The defender definitely is beefy but it sure does it's job! I had one on my S3 and I actually ran over my phone with a fork lift at work. The only damage was the case cracked in the corners but the phone was fine. I thought about getting one for the Note 4 but the silicone stretching out on the S3 case was a big turn off for me. Not sure if they've fixed that issue or not but I'm gonna stick with the UAG Maverick. Love this case!
I have the speck grip case and it's pretty awesome. Not the best looking, so I take it off in business meetings. I've also cut the rubber off by the home buttom/USB connector so the fingerprint reader works better.

I don't know about the stretching over a period of time, but I can see how that's possible. This one I'll be keeping/using when I'll be out and about as in hiking/camping or some other "rugged" outdoor activities.
I bought a Spigen Capsule but I'm thinking I might return it. There were some reports of the metal being scratched, and I noticed a couple of very small ones on mine already. Don't want to make it worse 😰
Might get a Neo Hybrid
There seems to be some weight to this slim case but certainly by no means not "cheapy" feeling. In my opinion this Tech21 Classic Mesh appears and feels like it has authority over the SGN.IV. I like this one. This was the only color on the rack/shelf and I was thinking that the purple and orange would go nicely with the white. Besides, purple is UW's color.
I hope I can get used to it. I haven't used a flip case for an extended period time ever. I usually give up on them in a few days. We will see what happens with this one.
Note in my house!
I was the same way when I decided to venture over to the flip case world. Now I enjoy having them on my devices especially the note 4.
Just bought my Neo Hybrid. Should be here in a couple of days...going to go case-less for now. Damn Spigen Capsule already scratched the chamfered edges
I just received my official Samsung protective case. It is probably the best case I've had so far. Perfect balance of form and protection. I wish I bought this back in September.
This Tech21 Classic Shell Wallet is a well designed and built cover for the SGN.IV and quite slim for what it is. The stand is a nice feature. The wallet is textured enough that I don't "feel" it as being slippery. No problem manipulating the PWR/Rocker buttons are tactile and positive . The Clasp is firmly put, is made of plastic and the securing end is "rubber" like. Inside is smooth to the touch. The outer edges are finely polished, albeit too shiny for my tastes, as I can see how this will get all fingerprinted and/or scuffed/scratched up soon enough. But that's a day in the life of a cell phone cover. A tad bit pricey to I must say.
