Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Cases

[Android Curious]

They are asking for people to review the new "Revolution series" for the SGN5. It seems to have the protection of an Otterbox...

What's up with the strange keychain-loop thing on that case?

I guessing so that you can attach it to your jeans, or something. If you noticed the image, it is as if it is geared for rugged use...

I think it will be good. I've always used thin cases with no issues, and im always outdoors etc. Never broke a display or anything along those lines before .

I find myself regularly switching between the:

- Verus High Pro-Shield (Electric Blue)

- Verus Verge (Military Green)

- Ringke SLIM (Black)


Today I am rocking the SLIM... I still love how minimalistic the case is... After using the other cases that add a little bit of width and thickness to the Note 5, it is refreshing to shed that extra size with the SLIM (but as discussed in the past, it comes at the cost of less/no drop protection)...

 

[Android Curious]

How would you rate the Verus High Pro at drop protection?

 

[MikeekiM]

I would say really good... It's a good compromise between protection and size...

It has enough of a screen lip to protect the screen from a straight-up face plant drop on the screen...and there's enough corner protection to handle most minor drops...

Admittedly, it is not the protection that a Otterbox provides...but it also doesn't have the size of an Otterbox...

Anyone have or know of a good wallet case, but not the folio type, just need it to be a typical open faced case, but with card slots on back of phone..

lespaul, while shopping for cases I saw this one on Amazon. It's leather.

I'm using this case today... No kickstand... I like the wraparound faux leather on this one... It gets a lot of stares in business meetings...very classic look...

The Ringke Slim looks good. Is that the Ringke case that has the usb port cover, and the 3.5mm phonejack covers? How is the fit around the s-pen slot, any problems? Thanks.

 

[MikeekiM]

No...no usb cover, no phonejack covers... The s-pen slot is fine...but due to the minimalist design, one could argue that it is a little exposed if dropped on that corner...

Honestly, I hated the case when I first got it... I opened the package and was shocked at how flimsy and minimal it was... And after using it a while, I realized that the flimsy/minimal design was the whole point of the case...

I don't have my phone in that case today...if you want me to take photos from different angles, let me know...

Thanks, but that won't be necessary. The case that i was looking for, is the Ringke Fusion Black. Thanks again, for your feedback.

I have the Ghostek case. I like it, except the charger and head phone openings only fit the cords that came with the phone. I have quick chargers in my car and office, but they use cords that are similar the the Note 4, not Note 5. As a result, I'm looking for a new case - can anyone recommend a slim case with charger/headphone openings that fit more options than just the oem Note 5? Thanks!

Spigen insists on putting "Auto Focus" near the camera. Why? I haven't had a phone without auto focus since my Blackberry 8310. Might as well put "cellular" or "digital" on there too.

This absolutely drives me nuts with the Spigen cases. I went to a Verus High Pro Shield this time around and noticed that Verus has substituted the word "megapixel" for "auto focus".

To me this screams no name, cheap mall kiosk cell case.

Other than that, I love the Verus case.

They were supposed to correct this with their later "updated version" of the case. Do you have an original or the updated one?

I don't get it. Do you mean it's printed on the case? By the way, this Verus case is on sale right now on Amazon so I ordered the blue one. I don't even have the phone yet, but what the heck.

Not printed, molded into the case. Just like Spigen does.

Any issue with the Verus USB or audio input openings not allowing for 3rd party or Note 4 cords?

I ordered it after it was supposed to be fixed? I'll contact them. I like the case, otherwise. Thanks!

Where did you buy that Tumi case? I see a black version sold at Verizon but can't find that gray. Don't see it on the Tumi website either.

Thanks.

My Note 4 OEM charging cable fits just fine and I have some random 3rd party USB to micro USB cord I use with my vehicle charger and that too fits just fine. Every pair of headphones/earbuds I own that have a 1/8" plug also fit with no issues.
