What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S6?

Looks nice, good price. 3 questions:

1) Are the buttons completely exposed? Hard to tell from the pics... I prefer cases that don't have anything over buttons.
2) do you get any adhesion showing on the back? (looks like bubbling if back of phone contacts back of case)
3) how difficult to put on and off?

Thanks for sharing!

Great questions for any case.

1. Buttons are covered and very tactile. Slightly raised so you can feel them. Satisfying to push (actually easier than without them IMO). The volume up and down buttons are separated to which I like.

2. The reason I got this was because the clear Insignia case I got from best buy had the bubbles, this one is perfectly clear with no bubbles. It's a hard back whereas the insignia was soft, rubbery.

3. Very easy to put on and take off, but the case fits perfectly and is snug. It's not loose at all.

4. You didn't ask, but I wanted to mention that there's little tiny "feet" on each corner of the back which raises the whole phone ever so slightly so that the camera bulge doesn't touch surfaces.

Great summary, thanks for the info! That mention about the camera protection is also important to me, so I'm glad you included it.

You're welcome! I know how it is when you're picky about cases

Nothing wrong with being picky when it comes to protecting your device.

Agreed! Or sexifying it lol.

i have the Enther version of this case, also off amazon. they appear to be very similar, including the tiny feet on the back edge to lift the case to protect the camera. search Enther on amazon, same price 9.99

Does anyone know if Mophie has brought out a charger case for the S6? I have one for my iPhone six plus and love it

Mophie Juicepacks. Haven't had the need for one as battery life is way more than adequate to get through a day but that depends upon degree of use and device setup. Don't have time to spend several hours of screen on time (SoT).

The new iPhone ones are very good quality, got my wife one for her iPhone 6, she loves it.

I'd also like one for my galaxy s6 just for when traveling or in areas with bad signal that still drain battery.
, but I definitely don't need it for daily use.

My understanding is they should be coming out later this month.

Thank you. I hope you are right. I use the mophie case with my iPhone six plus almost daily. As a very heavy user (I pretty much live on my phone) it is one of the best things I've ever used lmao

My wife agrees. She has bad signal at work and she doesn't understand the concept of optimizing settings to save battery (she keeps her brightness at full...), so these cases are a godsend for her.

I'm hooked on the Citron Green & Black Commuter.

How heavy is it?

Liked the other one better.

The Otterbox Commuter and Defender add a little weight giving them a very solid feel in the hand.

 

[Stitchfame]

That's why I am asking how heavy, coz you are trying to convince me(and you might succeed!) but something like "giving a strong feel" is purely subjective, not objective at all. If I just want a "strong feel" I just buy a brick and put my phone inside it ^^

When I did my YouTube review, I didn't exactly weigh the device after installing the Defender but it is enough that you will notice but not enough to make it feel like a brick.
