TPU Case from Amazon Review

Picked up a TPU case from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054HA45A
It's pretty much the bomb if you are looking for a TPU case. Cutouts for surround sound mic holes on back and all of the cutouts line up near perfect.
It fits the phone perfectly. I recommend. It's only 8 bucks and they have a few different colors. I got the gloss black. Free shipping if you are a prime member like me.
Sorry, there is dust all over my phone in these pics. It's not sparkly. The case is super rigid TPU. It's not the dust/lint attracting silicon BS you get at T Mobile. I was in a dusty environment when taking the pics.

As I stated in the cases thread, I also own this very nice case.
I also mentioned the downsides it has for me so far, which are the pretty hard to use volume rocker and hard to reach power button. Volume rocker might be due to the way I used to press it on my DHD, there seems to be a position when it actually works pretty easy. But the power button will always be a pain.
Yet, it's actually a failure of HTC, the power button on the side is the only thing I like about the SGS2 which I would LOVE to see on a future HTC phone.

I didn't see your post. I am having no issues with the volume rocker, but I really don't use it much I guess. I never listen to music on my phone.
I would love for this phone to have the power button on the side. All of these Android phone manufacturers should follow Samsung's lead and put them on the side. Everyone is putting them at the top these days! It's pretty awkward pushing a button on the top to lock it every time you put it down.
Loving this case!

wish these came in flat black or non opaque colors.

Its funny you all complain about the Volume on the top. I remember when the Galaxy first came out there was A LOT of complaints about the power button being on the side. I dont mind the where the power button is on my Galaxy or Sensation... Shrugs.
I do have a question tho. The 2 holes on either side of the camera and the 2 holes near the bottom, what are they for? The TPU case i bought from Amzer (SP?) dont have those holes free. I wonder if they will cause a problem.

Google told the holes are for the antenna connectors.. So it shouldn't be a problem when it's covered.

I do.... Ha!

Thanks for the review! It looks pretty good in the pics.
Hard shell is never my thing.. I don't like silicon cases because of the friction and lint accumulation. Just ordered it on Amazon, I will wait and see if I can live with the added thickness.
I've gone naked for the past few days, I've never used any cases with my blackberry or previous HTC phones. I've never tried TPU cases before, I guess it doesn't hurt to try for 8 bucks.

It adds almost no thickness to the phone. My brother asked me why I didn't have a case when he was playing with it today.
Someone gave this a one star review on Amazon because the volume rocker is harder to press. It's not that hard. Plus you could easily get an exacto knife and cut it out yourself. You will like this case dude.

Yeah, you won't regret it
You won't notice the extra thickness in width, maybe in height, but it doesn't really matter there.

I picked one up before getting the phone. Fits nicely, you can barely notice the thickness. I just wish they had clear one instead of the smoked one that I've got.

Hi!
For people who can't order on Amazon.com (I'm in Belgium and I can't order this item via Amazon), it's also available on eBay. Object numbers are : 260799343153, 260799345693, 250834600173 (inexpensive delivery).
Regards.

Just got it and put it on this morning.
Gotta say I love the fit and finish. Everything fits perfectly without being too tight or lose. It definitely does a great job of preventing scratches or bumps. Now I could toss and slide the phone all I want without worrying scratching the back. The case also doesn't pick up too much pocket lint like silicon cases, while adding friction while holding the phone and minimize incidental drops.
Minor negative is that the power button and volume rocker is noticeably harder to control/press than before without using the case. The added thickness does not subtract from the user experience, but it does add ever so slightly to the bulk.
Then again, which case doesn't have those cons? For 8 bucks, it is a great case. I'll keep using it for now till I find myself using the volume rocker more frequently, which I do use quite often for music and in-call volume adjustments.

If only it wasn't so shiny

I purchased this case as well, it is absolutely fantastic. It fits so perfectly, and I can't believe the price. I was worried I wouldn't like the shine, and that it would be loose, but I've gotten used to it, and it fits tight to the phone. Definitely one of the best cases I have ever owned for any device.

I got mine off Amazon, from TPU Case. Very nice black, I can't complain. I always get TPU cases for my phones but I never got black. They sell the exact same ones on eBay for $8.95 except the shipping is free.
I used the camera on my camcorder, very bad quality but hopefully you can see the holes and what not.

Just got the all black one today, I must say it is a perfect fit, never had a case that fitted this well. No bulk at all, feels just as slim.

