For those that want to protect your Galaxy S5 and try to keep the bulk down a bit. The Otterbox CommuterSeries is a great case I am testing out. I like the edges are rounded off, this makes grabbing the S5 much better. Hope this helps those that can't actually try one at the store and want or need to see before they purchase.

LOL interesting..
a little too 'hip' for my phone but certainly neat
hahaha ok ok ill admit, it is a little too hip....
Lol...with todays technology I think that classifies as retro.
If it didnt look so bulky I would order one. They should have just printed the cassette look on a regular TPU case.
I just bought one on a whim!!
Now I need a matching wallapaper/ theme.
Have to admit...not at all what I was expecting but agree it is very cool (and retro).

Haha yep I would do the exact same! Neat though. Is it plastic or rubber?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
it is silicone. i have really gotten used to tpu cases and their tight fit. im not a big fan of silicone cases at all these days. this is BETTER than most SILICONE cases, but it is still no tpu. pretty much if you dont mind a silicone case you will like this, but if you love the tpu cases, dont bother. it looks really cool and it fits really nice. it wraps around the front of the phone which i always like to see a case do. if they made it a little tighter i would reccomend it, but it just doesent fit the way i want it to :/
Well thank you for the info,
not to hijack or anything but what is the difference between silicon and TPU?
tpu is thermo-polyurethane. it feel like a hard plastic case and has the shine of a hard plastic case but it is completely flexible. a tpu case never streches either, they typically fit tighter than silicone cases from the start too. and since it deosent strech it wont slip off a few months later like most silicone cases. also since tpu is smoother and not as gummy as silicone, dirt doesent really cling to it, and you can clean it with a wet papertowel or some windex.
Okay, got it now. Thanks.
They have these in lots of different colors too if you look on amazon, for lots of different phones too! Pretty awesome but I love my kickstand case too much to give it up.
I'm debating on black or creme. Idk if I could give up my case that protects probably a lot better though.
That is pretty cool, but I think an NES controller case would be even cooler.
i got creme! i thought it looked more tapey haha it protects pretty well to be honest with you
SOLD. Thanks
Paid $25 for this like 2 weeks ago from AT&T. :/

The case is very good.
Im considering this
This is my first case for my SR. I have bought several cases since but keep coming back to the pop case. I just love it. Wished it had a kick stand. The Active Seidio is my second fav. Both are rugged but the pop case looks 'cleaner' to me.

Yes. I agree this case is very good. I was looking for something extremely thin hence its on sale.

I hope it works well for you. It looks like one of those silicone versions which I had two of. The problem with those (silicone) are after awhile, they tend to get loose and sag a bit. I got frustrated. Eventually I went back to the pop case. Overall, my preference is just hard cases I think. Again, I hope this case works out for you.
I'll take the case if you still have it

This one is much better quality than the $2 silicone cases we see on ebay. I agree that I am taking a chance with the silicon case. It offers zero protection against a fall, but it fits nicely in Belkin GPS Dash mount I have. I use this phone for GPS.

The diztronic case you got is actually pretty good. My friend has 1 on his atrix2 and it's holding up pretty well. I was actually thinking about getting that exact same case. I have a white sr and think that case would be perfect. Using a seidio surface case now and I think that case will work with the seidio holster...
i have one of these, its great and comfortable to hold in your hand.

Also the material is different. It does not "stick" in the pocket like other case. The grip is different.

Not to answer for him, but having the official bumper twice and both times selling them because I just didn't like the functionality of it. Comparing both, the Rearth is like any tpu case out there just a clear back, where the official bumper makes the phone a bit wider to my personal preference.

It does make the phone quite a bit thicker than the official bumper. Still feels good to use though.

Great review, I've been using the case for about a week now and when I finally took it off I remembered how much easier the buttons were to press. If they could fix them this case would be amazing. I wish my plastic was as clear as yours, mine looks "foggy" even after removing the screen protectors.

They seem to pick up grease very quickly which gives a foggy effect. Try using window cleaner on it.

Another user used Meguiar's NXT car wax. Just a little dab on the front and back and it looked shiny and new again! LOL.
Would it be too much If I asked If you could measure the total width of the phone with the case on? Just to get a better picture of how much it adds on the sides as in the videos and photos it doesn't look more than 1.5-2mm.
Thanks!

It was $59.99 They weren't going to sell them til tomorrow launch but I argued because the website said they were in stock today at my local sore. Which is why I drive out there.
Could you tell me, that the back cover of s-view is the same as the normal S4 back cover ? Or It's thicker ?
There is another thread open that shows the two back covers. The s-view cover is a hair thicker.

The S-View Cover Linked in the OP is not the Samsung S-View Cover. I believe all conversation about buying one from best buy and such is about the Official S-View Cover. Just a heads up for anyone who didn't click the link.
YAH the reason i bought the one from amazon is because it comes with a kickstand.

I received my tridea s view case from Amazon, and it fits the phone perfectly. However, I'm not thrilled with the case. Here's my take:
The good: the s view feature works great, better than anticipated, and the case does a nice job of standing the phone up horizontally. The case is thin, and doesn't add much bulk at all. I like the color (I got the blue case).
The bad: the case feels cheap, almost like cardboard. I suppose this might be partly to make it thin, but I don't like the feel of it. Also, there is no protection whatsoever for the corners of the phone. I had hoped that the part that holds the phone in would come around the corners, but it doesn't. What is a case for, other than to protect the phone from drops and scratches? This case provides poor protection. Also, the cover doesn't stay closed, it just flaps around.
I'll keep using this case until someone comes up with a better s view option. I'm sure there will be more knock-offs as time goes on.

You can get it for $40 on Amazon now.
Would you recommend this case? I like it from the pictures but is it really low quality? How about plastic cover? Is it soft plastic or could damage metal sides? Thanks...

Can I have this case? Would go well with the Ultra Hybrid on my 5s.
My Ultra Hybrid just arrived from Amazon. I went for the clear version. Phone arrives Friday, but initial thoughts are good. Has a slight "tacky" feel ti it which should eliminate any slips from the hand. Will give more thoughts on Friday once i try the phone in it.

Thanks for the review! Great job.
I was going to get one of these as it's available on Prime on Amazon (I have Prime) but the cut out for the camera and flash is too big and offers little to no protection from what I can see. In the end I went for one of these:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Film-Better...UTF8&qid=1396965708&sr=8-8&keywords=galaxy+s5
But I usually end up with 2-3 cases so that is just the first.
Very tempted to buy one of these.
I have a question for you... I have the same case and I have noticed that when I place the device on any flat service the device will almost rock back and forth if I try using the device while it's laying on the flat service. I can only imagine that this is happening because the legs on the case are not flat. Can you please let me know if you have a similar issue with your case?
Thank you!

Go for it. Great fit. Not too much added bulk. Feels "grippy" in the hand. Only thing is, if you have short nails, its awkward if not impossible to open the charging cover with the case on.
Nice case
I just bought a Spigen for my S5. Looking forward to it.
After having the case for 2-3 days I just noticed I purchased the Gun Metal instead of the black I initially wanted.. FAIL
