Galaxy S cover comparison (Updated Sep 18th)

Besides the missing flash for the camera, the fingerprint addicted plastic cover of the otherwise great Galaxy S has been the main target of critics.
To solve this issue there are a lot of extra covers available. Some replace the original accu cover, some span the whole phone.
I myself have been looking quite some time to find the right cover for me and ended up with some covers in my possession.
I hope to be of any help to others on the same journey I give you a short review and comparison of the covers I got here. Pics included.
To clarify what we are dealing with I'll start with the original cover.
Original Galaxy S cover
Few to add. Standard cover that comes with the phone.
Pro:
- free
Contra:
- attracts fingerprints as light the moth
- slippery
- cheap look
Mumbi silicon case
I bought this from amazon for around € 5. Main purpose was to protect the phone for my vacation abroad.
Pro:
- Great grip and handling. The former slippery tiny SGS becomes a real something in your hand.
- cheap
- good protection against dropping damage
- makes your phone a real outdoor device
Contra:
- adds about 2 mm to each sides
- gives the stylish SGS a real tweedy look.
- attracted dust and fabric fibres in the pocket
- display is hard to clean - you cant just rub it anywhere because the cover stands over the display about 1 mm.
Case Mate barely there silicon cover
This one was a present from my wife and is my favourite so far.
Pro:
- nothing slippery anymore. Great grip.
- adds barely some width to the phone
- looks very clean
- doesn't attract dust ore fibres
- very tight
Contra:
- quite expensive ( well not for me )
- sometimes a little hard to apply or get off the phone. I was at first affraid I might damage the hull of the SGS but its fine since a lot of on-off.
- will probably stain underneath cover, see: Update.
Long-term information:
After using the barely there cover for some weeks I noticed some damageto the underlying basic cover . So if you are using a softer basic cover underneath the barely-there-casemate-cover you will likely notice som stains after a while. Not a big issue, but for me I decided to reattache the original basic cover to avoid spoiling my nice rubbery basic cover.
Matte black accu cover from ebay
This cover attracted my attention via the SGS Matte/rubberized battery cover-Thread in this very forum. It's nearly perfect for me and I use it under any extra cover. Update: Well not anymore - see update for casemate-barely-there above.
Pro:
- Good grip (though not a good as the Case Mate Cover)
- cheap (about € 7 incl. shipping via ebay)
- adds no extra space to the phone
Contra:
- No extra protection
Nillkin Tough Shield
This case was provided by www.casesss.com and can be purchased there. It came with the two Rock Naked Shell covers. It is very similar to my favourite (the case mate barely there cover), but has some definite advantages.
For overall comparison I added a picture of the case mate, the Nillkin and the Rock cases.
Pro:
- its about half the price (in €) as the case mate cover from amazon.de
- this Nillkin case DOES NOT have this ugly stand offs that damage your underneath cover (See details at the case mate review above).
- Overall good quality, good grip and perfect fit.
- Screen protector shield included
Contra:
- None, so far.
Note:
I will add some long term use infos about the cover in the futere.
Rock "Naked Shell" Cover
This one was also supplied by www.casesss.com. It's tends to become my new favourite. It is labeled to be used with the Galaxy S Plus i9001 - but as both share the same form, it also fits for the Galaxy S i9000. It comes with a free screen shield and a little plastic stand. This also lacks the annoying little rubber stand-offs that go with the barely there case (see details there).
Pro:
- Its very silky and smooth. Great feel and look!
- No stand-offs that damage your basic cover
- Good price
- Shield included
- plastic stand included
Contra:
- None, so far
Note:
Long term use info will be given.
Rock "Naked Shell Pearly Red"
Another one from www.casesss.com. It has a nice pearly look I havent seen so far. Very classy! Feels equally silky as the black Rock Naked Shell cover. As all Rock Cases it also comes with free screen shield and plastic stand (see pics above).
Pro:
- Unique look
- Good price
- Perfect fit
- No stand-offs
- Shield included
- plastic stand included
Contra:
- None so far
Note
Long term infos will be added.

Hello mate, i like ,,Matte black accu cover from ebay'', this is the right one for me. Is it from ebay.de cuz i cant shop from ebay, so i will have to ask a friend who lives in Germany. In Romania we cant find only the rubber case for i9000.
Thanks for the info

Just check the thread I linked. As I say: Its from ebay, yes. Just check the Thread and see for youself where they ship to.

