Best Galaxy S5 Cases

[LMychajluk]

Hey, guys... I was looking at a Spigen Hybrid, but ended up ordering the Slim Armor because it appeared to have better protection at the corners ('Elite protection', as per Spigen's site). The Hybrid was a couple of bucks more. Was I wrong? Is the Hybrid the better case? I'm having second thoughts and may like the styling of the Hybrid better, but don't want to compromise that shock absorption at the corners (which I think is a weak spot of the Gorilla Glass). Thanks!

They are thin, and definitely grippy, but not too grippy. Hard to explain. For $10, you cant go wrong.

I was browsing Amazon for S5 cases and found a nice dual layer case. Looks like UAG case but its dual layer which I tend to favor for my cases. Anyone have any experience with this brand?? The price is nice!!

I'm forever looking for a case... I need something super slim. I don't like armor or dual layer. I'll probably just get a Cimo or Diztronic or Cruzerlite. Ringke SLIM looks ok.. Or I might go naked this time. *sigh*

This is a nice case because its clear and it shows the phone off.

I'll want this but I'm holding out for a Black or Blue colored case. I'm not sure I want clear with such a weird design. Come on Samsung!

I ended up with the incipio dual pro in purple. It arrived yesterday (same day I got my phone). Seems like a pretty solid case but I think the inside color (white) will end up showing some wear.

Thats cool but I'm wary about clear cases. Do they get dirty and/or start browning/staining with time as most clear acrylics do?? Also, it doesn't look like its impact resistant. I need that since I'm prone to mysteriously hurling my device when I'm in the gym. Don't ask me why, lol!!

Nice! I believe Acase's case will look similar but at a much lower price point.

I used an Acase on my S3 and loved it. If Acase had released right away that's what I would have gone with.

I just re-purchased one for my current S3 since the first one was beat up from the numerous drops I've had with it. Such a good case for a great price! I know people complained about paint chipping away toward the end and it did happen with mine but it still protected my phone regardless. The paint chipping was hardly a factor for me considering the protection and value the product provided.

I saw the flip cover at Best Buy this morning and like it... does it offer much protection though in case you drop it? I also like slim cases.... don't do the bulky ones. Because the S5 is supposed to be waterproof etc... I am skipping the Lifeproof case this time.. however I love that case because it is slim.

I always go Otterbox defender. Sure it adds bulk but my phone stays pretty. & i can be clumsy sometimes

Using Otterbox defender for now. Otterbox definitely stepped up this go round because this Defender is great because it's serious protection and doesn't seem as thick as some of the other defenders.

The Otterbox Commuter feels great in my hands. I need the protection because my phones can't seem to stay in my hands.

Here is another good flip view case for Galaxy S5 : The original Skinplayer Trenther View Flip Case for Galaxy S5 features unique function like portable mirror, window view cover and easy answer calls.
You can check caller?s number on the mirror window. You don?t need to flip open the cover to answer incoming calls. When you have an incoming call, the caller?s number will be seen through the mirror window of the Trentherview Flip Cover. Thanks to high light transmission, you can easily check time and other information when your device screen is on.
