I saw Vectron's review of the UAG case where he said he didn't think that the Spigen glass protector would fit on with it. What I'm curious about is if anyone has actually tried this or tried it with any other glass protector? I love the look of the UAG case and the reviews here have me just about sold on it. But I'd like to know if I can use any sort of glass screen protector with it.
I dont see why it wouldnt, the s3 version had no problems from what i read
I wouldn't know one way or the other, but I'd love to hear from someone who has tried it. In his review of the case, Vectron just laid the screen protector on there, saying it didn't look like it fit, but mentioned that he had some sort of pre-release model of the phone.

i got the spigen tr glass and it fit perfectly to this case.
and i must said this is a better case then spigen neo hybrid. its smaller in width, more comfortable to hold. The rubber lip off / along the glass is much higher, giving it more protection. the buttons are not so prompt to accidental activation.

Doh! I'm limited to 8 thanks per day?? Annoying.
Thanks for the response and the pics. Did you put the glass on first, then the case? Or vice-versa? Could you put the case on before the glass, even? It seems like if you could, it might help with alignment.

not the case first, nono i dun recommend tat. the rubber is soft enuff to over lap the glass, esp the tr since its edges are rounded. actually it kinda protect the glass edges, if its not for the cut out at the top earphone, u cant tell there's a additional glass over ur original screen. definately a perfect match wif this combination.

Hi, I'm planning to get the UAG casing for my phone too. but the earphone port is holding me back.
I'm curious if the port is big enough for 3rd party earphones to be plugged in. I've gotten several casing and it can't fit in perfectly for my phone to detect it.
I'm using a Shure SE-215, with a L-shaped jack.
I've attached a photo of the jack.
My iLoome glass screen protector fits perfectly. Im loving it everyday
I am using the UAG with the GLAS.t NANO SLIM and it fits just right.
For those that go naked (no case), have you gotten any scratches on the fake aluminum edges?
I'd like to use no case and have a screen protector & back skin but worried about scratches on the edges.

I bought one for my S3, those things are so cheap and crappy I wasted my money. However I bought a nice from Draco Designs ( which wasn't cheap) but definitely quality. FYI I emailed them this morning and they replied that one for the S4 will be available next week.
So far I have had no case on my phone (about a month) and there are no scratches. I have only a "Just Like Glass" screen protector
This is what I just put on mine.
search B00BMIG54O on amazon
$14.95 ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Samsung Galaxy S4 Screen Protector Shield Ultra Clear + Black Carbon Fiber Film Protector
Skin provides nice traction as opposed to stock slick back cover. Edge skins included.
The sides scratch very easily! I highly recommend some type of protection if you intend on keeping your device in mint condition!
Its actually nice metal on the s4 so not the plastic coating like on the s3

Not the metal trim ring around the phone itself, but the chrome bezel that's bordering the display has scratched fairly easily on both mine and my wife's with some minor drops. I definitely wish I would've got a case for outings sooner.
The aluminum trim around the outside of the phone however has remained scratch free on both.
Mine has a small ding in it, and I don't ever recall really dropping it. It does bother me though, and I'm certain I had to have dropped it at some point, as it's on the bottom.

I second the Neo Hybrid. I bought my S4 about a week ago (changed from the OG note) and spigen is completely wrapping it with the screen protector and the Neo since day 3 (had to order the case lol). it doesn't add too much bulk, it levels out the back so your phone isn't resting on your camera when you set it down and it provides a lip so you can set it face down and won't even touch the screen protector and for a total of $30 my phone is completely covered and not too much bulk added.
Also NFC works and rumor has it wireless charging should work too.
Its the best case I have purchased, Im about to buy the Glass Screens from Spigen.
I skipped the glas.t and went to their Ultra crystal screen protector. Over in the i717 section there's a HUGE thread going over the Glas.t and they started out awesome but the later posts say that they're getting peeling up after a couple months and was probably due to a change in the adhesive. Plus with the extra thickness of the glas.t the home button would be recessed, with the Ultra crystal the button is level with the screen protector. And at $7 for the ultra clear you get 2 and MUCH easier to apply.
Been completely naked on mine for about a month. No scratches on the glass, chrome bezel, faux metal ring around the outside, or battery cover. I don't drop my phone, haven't ever shattered a screen in 5 years of having a smart phone. I keep it alone in a pocket, and that's it. All my phones have been treated this way. The One X looked like it went to hell and back after a few months, but my iPhones, Captivate, S II, and Note II all survived really well. My wife is not so gentle, just throws it in her purse. So she has a flip case on my old Note II she is now using.
The only place I have seen any of these phones show wear is on the back when they rub when placed flat. On the S II it was the lip below the battery door. On the S 4 it seems to be the bottom lip of the chrome around the camera lens. That small section is scuffed. Otherwise this naked phone is pristine after a month of use.

