Galaxy S4 Diztronic TPU Case Review

Diztronic has been a favorite case manufacturer of mine for some time. With the release of the Galaxy S4, Diztronic released their line of cases for it. As usual, the Galaxy S4 Diztronic case is well made and the fit is all but perfect. With eight different colors and shades available, you are sure to find one that fits your tastes. At only $9.99 with Amazon Prime shipping, this case is truly a steal.

We are giving away ten of these cases: Giveaway: 10 Galaxy S4 Diztronic TPU Cases

Thanks. I have the matte black on an actual phone and the bottom mic cutout is perfectly aligned and centered unlike in your video (which you make mention of). Just an FYI. Best S4 case out right now.

Would be a nice case if the matte black wasn't gloss black in the front.

Just received this case - it's fantastic.
Feels great, fixes the 'slimy' feel of the S4. Fits very well, all cutouts are perfectly positioned and I like that it covers the buttons as well. They're not too tough to hit either.

Sorry to hear you don't like the design choice, I personally think the glossy lip is what makes the case look so great!
Regarding mic hole positioning, it's spot on (at least on every case I've tested). If yours is centered you simply need to re-seat the case, it doesn't always go on straight since it's a flexible material.

Diztronic style is rather simple, I do like simple product.

I agree. Love the glossy lip. Have used your cases on my Evo 3D, Optimus G, HTC One, and S4. Great job on all of them!

Did it come with screen protector?

I personally wouldn't recommend these cases at all. My experience appears to be somewhat of an isolated one, but it fell waist-high on concrete and shattered my Galaxy Nexus. If you think dropping your phone is even a possibility I wouldn't get this case, and if you don't think you'd drop your device then why get a case?

Thin/minimalistic cases help to prevent everyday wear and tear on the phone, small scratches, scuff marks, etc. I am not expecting this case to prevent my phone's screen from cracking if I drop it onto concrete (I don't think it was designed for that and the manufacturer has certainly never claimed that). However, I don't drop my phone so that's not really a concern. I do expect this case though to prevent minor scratches and keep the phone protected from everyday wear and tear and so far, it has performed perfectly in that regard.

OneStepAhead: Do you have any plans for making Diztronic cases with ridged surfaces? It seems like one of the most common criticisms is that the smooth finish makes the case slippery. Thanks

Just a note, but I've never thought it was slippery. Yeah it's not tacky like some may come to expect, but this is also what makes it nicer than most other tpu cases.

I would use a razor blade. I usually heat it up to help it glide through the TPU.

I have owned Diztronic cases for every phone I've ever owned since they started making thjem back as TPU Cases.
For a simply wonderfully protective non bulky case there is nothing better IMHO..and I have bought plenty of other cases to try them.
I have arthritis in both thumbs...I drop things including phones. I have dropped every phone I have owned numerous times and never once have I had anything break in a TPU case from these folks...be it on the ceramic floor in the kitchen, wood floors in the dining room or on pavement in the driveway or on the road.
Could you break a phone dropping it in one of these? Of course if it falls just right. I bet you I have dropped my S3, No9te 2 and now my S4 at least two dozen times between them and nothing has broken or bent. Nada.
They fit to perfection as well.
They certainly aren't slippery...course I am always using the mat black variety.

i just PM'd him asking if that would be an option later down the road. Of course I sent it before searching this thread smh
i guess a razor blade would work pretty easy... If i do it, ill post up pics afterwards.

Had this case for the LG Optimus G, but I do not like how it doesn't cover around the camera area, unlike the UAG cases...

Just tried this case with my Spigen Glas.tr and it doesn't work. The bezel of the case comes too far onto the phone. So the case is kind of bulging out from the sides of the phone because it's hitting the edge of the screen protector. This makes hitting the power button and volume buttons more difficult.

