Just picked up a Galaxy S4 and am now looking at screen protectors and cases. What I had on my S2 was a SGP Ultra Crystal and Case-Mate Tough Case, which worked beautifully. So I will try doing the same with the S4, however, the US version seems to only have the black color for sale. There seems to be a White color as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJFh3YIQYQg
Anyone buy a Tough Case yet? What are your thoughts (on either colors)? Does it protect the screen (are the edges raised)? The design looks a little bit different than the S2 one in which I thought was the perfect case.

I really like it overall, here is a review I did using a dummy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l3X7Oxgx5I
I bought the Tough Case........edges are raised, works fine for me.
Did you guys buy the Black or White version?
Black version......
Hi Everyone,
I previously purchased the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear back case for my Nexus 5 and folks had templates available for making your own custom insert. I really liked the clear back Ultra Hybrid case and the fact that it was easy to change the graphic insert as often as I wanted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/accessories/guide-spigen-ultra-hybrid-custom-t2527376
So when I got the Galaxy S5, I got the same clear back Ultra Hybrid case from Spigen. But I haven't been able to find a template for making graphic inserts for the Galaxy S5 case. Does anyone have a template they'd be willing to share? Thanks.
i would like to know this as well. as im on the hunt to find a "perfect" case for my s5
Hello,
so i just bought me a brand new awesome phone a week ago, which is the galaxy s4 black edition :victory:
my former phone was an S3 mini which i used with the original samsung protective cover and i thought they fit perfectly together.
so i ordered the same for my s4 black edition, the samsung blue navy protective cover and it arrived today.
to my surprise i doesn`t fit so well i mean the lip of the case doesn`t even cover completely the silver edge of the phone
is this edition slightly thicker? have any of you guys had this same problem? any other similar case you could recommend?
i`ll just answer my own question: the protective cover+ does NOT fit the black edition
also tested the cover+ with an old black mist battery cover and they match alright
keep this in mind if you bought an s4 black edition too
I bought lately black edition back for my i9505, and what was my biggest surprise my phone doesn't fit anymore to my Sleeve/ Pouch. ( to be exact PURO Essential View )
And it's not even matter of size, but back structure on black edition is imitating leather and in a contrast to genuine leather it's a little bit sticky.
So when I want to put it into my pouch fraction is to big, so I cannot easily put it in and out.
So if you will be wandering about this solution I cannot recommend it either.

Hell, that case barely goes with my Black Mist version. The front is still too black for the navy blue back and deep purple/blue border. But, it's the sleekest case that offers this much protection. If you want a case that matches your blacker 'Black Edition' phone, I would get the black version of the Spigen Slim Armor. Not quite as grippy or thin as the Cover+ but it's blacker for sure.
As for fitment, the Cover+ fits excellently, but sometimes, the top part shows a sliver of silver. I'll just push it back on the phone and it's good again.
I`m interested to buy Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my I9506 black edition but i`m not sure if it fits as the case was designed for original S4.
Are there anyone using this combination?
Thanks!

You can use the Spigen Neo Hybrid case with your black edition i9506, I am using it right now on my phone.

Great! I heard about usb port cutout is a bit narrow, can you confirm it?
I`m gonna use mostly kingston micro stick duo flash drive and just want to be sure in compatibility.
Thanks!

Most propably you will have problem to use this stick and you will have to take out the phone from the case.

I bought the black edition and i want to buy exactly this case puro essential view, with pull up ability. It is useless?? or it just goes in and out more difficult than the black mist?
Sorry for so late repply. In my case I've resigned from back edition back, cause I was afraid to no to damage pure case and back at the same time.
I have S4 mini Black edition
I have S4 mini Black edition , It's very nice but low battery
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Case, J&D Ultra Slim Fit [Jelly Cushion]
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OO4SSIO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice protection...one of the mic holes was wrong..seems like it provides a good compromise between no case and otterbox-ish

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O9J39KG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I actually like this better than the J&D. It's super thin...almost not there...not much BASH protection...but provides a nice grip and a very nice feel.

Brown Wooden Pattern Plastic Replacement Back Cover
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OOVR4L4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Really cool... I love the way it looks. ads just a bit of grippiness to the back of the phone...BUT, the TPU cases don't fit quite right so it's a no go for me.
I loathe the TPU/rubber/silicon cases. I don't like the feel, and they seem to add too much thickness/width to the larger devices.
I also want a clear back. I'm interested in the LED flip case, but the LED look does turn me off some - so any feedback on those cases is welcome.
For the s7 edge I'm upgrading from, I went with just the hard plastic clear samsung case with the rounded silver corners - is there one similar for the Note 9?
