ive had a cheap little sleeve, and it really did nothing for protection. I know your against otterboxs, but I will still recommend a otterbox commuter. It DOES add some thickness to your phone, but it offers amazing protection. a sleeve really only protects from scratches, not big drops.

I went to the mall to test out the cheap cases and I could hear my phone hit the glass counter top when I gently turned it over. I went directly to Best Buy Mobile and overpaid for a Belkin... which is what I also bought for my original Incredible. I love the fit, protection, and coverage of the buttons. I clean my phones daily, so I like that the buttons aren't exposed.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

The inciPio silicrylic case. It's a slim 2 piece case at a reasonable price. It looks so GOOD to me. ( I have a white galaxy s 3 with the white and gray version of this case ) it's stylish, slim, and provides great protection

I have been really impressed with this case...not too bulky, nice grip on the side, the corners have extra reinforcement.

I have the Incipio Dual black/black on my white phone. Looks super sexy and really doesnt add much bulk while still providing great protection.

You can look at SGP's line of cases,
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3.html
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Lumi Series (Same as Color Series but brighter colors)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultra Thin Air Series (Polycarbonate back)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Modello Series (TPU Case)

I've tried the Incipio case and currently use an Otterbox. The Incipio case was nice and the color complimented well, but felt too loose. The Otterbox fits tight, but is too tight for those who need to change battery frequently or whatever. I haven't completed decided which I like better.

Good protective case with a lip

Want a good protective case with a lip that covers the phone if I drop it face down, and also one that protects the camera as well, and doesn't add to much bulk. Recently bought this Spigen Case but it seems like it won't do crap if I dropped my phone!

That looks like a strong case. I use a spigen slim fit case with the same air cushioning technology and it protects my phone well.

If you like the Spigen brand, take a look at their Tough Armor case. I can't say enough good things about this case.

I'm slightly disappointed in the Spigen case I purchased. I picked up one of the Galaxy S5 Case Ultra Hybrid cases. My main requirement for a case was that it would cover the silver bezel on the S5 and the Spigen case appeared to according to the pictures. Sadly this is not the case. The silver bezel is small, but it's definitely still there which is really deceiving given the photos on there website.

You have the S5? And also, have you dropped it yet w/the case on?

I picked up the Speck Candyshell case in the store while I wait to see what else comes out. They have always been great protection.

same thing on my case I got the neo hybrid and the silver showing drives me crazy if they had made the lip on the front slightly wider , this would be a keeper , im just waiting and hoping ottterbox comes out with a case in this same blue color and I will order there commuter case

I have a Slim Armor for when I go out to run, walk or hike. I use a Ultra Fit for work and just normal use. I used a Slim Armor on my S4 and dropped it from a bar height table flat on the face and didn't leave a mark on it. Dropped it on the corners a few times as well and it still looks like new out of the case. I have been really impressed with the quality of build and protection of the Spigen over the last year. Not sure I would use anything else with the exception of OtterBox.

I just posted a review of the Poetic Atmosphere, which could fit your needs. I mention the lip protection, which you can see in the picture.

My struggle to find an acceptable case

I'm really struggling to find a case that I like for my S6. They're either too bulky, or too slippery, or accumulate to many fingerprints. I've tried a few clear cases to help retain how cool the phone looks, but the fingerprints are killing me. Can you guys share your recommendations? 
Here are the ones I've tried.

Try the Diztronic case. It has a matt texture, so its not slippery, and its slim, yet provides protection to the screen (raised lip) and camera.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...8&qid=1430497562&sr=1-1&keywords=diztronic+s6

Could you point out what you didn't like about each one?
I'm using a clear case right now (Spigen Ultra Hybrid), and you're right about fingerprints. I also have an issue with the crud that accumulates between the phone and the case, which is then totally visible. It's also a tad on the slick side.
I'm considering the Spigen that is just a ring around the edge with no actual back.

Sorry, I'm not really any help, but I feel your pain. I have the Verus Iron Bumper (no front or back protection) and while I love it, the glass is a smudgy mess. I'm not really concerned as I use it, but I carry a microfiber cloth just in case anyone wants to look at the phone. And then 3 seconds later it's a smudgy mess again. The struggle of owning a beautiful phone.

