So the Slim Armor and the UAG made sweet love and created a Tough Armor. It's only avaiable for the Iphone 5 now but would you buy one?
Style of the Slim with a bigger lip than the UAG and those Air cushions. $29.99

I'd buy one, hopefully they make one for the s4

I ordered a UAG last night for my s4 (had one on my s3, so I like them)..
I like the styling of the Slim Armor, but want more lip protection the front like the UAG.
I seen the obliq and also like the styling of that (looks similar to the UAG), but reviews say UAG is alot better.
If the Spigen tough armor can be slim, i may consider.
i much prefer the look of the spigen tough armor over the otterbox. i personally find otterbox cases overly bulky and ugly. if it came out for the s4, i'd probably buy one if i dropped my phone a lot, but since i don't, i find that my neo hybrid suffices.
on a side note: does anyone else find the image verification too hard to read at times?

Yeah don't get the slim armor. I bought it and never used it since it has like no lip. Ended up selling it along with my Incipio case on ebay. I have 3 uag cases and just ordered the 4th one. Now I have every color lol. Def the best case

Like THE TRANSFORMER, looks cool. I wonder if it will weights a lot to the phone
Spigen Slim Armor View or OtterBox Defender?
Which case is better /in droptest & everyday life/?
It is very important to me, because I would like to buy better one
Please, vote!
The otterbox defender is a more protecting case than the spigen slim armor case...if you drop your phones alot and you dont want to have to much expenses on always repairing the device i suggest the otterbox defender case

Yeah, I allready watched some videos on YouTube with Otterbox. They are very good, but I can't compare it to Spigen Armor View, because I can't find anything like "droptest S4" in this case. It's important to me to keep my superamoled screen & gorrila glass on S4 after something bad happens. That's why I wonder about Spigen View Case. Maybe it's more protective for stones when it drop on front face?
I currently use a Slim Armor with a Nano Slim Glass Screen protector and I love it, now it also depends if you drop your device a lot, I usually dont or even hardly ever do, but im sure if I drop it with this combo that I have i'll be OK.
There's a reason why there isn't any drop tests for the slim armor, it's because it's not that protective. It's good to protect the back and sides from everyday use, but for drops, not so much.

Maybe just the slim armor, but the slim armor view protects all of the sides when closed.
The Slim Armour view is just the same about the regular slim Armour but just with a face cover..and the cover is there to just only cover the screen..nothing more..

Are you saying it's not worth the 50 bucks?
I'd used Spigen Slim Armor View for about a month and I liked it very much. But after official KK 4.4.2 update, the home button on the front cover is no longer working (I guess Samsung had their S-View cover in mind). So I returned it the retailer and awaiting for Otterbox Defender as a replacement (credits to MobileFun). I've read a lot of positive reviews about it. :good:
Is there any other good S-View case, aside from the official samsung one?

I've seen a few out there, the one at the below link is quite decent looking and offers some more functionality over the Samsung one.

Thanks but it seems a bit expensive... for that I would prefer to buy a fake black matte one from AliExpress for 5 bucks shipped.

To be honest I would probably do the same, there are plenty of cheap chinese ones out there, its just getting one thats half decent quality.
Does anyone know why Spigen have not got a Armor View case out for the S5 ? instead all they offer is a magnetic clip to keep the official S-View case closed the Armor View case was the best one out for me for my S4 im really sad that there is no version for S5.

I am so happy thank you just hope the UK shop stocks them buzzing now
Hi, I have a very limited choice and they are:
Spigen Case Capsule
Spigen Case Tough Armor
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.

actually from my usage i found even gorilla glass 2 to be scratch-proof for me so the only reason i want screen-protector is friction, i can't play nova (my hands stick to screen) lol
but thanks for answer! don't they scratch the metal part of the Screen?!

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.

thanks for you answer sounds like i better choose the neo(althought the Tough Armor's rear guard sounds god! and i might give the screen protector a try! i guess they don't change screen quality either!
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 only wish the kickstand was more solid.

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.

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.

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