I was looking at buying the official Samsung "Galaxy Note9 Rugged Protective Cover" case but I was wondering if anyone currently has one and can attest to if it's actually a nice case or not. From the videos I have watch on the S9/S9+ versions of it, it seems to be a solid case. Kinda stinks that it doesn't come in some form of blue but I can settle for black.

If you ask me go for spigen tough armor...much cheaper and better (have kickstand too). I always though that mentioned spigen is big and ugly but once when you try it you will buy it for every new phone thrust me Best grip in the hand and higher security.

I had that Spigen case on my LG V20 and I loved it. The only gripe I had was the kickstand was kind of crappy. The Samsung one seems to have a much higher quality kickstand with a spring in it.
Well don't know which problems you had with kickstand, but I'm using it often and no problems at all now on s9+ or earlier phones. Waiting for comparison if you buy samsung legit case

I'll most definitely post a comparison if I buy the Samsung one
I have the rugged cover and the tough armor. I have been rocking tough armors on most of my phone's lately. I like the Samsung rugged cover better though. Much comfier to hold, feels closer to he sexiness of the note 9, much better kickstand and I ended up liking the textured much better than I thought. My 9noy gripe with it though is the bixby button. All the buttons have great tactile feel but the bixby button is begging to be accidentally pressed. Also, the price is outrageous.
I like the tough armor but it feels too boxy for a sexy phone, the buttons are fine but not as easily accessible vs the rugged cover and the rugged cover feels better to hold for longer uses. The good thing about the tough armor is the price and the bixby button is less likely to be pressed on accident.
If the $40 bothers you, I would get the tough armor for now and wait unitl the rugged cover is ~$20 on Amazon. My shortcomings may not be the same as yours with the tough armor. I have a tough armor for my V20 and last 2 iPhones and is my go to case for my V20. I am waiting to see what Ringke/Rearth comes out with. They make great cases also.
Oh and both cases work well with Spigen's neo flex sp. I don't know how either is with tempered glass. I think the neo flex is going to be my sp for his phone unless it scratches horribly down the road.

Yeah the kickstand placement and spring I saw in a video really sold me on the rugged cover. I love that you can use it in both orientations too.
Good call on the Amazon thing, I wasn't aware that the OEM cases eventually make their way there. I did see what I assume to be Chinese knockoffs of the rugged cover start to pop up on eBay, I'm not sure how else sellers could offer them for 10 bucks + free shipping if they are OEM.

I have seen Samsung's rugged cover listed already but not available. That was a week ago. They were still $40. Give it a month or two to come down. Buy one of the Spigen or Rearth cases for $15-$25 to hold you over. I don't think the rugged cover is spring loaded. It pooped of the other day and I snapped back in. I think it is tension loaded with plastic somehow which makes me wonder if it will weaker sooner than later. Should still work fine if it does. I hope Spigen heeds my email and can make a case as comfortable as Sammy's but use the buttons like on volume and power but recessed or flat for bixby. Best of both worlds. I might buy one or two more cases. I like to have 2 or 3 for each phone and have one for work and something that looks new when I go out because my cases for work show a lot of wear after a while.
BTW, I can vouch for the Samsung rugged cover. 1st day it slid off a 4 feet counter and landed flat on the face. I almost had to change boxers. Luckily I had slapped the neo flex on dry for a little protection. If it was tempered I am sure it would've cracked. It will be awhile before I drop it again. ???

The problem with the Spigen Tough Armor is, the idiots, (like Samsung last year on their rugged case) put the kickstand on the phone so when you use it, the volume buttons cannot be accessed. At least Samsung learned this year and put it in the middle of the case. What an obvious oversight. Nothing like having to pick the phone up and flip it over to lower or raise the volume.
Using the Samsung tough cover for 5 days. Great protection, design and functionality. You cannot go wrong with it.

Spigen cases are nice but I think the Samsung rugged is just that tiny bit better made. I have the Slim Armor, Neo Hybrid and the Samsung. The official one is definitely my favorite. Don't think you can go wrong with a Spigen though if you want to save a couple of bucks.

After spending shed loads on various note 8 cases. I pulled the trigger and ordered the official Samsung note 9 rugged case today. Hopefully it will be my only go to case plus a folio type . For me the most important part of a case a is comfort , no good if a case is slippery or has harsh edges.

Almost fell for that. They had a 13$ official Samsung rugged case there, yeah right!

