ive had a cheap little sleeve, and it really did nothing for protection. I know your against otterboxs, but I will still recommend a otterbox commuter. It DOES add some thickness to your phone, but it offers amazing protection. a sleeve really only protects from scratches, not big drops.

I went to the mall to test out the cheap cases and I could hear my phone hit the glass counter top when I gently turned it over. I went directly to Best Buy Mobile and overpaid for a Belkin... which is what I also bought for my original Incredible. I love the fit, protection, and coverage of the buttons. I clean my phones daily, so I like that the buttons aren't exposed.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
The inciPio silicrylic case. It's a slim 2 piece case at a reasonable price. It looks so GOOD to me. ( I have a white galaxy s 3 with the white and gray version of this case ) it's stylish, slim, and provides great protection

I have been really impressed with this case...not too bulky, nice grip on the side, the corners have extra reinforcement.
I have the Incipio Dual black/black on my white phone. Looks super sexy and really doesnt add much bulk while still providing great protection.

You can look at SGP's line of cases,
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3.html
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Lumi Series (Same as Color Series but brighter colors)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultra Thin Air Series (Polycarbonate back)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Modello Series (TPU Case)
I've tried the Incipio case and currently use an Otterbox. The Incipio case was nice and the color complimented well, but felt too loose. The Otterbox fits tight, but is too tight for those who need to change battery frequently or whatever. I haven't completed decided which I like better.
I have two Cruzerlite cases and i know some people who would like to know what they look comparing them to others.
So the cases shown are the Bugdroid and Open Experiance from Cruzerlite. The Samsung S View cover, Otterbox Commuter and the Ringke Slim case.
Each case has its purpose the Ringke slim keeps your phone slim but offers very little protection while the Commuter offers the best protection but it's bulky. Then you have the S View cover which is great but expensive if you get the original and still only offers a small protection.
While the two Cruzerlite case offer slim profiles they do have better protection then most cases. With good cutouts and great desings.
I use the otterbox mainly when I know others will be using my phone to take pictures and when going outdoors. While the Cruzerlite cases are my everyday cases along with the s view case.

Are u using a tampered glass protector with the cruzerlite case ??
em using a commuter it fits with the protector ... wanna know abt cruserlite !!
It should, I don't have a temper glass protector but I do have a regular screen protector. If your otterbox works then the cruzerlite cases should too.

i hav a tpu case much like the cruzerlite ...
that doesnt work ...
i loved to use it for normal days but mostly i used the commuter... now i just use the commuter and its bulky when just sitting at home ....
so asking if any1 has used cruzerlite with a 0.4mm protector !
I know a lot use the cruzerlite case with the wireless charging official back cover which is bigger and makes the phone bigger so I would think it would work. But hopefully someone with it will answer you.

Want a good protective case with a lip that covers the phone if I drop it face down, and also one that protects the camera as well, and doesn't add to much bulk. Recently bought this Spigen Case but it seems like it won't do crap if I dropped my phone!

That looks like a strong case. I use a spigen slim fit case with the same air cushioning technology and it protects my phone well.

If you like the Spigen brand, take a look at their Tough Armor case. I can't say enough good things about this case.
I'm slightly disappointed in the Spigen case I purchased. I picked up one of the Galaxy S5 Case Ultra Hybrid cases. My main requirement for a case was that it would cover the silver bezel on the S5 and the Spigen case appeared to according to the pictures. Sadly this is not the case. The silver bezel is small, but it's definitely still there which is really deceiving given the photos on there website.

You have the S5? And also, have you dropped it yet w/the case on?
I picked up the Speck Candyshell case in the store while I wait to see what else comes out. They have always been great protection.

same thing on my case I got the neo hybrid and the silver showing drives me crazy if they had made the lip on the front slightly wider , this would be a keeper , im just waiting and hoping ottterbox comes out with a case in this same blue color and I will order there commuter case
I have a Slim Armor for when I go out to run, walk or hike. I use a Ultra Fit for work and just normal use. I used a Slim Armor on my S4 and dropped it from a bar height table flat on the face and didn't leave a mark on it. Dropped it on the corners a few times as well and it still looks like new out of the case. I have been really impressed with the quality of build and protection of the Spigen over the last year. Not sure I would use anything else with the exception of OtterBox.
I just posted a review of the Poetic Atmosphere, which could fit your needs. I mention the lip protection, which you can see in the picture.
Hey Guys,
After a long time with iPhone 5 i decide to Move to android and to buy Note 4, so i I ordered the note few days ago and now i have to choose which case i will buy. now i have 4 options of cases and i will glad if you will help me to choose.
its very important for me the case will be good for drops and shock and will fit nice on the note 4 and to have access to all buttons and to the fingerprint scanner and with the screen glass protector fit well. one more important thing is that the cover does not scratch the phone.
in short the the case have to be a great one
well here is my options,
i tried to put links and its gave me an error beacuse im a new user.
1. Spigen Slim Armor ( 1 Layer ) - spigen.com/galaxy-note-4-case-slim-armor.html
2. Incipio Dualpro ( 1 Layer ) - incipio.com/cases/samsung-smartphone-cases/samsung-galaxy-note-4-cases/samsung-galaxy-note-4-dualpro-case.html
3. Case-Mate Naked Tough ( 1 Layer ) - case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4-Naked-Tough-Cases.asp
4. Otterbox Symmetry ( 2 Layers ) - otterbox.com/Symmetry-Series-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4/sam28-galaxy-note-4,default,pd.html
which case do you recommend?
thank you very much for your help!
i would get the iblason armorbox + samsung wireless charging cover. they work great and no need for wired charging. the iblason also makes the phone water resistant for light rain.

