does anyone have experience with these 2 cases? i'm looking for a medium duty case that will keep the phone as slim as possible. main concern is drop protection. both seem to be about the same size. i like the built in screen protector of the cyclops. but curious about the build quality. uag has a good following and seems to be built well.
Purchased 2 uag cases. Very snug fitting. Through up against wall a couple times (flinging sheets) and no damage has occurred. The camera cutout on both of mine are a little off. But the case feels great in the hand and is very slim.

i suggest the Speck Candyshell for those needs. I have a Candyshell and a UAG that I go back and forth between.
The cyclops looks huge/bulky like an Otterbox case.
I need a very slim case. One that doesn't add much bulk, I already have tempered glass installed on it. Not too worried about protection. Slimmer/thinner than the spigen, Diztronic. Thank you in advance..

I just ordered a few cases so I will let you know when they come in. I am/was looking for the same.

I ordered 2 of those 0.3mm Chineese cases at 1 dollar. If you do not want those look at Incipio/Spigen/Ringke Slim or Case Mate barely there

Here is what I use. I don't think you can get any slimmer than this.
[]Rinkge Slim Case S5
I also got the Rinkge slim case linked above. So far, so good. It adds very little bulk. I almost bought the Diztronic slim TPU case similar to what I used for 2 years on my S3, but decided against it because of how it looked. The Diztronic protected my old phone from many a fall and withstood the wear and tear of daily use. Heck, I'm selling my S3 with the Diztronic as an added feature. Before making my final decision I was torn between the Rinkge and the Spigen Slim Utra Fit case. I never tested the Spigen, but a friend had the Rinkge case and I liked what I saw. Nothing to say about protection and durability yet as I only have the case for two weeks. Would like to hear from folks that bought the Spigen Slim Ultra Fit case to compare notes.
I just got in a slim armor and a neo hybrid.
Both are great cases, neither overly bulky.
I honestly prefer the slim armor. The neo is just a thin plastic frame, outside edge coverage only, around a thin tpu skin direct to the phone.
The slim armor is marginally more bulky, yet it seems much more durable and protective.
The bonus of both cases is they are a super perfect fit and EASY to get in and out of the pocket of even tightish jeans. The buttons and charging port are easy access (better on the slim armor) and the case wont try to come off when you take it out of your pocket.
These things are a laser tight fit. I was going to go trident for my case as I did with my epic 4g touch....... but I don't think I need to yet.

I have the Ringke, it's ok but it has 0 sex appeal(our phone needs it, because ew). I can't deal with the Spigen, I can't believe they put 'Auto Focus' below the lense. It bothers me greatly. It's not a lauded feature so I don't need some cheese wording below my camera.
This case on Amazon has fair reviews, about to order it myself.

Anybody have the ringke slim dot view case that can speak on if it retains the blue dye from Blue jeans? Thinking about getting the white one but worried about it turning another color.
If anyone has pics that would be great.
I bought the Spigen Ultra Fit Black and I using tempered glass the phone looks great. I am happy with it. See the photos :thumbup:

Seems that it's pretty common for people to buy multiple cases, so I was wondering which ones you've purchased and which one is your favorite?
I have 3 cases.....
Spigen Neo-Hybrid .....(Good looking, good edge protection, heart rate sensor very difficult to use)
UAG Aero .....(Great protection all around, uncomfortable to hold and bulky in pocket)
Diztronic TPU black .....(Bland, moderate protection, slim and feels good in the hands)
I have to say, I prefer the Diztronic. It's the lowest profile of the three, and is the most comfortable to hold. Of course it doesn't offer the good looks of the Spigen, or the ruggedness of the UAG, but it's the one I'm rolling with for now. I have a Samsung protective cover coming Monday, so I'll have to see how that one goes before declaring Diztronic the winner.

Cases I have or have tried:
Spigen Neo hybrid
Spigen Air cushioned bumper
Spigen Tough armor
Spigen Slim armor
Verus Iron shield
Verus Crystalmixx
Body glove satin tpu
Otterbox commuter
Caseology bumper frame
Slim armor for me. Most comfortable to hold, looks good, has kickstand and offers good protection. Not for everyone, but it for the bill for me. Between that and a Caseology carbon fiber bumper case.