Great comparison, bought few covers but didn't really like them (most shops around here ain't carrying them so have to buy online).
Think i'll get case mate now, didn't wanna bother spending money on it, incase it turned out like rest of the covers

Glad to be of assistance. dont forget the Thanks Button

I love the Casemate Barely There case! I've been using it for 7 months now,I love it. Highly recommended!
The look and feel is really good, the material that they used is not sticky or a "lint magnet" compared to other cases.

Nice comparison there dude, i got a SGP Ultra Slider instead in the end due to the buttons thingie (case mate barely there last i check had a rubber piece protecting the buttons)Sad thing is cases for SGS are hard to get here too

Thanx. I'll try to add more and more Cases on the go. If anybody has a suggestion, shoot. I`ll be happy to add more Cases.

SGP Ultra Silke
Hi there,
I bought the SGP Ultra Silke Case about a month or two ago and I'd like to offer my opinion on the case.
The case is made out of silicone but it is apparent that there is some sort of matte/anti grip coating that feels like...paper. However, there's none of the roughness, so it feels like very smooth, high quality paper.
Case itself looks great, all the holes line of perfectly and there is no trouble in pressing the buttons. I love the minimalistic look that it conveys. On the front of the phone, the case lip is angled and feel like part of the phone.
Problem: Why oh why does the finish wear off? After a couple of days of use I could feel the outside edge where my hands came into contact often was worn out. Now patches all around the case have worn off and the resulting bare finish attracts dust.

You should upload some photos with the cases u r using

Yes, please. Anybody feel free to add further reviews and pics. I can even add them to the startpost.

Will gladly add one on my next purchase of another Ultra Slider. If the thing fades,it might be fake? (since tons of SGP fake stuff are going around atm)

Case mate
recently got the case mate... works great for me. the only downside is the price.

Case-mate for me to..had one for a few months now and its been outstanding...combined with a good quality screen protector of course.

I think what you saw was the silicone case. Because the "Barely There" only have holes for the buttons.
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S

If anyone could take pics of the cases I didnt cover ( ), that would be great. I will add them to the starting post. This way the readers won't have to scroll through the whole thread.

Some links would be very nice.

Best Samsung cover to use while making presentation?

I want to use my note 8 to make my powerpoint presentation with. What case would allow me to hold it steady in my hand while taking?

I frankly recommend the newly released accessory named the "desk." These devices are supportive of the drop and break club.

I have a number of cases ranging from cheap $5.00 gel rear cover to full protection zipper shell that are $30.00 to $50.00 in leather.
Only the gel rear cover offers full functionality without mods. Though wife preferred to have me cut out the integrated side button protectors on the cover. I liked the protection... so it is a matter of preference. They do have them with and without, depending on Chinese distributor.
I protected the front with $18.00 tempered glass from China, it is the same thing as the popular known (name not given). In fact the instructions clearly state the name of the product that you find here in the states for over $30.00. Go figure.
I really liked the feel and function of the cheap $9.00, Chinese thin snap on folder cover that offers the versatility of desktop stand and has a simple way to keep the folder in place while folded back, and has a built in hand strap for secure holding. It is the thinnest, yet has a draw back. Even though it has a good magnetic sleep switch, the design uses clip fingers to hold the tablet. One finger is made too long and does not allow a fully flat closure. You must modify the finger by trimming.
I did not like any of the cases that have the round hole in the back for swiveling 360 degrees. Some have a flap thing to hold the cover closed, but did not design it well enough to keep out of the way of the screen.
I did find one for women, that has the swivel capability but the magnetic way of securing the cover was too weak, so the cover would flap about. Else it would be almost as good as the cheap one that is flat. It costs $20.00.
As far as the best protector the full body zipper type works pretty good at protection... I chose a case logic as they are easily available and has a feature that zippy cases don't have. A built in desktop stand that folds away. Even though the instructions don't state proper use in hand, you can reverse zip the case fully open for flappy free in hand use with either hand. The only two draw draw backs are, that the case's hard shell disallows charging and it is the bulkiest of the bunch. You can remove the stretchy hold downs at the bottom corners, to allow the tablet to angle up for charging. You can use a gel protector with this case, for 2 in 1 use. As the gel cover allows better grip and is light weight for long term use in hand. For $30.00 it is the best made case available at that price range.
Well that is it in a nut shell... there is no perfect case made that I am aware of, so one must weigh importance of function over drawbacks.

I'd go with something like the MoKo folio case, as it's got a smart cover that folds backwards and reveals a hand strap. About as good as it gets if you have to 'hold it' while talking. I prefer to sit the tablet on a table using such a case.
If bandwidth permits you might also look at AllShare Cast / Miracast capabilities versus MHL, so you don't have to worry about dangling a MHL adapter out the bottom.