I purchased this on Amazon last week. Note it was $7.98 and now it's $8.90. Crazy the price went up, haha!
Here's my review:
I've never used a product before made out of "Durable Flexible TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)" but it seems to do the job quite well. It's an extremely hard durable plastic with just a tiny bit of flex so you can get the case on the phone. (A word of warning: you won't be taking this case off too often because it's really difficult to do so! Once it's on, it's meant to stay!)
As for protecting the phone, it seems like it will do the job. It's sealed *extremely* tight, so hopefully it won't let dust/lint in there like those cheap rubber cases do.
It looks great too, since it's a shiny/glossy black color. That means it's also easy to slip in and out of a pocket, unlike the cheap rubber cases that will stick to the inside of your pocket.
The only bad thing I can see is that it gets kind of greasy easily, even if you wash your hands often. And over time, scratches might show easily as well. (I'll update the review if the case gets scratched or something in the future, but so far so good.)
Overall though, for the price (which was actually a tiny bit lower last week when I bought it) I am extremely satisfied with this case. I want maximum protection and Otterbox is currently refusing to put out a case for the Sensation (not to mention their cases are expensive too). So in the mean time, this TPU case seems to be handling the job quite well. Hopefully my phone remains in perfect condition for the next year so I can resell it easily.
I would highly recommend this case to other Sensation owners, especially for the price, and even more so if you are an Amazon Prime member for the free shipping. It is a pretty great product and I would certainly consider purchasing their cases for my future phone(s).

Skyrocket Defender Series Case Review!

Hey guys I just received my Skyrocket Defend case! Right when I got the package that was shipped out to me, I tore open the box to find the most beautiful case ever!!
Things I love about this case:
1. Sturdy
2. Built in screen protector
3. Belt clip, very useful for me since I drive a Ninja 650R around Fort Worth so I just clip it on my vest and connect my head phones to it and im good!
4. Outter gives out a free 1 year guarantee replacement with your purchase.
5. you can use the belt clip as a freaking stand so you can watch videos or whatever on a flat surface!
Things I dont like:
1. Freaking huge! I wear slim straight legged pants so its a little hard to get it in and out some times, its not that bad though.
2. The belt clip dose not seem that sturdy, there was times I thought it would fly off my vest, or off my belt lol. One time I got out of my 370z and it got caught on the seat belt and it fell off :/
3. The built in screen protector smudges easily, and can be blurry, or reflect a lot of light for me.
In all I have loved this case! it was a $50 price tag but honestly it was worth it! I recommended getting this case! :good::good::good:
If any of you guys have this case what do you think about it?

I love my Defender, but stopped using it because it was just too bulky for everyday use. There are two key problems with the Defender, aside from its size. One is the built-in screen protector. It blurs the image slightly and desensitizes the touchscreen, but more importantly, it actually traps dirt and dust beneath it, which could potentially scratch your screen. The built-in screen protector will lift any adhered protector right off. Fortunately, this is easy to solve, as the built-in screen protector comes right off with minimal effort.
Second, and a bigger issue, is that the plastic inner shell can scratch and damage your phone. There's no way around this, and it's a risk you take by using the Defender instead of a case with soft material hugging the phone and plastic outside.
The third issue for me was heat--the Defender was not allowing sufficient heat to escape, and my phone was constantly running hotter than it needed to. This eventually has an adverse effect on battery life, maybe even the phone itself. Taking the built-in screen protector off will probably help out tremendously here.
Also, $50? You can get them for $30 off of Amazon easily.
It's not something that I foresee myself using on a daily, even near-daily basis by any means, but it does have its uses. It's about as indestructible as cases come, and that's saying something. But as a casual daily case, it's too big and bulky. I'll use my silicone/plastic hybrid or a TPU for that.

I see what you mean, so if I wanted a real screen protector do you think I should take this one off and buy a real one to put with this case?
Thank you very much for you opinion, I wanted to hear from someone who has good experience with it and you nailed it!

Yep, either pop the built-in screen protector out or cut it with a razor blade/x-acto knife. Have an adhesive screen protector (a high-quality one, like an Invisible Shield) put on, then let it cure for 24 hours before putting the Defender on. You should be set.

