Lightest and slimmest case for great protection? - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

I wanna buy a case which will be really light weight, as slim as possible, but it must protect the device, especially the screen, it should have a big lid to protect the screen. Also I would like if it has a non-rough backside, as it will be hard to slip it to my jeans pocket and take it out. I have read a little and found three I like, Case Mate Tough, Cygnette Workmate and UAG cases (not sure which one though!).
Kindly let me know for which one I should go and if it has any drawbacks or not.
Thanks in advance.

I have the uag case, and its one of the best cases I've ever had. It does a good job of protecting the phone, though you will want to get a separate screen protector.

Uag or ballistic aspira. I have the aspira and love it. Sounds like exactly what you are looking for. If you like I actually have an extra I can sell to you for cheap. It is the blue White one. Ballistic sent me an extra one. http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=83370
I had uag for my s3 and loved it.
Cygnette is great too but those would be my two suggestions.

UAG or Obliq for the best protection for it's size.

I like my spiegen neo hybrid, but it's not the flip case the OP wants.

None of the three you listed has any lid to protect the screen.
I don't like something flopping around when the phone is in use (when full screen is required). Have you considered a case with holster?
I currently use the Puregear Dualtek. I have the Spiegen Neo Hybrid but hate the buttons; too many accidental push.

Spigen is nice. I had one, but doesn't really protect the phone from a fall imho.

your best bet - spigen slim armour s-view cover http://amzn.to/17quWPT

Thanks all. UAG it is. I asked for a protective case, not a show off fanciness, Spigen Neo Hybrid or the Slim Armour is the worst cases for protection.

Just to thank everybody who indicated the UAG. It looks good. Gonna order one.

UAG all the way man! I've had mine for a few weeks. I liked it so much I bought one for my wife. Side note she loves it too.... Although she'll never tell me directly lol

Definitely can't recommend Otterbox right now. The commuter for the S4 with a Zagg Invisibleshield ran me about $35, but the Otterbox build quality has really gone down the tubes. The plastic is thin and pops off easily. The rubber seems solid enough at least.

I have more than 7 cases for s4. Including 2 cheap tpu and tpu/hard hybrid cases from eBay. They are light slim and good quality. And cost less than 2 dollars.

I've got the UAG Scout looks better in person. Dropped my phones a couple of times and no damage at all. It's a beefy case in terms of good protection without bulking the phone.

You really should check out the ballistic aspira. Doesn't add much bulk and gives awesome protection.

Don't like case. I just use a clear scratch resistant screen protector
The silicone case they sell at T-Mobile. Can't stand tpu's, or snap cases. I've have bought like 10 different cases and the only one that really fits my phone and completely covers the bezel is the one from T-Mobile. All my tpu's look good but don't cover all bezel. The snap case is just stupid, it breaks even with a small drop. And I don't think I'd ever have the balls to use my phone without a case. Especially in high-school. One drop and hello big a$$ crack on the beautiful screen.

I originally used the low quality TPU cases. High quality ones are obviously more expensive, but those cover better and are also easier to press.
I now use a Trident Aegis. Took me forever to put on the first time (rebooted my phone 5 times), but now I'm a pro at it. I love the protection, but I hate that it's so much thicker than the TPU case. It does make the phone feel more sturdy though.
Otter box. I have dropped my phone so many times with this cover and it hasn't had any damage.

My favorite is cheap.
I'm partial to the hard rubber i9000 cases, like below.
They're thin, look decent, snap right on and protect the phone from a small fall. It protects the glass minimally with like a 1mm buffer if you lay it down on a flat surface.
They wear out quick (the rubber coating stuff wears off), but at $1.20 a case (including shipping) on ebay they are disposable.
I order like four at a time. I like the black, orange and red.

I just hijacked the pictures because they were the first ones I found of the cases I have, not that I recommend the vendor or anything.
+1 for the Otter Box case, I've dropped this phone several times face down with this case down. Its adds some girth but gives a solid feel in your hand, as well the rubber button covers help with their function. Amazon has the best price I've found with free shipping.

I am looking for a GOOD case with a kickstand. VZW has one I bought and returned. It wouldn't really stay in place and made access to power key and volume keys impossible with my fat fingers. Even if that were not an issue it was really a lousy case that didn't hold tightly nor fit properly...
I want a good case that really holds on and has a kickstand built in that is recessed in case when not deployed.
Thanks for suggestions!

Let me know would you? I really miss my kickstand.
Just received the Diztronic as well as the Incipio Feather Snap case. The Diztronic is well made and fits like a glove. However, out of the two, I have to pick the feather Snap case. It's just like the casemate barely there case for the HTC EVO 4G (not the galaxy s2), very thin, and feels like nothing is there. The corners are just barely covered. I was a little worried but I accidentally dropped it on the first day, and the corner of the case got a little scuffed up, but it buffed out easily with just my fingernail.
The Diztronic is nice, but it is definitely thicker than the epic 4g touch (galaxy s2) diztronic case. So it definitely adds more (not a lot of) weight and thickness. I loved the GS2 case and that phone's vehicle dock was a dock that you needed to remove the case from the phone for, so the diztronic was better than the case mate. The vehicle dock for the razr MAXX HD fits the phone in the case, so for me the feather is the real winner. Thinner, and lighter (I compared the two with and without the phone). But the diztronic definitely has more protection.
For day to day, I'm using the incipio. When I take it to the golf course or hiking, I'll put it in the diztronic.

