Non smooth case - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

I'm looking for a slim case that is non smooth. I have the Neo Hybrid which is a good case but it slides out of my hands a lot. Need a case with a little grip on the sides. Any suggestions?

I have the Diztronic case, feels great in hand, never feel as if I'm going to drop it like I did naked or with the Neo hybrid case.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

Can someone help me? Looking for a VERY THIN and DURABLE case

Can anyone suggest a case similar to:
Casemate's Barely There
I have tried ordering this case off 7 websites and the main Casemate website and EVERY SINGLE site is OUT OF STOCK.
What should I do?
Is the Incipio Feather a good solid case? As good as the Barely There?
should be a case? if it's very thin, bestskinever is good.
I like my Boxwave Crystal Clear, it doesn't hide the Nexus beauty, it's thin, but I'd like to think it's protective.
It's a soft rubbery case.. Not a hard case, not a silicone case...
Seidio Innocase II.
I thought the Innocase II was a thicker phone case.
I was looking for something like the Barely There.
Has anyone on here tried the Boxwave Snap Fit Shell?
got it
went on a lil nexus one shopping spree:
got the
- Boxwave Snap-Fit Shell in Jet Black - 24.99
- Barely There Metallic -22.99
- CaseMate ID Case (was on sale 9.99)
- Seidio Innodock Jr Desktop Cradle
I am going to post a video review of all this.

Recommend a Case Please!!

Im looking for a case that def adds protection but not as much as an otterbox beings I will be adding a Glass screen protector. I also want it to be pretty grippy not so much where it attracts every piece of lent in my pocket but I don't think I want a Neo-hybrid because from looking at the backs of those they just look very slippery and even though I rarely drop my phone now. I feel awkward holding it because the back of the s4 case is so slippery and I always feel like I'm gonna drop it. I was thinking of maybe the I-Blaston dual prime or the Seidio Surface...any other suggestions??
Thanks again!!:laugh:
The Seidio Surface is a solid choice. If you want to try a TPU case, I recommend Diztronic. The Incipio Dual-Pro is pretty good too though thicker than the other two I just listed (but not nearly as thick as an Otterbox).
Have you looked at Spigen's offerings since you are already getting a Glas.t screen protector. They do make some great cases. I like OB cases, but they do add bulk and the trade off is tough to live with at times.

Multiple case buyers, which one do you like the best?

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.

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.

Spigen Neo Hybrid, or Otterbox Commuter?

Which case would you put your trust into more?
I currently have the Spigen which I could take back for $15, and I have an Otterbox on the way that I spent $5 through coupons on which I can sell for $25.
But I don't care about money, I only care about which one you think will be best for my phone.
This is the second phone I've bought an Otterbox Commuter for. I love the Commuter's styling and protection and wouldn't buy anything else.
Commuter.i had to the hybrid but the commuter is way better
I have the neo hybrid cc and I love it. I love the fact that it's clear so you can show off the beauty of the phone. It's is very slim and has quite a bit of rubber material around the entire edge which seems to provide total coverage. I haven't dropped it yet, but I feel confident that I'll be good to go if I did. I also advise getting a tempered glass screen protector with this case. It will fit just inside the edges, leaving only a tiny gap around the edge. Hope this helps.
I have the spigen neo hybrid. Dropped the phone twice already? and
Still as it was when it came out of the box..?
The Otterbox Commuter has my vote.
I have the Neo Hybrid CC case and I love it. It adds very little bulk and yet the phone feels secure. I haven't dropped it yet *knock on wood* but it feels like it (the phone) would be OK if I did.
Personal opinion on the look of the Commuter case (and Otterbox cases in general) … This is a stunning phone. Probably the one of if not the nicest Android devices ever. Why would you put it in such a bulky, unattractive case? I mean, unless you work in construction, or have a history of dropping phones like crazy.
Otterbox Commuter
The otterbox commuter is just a tougher case.
I've trusted my phones to otterbox for 3 years now. Never had a broken phone through multiple drops including high speed fumbles that end up skittering across a concrete floor. Even stepped on my phone once with no damage.
Speck CandyShell
Sorry for not answering with Otterbox or Spigen but please hear me out.
I purchased an S4 on launch day 2 years ago and immediately had it in a Spigen Neo Hybrid. I used the Neo Hybrid for several months then switched to an Otterbox commuter which I used until getting the S6.
Between the S4 Neo Hybrid and Otterbox Commuter I felt like the Neo Hybrid looked better but the Otterbox Commuter was more durable.
I purchased a Spigen Neo Hybrid CC for my S6 when it was on Slickdeals discount code for $6.00
I used it for a few days and tried to like it but it just didn't compare to the Speck CandyShell case that I got for my wife's IPhone 6. The Speck CandyShell is a one part case.
I picked up a Speck CandyShell white and black and it will likely be the case I use for the next 2 years. When you put it on the phone it seriously makes the case feel like part of the phone.
The quality is great and it feels like it will protect the phone better than the Neo Hybrid CC. My brother has the base version of the Spigen Neo Hybrid on his S6 and the first thing he said when he felt my case was that he should have gotten it instead.
One downside to the case is that the power button and volume buttons are in the rubberized portion of the case exterior and do not provide the crisp feel of the metalized buttons on the Neo Hybrid case.
Another downside is that the back plastic shows small scratches easily. They do offer a grip version which has rubberized grip on the back which would keep the plastic from contacting the surface when setting the phone down.
Before selecting a case please go to Best Buy and test out the Speck CandyShell. You should be able to pull the case out of the box and put it on your phone to test.
So far I really like my Neo Hybrid. I had an Otterbox Commuter on my M8 and it was ok
Try the uag just got it. I have the commuter not even close. Protective and thin

Speck Mightyshell Case for the V10 - Best case So Far ?

Picked up the Speck Mightyshell for the V10 last night and it just might be the best case so far the V10. It feels nice and rugged without adding much bulk to the phone. The fit and finish are top notch. There are two things that I don't like, the case leaves the front metal edges of the sides exposed (maybe they were trying to compensate for the fingerprint scanner) and every time you remove the phone from the case it rips the back cover off the phone.
Let me know what you think about this case.
Otherwise a great feeling and fitting case. Worth $55.00 Nope, but here are some pictures:
$55 is way too much money. I love my $18 Spigen Slim Armor.
+1 on the Spigen Slim Armor
Sorry, that case is just plain ugly, bulky and over priced. ???

It doesn't cover the metal bars. Seems a major dirt trap to me and that price tag OUCH.

I have 5 different cases & I absolutely love the OBLIQ.
Fit is PERFECT & the price is right.

Yeah $55 is a lot of money, but this phone is worth it. If there is a holster that it fits in I'd buy it now.

Honestly I like the Obliq case the best, the texture is the closest to the original back, and there is extra texture on the sides for added grip.
They are all nice cases and well worth the purchase.

How do you like the Tudia case. I'm currently using the ringke but the back clear area is too slick for my liking.

The Tudia one is my second favorite one actually.
The back is smooth but not slippery, gives the phone a clean look if you like that instead of the textured back.
Who has this case and is willing to sell it? PM me.
Inicpio charging over $30 and Speck charging over $50 for cases in stores when so many case makers online sell them for $10-20 has always confused me...
Anyone reading this thread and trying to decide, buy the OBLIQ.. its $9.99 :laugh:

I don't care for the look of the case in the OP of this thread.
I was never a fan of anything from Speck. Just never liked their cases.
