Found this at Best Buy...

If you search around you can find it for about half the list price.
Pretty decent TPU, fits very tightly in the front, should provide decent drop protection and doesn't feel nearly as big as the other big players. Would prefer in black without the design but that's filled with Diztronic!

So this is an absolute copy of UAG:
http://www.amazon.com/Maxboost-Sams...cp_4_YCFJ?ie=UTF8&refRID=17JMH36YYW3TVP5SYCFJ
Since i've really had dilemmas before buying my UAG since it's expensive I thought people would want to know.
This one is cheaper, obviously not as good but for the price it's pretty good.
In an attempt to find a case which would offer me satisfactory protection yet remain at an affordable price, I happened to come across this case from Maxboost. I have a general distaste for protective cases that cost more than they’re worth so the Maxboost was a welcome alternative.
I received the Maxboost case quickly upon ordering it. The looks of the case are nothing to write home about. It’s black, plastic, and has a geometric design on the back with PROTAK written in bold letters across the back face.
The plastic offers a slight bend to it which distinguishes itself from its cheap counter parts, which usually are a hard, brittle plastic. The case almost had a type of rubberized feel to it. This case also seemed to add a little bit more substance to the phone which was nice. It made the phone easier to hold in my hands.
The cutting was well done. All of the ports are easily accessible. Also there is a slight raised lip which protects the phone from drops face down to protect the screen.
I did find that the molding of the plastic especially around the tops and bottoms of the case were not done very well. It seemed like the case was put together in haste.
Overall, I think that Maxboost has a great concept here. I just wish they would take more time to make the molding of the plastic a bit better. I think this would help with the overall look.
If you’re looking for a case that will be able to protect your SIV for a great cost than this is the case for you, otherwise look to spend a little more.

Here is another one like the UAG case for about half the price. I have no complaints, pretty good for the price.
Correction: Not half the price, looks like UAG has reduced their price. UAG: $22.60 Obliq: $14.99

Note: As you can see this is my first review on this account so please if you have any constructive criticism please leave it down in the comments below, and thanks to UAG for giving me this awesome case for me to review and their awesome costumer service is unparalleled compared to other case manufacturers. For this review I picked up the Aero case for my GS5, but you can go on UAG's website where you can find lots of other variations depending on your liking.
Lets start off this review with when you first get your case. The box is very nice and minimalist and comes with your case and a scratch resistant screen protector (that I personally don't use.) that is a nice extra for that 100% protection feeling. Putting the surprisingly light composite case onto my gold GS5 actually complimented the phone very nicely instead of giving it a huge bulkiness such as my otter box defender might give me, or my dreaded Lifeproof case which Is just horrible.
The case itself feels very sturdy. There are no creaks or give whatsoever once you put this case on, it kinda feels like a tank in that aspect,and is also (MIL STD 810G 516.6) certified which if you guys didn't know is military drop testing standards. The side has these rubber grips which keeps the case from slipping off your hands which is appreciated, and a nice touch. On the top and bottom you have these impact resistant corners which make your phone not only drop protected but also a very nice addition to the cosmetics of the case as well. On the front you have this frame that rises above the screen so that you can lay your phone face down with confidence that you won't scratch the screen. On the back you have 5 screws that give your case a very nice industrial feel and is very eye catching. The back also houses the impact resistant core.
Putting this up against the Otterbox defender not only does the UAG case wins in the looks and feel department, but also in the pricing. The Otterbox starts at about 60$ while the UAG case is only 35$ plus free international ground shipping with fed ex ( far superior than UPS) which is an awesome deal. It also comes to show the quality service they provide choosing Fedex over UPS, since Fedex is a bit more expensive and if you refuse to pay the brokerage fees then the sender has to pay them, which is why most sellers choose UPS so that its cheap and cost effective, but a hassle for international consumers like me with their ridiculous pricing for brokerage and unreliable service that is often never on time. (Koodos to you UAG)
A major problem that I find with protection case manufacturers is that their cases tend to have glare and blur when you use flash with the camera or they forgot to put space at the top for the IR blaster. UAG meticulously makes this not a problem for consumers by making these ports still function at the same time give you the same protection without compromise. Another problem is looks. Lifeproof and Otterbox are in direct competition with UAG for protection but will never come anywhere near UAG with their choices of bold colours and their style.
That's all I have to say about the case and don't forget the company themselves. UAG makes high quality cases putting style, comfort, usability, and protection at its top of the list without compromise. The case earns a 10/10 for me and is easily one of the best cases I have ever used for the Samsung Galaxy S5 and any other phone out there that they make. 2 thumbs up from me.
Go and pick up a case for yoursleves at http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/all#samsung-galaxy-s5 Outland is a very nice colour choice in my opinion.
This case is absolutely one of the best cases I have put on any phone very slim, tight fit and offers very good protection. To top it off it is $19.99 now on amazon! I would have gladly paid $40 easily. I just ordered a gold one when I want to switch from my black one!

