Just as it says, what is everyone using?
I'll go first. Currently using a cheap generic cover from mall. An otterbox defender is on order, however.
Ever since I saw the Nexus 5(one of the most fragile smartphones I've experience over the past couple of years) in a drop test in the Bugdroid Cruzerlite TPU case on YouTube, I have been sold on their cases. I was a fan of simple bumper cases before these.
Since I am used to having one of those on my N5, when I first got the G3, it felt too thin, was hard to grip and hold properly. Since then, I have received the black Bugdroid case(3 days ago) and I have been loving it on the G3. I couldn't say enough good things about the case and how it feels in the hand with this device
Love my Bodyglove case! Feel great and super grippy.

Circle cover case cause I wanted the wireless pma charging ability and I like the circle case lock screen. For the pma charger I picked up Duracell 24 hour three piece set for iPhone 4/4s. Base charger in the set works for the circle case and used the 4s charging case for my work iPhone. Only paid $19 from Amazon for charging set but $59 from att for circle case

How much thicker is the quick circle case compared to the stock back? How difficult would it be to remove the pma reciever & install in stock back?

The plastic isn't flush on the corners like oem back but it doesn't look bad. Also the back feels more tactile. There doesn't seem to be a bigger 'bump' on the back vs oem. Main diff is the corners and the feel.
Not sure how hard it would be to do a transplant of the receivers....

Bought the case linked below while I wait for the red Seidio Surface case/holster combo to become available. For $9, it's much more than I expected. Very good quality and has a kickstand on the phone shell and the holster.

I have Spigen slim armor and zagg invisible shield glass. Both provide excellent protection.
Supcase Bumper C ase
I'm using supcase bumper case and a glass screen protector. It's a frost back so you can see the back of the phone and it's a perfect fit.. Its thin so it adds minimum bulk. Got it off amazon.:good:
Raw doggin it for now. Cases add too much bulk for my liking, till I drop it and it takes a beating. Then I'll most likely get as small and thin a case as I can find.
I picked up the AT&T tempered glass screen protector. It is on the expensive side at $29, but I used the $15 Isis credit that the AT&T rep hooked me up with, so the out of pocket cost was only $15 and it was great to get it right away. I bought the phone at bestbuy and they didn't tell me about the Isis credit.
The protector is great. No complaints.
I really want the official slim case when it is available in the US.
Im using the Otter Box Defender. It does add some bulk but the protection is extraordinary and it looks nice as well. The one downfall of this case is the screen protector is reflective.
On your defender holster clip, is there an excessive amount of space at the bottom between the holster and phone?
Just got a white Poetic Invictus case off ebay. The G3 version does not have the funky kickstand. Good fit with not too much bulk. It's no otterbox, but for $12.95 I can't complain. Only gripe is that the plastic is rather slippery.
Rocking a black incipio dualpro with an iCarez 0.2mm tempered glass screen protector. Works nice and looks good too!

Currently using the PT Platinum, it was the only thing Best Buy had in store for the LG G3. I was waiting for the Otterbox Symmetry Series to show up on Amazon so I can return the PT, but it hasn't yet..
I think the Otterbox site has themfor sale
I can count on a single hand the number of times I dropped my Galaxy Note over the past 2.5 years, and it was mostly onto carpet, so I felt getting a giant Otterbox this time around would be superfluous. I'm using a Spigen Slim Armor Case, which has much better grip than the actual phone, has decent padding on the inside, and isn't too thick. I've had it for five days and love it. The LG G3 would slide out of my pocket while driving, but with the case there's enough friction to prevent that, though not enough to make it a hassle pulling it out.

Actually, the defender series this time doesn't seem as bulky as in the past. But I'm still thinking about buying the slim armour and a leather holster.
super snug case. looks good.

I was not too satisfied with my Kraken II that I got not so much due to its size but because I did not like the screen protector, the dust covers were not so easy for me to open(I have no fingernails), and just the overall feel of the case. I decided to order the Cyclops when I saw it was available to see if I wanted to either stay with that or to rebuy an Aegis.
The Cyclops was the easiest to install compared to the Kraken and the Aegis and the dust covers are also a lot easier to access. The buttons have a great feel to them, probably the best I have seen on a case. The power buttons are volume rocker clicks very easily. I am sure with a day of use I will adjust to it.
It has a great feel compared to the Kraken II. It is very grippy and easy to hold. It looks very similar in size but the Cyclops feels a little thinner. The screen protector is static cling unlike the one on the Kraken II. I never use screen protectors so this is a huge plus for me. It also comes with small protector that you can stick onto the back of the case to protect the camera and flash from dust.
I plan on adding more to this post. I opened the box and installed on my Charge around 10 minutes before I started typing. My initial thoughts are that if you are looking to purchase a case, the Trident Cyclops is the one to go with. I have used a cheap tpu case, the Otterbox Commuter, Incipio Double Cover and Feather, and the other 2 Trident cases and this one is going to be the one I will continue to use.
Edit: The bottoms buttons are very easy to hit. I needed to line up the silicone button covers up better.
Sorry that my pictures suck. The red case is the Kraken II and the Blue one is the Cyclops.