OEM Samsung cases show up on Amazon after awhile. Use the numbers like this from Sammy's website... EF-RN960CBEGUS (black rugged cover)
Check the seller's reputation and the price. When the pop up on Amazon the price will usually be about 50-65% of retail until demand falls or the next big thing comes along.

Yes that's on I bought. The price is ok, I figured I'd spent like over $100 in various cheap and not so cheap cases for my note 8 so spending a little more and probably preventing me from buying more will be good.

I purchased this case originally on Amazon and have it in hand, but my phone is delayed another month. So I grabbed this one for $5 cheaper and the seller offers free returns so theres no reason not to give it a try. I will compare the case from eBay with the case from Amazon and I'll be able to tell if its fake or not. If not, I'll send Amazon back theirs and save $5.
Actually I'll save $7.40, forgot about tax.
I ended up getting one of the official OEM Rugged cases from Best Buy earlier today and I would definitely say that this is the one. I went through a couple of the clear spigen cases and a legion caseology case before this one.
The price of admission is definitely worth it imo. Case feels solid and the kickstand is the best I've had so far. I would say if you're on the fence like I was, go for it.

I'm with Rev_Nev. I got mine today, and normal months long search for a case has ended. When I gave my Note 8 to my wife I had 9 cases for it. I have 2 now and the Spigen is going in the drawer. This is an exceptional case, without making the phone look bulky. I was worried about the grooves on the back as I don't like textures but they are more subtle than the photos and the case is outstanding.
another nod for samsung
i bought the samsung military grade case and i like it. i have the military grade case on the note 8 so i expect this one to be just as stylish and reliable.
i recommend the samsung military grade case. its not gaudy or over the top looking like some 3rd party cases--its clean, understated, and i like that.

Hey guys,
I've been using the Seidio Active case for my Nexus S since I've gotten this phone. I have a Nexus 4 in order and would like to know if there are existing cases for the Nexus 4 that's similar to this design? I've found it to be the best based on what I put my device through and it has served my Nexus S really well.
Seidio currently does not have a case available for the Nexus 4 as it's "under development". Are there any alternatives?
This is what I have now for the Nexus S:

Unfortunately , none that I know of. Only one which comes close is the ionic guardian. It got v.bad reviews bcoz they forgot/neglected to put slot for the speakers in the first revision. Now they have supposedly fixed the issue and re-released it. Not sure about the reviews for those though. [ the new rev, I mean; but at least the cost is v.low ]

Which is also under development. And if you want to expand, there are others like trident etc. which are also doing the case.
Every case that offers actual protection is under development right now. If I had to guess, the first of them would have their initial batch out in early January 2013

Damn, this case looks pretty good too, I like the design and it's priced about the same as the Seidio, if it doesn't cost an arm and a leg to ship to Toronto, Canada where I am, I might pick this up.

Guess having a "7 - 8 weeks" delivery date isn't looking too bad now seeing there are no protective cases out there until January at least. For what I do (computer and networking repairs, I crawl through a lot of tight spaces), if I don't properly protect my phone, it'll break (esp. since the Nexus 4 is made of glass doesn't really help lol).
If there are other cases out there that's worth a look, please send them my way.

So now that Ballistic and Seidio are about to release their cases which one would you guys recommend, they're both the same price. Though I'm familiar with Seidio's cases as I have one, any thoughts on the Ballistic case?

My Small review on the Ebay Case
i just got mine on Friday and let me say that the case is awesome! not much corner protection like the Iconic Armor case but the fact that it covers the USB and Headphone jack almost completely is just what i needed so sweat wont try to get in when i'm at the gym! it also has a built in kickstand which is very sturdy since it has support arms for added rigidity and it also clicks in place!! making remember of my OG evo4g days! the red is actually not maroon color like in the photo is most like a... regular red (not too bright, not too dark) the holster has this furry suede like material on the inside to protect your screen if you don't have a screen protector. the only problem i had was that if the holster is clipped to your belt and you get in and out of your car, there is a chance that the holster will separate from the clip... but if you take off the phone and press the holster body against the clip, it will click back together!
overall i give this case a 9/10!! i would of giving it a ten if it offered more protection on the corners but for 12 bucks, i can hardly complain!!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-RED-R...787869?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5aecac8cdd
How thick is the phone with the case on? The ridges on the back seem to add 3-5 mm

Per request:
This first one was with the largest headphone jack I had... the Audio-Technica M50s headphones. The case its self smells like it was made from recycled tires. I'm going to let it sit out for a few days in hopes that it goes away. In the meantime, I'm very happy with a TPU case that I got for about $2.30 on eBay that I can use for the time being.

