My mom wants me to get a case ASAP because she doesn't want me to break my phone but I have no clue which case to get.
I don't want anything bulky, but something that can protect my phone well, maybe not as good as a otterbox but still protective.
And I'm looking for a case that has a good white design to match my white frost S4.
Can you guys recommend me some good cases?
Thanks in advance!
Oh and I've seen a couple that I like but there isn't any feedback on them.
Here they are:
http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Samsung-Galaxy-Premium/dp/B00BSXXOC4 (not enough protection)
http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-neo-hybrid.html (some people say its bulky and feels weird)
If you guys have any of those two above, can you please leave your opinion on them!
I would recommend either the Urban Armor Case or an Otterbox Commuter. The UAG being the slimmer one but they both give excellent protection. Some people might think they are bulky but to me bulky is like the Otterbox Defender or the Cygnett WorkMate.

They look like they can survive a lot of drops lol, but its a little to bulky from the looks of it but thanks I'll keep this case in mind!
What? The Neo Hybrid is in no way bulky. The first link you posted should provide sufficient protection unless you're going to be dropping the phone everday.
The neo hybrid isn't bulky, but it does add a little thickness to the phone. I got used to it quickly though.

I would say the most noticeable for me has been the overall width i.e. from left to right.
Definitely a beautiful case. Just had a lengthy phone conversation and the added width did make it a bit uncomfortable to hold.

The neo hybrid is a fantastic case.
Only drawback is that the holes do the charge port and the headphone socket are so precisely engineered that they only take the original Samsung parts.

Just got my white neo hybrid case. Love it on my white s4. Didnt have a problem with my other chargers in the house like everyone seems to be experiencing. Only grip (not sure if its just mine) is the power and volume buttons. They seem very stiff and cant tell if im pressing them or not. Hopefully they just need to be broken in.

Are you guys experiencing difficulty while pressing the volume keys and power button on the neon case? I know that the post above me stated it. I'm bout to order that one because from what I've read, it seems pretty nice! Does it add any weight? Because I love the light weight of my phone!

My buttons on my neo hybrid are clicky. No difficulty pressing them here. It is fairly light weight.
As I stated earlier the only noticeable thing for me has been the increased width of the phone. I guess if the outer band recessed a bit more into the tpu case it would feel a bit better. Not a deal breaker though.
Sent from my SGH-M919
Did a bit of reading around I'm seeing/reading nothing but praise for the Neo-Hybrid. Decided to go with the Dante Red for my White S4 =3.
I'm going with the white version of the case! Thanks for helping me decide guys!
Oh and i have another question about the neo hybrid case. Can any headphones fit in the microphone port? Like the end of my headphones, it doesn't go straight out, it goes to the side. Not sure how to explain it
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I had the Neo Hybrid and sent it back next day, did not like it at all.
Got a Incipio DualPro in black now and love it. Looks nice, buttons nice and responsive (Neo Hybrid was way to responsive, the lightest touch and the volume was going up/down..), ports big enough to support all usb/audio cables and adds a decent amount of protection without being overly bulky (imo).
Will probably change to the Incipio OVRMLD once its released.

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:

UPS just dropped this off 5 minutes ago. My first impression is that this is the best case for the gs4 for people who want a cover style case. This is the case that Samsung should have made for the gs4. It definitely mimics the curves of the gs4 very well. It has generous port openings that looks to even fit third party adapters. It also has the it blaster port opening. The headphone opening fits all of my headphones such as the vmoda m100, audeo phonak pfe232 and velodyne vpulse. The hinge is made of plastic but this case definitely feels high quality.

Yes you can fold it back all the way. The screen on the case exposes the camera. If you want the camera totally unblocked, then hold the cover halfway open.

Got the black one yesterday and loved the way it looked but shipped it back immediately. I thought "smooth black" would actually feel smooth but instead its kind of rough and almost sticky. Dust and lint immediately stuck to it before I even got the chance to pocket it. The texture was similar to the way the inner casing of otterboxes used to be (after enough complaints about dust and lint sticking to it they finally changed the material to a smoother, more dust free material).
Based on the reviews it seems like that white model is different? If so I may go for that instead. Otherwise the case is pretty slick.

