A cover I got off of Ebay.
It has a kickstand included. I add some grip tape to the back.

I just bought a Charge and I hate the plastic-y back cover. Does anyone know of an aftermarket cover that's rubbery or textured?
Is the inductive cover any different in terms of the back material?
Thanks in advance!
I have the Casemate Barely There case. It is a very thin case and is Matte Black.

I went a little case crazy the last couple of weeks. I have had the Seidio Dual Pro since I purchased the phone in June, but have been looking for something more substantial. I tried the Otterbox Defender and returned it a day later. The lint and hair that gathers under the plastic screen was driving me nuts. If it was not for that and the creaking of the case when held firmly, I would have kept it and my search would have been over.
The Incipio Dual Pro is still my favorite as far as comfort. It is a simple dual layer case with a very thin silicon inner layer and a nice grippy outer shell. It slips in and out of pockets easily, but provides the least amount of protection. The lip is very shallow and provides just enough clearance you will not scratch the screen face down.
The Trident Aegis is in between the Incipio and Seidio regarding protection. It also follows the traditional setup of a silicon inner layer and hard outer case. It is noticeable thicker than the Incipio. The protective silicon layer is nearly twice as thick and the corners are heavily reinforced. The lip is also a bit deeper. I liked this case, but wanted something that felt more substantial; similar to an Otterbox, but without the screen.
So today my Seidio Convert arrived, and it is perfect for my needs. First off, it comes with two cases and a holster (the holster only works with the heavy case, but you can order a thin holster separately). The first case is the Seidio Surface. It is a snug fitting plastic case that is lined with a felt type of material. This case snaps together from the top and bottom and feels very secure. The grip is excellent. I work in many different conditions and grip is very important to me. I have dropped several phones over the years when my hands get sweaty. I have no worries with this one. I feel the protection is close to that of the Incipio Dual Pro.
When you need that extra level of protection you convert the Surface Case by adding a very heavy thick rubber silicon layer over the top of the Surface Case. Then clip on the plastic outer backing that holds everything together. The three layers combine to offer a level of protection that exceeds the Otterbox Defender, in my opinion. The lip is very deep. There is no way anything can hit the screen if you drop it on a floor or sidewalk. The holster is very high quality. They redesigned it a couple of years ago and have added a lock to ensure it stays in the holster. The only thing I would change is the pin they use on the clip. I would have preferred a metal pin over the plastic one. The icing on the cake for me is the built in kick stand. I video chat with my kids every day when they get home from school and the stand works perfectly for that. The stand is built into the surface case so you can use it both ways. The other unique feature I have not seen before is the cover for the camera. A rubber flap protects the lens and then folds back and clips into the case when you want to use the camera.
The larger heavier cases take a little getting used to, but the transition was no more difficult than when we all moved from small screen phones to the Galaxy S4, and the added protection for me is worth it. I hope this mini review is helpful for someone. I will try to add pictures this weekend if I get a chance.
Are there any cases that accomodate the OEM S-View flip cover? I got a used S4 with a flip cover but I'd like some drop protection. I'd prefer to get a case that works with the flip cover rather than have to buy a stock battery cover.
You should look into getting a Spigen Slim Armor View. they come with a S-view already.
Spigen too fragile? or better
This case is unusual because of the way it features dual protection. Most cases with soft silicone or TPU have a separate case that then snaps into the hard case. Sometimes (like the Otterbox Defender), the soft case is outside the hard case. The Speck has a soft case inside a hard case, but they are a single piece. I expected it to be hard to get the M9 into the case, but in fact it was easy. Removal is a bit more difficult, because rigid back makes it a bit hard to bend - but you won't want to remove it!
The case fits like a glove - probably better than just about any other case I've seen. The hard shell combined with the soft rubber provides great drop protection, and the rubber wraps around the screen to protect it when face down. There is a cutout for the IR sensor on top and the power / earplug jack on the bottom, plus a place for the microphone and camera in back. The volume and power keys are integrated into the case with rubber extensions. Everything works great.
The case holds very well with a single hand because of the rubber grips on the back, and it looks simply outstanding - I have the gunmetal gray M9, but because the design covers the entire phone, it will look the same with the dual tone color model.

I was thinking about getting the candyshell as well but I was torn between the UAG case and the Candyshell. They both work the same way but I went with UAG instead because I was scared the rubber grips at the back would pick up lint in my pockets. Does it pick up lint in your pocket as well?

Sorry, I just saw your post. I never carry mine in the pocket, but the rubber is not the same as the "lint magnets" I have used in the past. I think it will be OK.
For one thing, the rubber is in small strips - less area to pick up lint, but when combined it is great for gripping.
Hey guys, I need to find a all round cover or just a regular cover that protects the USB and other holes. I work as a bricklayer and need to cover the holes from sand and other dirt. I hope you can help me.
