Which case? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for a case that's:
1. Rugged (at least decent shock impact)
2. Somewhat slim
3. Not too pricey
So far I'm torn between:

And

Anyone know which case or of another have the best combination of shock impact without being too thick?
Thanks.

I have the case from the first link you posted. I've had no problems whatsoever thus far. The belt clip is really secure and the silicon not only covers the phone but it serves as a border around the screen so if you drop it the screen won't even touch the floor really. The case is decent too. Definitely worth $13.

about how thick is the case?

It's not bulky. You can trust the reviews on amazon for the case. It's worth it especially for the price.

I have the otterbox defender series. Due to the design of the case, There's a bubble in the screen protector. I simply poped it out and replaced it with a zagg screen protector. Search ebay, I only spent $30. Still waterproof and my 3 kids literally throw my phone across the room and it's still in brand new condition

I almost went with the iBlason, but ended up going to Unicorn Beetle route. It's a nice case and I really like it. It's a tough TPU throughout with a polycarbonate slab on the back. Looks pretty nice and feels good in the hand--quality materials. The only thing is you have to shave the little inner button nubs off with a razor blade as the Amazon reviews mention.
Good luck deciding.

I own both, as well as just about every other case made for our phone...
I hate the i-Blason, and have since I took it out of the package. Nothing really wrong with it, just not my taste. Inner portion is too mushy, hard to slip it in and out of my pocket, and I don't think anyone would call it "thin".
For "thin and rugged" you are far better off with the SUPCASE. Also look at the TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody.

whats a good case that keeps out dust and dirt

I got a nexus s and I got a tpu amezer case and is pretty good but my only
Complain is that a lot of dirt and dust be getting stuck in between the cracks
Of the front screen so I was just wondering if there's a case out there with a tighter grip around
The screen........
I do think the MOMAX case is a great case for NS. But it's a must for having some dust problems no matter what case you are gonna use.

The s-shape case from amazon or ebay is definitely the best for dust and everything else

Not really. I've used that case and dust will get stuck around the screen and somehow it'll get inside. This is from my experience though.
The ringke case keeps dust out pretty well. None around the screen. Does a better job than the previous cases I've had. Although if you stretch it a lot it'll loose its tightness.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Been using the Ringke case and have not seen any dust or lint being attached onto the case.
I've previously used the Case-Mate Pop case. No dust or lint on there either.
Ringke: Low-Profile case. Want a better grip but don't want it too bulky? This ones yours.
Case-Mate Pop: Worried about dropping the phone and want the ultimate protection? This ones yours.
I'm really considering getting the Ringke case is it worth it

Yeah it's a good case. Very low profile, doesn't really add much bulk. Better grip, there are numerous reviews out there including YouTube videos that would help you make the decision.
Only thing I had with the case is aligning the case with the phone. When I first put it on, I saw the cut outs were like kind of off. But when I saw the videos, you had to realign it. Other than that it seems pretty good.
An alternative to the Rearth Rinke case would be the SGP Ultra Silke case, which is almost the same but with a little different design, and comes with the claimed-to-be one of the "best" static screen protector out there (Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear)

Don't know about the Trident, but I found that dust got into the sides of the Seidio Active X case. The rubber on it is pretty stretchy/flimsy even though it is held on by the exoskeleton.
I bought the seidio and it attracts dust like a magnet,its ridiculous

Casemate Tough Case - Pics/Review

The Tough cases has always been the best I've owned. They have changed the design up for our Note 2 (just like trident, I feel these companies are debuting the latest and greatest with our phone). So I've reviewed it below.
Made a separate review thread here, easier to post a bunch of pics.
http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686
Thank you for the info.
My 2 cents: can't see how this is "tough". I used to work in Retail and we carried these Case mate's for other phones, and i can't see how it is better protection than an Otterbox (though sadly they make ugly cases for all the phones I own), or even Ballistic. They seem kinda of .. regular.
40 bucks seems kinda high for a case like that...I know eventually they will come to amazon for a lot cheaper..
For my S2 I had every case there was and it was always the best for being rugged, slim, and awesome grip. The name may make it sound like a contender with the otterbox defender, but its certainly more in the commuter class if thats what your looking for. The design looks different than previous versions, just hope it works out in a good way.

