If you are a fan of rugged yet slim cases, definitely take a look at the Urban Armor Gear case for the Galaxy S4. The case consists of a shock-absorbing inner rubber layer, and a rigid plastic mid-shell. Each corner has been reinforced with thick rubber to protect your phone from those deadly corner drops. UAG offers the case in four colors and includes a screen protector. At $35, this case contends with the Otterbox Defender and SPIGEN SGP Slim Armor.
In my opinion, this case bests both the Otterbox and SPIGEN in two important areas. First, it's much slimmer that the Otterbox Commuter, while offer similar protection. Second, it has much taller lip than the SPIGEN Slim Armor.

It looks legit to me, but your mileage may vary. It's only $5 cheaper, so not very suspicious.
Hey thanks for the nice review. Could you elaborate more on the included screen protector? I was leaning towards a glass screen protector and a cheaper case but now I'm leaning towards the UAG and using the included one. I really don't want to pay more than $35 on protection between cases and screen protectors. As far as non-glass screen protectors go how is the UAG one?

it is not 5$ cheaper
the price on checkout is $21.45 ... so it is more than 12 $ cheaper
anyone can confirm this is genuine ?????
Thanks for the review... I think I will be ordering 1!
In for best place to buy from the cheapest possible. Thanks!

I haven't installed it since I have a dummy phone, but it feels like your typical $3 screen protector from Acase or Halo. I've never used a glass screen protector, but I guess it's safe to assume this one isn't as high quality.
I'll try to post a case and screen protector giveaway on our site tomorrow.
Thanks! I bought one yesterday. Shopandriod has them in stock for $29.95 + I had a 15%off coupon and got free shipping. Should be here Fri or Sat!
This really is a great case. Protective, but slim. I have the aero, but I'm really tempted to use that 15% off coupon at Shopandriod to get the white one too.
Do you know what the dimensions are of this case?
Best price

It appears it is since imarine.com has a BBB score of 'A' and a good Reseller Review. They charge 8.95 flat-rate shipping though so it still ends up being about 30 bucks.
I picked mine up off of epal (shopepal.com) for $25 and free shipping. Was a little hesitant at first but they are a US based seller and also have an A+ BBB rating. Should be legit. I can't post links since I just joined but you can find them with an easy search.
Ill follow up when it is delivered to confirm.
Received my White UAG case today from Shopandroid. LOVE IT! Fits great, size is great, perfect case for me.
Anyone have the orange one? I have the Aero, and I may add another color to the mix but I'm torn between the Orange and white. I have a black mist S4
Just ordered the scout color from shop android. $25 and free shipping can't beat it!

Having used both Spigen Slim Armor and UAG...
Having used both Spigen Slim Armor and UAG, here are my opinions.
As far as looks, the Galaxy S4 with Spigen Slim Armor (Metal Slate) looks like something James Bond might slip out of the inside pocket of his tuxedo. The Galaxy S4 with UAG (Scout) looks like something a Navy Seal might wrestle out of a tactical vest during a firefight.
I have dropped my Galaxy S4 while equipped with the Spigen Slim Armor. The fall was from about 4 feet high onto an unpadded hardwood floor. The case landed the top left corner as evidenced by a temporary "bruise" in the TPU but the phone was completely unharmed. However, it was that fall that inspired me to purchase the UAG case.
The UAG is, itself, a very slim case. I was expecting more bulk but was very pleasantly surprised. The increased depth of the UAG is, almost completely, attributed to the protective "lip" that surrounds the screen. Though, I still prefer the Spigen Slim Armor for slipping in and out of my pockets or for when I don't want my Galaxy S4 to look so "tactical", I prefer the UAG for everything else.
One specific trait about the UAG case that makes it a great utility case is that it has an incidental cavity behind the "UAG" logo that's perfect for carrying additional MicroSD cards, if you are one of us who often carry additional cards.

They do slide around a bit in the space. I have a couple ideas to prevent them sliding about but it hasn't been too much of a concern to make it an urgent necessity.
Will this case work with a zagg shield?

