I ordered the Slim Armor one since it has the kick stand and is slimmer than the tough armor version.
Spigen Slim Armor
Awesome. I like that amazon has these for preorder. I don't think Spigen has even posted these on their website yet.
I've come to really like Spigen products, but Supcase is making waves lately too.
they are up now. kind of hard to decide though. I bought the thicker one for my note 3 and dont know if i want to go with the hybrid this time or....
Has anyone tried the hybrid? protect the device just as well? Ive dropped my note 3 in parking lots, smacked it against gym equipment, stepped on it at the gym lol, dropped on tile lol. still holding up with minimal ware and tear. Only visible issues are the hairline cracks everyone else is seeing.
I ordered this one too...I still have it for my note 3 and they are great. Protect the phone very well.

Not only does Amazon have them, they are half the price which is crazy.

the hairline cracks go down the chrome plastic surrounding of the phone. Where the note 4 has metal, that was cracked. Nothing crazy but it was noticeable. I actually purchased the metal neo hybrid and the glass protector. First time trying one of these.

I had the Neo Hybrid for the Note 3 and hated it. While I loved the design, It had ZERO grip. It was always sliding out of my hand. I hope the new ones have a more tacky back now.
That Versus case looks nice and looks like the back might have a bit more grip.

holy hi res
i ordered one of the Verus. I'm hoping that the outside piece truly is Aluminum metal and not plastic made to resemble metal as in the Spegin Neo. DOnt get me wrong , I love the Spigen but I often found myself breaking the bumper ring when I was changing batteries. I always get extra batteries of whatever phone i have. Whether it was the GS3 (my dad), GS4 (my sister), GS5 (my gf), Note 3 (me).........now when I get the Note 4.
Wondering when Note 4 accessories, such as extra battery or spare battery kit (extra battery and spare battery charger) since the new battery is 3220 MaH.
I RECIEVED My Qi backplate from Samsung today. Works great, but BIG problem. My cases no longer fit. I bout the G3 backplate, and it did not change my phone one bit. This one in noticeably bigger. I have a Case Mate Tough naked coming tomorrow, and hopefully that one fits. This sucks... If I keep the back on, I can't use a case?
Haven't found a case that really fits, nor has anyone in the existing threads on Qi charging for this phone. My Versus case will go on, but fit would be an exaggeration.
Talk about a bummer.... Son of a gun..... Do any of the Samsung cases fit I wonder
Where is the qi thread your referring too
For the Note 3 they eventually brought out a Protective Cover Plus that fit.
http://goo.gl/e6wpa0 is one of the threads.

The samsung cases do not fit with the qi back plate on the note 4. Though I am sure something will come along shortly.
Do any of the Otterboxes Fit?
Otter box commuter does not fit. Right now I'm just using the rubber and it barely fits.
flip case
Hello ,
Since the Note 3 I was using the flip case from noerve.
Now for the Note 4 I ordered the Model 21168T1/f.
This one also works with the Samsung QI-Backplate.
It fits perfectly.
mfg , hjf
Fits in my poetic case, but slightly bulges. Like maybe a the thickness of a credit card between the edges. Still sealed as far as I can tell. And the built in screen protector is lifted slightly from the screen. Doesn't reduce screen responsiveness but adds a touch sound to the screen which I actually like.
This happened to my S5 a few months back, you might want to go best buy and try out a tech21 case. It fit for me
This backplate is proprietary then.

Does in completely envelop the phone or does the phone stick out a bit like this.
I bought a Case Mate naked tough for my kid, and REALLY liked it on the Turbo, so I ordered it for my Note4. I'm hoping it will fit. I'll know Monday
fits perfectly
Definitely this backplate doesn't work with the case from Samsung, but works fine with my other aftermarket cases.

does anyone make ultra thin cases anymore?
If I get a case I would just want it to keep the phone scratch free and provide a lip for setting it face down.
examples: Spigen Ultra Fit, Rock Quicksand Composite Poly-carbonate Shell Case
I suppose I should add that I saw the slim cases post with the spigen and the ringke. The spigen page isn't loading for me and their 'slim' case has proven to be rather chunky on some phones, not like their ultra fit which doesn't seem to exist anymore. The ringke looks like it might work though, it's 1.2mm and has a lip on front. I'm looking for more options, nothing against ringke or spigen, but choices would be nice. Obviously there aren't a ton of cases for the pixel so the question is more general. Are there specific makes/models of cases that are super thin for phones recently that I can keep an eye out for?
Wait for a Calicase.

