Wife has same issue with her S4's Body Glove ToughSuit case. Leaves a rainbow-like shimmer wherever the protector sticks to the actual screen. So I just ordered a genuine Samsung case yesterday and some screen protectors.The problem with the Beetle Pro type screen protector is it leaves large areas of the protector stuck to the screen from finger pressure and the only way to resolve the issue is to take the phone out of the case but that's a waste of time because they immediately reappear from usage.
two questions:
1: i see a lot of people talking about going naked - i'd like some input from someone who has gone an extended period without a screen protector. how do the screens hold up? i have my phone in the same pocket as keys (i carry extra for work, janitor style) all the time and my protectors get scratched up - i end up changing them out every couple months. i imagine i'm stuck with screen protectors. also, how are they with fingerprints? better or worse?
get my phone tomorrow, can't even wait.
I've never owned their Maxx products, so I can't comment on the holster, but my S3 case is two layers. First a thick, but not otterbox thick, rubber skin with excellent corner, side, and back protection. Then a hard, textured, exo-skeleton (thin) that provides and additional layer of protection. I've dropped it on the front, back, sides, and corners in the past...and yes, usually on concrete. Not a scratch or break. Fits in my pocket comfortably.
I have wondered if the company was purchased since my old case. The website seems a little "poorly worded" at places and they changed the marketing names of the cases from SG (shell gel or something like that) to Tough Jacket. As long as the N4 case is the same quality as my S3, it will be a winner for the "medium thick excellent protection" case genre.
*Update* FYI the TJM for the iPhone 6 plus on amazon states holster is included. It is sold by Ballistic. I would assume it would be the same for the N4
Wow, after reviewing 500+ posts, I've seen a lot of good suggestions -- enough to make a comparison spreadsheet that lists all of the contenders.

I haven't selected a winner, yet. I currently have a Body Glove DropSuit on my S3 as well as my previous LG Optimus S. The manufacturer claims "antimicrobial protection" which is a selling point to me (if it actually does anything). There's a DropSuit for the Note 3, but only a Satin Case available for the Note 4 at this time.
That said, while I do prefer the appearance of the slim cases, a Note 4 is EXPENSIVE to replace and so I am going towards something rugged that can withstand drops. I've never dropped my S3, but the Note 4 is larger and heavier, so I don't want to take that risk. Leaning towards the UAG and Ballistic at this time. For now, I have a basic black $2.99 TPU case from eForcity on eBay.
Update: Body Glove Mobile responded to my inquiry and said that the only cases for the Note 4 currently in development are the Satin (as stated above) and the Intermix.
To each their own. I have the tough armor and love it.Yes I have it on my Note 4 right now and it has zero grip on the back, completely slippery. I searched to replace it the moment I put it on. I already ordered a ballistic tough jacket because it appears to have serious grip on the back. I need grip for this huge *** phone + small hands.
Here are some more pictures of the Verus Thor case.

No kidding! Even the few you do find at a store are boxed up like a vault.
Wish there was a store with all these cases present so we can actually hold it in person. Would make our decision so much easier

I'm loving my tough armour case, but I have to admit that's one nice looking case. Love that blue color tooHere are some more pictures of the Verus Thor case. As I said in my previous post, this case rocks. I originally bought the Spigen Tough Armor case and ended up returning it because it was just too bulky and the back of the case scratches so easily. I've been using this case for almost a week now and I have no qualms recommending it. It has a very low profile so it fits easily in your pockets. The hour glass shape of the case fits perfectly in your hand, the buttons have just the right amount of responsiveness and the black rubber sides of the case give it just the right amount of grip so it won't slip out of your hand. To me, it just blows the Spigen Tough Armour case away.

I just ordered the hot pink one tonight... I think its my fave one that I have seen so far. Do you like yours? I didn't want a bulky phone, I like them slim but with protection.
