If you want something that protects against drops and still feels slim I would go with the Tech 21 case. That's what I have and I'm very happy with it.

Is the Tech21 the "Evo Tactical" case? If so, does this case easily slide in and out of the front pocket? Or does the rubber "stick" and get caught on the material?I've used Tech21 before, and currently have one on my iphone... great, slim protection and good with small drops... iphone still in one piece from 3-4 foot drops lol

The video is certainly impressive. The thing that bugs me though is that there's no back to the case.I've got one of these: Rhino Shield Products for Galaxy Note 5

I get what you're saying, and it is tempting, but I use one of those A/C vent mounts in my car (this) and they require a magnet to be placed in between the backing of the case and the phone. Therefore a case without a back won't work.This allows you to leave the back of your phone fully exposed, so you don't have to cover up the beauty of the Note5!
Actually, that's what's nice about the Crash Guard!
Unless you drop your phone on a floor with gravel, or pebbles, or something that is raised, which is pretty unlikely, the back of your phone won't hit anything in a drop, because the raised edges will protect it in the unlikely event that your phone drops straight down in a perfectly flat position... highly unlikely!
Much more common, your phone will hit the ground on a corner, or on the edge of your phone.
This allows you to leave the back of your phone fully exposed, so you don't have to cover up the beauty of the Note5! (there are at least five or six videos showing either a S6 or an iPhone with a Rhinoshield crash guard being dropped repeatedly, on YouTube. Not once is the back on any of those phones damaged, that I saw, unless it's dropped from well above 11 feet!)
If you want "some" protection in the off chance your phone does fall on a gravel covered floor, get a skin for it.
This is SUCH a lightweight cover, that provides better protection then much more bulky cases!
I guess it's not for everyone, but I really like using this bumper. Easy to put in and take out of your pocket, as well.
Yeah, I agree. Again, the video for this thing is impressive -- but having a case without a back scares the heck outta me.Would you mind posting a picture of the bumper on your actual phone? the rendering they have on the site is kinda weird looking...
I bought mine from Verizon with the 25% corporate discount. I haven't seen them cheap anywhereHey guys,
What's the best price you've seen on the Tech21 "Evo Tactical" case for the Note 5?
Thanks.
Bummer, the Evo Tactical for the Note 5 is not on Verizon's website.I bought mine from Verizon with the 25% corporate discount.
