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?

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.

Are they just in there loose and jostling about? Not that I necessarily think that will do anything bad, just curious.

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?

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
i ordered this one here loved the way it looked and it has a cover for your s-pen and lots of colors http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MP3OZME/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Is this a bumper style with no back protection??? I see you have either a back protector or its part of the case??? Awesome case
I ordered two aluminum bumpers for my S6 both did not fit the phone correctly. One was too small and I couldnt latch it together, the other one was too BIG and the phone would move around in the case. I got a refund and I've ordered similar ones from another seller asking them to double check the fit before they send it. I will let you guys know how it goes. As far as I can tell the bumpers have minimal interference with wifi and data signal, but I haven't used them since they dont fit but only checked signals when i had them on for a few moments.
what are the top options for case + screen p rotectors? i just dont want scratches on my case or screen and to prevent damage from falling. without making it too big/heavy, though.
and whats a good option for the car mount?
thanks!
On my S6 I am currently using an Otterbox Commuter series + Araree Tempered Glass protector. Both works well with no halos. If the Otterbox branded tempered glass is available in my country I would have chosen this instead of Araree.
Otterbox Commuter
Otterbox Commuter is my favorite.
How about Spigen?
Spigen is a good brand.
Spigen and Caseology make the best looking cases. Spigen has a very slim profile. Caseology, slightly thicker profile and very robust. Both quality premium products.
Using caseology. It's good for the price. Bought mine for 16 bucks and looks really good. Only downside would be how hard it is to take the case off. It's a very tight fit.

The commuter shell is Citron Green and only available at Verizon "Smart Stores" where they sell mix & match Otterbox cases.
Even Otterbox does not offer the Citron Green shell on their site.
They come in packages like this:
Do you carry a s6 or edge?
Spigen and otterbox would be a nice choice, yet if you're also fancy genuine leather case, then icarer case would be another solution,:

Hey guys I ordered this ESR tempered glass case for the S10+ as I got it for $7 with a coupon code from tom's guide: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MJG2F21/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My issue though is, do you guys think this will be sufficient?
It doesn't seem like it would provide that great of protection, I want a case that's decently rugged but doesn't look it. Maybe this case? https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugge...&qid=1551115672&sr=8-5&keywords=s10+plus+case
What cases are you guys getting??
Otterbox defender plus. I have been an avid Otterbox supporter since I got my first one, which I believe was for my Galaxy S6. I have owned multiple variants, but since I have been known to be a little rough with phones I need their top of the line model to feel safe.
Just ordered the UAG blacked out Monarch, Pathfinder and Otterbox Symmetry cases.
I have bought two for my S10+ at very decent price.

Otterbox Symmetry eh? You must be fairly careful and gentle with your phone.
I have this case on my PIxel 3 that I'm trading in and love it. It's super slim and has a grainy texture similar to the black sandstone from the One Plus phones.

I'm gonna start off with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case for everyday use. Ideally, I want a case that's gonna stop me from accidentally palming the Edge screen as that annoyed the hell out of me on the S7 Edge I had for a couple of months. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'm open to them!

I'm looking forward when root and custom rom is ready and get the phone.
also, screen glass protector must be ready as well.
I don't understand why sams cannot offer their own glass protector.
without it I do not want use my phone.
Ive had the spigen neo hybrid for 2 devices in a row with no issues, though it looks redesigned from the version I currently have. Either going with that or Spigen Slim Armor which looks more along the lines of my current neo hybrid.
