I have the Active case with the holster and I am happy with it. It is definitely more grippy than the the phone without a case, but not quite as grippy as I thought it would be. But the phone does feel secure in that case and I no longer feel like I have to handle it like a raw egg in fear of scratching anything on it. The kickstand works great, and the magnet keeps it securely in place until needed. The magnet causes no issues with the screen or the s pen at all. Good case, a bit pricey but it's quality materials. The kickstand in that Amzer case looks like it's made out of some chinsy plastic, I much prefer the look of the Seidio Active case.
