Samsung Galaxy S4 Cases/Covers Thread

[bdmridgback]

Has anyone picked up one of the ifrogs (ZAGG) woodgrain cases at Sprint corporate store? Surf Series...

...or am I the only ***** that dropped $55 for one? (Discounted from the $69)!!

Beautiful case, lifetime warranty, but $69?

We'll I must have done something right today, because my new Spigen Slim Armor case just arrived!! I got the white one to go with my white S4 and so far, I like it. Case fits like a glove and the oversize volume rocker, and power buttons are great. Nice and responsive with a tactile feel.I was worried as I was initially concerned if the back was rounded "Ala like the HTC One", but it's completely flat. The TPU rubber on the top and bottom is very dense and does not add any bulk at all. Case extends about a millimeter or two over the entire top so you can place it screen-side down with no worries. I don't use a screen protector but it comes with one, a cleaning cloth / LCD cleaner, a squeegee applicator, and 3 Jelly-Bean home buttons.The only thing I wish it had was some kind of texture on the sides, as I can see it could get slippery in the hands. But it's a high-gloss, almost automotive type finish that looks great and will slip in and out of my back pocket no problem. All ports are easily accessible and overall, Very high quality. Please excuse the crappy pics as I was taking them with my iPod one-handed. If anyone's on the fence on this case, I'd recommend going for it, as it's very nice.

Yeah, I recieved this e-mail too, just a few days after I placed my order. Not too happy because I've had my phone since the 25th and after they got my cash, I get this e-mail. If it was going to take this long, I would have pre-ordered the Urban Armor Case.

I got that message last week but I received my spigen slim Armor case in the mail this morning I love it so far so good

Can anyone with the slim armor comment on the weight and bulk of the case? I had that case in the iPhone 5 version and it was both heavy and bulky. I hope they improved that for the S4.

 

[skiner5246]

I don't think it neither heavy or bulky. It really conforms to the S4's overall shape and IMO doesn't add any bulk at all. So far the only thing I've noticed is that it can get slippery due to the high gloss finish. ( But my hands sweat a lot and I live in a warm climate.) However, its not heavy at all with the case on. Hope this helps.

For some reason I really like this. I believe this one would match up nicely with my Black Mist SIV but I need to find a Mother's Day coupon or something to knock that price down.

So, the Galaxy S4 Case Neo Hybrid case will Not work with Samsung Dock?

Are there any Spigen cases which will work with the dock?

Thanks for your comments.

Spigen has come guns blazing with the S4 cases!! The best looking cases so far seem to be made by them!

With these Samsung S4 flip cover cases, does the information displayed in the window stay on all the time. That could add hurt battery life if so.

The Spigen Slim Armor does look nice, except that I don't like the glossy finish.

Here's another 2 piece case that looks decent and is cheaper:

What do you guys make of the S-View cover? I have one, but it doesn't shut properly. Is there a decent flip-cover alternative that you can recommend?

No, not all the time.

I paid ?32 for the S-View cover, quality is nice (compared to the official S3 one which fell apart at the seams), features are cool with the mini window etc - I returned it after just testing it out I didn't even give it a chance to be fair but it was because of the front flap not closing properly. The one I had for my S3 shut flat every time even from straight out the box I just wouldn't use it like that.

Has anybody DOUBLE CASED?

That is take a slim type case, and then put it in a flip open/close type case?

 

[JawjaBill]

I purchased my Incipio DualPro from an AT&T store ($35 + tax) just to have something to protect the phone while I figure out what I really want as far as a case. I went in to get the cheapest thing they had but really liked the look of the fake carbon fiber which looks even better in person. But, the silicone layer is so loose and floppy that even with the stiff Plextonium frame (per Incipio), it won't hold its shape leaving the bezel exposed where the fancy named frame isn't. This case had the makings of a winner.


Love this look:

Hate this:

Returned to AT&T store today!

Yeah I ordered the same one weeks ago, I actually ended up getting the Case Slim [Ultra Fit] on Amazon, because of how long Spigen would take. They said late April on the website .
