HI, I've looked everywhere for a good waterproof case for this phone and haven't had any luck yet. The ones I have seen didn't have very good reviews at all so not willing to waste money to find out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Nothing?
I use this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/IP-6...2361455434.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.75.ZUpVmv
tested in sea water and it is waterproof
I ordered this:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Smar...2325055972.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.83.1XtvkE
because it is more beautiful and has buttons
will test it when I receive it.
Thanks for the tip. It's hard to find a good waterproof case for a note 4. I'll check it out. It has very good reviews. Thanks again!
The best waterproof case for the Note 4 are more or less heavy duty ziplock bags. I wouldn't trust the rest of the ones available on the market.
No new good cases? (That really works)

I'm looking for a hard case for the n1. I would like to find the thinnest case possible so that it doesn't add bulk. Ive seen a couple for the iphone that ive liked, but I haven't really seen much for the n1. Any suggestions?
Yeah open your eyes..
I guess I should mention.... I found a few, but they all suck. Some are argyle, some have flowers printed on them, and a lot of them, have a raised square in the back. I'm guessing for a belt clip. None of these are all that appealing to me.
Well, that wasn't helpfull.
The best I found is the Crystal Case: http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Google-Phone-Nexus-1-Vinyl-Crystal-Skin-Case/4582739/product.html?cid=123620&fp=F&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=12517446
that square thing annoys me as well.
I just ordered off of ebay:

I will see what it looks like.

Yes that would change things drastically.
I got the TPU arguile one and its nice does a very good job of protection..
Just ordered http://cgi.ebay.com/5-EPIK-Case-Fro...Accessories?hash=item45f0974fb8#ht_3736wt_820 as well figured for 20 me and my girl could have a bunch of different colors if you are looking for a hard plastic I would say wait it out another week or 2 and seidios should be ready http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csr3hnx1-bk.htm
They probably make the best hardcase I have ever seen.
I'm waiting on Seidio...these cases have always been quality thin protection for me!

just put this on this morning, super tight snug fit

I ran across a hard case that was slim and would also fit into the existing sleeve but lost the website. I know its probably a bit OCD but thought it would be nice to have the extra added. Been looking for it all over but can't seem to find it again! Anyone run across this?

I've had good luck with Seidio, so I'm stickin' with them.
Just ordered this (Innocase II and Holster combo pack)
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hnx1-bk.htm
Ships on the 1st. :-D
Purchased a hard case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/CLEAR-Phone-Cov...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item3a56b27079
Purchased a gel case:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SMOKE-BK-CHECK-...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414c2ff716
Both are a great & tight fit. Both are quality cases.
The clear hard case is perfect for those situations where you need hard protection. Most of the time, I'm using the gel case, as I like the feel with the N1.
Try contacting....

i have owned both their products before on my blackberries..
and they are legit and protect fine.
i have sent emails to both of them and they said if there is demand for them they will make them.

It's a catch 22 waiting for the demand. When the demand hit, they'll have to do all of the design/distribution legwork. By that time, there'll already be many other options.

I concur. I bought a black and a clear smoke off ebay and both fit nicely and the phone still fits in my existing case. Only issue would be if you get the new desktop dock for the phone, as these cases don't expose the contacts.
Like some of the other members I bought the "gel" case from ebay:
It's pretty thin and seems to be very durable and fits great on the N1. As stated in the above post, the case does block 2 of the 3 (the 2 on the left side of the USB port) contact points on the bottom of the device.
Does anybody have experience with this case?

I have a plan to go to Tunisia and the Cape Verde Islands with my wife this year. I really need this type of case for underwater filming, rough handling and so on Like I asked you does anybody have experience with this case? Original price is $96.00 but you can buy it on ebay as well for cheaper price. Thank you so much
If anybody doesn't have any experience with this case, please offer to me something similar to it. Thank you
The Love Mei Powerful does NOT claim to be waterproof case. Do NOT use it for underwater filming. Instead, use a case like the Lifeproof Fre or Nuud, OtterBox Preserver, or the Seido Obex.
i have this case. it is also sold as the pepk case.
DONT BUY IT.
it is not water proof. it is... splash resistant. the screen protector is loosly glued at 2 edges not all the way around, there is a glass piece over the camera lens but not the flash lens, there is a crappy mesh over the speakers and mics, not water resistant. A single drop of water passed right through. You need a screw driver to open/seal the case, a torx 3 or 5. you also need special shaped headphone/aux calbes to fit the headphone jack hole. it breaks proximity sensor fucntion while in a call (cant use phone, or enter numbers, screen wont turn on). it makes all voice recognition uselss.
Ill send you mine for free.

I'd be willing to take up that offer.
Additionally, I would highly recommend against buying any waterproof case for cheap on ebay. Waterproofing is no joke, if it fails, your phone is likely toast.

