Review: Spigen s5 slim case ultra fit

You can find this at http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s5-case-ultra-fit-shell.html although I bought mine off Amazon.
This case is slim fit and snaps on. It looks great, fits snugly, and gives good access to all ports. The color matches up with the gold s5 extremely well. As opposed to the cases that have a separate back and rim, this adds almost nothing at all to the bulk of the phone. it feels like it will take drops and bumps well without cracking. As with all slim-fit snap-on shells I would not expect this to protect the screen. I do expect that it will do a very good job of protecting the body from scratches and bumps. It is not padded so it won't ease the shock of a drop. The Spigen page doesn't claim anything more than a good grip and that it will "help prevent the case from accidental drops". It's made of plycarbonate with urethane coating.
This case came with a Steinheil ultra crystal screen protector. The protector is cut perfectly for the screen and I was able to reposition it as necessary. It is indeed crystal clear. I haven't had it on long enough to test for scratch endurance.
Overall I love this case. It's my new favorite.

Thanks for the review!!! Is the case slippery? Yes they say it has a good grip but how is it actually in real life use?

That link for the case at the spigen website doesnt work just so you know. But youcan just google spigen s5 case and it will show up. Awesome review bro!

I have one of their Neo cases, the "bronze" finish soon started to wear off exposing the white plastic underneath.
just something to be aware of,

What S6 cases is everyone using?

I'm using a vintage stylish back cover along a SGP tempered glass(9H) for the screen protection,it's good so far,for I'm not get used to the flip cover or wallet cover,it's not convenient as the brief cover as coming calls&messages,which makes it wired and also no good for video watching and daily usage. Besides, the case also with double wallet slot on the back for credit cards etc.,and two slots is enough. The slim design also enjoy another 10 scores, fine match the S6's thickness without make your device a clumsy one.

Anyway,just share your S6 case based on your own experience,for both some help to purchase a fine case and have fun!

Is it genuine leather case? Doest it protect the camer (i.e. have a lip near camera or just thicker than the camera)? Is it soft enough inside or is it plastic inside?
I think I could go for it if there were no card holders)
Edit: found it cheaper on ebay. I think I'll order one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Rea...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item20fa6c88e2
Thanks

Spiegen neo-hybrid here. Minimal bulk, great grip and feel with metal buttons. I myself feel that screen protectors are unnecessary anymore, as todays gorrila glass does well enough to protect from scratches. A screen protector isn't going to stop a drop-shatter anyways. The neo is the best looking and thinnest of the 5 cases I have, all while providing two-piece drop protection.

I have the same case now. It's ok but it makes my s6 to be the size of my Oneplus One want something less bulkier. As for the screen protectors, I might disagree - tempered glasses save your phone glass from shattering almost always.

I'm using the simple tpu Verus Crystal Light case. It's like the spigen liquid crystal clear case but looks better, has better clicky buttons and the camera and flash have separate cutouts instead of one big cutout. Also has lips to protect both the camera bezel and screen from scratches

I respect your view on tempered glass, I have heard a lot of good things about it. Unfortunately for me, it didnt work so well the one time I needed it to. As far as cases go, the hybrid is about as thin as a current generation (protective) case could be. If you want any thinner, why would you use a case at all?

That's an excellent question, sir!
Firstly, I beleive it will still save the back glass from shattering if I drop my phone (and I know I will drop it some day, always happens to me when after the honey moon I become more and more careless with the new toy).
Secondly, I afraid to much for the camera lens, which just waaaay too protruding to be safe, imo and also very weak according too AndroidAuthority review. (rly samsung? for 700 bucks your could not go for saphire glass on the protruding camera lens?)

My concerns with the camera lens are the same as yours, but we can't change the design of the S6. I don't think sapphire lense would help too much either. More costly, interferes with clarity, and still breaks.

I'm using the UAG case. Love this thing. Very very slim and provides the best protection for my phone out of all the cases I've owned. UAG cases might be on the top end of costs ($30-35) but it is built to last

I used a Spigen neo hybrid, but I ended up with a UAG as well
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TRG8KGO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This leather sleeve which fits perfectly. Pretty tight actually, so no risk of your phone falling out I guess. Great quality leather and finishing I must say, they're all handmade. Price is a bit steep but you do get what you pay for and honestly, if you spend this amount of money on a phone you might as well spend some money on protecting it.
I thought about buying on of those Spigen cases which look slick, but then I thought; Samsung finally made a phone with a finish worth looking at and holding in your hand when using it, why hide that in a case?

I just bought this case and do like it, but all of my Mediabridge microUSB cables don't fit in the opening on the bottom. Do you happen to know of any good high rated cables that fit well? Was debating getting a different case because of it that's possibly less bulky too.

I don't own the s6 any longer nor the cases, I bought an edge and I went with the UAG for it as well.
I cant use another case any more, UAG does it for me

I just ordered the led one. I like the UAG, damda or the protective cover for when I need more protection

I've actually been rocking my Verus Iron Shield without the metal frame for about a week... I really like it that way. It's quite a bit less bulky and kind of seems like the Samsung Protective Cover, but it's quite a bit more protective and I think that the TPU that Verus used feels better. I actually printed up some "carbon fiber patterned" strips on adhesive vinyl decal paper to wrap around the bezel (of the case). I think it looks and feels super nice that way

More like top 25 dude can't count lmao

i get a lot of compliments from people when they see my copper gold caseology case.. especially since i work at bestbuy and you already know what their choices look like lol

Sounds snazzy. Any chance of some pics?

Spigen does not have any place on this list. Their cases have a horrible design around the heart rate monitor that makes it practically useless. Replace Spigen with UAG and you have a pretty good list.

1 000 000 000 times AGREE!
The only cases I would look at are the Verus cases...