At least it's environmentally friendly if it's made out of recycled tires ? That's good to see that even thick headphone jacks work with the case, how's the rubber part of the case, does it feel poorly made or is it rather good? Lastly, does it allow enough clearance for a snug connection for the USB cable?
The red looks pretty good. I'm now undecided on colour lol.

This really depends on what you're expecting. The way the case is designed is that you put on the silicon sleeve (thing that smells like burned tires) and then the plastic part wraps around it securing it into place. If you compare the silicon to TPU, you'd think it was garbage. But really, it's just there to soften the blow as the plastic takes impact.
The stock charger fits fine into the phone just fine. USB has standards that define how large the head can be, so I assume anything out there will work. All of the inserts and buttons are covered, so there is a little flap over the bottom of the case to protect the port which can get annoying. Nothing a box cutter can't fix if it annoys you too much though. Volume control and power button are both easy to press over the silicon.
I was considering taking my TPU case and slicing it up a bit to make it fit in to replace the silicon sleeve. This would look pretty awesome in it, but I'll need to slice it up a bit so the plastic outer shell can wrap around it. Worst case scenario is that it's only a little over $3 to replace if things go wrong. As is, the silicon is a little difficult to slide out of the hostler (could be considered a good thing I suppose). TPU should be a little easier with it.
All in all, my TPU case was $3.04. The hybrid case was $9.95. Both combined are about the price of what I paid for my Androidifed case by CruzerLite, and I like both more than the Cruzer one. The Androidifed cases were very disappointing for the N4 IMO.

As long as the silicone is similar to the Seidio case I have, I honestly won't have gripes about it. TPUs are not soft enough to provide good impact absorption I need.
Alright, I'm pretty much sold on the case, still need to decide black or blue lol.

Got my delivery from Case-Ology today (took 5 Days to Germany).
It's like my OtterBox Commuter Case for the S2 + holster & kickstand. I'm impressed!

I have been using Sena cases for a couple of years now and was looking for a nice case for my new Nexus 4. I spoke with Sena on Monday to find out when the Nexus 4 case would be available to buy, and was told sometime in January. I already have a Galaxy Nexus Sena Ultra Slim Leather Case, but it would not fit well. So, if there is anyone like myself who can not wait, I compared the dimensions of the Nexus 4 to the phones that Sena has cases already available for, and decided to purchased the HTC One X case and it fits wonderfully. It is a little longer than the Nexus 4, but that will give it better protection when dropping it. My Galaxy Nexus case I bought from Sena didn't even fit as well as this does. If you don't like it, Sena gives you a 2 week full return and refund. Both pictures have the Nexus 4 inside the case.

Yes, and even easier than the Galaxy Nexus was with the case made for it after 6 month of usage.
After I broke my Galaxy Nexus, my Sena Slim case is lying around. I was hoping it might fit the Nexus 4, but it doesn't as you mention. Can you post some pictures so I could see how bad the fit is?
Thanks.
Do you use the phone in the leather case in your pockets? I love the look of that one and I hate the idea of covering up the beautiful N4 design with a TPU case. But i'm still trying to figure out how I use the leather case in day-to-day use.

I only use the case for carrying. When in my home and office, I place my phone on a Clingo universal dock.
I guess I'm asking if the leather case is slim enough to get in and out of jeans pockets.

Yes, very easily. They are very thin, but very durable.
It's not a case, just a pouch.
Personally I don't get why people get riled up about pouches. This one seems rather elegant so it seems like something I would use.
But the Mofi pouch... it's just an overpriced bag... You can get the materials for less than a dollar and it would only take an hour to cut and sew the punch yourself. The same can't be said for bumpers or TPU cases, or this leather pouch.
So what do you pouch users do with the pouch when you're using the phone? Slip it in your pocket? Hold it behind the phone? That's one of the reasons I bought a case, the Poetic Slimbook. It's leather and protects all parts of the phone, and in use the flap just has to be folded back behind the phone.

One hour of my time is worth more than $3.24. And that's if I could even do a proper job sewing.

When in travel, I will put the case in one of my jacket pockets or in one of my back pockets. This is so I can hold and feel the phone, not the case.
BTW, how does the Poetic Slimbook case hold the phone? In the pictures on Amazon, I can't tell how it is attached to the case? Are there straps?

Do you have a
Mofi pouch? I didn't really delve too much into that thread, but the OP had it quoted at $12. Way more than you'd pay for even a nice leather case. But at less than $5, thats not bad. Although I wouldn't consider it a value for the Mofi. The leather pouch in this thread seems quite nice and would be a steal at $5.