If you want your phone in a case that's slim, easy to hold and offer decent protection choose the Verus Thor. If you want more protection and a badass looking case choose the UAG case. If I were to chose on your list, I'd pick the Otterbox Symmetry looks okay and for sure it offers good protection too and I will also stay away from Spigen cases, there's a lot of reports that their cases causes scratches on the chamfered edges of our Note 4.

but its will take a time until i get them,
good to know about the spigen cases so i think i will go with the incipio dual pro case what do you say?

Guys finally i bought a case, i chose Otterbox Symmetry. what you say about this case?
It's a great looking case with above average protection no doubt. The only thing that turned me off from the symmetry case when I had tried it on in store was the fact that the volume/power buttons were difficult to press. If it weren't for that I would have bought the symmetry then and there. Are the buttons hard to press on yours?

Hi, I have a very limited choice and they are:
Spigen Case Capsule
Spigen Case Tough Armor
Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case
Spigen Slim Armor Case (*)
Spigen Neo Hybrid Case
Spigen Thin Fit Case
SP:
Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Guard
Spigen Crystal Hard Surface Screen Guard
Here are my questions:
I'm not buying these for protection at all, the reason i want to buy a case is i prefer to have a case when im outside (for some weird reasons i feel more comfortable with one outside )
and the reason i need screen protector is because my hands have so much friction to the screen! and btw the spigen kickstand sounds useful to me!
do you have any of these? do you like it?! (im basically asking for user experience)
Q1) Are any of those cases easy to take off? i plan to take it off once i arrive home! i don't want to scratch the metal of my note 4 and spend some time smashing it to take it off (and which of those are easy to take off?)
Q2) do the screen protectors help the friction? and do they bother the s-pen? i tried it on a note 2 with a random screen protector and it feels awful to work with, but those might be different!
I would go with the Neo Hybrid out your list. To me, it is the best looking case in you list. I've tried most of them. I don't think any of them are hard to take off.
The spigen crystal screen guards are good. I wouldnt say they would reduce friction, but they wont add to it. Spen is unchanged in funtionality.
The glass protector will produce a halo.

actually from my usage i found even gorilla glass 2 to be scratch-proof for me so the only reason i want screen-protector is friction, i can't play nova (my hands stick to screen) lol
but thanks for answer! don't they scratch the metal part of the Screen?!

None of the cases scratch the metal. particles between the case and metal scratch the metal.
I have the Spigen Tough Armor.
Nice case, feels good in the pocket. Good protection, rubber corners and such. The buttons are a little hard to identify by feel alone, that's one complaint.
Second complaint is the kickstand - Not so great. It clicks into place and it's HARD to get it out with just your fingernail. Then once you get it out, it flops around so you have to kind of hold it in place while you prop up the phone... and any bump will flip it back closed and cause your phone to fall.

thanks for you answer sounds like i better choose the neo(althought the Tough Armor's rear guard sounds god! and i might give the screen protector a try! i guess they don't change screen quality either!
How does the Tough Armor compare against the Slim Armor?
I'm gonna be getting a Galaxy Note 4 soon and I'm looking into getting a either a Spigen Tough Armor or Slim Armor case.
Spigen Neo Hybrid
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid for my Note 4 and honestly, I am kind of disappointed. I had it for my Samsung S4 and Note 3 and absolutely love the case for those phones. Never had a problem.
Even though the it fits perfectly for the Note 4, the trim is beginning to have the paint fade and chip away (never had this problem with the S4 or Note 3).
Also, regarding the Spigen Neo Hybrid, it is cut so specifically that some aftermarket micro USB or headphone jacks might not fit.

I have a Spigen Case Capsule and it is not good, the sides are too sharp. The overall feel of it is not good so I would steer clear.
Also with or without a case on the phone you can use the S pen as a kick stand.

yeah i tried the s-pen trick but it didn't work for me still im not gonna do that because i might damage my s-pen, specially that there are no replacements here i heard some bad about case capsule somewhere else too saying that its too sharp. but sounds like the other ones are not bad! anyway i was just going to order today
edit: after a bit of using my screen protector no longer has friction! It has so much reflection but anyway i changed my mind now its smooth and good! It just needed to be used a little!

I HAVE BOTH. Tough Armor is a little thinker than the Slim Armor. They both protect very well. and the thickness is not noticeable. But if you the type that is a stickler for the slim of the phone, go with the slim armor.

Ok my order arrived today, Let me start with case: its bulky but awesome i love it! buttons are not that terrible but not great, doesn't bother me really, its weird but it makes heart rate sensor easier to use i love it in total, worth the money
(and as you said the kickstand isn't great, but it doesn't really matter much to me)
i also ordered a xionami mi power bank its awesome but super-heavy, anyway
the screen protector is awful, just terrible, i mean, it made me cry to install, after an hour i installed it (a bit miss aligned ) and it not only makes screen look awful, but also gives it even more friction! the only reason i didn't take it right of is money :S i will let it be there for a little bit just for test! and give the other one to a friend or something ! (and i regret applying the wet cloth to screen, realized it was alcohol soaked cloth and it probably damaged my screen s-pen feels aweful to use! its not accuracy but how it feels! i felt that it's damaging my nib so put the old already used nib i had! this was my first and last screen protector
I have the Spigen Tough Armor in gunmetal blue. It does a great job and it is a little bit slimmer than my Otterbox Defender, which I mainly use when I'm at work. Otherwise I use the Spigen when I'm at home or everywhere else but work when I want something less bulky at times.
Also you can't beat the kickstand that comes on the back of the tough armor.
