What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S6?

[wk123]

Looking fwd to seeing your phone in both of these!

I have 2 cases that should arrive in the mail from Amazon tomorrow. I'm hoping that they'll compliment my white S6:

Spigen Galaxy S6 Case Ultra Hybrid (Color: Space Crystal)
I decided to go with the darker bumper color as I want to avoid the apparent yellowing that happens to the fully clear one. The bumper part is the only part that's TPU, so I should be good (as the back is still clear, but different material).

Rearth Ringke Slim for Galaxy S6 (Crystal Clear)
I went with the fully clear, since this case does not have TPU that may go yellow.

Why did I go with 2 clear cases? Indecision, haha. I wanted the slimness of the Ringke, but I wanted the protection of the Spigen. When I factored in that purchases of more than $25 didn't have shipping fees, I figured it was worth adding a couple bucks and getting both.

Otterbox did a much better job with the silicone layer integrity.

The saggy and loose rubber was made in the USA, the China & Mexico rubber are much tighter.

5$ on aliexpress, but quality isn't that good and won't let you wireless charge

Picked up this as an impulse buy at my local CarPhoneWarehouse store. tech21 ultra thin.

Quite like it..

I was at Sams today looking at the Commuter since they're the cheapest you can find around in the stores even after price matching Amazon at Best Buy and noticed the S6 Defender blue was only $40 and I LOVE the color and decided to buy it instead. I notice on this one the material seems more sturdy than on my black S6 Defender I bought back in April with the phone. Maybe just because it's new and my other S6 Defender just wore over time maybe. So far it's not creaking loose like the other one. A lot of people report their Otterboxes creak over time because the plastic tabs will come loose a bit if you keep removing the screen protector a lot.

I plan on keeping the plastic protector on this one because I don't want to take any chance of ruining it by taking it off. So we will see if this one creaks over time. Not really a huge deal because the silicon still holds it together any ways.

The Commuter case after looking at it more just doesn't seem as sturdy as past ones. They use less plastic molding on the sides hence why some complaints of the silicone coming loose on the sides.

Cool blue Defender. I'm going to check out the Speck Mightyshell next time I'm near a Best Buy.

It looks sturdy but I've seen a couple comments about how the soft material comes unglued eventually.

As mentioned, I ordered the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and the Rearth Ringke Slim.

I've had a chance to take some photos and write up a very quick review, but I didn't want to dump all the pics here, so they have their own posts. The pics were too big to fit all in one post, so I had to do 2 separate posts.

After trial and error with a few disappointments I've ordered the clear UAG which should fit the bill once and for all.

Anyone else tried the lifeproof? Still waiting to find one in store to see how it is before I buy it.

Just got the life proof case and so far I like it a lot. Screen protector is much better than the old fre thinner than the otter box and the screen protector has much more clarity to me than the otter box! Will give more impressions after a few weeks.

Enjoy. We'll be waiting.

Only downside I have seen so far is that it didn't come with the adapter for the headphones. All of my other lifeproof cases have. I emailed them to see what was up with that.

I'd follow up because all the videos show one.
