So, I have always hated taking a beautiful sleek phone and encasing it in thick plastic or giant black cases. With waterproofing etc phones go more places than ever but I've hated most of the semi thick case options. Bulk, feel, thickness.
Enter the TORRAS crystal clear case (Amazon). I've purchased cheap hard plastic thin cases before looking for light corner protection but ultimately a good feel and no bulk. They were OK. This thing is exactly what I want. If you're a minimalist case person. Highly reccomend.
PROS:
Matches the whitestone screen cover near perfectly. No spacing on sides (goes straight from screen protector to case) and maybe a millimeter at top and bottom)
Raised lip top and bottom for screen protection
Its slick so slides in and out of coat pockets and jeans easy yet grips enough in hand
Rubbery feel has SOME impact protection. Especially in corners.
Has seperate sections for camera and finger sensor. It has actually kept me from touching the camera 100% of the time. Don't know why others don't do this.
Dot pattern inside keeps the "wet spot" look way
Colored edges (optional) give a great look.
It was 13 bucks. It's almost a no brainer.

I like the case but find it a bit slippery to hold. The sides are pretty slick.
Nice case, but I Prefer no button covers...

When new it was good with grip. After a few days and the oils built up on the case it became more slick.

Got my Duzign Brio textured case today. The outside has a rough mild sandpaper like texture. It is easily the "grippiest" case I've ever used. Initial impressions are very good. Everythin lines up perfectly. The cae fits *tight* and doesn't slide around at all. The felt lining inside is nice. My Note2's case got pretty scruffed up inside a case with no felt lining where it slid around inside the case and wore spots on to the phone. The outer lip did slide easily over my screen protector without causing bubbles. Time till tell how the case holds up, or how dirty it will get. Will update the post later once I've owned it a while.

I should be receiving mine tomorrow.
I'm currently sporting a Ringke Slim, which is nice but I don't like the lack of the lip covering the screen.
Had the diztronic TPU as well but that case is a bit slippery. Great Pictures. Thanks for the info.
It's a good case. The only complaint would be the texturing isn't as resilient as I'd hoped. I learned the hard way, don't wipe it off with any sort of cleaner. A Clorox wipe removed a large amount of the grip texture from mine.
Hey all, I received a Blue ZeroLemmon Razor Armor Case yesterday.

Everything was delivered in perfect condition, and was well packaged.
I wanted to compare it to one of my other cases for the phone, a White Ringke flex Slim Fusion Slim Armor.
The Ringkle, came with two plastic body shells and a screen protector. The two shells are nice but I have only used the textured one.
Ok. On to the comparison. First off, I can you tell the ZeroLemmon case rubber part is thicker, and provides more protection on all corners and edges of the phone.
This extra padding is great, and im getting use to the sharper corners and shape of the case to help hold the phone.
My Favorite feature so far is in the enginerring that went into the case. ALL THE PORTS AND HOLES LINE UP PERFECTLY! And the charging port is easy to access and open and easier than the Ringke.
Please respond to this post if you have any questions. Ill post some updates after I get a few days use out of it.
Thanks!
Update. Haven't had one single pocket dial since putting on the case. I'm not sure what color blue it is, but it matches my running gear.
..
Yeah, I am very happy with it. And do like the way it feels in my hand. I am going to try out my old case, the Ringke flex Slim Fusion Armor tomorrow, and see which one I like better.
I really do like the blue color, and have dropped my phone twice and it has been well protected.