Verizon sold that case in store as the Double Cover. It seemed alright when I had it but when I realized it had no cutout for the hdmi port it got packed right back up and sent back. I might have had it on my phone for 10 minutes. I can't really give much more on an opinion on it other then that. It was nice and thin but the silicone seemed a lot lighter and not as durable as the Trident and Otterbox cases.
Thanks for posting info. on yet another option moondrius. I now have four cases to sell. The Otterbox Commuter, the Trident Aegis, the Trident Kraken 2, and the case I am currently using; the Casemate Barely There. The Casemate is a joke. It isn't good for anything other than scratch protection. I was hoping for better corner protection in the event of a drop.
The quest for the perfect case continues.
I actually ordered a pair of TPU cases for $3.50. If those don't work, I'm going to settle on the SILICRYLIC. I don't use the HDMI port and it seems to be a good compromise of protection vs. bulk.
How is the access to the pull down menu with the Cyclops?

It's a lot better then the Kraken. It's a little curvier at the top of the Cyclops so it's easier to pull down the notification bar.

Hi,
I would really like to get your opinions on which case I must buy for the Infuse. I've always use the Otterbox for my previous phones and now, I just saw the Ballistic HC/SG cases. After reading opinions on the web, it seems that they both offer reliable protection.
My question is : What case would you reccommend? The Otterbox Defender or the Ballistic HC/SG Case? Can you provide the reason also?
Thanks!
I have the Ballistic case. It's a bit bulky and weighted, however, it's a great case. I've never used the otterbox so I can't compare the two. Basically, if you want your phone protected I'd recommend it, otherwise its a turn off because it covers up such a beautiful phone. You lose the slimness and the lightness of the phone with the case.
I have both and in "my opinion" the Otterbox is by far much better fit not as bulky side buttons are easier to use and built in screen protector is better.
Thanks for the reply. The Ballistic has some bumps on the 4 corners which seem to protect the phone if ever it falls. 1987dram, does it feel big in the pockets? Also, is the silicone on the Ballistic loose and comes out at time - it seems there are small holes on the rubber case for the silicone to grip, but isn't that loose?
I have a Zagg shield on my screen, will it interfere with the Ballistic protection screen?
I have both so here is my input. If you want a case that is pocket friendly Oterbox all the way. One thing I hated about the HD case is that it would stick to my pocket when I took it out and put it in. Another thing that pushed me away from the HD case is that stuff would always get inside the screen protector and I would have to clean it daily. I have never had that problem with the Otterbox. So basically if your constently droping your phone go with HD, but you almost always have to use the holster because it is NOT pocket friendly.
Edit: Forgot something.
On the HD case the little holes only get loose around the corners. The Otterbox has a ridge design that goes all around the case preventing that. You would also have to take the screen protector off your phone or the screen protector off the case or you will get water marks.
Link to the place I bought my Otterbox.

otter box or ballistic
I also have both and I ended up selling the ballistic case. The fit and finish on the the otterbox is better the ballistic case ( the outside wrap) If you take your phone out more than 2 stretches the case. And because of the button parts I had to trim the rubber inside for the volume rocker. Just my .02 cents.
Thanks for everyone's input! I'm going for the Otterbox since it seems to offer better protection and is more appealing to look at.
not the ballistic case
it fits loosely and the buttons don't line up very well
otterbox is quality
I have the Ballistics case and have tried the otter box. I have the Ballistic with clip just because the phone is too big to put in my pocket. I dont know you some of you got a bad case or i just got lucky, I take my case apart to clean every weekend, I have no problems with the rubber stretching or coming out of the holes, if I want to put in pocket I can take the rubber off. The under case is plastic with no rubber, so sticking in my pocket is no problem. I know the cheaper version of the case has rubber with plastic around it but not on the corners. I dropped my infuse 10ft off ladder onto concrete, no damage to case or phone, bet you cant say that with the otter box. I use a screen protecter on my phone also, no bubble issue either. No button issues. I say Ballistics case all the way, but that my opinion.
The otterbox is the way to go I have had the balistic and the diffender and the defender is the way to go IMOP