I see! Well thanks a lot! The size is no problem with me, and I have not yet seen any temp change with this on my phone (YET)

I've had my Defender since January. I have the same problems as previously mentioned. I always have to take it out of the case, and clean the case and the screen.
I've had problems with the rubber part coming off of the edges; it just doesn't hug the plastic as well as it did out of the box. I've also had 2 of the clips break. They appear to be pretty fragile, so it may have been from a drop. I'm considering contacting Otterbox and attempting to get a replacement. I've heard they have great customer service.
But regardless of all that, it still protects my phone. I'm almost certain that if it wasn't for this case, I would have a cracked screen, instead of a damaged case. And although this case is rather large, I would rather have a working protected phone, than a sleek broke one.

Couldent put it any better! I'm not clumsy with my phone, but when I do drop it I want to make sure its not gonna break.
I also heard they have really good service, at least I know I will have protection for a year. I'm sure I will have a note 2 or a S3 by then

Just wait, on the top, where the headphone jack is, those two plastic pieces will rub on the phone and will actually start making grooves in the trim of your phone, like it did on mine. I was very upset by this, as well as the fact that it ended up scratching my screen from the debris that would get caught behind the built in screen protector. I found that this case actually damaged my phone more than it protected it. I hate it! Due to the negative experience i had with this case, I will never buy an Otterbox case again. Instead, I'm using a fishbone case that I got for 7.99 on amazon. i've used it for quite a few months now and have not had a single problem or complaint. it's the best case i've ever used. It fully protects my device because it has soft silicone on the interior and hard plastic on the exterior in the places that matter, like the corners.

I do find it interesting how polarizing the Defender is. It's the Juice Defender of cases--everyone either loves it or hates it. You don't really see that reaction about any other case.

might as well my 2 cents...ive had the otterbox defender for a few months now and so far i like it. I also have a commuter but needed a a case with a holster. I like the fact that I can use it as a stand but yout have to turn it upside down to use it...also the latch that holds the clip I have cracked already. also the corners are slightly flared where i have removed it only maybe once or twice...its the same on my commuter where its slighly stretched...other than that I love my case...since i bought it off amazon i may have to see about getting it exchanged thru otterbox.

How big is the phone with the case?

And its pretty big, but to me its the perfect size, fits well in my hand and snug in my pocket. There is pictures in the OP of the phone in the case.
Edit: I also wanted to say that I did take off the built in screen protector, it drove me crazy after a while. I went out and bought a really nice protector and works perfectly with the case.

Nice fitting belt-holster?

Anybody have a suggestion for a nice-fitting leather belt holster for the N4? I want to avoid buying something on Amazon that is either too large or too small.

See my earlier post on a case that I bought from Amazon. I'm very happy with it.

2 questions if you don't mind---reviews indicated that the clip fails easily and that the case is bulky, can you comment on either of those?

I've only had it for a week so I can't say anything about its durability; seems solid enough initially, and I don't see any indication of incipient failure so far. (Besides, for $5, if it falls apart after six months, I figure I will have gotten my money's worth! )
As for the size, it's no bigger -- in relation to the phone -- than any other case of its type. I.e., it's about 1 cm longer than the phone and maybe 3 mm wider. It is, of course, a good deal thicker than the phone, since you have three layers of case -- back, front, and flap, each of which adds a couple of mm; maybe that's what that reviewer was referring to? Anyhow, I certainly don't find it to be unreasonably bulky, and I don't see how it could be much smaller and still fit and protect the phone.

This is what I got. I had something like this for an iPhone for 3 years and it still has a lot of life left in it. I think it should fit the phone even with a slim Rearth Ringke case.
I too must use a holster type case, I don't like carrying the phone in my pocket.

That holster is great for about 6 months, but then it starts to break down. Its a generic holster that has been sold forever. I used it with my Galaxy Nexus for months and with my previous phone for about a year before that. The elastic tore away from the leather on one side after 6ish months which I sewed back together terribly and the leather began to peal a little bit around the edges.
That said, I have never had a holster do much better than this. 6 months seems to be the limit for me before it starts really going downhill. This holster was great during its functional life. And its certainly cheap enough to just buy 2 a year.
Edit: Oh yea, the most annoying thing by FAR about this holster is that the magnets come loose in the flap, which at first just means 1 magnet sticks and its very loosely kept closed, but then after that other magnet slips there is nothing to really keep it closed before you shove a pin or knife through the leather to force the magnets back into proper position.
I know I sound harsh on this holster, but its not awful. Reading about it I just ordered another one from Hong Kong for $2.88. Will be here sometime next year probably.

