I have Verizon so I'm not counting on having the chance to get it. If they do release Samsung Pay for VZW I will just go for the charger.

These are some wild colors with pearl like flakes in the finish.

Just got the bumper case from eBay. It fits OK, needs to be a little tighter. But I do like it, it protects the edges of the phone. Leaves the back clear, which also helps with the wireless charging.
Not bad for $3 from eBay...

Just took delivery of Caseology's Vault case for my Note 5... Cost me $6.47 shipped after the online coupon offer that was offered last week...

Hmm.. I've been browsing this thread a little (still not done yet) and I am compelled to order an extra case myself. I mean, realistically, I don't see myself changing cases very often but... since I can't get the gold phone I wanted, I think I need extra goldish cases.

The sides of the case have a slight rubbery feel to them (versus the hard plastic feel of some cases)... I wouldn't call the phone slippery at all...but I would also say that I have owned cases (most notably the Speck cases) that have rubber accents around the phone that make it a lot "grippier" than this phone...
That said, I think this is currently my "go to" case at this point... Not a lot of bulk, seems like it has nice cushion for drops, good lip around the screen...
If I am looking for something COMPLETELY minimal, I would still go to the Ringke SLIM, as it adds almost zero bulk...but if I want to protect my phone, this Caseology Vault case is fantastic...

I had it on my Note 4, and it may be the best case I've ever used. Great fit and feel, but, it's bigger than I want now. I have the Spigen transparent ultra thin case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MWEUII?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage) and have gotten used to a super-thin case, and am really liking it.
My son has the smaller version of this one for his Galaxy S5, and he says that the black ribs make the phone very "grippy"...
He demonstrated by laying his phone on the palm of his hand and slowly turning his palm vertical, and the phone held quite impressively...it definitely is not a slippery case!

Grippy seems like a good idea. I found another one! I threw it in my cart since it's only $10 bucks.

I have it for the note 5, had it for the note 3 and 4. Love the grip and it saved my phones from all types of drops. It's not the best looking case though. I have had not black and white. I like the black inside rubber of the white because it's less distracting than the grey inner rubber on the black version when looking at the screen. But the white is way too loud of a color when in a business meeting. It looks cheap to me. The black is nice and more discrete, but the grey is distracting. I've put it away in favor of the spigen slim armor for now because that case looks more professional, but so much slippery-er.
I'd like to sind something between the two. Nice looking, discrete, but has grip and protection. Any recs?

Best case thus far, is a Verus High Pro case. Very form fitting and slim. In my opinion...
I agree I got it for 3.99 but it's worth full price,I also bought the verge verus case at a discounted price but the high pro shield has more grip and feels really thin compared to the verge case .

I got my note 5 last week and have a Zagg glass screen protector which installed great. I have purchased 4 cases. I got the Best Buy Insignia clear soft shell when I got the phone. It looks terrible (the camera cut out is crooked) and only fit OK as its kind of squishy at the sides. Its going back. Then I ordered 3 Spigen cases from Amazon. The Thin Fit, the Neo Hybrid Carbon in metal slate, and the Rugged Capsule.
The Neo Hybrid looked the best with the carbon fiber look and the metal slate matched the color of the black sapphire pretty well. But, it added quite a bit of bulk (82mm width from the phone's 77mm) and it did not fit snug on the sides. When I would hold the phone in my hand the case would start pulling up the glass screen protector. Its going back.
The Rugged Capsule was a flexible TPU that fit pretty well, much better than the Insignia case. It did not remove the screen protector when using, but I just didn't think it would give me much drop or even bang protection. Its going back.
The Thin Fit is the one I ended up choosing. It snaps in place and does not move once it is on the phone. I have had similar thin fit type cases (Incipio and Poetic) on previous phones and really liked them. The Poetic protected my G2 from its only major fall onto asphalt while getting out of car allowing just a few scratches on the corner but no broken glass. The Spigen Thin Fit has cut outs to allow the use of the Note 5's actual buttons and the camera cut out has just enough of a lip so that it doesn't allow the camera lens to touch the surface when you set the phone down. The case does not add much bulk or weight and has good grip, unlike the Neo Hybrid which was slippery plastic on the sides, so I feel confident when I grab the phone.
Thank you to everyone on this forum for your info on the cases and screen protectors as it helped me make my decisions much easier. I wanted to share my experience as well.