Short Review: Diztronic Full Matte TPU Case

I used a Diztronic TPU on my Galaxy Note 3 so I was very happy to see a preorder on Diztronic's website for a full matte version for the Note 4. I preordered on Nov.16 and received the case on Saturday.
My impressions of this case are very positive. The case is slim and fits the phone nicely. Mine shows no bulging or loose edges. The matte TPU does provide some screen standoff on the front side. I measured this at 0.75mm. Mic, headphone, USB and pen holes align nicely and the buttons retain a nice tactile feel with this case. I use a Verizon Note 4 and can confirm that the case I received DOES have a slotted left side mic opening to support the Verizon Note 4. The button covers are molded into the TPU but have pronounced edges, so they are easy to find without having to look at the phone.
I use the YooTech wireless charging receiver insert and the Diztronic TPU fits nicely with this receiver in place. I do not believe it would fit with the factory wireless charging back as the case fits perfectly to the stock phone. The case does have a small raised ridge around the camera lens and small ridges around the speaker. This gives some protection for the camera lens and keeps the case from "sealing" against the table and muting your notification tones. The area around the flash is open and I am able to very reliably get heart rate readings for S Health, something that isn't easily found with many thicker cases.
The TPU material is quite thin. Diztronic's website says 1.6mm and my measurements seem in line with that number. The case does not add much bulk and for sure feels slimmer in the hand all-around when compared to the Spigen Slim Armor I had been using since I got the phone. I'm sure it won't provide the kind of protection that the Slim Armor does, as the cushioning material is thinner, but it sure does feel nice in the hand while offering some level of protection over a bare phone.
One of the things I really like about this case is the matte finished TPU. It feels smooth and slick in hand and does not show much in the way of fingerprints. The matte finish slides easily in/out of your pocket. Diztronic made a good move by relocating their branding to the side of the case, which adds a little bit of grip and keeps the look super clean overall.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the Diztronic Full Matte TPU case for Note 4. It provides some protection for the phone and is a little more grippy in-hand than the bare phone. I like that the screen stands off a bit and the camera lens is somewhat protected. I also appreciate that the full matte finish doesn't collect pocket lint or gunk and doesn't show much in the way of fingerprints. And it looks classy!
I really like the Note 4 as a caseless device. It feels very slim for its size and feels great. Unfortunately, I know I am going to inevitably drop it at some point and want some protection without making the phone too bulky, which is really easy to do. The Diztronic Full Matte TPU feels like it hits that sweet spot for me. Time will tell, but for now I give it two solid thumbs up.
:good: :good:
I purchased this case direct from Diztronic: LINK I expect they will probably be available via Amazon shortly. They are currently showing as available on Diztronic's website in both matte black and matte grey.
Updated to include Verizon mic confirmation and pics attached.

Does it have an elongated mic opening for Verizon users? This is the case I've been waiting for...always a favorite.

Absolutely loved mine for my previous phone. Best TPU cases imo. Looking forward to seeing your pics.
I'll probably pick one up even though I might opt for a more protective case this time around.

Yes, my apologies - I thought I had called that out but must have lost it when editing. The Diztronic Matte TPU DOES have a slot shaped opening which supports Verizon Note 4. My Verizon Note 4 is shown in the pics I've added above.

Thanks for the update! I just ordered one. I've had a Diztronic case for my last 3 phones and have been happy with all of them. I'm sure this one will be no different.

thanks for the review! i've always been iffy with diztronic, yet i seem to get one per each phone i have just to have one lol..
out of all the TPU's i use, they're always the most bulky which i dislike, because i like them thin..but there's NO good note 4 tpu's out there whatsoever. i'm currently using a clear S line TPU, which is good and all, but the mic holes don't line up perfect, and it doesn't fit as well as it could..plus it's clear, and we all know clear starts looking like crap after a few weeks. i've gotten like 4 other TPU's and shell cases and I hate all of them.
diztronic is nice because they do a lip around the camera, which NO tpu's are doing right now, which means your camera is pretty much flush against the surface which i hate...and they also have two little bumps by the speaker to elevate the speaker off the table so it's not muffled! FINALLY, a TPU maker with some sense knocked into em!
either way, i ordered the gunmetal gray because every diztronic i ever got was always black, so i'm looking for a nice change. ordered today, they say those ship out tomorrow the 26th, so maybe I'll get it by saturday or monday with thanksgiving coming up and all. this will be like my 6th or 7th case already for the Note and I've only been using 1 lol

Does it fit with the OEM Qi back?