If it's cheaper than 10-20% on ebay.. you are 100% guaranteed that it is a cheap crap knockoff. I wouldn't spend $100 on a case for the phone. Certainly a decent Spigen or something to protect it.. but if I need waterproof for short periods of time, I use a box of 50 ziplock bags I got for $4.
i would be so bold to describe it as snow resistant.
I have the Seidio Obex case and i love it. Only downside is the proximity sensor reports as always blocked (screen won't come back on when pulled away from ear) but being a nerd i was able to write a program that wakes it when it detects the gyroscope is changed to the way you look at it.
Also, the capacitive buttons don't work quite right all the time. I just thought of an idea to fix that though. Buy super cheap stylus off the web then take off tip and glue it to the underside of the screen protector, then when i press on the screen protector it will push down the touch material to the device.
But from what i quickly read on the comments of that youtube video, that case is garbage. Also, with my Seidio, i spilled ice tea on it (and i hate things being dirty and sticky) so i litteraly put it under running soapy water to clean it and nothing is wrong with it. Wouldn't recommend that with the case in the youtube tho
So as I read all the comments you don't recommend Love MEI case. Thank you very much for all information.
Would you please recommend me another option of waterproof case? Please share some link, videos, experience and so on.
Thank you

I honestly dont understand why people buy these kinds of cases. What the hell are you doing with your phone that requires this much protection??

I have the lovemei case and love it compares to the otterbox the screen is so much clearer yeah there's no hole for the spen on the note3 version but I can live without that
I have been using this case for almost a week now and i must say at first it felt bulky, and Yes thats coming from someone with a Note 4. Also its hard to use the Hear Rate monitor but it does work, just needs a little playing around with. In all I got use to the size of the case and now don't even notice it. Its got an awesome design, the Protection i want and is in my budget. Cost only $17 USD which is not bad at all. The case also features a kickstand which I think I already broke... its still works though. You can watch my review on it below if you like.
UPDATE: Its been a week and the case has grown on me but now I seen something else that makes me feel like the Tough Armour is not the best there is.

Hi, I just got my Note 4 and am searching for "the best case" Untill now I was thinking about buying the tough armor..... then I saw your post! What does make you feel this wouldn't be the beste case there is. Is there anything bad about it that you have experienced? I haven't seen the case in real yet, since there is no store in Germany where we can buy it.... we can just order it online and the cheapest price is $27,50 (converted). So about $10 more than in the US. Which case would you recommend more than that?
Appreciate any info. Cheers!
its not too bad, but the flush buttons are SUPER annoying
I have this case. I'm still getting used to the buttons, but I love it in general. The only thing missing IMO would be a holster clip that fit this case with the glass facing inwards. I probably wouldn't even use it for the holster part so much as keeping this badboy sealed up tight when I'm not using it.
Spigen kickstands are a joke, cheap pieces of crap that fall off way too easily. Case might be fine but why include a POS flimsy kickstand?

I switched from this to the Otterbox Symmetry. The otter just seems more protective for some reason.
I just picked up this case. Like it. Sure seems like it will protect the phone for sure. The flush buttons are good for design, but can be tough to find sometimes if you're not looking too close. Fits nice though. I tried an S View case as well as an LED Flip Wallet and hated flipping the front over and behind to use the phone. Like this much better overall.
Hello all,
I recently switched to a note 4 from an iPhone 6. Android is just a better bet for me, however I purchased the iPhone 6 silicone case made by Apple. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MGQH2ZM/A/iphone-6-silicone-case-productred
I was hoping someone could point me in a direction of a similar case for the note 4. The thinness and texture of that case were ideal for me. Any suggestions or leads would be great. Thank you all in advance. And if I offended anyone by posting an apple product I apologize, it was only used a point of reference. Cheers and the note 4 is amazing!
There are not many cases available for the Note 4 right now, it's still a pretty new phone.
Have you seen the Samsung S-View covers? I know they're not what you're looking for, but they are high quality and add functionality to the phone!

Spiegen make a great range of cases for the Note 4, specifically the hybrid types, check ebay and Amazon
The tech21 is very slim, and you like. Fits the phone like a glove and has some reported drop protection in the corners.
It's expensive though $35, and only available at the tmobile stores right now
Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried the s-view cases on the note 3 and it just wasn't for me. A great case though. My wife actual uses one on her note 4.
I right now have a spigen case on. I think it's an ultra hybrid. It's decent but not something I'll keep long term. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I also haven't seen the tech21, I'll have to get out to the store and check it out. Thanks for the suggestions to all and if you run across any silicone cases please let me know. Cheers!
Never heard of Ghostek before. Just wondered if they are actually a Case maker or just repackaging someone elses cases. As alot of their cases look similar to many others on the market. Reviews of there cases seems a pretty mixed bag. Was looking at there new Note 4 waterproof case.
There cases are average at best, they offer decent protection but its very flimsy and button covers too sensitive when barely pressed on.

I've never heard of them either. They don't look like anything that I would declare to be WONDERFUL or Supreme, but looks alright. I'm probably not going to buy it.
Yeah alot of their reviews seem a pretty mixed bag. Why wont someone offer a decent looking water resist case I just dont get it.
I just got this case last week...its a decent case my only complaint is that I cannot use the fingerprint reader on the note 4. Overall its great protection....better than the otterbox case. I also like the fact that it locks in the stylus.
Avoid! I bought the one with integrated screen protector. The side buttons were WAY too sensitive and the screen protector was a joke, being way you tacky and leaving air gaps between screen and film. Better stick with more reputable case makers. I bought several Spigen covers which are all much better quality.