I'm pretty sure there are a few reviews on the diztronic case around here. I have it and like it. But no tempered glass protector. Just a std oleo-phobic one. I use it with the OEM wireless charging back and it fits perfectly. But I'd still be afraid of dropping it on a corner of the phone for fear of breakage. I do think it would protect it in a face first fall though.

I've used the Diztronic on my past 3 phones, S2, S3, and now S4. The S4 version is a *bit* sturdier than the older models, but by no means it is an armor style case. The plastic formulation is a bit firmer basically. Good solid fit, keeps the slim profile, haven't dropped this one but my older phones both survived multiple drops with them. S4 version has covered buttons, where the S2/S3 had open buttons. I think I prefer the open button style, but it just may be that I got used to it. Only had the S4 version for about a week so time will tell. Still, very good value at <$10 on Amazon typically.
Still working on a screen protector. I had really good results with the stock AT&T one on the S3, I bought it just to have a cover while I figured out what I really wanted, but liked it so much I kept it on the phone. The ATT S4 protector is a different model, iFrogz I think and I don't care for it, so am on the lookout. Was leaning towards the gas t slim, but reports of it not laying flat make me think I should just stay with a normal flexible type cover.
Hello everyone.
I'm desperately looking for a bumper case for my i9500
since I've got my device, which is 2 month for now, I'm traveling around with no case at all, because nothing fits to its thick wireless charging cover.
If anyone here can give us links to buy any bumper that's fits well,
I would be very greatful.
The Samsung bumper protect case? Seen them at best buy.
can you paste here a link for product ?
I haven't found anything
I think the bumper (as in no back, just a rim around the phone) is for the active.
The case could be the samsung protective cover+...but it has a back, so you cant use wireless charging as you need to keep the back exposed.

Not really, the magnetic field passes through most covers. As long as they aren't too thick or made of metal you shouldn't have a problem.

I just got a rooCase bumper, it fits good with my Samsung wireless charging back,the only drawback is the bumper doesn't stick out very far in back, the gap between the case & the table is pretty small. I'm worried it might make contact/scratch over time. I'm going to put a skin on the back, even if it's just extra wide clear tape.

Post your reviews of cases or skins. I will update the op with links as new items become available. I currently have a tudia gel case and have ordered a few more. One skin that looks promising I will be ordering this week. I think the glow in the dark skin will look nice with a clear case or a frosted clear hard case. The tudia case is nice , does not stick in my pocket and provides protection around the edge of the screen.

The new body glove case is now my favorite. It is more like a composite you case that feels harder than the tudia. It slides in and out of my pocket much easier and with a lot less lint.

I got the Ringke Fusion as my girlfriend has one for her Z3C and it's really nice, also the G-Flex2 one has dustcaps for the 3.5mm and USB port. Which I really need as my old G2 died from dust ingress.
I also got a Circle Case though from here
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360885691754
It's by ARASO Design from Korea, it's really nice, very sturdy and nice finish.
I have the quick circle case from LG, it's expensive but I got it bundled with my phone. It's a back cover replacement but add little more plastic on the corner for protection and the quick circle work beautifully.
Now I wonder if I will find a back cover replacement but with a matte finish. But if LG don't do it, no one will.
Someone recommended this Rugged Hybrid Armor case to me. It works great.
My Husband using this Amazon Armor Belt Clip Case . It's perfect andworks great so far.

This is my glass screen protector.

Only complaint with this glass is that randomly sometimes (like 7.5% of my usage time) i find it to lack lubrication.
Otterbox is on clearance for $12 at Bbuy right now.
Not sure I like the bulk, but plenty swear by theirs.
Just avoid any case that has a painted surface, I had a bad experience with sun screen and my www.mercurymart.com Goospery red painted jelly case just dissolved when getting in contact with the sun screen. The case underneath is a white TPU one and it looked so horrible I had to immediately change it.
Im using Ringke Slim Case + Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass, both fit each other perfectly i'll probably never change it.
It keeps the original curved style of Flex 2 and doesnt add any bulk since it's super slim, also the tempered glass is thin enough to not protrude over the case which means u can put the phone screen down safely.
Obviously it's also super conveniant in case you drop the phone since the case will absorb the hit instead of tempered glass, which is generally much safer.
RingKe Fusion is awesome. Not bulky, has great drop protection and had dust caps for the micro USB and headphone jack https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00S...lex+2+case&dpPl=1&dpID=51RPdP+pSQL&ref=plSrch
need some info
are all carrier flex 2 same in shape and design.
i have a sprint flex 2 and has just bought a circle flip cover for 3k (which is too much for me)
and the case says its for flex 2 haven't found a sprint or other carrier specific flex 2 case.
so does that mean all flex 2's are the same?
yes @Alecia1212