I will say one thing about case-mate, they seem to have good build quality from past products I've tried. They have less pronounced mold lines etc.
Otterbox's are riddled with ugly mold lines everywhere or at least their recent products.
Oops didnt see this thread when i created mine hehe ...
Pre-order is available @ shop andrioid Canada. Another promising looking case. Reminds me of a mix of the Body Glove and Diztronic Case.

Re: Now Available - Casemate Tough Case
I've dropped my S2 multiple times from high, even on the road once getting out from the car. Never had a scratch on my device. IMHO, the greatest feature of the tough case is the grippiness of the textured back. None if the hybrid case out there have this grippy texture. Even the ballistic or otterbox have a somewhat smooth back.
Been waiting for this case for a long time!

Got tired of waiting for a UAG case order so I've decided to order a tough case today.
Took the blue one and It looks great.
You can buy it for 20$ instead of 40$, all you need to do is to put in your order the coupon code "friends50" and It takes off 50% of your case order. Enjoy!!
I can't wait for it to arrive to my country.
Can someone tell me the size of the hole in the case around the headphone port? I have a set of Shure In-ear monitors I use and they have a fat body around the plug, about 3/8".
I have modified the Samsung case to make it work, but looks ugly. Kinda matches the side I cut to get the flip cover to work with it.
Looking for a new case and this one just came on my radar.

I put calipers on it and it hit 3/8" without squeezing it. I may have to shave a bit off the plug, there is a lot of rubber surrounding the plug.

Minimal Case

Hi, I am looking for a minimal case for my Note 2. I tend to go for the soft rubber/plastic combo. Not the completely rubber kind, but the one where it's a bit harder, but not hard plastic either.
As cheap as possible would be nice of course, I am in Canada.
Mercury tpu cases are pretty nice. They hold up pretty well according to how my mom's is on her s3. Around $10 USD and widely available.

this case covers the bottom and top much better than all other slim cases like elago and spigen ultra thin air, but i agree with you...a fully surrounded case with this body would be perfect.
I've got a few tpu cases from Amazon. I even dropped my phone from chest high to the concrete and not really any noticeable marks on the case not to mention nothing happened to my phone. Well except the terrifying fall to the ground lol. Any tpu case should protect your phone just fine imo.

Me included. It only fell a foot, it had a slimline TPU case on it, and now I have a crack across the bottom of the glass.
Don't scrimp on your phone protection, the repair costs are not nice.
I agree about the TPU case protection is not a lot of protection. I just use a Cruzerlite TPU and have had my phone dropped about half a dozen times with no problem thus far. Usually I'm in the processing of catching it which significantly reduces the speed, and thus the impact force when it hits the ground.
Than said, I wasn't expecting Otterbox defender protection either. I was only looking to scratch protection for the few times I may drop the GH2, and some drop protection. I wasn't expect to have dropped my phone so many times thus far. It's possible I haven't had glass issues from having the Just Like Glass screen protector installed. It's supposedly add break resistance to the glass.
I would imagine that a gel case would add a reasonable amount of cushioning protection. Possibly enough to reduce the odds of your glass breaking.
I suppose it's a trade off between safety and usability. I have an Otterbox Defender on my phone now, and though it feels safe, it's also now too damned big to use comfortably.
Maybe this one 0.2mm

Maybe he'll ship to Canadia.
I picked one up for about $20 from the local Sprint store when I got my phone that has a rubber cover and plastic hard case that covers the phone. It even has a stand on the back. There was no product name on it, just the Sprint name so I don't know who actually made it. It's been a very good case for it since I bought it back in November.
I use a seidio surface case. It comes in 2 parts and snaps together in the middle. It has survived one drop from my pocket onto concrete so far. The 2 halves popped apart which I think is by design because it's happened before when I had one on a blackberry. It's expensive though and I'm sure I could have found more economical protection if I had bothered looking.