Help Picking A Highly Protective Case

I currently own the S5 G900F with the Official S-View Cover, due to the case becoming unpleasantly dirty (White to black) and the realization that the phone might not last me very long with this level of protection, Im in the search for a new case.
I need this case to be a bull coverage case, which means that it will have to have a inbuilt screen protector, for I can not apply one to save my life. It must also be as compact as possible, while offering great levels of protection, as I have small hands.
Cases I have been looking at are the Otterbox Defender Series (S5), and the i-Blason ArmourBox
OtterBox - My concerns about this case, is the 'Echo' that certain members of the community suffer, although someone has 'found a cure' for this, which is to find and peel away hidden stickers inside the case, I am not sure, as I have only heard of it once. This is a very popular case and seams to offer the most protection. It also adds quite some size to the phone, which may become annoying.
i-Blason - This is not a very popular case, but seams to be thinner and smaller than the OtterBox. It is cheaper, but price does not really matter as both cases are competitively price in the UK. It seams to offer good protection.
One of my biggest worries with both cases is the functionality of the FingerPrint Unlock, this is something I use and take pride of on my mobile, and would hate to have to use it, would these cases allow for the use?
Secondly, the inbuilt screen protectors, is there any 'give' as in, does it feel like you are not touching the screen?
Any opinions and suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Here's what I use and recommend: Galaxy S5 Case, S5 Case, New Trent Trentius [Heavy Duty] It feels good in the hand, has it's own screen protector and 3 colored backplates. I also use a tempered glass protector under it. They are not like film screen protectors, very easy to put on with no mistakes.

Thanks for the reply, that is very interesting, just a few questions...
Does it suffer from the 'echo' like other cases?
Is the screen protector 'tight to the glass'
Sound volume? Is it reduced?
Also I have tried tempered glass ones too, still cant apply straight

No echo that I've ever noticed. To be fair though, I'm on a custom rom that allows me to increase the stock volume level. The extra screen protector just gives it a nice tight feel. No problems at all with touchscreen.

I watched a review and have to ask, how are al,l the holes aligned up? And by this I mean the homebutton cutout, LED and camera cutout etc

Can't say, I never keep anything in the same pocket as my phone.

What would you say are the bad points on your current case?

Im still wanting to get a Defender, is this a bad decision?

The Trent case is an awesome case especially since you can switch it up with the different back pieces but if you want a waterproof case then Lifeproof all day.

I've opted for the Lifeproof case with the screen protector; no real problems on this end. The case also works well with the Qi wireless charging kit.

I use the UAG Cover. Works really good for me. Dropped it round about 5-6Times....no damage

I have the screen protective film on my S5 (from the dealer) but when it gets scratched up, I won't replace it. I recommend the Spigen tough Armor case. Great protection and what I like the best is that the buttons don't stick out beyond the cover. I have had problems accidentally pressing the buttons while the phone was in my pocket. I always carry the phone in my pocket and the Spigen eliminates that problem. The relatively slick back cover makes it easy to get out of my pocket. The four corners on the back side are slightly raised to protect the camera lens and prevent scratches on the cover if the phone is dropped.
AND, no, I have no relationship with Spigen. Just credit given where credit is due.
Edit - the slightly raised corners are on the back side.

Best case ever!! Hands down!!! :good:

before i bought my zerolemon 8500, i used an otterbox defender.

Looks like a good protective case but it is big and ugly. Sorry. I'll keep my Spigen Tough Armor case.

Nah, the rubber doesn't look durable. Watched a video featured the case installed on a Nexus 5. The Case was quick to attract lint and dust, just about from any angle.

Just watched that also and I have to agree 100%. That screen protector also looks totally useless.

Don't use the wireless charging. But these are my all time favorite cases that never get recognition. I used to throw my phone around like a grenade and shock and awe my friends. That's how tough this case is. It's reinforcements on the corners are what make it so superb. I vouge for this case all the way.

Lol the rubber is the. Out durable part. More so than my friends otter box I'll tell you that.

I felt the Outer Rubber part is attracted to dust and debris. The newer Otterbox Defender Series shows less of a problem on this basis.

I'll concede to the dust part. If I swipe it through a dusty piece of furniture or maybe at the beach it may pick something up. It can be wiped with fingers. FOR Everything else mentioned, this is on the money. Will work with any tempered glass.

Can you please post pictures of this case on your Note 4. I'm really eager to see some close-ups, rather than having to rely on computer generated renders on the company's website. :good::angel:
Thank you.

Looking at This Case Looks Nice, Only thing that would worry me which i know it will happen dust will go in thru the Home Button since it has some type of Plastic Screen on This Case , It looks like it has a bit halo where the home button is at and dust will get in!