I think it's held in place by a hard plastic case. Search YouTube for "Poetic Slimbook iPhone 5" and you'll get a better idea of how it looks and functions. I posted the video review I found in one of the Poetic threads. Should be in my post history.

I'm a long term user of Sena cases, and I love them.
The first one I got was for my beloved iPhone 2G, may it RIP. The Sena slim pouch is a really well made quality product that I can warmly recommend to anyone.
I'm struggling with only a screen protector right now, so let's hope It'll be released for the nexus soon.

Just received this same case (HTC One X) for my Nexus 4 and the case is very tight causing the power button to push on as I slide the phone into the case. I almost feel it is unusable unless it stretches some....
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
It'll stretch out. I also bought the HTC One X ultra slim and after about a day my power and volume buttons were not being depressed as often. By the second or third day, it fit perfectly snug without depressing the power button.
I found the best way to remove the phone from the pouch is to hold the front and back of the phone about halfway down and push the bottom the the phone up. Push until enough of the top is exposed where you can grip the top sides and pull out of the pouch.

Just ordered this case. It was between this and the Waterfield Suede Jacket (cheaper, not made of real leather if you care about that). Thanks to the OP for the photos and the tip. For anyone else interested there's a 20% coupon code for Sena that worked for me: PCWIPNK11. Just found it by searching online.
I'm having second thoughts about this case. Got it in the mail today. It is very tight. I had a hard time getting the phone out, after the first time I used it. I mean, a really hard time.
I know there's a break in period. However, because the leather is not very soft or pliable the pieces of leather that are folded in, at the edges of the case on the inside, where the case is sown together, rub pretty hard against the sides of the phone as you slide it in and out. (They held down my power key effectively enough to turn the phone off.)
I'm concerned over time these rough tabs of leather will scuff up the rubbery material on the sides of the Nexus 4. Even putting the phone in the case once and pulling it out, seemed to make some very minor (hard to see) scuffs. I don't want the break in period itself to damage the edges of the phone. And even after that, given the rough feel of these tabs of leather, I wonder if they'll scratch the edges of the phone.
I'm not expecting the phone to stay perfect forever, but I don't think a case acquired to protect the case should potentially be scuffing it up instead. I can see how it wouldn't be a problem with a phone that had sides made of smoother plastic or metal material. But I'm not sure the rubbery material on the Nexus 4 is going to hold up to abrasion very well.
I see now why many of the other higher quality leather cases fold the sewn together edges outward, away from the inner pocket for the phone.
I got my Spigen Tough Armor for the s5 on Tuesday, and it's by far my favorite case I've owned for any of my devices. Definitely prefer this to Lifeproof and Otterbox overall. You can find it on Amazon here.
It's slim, the buttons click easily, and the heart rate monitor and fingerprint reader work like a charm. Only issue is until you get used to it it is a bit difficult to get the charging cover open, but after a day or two of doing it it's pretty easy.
Says it's compatible with Spigen's glass screen protectors as well, I'll be getting one soon.
Thanks for the quick review and pictures!
Do you feel this case adds a lot of bulk to the phone?
According to the product page, the case adds approximately half a centimeter to every dimension. In the hand, it doesn't feel like your phone is any thicker due to the beveled edges.
I just received my Gunmetal Tough Armor case today & there's a good chance I'm going to like it more than the Otterbox I had on my previous phone.
I hate the fact that you can see the plastic bezel on most of the new cases for the S5. That's what I'm trying to cover up with the case!
How secure do you feel holding it? I was very surprised that the case felt very slippery with the hard plastic shell. Debating returning it or trying to spray plastidip to give it some grip.
Also ordered this case can't wait for it to arrive

how are you using the fingerprint sensor? which finger and position?
I wonder if it'll work with the wireless charging back cover....
For the ones who have the case, does the bottom plastic part (right below the home button) move around when using the fingerprint features? I have the spigen tpu case and the bottom part below the home button is too flexible.
I have a tough armour and yes it is. It's TPU and a bit thin so does "flex" when you use the finger print reader.

Just got this case today. LOVE the case. I feels comfortable. and im sure if i dropped it, it'd protect it just fine. Only problem, if you have slight bigger fingers, the heart monitor can be a bit difficult to use. But i'd still recommend this case to anyone. A must have
I got the Slim Tough in electric blue, love it. I thought the Tough looked slippery on the back, so I got the Slim Tough. I do like the Slim Tough look more though.
It was tough trying the Spigen case as I have used the Case-Mate tough case for my last three phones and loved it, but no regrets now.
Also works well with the Spigen Glas.tr screen protector.

