Samsung Galaxy S6 My Search For The Perfect Case Is Over
- And the winner is: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...cUvbUpU4358908
I was using a Spigen case (Galaxy S6 Case, SpigenĀ® [Exact-Fit] Galaxy S6 Case Slim **NEW** [Thin Fit] [Smooth Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case for Galaxy S6 (2015) - Smooth) and it was really nice. A couple of relatively minor annoyances kept me on the search for "the perfect case" however. The side/top plastic pieces made it awkward to press the volume and power buttons at times and the fit was so tight that I was terrified I'd damage the phone if I took it off. Well, the Ringke case addresses both of these concerns brilliantly and preserves the phone's slim, natural beauty. The cutouts for the buttons are absolutely perfect and allow for easy access without your fingers accidentally 'pressing' the plastic around them rather than the buttons themselves. And it manages to be snug fitting without feeling like it's welded on to the phone...perhaps because it has little stress relief cutouts at each of the corners. An absolutely brilliant ergonomic design.
Now, in fairness, if you're looking for serious protection from drops and falls this is most certainly NOT the case for you. It's minimalistic and will only protect against relatively minor scrapes and drops. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that it comes with a seemingly well designed screen protector. I don't use these things so that'll just get tossed at some point I guess but it's a nice touch for a case costing just $9.99.
Hope this helps those of you looking for a case like this.04-15-2015 07:46 AMLike 4 - Yes, I should have mentioned that. The front lip of the case does extend ever so slightly over the screen so you are protected when you lay your phone down on its face. The cutout for the camera similarly protects the lens assembly when you put the phone down on its back.Inders99 likes this.04-15-2015 07:57 AMLike 1

- Thanks, now just to decide if I want clear or black. I have the clear Samsung case now but it pretty much offers zero drop protection.04-15-2015 09:54 AMLike 0

- I tried using the phone 'naked' and I felt like I was trying hold onto to piece of melting ice. Using this phone without a case is a recipe for disaster IMO. I think you'll be thrilled with the case, especially if you want something minimalistic. Haven't found a better one yet.04-15-2015 11:04 AMLike 0
- Thanks. This looks like it is very similar to the case I have which is the Verus Two Tone Slide. The feel and fit of the case is phenomenal and it's the best I've ever had on any phone, but I do like the thought of having a clear case to show off the phones colors, so I might give this one a try. Not a huge fan of the colors on the case I have although they aren't bad. It's just the feeling of it that makes it feel strong like metal and thin that I love.04-15-2015 11:06 AMLike 0
- I was torn with either choosing that case or the Galaxy S6 Case, Spigen [METALLIZED BUTTONS] Neo Hybrid Series Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 and I gotta say that I'm pretty impressed with the one I chose as well. If something ever happens to my current case I know whats next it looks like.04-15-2015 11:14 AMLike 0

- Well i'm currently having issues getting my case from amazon. Some shipping issue. I like that this has a crystal clear version since i really like the look of my S6 i don't want to cover it up. If i don't end up getting the one i have on order i'll go for this one. Looks solid.
On a side note.... its KILLING me not having a case on this phone. I'm so scared i'm going to drop it.04-15-2015 12:17 PMLike 0 - Well i'm currently having issues getting my case from amazon.

It has dust covers over the charging port and audio jack which might get cut off, but beyond that a great case for the money. Wireless charging is working fine with the case on also, on both the Samsung charger and the Duracell powermat.04-16-2015 07:45 AMLike 0

Do you mean the Fusion Crystal View I have? If so, I'll take some pictures tonight.AlphaVictor87 and STEVESKI07 like this.04-16-2015 09:53 AMLike 2 - I'm going to give it a chance. If I didn't have wireless charging at work and home, it would already be cut off. The only place I use a wired charger is in the car, unless I'm traveling or camping, etc.
Nice and tight, not loose at all. They have a piece that sticks out that you "plug" into the port to secure it in place.
I should be able to get some picture tonight when I get home.
