Which Spigen Case?

[PsychDoc]

This? Amazon.com: Spigen? [+Screen Shield] Samsung Galaxy S5 Case Slim **NEW Release** [Ultra Fit] [Electric Blue] Full HD *Japanese* Screen Protector + Premium Matte Hard Case for Galaxy S5 / Galaxy SV / Galaxy S V (2014) - ECO-Friendly Packaging - Electr

But the price makes me wonder how good it can be.

Or this? Amazon.com: Spigen? [METALLIZED BUTTONS] Samsung Galaxy S5 Case Protective [Neo Hybrid] [Metal Slate] Bumper Case Slim Fit Dual Protection Cover for Galaxy S5 / Galaxy SV / Galaxy S V (2014) - Metal Slate (SGP10774): Cell Phones & Accessories

I'm looking for something as minimalistic as possible which will still provide me a bit of protection and keep the screen off a surface if I put the phone face down.

Thoughts/recommendations???

TIA

I bought the second one in metallic blue.

I have the ultra ft (first one) in white and really like it. It's very thin, adding little bulk, and looks good too. Definitely won't provide the same level of protection as other cases, but I'm pretty careful with my phones so it should be enough to prevent normal wear and tear.

I bought 4 or 5 Neo's for my S4 and really liked them - the only drawback to the Neo (at least for the S4) is I could only get the OEM charging plug end to fit with the case. Maybe they have changed it up on the S5 version.

I really like Spigen cases and have used them since the S3. These are the ones I have:

So did I, it looks good with my white phone.

I bought the first one in white for my black phone. Although it looks good, feels good, and provides protection its hard to reach the side volume and power buttons with the case on the phone

I like the second one, it makes it look flatter....

Definitely the Air Cushion. Very simple but works great.

I got the top one (Spigen Ultra Fit) in Electric Blue for my white S5. It's ok, it has a few tiny defects in the case but it fits the phone really well. I just got it as a cheap case to protect my phone while I wait for a case I really want to be released. It does add a bit too much bulk for me, and the blue looks a bit cheap against the white. It has a nice feeling to it though.

I got this one and like it a lot more than the spigen ultra. Spigen was a little too slippery

I had a Incipio case on my S3 but I went with an Otterbox on my S4. I liked the Incipio best because of the finish which somewhat non slip as the Otterbox case has a finish which will slip.

 

[kregstrong]

Yea this one has like a matte non slip texture. Similar to a Nexus 7

I know what you mean about the spigen being slick. I'm still going to use it but wanted to get another, grippier case. The incipio looks nice. Does it provide a sufficient lip over the rear camera and screen?

 

[kregstrong]

Yea it sticks up enough to where the camera would never touch a flat service. Probly sticks up 1-2mm I'm guessing

Good to hear. I'm torn between the black incipio and the black spigen (which is supposed to be grippy too, unlike the white one).

I'm using the Spigen SLIM ARMOR, Blue Metal Slate with dimpled back. (Matches the back of the stock S5 phone dimple-for-dimple). It's got a hard-rubber TPU inner-layer and a hard-plastic outer layer.

Very solid case and works great with a thick Japanese screen protector. Doesn't get caught up underneath it.

I highly recommend it for light, everyday use.

But if you're planning on rock climbing or something crazy, than you might want to go for something like an Otterbox Defender case which is much thicker and can take a tougher beating. More $$$ though.

My case was like $20. The screen protectors are sold separately.

I have a neo-hybrid spigen case on my Note 3, and absolutely love it. I'm trying to get my gf to one for her s5. Very precisely form-fitting, and the metalized buttons really add to the appearance to the case and work flawlessly. Doesn't attract dust or fingerprints and it seems very protective for it's slim form factor.

I have that case in metal slate (ultra slim) , I love it, nice fit and is relatively grippy. I also have the Ringle slim armor for days I want more protection

I like the look but my last case that was like that, the clear back looked like crap after only a couple of weeks.

I like this one. Might have to order it...