Hello my fellow Canadian,
I live down in London and was in the same boat as you. Everywhere I went it was either sold out or they didn't have it. Your only chance is to buy it online. You can check out futureshop or best buy, they have it on there for 24.99 with free shipping I think but they only have the black one. Ebay and amazon is another method but don't know about the shopping cost. Www.Puremobile.ca is another site but I think they might be still sold out. You could also check those Wind stands in the mall, I went to one of them before but they were sold out.
I ended up getting my white (they have the black one also) OEM Bumper from www.blueshop.ca. It was Free shipping just had to pay the tax, came in 2 days.
Don't know where other members got their bumper from.
Hope this helps and Happy Hunting .

Thanks my Canadian Friend! Hopefully I can get one at Wind. BTW, what are your experiences with the bumper? Good or bad?
I actually just got it in the mail a couple of days ago, I was using the Rearth Ringke Fusion case for a while and then the Spigen ultra slim one for a bit. So far the bumper is great. There have been various reports that the bumper's aluminum finish that goes around it cracks at the bottom near the USB port. There are various replicas you can get if you don't want to drop 30 bones on the OEM one. The replica bumpers also breaks in the same place. Keep in mind the original OEM one is obviously made From better quality than the replicas. Some people like the replicas more, no idea why. The bumper doesn't give the phone that much bulk and only protects the edges obviously. You can combo the bumper with a dbrand skin and it would look awesome and also provides scratch protection for the back.
So far mine didn't break yet and my older brother had his for a couple of months and it didn't break yet. So we can only wait and see for now.

Poetic bumper
Hey,
I'm in Toronto as well. Got my bumper from here:
Poetic Borderline Bumper (Blue) @ Amazon
Since I have a trial prime membership, the shipping was free. The bumper itself is awesome. Not sure how it is compared to the OEM one, but this bumper looks nice and gets the job done

Using both of them each of them has their pro and cons.
OEM looks better than the Poetic Bumper.
Poetic Bumper is less bulky and easier to hold in the hand compared to the LG bumper.
OEM has better button clicks (has built in 'clicks')
In Toronto too.
I don't recommend the bumper due to the lack of protection for the rear glass panel. I got a very sturdy TPU case off ebay for $5. A friend scored the same thing for $3 =.=. Takes a while to ship from China, but totally worth it.
If you really want a bumper over a full case, you can still find it on ebay for single digit prices. It won't be the official one, but I doubt the official one is really any better.
Blueshop.ca has it. They also have great shipping times and prices for Canadians

Go with the Poetic bumper. Not as pretty but feels better in the hand, the rubber part grips better on flat surfaces and it's 1/3 of the price of the official bumper.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
There you go. Poetic bumper on amazon.ca for a great price and shipping. Since all the bumper's crack at the bottom eventually and you might possibly don't want to drop 30 bucks for a OEM one, you should get the poetic one. I only got the OEM Bumper cause I wanted white

Go to pacific mall!!!!
Really? Would PMall have Nexus 4 cases?
For OEM bumper, I think your best bet is as Kendaihou mentioned, futureshop or best buy.
If ever you pass by Quebec, you can get at a Videotron shop for $20 (this is where i got mine, and they used to carry a ton of them).
The reason that the grey plastic below the usb port cracks is due to bending with installation/removal. I find out if you don't remove the case often and only remove/bend it from the TOP corners, the plastic at the bottom of the usb port shouldl not crack.
And by the way, nothing beats OEM quality
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
That will take long time

Here's my video review of the Speck Candyshell Grip Case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I was pleasantly surprised by this case and it has become one of my favorite cases for the Note. It also has a wider cutout for note 4s with different microphone placements.
Another great review, I just can't see myself spending $40 bucks for a non-holstered case.
I wish Verus's Note 4 cases were through Amazon/Prime so I can try one out along with the Neo Hybrid.
Really appreciate the case reviews, you saved me a lot of time and frustration man.
Nice, please do a video on the Otterbox Symmetry case for the Note 4.

Yeah, they're not sold through Amazon at this time.
It's technically listed through the third party seller system even though it's Verus - See here: Galaxy Note 4 Case, Verus [Heavy Drop Protection] Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Case [Thor][Charcoal Black] Extra Slim Fit Dual Layer Hard Case - AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, International, and Unlocked - Case for Samsung Galaxy Note IV SM-N910S Late 2014 Model
So if there's an issue or I need to return it, I have to go through Verus instead of Amazon. I don't mind paying the shipping, but I feel better going through Amazon instead of the third party vendor method.
Amazon covers my return shipping and picks it up at my door if I return something as opposed to having to do all that myself when dealing with a third party vendor.

