ive had a cheap little sleeve, and it really did nothing for protection. I know your against otterboxs, but I will still recommend a otterbox commuter. It DOES add some thickness to your phone, but it offers amazing protection. a sleeve really only protects from scratches, not big drops.

I went to the mall to test out the cheap cases and I could hear my phone hit the glass counter top when I gently turned it over. I went directly to Best Buy Mobile and overpaid for a Belkin... which is what I also bought for my original Incredible. I love the fit, protection, and coverage of the buttons. I clean my phones daily, so I like that the buttons aren't exposed.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

The inciPio silicrylic case. It's a slim 2 piece case at a reasonable price. It looks so GOOD to me. ( I have a white galaxy s 3 with the white and gray version of this case ) it's stylish, slim, and provides great protection

I have been really impressed with this case...not too bulky, nice grip on the side, the corners have extra reinforcement.

I have the Incipio Dual black/black on my white phone. Looks super sexy and really doesnt add much bulk while still providing great protection.

You can look at SGP's line of cases,
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3.html
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Lumi Series (Same as Color Series but brighter colors)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultra Thin Air Series (Polycarbonate back)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Modello Series (TPU Case)

I've tried the Incipio case and currently use an Otterbox. The Incipio case was nice and the color complimented well, but felt too loose. The Otterbox fits tight, but is too tight for those who need to change battery frequently or whatever. I haven't completed decided which I like better.

Which case do you prefer?

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.

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.

Has anybody tried this battery case by i-Blason. There are not any review on amason.
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Powe...r+External+Battery+Case+for+Samsung+Galaxy+S4

Recommend me a case

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!!
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium

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.

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

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.

Note 4 Cases for Females

Trying to get some ideas of cases that ladies would like. Any help would be appreciated.

Body glove satin pink or charcoal grey would be nice for a female...it's a super slim attractive case and att has it in stock. ..you can check it out at this website although they have no stock http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/cell-phone-cases/samsung/galaxy-note-4/satin/?scheme_id=404

That's not bad at all. Much appreciated.

I'm getting this one for every day use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N174VAE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I've got this one on order for occasions when I don't want to carry a separate wallet: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NL5WOP0/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AWSTL9OR9CVRW
I tried using the flip covers for a while, but it was just annoying after a while. I like slim cases that allows my phones to still fit my back jeans pocket.

Here are a few:
Samsung S-View Flip Cover in red or white
Case Thin Fit by Spigen in white or mint
Case Mate Sheer Glam Case
Ringke Slim by Rearth
Incipio Highland in light silver/white (the pink is rather ugly imo)
The Octane Frost/Neon Pink looks much better

Saw these on OtterBox.

I got a few friends with the bodyglove, I'm not impressed with it for some reason when holding it in my hands. Maybe it's just me.
I think a girl with little hands would like slim cases over bulky ones. The note is already a big phone, add a bulky case and you have a brick... I too would recommend the Ringke Slim case. I have the white case on white phone. Putting them together looks super clean and nice, might be a little too girly for me that's why I'm getting a new case to switch off sometimes.

Bodyglove has many types of cases I'm sure your friends don't have the Bodyglove satin, other bodyglove cases can seem bulky....but the satin gives you protection, slimmness,and a fashionable design...

I didn't mean to say the bodyglove satin is bulky, was just saying in general I prefer slimmer cases to bulky cases. And yes my friends do have the satin cases, not for their note 4s though, but for the G3, iPhones, M8 etc. but they are all pretty much the same, made of this bendable rubbery or gel like material, which I'm not a fan of. Personally I don't like the look of it. But Good thing about it is that it's slim and has superb grip. Other people may have positive opinions of them which is completely fine. If op would like to try out another type of slim case with more color options, I'd recommend checking out the ringke slim for less than half the cost of the bodyglove. She can buy 2 different colors and still have some change left over.

ooh thanks for the suggestions the Case Mate Sheer Glam Case is divine! I like the Incipio Highland too!

Shop-leather has some nice looking wallet cases with wrist straps. They are expensive though and ship times are looong.

Can anyone verify if the casemate sheer glam case covers the bottom mic hole for the verizon version ? if you don't have the verizon version if the microphone hole cutout on the bottom left gives exposure to about 3mm more left that would answer my question as well. also have you noticed yellowing where you hold the phone on the case? thanks

I'm using the original Samsung case in red, none of those awfull pink cases for me thank you... [emoji39]

Slim case?

I need a very slim case. One that doesn't add much bulk, I already have tempered glass installed on it. Not too worried about protection. Slimmer/thinner than the spigen, Diztronic. Thank you in advance..

Here is what I use. I don't think you can get any slimmer than this.
[]Rinkge Slim Case S5

I also got the Rinkge slim case linked above. So far, so good. It adds very little bulk. I almost bought the Diztronic slim TPU case similar to what I used for 2 years on my S3, but decided against it because of how it looked. The Diztronic protected my old phone from many a fall and withstood the wear and tear of daily use. Heck, I'm selling my S3 with the Diztronic as an added feature. Before making my final decision I was torn between the Rinkge and the Spigen Slim Utra Fit case. I never tested the Spigen, but a friend had the Rinkge case and I liked what I saw. Nothing to say about protection and durability yet as I only have the case for two weeks. Would like to hear from folks that bought the Spigen Slim Ultra Fit case to compare notes.

I just got in a slim armor and a neo hybrid.
Both are great cases, neither overly bulky.
I honestly prefer the slim armor. The neo is just a thin plastic frame, outside edge coverage only, around a thin tpu skin direct to the phone.
The slim armor is marginally more bulky, yet it seems much more durable and protective.
The bonus of both cases is they are a super perfect fit and EASY to get in and out of the pocket of even tightish jeans. The buttons and charging port are easy access (better on the slim armor) and the case wont try to come off when you take it out of your pocket.
These things are a laser tight fit. I was going to go trident for my case as I did with my epic 4g touch....... but I don't think I need to yet.

I have the Ringke, it's ok but it has 0 sex appeal(our phone needs it, because ew). I can't deal with the Spigen, I can't believe they put 'Auto Focus' below the lense. It bothers me greatly. It's not a lauded feature so I don't need some cheese wording below my camera.
This case on Amazon has fair reviews, about to order it myself.

Anybody have the ringke slim dot view case that can speak on if it retains the blue dye from Blue jeans? Thinking about getting the white one but worried about it turning another color.
If anyone has pics that would be great.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Fit Black and I using tempered glass the phone looks great. I am happy with it. See the photos :thumbup:
