I have the Diztronic and I'm pleased with it. I've bought Cruzerlite in the past too and they are also very good.
Check out the Poetic cases on Amazon as well. That's my personal favorite right now.

Good luck getting a tpu or snap on case that doesn't muffle the rear speaker. I have the diztronic one in clear, and it almost killed the volume, I can barely hear the phone ring.

I have a couple of options. I like Diztronic, Acase (extra protection) and Tudia. I made some videos on youtube, This is the acase http://youtu.be/CcmS-pvQtdM. this is the http://youtu.be/TC6krrzUjfE, this is the tudia http://youtu.be/LtIMUNYlQdA I have others but these are my favorites
I got a Cimo one ... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BLQIIM4/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Quality is pretty good, however it's supposed to be clear but it looks very very white. Also thicker than my father-in-laws "official samsung thin case" that he has on his s3, but it protects the screen if you turn it over which is nice.
Check out DBA ultra cases...slim profile of a tpu paired with hard PC shell plus they come in many color combinations...the s4 prototypes are still being tested but I'm sure they'll b on par with the note 2 ultra pc's which i have...

I second that. I've had Diztronic cases in the past and they've never let me down. I like them way more than the S-Line cases.
I am a casual user. I want a case that is well-built, will last long, gives adequate protection, yet does not add much bulk. Originally, I liked the Neo Hybrid, but after some more research, I read that it is not very well-built as the outer layer breaks at the USB cable port.
I don't usually drop my phone, but it happens. I'd like the case to be aesthetically pleasing too.
Thanks.
Also, what case colors would go well with a black S4?
I too was disappointed with the neo hybrid. The style is awesome but with it breaking at the thin spot above the USB port and the color flaking off is a big issue. Sad too that the customer service is one of the worst in the industry.
I have been looking for something like it but haven't made my mind up yet.

It was 9 bucks, super thin and has a nice lip for face down screen protection. Looks sick on my white s4!!

I'm on the hunt as well. I might still get the NEO though. I've only seen a couple people complain about the brake point and you never know how hard people are on there phones.
The others I'm thinking about:
UAG - Might be too bulky and "industrial" looking though. Has reviews on xda.
supcase - I'm not sure if I like the style, but I don't think it will be very bulky. Has reviews on xda.
puregear dualtek - I think the fat corners might be too bulky on this one, but gets good-ish reviews on amazon
obliq xtreme pro - kinda like a mix of the spigen armor and the uag.... still might be too industrial for me though. Has reviews on xda.
acase Acase makes some decent stuff for the price... I've owned an acase before for a tablet. This kinda looks like an incipio clone.
cruzerlite - cheap and has good amazon reviews.... might have reviews on xda... I can't remember.
I'm very much leaning towards the NEO. I'll buy it w/ a credit card (credit cards add a year extension to your warranty, did you know that?) through amazon. If I have any issues w/ it and spigen doesn't respond, I'll go through those channels (which are pretty fast).
If there is a spigen father's day sale this weekend... I'll get the NEO... otherwise I may not.
Whats your thoughts?
Yea the neo hybrid is very nice I have it on my phone. I was gonna get an otterbox but it added way to much bulk.

If you want no bulk, you can go for PARFITI case.
Tunewear also gets some slim cases.
see what colors you want.
I am more into eye catching color. So I have ordered one from PARFITI. Awaiting to it
Go for a UAG case, they are awesome protection and don't add too much bulk. The Spigen cases look nice (slim armor and neo hybrid) but I don't think they offer much protection against drops. I have the Slim Armor and never used it as I feel I will crack my screen if I drop my phone screen first. Uag highly recommended by me

I think people are obsessed with protection.
I just received the Neo Hybrid and it seems to be a perfect armor. At least, for a daily protection. Actually, for me it's too thick: the bumper is like 3mm while in the front and back it's just 0,8mm, which is perfect because it makes the screen and the camera not to touch any surface.

Are there keyboard flip cases out there?
just posted this in its own thread but you should check it out
I originally bought the Neo Hybrid myself, and I really liked the looks and size, but the one fault I couldn't look over was that it didn't fit my favorite gym headphones. I would've kept the case if it wasn't for that.
I went with the Slim Armor. It adds slightly more bulk thickness wise, but it's actually a little less wide. Not sure if it was because of the color combination of the Neo Hybrid (dante red), but the Slim Armor (metal slate) actually looks smaller.
Im a big fan of Spigen and like both their Slim Armor and Neo Hybrid cases, though paramount to me is which one has the smallest footprint, and adds the last amount of bulk to the height and width of the phone. Has anyone seen these cases side by side?
the slim armor is slimmer, but also offers less protection

I bought a neo hybrid case when i got my s4. it's made up of two pieces and can be a hassle to take off completely. I ended up sending it back because the button extender for the power button was on so tight that you couldn't tell when you were actuating the button anymore. The slightest tap would wake the phone. That's a big no no if you have it in a pocket. I got the ultra thin air case in rubberized black, and never looked back. I'm not one prone to dropping 700 dollar equipment, so it suits me just fine. Wicked cheap too. I recommend pairing any case you get with a steinheil ultra crystal screen protector as well. It gets greasy sometimes, but a nice microfiber cloth has it looking brand new again in a few strokes. Have had one on mine since i bought it months ago and still don't have a scratch on it.
I love my Neo Hybrid. Never had any issues with the buttons at all...

In some of the amazon reviews, I saw that people said that extended use of the neo hybrid case led to the volume and power buttons of the s4 becoming pushed into the phone so that once you took of the case it was very hard to push the buttons.
Has this happened to anyone else? After having used the neo hybrid for a while?
Not me.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
If you're getting the neo hybrid, buy the one with the reinforced frame (only available on the Spigen website iirc). The frame around the USB port is too flimsy and can break easily if you're not careful.
My question is which has the least amount of bulk, im pretty spilt on either one in terms of style.
My Neo Hybrid broke on the bottom above the charging port from everyday use even when in a leather holster. So I got the Slim Armor View and I'm very happy with it. Everyone who sees it, wants one for their phone. But they are only for the S4 right now.

My only issue with the Slim Armor ports is that the power port could be about half a mm bigger on each side. Its a very snug fit with some of the more bulky micro-USB connectors.
One very nice feature is that it has the terrestrial TV antenna port for the japanese S4, at least on the cases sold in Japan.
I think the fake neo hybrid cases actually have a larger charging hole.

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.
Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.
I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.

Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case

I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!

I typically swear by them, but this deduce feels so good in my hand, I'm having a hard time deciding whether or not to buy a case..
That as a screen protector. The glass is just silky..
On the other hand, a skin I am seriously considering..
Any and all discussions and inputs most welcome..

have an otterbox defender on order so i got the t21 while i wait, i like it so far, slim and protective.
I have the tech21 one and will use it if I need better protection. I don't care for its ergonomics especially when it comes time to remove the S-Pen! It's too hard. The buttons require a lot of force to actuate too. And I question the deep wells around the microphone holes how they may affect sound quality when recording video...
I just got this today:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHVLU90/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's super thin and shiny and all. For $5.99 it's a no brainer if you are a member of the "barely there" crowd.
I don't know what Diztronic has against edge phones as there was no case for the S7E and probably the Note 7 as well. They are my favorite case for thinness. But for now this six dollar shiny plastic will do.
EDIT: Now I see Diztronic does have a Note 7 case! Looks to be backordered a week or two but I will be getting it.

My wife has the Caseology Parallax series in the Mint color she loves it, a decently grippy case with the back being kinda soft with dimples. I've got the Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case, not as grippy as hers but still feels good. Pretty slim case though (doesn't add much bulk at all) and it fits like a glove. Got both off Amazon, for $14.99 and $15.99 I believe. Now I've just got to find us some screen protectors that won't peel on the edges. We got the Skinomi Techskin Full Coverage (case friendly) version 1 protectors and mine peeled like crazy and my wife's is on pretty good. Haven't heard much about the version 2 that just released, I'm hoping they fixed the issue. Anybody tried the version 2 Skinomi Techskin case friendly version with a case by chance?

It specifically says "version 2" in the description when ordering on Amazon. My description does not include "version 2", as well as clearing it up with Skinomi, when asking for a warranty replacement due to this thing peeling. But ordering it directly from Skinomi or elsewhere, I'm not sure, I don't know if on the box it says revised version 2 or anything like that, as I haven't received it yet. Do you have the Skinomi Techskin too?
