like the style, but I don't think it will be very bulky. Has reviews on xda.
puregear dualtek - I think the fat corners might be too bulky on this one, but gets good-ish reviews on amazon
obliq xtreme pro - kinda like a mix of the spigen armor and the uag.... still might be too industrial for me though. Has reviews on xda.
acase Acase makes some decent stuff for the price... I've owned an acase before for a tablet. This kinda looks like an incipio clone.
cruzerlite - cheap and has good amazon reviews.... might have reviews on xda... I can't remember.
I'm very much leaning towards the NEO. I'll buy it w/ a credit card (credit cards add a year extension to your warranty, did you know that?) through amazon. If I have any issues w/ it and spigen doesn't respond, I'll go through those channels (which are pretty fast).
If there is a spigen father's day sale this weekend... I'll get the NEO... otherwise I may not.
Whats your thoughts?
Yea the neo hybrid is very nice I have it on my phone. I was gonna get an otterbox but it added way to much bulk.

Their customer service is awesome as well. I'll probably a customer for life. :thumbup:

If you want no bulk, you can go for PARFITI case.
Tunewear also gets some slim cases.
see what colors you want.
I am more into eye catching color. So I have ordered one from PARFITI. Awaiting to it
Go for a UAG case, they are awesome protection and don't add too much bulk. The Spigen cases look nice (slim armor and neo hybrid) but I don't think they offer much protection against drops. I have the Slim Armor and never used it as I feel I will crack my screen if I drop my phone screen first. Uag highly recommended by me
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
I think people are obsessed with protection.
I just received the Neo Hybrid and it seems to be a perfect armor. At least, for a daily protection. Actually, for me it's too thick: the bumper is like 3mm while in the front and back it's just 0,8mm, which is perfect because it makes the screen and the camera not to touch any surface.

try on of them in the list at the link.. Otter are very good case company their case comes
with 1 year warranty coverage too!
I love my otterbox commuter I have it in white with my white s4 best all around case.

Are there keyboard flip cases out there?
just posted this in its own thread but you should check it out
I originally bought the Neo Hybrid myself, and I really liked the looks and size, but the one fault I couldn't look over was that it didn't fit my favorite gym headphones. I would've kept the case if it wasn't for that.
I went with the Slim Armor. It adds slightly more bulk thickness wise, but it's actually a little less wide. Not sure if it was because of the color combination of the Neo Hybrid (dante red), but the Slim Armor (metal slate) actually looks smaller.
Seems that it's pretty common for people to buy multiple cases, so I was wondering which ones you've purchased and which one is your favorite?
I have 3 cases.....
Spigen Neo-Hybrid .....(Good looking, good edge protection, heart rate sensor very difficult to use)
UAG Aero .....(Great protection all around, uncomfortable to hold and bulky in pocket)
Diztronic TPU black .....(Bland, moderate protection, slim and feels good in the hands)
I have to say, I prefer the Diztronic. It's the lowest profile of the three, and is the most comfortable to hold. Of course it doesn't offer the good looks of the Spigen, or the ruggedness of the UAG, but it's the one I'm rolling with for now. I have a Samsung protective cover coming Monday, so I'll have to see how that one goes before declaring Diztronic the winner.

Cases I have or have tried:
Spigen Neo hybrid
Spigen Air cushioned bumper
Spigen Tough armor
Spigen Slim armor
Verus Iron shield
Verus Crystalmixx
Body glove satin tpu
Otterbox commuter
Caseology bumper frame
Slim armor for me. Most comfortable to hold, looks good, has kickstand and offers good protection. Not for everyone, but it for the bill for me. Between that and a Caseology carbon fiber bumper case.

I have 4 cases. Ringke fusion in clear, spigen capsule, terrapin tpu and just got the caseology tpu drop protection. I like the caseology most, just wish the buttons are covered then it would have been perfect for me. Don't really like bulky cases. Oh yeah I bought the spigen new Capella and end up returning it. That thing is too bulky and buttons are hard to press not to mention it scratch my phone, it was hard to get my phone in and out. Regret putting my phone in it.
I have two cases - the black Diztronic and a blue Samsung Protective Cover. I use the Samsung because: it looks better; it feels better in my hand; and the Diztronic tended to get oily fingerprints on it. I really like the Samsung case and will stick with it.