that is super thin for sure! thanks. I think I'd prefer a poly-carbonate hard shell but I may have to give this one a go considering how thin it is.
Yeah I started http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/accessories/list-hard-shell-polycarbonate-t3475260 in quest to find a hard and thin case.
Didn't know the Calicase. I will add to the waiting list.
This one looks interesting, a thin hard case, I just ordered one:

Bearmotion is making one...I had bearmotion for my M8, worked great, and had a very similar (though not as rough) feel to the Rock Quicksand on the GS3...I do wish Rock Quicksand would come out with one though.
I've had my eye on an iBeek case. It has a smoked rim and clear backing to show off the Pixel or Pixel XL's two tone design. Just not sure why shipping is so far out.

EDIT: received mine today and it's garbage. My short review and pics are posted to Amazon reviews.
With last years 6P the Tudia case was one of my favorites TPU cases. Very thin and had a nice feel. I am going to give it a try again this year with the XL:

my issue with the bear motion case is the almost non existent front lip. I place my phone face down all the time. that being said with as cheap as it is I'll likely order one anyway just to test it.
Thanks to everyone for suggestions
So far I have received the RedShield, but still no phone to put it on and take pictures.
Anyways, its not "thin" it looks just like the OZRLY TPU, quite "standard" imho.

I purchased the maxboost and love it. Super slim and discreet. The grip is ideal for me because I want to effortlessly remove and place the phone in my pocket. I've had grippier cases that made removing the phone from my pocket difficult while seated.
where to buy Maxboost in Europe?
I just received this case today from an Amazon order. This case is a replica of the supcase Beetle from the Nexus 6p. It is an awesome case that has a mostly clear back with thick bumpers on the top and bottom portion of the phone. It is thin along the left and right edges of the phone. My search for a case has ended.

it is a little more slippery but the edges have some grip. I love this case. I have tried speck presidio grip, the clear version, otterbox commuter and orzly fusion. Trident wins by a mile.

I using UB pro for all my note 4,5,7,8, and now 9, best case for me
Nope.
I swear by Supcase cases. I prefer the slimmer Unicorn Style UB, but I ordered the UB Neo for a coworker. It's a solid case, but too much protection for me.
Also, look at iBlason cases. Same company, and I like the looks of the iBlason Magma over the ones you listed. Personal preference, of course.
Is their screen protector removable? If removed is there enough room to use the case with a whitestone protector?
Used them for my s8 plus, note 8 and s9 plus. LOVE them.
It's the case I have on my note 9
getting great reviews...but no one mention or shows spen in use with this case.....anyone got experience they can relate
I recently got that Supcase for my Note 9 and it seems pretty solid. It's at least as sturdy as the Otterbox Defender, and the kickstand actually works. The screen protector works fine with the S-Pen, but has a bit more friction than the normal screen. I don't think the screen protector is removable without cutting it out.
Hope that helps @edwardob
best cases ever!!! i had a propane torch fall on my phone and sat there for a good min bearly did anything.

two were mentioned…???
I purchased one of the UB Style cases when the Note was released, and while I'm a huge fan of Supcase, this particular UB Style needs work. It's damn near impossible to pull the stylus out unless you have longer nails, so I ditched it and went with the Caseology Parallax. If they just made the stylus' hole larger, it would be a great case.
This is the one I'm talking about:

True, I have exact same case and the inbuilt screen protector is horrible
I've had both UB Pro and Style. Very good cases for the price. I'm currently using the white/grey UB Pro for my note9. I also remove the built in screen protector and it works with my whitestone dome.
Super Duty
Like kenpaci stated in the 2nd post, I have been using the UB Pro on my Note 4, 5, 7, Galaxy S7 Active, Note 8 and now my Note 9. They are extremely tough and have protected all of my phones with multiple drops over the years. I too, have always removed the built-in screen protector until the Note 9. I decided to give it a try this time and so far, it seems to be working out O.K. for me. I've only had the phone since the 1st of November however so we'll see!