Seidio needs to come out with a spring-loaded holster. I have one for my Evo 3d (waiting on Nexus 4 shipment...) and it's been great. Easily one of the best investments I made for my phone - including the extended battery beast and case.

Got both the holster and the slim Rearth case. I like them both very much.
The Rearth is really slim and it seems very well made (made in Korea, not China, for a change). Not sure it adds any impact protection but that's fine, it will at least protect the back from scratches.
The holster seems decent too, well made, and it fits the phone well even with the slim Rearth case on the phone.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the combo. How's this for a mini-review?

Best One!

Looks ok. Those of us in the USA will have to wait for the Koreans or Chinese to make one, I guess.

If anybody else is interested in this, I received the holster and I'd give it an "okay" rating. As the Amazon reviews warned it is a bit too big. I could probably fit two N4s in there side by side. I am looking in to a Ringke case as well so maybe by the time I add that on there won't be so much space inside. I may try the holster sirxdroid recommended.

Still happy with mine. It's a bit tight with the Ringke case, but not bad at all and it seems to "give" some so it will get better with use.

Hmm, I'm wondering if you got the same case I did; sometimes these generics have multiple suppliers and different lots can be variable. I definitely couldn't fit two N4s into my holster -- it's not a tight squeeze (I don't have to push the phone in), but the N4 is certainly not rattling around in it. Here's a photo of what my phone looks like inside the case. I think it's just about right for ease of access while not being overly roomy.

Yeah I think mine is different than that, the stitching doesn't look the same and my phone isn't in there nearly as snug.
As a side note I also bought the holster recommended by sirxdroid. I like it much better, the fit is perfect.
However....
It has the most unfortunate side-effect of either unexpectedly rebooting or shutting down my phone. I don't know what causes this, if the buttons are somehow getting mashed just right or if maybe the magnet has an effect on the phone. So sadly this case is unusable and I'm now back to Big Bertha.

That is strange, the case is not rebooting my N4, though the phone itself does reboot once in a while for me too but I suspect it's related to bluetooth use and it has nothing to do with the case. Not sure whether you use bluetooth or not, it may be worth keeping it completely off for a while and see if the phone still reboots.
I also have the Rearth case on my phone which makes the buttons a bit harder to press, so maybe that helps the holster not press on the phone buttons inadvertently.

this looks intersting

Anybody have a suggestion for a nice-fitting leather belt holster for the N4? I want to avoid buying something on Amazon that is either too large or too small.

[Q] Best case for Note 4 with Samsung Qi Charging back.

I have a note 4 and tech21 case. It's a nice compromise between thickness and protection. It has a nice texture that makes it easy to grip. Sadly it's incompatible with the samsung qi charging plate which is slightly thicker.
Any recommendations for a note 4 case that is compatible with the samsung charging plate?

Doesn't (and highly likely will never) exist. I would love to find one, but no one builds a case to accommodate the backplate just for the Qi charging. On all my previous phones, I had to go the route of using the cheap chinese insert behind the stock backplate. If you do find a solution, post back please - thanks

For past models there has eventually been a Protective Cover Plus that fit, but it won't be out for a while if ever.
I'm usually going without a case. If I am going to be on a job site where I don't have a need for wireless charging, I switch out the back and put on my Versus case. I've also got a qi receiver card to go in the case but it breaks tap to pay and charges slower. I've got a hopefully better one coming.

How about a bumper case?
Anyone have a nice bumper (around the edge) case for the note 4? Seems like pretty much any case without a back should be compatible the slightly thicker samsung qi charging back plate.

I thought exactly this....haven't bought a bumper yet tho. I've been using the rubber from my otterbox commuter for protection. There are a lot of bumpers on eBay I'm thinking of picking up one of the cheap ones to test with this backing.

Incorrect.
Diztronic made one for the S5: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Exclusively-Compatible-Wireless/dp/B00LLM9MQY
I'm sure they'll make one for the Note 4 within a month or two, it's the most popular Samsung phone now.

It does not. Wish it did [emoji19]

Honestly I hate cases. I wanted the original samsung charging back as i've always used the stick on kind for many samsung phones and have always found that you lose features, create bulges, and they don't always work that great. I have always battled with my hate of cases and my obsession with the newest phones. In the past I always sold my phones on the secondary market and wanted to retain their resale value. recently we went to the EDGE program because we have a family share plan. So my phones will simply be traded in to VZ. I checked with them on their condition requirements for traded edge phones and the consistent answer was that they didnt care about scratches and such as long as the screen wasnt broken and there was no water damage. so that made my decision EASY!. Original sammy back and NO ugly bulky case! YAY!. Insurance covers the accidental breakage issue.