I'm gonna give this one a try now, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VSOIBAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I had a body glove case on my LG G2 and really liked it, so we shall see.

Is that case good enough for $15?

I have the incipo feather however that one is very slippery and i just ordered the original samsung case which is silver and a clear case.

I had a silicone TPU on my old Samsung Blackjack, and only used it for a week. They tend to get every bit of dust and pocket lint sticking to them.

Seems like you are just being too picky. It's a case.

I've tried the spigen liquid crystal case, but i took it bak because the sides flexed too m uch and the back got too slippery, plus it was just ugly, then i tried the verus crystal mixx white case, I loved that one but it didnt have a lip to protect te camera bezel.
Now i've settled on the Verus crystal light case. It's like the spigen liquid crystal but has two cutouts on the back for the camera and flash instead of one big one. Plus the buttons are more clicky. i found one on ebay for $6 and i love it. fingerprints accumulate on the back but it seems to have more grip than the spigen version so i'm keeping it.

Just got the original silver clear case from samsung and it is really minimal even more minimal then the incipio feather case. I do like the feel of the case since it gives you a lot of grip and there is no additional bulk on the sides of the phone so when you are holding it, you are holding the phone.

I received this today and really like it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00VSOIBAS

What case are you all using if using one??

I typically swear by them, but this deduce feels so good in my hand, I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to buy a case..
That as a screen protector. The glass is just silky..
On the other hand, a skin I am seriously considering..
Any and all discussions and inputs most welcome..
*also if your using a screen protector, which one and what type of material?
from note 7

https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-frame-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note7
have an otterbox defender on order so i got the t21 while i wait, i like it so far, slim and protective.

I have the tech21 one and will use it if I need better protection. I don't care for its ergonomics especially when it comes time to remove the S-Pen! It's too hard. The buttons require a lot of force to actuate too. And I question the deep wells around the microphone holes how they may affect sound quality when recording video...
I just got this today:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHVLU90/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's super thin and shiny and all. For $5.99 it's a no brainer if you are a member of the "barely there" crowd.
I don't know what Diztronic has against edge phones as there was no case for the S7E and probably the Note 7 as well. They are my favorite case for thinness. But for now this six dollar shiny plastic will do.
EDIT: Now I see Diztronic does have a Note 7 case! Looks to be backordered a week or two but I will be getting it.

My wife has the Caseology Parallax series in the Mint color she loves it, a decently grippy case with the back being kinda soft with dimples. I've got the Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case, not as grippy as hers but still feels good. Pretty slim case though (doesn't add much bulk at all) and it fits like a glove. Got both off Amazon, for $14.99 and $15.99 I believe. Now I've just got to find us some screen protectors that won't peel on the edges. We got the Skinomi Techskin Full Coverage (case friendly) version 1 protectors and mine peeled like crazy and my wife's is on pretty good. Haven't heard much about the version 2 that just released, I'm hoping they fixed the issue. Anybody tried the version 2 Skinomi Techskin case friendly version with a case by chance?

It specifically says "version 2" in the description when ordering on Amazon. My description does not include "version 2", as well as clearing it up with Skinomi, when asking for a warranty replacement due to this thing peeling. But ordering it directly from Skinomi or elsewhere, I'm not sure, I don't know if on the box it says revised version 2 or anything like that, as I haven't received it yet. Do you have the Skinomi Techskin too?

Haven't tried yet, applied a Skinomi before getting the case but the edges did not stay now I am waiting on a few tempered screen protectors to come in.

Spigen saved my Note 4 now it protects my Note 7
Spigen Tough Armor case (gunmetal to offset/match the Titanium model). it doesn't add much to the overall size of the phone and has a kickstand and really does protect the phone. Only $17 on Amazon.

It is clear with a black bumper and reinforcements in the corners. The ring in the back center does triple duty as a holder you slip your finger through, a prop for watching videos, and ferromagnetic attachment for magnetic mounts.

Wait ? What ? the samsung clear case was too thick so you settled with a Defender ?
Okay how is the defender doing ? I always thought they were overpriced for what you actually get. The Spigen Neo Hybrid was my next choice.
