Want a good protective case with a lip that covers the phone if I drop it face down, and also one that protects the camera as well, and doesn't add to much bulk. Recently bought this Spigen Case but it seems like it won't do crap if I dropped my phone!

That looks like a strong case. I use a spigen slim fit case with the same air cushioning technology and it protects my phone well.

If you like the Spigen brand, take a look at their Tough Armor case. I can't say enough good things about this case.
I'm slightly disappointed in the Spigen case I purchased. I picked up one of the Galaxy S5 Case Ultra Hybrid cases. My main requirement for a case was that it would cover the silver bezel on the S5 and the Spigen case appeared to according to the pictures. Sadly this is not the case. The silver bezel is small, but it's definitely still there which is really deceiving given the photos on there website.

You have the S5? And also, have you dropped it yet w/the case on?
I picked up the Speck Candyshell case in the store while I wait to see what else comes out. They have always been great protection.

same thing on my case I got the neo hybrid and the silver showing drives me crazy if they had made the lip on the front slightly wider , this would be a keeper , im just waiting and hoping ottterbox comes out with a case in this same blue color and I will order there commuter case
I have a Slim Armor for when I go out to run, walk or hike. I use a Ultra Fit for work and just normal use. I used a Slim Armor on my S4 and dropped it from a bar height table flat on the face and didn't leave a mark on it. Dropped it on the corners a few times as well and it still looks like new out of the case. I have been really impressed with the quality of build and protection of the Spigen over the last year. Not sure I would use anything else with the exception of OtterBox.
I just posted a review of the Poetic Atmosphere, which could fit your needs. I mention the lip protection, which you can see in the picture.

I got my Spigen Tough Armor for the s5 on Tuesday, and it's by far my favorite case I've owned for any of my devices. Definitely prefer this to Lifeproof and Otterbox overall. You can find it on Amazon here.
It's slim, the buttons click easily, and the heart rate monitor and fingerprint reader work like a charm. Only issue is until you get used to it it is a bit difficult to get the charging cover open, but after a day or two of doing it it's pretty easy.
Says it's compatible with Spigen's glass screen protectors as well, I'll be getting one soon.
Thanks for the quick review and pictures!
Do you feel this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone?
According to the product page, the case adds approximately half a centimeter to every dimension. In the hand, it doesn't feel like your phone is any thicker due to the beveled edges.
I just received my Gunmetal Tough Armor case today & there's a good chance I'm going to like it more than the Otterbox I had on my previous phone.
I hate the fact that you can see the plastic bezel on most of the new cases for the S5. That's what I'm trying to cover up with the case!
How secure do you feel holding it? I was very surprised that the case felt very slippery with the hard plastic shell. Debating returning it or trying to spray plastidip to give it some grip.
Also ordered this case can't wait for it to arrive

just ordered an Electric blue one since thats the color phone i wanted but couldn't get. I originally bought a case from best buy which I'll keep till this one comes but I don't like the fact that it slides on from the top and bottom, those cases always F' up screen protectors...

how are you using the fingerprint sensor? which finger and position?
I wonder if it'll work with the wireless charging back cover....
For the ones who have the case, does the bottom plastic part (right below the home button) move around when using the fingerprint features? I have the spigen tpu case and the bottom part below the home button is too flexible.
I have a tough armour and yes it is. It's TPU and a bit thin so does "flex" when you use the finger print reader.

Just got this case today. LOVE the case. I feels comfortable. and im sure if i dropped it, it'd protect it just fine. Only problem, if you have slight bigger fingers, the heart monitor can be a bit difficult to use. But i'd still recommend this case to anyone. A must have
I got the Slim Tough in electric blue, love it. I thought the Tough looked slippery on the back, so I got the Slim Tough. I do like the Slim Tough look more though.
It was tough trying the Spigen case as I have used the Case-Mate tough case for my last three phones and loved it, but no regrets now.
Also works well with the Spigen Glas.tr screen protector.

SO i thought the heart monitor was hard to reach, turns out i was doing it wrong. As long as you just place your finder the spot, it works just fine. So this case is a 5 out of 5
I was looking at this case and the Luvvitt Ultra Armor. Bought the ultra armor. Very happy with it for $13. Either looks like an awesome choice.
anyone have a comparison of the tough armor vs. slim armor?? I like both and not sure which one to get.

I have both of them and much prefer the tough armor.
Forgive me, but my slim armor is at home, so i can't offer pictures until later. I disliked the way the slim armor gripped the front of the phone around the edges of the screen. The left and right sides encroached on the face of the phone about a mm more than the top/bottom. This meant that the bit of metal around the edge only showed at the top/bottom. It drove me batty. I like the feel of the tough armor more as well.