1 question again, which hard rubber case is made up of higher quality material : Ballistic HC or Otterbox?
Otterbox difenter has the better build quality.

new egg has the otterbox defender for 31 with free shipping.
I had an Otterbox for a year on my HTC Evo and loved it. This time around I went with the Ballistic HC case because it's two cases in one. You can leave the big rubber on for super protection or off so it's smaller and slick looking.
I love my Ballistic HC case and I wouldn't trade it for any other case on the market. The material it's made of it better than what Otterbox uses. The rubber is much nicer IMO.
I paid $50 for it on Amazon. (I opted for the next day air shipping because I'm impatient) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005BTBGEO

BALLISTIC ALL THE WAY!
Returned three Ballistic cases due to poor button alignment.
Used/use BodyGlove soft gel with Platinum holster most often, but did purchase Otterbox Defender finally when it came out from Buy.com for $27.99.
Otterbox fit is perfect like four previous models I've own/own, but for some reason the screen cover seems to be more succeptible to scratches than earlier units.
Called Ballistic CS about button alignment and they acknowledged issue with some batches, but would only tell me to "try again" by returning to store.
Call Otterbox about problem and they'll send entire replacement with no questions.
Thank you ...........ز

Both are good, But i found Otterbox is good and much effective compared to ballistic cases. Check this out, I bought one Otterbox Cases from sfplanet.com where i got 30% savings in its original price by using the coupon code "OTT30OFF" and free shipping also!
I have the ballistic case and do not like it. It seems to nearly double the size of the phone and the front plastic window distorts the screen. Additionally the rubber outer sleeve does not fit well and comes loose in places. Also it makes the side buttons nearly impossible to use. Hope this helps.
I really like the Ballistic. Saved my phone a few times.
But as was stated, it's hard to use the side buttons. What I did was slip a real thin piece of cardboard between the rubber power button and the Infuse's power button. Now all the buttons work perfectly. You may have to adjust the position of the cardboard.
I'm planning my escape from the digital world!
This is a case I got from eBay, its a Hard Hybrid Case. Brand is Mybat which is a probably a generic case maker from China .
Where to get it:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360559673384&refid=store
If you want to see the other cases they have, check here:
http://www.auctiva.com/stores/viewstore2.aspx?id=1621556&page=home&search=nexus 4
This one in particular is called: LG Nexus 4 E960 Hard Hybrid Case Black/ Black Cover Frosted Fusion Mb
I give it about:
8.5/10 -- Material - Surprisingly feels good, kinda like the Diztronic
9.0/10 -- Grip - Doesn't slide off, not bigger than the Official bumper so for you can still touch the other side of the screen with no effort.
7.5/10 -- Ease for button - There is a slight bit more spacing for the buttons and might make a slight clicking sound when pressed.
8.0/10 -- Snug fit/Hole openings - The cut outs are alright, if you don't push it in all the way it may have a slight gap.
8.0/10 -- Style/Look
7.0/10 -- Protection - The hard part of the case doesn't cover the edges but should be able to absorb some shock.
Pros: Adds decent protection, not for 500ft drops though.
Cons: The back material does attract oily hands and the top side as well as the bottom side of the soft part also attracts dust, not a biggy for me, also the top and bottom lips have that rubber band feeling but it doesnt look like its flimsy unless you pull on it.
Price/Value 8/10 - Reason why is, its a nice case and it will offer good protection for the phone, I just see it as a good case for maybe $5.95ish> range and not $10. They do have the other Hybrid Hard case with a kick stand and holster that looked pretty decent.
Overall I like it better than the S-line tpu that I got on day one lol and I feel it has more protection and I actually worry about it less than when I had the s-line (could be a bad thing?). I had the original bumper but I couldn't get use to the extra width, so for a no-name brand.. its not bad at all. They also have a lot of other designs that just came out.
Shipping was free but I ordered on a Sunday, came on a Saturday from CA to FL so yeah.. expedited shipping my ass! lol :silly:
TL;DR: good hybrid case, nothing too fancy :laugh:

The back feels nice (kinda like diztronic or the non glossy part of the s-line tpu) and I can get a firm grip without it slipping. Since the inner is the soft rubbery part it fits nicely but if you're someone who pulls the phone out of your pocket by the tip and not the screen or sides then you might pull on it too hard.
I've only used it for one full day and it feels pretty solid :good:

yeah, there are a few cases out/coming out that are a bit more rugged but this one seems to be good in style as its all black (color preference) and smooth, the double layering also provides good enough protection for regular everyday use. :good:
Nice case, but I don't think it's worth that price.
Yep agree with you. I said in the review that I would probably pay $6 at most not $10 lol too many cases that are pieces of plastic and charging a bit. I'm waiting for the other ringke but if user reviews suck I'll prolly stick to this one a little longer.

Are you still using it?
How are the buttons?
Between this and the diztronic what would you choose?
With shipping to Portugal this is about 23 dollars and the diztronic 18 dollars
Looks like a solid case. Thanks buddy
I bought this case a few weeks ago and have been using it since then and am pretty happy.
Pros:
Feels nice.
Decent drop protection.
Decent price when compared to similar cases.
Doesn't stick in my pocket like an otterbox would.
Cons:
Plastic seems to be stretching.
Doesn't fit 100%. My chrome on the top and bottom is starting to show.
The volume / power buttons seem a little off center.
Decent case for a decent price if you want a bit of protection.

Best Samsung Galaxy S4 Cover - Protective Cover - REAL REVIEW - 720p @60fpsIn this review I did an unboxing, and explained why Samsung's Protective Cover is better than Spigen's Neo Hybrid Case. Before I got this case, I thought that Spigen's Neo Hybrid was best, but after less than 1 year of usage the side cover of Neo Hybrid broke up. There were also some other problems with the Neo Hybrid case which I showed in this REAL REVIEW.

I used this case in my device but I like more the Otterbox cases in terms of durability, The Spigen is easier to put on and take of but the Otterbox are made for tougher life. I use my device to do sports and I must use a case that is hard enough and not too bold to fit in my pocket.
I like this cover a lot. It has many adventages. It fits perfectly meaning buttons corners. It has cutouts in perfect places and with right shape. The back is made of tpu harder plastic which makes it quite tesistant to drops and hits. Tje sides are made of silicone which makes it nice in touch. Only thing problematic is that the back could be more sticky to avoid sliding outta hand. The rear cutouts for camera and speaker have small raise ups to help avoid scratches on camera glass and provide the possibility to jear spealer when the phone is on its back on desk or something. The front has like 1mm stick out part ariund screen which saves hits on tje gorilla glass when you put it upside down. The cutout on back for camera has a wall of material between it and led flashlight to male it more stable and avoid bigger rocks or dirt to get to camera glass. It looks lile it
I purchased the Spigen Slim Armor View good case. but.. the sview door broke in two months
Im a big fan of the www.lowprocases.com samsung s4 case. Its slim and make my phone look bad ass. Easily get asked what phone I have. http://static1.squarespace.com/stat...e12/1425585170209/samsungs4b.jpg?format=1000w
I had this case for my old Note 2. Great case, but I don't think the TPU edges offer enough protection from drops. I rock the UAG or Speck Candyshell. Amazon has it the green one for $3.50.
Pknockle, no one cares about your sh!tty cases.
i bought one of those before but it was a very tight fit, and when I put on my wireless receiver, it made it really tight and the buttons did not align. I use a simple roocase bumper case and a UAG case now. Both work with the wireless receiver .

I have one and I haven't had any problems with it. I do notice some lines in the plastic forming near the bottom of the buttons where I can see it breaking eventually. That's only because I take it off to switch batteries a couple of times a week. The case gives the phone a very solid sturdy feel and the rubber absorbs impacts very well. I've dropped it a few times and you can hear that the impact was absorbed.
Otterbox Defender
I used Otterbox Defender for the past 2 years, got it after a week of using the flip case that i hated. Its very durable but its not with flaws, after 2 years (i have no complaints or regrets), the screen protector / plastic is too scratched i just pull it off (im using a tempered glass anyway so no problem.. The rubber jack covers and port covers gives way as well.. and recently the side rubber also rotted more and more but it looked like Rick Grimes in Walking Dead, old and seasoned... haha.. it survived heavy usage as i practically bring my phone everywhere lol and my S4 practically looked brand new because of my Otterbox.. i would really recommend Otterbox if you're looking for heavy duty cover and if you dont mind the bulky appearance.
I have this case too. Bought a Spigen thinking it'd be better but it just added unnecessary bulk and didn't feel as good.
nice case
I use Spigen cases
still prefer bumper cover.. this case makes the phone bulkier..
thanks:good:
I personally think the Speck candyshell grip is the best case for any phone out there. You can't beat it. Great aesthetics, amazing grip, very slim/light, and fits perfectly on the phone, and not to mention, a very tight fight for the phone, giving you a ton of confidence that the case won't come flying off if you drop it.
And shout out to the body glove tactic case for the s4. The only other case that comes close to the Speck grip case, and on certain days, prefer it over the candyshell. Never thought I'd find a case as good as the Speck grip case.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
I have a new candidate for best case for this phone. Body glove tactic. Less grip than the Speck, but still gives a good amount of grip, and what I love about this case is how slim it is when holding the phone. Feels almost as slim as a naked Galaxy s4 (not quite, but as close as you can get with the amount of protection you get with this case), and not as wide feeling like the spigen slim armor, or the Speck. The specks not even wide feeling, it's just that this case is so lean.