DITTO!
This note4 is a thing of beauty, and covering it up with a peice of rubber simply makes it look like every other black phablet on the market.
I'm on the next program with at&t, and will eventually trade my note4 back in when another upgrade phone comes out. They also don't care of minor screen scratches, only broken screens and water damage.

Caseology case works perfect with the OEM wireless charging back. A little snug but can't tell when in hand.

I looked at that URL and under questions someone asked about fitting the Qi Back. 3 people said no. Did you have to modify it? Do the cutouts still line up?

No mods, straight out of box. The only thing I noticed that differed from the stock backing is that the case is a little tougher to get on...meaning you have to groove the plastic into the tpu a tad harder.

I had it for awhile (bought it directly from Ali Express). It works with the Qi cover, but otherwise I pretty much hate it:
1. It is a bit of a loose fit and the lip does not always go securely over the front edge of the phone.
2. The lip does not take into account the curved glass, so it's elevation over the surface of the glass is very minimal. I do not think it would provide any screen protection if the phone is dropped face down on the pavement (#1 contributes to this). This lip issue with curved glass seems to be an issue with other cases as well though.
3. Buttons are hard to press and identify by touch.
4. They placed and elevated Nillikin badge on the side of the phone that looks and feels like a button. What's worse it's located where power button would be if the phone was flipped upside down. This is extremely annoying because it makes it impossible to determine by touch if I am holding the phone correctly (and actually pressing a button).
5. The microphone holes, while aligned, create an echo when in speaker mode. Echo is bad enough to make the speaker mode unusable. I made the holes larger by using a red hot nail followed by some Dremel love. It fixed the echo, but it looks pretty ugly.
All in all, I am barely tolerating this case. Ali Express now has more bumper cases, and I ordered 3 different ones. At couple of bucks a piece they are pretty cheap. Hopefully at least one of them is better than Nillikin.

Top Rated Case from Amazon Round up review : Heavy duty , lightweight , stylish more

Hi , There .
My name is Ben Hoffman , if you are familian with A C forum you will know i am the formed Admin and i was quite good at accessories.
I just joined this forum a couple days ago . So here we go , let us talk about cases .
And the boss of this forum sent me an email , i am so flatted , he is such a nice guy .
I am keep receive more cases from now , so i only add reviews that i already tested , and i will update them when i receive them
Otterbox LGG5 Review
Today i just make a brief review for my lg g5 cases
It's taken more drops then anything.
However, I dropped one star for it's method of installation. Here's why; For this device, I have the extra battery, external charger and USB accessory kit. While under normal use this battery does nicely for a day, I am not a normal user. I can kill a battery FAST. So having two is heaven for me. But getting this case open to get to the phone to swap batteries could have been easier for this particular device. The phone is so ridiculously simple to get into (LOVE IT!). It also obviously won't fit the extra 'friend' parts so far. If I find a solid case that would, I'd consider that one. With my hands, this case is difficult for me to get on and off to swap batteries. But it is the best case out there right now cause I WILL drop my phone.
As it sits, this is still the strongest case out there. Easier to get into might include the Commuter but it also forgoes the screen protector. Wife had one of those last time around and her screen is cracked.
Update: (redid this cause for some reason it didn't show me as a verified purchase the first time... odd) Also I did find the best way to open this case is to use the handle from a basic fingernail clipper or a wide flathead screwdriver from my leatherman. Don't twist it, just push slightly and they unlock. This one is HARD to do with the fingers (at least right now). I suspect they made the connections stronger then before cause of how easy they were to break.

