What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S6?

[lutin]

I wish that one was available in the UK. I'd be all over it.

You get the red one? How do you like the colour?

Funny you should ask. I thought I ordered the black one, that was my intention, but I guess I didn't change it and ordered the Red one. I'm kind of glad I made that mistake, because I like the Red. It definitely stands out, it's a fairly bold / deep red without being obnoxious, and it's the first of the 5 cases I have that someone has commented on.

For the ladies, the gold S6 combined with the Case Mate Sheer Glam is a very nice combo.

Got a couple more cases. Speck CandyShell Grip and the Maxboost Resonance case. The Speck case is nice and slim, but it does have a rather tight fit. It also started to lift my skinomi screen protector on one side. The skinomi goes edge-to-edge so it's not exactly "case friendly". The other case I got for free with a coupon. Otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten it. It's a nice case though and the back part has a carbon fiber look.

That white/black candyshell is Hott ^^

Lifeproof Frè?

Lifeproof Frè?

I'm waiting for someone else to get one first.

I am using the white Speck Candyshell grip as well with a Zagg screen protector. I love it. I bought a Spigen slim armour first, but I didnt like the feel of it. The Speck is a little thinner and it offers a better grip too.

Definitely a nice case. I think I still prefer the UAG line though. I just installed my Slickwraps skin though so I think I may have to push the CandyShell to the side since I'm sure it would start to lift the wrap :-\

Is the UAG thinner then the Candyshell?

Is the UAG thinner then the Candyshell?

I would say they're pretty much the same thickness. I actually ended up returning my UAG case a while back since I didn't like the combination of the Ash with the white S6. Even before I ordered it, I had a feeling I wouldn't like the combination, but I took a chance anyways. I'll probably be ordering the Navigator or Maverick pretty soon since it feels a bit odd not having a UAG case.

You can't beat the white (Navigator) UAG and white phone combo, one of my favorites.



White UAG and Black S6 not bad either.

Ok guys. Forgive me first because I'm posting this without pictures but I don't have a camera available right now. I just got home from work and my Lifeproof Fre was here waiting for me. Water test done and passed. Phone cleaned and installed with no issues.
1. Screen sensitivity- very good, seems to be literally right against phones screen. No Oil slick at this time.
2. IR Blaster works perfectly, tested on my TV, Blueray player, and soundbar.
3.Fingerprint scanner- worked perfectly, didn't have to redo any of my prints.
4. Volume and power buttons- work well Not a tactile type feel but still very good.
5. Camera- no problems works just like without a case.
6. Heart Rate sensor- works fine.
7. Wireless charging- works like it's supposed to.
8. Phone calls- Can hear who you are calling pretty well ( mind you I have tenitus or how you spell it and I heard several people just fine, Everyone I called could hear me as well with no complaints at all hearing me.
9. Speaker- thus far the only place I can find a possible flaw, now I don't have a decibel meter but, I can detect a difference in the volume. It's lower, still clear but not as loud, at this point I don't know if thiis will be a deal breaker for me or not, right now I think not.
10. Feel- I actually like the way the case feels in hand, decent grip, of course no a Speck Candyshell Grip but still pretty good. Not a very thick case, but you know you have it on. Not for someone who is a case minimalist.
Overall at this point I like the case, but I'm still debating the value at the price point and if the somewhat lower speaker volume is going to bother me. Anyway at this juncture that is where I stand with the case. Hopefully I'll be able to provide a few pictures tomorrow.

Can't wait to see the pictures. How does it compare to the Otterbox cases? Does it have a solid premium feel?

What's over the home button? Thin clear tape?

I received this on Friday and used it all weekend. I have 5 cases for the S6 now, and this one is my favorite. If you're into "less is more" when it comes to cases, this is a good option. Sure, drop protection is sacrificed, but otherwise I love this case.

I have the Bomea case in black. I love it! I just don't like the logo on back. Is this the thinnest case that's not a TPU case?

Ok jcp007 I'm not going to tell you it's going to replace your Otterbox because I know you truly like it. I have a defender as well. I still like mine, as I said in the review I like the feel of the lifeproof, it's different from the defender. In my opinion it feels nice, and has a solid feel, Doesn't give you a worrisome feeling if you drop it.

felloffthetruck it's not like having a piece of scotch tape over the home button. It's just a bit thinner than the rest of the screeen protector.

Have a food day folks I have to work.

Reviewed your feedback and maybe I missed something. Why the adapter for the headphone jack?

They have always done that. It's so you can plug headphones in and it still be waterproof, and it's usually too narrow and deep of an opening to get most headphones in there so you have to use it to use headphones generally