I bought this case before the release haven't got it yet, Looks nice. I got the incipio tough armor case in store on release day, kept the order for the spigen case in case its any better, but it sure does look nicer.
Got mine yesterday.
It's kind of nice yet I thing the power and sound button are now very hard to press.
Also it become complicated to open the usb cover (doable with a pen though)

Is this code for Amazon?
You can find this at http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s5-case-ultra-fit-shell.html although I bought mine off Amazon.
This case is slim fit and snaps on. It looks great, fits snugly, and gives good access to all ports. The color matches up with the gold s5 extremely well. As opposed to the cases that have a separate back and rim, this adds almost nothing at all to the bulk of the phone. it feels like it will take drops and bumps well without cracking. As with all slim-fit snap-on shells I would not expect this to protect the screen. I do expect that it will do a very good job of protecting the body from scratches and bumps. It is not padded so it won't ease the shock of a drop. The Spigen page doesn't claim anything more than a good grip and that it will "help prevent the case from accidental drops". It's made of plycarbonate with urethane coating.
This case came with a Steinheil ultra crystal screen protector. The protector is cut perfectly for the screen and I was able to reposition it as necessary. It is indeed crystal clear. I haven't had it on long enough to test for scratch endurance.
Overall I love this case. It's my new favorite.

What case is everyone using?
Exactly what the title asks.
This is not a thread for what you think is the best case out there. This thread is for you to post what case/s you use and your experiences with it/them.
It is also to help other users find new cases that they may like.
This thread will also be used for cleaning up the clutter of people starting new threads asking about cases they should use.
Maybe include a link if you think it's good.
Right now, I am naked and so is my phone. Only have a tempered glass protector on it.
As of now, the options will be limited, but this thread will explode as more cases become available.
No case, and no screen protector for me on any of my devices. Have never had a scratch or any other damage to any of my phones.
My Spigen Neo Hybrid Came in today - and I am very impressed with the quality of this case. I had the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S5 and S4 and while I liked the case for those phones, the aluminum shell was kind of flimsy and while it looked good - it was not as durable as I might have liked - in fact the metal around the hole for the battery broke on one of the cases I was using.
After getting the new Neo Hybrid case, it looks and feels more like a premium case - the metal surrounding the case is very solid and has a very premium feel to it. All in all it adds a very nice level of protection without adding bulk - and it keeps that very high end feel that comes with the NOTE 4 outside of the case.
FYI - I have also installed a BODY GLOVE Screen Protector - it took a little getting used to at first - it does not cover the glass from side to side because of the curved edges - but it does cover the viewing area quite well and looks good too.

I got talked into a case at the T-Mobile store. They only had one to choose from, the Samsung S-View Flip Cover. I'm really liking it. The shell is thin and slightly hard, and I can access customized settings through the window without having to open the case.
It was $50, and at first I was going to go back and return it but after having it for a day I'm going to keep it.

You can get 50% off on that case directly from Samsung as a gift for registering your N4 with them. They give you 50% off on all of their accessories priced at $49.99 or less, you can order up to five accessories.

I an still probably going to buy a case just to have some protection before Otterbox gets released. And If sprint store doesn't honor Samsung coupon, then when the online order shows up, I'm returning original back to sprint...
I'm waiting for Seidio to release their Dilex cases. Had one for the note 3 and I love the metal kickstand. I'm hesitant on buying the Spigen Slim/Tough armor because I'm hearing bad things about the plastic kickstand.
Received my Neo Hybrid in Satin Silver, it is really nice, just need phone to put in it
I went with the White Spigen Slim Armor case for now, and may order the Slate or Champagne Gold (or both) later.

Using a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Slate case on my Note 4 right now. Otterbox Commuter case is ordered and on its way. Using Ringke screen protector(from Ringke fusion).
To hold me until I find something more protective that gets substantial positive feed-back, I'm now using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear that I bought during the (now dead?) Spigen early-morning sales for $3.49 + $3.00 shipping. So far so good.
I'm using Spigen Ultra Hybrid case too. But is mint on the grip with clear back.

Before 2010, i used screen protectors and cases, because old smartphones (and PDAs) would scratch easily, not the case anymore, and since 2010 my phones is naked 100%
I keep jumping back and forth between naked and the Grey S-View.
Mostly the Spigen capsule in metal slate, the first of many Spigen cases i liked. And now the Obliq rugged slim case in Grey.