Mine gathers a lil lint but its not nearly as bad as the silicone from otterbox cases or untreated silicone. It wipes off very easily.

Received it today; first impressions...it fits like a glove, but it's easy to put on.
The silicone is the inner shell so it doesn't attract any dust. The plastic outside shell has a nice texture and isn't slippery. The only rubber parts which can be seen are the"enforced"edges, which serve the purpose of protection and makes sure that your screen never touches anything when laid down on its face and a narrow ring around the screen. The case however doesn't have covers for the ports(usb, camera, headphone and speakers) I had the idea that it would come with a screen protector, but my dead brain cells must have misunderstood the description. It comes however with a protective cover which also serves as a stand. It feels sturdy and with it on, your note is well protected, it makes however quite heavy like a brick.
The "phone"still fits in my hand, but that is without the cover attached.
All in all I'm quite satisfied with this case it will protect my note well and the design is not too shabby either.
I'll give y'all an update in two weeks.
Cheers my friends.

thanks for sharing your impressions and the pictures. i am very tempted to pick one of these up myself. I got a simple/cheap flip case to hold me over temporarily, but to be quite frank, I am too damn clumsy not to invest in more serious protection for my electronic devices.
Note 8 is my first case, so was curious how such a sturdy case felt on the device. Ballistic basically won over my loyalty two smartphone ago...had the equivalent case on my Atrix, and one day while running to catch a bus my phone fell out of my pocket and when flying, slammed into the asphalt of the highway/street i was running across hard enough to bounce three times and make it halfway back towards the other side of the street. I was horrified, went to retrieve it... not one single scratch, not one sign that anything had happened, just nothing. Those massive corners do their job, is all I have to say...
Hoping the case for this device is as reliable.
I can highly recommend this case, after two weeks of using, it has been nothing but good to my sweet note. The case and the stand feel sturdy, and when the note is my bag, the cover protects the screen...good stuff and a hell of a lot cheaper than the otter box.

When you put the cover on the back, the hole is a cutout for the camera.

Has anyone noticed the case puts too much pressure on the back of the tablet. This is causing white spots to appear on the screen. Looks like LCD mura, but goes away when you take the case off. I've sent Ballistic an email, maybe mine is defective.

During sound playback you can tell a difference from not having the case in but it's not a huge let down like it was with my iPhone 5 Life Proof. As far as voice feedback in the ear goes it does take the noise canceling a second to catch up so on the first ring or so it sounds distorted but it quickly fixes itself. It's not making calls or listening to music. No more opening the bottom hatch to make sure someone can hear me. And as far as the plastic cover goes if you're meaning a screen protector like invisible shield then it will fit. They provide you an optional screen protector to put on (I used it). I do intend on investing in a better one later, probably Ghost Armor. Lmk if you have anything else

Why can't they make the whole phone water proof? Oh... They can. If they can send the space shuttle to the moon with the computing power less than my Moto Droid they can make it water proof damnit lol

Thank you, and I'm asking if you think a tempered glass screen protector would fit on there with the case and still seal? I have the mime feather glass on my phone and its very thin for a glass protector, not much thicker than the usual plastic ones.

I just purchased the version without a screen protector built in. The nuud I believe. I have a Mime glass protector (not the thinnest one, but the one with rounded edges) and it fits. Now, I havent tested it because Im not going to submerge my phone just to find out on purpose, BUT it appears to fit and seal normally. ill try to get some pics for you later when I get off work,
Short answer, yes it fits.....

The Obex is good at waterproofing. It's got some cons tho. I reckon the LifeProof will be less bulky. The Obex makes the notification bar hard to pull down cuz it covers the part above the screen. I don't really like the plastic screen protector of the Obex case also. But it's still a good case to consider!

I'm not to happy with my obex anymore. The screen protector is pretty crappy, the case scratches fairly and the colored parts get dirty. I had it on for a while and I'm very careful with my phone and its all marked up case and screen protector. And the protecter isn't that clear either. Yeah it's good that tue case is scratched and not the phone but my otterbox commuter has been on my phone for a lot longer and still looks good.