I don't find the Diztronic bulky at all. The Diztronic for the Note3 was very rounded feeling, where the Note 4 Diztronic is more squared off and edgy, just like the Note 4 itself. I think you'll like it and the holes line up nicely as pictured above.

As noted in my review, I do not believe it would fit with the OEM back. I say this because it fits relatively snug as-is with the stock back or stock back + thin Qi receiver. But I don't have an OEM Qi back to try it with.

My black one is scheduled to deliver on Saturday. I will post my thoughts at that time. Not like anyone cares.

oh hey lagbuddy lol saw you randomly around here, glad to see you're still stalking me and getting every device i get haha
but yeah, my gunmetal gray one is coming saturday! you know what's sad? this one wasn't even out, it was a pre-order, and i'm STILL getting it quicker than this nillkin bumper case i ordered on ebay from Nov 11th. it's from china, yet it's still not here yet. other chinese orders i've gotten took a week, maybe 1.5 weeks. it's over 2 weeks now for this stupid thing and i doubt i'll see it before the diztronic lol

Haha, what's up brother? I really liked my diztronic on my laggy as hell S4.
So I'm hoping to like this one as well. Good luck bro!

Diztronic makes the best TPU cases as far as I'm concerned. I was disappointed when they had to delay the release due to the Verizon mic hole revelation, and ended up going with a UAG case, but anybody looking for a great case for under 10 bucks, this is what you want. I might even pick one up for myself, just in case.

Diztronic is awesome. I had their case on my Note 3, LG G3, and now I'm waiting for the Note 4 case that supports the OEM wireless charging back. They made one for the S5, I really hope they make one for the Note 4!

I ordered mine today. It is only 12 Euro, together with shipping to Ireland, directly from manufacturer's page.
Already have Spigen Capsule and it is great, but flat buttons and flat speaker hole are not perfect for me. Diztronic seems to meet all my requirements. Hope it will appear to be true

I forgot to post yesterday, but I got my black Diztronic yesterday, a day earlier than estimated. It is the best case I've tried so far, although I haven't tried a lot yet.
The fit is perfect, not too loose or too tight. It adds almost no bulk which I really like. The matte black is awesome and feels great in the hand. Not super grippy, but it will do the job. All of the cutouts are perfect. The camera has enough raise that the lens won't touch a flat surface and the charger fits in without the case interfering. The buttons are also very easy to press, no problems there. In fact, the buttons are easier to press with this case on than without it.
The only thing I noticed is that in a couple areas, the frame moves pretty easily if you pull on it. Especially near the charging port. It doesn't sag at all which is great, but I just wonder if it will become an issue over time. Possibly not but that's the only small thing I've noticed so far.
Other than that, this case is fantastic and blows away any Spigen that makes your phone uneccesarily bulky and for less money.
I do also have an official Samsung protective case coming that is supposed to ship next week. I've heard that's also an amazing case, so I will compare once I get that.
I didn't take any pics of my Diztronic since so many great pics have already been posted. But let me know if you would like to see any.

Nillkin frosted shield case

http://nillkin.org/accessories/smar...sories/nillkin-sony-xperia-z5-compact-frosted
I bought the black and the gold one. My phone looks amazing

any photos of the thickness? One thing that prevents me from getting this case is the thickness, since the phone is already a bit thick for its size.

And the black one:

I got one of these as I was looking for case that would provide for a more secure grip. This delivers on that front - the plastic is almost soft-touch, and the texture on the back is great.
Unfortunately the lens/flash cutout (on the white version at least) seems to cause problems with flash photography. Specifically, I get a lot of glare on the left side of pics taken with flash. I confirmed this by removing the case and retaking the same pic - no glare.
No such issue with a TPU case that had a bigger cutout around the lens/flash.

This seems to be the case with many of the chinese made cases ( at least in my experience).

I picked one up as an open box on Amazon to use as an interim case. I have an Orzly glass protector and it doesn't interfere, in fact it looks quite nice. My only complaint is that when one-handing the phone, I personally rest my pinky on the bottom by the charging port and I find that the case will cut into it causing discomfort.

