Thoughts on a non-metal bumper "case"? - Galaxy Note 4 Accessories

What do you guys think about something like this for the Note 4?

I already have a screen protector on it and I figure with the back, it's replaceable in a worst case scenario!
Would this type of bumper be any good? More than anything I think it would just provide lips so that I could place it down on a table without worrying about scratching...

And there are a view different kinds, like this clear one (which is also "hard TPU")

I have a different bumper case; it's TPU but the openings look very similar to the one's linked. IMO, these cases shouldn't be considered ideal for drop protection. I've looked and the camera bezel protection is nil; maybe some protection, if dropped on a flat surface. Not confident in that but sitting on a flat surface may be OK.
I just use it around the house or quick outings. I just don't plan on dropping this phone with this case but that's a risk. The case seems sure to grip in my hand holding and transferring to and from my belt mounted pouch; feels lighter, slimmer and easier on/off as well as holding in landscape view. My 2¢.

[Q] In need of good slip case available in US. Suggestions? (Solved!)

Hey Guys,
I am looking for a good slip-in case that is readily available in the US. I'm looking for one similar to either the Meteor Slip Case or the OEM Neoprene slip case that came with the Nexus One.
Meteor Slip Case:

OEM Neoprene Slip Case:
Unfortunately, according to THIS thread, the Meteor Slip Case is not available from a reliable seller anywhere in the US. And I am just not sure where I can buy the OEM slip case.
Any recommendations of where to buy either of the above mentioned cases, or ideas for similar cases would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Well, I actually found the slip case for my Nexus One and decided to give it a shot. This fits my needs perfectly. It protects the screen and keeps dust away from the core of the phone while still allowing me to see my LED notifications without having to remove the phone from the case.
Mission accomplished!
Good idea ...I'm going to try my Nexus 1 pouch!
It's not hard to get the phone into the case and it still holds a tight grip, which is nice.
You could easily stretch the neoprene a bit to cover the entire phone but I personally like having the ability to see my notifications easily.

Cases that don't cover up curved sides of the screen?

Anyone know of any cases that don't overlap the curved sides of the screen? They feel so nice and I'd hate to cover them up with a case.
similar to this:

You will find 90% of Silicon or TPU cases will cover all of the edges, however most hard covers will not. I would search for hard covers if I were you. Personally I would not leave any part of the edge exposed as just 1 drop on to any part of those exposed areas can and in many cases have cracked the screen on many models. Just be extra careful. It's happened to me twice the second time wasn't my phone
I have The Ringke Slim case. It levels with the curve glass and fits perfectly.
+1 for Ringke Slim. Very nice case on revised edition, fits in like a puppy

(Review) Mercury Gooseberry Leather Flip cover

Just got the Gooseberry Leather Flip cover from Mercury for my S4. It looks premium, goes nicely with my other leather accessories. So if you're using an S4 and want to cover the whole plastic it has, this case is meant for you. It's too early to judge the leather quality but for some quick touch, it feels smoothly great in my hands. The sewing line is tidy and firm, just like other premium leather stuffs would have.
The inside plastic piece, which is to hold the S4, is well done with clean cuts with no ingot. It sticks to the leather case and fixes the device firmly.
My previous case was the Neo Hybrid which didnt add much bulk to the S4 and I'm so used to it. So switching to this case, I had to spend a day or two to get used to it. I would say it adds double bulk, compared to my previous case, when closed. Thus, I find myself carrying the phone more often than before.
Here are some more pics:

(Review) POETIC Affinity Series Hybrid PC/TPU Case for the LG v10

Been rocking this case for a couple days now and It's pretty great. The clear parts are a hard PC/plastic, and the frosted parts are TPU. It is molded together well and there are no visible seams to be found. TPU is not too soft or too hard, it provides a decent amount of grip, but lets face t, short of a rubber, lint collecting case, the material is not going to pride the grip as much as the design. Thats where this falls. The tpu on the back of the case provides a ridge for your finger to snag when holding. This provides grip without being bulky.
The sides are low on the front making it easy to swipe, especially with a glass screen protector. The top and bottom of the front are raised and keep your screen off the surface when laid face down.
Overall, I would have probably went with the black/clear version with my black phone, and clear/frost with a white phone, so I may pick up another.
Zero issues with the fingerprint scanner after 5.1.1 update on verizon.
Best part is its only $14.95 for a case with premium feel and good protection. All without the bulk.

Great match on color of burgandy S22 ultra. Great feel in hand and no slip. Sturdy. Comes with warranty. I ordered about 6 different cases. This one protects the screen with raised edges more than others. Only one that felt close (felt great in hand) was the BWY. Not enough protection on sides of screen for me.
This case provides ample protection for an S22 Ultra from all angles. The corners are heavily reinforced, with great drop protection and there’s raised protection at the top and bottom of the screen. The rear camera lenses are recessed a good distance from the back of the case providing good protection there too. Overall, this case is a good choice for protecting an expensive, top of the line smartphone. The retractable stand on the back of the case can be used to have the phone stand vertically or horizontally for watching videos or making video calls.