Nice case to look at, and very protective, but too wide, and doesn't have any grip.
If you want an all around great case, go for the speck candyshell grip, or the body glove tactic. Me personally, I'm done using cases. I'm not gonna sell or trade my phone at this point, so really don't care anymore if it gets a few scratches here and there. I'm still using a screen protector though, because the screen is the most important thing on the phone. Besides, I'm really careful with my phone, and probably dropped maybe 2-3x in the entire 4 years if owning this phone.

Hey guys I'm looking for a really slim case that isn't raised too much along the edges of the screen or cover too much of the sides of the device. A couple I'm looking at is the Obliq case, spigen capsule, spigen slim armor, or maybe the official Samsung protective case.
I have a tech 21 case now and it's ok but it's a bit bulky around the edges and kind of hides the shape of the phone.
I had the Tech21 case and currently have the Speigen Capsule and Samsung cases. The Tech21 was WAY too thick and bulky, and the buttons were hard to press. The Capsule is very thin, but has sharp edges IMO. I found it really uncomfortable to hold without it feeling like my hand may get cut (it never happened, but still hurt).
The Samsung case is awesome though. Fits beautifully and looks like it's a part of the phone. It protects really well too and hardly adds any thickness. I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the money 105%.

Is it thick enough that the camera isnt exposed, do you have a link to the one you are talking about ?

Yes, try Amazon.
Look up verus iron shield champagne gold galaxy note 4 review by real reviews on YouTube thy have a link in the description probably the best thin case for the note 4 in the link the have different colors also
Ringke Slim case is the slimmest one IMO by far at the expense of drop protection. The black one has a nice matte finish while the other colors are more glossy which I don't like.
It adds the least bulk and gives a bit of protection - I've dropped my phone onto hardwood floors a couple times from 3-4 feet. The case slightly deformed but the phone was perfect. However I expect any drop onto a hard surface like concrete will break the screen.
Like the previous post stated, the Ringke slim is super thin. The SF black has good grip.
I would go with the Samsung Protective cover though. a little thicker but you are drop protected and the case feels better in hand.
Ringke Slim 9.99
Samsung Protective Cover:
12.00 (Blue)
14.00 (Black)
15.00 (Red)
Thank you guys for the ideas. I really like how slim the ringke is but it makes me a little nervous. I think I'm torn between the Samsung protective case and the verus. Both look super nice although the Samsung appears to be a bit slimmer
I have a Verus Thor on mine, and I think it's pretty amazing for its slimness to protection ratio. Camera's protected, there's enough of a lip in front to protect the screen (I've got a tempered glass protector anyway), and if there's a con, it's that it fits so tight and snug that you don't want to take it off too often; I ended up buying a new dock just so I don't have to. Well, that, and it's not highly textured or rubbery, so it feels a little smoother in the hand than I see a lot of people liking. Fell out twice at work a few days ago--once onto concrete, once onto steel car wash railings--and it still looks pristine. I highly recommend it.

If by "thick enough that the camera isnt exposed," you mean that when you rest the phone on a table, the camera lens isnt resting directly on the flat surface, then yes. There is a lip around the camera lens that will keep it from touching any flat surface.
i want it too

Well after reading the comments from you guys I decided to pull the trigger on the blue Samsung protective cover. Seems like it offers good protection and a very slim form factor. I'll post some pics once it comes in the mail
That Samsung one looks nice. There is a great review on it from a guy named lawmanfj on youtube. I'll probably grab that one down the road. I just purchased the S-View case, and I really like it. It is a flip case, but it doesn't add much bulk. Seems like the drop protection might not be the best, but since it replaces your back battery cover, it's stay's slim. It does run about $26 through Amazon. I picked one up at Best Buy for a few bucks more, but got to try it out before purchasing.
You should post some pics when your case comes in, and give a review of it.
Does anyone know if there is a case like the Samsung Protective Cover, but replaces the battery door to make it slimmer? Basically i would like to find something with some protection around the edges, and a lip for the screen, but without adding to the thickness of the phone.