I hate mine but it is because of the "edge" mostly. Top and bottom want to peel away on the right hand side. Glad you like yours.

I am very satisfied with my verus case as well. i had some minor drops with my phone (like 80cm in height) and no damage whatsoever. i dont know what would happened without case but i feel compfy and safe with this case
Anyone knows are the Verus Thor cases that being sold on ebay genuine?
Great deal!Appreciated to your kind share!I and my girl friend are those accustomed to using cell phone case adequately protecting devices from normal scratches, dents and dings.
Googling how to pick a phone case preferred,I found a pretty useful publication at blog.onu-mall filled with tons of useful publications including how to pick the quality phone case, tracking the blog,i was surprised by a online shop with huge collections of various affordable amazing Samsung galaxy Note 5 Edge case at onu-mall.com/catalog/samsung-accessories/galaxy-note-5-edge-case-cover/, i bought a really unique warm smile patten mobile phone flip leather case for Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Edge at onu-mall.com/smile-patten-mobile-phone-flip-leather-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-5-edge-rose.html for my gf,she is so satisfied with the stylish, lightweight PU and leather cute case with horizontal flip and wallet and holder,all buttons and ports are easy to access,i am so happy making she surprising and would like to share the online store named ONU-MALL ONLINE STORE
I ordered silver one, because other variants weren't possible to send to Czech republic
I have tried some NoName TPU cases from ebay, but they don't fit curved EDGE.
I am using my EDGE without case and the feeling is GREAT
I also use the Versus Thor and I'm very satisfied with it. I drop my phone often and have never had any problems. It's a great product.
Sent from my SM-N915F using XDA-Developers mobile app
Satisfied with it and good quality
I bought this $1.5 case from ebay and so far so good:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231404658294
There's a 1 mm gap between the back of the right side of the phone (edge side) and the case, but I don't think it matters much. I could probably keep it completely flush with a double-sided bonding tape, but I'm one of those weirdos who actually changes batteries occasionally (especially when abroad), so I'll just leave it as is.
Hey all, thought I'd post a few quick reviews of some sleeves I ordered from Amazon. I've always preferred to keep my devices naked in hand, but protected in my pocket.
First up is the Rustic Leather iPhone 6 Plus Sleeve Handmade by Hide & Drink :: Guatemalan Cacao - $9.99 at time of review
Pros:
Cheap
Excellent Quality
Great Protection
Very Attractive
Can Charge Phone While In Case
Cons:
Adds A Slight Amount Of Width
I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of this case when I opened the package. For $10, this sleeve is an absolute no brainer. Honestly, I'd consider it a bargain at two to three times the price. I'm pretty sure I paid $50 for a similar iPod Touch case from Saddleback Leather a few years ago. This product is very comparable, but uses a thinner piece of leather. The Saddleback case was very rigid, which was good and bad. Good in that it was very protective, bad in that it was very bulky in the pocket. I'd actually say this case is a better product because of the thinner leather. It's certainly not skimpy by any means, and I think it's a better compromise of protection vs bulk.
As you can see from the product name, it was designed for the iPhone 6 Plus, but as you can also see from the pics, it's a perfect fit for the Nexus 6p. Very tight to slide the phone in, but fairly easy to remove because of the cutout at the bottom.
Highly Recommended
================
Next up is the xhorizon TM Dark Elastic Neoprene Absorbing Pouch Case Cover ZY for 5.5 inch iPhone 6 Plus - $6.49 at time of review
Pros:
Super Cheap
Decent Protection
Keeps Screen Clean
Slim In The Pocket
Cons:
Less Protective
There's not a whole lot to say about this simple Neoprene case, other than that it does its job well. The Nexus 6p fits perfectly inside and remains fairly snug, requiring a bit of a tug to remove. Nothing significant really, but you don't have to worry about your phone just falling out of this case. As you can see in the pics, the back of the case is slightly taller than the front, which offers a bit of added protection for the top of the phone.
Another nice feature of this case is that the Neoprene does a great job of cleaning the screen as you slide the phone in and out of the case. This became especially apparently when I switched from this case to the leather case above. All of a sudden my screen seems peppered with little dots of lint that I hadn't noticed before.
Protection from this case will be mostly limited to scratches and scuffs from the detritus in your pocket. It may help pad the device in the event of a short fall, but I certainly wouldn't depend on it. For my purposes, though, I find it to be a great case.

