Case Recommendations for the S5?

[Pneeleysmom]

I want a case that will give me coverage for drops, but nothing too bulky. I want the lifeproof, but it isn't available yet. Any suggestions in the meantime? I'm bad about dropping phones.......on their faces......

My husband got the otter box defender. He's pleased with it.

I have a body glove shock suit. I have dropped my phone on the back side and the case helped. Not sure how it will help the front though.

I like the protection of the Otter, but not the bulk!

I have this one in a different color, but I love it:

Samsung Galaxy S5 Hard-Shell Case with Impact Absorbing Core | Incipio DualPro | Incipio

It's much slimmer than the life proof, but won't give you the same level of protection. I have a tempered screen protector on my device with the above case, and it seems like it's solid.

They have a comutter case by otter box that works just as well.its not bulky like the defender.

Just picked up the Speck Candyshell a few minutes ago. Highly recommend it.

I have the OtterBox Defender. I don't mind the little bit of bulk as it let's me know I am holding something.

UAG cases are by far the best cases I have ever owned.

Spigen or Seidio. I usually scope Amazon out first.

This year's otterboxes are not as bulky as previous generations. I'm holding one with my M8 right now.

I like my Spigen Slim Armor, I got the blue and now I don't have to buy a blue back for my Black S5.

I got this one too and I've dropped it from ear height twice and the phone is fine.

I can heartily recommend this one, it is Military Grade yet very small profile and my Qi Wireless charger works with it.

* Speck CandyShell Grip- Black/Slate:


I am using the above case with the below Qi charger. The neat thing about this el cheapo wireless charger is it comes WITH the charging pad.

* Qi Standard Wireless Charger kit 'mine' for $18.99

Seidio convert for me. 2 cases in 1 depending on the situation and how much protection you want at the time.

If I'm not mistaken my wife has a LifeProof case.

I love my UAG case! Keeps the phone thin with no bulk but protects the phone perfectly!

I went to a local mall (pacific mall) and got a tpu case for $5, its very thin and looks very nice. You don't need these brand name cases that are 4x overpriced.

look for a tempered glass screen protector. I got one for my S5 from Amazon for ~$9, made by a company called Luvvitt it think.

I use the Spigen Slimarmor