I ordered that one too, waiting for it to arrive in a few days. What I am looking forward to see is a case (like on my Note2) that replaces the back cover and only has a flap that covers the screen. This type of "case" is the thinnest and for me the most interesting. they are not available yet for the Note 4 though. here is a video of what I mean
I'll get my body glove satin case in black color in early of November, but won't be able to photo it with the phone, I'm waiting for samsung in my country release it's bronze gold color. lol

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.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case
Spigen Slim Armor Case (*)
Spigen Neo Hybrid Case
Spigen Thin Fit Case
SP:
Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Guard
Spigen Crystal Hard Surface Screen Guard
Here are my questions:
I'm not buying these for protection at all, the reason i want to buy a case is i prefer to have a case when im outside (for some weird reasons i feel more comfortable with one outside )
and the reason i need screen protector is because my hands have so much friction to the screen! and btw the spigen kickstand sounds useful to me!
do you have any of these? do you like it?! (im basically asking for user experience)
Q1) Are any of those cases easy to take off? i plan to take it off once i arrive home! i don't want to scratch the metal of my note 4 and spend some time smashing it to take it off (and which of those are easy to take off?)
Q2) do the screen protectors help the friction? and do they bother the s-pen? i tried it on a note 2 with a random screen protector and it feels awful to work with, but those might be different!
I would go with the Neo Hybrid out your list. To me, it is the best looking case in you list. I've tried most of them. I don't think any of them are hard to take off.
The spigen crystal screen guards are good. I wouldnt say they would reduce friction, but they wont add to it. Spen is unchanged in funtionality.
The glass protector will produce a halo.

None of the cases scratch the metal. particles between the case and metal scratch the metal.
I have the Spigen Tough Armor.
Nice case, feels good in the pocket. Good protection, rubber corners and such. The buttons are a little hard to identify by feel alone, that's one complaint.
Second complaint is the kickstand - Not so great. It clicks into place and it's HARD to get it out with just your fingernail. Then once you get it out, it flops around so you have to kind of hold it in place while you prop up the phone... and any bump will flip it back closed and cause your phone to fall.

How does the Tough Armor compare against the Slim Armor?
I'm gonna be getting a Galaxy Note 4 soon and I'm looking into getting a either a Spigen Tough Armor or Slim Armor case.
Spigen Neo Hybrid
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid for my Note 4 and honestly, I am kind of disappointed. I had it for my Samsung S4 and Note 3 and absolutely love the case for those phones. Never had a problem.
Even though the it fits perfectly for the Note 4, the trim is beginning to have the paint fade and chip away (never had this problem with the S4 or Note 3).
Also, regarding the Spigen Neo Hybrid, it is cut so specifically that some aftermarket micro USB or headphone jacks might not fit.

I have a Spigen Case Capsule and it is not good, the sides are too sharp. The overall feel of it is not good so I would steer clear.
Also with or without a case on the phone you can use the S pen as a kick stand.

yeah i tried the s-pen trick but it didn't work for me still im not gonna do that because i might damage my s-pen, specially that there are no replacements here i heard some bad about case capsule somewhere else too saying that its too sharp. but sounds like the other ones are not bad! anyway i was just going to order today
edit: after a bit of using my screen protector no longer has friction! It has so much reflection but anyway i changed my mind now its smooth and good! It just needed to be used a little!

I HAVE BOTH. Tough Armor is a little thinker than the Slim Armor. They both protect very well. and the thickness is not noticeable. But if you the type that is a stickler for the slim of the phone, go with the slim armor.

Ok my order arrived today, Let me start with case: its bulky but awesome i love it! buttons are not that terrible but not great, doesn't bother me really, its weird but it makes heart rate sensor easier to use i love it in total, worth the money
(and as you said the kickstand isn't great, but it doesn't really matter much to me)
i also ordered a xionami mi power bank its awesome but super-heavy, anyway
the screen protector is awful, just terrible, i mean, it made me cry to install, after an hour i installed it (a bit miss aligned ) and it not only makes screen look awful, but also gives it even more friction! the only reason i didn't take it right of is money :S i will let it be there for a little bit just for test! and give the other one to a friend or something ! (and i regret applying the wet cloth to screen, realized it was alcohol soaked cloth and it probably damaged my screen s-pen feels aweful to use! its not accuracy but how it feels! i felt that it's damaging my nib so put the old already used nib i had! this was my first and last screen protector
I have the Spigen Tough Armor in gunmetal blue. It does a great job and it is a little bit slimmer than my Otterbox Defender, which I mainly use when I'm at work. Otherwise I use the Spigen when I'm at home or everywhere else but work when I want something less bulky at times.
Also you can't beat the kickstand that comes on the back of the tough armor.

I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid for my Note 4 and honestly, I am kind of disappointed. I had it for my Samsung S4 and Note 3 and absolutely love the case for those phones. Never had a problem.
Even though the it fits perfectly for the Note 4, the trim is beginning to have the paint fade and chip away (never had this problem with the S4 or Note 3).
Also, regarding the Spigen Neo Hybrid, it is cut so specifically that some aftermarket micro USB or headphone jacks might not fit.

That is quite disappointing, thanks for pointing that little defect out. I won't be getting a Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my Note 4, when I get it.

Spigen has released the metal version which is made of aluminium and won't lose paint.

Yeah, I've seen that online. But Spigen's Neo Hybrid Line of cases don't seem to offer as much protection as their Slim and Tough Armor line of cases does.
I have the neo hybrid metal, it's awesome. ?

Armor series are as tough as the name! Hybrids are less tough and more slim and handy.