How is the caseology tpu as far as finish? Is it gloss or matte? Stiffer like the spigens or soft like a jelly cover? Thanks in advance.
sent from my Samsung GALAXY Note® 4
I currently have:
Ringke Fusion
Spigen Capsule
Spigen Neo Hybrid
Spigen Slim Armour
I-Blason Unity Series case
Overall I think I like the Spigen Capsule the most. The grey color is nice and it's slim but offers decent protection. The Spigen Slim Armour is one if the thicker cases but feels great in the hand due to the sides being rounded off.I suspect my favorite case will be the Verus Iron Shield that just I ordered [emoji2]

It's glossy and has shimmer but not very obvious and yeah it's more stiff than the spigen capsule. Spigen capsule feels like rubber tpu while caseology feels like a little bit of hardness for a tpu. Both are great quality just depends of the persons preference I guess.
I have the red samsung protective case and I have to admit that it is excellent, the fit is perfect and in hand it feels perfect

I have the Spigen Tough Armor and love it.
I first brought spigen ultra hybrid mint. Switch to clear version after the mint part turn black. Then i brought blue jelly tpu and sold off clear ultra hybrid. Brought 0.3mm clear using it for long time. Sold off blue jelly.
Brought mercury skyblue jelly case. Use it one day dump into chute. Too sticky and slippery. Made note 4 sticky too. After abit of wiping back to 0.3 mm clear tpu.
So using 0.3mm clear tpu now.

I have 4 cases:
BodyGlove Satin: Decent case, good feel in the hands a bit bulkier than I like. It does have an excellent grip. Sometimes volume and power keys are hard to get to and the opening for the USB cable is too small. Some of my cords were "large" and bulged out the case.
Caseology Bumper frame, metallic mesh silver: Very bulky, looks great, just too big for my taste.
Diztronic TPU case: Great fit, feels good in the hands, although seems a bit too thin for me.
Samsung-Blue: Now this is my favorite. I get the slimness of the diztronic but feels a bit more rugged.
Hopefully this will end my case buying frenzy for a while
Ringke Slim - It used to be my daily driver. Really nice rubbery texture and is very slim.
Caseology TPU - Plastic, toy like feel. It bends really well and its slightly bulkier than the Ringke Slim.
J&D Slim - Slim as the Ringke but doesn't protect the top or bottom. It's slightly more slippy (not a strong grip) than the Ringke Slim.
Spigen Neo Hybrid - Offers great protection and nice metal buttons. Way too bulky for me to hold.
Bear Motion Ultra Slim - My daily driver. The most slim, minimal protection case that doesn't cover the top or bottom. The texture feels very similar to the OnePlus One Sandstone Black. Very smooth and soft texture. The case doesn't have that 'slippery' texture. I'm considering buying additional colors.
Spigen slim armor
Speck candyshell grip
Fake leather pouch for going case-less
All are good. I love going G case-less, but I'm usually too nervous and rough to always do that. Candyshell grip is an awesome daily driver. Probably the best all around. Slim armor looks great, but scratched metal edges and it's much bulkier.

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

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 wondering how many cases people have for their 6p and which ones they rock on a daily basis. How many is too much ?
Have 3 at the moment but thinking of sending the neo hybrid ex back as I also have a speck candyshell grip and a supcase unicorn hybrid slim. I am thinking of picking up a leather sleeve or nice folio or perhaps a supcase pro which I had for my G3 and it kept that phone in pristine condition.

True, it feels nice naked, but I'm just so paranoid about dropping it without a case on lol. I've never been worried before as they have always been contract phones, and basically paying like £15-25 a month with your minutes and data. But this is the first one I have bought outright and simply because of the way it looks and its overall design and I actually like the camera hump at the back and think its one of the more unique looking designs out there. The fact that it is a beast in size and performance also helped sway the decision

I haven't dropped the 6P yet but I dropped phones with the Spigen cases in the past and they always showed no signs of damage and they protect the phone very well. They are made to withstand impacts on the corners. They call it "air cushion technology."

They sure do look good and if they hold up and protect the phone, then I might keep the neo hybrid. I just can't see myself using it anymore though, after having bought the candyshell, but I'll see how it goes.
If you don't mind, could you let me know what kind of pouch you're using? I looked at this one and it does look good:

Yeah I thought about getting the rugged armor and may still do in the future but for the time being I have sent the neo hybrix ex back. It's a really nice case and I liked the finish on it, but the side with the button started coming loose and left a bit of a gap (which seems to be a common issue from what I've read on this forum) and simply couldn't justify paying £16 for it to start doing that after 2 weeks use. The candyshell grip is the one I am rocking on a daily basis now and I have to say is an excellent case. I hear you about the accessories and covers in the shopping basket, I will be buying a leather folio and a leather pouch and a few more cables me thinks.
i just have the Supcase slim. Id recommend this case because it protected my nexus from a 5ft drop right on its back! But im looking for a good flip case!