Thanks for the comparison. We looking to see if this is the right amount of button pressure users will like. We look to apply this button pressure to other cases
The button pressure works just fine, and I like that they are bigger than the Ringke i compared it too.
The case also sits nicely around the edge of the bezel and leaves a nice border to allow easy screen shots with the gesture and for turning on the one handed mode
ZeroLemmon Case wins! I donated my old Ringke slim Armor to another s5 user, as the ZeroLemmon case is my choice.
The phone just feels better in my hand, and a better charging port access, plus i really like the color.
Cool! We are glad the pressure works out on the button. we have been tuning the case buttons for all our products to provide uniform pressures
This will be a fairly brief review. I'm not going to post any pictures -- the Amazon product page will have to suffice.
I'm still deciding on what type of case (if any) to use with my S5.
I've never been a big fan of this type of rugged case because of the bulk they add to the phone. This one is probably one of the smaller ones, which is a plus. The TPU part of the back fits just flush with the camera protrusion in that spot and then adds a slight ridge around it. The frame in the front seems slightly deeper than it needs to be, but it doesn't interfere with using the phone.
The overall look is really good - seems to be a common design. The interchangeable backs I think are great. They look and to some extent feel like aluminum although they are plastic. Everything fits very tightly. Nothing is going to come apart accidentally here.
One concern I had was the cutout for accessing the already-difficult USB port cover. It is indeed quite deep but there is just enough room for getting a fingernail under the left edge of the door. It doesn't really interfere with the opened flap or the cable.
The buttons are easily accessed through the case -- too easily, I found. I am constantly accidentally unlocking my screen in my pocket - not good. I would prefer a little more texture to them so that you can tell by feel if your finger is on one, but that doesn't help the pocket issue.
The screen protector is for me a major killer. It absolutely kills the look and feel of the screen, but even worse, the opening for the fingerprint sensor seems to be a lint magnet. I have a ton of lint and dust between the phone and the protector after about a week. If I absolutely loved this case in all other ways, I'd cut the protector right out. Really don't need or want it.
Generally speaking though, in all other ways it's a pretty nice case, and a good option among this type.
Looks very similar to the Zerolemon S5 case, without the squared off corners. Hopefully I'll have my ZL case tomorrow or Thursday, might grab one of these as well and compare them directly.
I agree with you jdock, Case overall is good but when it comes to using it in on daily basis it adds weight and takes extra space in your pocket. It seems they should actually do something about the screen protector.

you can easily pop the screen protector out with just a little bit of pressure, makes the case alot better IMHO, the protector just wouldnt get pristine.
Who have this case any recommendations?

Perfect
I have one, grey colour. After trying many cases, I think this one does the best job. It protects well and also leaves the phone accents to be easily seen.
Sure, I am not the biggest fan of TPU cases as they tend to loose in time, but this one is actually quite ok.
And one more thing: it definitely does not scratch the metal edges.

it's not a bad case,but beware if there's a dust will scratch the silver side of note 4...
also after 2month usage,the bottom of the case start loosing,but typical problem for tpu case after some times
Got similar TPU case and had to cut out the buttons they are so sensitive on this device it was going out and on up and down all the time
I have the grey one, it is very cheap. I don't like it, it fits well and is slim but I don't like the feel, shiny and rubbery makes it feel very cheap to me...I know it is cheap but I don't want my phone to end up feeling cheap
I would love to see pictures of a phone in this... right now there're just pictures of the backs themselves...
Hi,
I have a question to OP. Is the TPU case thick enough to protect the back camera from touching the ground surface when placing on table or floor etc?
I have purchased a cheap TPU case before but it leave the back camera exposed to the potential of scratching when placing on table. Currently using Spigen Neo Hybrid which works perfect but look a bit bulky.
Thanks.
I just hate the sticky rubbery feel of TPU. Just feels cheap to me. Also these TPU cases tend to sag and loosen over time.
I have this and a diztronic, diztronic is in a whole different league, still essentially a rubber case but so so much better and doesn't feel cheap.
Wassup guys just a little review. Got my 1st case in today. Wish i had the phone to go inside it. 2 part case.
1st impressions....very nice case. Great feel to it. Light and comfortable. May be a little slippery but not too bad. Sides do offer some grip tho with rubberish material. Great finish on it with the coral blue. Kick stand feels decent stays in place when open and snaps back closed when needed. Button press seems like it will be fine but cant tell until phine arrives. Over all protection id rate 6 out of 10.
1 of the things i noticed first was how thin the case was. This is not a bad thing. Im comming from a note 4 with a verus thor case and can fit the new case almost inside the verus thor note 4 case. This is good relating to actual phone size. My note 4 was slightly too large to properly hold it in my hand. This seems like it will be nearly perfect for me.
2 things im worried about.....when the phone is in the case and face down im hoping it leaves a gap between the surface and screen. I believe it does but again i need my phone to tell.
2 inner part of kickstand. Im worried about it somehow scratching the back glass of the phone. Anyone know where to get a rear body plastic protector?
Check out some pics. Hope this helps.
Nice. I was checking those out. I bought 5 Thors for my N4 at $3 each. Waiting for that sale again from Verus. Bring on the N7!
Buy a premium metal glass phone and put it into a plastic rubber case breaks my heart. Waiting for the drop tests if it's durable I will add skin on the back to only remove those finger prints and make the phone less slippery. Maybe some mental frame would be cool too, but then phone becomes more bullky.
I got the VRS TPU case. Looks pretty awesome so far!