Most people want to customize their phone beyond how it looks out of the box and have some options in the future. I got my wife the G5 a couple days ago and she loved the way it looks but loved it even more after this case.
The case comes in an impressive plastic box with a cut out in the front and a company description on the back. Inside the box is the case and a detailed set of instructions on how to remove the case, along with some product information.
The case fits on easily enough. Remove the gold plastic ring that is on the outside of the case and fit the phone into the TPU shell. Then reapply the gold plastic ring. This is the most difficult part, since not all of the gold plastic ring wants to click in easily, especially around the volume buttons and across from the volume buttons. Once you get everything snapped in you're good to go. The back of the case comes up enough to protect the dual camera's sensors and on button and has a smooth and comfortable feeling downward slope that makes it easy to index the button without looking. The bottom portion of the downward slope is longer than the top portion so allow your finger to fit at the proper angle.
The back of the case is textured but does not feel rough and the side is smooth. The volume buttons are more or less flush with the side of the gold plastic ring portion, but are reliable and easy to use. The bottom has a cutout for the type-c port and speaker, as well as a cutout at the top for the 3.5mm jack and IR blasters. In these areas the gold plastic ring portion is positioned on one side of the cutout and does not go all the way around it.
There are a couple negatives about this case. First, since the back is textured it makes it difficult to securely affix a “fashion ring”, which my wife likes to use. She had this case on today and was holding the phone by the ring when the phone detached and fell to the ground. I'm happy say the case protected the phone fully from its first drop, but this slight niggle might make this case spend more time on a shelf than on the phone in the future. The other negative is that reinforcing ring looks a little too plasticky. I have about 10 other cases for this phone currently, and a few have metallic-looking parts that are plastic but manage to have a more metal look to it. The case is extremely well made, but the plastic ring detracts from the premium look of the case in my opinion.

3 Lazer Case for LG G5
finally recieved this case in the mail. To be honest, I was surprised at the high quality. When you're a maker of phones cases, it's dificult to make a name for yourself when you have companies like Spigen and Caseology as your competitors. Those companies have already established themselves.
What I liked most about this case was the attention to detail. Like the name suggests, the laser in the name really signifies how thought out everything seems. The cutouts were on point and the volume buttons were tactile, which always keeps me happy. The material for the case has a little bit of a rough touch to it. I'm on the fence about this. I think it's great for a more rugged person but not for all.
The packaging was the only thing that looked cheap. But I'd rathwr them cut money on that end than spend a bunch like Spigen for no real reason.
Overall, this is a great first Artech case to introduce itself. Spigen and Caseology may have a new competitor.
Below is my wife's reveiw
The only criticism I have at this point it is that it did not come with a screen protector which is absolutely vital for for my phones because they go through much abuse. Other than that amazing product crisis perfect great job company well done .

Review i found on youtube

UAG Case For LG G5
The Urban Armor Gear Ash case for the LG G5 is the best looking for case for the LG G5. When I first brought my LG G5, I was not sure if I liked the look of it. I ordered this case and once I put it on the device, it gave my device a unique look. It gives the device a rugged military look. The device also has a nice lip when I drop my phone face first the lip of the case hits the ground first. If you have a LG G5 pick this case up.
I've dropped my phones only a handful of times. every time these cases saved my phone from what would have been catastrophic destruction in any other case.
I recently purchased the LG G5. I immediately purchased a UAG case(Ash), a wet apply screen protector and a longer charge cable. When the case arrived I was pleased at first but then. I noticed some inconsistencies having owned these cases before. The plastic and rubber feels much cheaper. The plastic is very slippery feeling in the hand. The rubber is hard, and where the cutouts are it's sharp and abrasive on your fingers. while holding the case the charge port sits on your pinky, with extensive use its very uncomfortable. also above the charge port the rubber is very thin and flimsy and feels like it might tear off.
Someone might gonna know the comparision between Otterbox and UAG . I have to say both of them are premium quality , but Otterbox is more bulky and have extra front panel protection also with a holster . UAG is a lightweight case , also cost 20 dollars less than otterbox
it actually up to yourself , i feel like the touch of Otterbox , but i do not mind to use UAG as daily drive

I have used a otter box since HTC evo 3g, since then I have never even bought a phone unless they made a case for it. I as well can go thru 3 or 4 charges a day. On my phone 24/7. But with fast charge and the strength of the otter box, I believe its a fair trade.

I had that case on my G3 until it conked out. I can attest that the case is absolutely sturdy and rugged and could survive just about anything perhaps (besides bullets or being run over by an 18 wheeler). The built-in screen protector is god awful though so you'll have to cut it out and replace it with something else.
I didn't want the exact same case for my G5 so I got the Premium version of that case with the transparent back and metal studs:
https://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Unicorn-Premium-Protective-Black/dp/B01BRFWXM4
The phone looks beautiful in it and it also carries the Military Standard 810G-516.6 drop protection, it doesn't include a screen protector but adding one yourself is highly preferable to a built-in one that you will have to replace right out of the box.