Third is the Synthetic Leather iPhone 6 Plus and 6S Plus Sleeve - Slightly Padded Microfiber Lined Executive Professional Synthetic Leather Case by Dockem (Dark Brown) - $9.99 at time of review
Pros:
Slim
Cons:
Unattractive
Creased
This was the first sleeve I ordered for my Nexus 6p and based on the 4.7 out of 5 star average Amazon review (out of 29 reviews!), I had fairly high expectations. This was probably one of the most disappointing items I've received in more than a decade of shopping at Amazon. As you can see in the last pic, it's a very flimsy, thin sleeve. The one I received has a very ugly crease through the middle of it, which was not caused by shipping as it was in a box laying flat with one other item and several inflatable pockets of cushioning.
The Nexus 6p does fit in the case, but it's a pretty tight fit. It's a little more difficult to extract the phone than I expected, but it is manageable with the slot cut out of the top. Not sure what else to say really, I hate this one.
Definitely Not Recommended
================
Last is the SOSAM 2Xpack Microfiber Sleeve Pouch Cover CasePouch For iphone 5 5S /iphone 6 6plus , Samsung HTC ONE / Blackberry Z10 Mini Wallet Purse Hand Bag Cloth Coin Cell Phone Bag Mobile Pouch (Black) - $8.00 at time of review
Pros:
Dirt Cheap
External Pocket
You Get Two?
Cons:
Major Lint Collector
Weird Clasp
You Get Two
At least with this case, I wasn't expecting much. With an effective cost of $4 each, how good can they be? Well, let's just put it this way, I want my $8 back. I have two dogs, and as soon as I opened this package, dog hair was immediately sucked from throughout my house to the felt of this pouch. You'd have thought these things were made by Dyson! On the positive side, the Nexus 6p fits fairly well into this case with a bit of extra room on the sides. The top is another matter though, the device protrudes a few millimeters from the top edge of the pouch. The unwieldy closure is a pain to use and despite the manufacturer's description of a drawstring closure, neither of mine function in that manner. You have to feed the longer string (with the bead) through the shorter string which catches on the bead to keep the pouch closed. Not very innovative and not really that functional.
About the only positive thing I have to say about this case is that it sports an external slot/pocket where you could store a pair of earbuds or a few bucks. Don't waste your money.
Absolutely NOT Recommended
================
I'm still waiting for my fitBAG Beat White custom tailored sleeve for Huawei Nexus 6P. Fine nappa leather pouch with integrated microfibre lining for display cleaning to arrive from Germany. I'll update this post when I receive it.
Do you think the phone would fit in any of these if it has a slim case on it?
Only the Sosam, which I really wouldn't recommend.

That's too bad. I would love to find one that can handle a slim case. I need it to put my phone in when I stick it in my backpack prior to going through airport security.
Thanks for these reviews - VERY helpful!
I had many cases over the years, I like to have sometimes 10-15 cases for my main phone. So I would concern myself quite picky and having experience with variety of quality and prices of cases. The company did provide the case free in exchange for an honest review.
Galaxy S10 Heavy Duty Case - ArmadilloTek serves the purpose of a rugged phone case extremely well.
It goes on and stays on really tightly, it gives it a nice solid feel like it came that way from the factory.
- It offers dual protection with hard plastic on the outside and TPU/soft rubber on the inside.
-The case is well made, no sharp points from the manufacturing process that is found on many cheap cases. They used good quality materials and has a nice rugged design on the back that actually serves a purpose of helping you hold it even when wearing gloves.
-It does weight a bit, but that's expected when you want the additional protection.
-I was a little disappointed that a screen protector was not included, but there is a lip around the screen that provides protection when putting the phone down face first and from objects hitting the screen.
-The side keys are very responsive and stick out just enough not to be in the way.
-The kick stand is very useful and can be locked into place.
-While it was nice they have flip covers for the headphones jack and USB connector, they are pretty large and can get annoying flipping them up every time you want to use them. At the same time there are no covers for the Mics or speakers, so not sure if its really beneficial. The headphone jack and usb connector opening are very large, I didnt have any issues with the multiple chargers nor headphones used.
- It provide good protection for the rear cameras as well.
- The back on the case is on the slippery side, but the sides have a nice rubbery texture for a good grip.
Overall, if your looking for a rugged case for a S10 phone this one should be top of your list.
