What S6 cases is everyone using?

[player22]

I'm also not a fan of cases, but I had to do something to combat the slickness of the S6, both in hand and also lying flat on a smooth surface. I ended up getting the Samsung clear protective cover and it's everything I want from a case:

1) It only attaches at the corners, so all of the sides and buttons are open.

2) Since the sides are open, it adds no extra width and only tiny amount of thickness (it's flush with the camera hump).

3) The handling of the phone improved exponentially. I can now comfortably and confidently reach all corners of the screen with my thumb. Grip is now outstanding.

4) The corner of the case juts out a bit, just enough to prevent the base of my thumb from touching the edge of the screen. This was annoying when reaching the far sides of the screen because the edge touch inhibited my thumb touch. In some apps, it actually activated stuff I didn't want.

Basically, this is the case for people who don't like cases.

I never used cases ever either. But the s6 is like holding a fish out of water without a case. So I knew I needed something. I wasnt looking for protection just something so I could hold on to the phone without it slipping out of my hand. I ordered 3 of the slimest cases I could find on amazon and after receiving them I ended up using the ringke slim. It's the thinest one and you can't even hardly tell the phone has a case . It covers sides and back and makes the phone so much better to hold in hand. I have tried lots of cases for phones in the past and always took them off with in a day because of thickness or made the phone feel funny or look ugly . But the ringke slim is the best case I have ever used for a phone . I really like it and like I said before I couldn't stand cases on my phones. It's not made for drop protection really but it's perfect if you looking for something just to cover phone so you can have good grip without adding a big ol fat ugly case that makes your phone 2 or 3 times bigger.

Yup, I've now tried about eight cases and the Ringke slim is far and away the best for all the reasons stated. Perfect fit, perfectly lined up cutouts for the phone's buttons, easy to get on and off the phone and a great texture that gives you confidence in holding this phone.

I went with Otterbox commuter and it fits really well but it does seem to have a bit less protection than previous variants.

I bought the UAG in blue for a black S6 which I don't have yet. Figured better to have the case I want ready when I do get the phone.

I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid Ex, in gold to match my gold S6. You can get it on Amazon now for $20.99. Earlier this week when I ordered mine direct from Spigen, Amazon didn't have the gold one on their site so I paid full price from Spigen...which I'm disappointed about now.

I think the case looks pretty good. It's the first case I've bought for any phone that I've had. This case is just a bumper around the rim of it; I don't think I need any protection for the screen or back. Looks good with the case and is light enough. I think it'll do the job I want, protect it from the shock of a short fall.

This is a decent case as this is what I also use.

It depends upon your perception of added dimensionality and how much cost. Spigen Urban Armor Gear looks pretty good but not a fan of the pronounced corner bumpers though that's probably where side impacts happen. The lip on the front does not seem as deep and can't tell about the camera cutout. It also is less than half the cost of the Otterbox Defender and probably competes better versus the Commuter.

Considering the front/black are glass, I like the Defender because of the deep camera cutout and the deep lip on the front as well as the uniformity of the sill one outer layer which if it gets scuffed from a fall, replacements are easy to get. In past years, if the silicone outer layer gets loose, Otterbox will generally send out a new one free. If you don't remove it often, it will probably last the time that you keep your device. The Defender is slimmer than in years past and IMO from an aesthetic pov look less bulky primarily due to the lack of corner bumpers.

Great video jcp and thank you! That definitely doesn't look as thick and bulky as I had thought.

No, actually it's not. I feel like I have a good grip on the phone.

How do you like that tech 21? It looks a little big and bulky.

Jennifer - any link or info to where you bought this?

I minimize case interference, so I went with an aluminum bumper which actually has a 3mm lip so the back doesn't touch either.

I just got my Spigen Case Slim Armor CS for the credit cards and love it. I also have both the Neo Hybrid and Neo Hybrid Metal. Quick question is there a simple way to get the Neo Hybrid case off.

You can thank Samsung and Otterbox as the GS6 itself is slimmed down and the outer layer is more dense and compact.

After trying out a dozen at BB, I ended up getting the cheap Insignia rubber Clear case which had everything I wanted in a case. It adds minimal size, yet protective, soft and "grippy" while still easily sliding in and out of my pocket, and it is clear which allows the phone to show through. Or I can slip any picture on the back if I wanted. $14

They also had colored ones, but those were more "plastic" feeling and no grip.