I have 4 cases. Ringke fusion in clear, spigen capsule, terrapin tpu and just got the caseology tpu drop protection. I like the caseology most, just wish the buttons are covered then it would have been perfect for me. Don't really like bulky cases. Oh yeah I bought the spigen new Capella and end up returning it. That thing is too bulky and buttons are hard to press not to mention it scratch my phone, it was hard to get my phone in and out. Regret putting my phone in it.
I have two cases - the black Diztronic and a blue Samsung Protective Cover. I use the Samsung because: it looks better; it feels better in my hand; and the Diztronic tended to get oily fingerprints on it. I really like the Samsung case and will stick with it.

How is the caseology tpu as far as finish? Is it gloss or matte? Stiffer like the spigens or soft like a jelly cover? Thanks in advance.

I currently have:
Ringke Fusion
Spigen Capsule
Spigen Neo Hybrid
Spigen Slim Armour
I-Blason Unity Series case
Overall I think I like the Spigen Capsule the most. The grey color is nice and it's slim but offers decent protection. The Spigen Slim Armour is one if the thicker cases but feels great in the hand due to the sides being rounded off.I suspect my favorite case will be the Verus Iron Shield that just I ordered [emoji2]

It's glossy and has shimmer but not very obvious and yeah it's more stiff than the spigen capsule. Spigen capsule feels like rubber tpu while caseology feels like a little bit of hardness for a tpu. Both are great quality just depends of the persons preference I guess.
I have the red samsung protective case and I have to admit that it is excellent, the fit is perfect and in hand it feels perfect

I have the Spigen Tough Armor and love it.
I first brought spigen ultra hybrid mint. Switch to clear version after the mint part turn black. Then i brought blue jelly tpu and sold off clear ultra hybrid. Brought 0.3mm clear using it for long time. Sold off blue jelly.
Brought mercury skyblue jelly case. Use it one day dump into chute. Too sticky and slippery. Made note 4 sticky too. After abit of wiping back to 0.3 mm clear tpu.
So using 0.3mm clear tpu now.

I have 4 cases:
BodyGlove Satin: Decent case, good feel in the hands a bit bulkier than I like. It does have an excellent grip. Sometimes volume and power keys are hard to get to and the opening for the USB cable is too small. Some of my cords were "large" and bulged out the case.
Caseology Bumper frame, metallic mesh silver: Very bulky, looks great, just too big for my taste.
Diztronic TPU case: Great fit, feels good in the hands, although seems a bit too thin for me.
Samsung-Blue: Now this is my favorite. I get the slimness of the diztronic but feels a bit more rugged.
Hopefully this will end my case buying frenzy for a while
Ringke Slim - It used to be my daily driver. Really nice rubbery texture and is very slim.
Caseology TPU - Plastic, toy like feel. It bends really well and its slightly bulkier than the Ringke Slim.
J&D Slim - Slim as the Ringke but doesn't protect the top or bottom. It's slightly more slippy (not a strong grip) than the Ringke Slim.
Spigen Neo Hybrid - Offers great protection and nice metal buttons. Way too bulky for me to hold.
Bear Motion Ultra Slim - My daily driver. The most slim, minimal protection case that doesn't cover the top or bottom. The texture feels very similar to the OnePlus One Sandstone Black. Very smooth and soft texture. The case doesn't have that 'slippery' texture. I'm considering buying additional colors.
Spigen slim armor
Speck candyshell grip
Fake leather pouch for going case-less
All are good. I love going G case-less, but I'm usually too nervous and rough to always do that. Candyshell grip is an awesome daily driver. Probably the best all around. Slim armor looks great, but scratched metal edges and it's much bulkier.

I just ordered the grey one from Amazon since it was only $15 based on all the reviews you guys have made about the case.

I have exactly the same cases and I use the Diztronic.
Spigen Neo Hybrid
Spigen Tough Armor
Spigen Slim Armor
UAG Scout
Verus Thor
Definitely like the Verus the best. Planning on ordering the Ballistic Urbanite and Seidio Capsa or Dilex Pro soon.
Otterbox Defender
Ringke Slim
I have the Otterbox on just now.