Thanks @sdlopez83 , greatly appreciate it.

Screen protector - requirements and thoughts:
- Tempered Glass
- Proximity sensor cut out
- edge to edge
- rounded edges
- oleophobic
- ?? what about front camera cutout - needed or not (only a few have this)
- Brands: Spigen (have always loved Spigen, but they don't have the camera cutout and not great feedback out there, I have the following on my possible list: Yoozon, Nillkin H+ Pro, IntelliGlass, Omoton, Skinomi)
- Price - honestly, not an issue - as prices are all very comparable and I even wonder if other than cutouts and fit - if there is a difference in the glass itself?
Based on this - any specific thoughts?
Case:
- First, thinking NO case as I typically don't like cases at all
- looking for feedback on the thoughts of NO case for this phone - is size an issue (makes a case more or less of a necessity?)
- If I get a case:
- Must be clear (I have a great looking phone, why cover it up?)
- Opening for back lens must be COMPLETELY open (is that a valid concern), most cases have only a small opening there
- Thin, ultra thin, very very thin... did I say it must be VERY THIN
- Top of my list: Spigen Ultra Hybrid Air Cushion - BECAUSE IT IS CLEAR, I'd go with their Ultra-Thin in a heartbeat but it is only in black
- thats about it for cases
- I'm thinking that in lieu of a case - either a SKIN (Dbrand) or a rear glass (intellarmor)?
Cables, chargers
- I think the only way to go is 100% chargers and cables for the USB-C , no converters (thoughts?)
- I may get this: Techmate USB-C to Micro-USB adapter (only because I have SO MANY micro cables and usb chargers)
- If I were to get USB-C cables and chargers - any recommendations of those that WORK and are a good bang for the buck?
- I'm likely to delay this a bit - as I'm hopeful that battery goes the full day...
Software - Customizations:
- TWRP
- CATACLYSM ROM (must have!)
- ElementalX
- Systemless Root (supersu 2.6+)
- VIPER4Android (is this needed on 6P)
- Project_Skynet (will see if it is useful on 6P)
- Theme (will need to see what's around for 6P) - thoughts?
That's it - what am I missing... recommendations and thoughts much appreciated

Just ordered the Nillkin H+ Pro TGSP and the Nillkin Series Natural Transparent TPU Case for Nexus 6P...
These seem to meet the most of my criteria - will update once received.

I was going to suggest the Nillkin set to you but you are already there. You could probably still use a dbrand under or even on the Nillkin case should you wish. I also have the clear Spigen it is nice, not super thin (as the Nillkin) but not bulky either and defintiley fits in some drop protection, also has the complete camera visor cutout which I prefer too.

Screen Protector + Case:
- Currently using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and Spigen TGSP. They work very well together. Would recommend.
- TGSP Front camera cutout = dirt magnet.
Software:
- TWRP
- Chroma ROM
-fin

Sorry to hijack the thread but as someone who never owned a nexus before i must ask why do you say cataclysm rom is a must have? What's so special about it?

The additional features without any bloat

Do you find not having the complete camera visor cutout (with the Nillkin) is an issue?

Would definitely recommend an Orzly Tempered Glass Screen Protector (a little extra screen wear protection doesn't hurt, and as far as I've seen it becomes virtually once on your device)
Case wise I'd recommend the Orzly Fusion and also the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Both a relatively good for protection but also show off the full design of the phone. Good for those who don't like to hide their phones behind a case.
Cable wise would recommend taking a look at Bensons Amazon reviews. A lot of reviews he is doing now show cables that he says are certified and safe to use.

None of these things are a must have - depends on your definition!

Thanks for pointing that out... - I notice that the speaker cutout is also a dirt magnet - though a necessary one... I also don't use the front camera much - if at all - so turns out a cutout for the front camera - isn't needed and likely, a requirement NOT to have it cut out.
Thanks for the suggestions on the SPigen TGSP and the Hybrid case - they are very high on my list and should the Nillkin not work out - I'll likely go that route.
I asked Spigen if they would come out with a clear thin case - and they replied they were not planning on that.... In general I've found that Spigen tends to cater more to the iPhone market than the Nexus market - probably because iPhone users have already shown that cost is not an issue - and Spigen products do tend to be more pricey.

I have the Supcase with the black back {not the clear back}. Actually I have them both, but the clear back scratches easily and the black back looks much much better. This case also feels great and fully protects the phone. Usually when I get a new phone I buy several cases but this time I don't have to... This case is simply great in every respect. You can find it on ebay for about $20 delivered.