[Q] case

what case are you guys using ?
I am using the samsung's official s-view case and I dropped my phone the other day and now i have a dent on the top and bottom outter corners on the metal frame since this case does not protect it well....
i am looking for suggestions for a thin case that covers the body and have s-view window...
any suggestions ?
Spigen bounce for me. Its thin and form fitting around all the corners. Only problem is 2 color choices, black and grey (light black).
Costs more than a generic tpu case but it looks and feels better.

I could have told everyone about the spigen neo hybrid from my experience with their S4 case. It's one of the most overrated cases on the market, I'm not sure why people love it so much.
It looks and feels much cheaper in person than in pics and it makes the phone much bulkier and wider than it needs to be. And it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
Thumbs way down, I will never buy a spigen again.

If you want a fairly inexpensive no frills case, check out the one from Caseology. I got one for $3.50 on a deal from slickdeals and it's a great case with decent protection for the price. Even at the regular $8.50 price I would say it's well worth it.

Cool. What about screen protection??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I'm using an iSmooth screen protector. Application was the smoothest of any screen protector I've used so far - but I don't know how much of that is just practice applying them. The screen looks beautiful, with no rainbow patterns, and grease resistance is good (the Spigen ones I used before on my original note, I had a harder time of applying, and both Crystal and Oleophobic ones accumulated grease like nobody's business, particularly the supposedly oleophobic one, and the crystal had slight rainbow patterns visible in the right light).
As for cases, I'm not using one; I don't like the added bulk from them - I instead used Sugru to mold little bumpers directly on the corners of the phone. The corner around the S-Pen is kinda tricky, since there's what looks like a mic on the long side, and very little space between the pen and the speaker on the bottom. I used 3 little pieces of sugru around there. I also put a little bumper below the volume rocker, so I can quickly find the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket. The sugru comes off cleanly (scrape it off with a fingernail). It lasts pretty well, but it will need to be redone at least once during a two year contract, more if the phone is handled roughly.
Thoughts on the S view case?
I think Im mostly concerned with the glass cracking than anything else...
Right now i am rocking the Incipio DualPro case and am waiting for a case from Cuzerlite to come in.
I got the Tudia Melody and it's perfect. 8 bucks to boot. It adds a nice grip to the phone and covers up the chrome lining on the front. You know the part that looks terrible even with a minor scuff? No screen protection except for the raised edges.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
If you want protection and don't mind added bulk the Otterbox Defender is the only way to go. I personally have large hands and prefer the thickness and bulk the Defender adds. Plus you can throw it at a wall and it will not hurt the phone. The built in screen protector is hard plastic and will protect from most surface scratches. Of course direct impacts to the screen will almost always break it on large device like this and there is no case or protector that protects from direct impacts. So for screen protection you just have to take what you can get.
For me the Ottorbox has been the only way to go for my last five phones.
@Solarenemy68 while last year me would agree with you, I found another case company called trident with a similar design. There a bit cheaper too (price not quality!!) long story short, mine came today and it is amazing. Has a built in metal kickstand. (Had a bad experience with my last phone cuz of otterbox's customer service. So tried something new)

I'm currently enjoying my Otterbox Commuter and Trident Aegis cases.
I LOVE my dot view case. Great protection, the cover features really do come in handy, and I really dig the overall look. This is my first cover case and I've gotten to used to it really quickly. Besides the dot view that I've also been using Skinomi back skin when I want to go naked to prevent scratches (had issues with my M7). The install was easy, the fit was great, and no visible orange peel that I can see.