Which case(s) is best is completely subjective as it's based on how much protection you want vs. how much bulk you're comfortable with & which features you want.
For me I must have maximum protection, a kickstand, covered rocker switches, USB & headphone dust covers & a belt clip holster. The Otterbox Defender has all those features & IMO is a very well designed & high quality piece. You just need to remove the plastic screen protector & use something else.
After using the Defender for several months my phone edges/corners are not scratched as reported on this forum by several other users.

Question What Cases Did You Get?

The name says it all. What did you get? I got the below so far, although I think I'm going to return the Spigen hybrid for the clear one.
Spigen Thin Fit
Amazon.com
Spigen Hybrid

Nallot Case

You want good corner hit protection or it will get damaged. The clear ones don't cut it. These are heavy phones that wuv to corner hit
Been using the Zizo Bolt case on my N10+ for 2 years, zero damage. Has been dropped on concrete from 2-4 feet more times then I liked to admit. Thin, easy to hold and clean, doesn't attract dirt, and doesn't fall apart when dropped.
The screen protector on this one might be a throw away; I use Gorilla IQ Sheild which works very well. The inner case kick stand is fragile but doesn't effect the protection.

Pitaka. I like em thin

Currently have Spigen Slim armor however Spigen Tough armor arrives tomorrow. The Tough armor is what I've used on my last 3 note devices and haven't had issues with it's protection yet.

Am rotating between Spigen Thin fit and Mous case.

Going between Spigen Liquid Crystal and Liquid Air Armor. Both have the individual camera cuts. I prefer the look of the Armor, but Liquid Crystal feels like I can drop it from 4 inches as opposed to 2 inches.

I ordered the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle pro. I wanted one with a stand AND camera closure slide window so that when I'm not using my camera my fingers won't touch the lenses and smudge them, but I couldn't find one without the metal ring type stand which blocks it from being able to wireless charge. I know this because I did already pre-buy a case that had both the stand and camera window slide closure thing, but it will not pick up a wireless charge. I feel like the Beetle Pro will accept wireless charging because the stand doesn't look like it protrudes very far.

Official Samsung leather case. I can't go back from them. Got one on my S20, 21, Zfold 3 and now this. Nothing beats the comfort, durability and even the smell of leather.

Good call on th cryo armor! I just looked and it's available on Amazon now, for half of what their website says lol. Just ordered.

Found this S22 Ultra cases review. Might help to decide.

OtterBox Defender Pro with Belt clip. You can drop it on concrete or asphalt and it won't even scratch the case much less the phone. I been using the Defenders since the s7 Edge and never traded a phone in to Samsung that didn't look brand new and sratchless. The only downside is it will make your phone heavier but I can live with that. I've dropped mine on a concrete tile floor at work 3 times over the years and never even for scratched. If you keep your phone in your pocket in an office environment you can get away with slinmer cases. But if you work in a brutal environment it pays to have that extra protection.

I purchased the Samsung Black Leather Cover Case.
Precise , minimal, good quality and snug.
I would like the UAG MONARCH KEVLAR SERIES but it does not yet appear to be available in the UK and I'm hesitant to import it via the States.

Spigen Liquid Air Case , I like the look and cuts for every camera lens

I really liked Pitaka from the review.
Also considering dbrand case or Spigen Thin

Got CaseBorne S series and R series, BUT my phone is being delayed for shipping Will test but on naked view, the cases look AWESOME and with proper corner protection.

Question What do people think of the Samsung official cases

I have the clear with stand, leather and the PVC case. All three aren't great in my view.
The clear with stand has scratched far too easily, the leather scores too easily and the PVC is a lint magnet, which makes it unpleasant to use. Anyone else have different experiences?
I got the elago hybrid, and Spigen liquid air too. Both considerably less expensive. Zero issues.

I have the OEM leather case. Looks nice, but, I used it for about 5 minutes, it makes an already large phone a real handful.
I'm using an ultra thin carbon fiber case:
Super Slim Case for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 6.8", Real Aramid Fiber Protective Cover Skin/Wireless Charging Friendly https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PRV3Q3...t_i_7M7WCKXKNVSTHFRN2DJQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
While it doesn't provide as much drop protection as most cases, it provides good protection from everyday wear & tear/scratching.

Overpriced and quality-wise not so good I would say.

i just go on aliexpress and buy multiple cases at <$5. all the ones on amazon are just marked up cases that ali express sells anyway

I've fallen in love with the strap case.

I use the original leather case after i tried the original sillicon case. The sillicon was to sticky hard to get it in the pocket and out
I love the original leather case because it has single holes for every camera it looks much cleaner that way also the feel of the leather. I dont worry about scratchmarks they tend to go away after a few days because its leather you have to use it for a while to get it resistant with your hand oils and fats till it looks good you can also balm it with leather balm
I understand people who dont like the nature of leather but you have to know it will change its appearance with time and you have to care for it
When i know it will be a dirty day, gardening working on the car doing craftswork i just slip on the sillikon case
I have the leather case now 3 weeks and it looks greater then as it was new

Been using their silicone case since the Note 9. Have the one with strap for my Ultra and can't go to any other case. Quality is superb and the grip is very nice.

I bought the Samsung Rugged case when I got my Note9. I used it until I traded-in the Note9 for the S22 Ultra. I never had any problems with it and my Note9 looks brand new. Unfortunately, the new cases from Samsung are poor quality by comparison, so I went with a different brand.

I bought both Smart View Flip and Samsung's silicone cases for my S22 Ultra, like them both! Very good. I currently use the smart view flip case and thought I would get annoyed opening and closing the front cover but ultimately, I ended up liking it more than the open covers.
I just wish they used the nice silicon material like on their silicon case version which feels much nicer than the material used on the smart flip view case.