The fit is pretty tight. It's not hard but I noticed that it is the hardest case to take off out of all the ones I've bought. I noticed that it has gotten easier after the first removal and installation so it might become easier to remove as time passes. Hope this helps.

Having purchased a lot of things through both Amazon & their third party resellers my experience is there has been no difference between them when you need to return something or have a problem with it. The return procedure is exactly the same for both of them. You print the prepaid shipping label & return it. Amazon stands behind their third party resellers to insure you have the same satisfactory experience purchasing through them as you do purchasing directly from Amazon.

That's just a standard tpu case that will flood eBay at that price minus shipping soon. It will have rough edges and loose fits on sides. It will yellow and get scratched up within month if not weeks.
Only good for holding you over until better stuff comes.

the description specifically says that the back is "PC" or polycarbonate. the TPU is probably being used as cushion.
The case is a polycarbonate back and TPU bumper, which is the same design as Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear. The TPU being flexible makes it much easier to put the case on, while the polycarbonate back makes it more protective against drops.

Do a search on eBay "nexus case pc back" for example. You will see what at I meant.
Theses things will flood the market at half the price of that Amazon listing.
Full soft tpu case are sometimes less than a buck a piece.
As I said if you need something to hold you over, sure. But don't expect anything good. And it certainly is not a "good deal".
Given the estimated shipping date it may not even get here before my phone.
I've been here before, believe me it's worth spending a couple of more dollars to be on the safe side.
Btw, is it just me or it just makes the deal look shady when they jack up the shipping like that to hide the true price?

Yea, the real cost is hidden in the shipping lol. Re the case though, I just want something thin and light that can still protect from scratches. I had the Spigen Neo hybrid and the other one with the colored back on my note 3 and eventually went caseless because of how much thinner the phone felt without those bulky cases. They look great and do offer a lot of protection but ultimately added too much bulk which is why this current Moko case has attracted me. Not because of the price but because of how little bulk it seems to add in the pics.
Anyhow, if you come across any thin and light cases be sure to post back and let us know, I'm sure I'm not alone in the thin light boat LOL.

yeah, im in the same boat. went through many cases with my n5. including a couple identical to this one being discussed here. i eventually settled on ringke fusion case after a thinner case failed to protect the screen after i dropped it onto concrete from waist height. not sure if the ringke case would have saved it but i feel the extra few mm added around the edges do provide some protection that the thinner cases do not.
these transparent cases look very thin in renders but i can almost guarantee you they are no thinner than any full soft tpu case. these things provide mostly what i would call scratch protection rather than drop protection. my biggest problem however is most of these cases are cheaply made in high volumes from the same factories. most of them will turn yellow quickly and the stiff clear back will get scratched up easily. if you are really lucky, you end up with one that has sharp/rough edge that keeps messing up your screen protector, glass or film.
i have tried everything from backless bumpers (pointless) to amour cases (ugly and bulky). for now i will probably stay with Ringke fusion or one of the several others just like it, at least i know what i will be getting and these companies do have decent customer service to take care of manufacturing or design problems free of charge.

Looked up the Ringke FUSION and it looks great. I see they are having issues re their confirmation of the 6P ship dates but I looked up a review of the Ringke FUSION on the Note 5 and it's great, it's along the lines of what I have in mind, it looks to add very little bulk! Hopefully they get it out soon enough so they can capitalize on the initial surge of sales of 6P accessories.
thanks! Just ordered one myself.
:Canceled my order:
I hate scammy pricing like this. Its basically $5 with free shipping you can't return or get refund if/when its crap.
grabbed one also, thanks OP!

It's a good warning for sure, but it's still $4.99 total for a case that - judging from the company's other products and their reviews - is most likely fine. That's an acceptable risk for me.
If I've learned anything from past experience its that I will settle with the Supcase unicorn beetle case because its awesome. I'll still purchase about a dozen cases, but chances are very likely that I will settle with that one.