100% with you! Love this case, love the magnet on/off and the dot functions. Takes a tiny bit of getting used to if you have not used a flip case (like me). Think it looks pretty slick and smart, ten times better than a generic amazon jelly cases.
I feel all the complaints are a tiny bit unfair, that is... apart from the price. But £30 to protect a £600 phone for two years seems good to me. I think the spring of the cover will dissipate after a month of use so the one handed usability will return.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUT
I think it has sub-par protection capabilities. I only got this case because of the condition of my two year old HOX. Not a scratch on it, never dropped/thrown or scratched. DO NOT BUY THIS CASE FOR PROTECTION. It pops out very easily and the sides are not protected. I'm worried that sliding the phone in and out of my pocket may one day catch the volume rocker then just rip it off.
Good case with minimal protection; otter box or equivalent for repeat drop offenders!!!
I used a Spigel Glas.T slim on my Xperia Z, and it was a huge disappointment, cause the glass was so thick that the edges became a 90 angle which caught on stuff. However, the case I got with the M8 (Scandinavia. Don't know what the case is called) has a little lip outside of the edges, so it might be OK with this phone.
Of course, then I'd have to wear the case all the time, which isn't really that big of a problem, but who knows what cool cases might appear in the future, without a lip...
Maybe I'm overthinking this

100% with you! Love this case, love the magnet on/off and the dot functions. Takes a tiny bit of getting used to if you have not used a flip case (like me). Think it looks pretty slick and smart, ten times better than a generic amazon jelly cases.
I feel all the complaints are a tiny bit unfair, that is... apart from the price. But £30 to protect a £600 phone for two years seems good to me. I think the spring of the cover will dissipate after a month of use so the one handed usability will return.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUT

Haha you're probably right. I typically go naked with all my phones so I might feel a bit over protected by having a full cover case on for the first time.
Very subjective as people have different needs for their cases.
For me, I find the UAG to be the best case for me.
TPU covers are minimal but also provide minimum protection.
OtterBox Defender cases provide excellent protection but add a large amount of bulk.
For me, the UAG is the best of both worlds. Very good impact protection but does not add a ton of bulk.
I second uag. Just got mine today and absolutely love it. Provided good protection and isn't very bulky also the design is very cool. I saw some drop videos of this case on various phones and it stood up to a 6 foot drop flat on the screen, now that's impressive.

The spigen slim arm or looks like good case. Very sleek looking in my oponion. Mine will be delivered today. It offer good protection without making the phone very thick.

Great case. Very well crafted. i used lots of cases in the past and they seem to have some imperfection. with this one i haven't noticed any. the camera cut off is perfect. the buttons are very responsive better than the one on the phone. the M8 was very slippery not anymore with this case. very solid on hand. it,s a bit heavy and adds little bit of bulkiness but that,s not issue for me. overall great looking case that offers sleek look and good protection.
it blocks the IR blaster but no big deal for me
I really like how all of Spigen's cut outs on all of their cose styles are exact to the leanses and flash etc. Instead of larger mutli use holes. It just makes it look so much nicer.

Others have actually posted the opposite stating the cutouts are a little bit off and especially around the silver trim around the camera.

This, hands down: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ0R02Y/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks gorgeous, feels amazing, slides easily in and out of pocket, doesn't attract lint, and it's very affordable.
All you UAG guys I encourage you to give this one a try. I used to be a die-hard UAG user, but I just got this and it easily won me over and the best thing is that it's less than half the price of UAG's cases.

I also highly recommend this case. Great grip. Frosted back let's the aluminum show through. IR blaster still works. Minimal bulk with decent protection.

Found i-BLASON for M8 here.
Additional costs for Shipping & Handling (International Standard Shipping) $16.99
You won't find SUPCASE HTC One 2 / HTC One Plus Case - Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for M8 on their site but they're already offering it here: amazon.co.uk
I contacted them for international orders on this item - waiting for an answer.
