rubberized?
I'm interested in a bumper as well but I'd prefer a rubber one, similar to the one iPhone 4 got after the Antennagate scandal.
RE: Aluminium Bumper
I just received mine after ordering it last week and it fits pretty well. Looks a few nano-meters off at some places and build quality i'd put at 8.5/10 but for a bumper under $15 i'd say go for it.
Also i got the silver brushed aluminium one and based on the design quality, id say the blue one would get scuffed pretty easily.
Hope this helped...if it did you know where the thanks button is :cyclops:

I ordered and received three different ones from Amazon:
rooCASE
Photive Hybrid
Poetic
All three of these are EXACTLY the same. No difference at all. So, if you want one of these, order the cheapest one.
I also ordered a couple others, which have not yet been received:
Case Square
KaysCase
I hope that these other two will be softer. The top ones are harder plastic.
UPDATE - These two are a little softer, but both have a cutout on one of the corners for a strap, which makes damage more likely if you drop it. I've stuck with the first models above, and been happy. One thing I especially like is that these bumpers aren't slick, so they very slightly stick in your pocket, making it so that they won't fall out unless you pull them out - nice.
With my S2 I used to have the Neo Hybrid EX bumper, and that was the perfect bumper - silicone inside, harder plastic outside. Spigen didn't make this for the S3, so we probably won't see it for the S4 either, unfortunately.
i ordered the grey Aluminum one last night. ill be lucky to get it in like 3 weeks. haha
This would look similar to those you see here G.lider aluminum bumper

Hard to find in the United states. Only found some on amazon. I wish I could find them locally. I heard t mobile stores carry them but I haven't stopped to look yet. I also want to buy one

I have heard that T-Mobile sells em for 35. Amazon has em as well.
Does this have a lip for screen down protection?? I have a slim armor and it barely has a lip on it.

Yes it has a lip

I have the tech21 D3O flip cover case. The inner lining is soft and good for the case in case of drops and the leather flap has a soft surface to protect the screen. There's plastic tabs all around the side of the case to protect the phone except on the buttons. Cut-outs are where they need to be and the back case is raised to keep the camera from scratching and muffling the speaker.
Just be careful with the case you get. I got my case from t-mobile. I got my first one and I noticed that the top left corner did not sit right on the phone. In due time it began to crack and give way. After turning the case in and replacing it for a second one, it now fits perfect and there are no cracks.

I've had the impact mesh case for over a month now. I ordered from Amazon and I got it within 15 days. It's a very nice case, even though I dislike the color (found out they have a dark blue color instead of this smokey one).

Pics would be great if anyone has them.

Is the case really pliable or is it sort of rigid?

Well it's pliable when holding it, but rigid once on the phone. Think of it as a gel case: it's thick, yet thin (mind blowing, trust me); and it has great grip (almost like rubber).

I'd personally get the dark blue case. I'm not a big fan of the brown mesh with orange lol. The dark blue seems to make the case completely black with blue/purple accents. I'll probably be ordering it one day soon lol.
Btw, like Tech21 says, the case rises above the screen by a millimeter. Sometimes it feels like if it isn't risen at all lol.

Is there proof anywhere that the D3O technology actually makes a difference in protection?

A case is a case. Any case at all will provide some amount of protection but there's no perfect solution. It does feel amazing on the phone when holding holding it. And it looks good. I like it a lot so far.

I just picked up this case today. I have a white s4 so I got the clear maze pattern with the orange bumper. Absolutely looks sick, I'll post pics tomorrow. The case adds hardly any thickness. However the 3do bumper is a bit thicker. However from what I've seen and read its well worth an extra mom or so.
There is a small lip to protect the face when placed on a table. Fits very tight and pretty confident it won't fall off in the case of a drop. I like the way the case feels in hand. The tpu gives it a great grip. The poetic atmosphere and slim armor i have are quite slippery when you hold the phone and place it down.
I'll upload pics asap.

So ive found this case on Amazon. It's amazing quality and for the price is well worth it. Comes with a holster and the case had a kick stand. It has a real nice smooth finish to it and seems very durable.

Oh the price was 13 $ plus 5 for shipping

I have this case too. Paid around $10 when I bought it with free shipping. Love the case and kickstand. I wish it rerouted the sound like the Eclipse case does, but this case is far cheaper and works well.

Great find. I bought it with the belt holster. Fits like a glove & what a great price.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4
That's the first case I had for a few weeks. It was a great case. The only thing I did not like about it was it only slide in and out one way on the belt holster.
I liked it alot until I got my Otterbox Defender.

As said, it's great but bulky. No more worries about dropping your N4!
I am getting my Note 5 on Tuesday and am looking for suggestions on cases. Right now I have a Spigen neo hybrid on my s6 but I don't like how scratched the back has become. However I don't want to hide the beauty of this phone.
Suggestions?
I'm using a Cruzerlite until my UAG comes in.

I got the incipio dual pro shine, but for you I think a clear tpu is best, all others will scratch. Sgp has that might be called liquid crystal if I remember correctly.

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.
Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.
I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.

Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case

Thanks for the heads up.
I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!
I swear by Incipio cases. Using a Incipio Dual Pro Hardshell cases with impact absorbing core. Red color. I've used them for my HTC m7 & M8. Returned both phones in pristine condition.
