What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S6?

[Blues Fan]

I looked at the Incipio Duopro, shine today at Sams and it looks like a better version of a Otterbox Commuter however my turn off to it is that the camera cut out area is not very deep unlike a commuter, Otterbox Defender so if you drop the phone on an uneven surface that might be an issue.

Here's my new Lifeproof case. Works great with any case or screen protector already installed on the phone and the touch sensitivity is fantastic.
Just in case I mess this one up, I have a box of 1000 more out in the garage.

What's hilarious is how well this actually works. I went through an Ingress phase when Ingress was first released, and I'd be out in the rain and snow with my phone in a ziplock. It works perfectly.

Been to Costco or SAMs lately?

Was in Best Buy today and was so tempted to purchase the Lifeproof but left empty handed. I even have a $10.00 off and a 10% off coupon that I could have used.

Loving mine so far!

Will the Lifeproof still work if you have a Zagg Glass already on the phone?

 

[tpence2177]

I doubt it. Mine fits right on the screen and has no play in it at all

The "Lifeproof" case in the picture is a ziplock bag. To really protect the phone, put that one, zipper-side first, into another one and zip it shut too. It'll work with any phone (they come in sizes up to 2 gallons), and you can put an Otterbox Defender on a huge phone and it'll still fit into a sandwich-size bag. You can even drop it into the ocean and if you can get the phone back it'll be as good as new. (Just hose the salt water off the bag first, then let it dry before you open it.)

For me, it depends upon whether I pass on the GS7 and how my Defender is holding up.

I just upgraded my S5 to the S6 last weekend, at Best Buy, got a ZAGG HDX screen protector, and the Otterbox Commuter case, love the combo, and it works great with the wireless charger, which was $59.99, day later on sale for $33.99...went back and got $20 and some change back!

My clear UAG case showed up today and it became an insta-favorite.

Great fit, wonderfully grippy surfaces, crisp and satisfying button action. Best case I've tried yet.

 

[Blues Fan]

Even if the wireless charger wasn't onsale at best Buy you can always go on Amazon and print the cheaper price off and they will price match. I do it at Best Buy all the time.

Fair point. Just a little wary about being jumped for expressing my opinion.

My preference is driven by personal experience seeing a smartphone tumble and fall onto concrete, not the smooth kind and one tumble down a couple of flights of concrete stairs. In both instances, not a scratch and the internals were protected from the shock of the fall.

Well my dad recently bought an S5 and bought one of the Best Buy brand kickstand Insignia cases and he stumbled over something in the parking lot and his phone flung out of his hand and probably flew about 5 feet hitting the pavement falling screen first! I picked it up expecting the screen to be broke and wow not a single scratch! I think it was more luck it somehow landed perfectly flat screen first on a totally smooth surface.

Is anyone rocking the Otterbox Symmetry case? They look better than the Commuter and one best buy near me is the only one to carry it. Does it still provide good drop protection? It looks good.

The Symmetry definitely would be my preference if I had a GS6E. You are still getting drop protection but as you move up toward the Defender, you are getting more layers of protection up to three with Defender.

You wouldn't trust the Symmtry like from a 4 or 5 foot drop in a parking lot?

Didn't say that. The Symmetry would be fine for drop protection to a point and should be fine for most. For me, I have the confidence of being able to survive more of a fall with a better grip and pretty slim profile with the Defender. Adding Tech Armor or Zagg tempered glass is even better.

Had the Symmetry case and it was very hard to remove the phone from this case. You need a crowbar to get the S6 out of the Symmetry case.
Like trying to remove the Note 4 from the UAG case hard.
I sold it off on eBay as I did not like it that much. I had the Gridlock version and it was slick as snot.