Awesome, cheers for the response. I actually decided to go ahead and order it anyway last night. From the pictures it looked like it doesn't cover over the screen.

The no-brand TPU case didn't affect flash photography, neither does the soft-touch hard case that replaced the Nillkin. Both were made in China.
The shape and size of the cutout is what matters, not where it's made.

Tudia Merge Case

Just received it yesterday, here some pics
More to come soon!

how thick is the back in mm or in? do you think you could fit a metal plate between the TPU and the hard polycarbonate to make it work with a magentic mount?
Sucks than my nylon bumper is to thick and slides from the magnetic mount
Also if you have a scale could you tell me how many grams does it weight and also how is the raisivity on the edges for when putting the phone face down or in case of a drop?
Thanks!

Not a fan of it or Tudia cases in general.

I only bought it because no other cases in the U.S market were good. The clear cases are just stupid, and that one case with the carbon fiber top and bottom is very thin so I had to go with the protective daddy

I ended up ordering this one too, that otterbox was just too thick for me. Ebay has a 20% off sale going on now and you can find nylon cases marked up to $30 but it ends up having free shipping and it's in stock. I might grab one of those after seeing the replacement for a back panel was only $19.20 + labor.

Just received mine. So far ok. I like the added weight it gives. Wish the front lip was a little higher and the back is a bit slippery. Last one saved my OPO for 3 years though! And yes the back camera cutout looks like a ****. Thank you previous poster for ruining that

https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-One-Pl...m=163052111365&_trksid=p2385738.c100677.m4598
$2.84 Free Shipping. By far the best value for the money. Very heavy duty and fits like a glove. I bought 3 different colors and could not be happier.
Too many people around here think they have to spend big money to get good cases. Not true.

Those cases aren't that good, I bought one for my old phones and the first drop made it shatter! It was only a drop of concrete when it fell out of my pocket.

Yes! Used it on my drive this morning. Perfect to hide the plate and not scratch anything (other than maybe the inside of the case).
I like this case so far. Seems like good protection and not too thick, decent buttons. The only thing I don't like is it's hard to slide the slider toggle.

Yeah I have to dig in with my nails and I'm afraid to scratch the paint of the phone.

Question Will Z-Flip 3 cases fit the Z-Flip 4?

Like the title says will my old Z-Flip 3 cases fit the Z-Flip 4?

My Samsung Aramid case fits, but has a slight misalignment over the flash module.

My case fits on Flip 4 too, just as good as on Flip 3 5G.

Interesting case. is it as chunky as it looks though?

Im sure it will "fit" like most samsung cases they make slight changes each gen to make them not fit perfect. Have run into this issue going from s20fe to s21fe.

Haha this was the first hinge protective case I found as I was pretty scared to skateboard tricks without a hinge protected case (for example before this I had the default white silicone case by Samsung).
When the black case is open, the hinge protector protrudes as much as the part with the supportive 'leg', say 3 mm.
Material feels rubberised plastic, and the black one is pitch black color. I paid Ali shipping, and they sent the case by DHL, so 1 week to NL.
I never dropped Flip 3 5G or 4 ... the case (both) make the phone sit good in hand. Without a case ... both phones felt very 'slippery'.

It can fit, but it is slightly off and can press on one of the side buttons a little which may cause it to change the screen oddly like some kind of looping ( I read) so they removed the flip3 case from the flip4 and the looping stopped

I've found the bottom right lip of the top part of the case (below power button) doesn't grip the body properly so the case keeps pinging off. Really annoying Samsung haven't made one for the Flip 4. The closest I can find is from Latercase.

While the Flip 3 cases will fit, the charging port and flash do not completely align. Everything what seems to fit flawlessly.

They wouldn't make it 100% compatible at risk of losing precious $$

My official samsung leather flip 3 case while fits the flip 4 has volume rocker issues which render it useless. Not really caring as samsung offered 900 buck for it so I ended paying 150 for the flip 4 but it came with a rubbery case with a loop and I got the awesome bud pro 2, which is really what I wanted anyway, Gonna sell the flip 4 as I have an s22 ultra. I just wanted the buds.