SO i thought the heart monitor was hard to reach, turns out i was doing it wrong. As long as you just place your finder the spot, it works just fine. So this case is a 5 out of 5
I was looking at this case and the Luvvitt Ultra Armor. Bought the ultra armor. Very happy with it for $13. Either looks like an awesome choice.
anyone have a comparison of the tough armor vs. slim armor?? I like both and not sure which one to get.

I have both of them and much prefer the tough armor.
Forgive me, but my slim armor is at home, so i can't offer pictures until later. I disliked the way the slim armor gripped the front of the phone around the edges of the screen. The left and right sides encroached on the face of the phone about a mm more than the top/bottom. This meant that the bit of metal around the edge only showed at the top/bottom. It drove me batty. I like the feel of the tough armor more as well.

I bought this case before the release haven't got it yet, Looks nice. I got the incipio tough armor case in store on release day, kept the order for the spigen case in case its any better, but it sure does look nicer.
Got mine yesterday.
It's kind of nice yet I thing the power and sound button are now very hard to press.
Also it become complicated to open the usb cover (doable with a pen though)

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?
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
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.
I'm not a fan of bulky cases that add alot of girth to an already large phone. Also don't like silicone as it's too much friction going in and out of my pocket.
When I purchased my LG G3 at Best Buy I picked up their "house brand" most inexpensive case/condom for the phone and it is fantastic. Just thick enough to provide edge and corner protection from a mild fall but not so thick as to add alot of bulk to it. The G3 was also a very difficult phone to hold... almost too thin at the edges. This gave it a nice grippy edge to hold on to, but it wasn't silicone so it still slid in and out of my pocket.
Going to all the major retailers now is nothing but iphone iphone iphone and MAYBE a few S5 and S6 cases. Bestbuy, Target, Walmart, etc.
I have Amazon prime but this is something I'd like to see in person, maybe take out of the box before buying.
So any recommendations? Hope I have explained the type of case I'm looking for. I really don't want to ding up my new beautiful aluminum sides or god forbid shatter the glass. The edges are just a bit too slippery for my liking.
Thanks!

I bought the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for around $14 on Amazon and I love it. It's thin and has a premium feel to it.

I second this guy...
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid, a Spigen tough armor and an orange UAG case.
out of all I found out how well made the Samsung protective case is, also the feel in hand is great, not bulky very durable and it does protect the phone very good.
it has become my daily favorite case.
I still use the UAG case from time to time for looks but still bulky.
and well the Spigen cases I only used them for a while.

The first case I ordered was the Samsung OEM listed above. I used it for two weeks and decided to also order the Diztronic one I linked to. Between them, I use the Diztronic most of the time and actually like how it feels more than the Samsung one. But the Samsung is harder and does provide a little more protection.
I used this approach on my Note 2. Mask off your screen with masking tape. Apply 3 layers of electrical tape to al 4 corners of your device, neatly and evenly trimmed to act as "bumpers". Spray light even coats of Plastidip, 6 coats should do. If you don't like it or it becomes damaged you can peel it off. Apply your bumpers 1 layer at a time . Run a razor around the edge of the battery cover when dry, you can easily remove the battery cover whenever. Thinnest phone case you can imagine, and grippy. Minimal protection though

Yah I bought the Samsung OEM case in blue and I bought a Casology Bumper case in carbon Fiber. Both are superb but the samsung one is a bit thinner. Bot cases, though feel like you have the phone without a case. I like the corner bumpers as well on the Samsung Protective Case. It provides a very slim design without compromising protection.
Using black/grey version of Samsung's protective case. It is very good & slim. From back, the phone looks like Note 4 Active! Only thing I miss is a kickstand.

How is it when taking it out of your pocket? Is it smooth or is it like those silicone cases that are hard to take out? I recently got a Note 4 and I'm also looking for a case that's thin. Also, has anyone ever bought a S Pen from amazon or ebay and recommend it? I bought my Note 4 used and it didn't have the S Pen. Samsung website has them for $30 and it seems pretty expensive for a stylus.

Just get the stylus from Ebay. They have the original ones and theyre like 2 for $5 with rubber tips and everything. As for the Samsung Case, it provides decent protection and is very easy to take out of one's pocket. The silicon around the sides gives it grip but doesn't makenit clumsy to take out as the back is plastic and much more smooth.