Love the protection your case offers but I'm addicted to the kickstand. I bought the vzw package to get it but the case is slippery and offers no protection on top or bottom of phone in a fall (it better land on its side!).
If a good case with kickstand and grippy surface somes out I'm in so please let me know.

oh yes ive seen that version of incipio. i like cases with the hard outter shell and the softer rubberized inner shell. thats the reason i bought the slim armor! slimmer, sleeker looking, and still great protection!
When I had my iphone I always used SPG cases so pretty sure I will be getting them again for S4
im a fan of the cheap $3.50 soft rubber cases... i got one on my s3 since last sept. dropped my phone probably 3 times on bare cement from 2-4ft height and not a single scratch on the phone. not to mention no screen protector..

Received the Rearth ringke slim today. Nice materials, but took it off after 5 minutes and put diztronic back on. The s4 looks blacked out with it on and handles better than the Rearth.

I would highly recommend the Incipio DualPro case, or really any of their cases. I have the DualPro and I loved it the moment I pulled it out of the box. Very smooth feel to it, but very sturdy as it comes with a rubber like case that goes on first, and then a hardened case that goes on top of that. It's not bulky like most dual protection cases, it doesn't add a whole lot in weight, can't tell at all honestly. For $29.99, it's a great case for a great phone! If I had to get a case other than the DualPro from them, I would recommend the Frequency case, just a typical TPU case, but also a great product.
I'm obviously new at posting stuff on here, so I can't post a link to their site, just go to incipio.com and I'm sure you guys can figure it out from there
I prefer Trident for my main case. I have one on my S3. It really protects well & looks cool. I'm also giving spigen a shot.

Otterbox Black Defender
Got the case yesterday. Absolutely stunning quality. The S4 is easier to hold while using the phone and gaming. Case itself seem to have good fit and it has no potential gaps for dust or dirt sticking between the phone and the case. Also the screen protector is amongst the best there is, it just aligns perfectly and the feel of the screen is pretty much as without it.
The only con for someone would be the size, but for me in need of a case that really protects while on a motorcycle and in the garage, this is it!
I will order the Glacier (White / Gunmetal Gray) version when released also.
I think my choice is pretty obvious, although we sadly are not in your poll
I personally love SGP's screen protectors. However, I've bought their cases numerous times in the past only to be disappointed. They have a very talented CAD guy that makes all their products look specular, but the quality was just not there when I actually got the cases themselves. That said, I have not used their S4 cases yet.
I wonder why they go by SGP if their name is Spigen. Shouldn't it be SPG?

The same here. I was not a case fan (making slim devices so bulk or useless protections actually) but after my GS3 took a light hit with shattered screen, I found only a hybrid (soft material with hardened shell) case should be the way to go. After a few hours on forums and YT review, I ordered a Tough.
Has a good grip, feels really tough (didn't tried a 200€ crash test though) even if the soft layer collects dust, it's not as bad as silicon shells and the phone don't get stuck to the pocket when you grab it.
Then, still owning my brave & tough S2 (not so easy to break one, what it endured!) and before stock went down, I bought one for it. Nice one.
Then I went for a GS4 and already had its Tough cover when I received it.
Because of the GS4 design, Case Mate had to lessen the lip/edge around the screen and to cut off the hard shell over both side buttons but all is nicely done and never clutter face buttons (as it sometimes happened with S3) nor affects the screen sides touch.
Because of the straight frame, more rectangular GS4 design, I feel it less bulky in the front jean pocket than GS3 one that had to come around the pebble bezel.
Urban Armor Gear w/ Fly Grip on S4 (still fits Smart Dock), rocked the Aegis on my Note 2 prev
I rock the trident kraken ams case. Awesome protection and good price. One of my favorite featured is being ablr to take the kickstand off and put on a windshield mount or the bike mount. They have like 8 diff accessories to attach to the case.

imho, the best looking case would be 'Nillkin Hard Case for Nexus 4'
-clean looking
-good grip over the phone
-good feel in the hand
-all in black, no shinies
those are my criteria
I like the Diztronic TPU just because it follows the N4's curves while providing protection from drops. You do have to kinda watch the back so it doesn't get scratched though.

This time i want a high quallity case for my 500€ note
What cases do you suggest guys? I want 360° protection and as slim as it can be i dont want any extra bulk
What about bumpers?
Tell me your thoughts
I was thinking about ringken slim case but ive read on the net that it scratches the metal also..

I don't have any personal experience with either case but other forum members have posted about excellent results w/ the Samsung case & the Versus Thor (which I think is a little more protective than the Samsung case). Both are slim cases for the level of protection they offer.

I find the sammy one too bulky and too rubbery...
I want also physical buttons not rybber ones..
As slim as possible protect sides and top bottom
The main thing i want is a high quallity one i dont want to damage the phone any more..is the diztronic a good one? Did u see any scratches or something?

the diztronic is great but the samsung one is much better IMO feels more premium and side by side the diztronic and samsung cases are almost identical in size
here are some pics of the diztronic

what about the obliq? is it any good? do you think that it will damage my phone? like the tpu did?
The rubber protection for the buttons is exactly why I ilke these cases. The sammy cases are a good deal at $10.

This one is working out well for me.....http://www.i-blason.com/samsung-gal...lster-case-with-kick-stand-and-belt-clip.html
I have about 12 different cases. Spigen Slim Armor, Spigen Neo Hybrid (both the plastic and metal), Verus Thor, Seidio Hard Slim Case, SUPCase Beetle, Ringke Clear, Samsung Protective Case, UAG Case and probably a couple of others I can't remember and every single case will scratch your phone. It's your environment that will determine the scratching because the build is just prone to scratches if there is too much sandiness in your soil and surroundings.

while not the most slim case, ive been using an Otterbox Commuter on my Note 4 for a few weeks now and it has been fantastic. I also have the Diztronic which doesnt fit quite right and honestly feels TOO small. I'm going to give the OEM Samsung case a try as I somewhat of an accessory junkie.
At $12-$20 per case, theyre not crazy expensive and I can mix and match my protection to suit my activities.
