[Q] Cases and Docks - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

What cases are all you currently running on your S4's and what if any docks do you use? I'm rocking the Neo Hybrid from Spigen and a Aluminum Bumper from time to time. Also my Samsung dock doesn't work with either of the cases so I picked up a sweet dock from Rokform.

I'm using an Incipio case at the moment. It hasn't yet needed to save my phone from damage, but it's not bad looking or feeling so I'm glad to have it.

Samsung Dock for Samsung Note work with Case?

Does anybody have the Samsung OEM dock for the Note? If so does it have enough leeway to be used with a TPU case on the phone or is it just too tight?
I have the Samsung dock and the elago slim fit case, and the phone docks without any issues.
Will not dock with the box wave slim case. Or the speck cases sold at at&t store.

TPU cases prevent the usb plug from seating fully, they are just a little too thick (mentioned this in my review of the Cimo Tech case).
Cases like the Elago Slim, Incipio Feather, and SGP Ultra Thin have exposed upper and lower sections of the phone that let the dock work without problem. I'm using the Elago as my everyday case and its working out great

Belt clip case

Has anybody tried one of these cases for the Note? It is a belt clip/kickstand holster. I was wondering if the belt clip is durable or if it feels really cheap or loose. Also curious if the phone will fit this case with the glas.t installed on the screen.

many users have brought this. Very good one. Build quality is not very high class but sturdy and maintains the phone well.
Thanks for the info. Trying to get a few accessories ordered ahead of time so when I get the phone I will have them already.
I have this case, here are a few pix,
I also have Moshi iVisor screen protector and no issue with case.
Stand/belt clip sturdy so far.
I have this case, too. Works as advertised. Very decent, especially for the price. I also have the Seidio Active Combo. Seidio is nicer. More of a Cadilac while this one is more of a Ford.
Yes But Minimal Protection

If you drop it top and bottom of the phone is vulnerable.:crying:
I've have this exact case that I've bought from Cellphoneshop.com for the same price(9.00) when I just bought my phone 2 months ago. I"m just waiting for the otterbox comes out!! ATT doesn't know when they will be released!!!
This will just be a case to tide me over until I get the seidio combo with holster.

The Otterbox's, both Defender and Commuter have been out for awhile now. Hit up eBay or the web. I love my Defender! Also, there are threads about these too. Don't buy from AT&T though... Priced too high.

What case do you have?

So I'm not a big case person but I found a light slim case that you can hardly tell and I love it so much thought I'd share it . Let me know what you got or going to get!

Otterbox Commuter -- its a thin, solid case, which I like.. and was only ~$26, which I also like.
otter box as well
I have a Incipio Feather case coming in soon. I tend to be pretty responsible (keeping my fingers crossed) with my phones and I like that the case helps avoid scratches without adding too much size.
I got the Otter Commuter as well.

Haha yep. Same here.
Otterbox commuter. I wanted a sleek metal case but was concerned about interference.
Really pleased with the otterbox, they have made major improvements since the last time I saw one a couple years ago. Slides easily in/out of pockets.
Awesome simple case and VERY cheap!

Man I wish I had seen that Neo Hybrid before I ordered my Cygnett UrbanShield Carbon Fiber Case.
I just ordered the Spigen Ultra Air case from Amazon. Looks very nice and not bulky.
cruizer lite here
i have three cases, all made by spgen. Neo Hybrid, Slim Armor and an Ultra Fit (got this one free).
I'll most likely go with the Neo Hybrid but we'll see how it fits and if it offers enough protection
I currently have a Rearth Ringke Slim (Black). I ordered the Aero UAG case and waiting on that. That is a cool looking case. I originally had ordered the Spigen in Slate Blue, but after seeing the UAG, I cancelled the order (about $30 with shipping from imarine.com)
That thing looks like it's made to be taken through combat... good grief. I don't want my phone to remind me of MIL-Crates though had enough of that over there...
SPG Neo Hybrid blk/yellow. Awesome little case keeps it very slim and gives good grip for such a thin phone.
Currently have the Otterbox Commuter. I normally use the Defender series but I couldn't find one local. Might get a Defender down the road. The Commuter is slim, but slick.

Do you guys like this case?

This is a ballistic rubber-like case I bought at a store a while back. I also have a neo hybrid case. I like the feel free of this case a lot. It has a good grip and good protection. I like the looks except for the back. It has these little dots on the inside that help it grip the phone but I think it might look bad?

I hate cases But the S4 wouldnt survive anything without it That case u got is hugee... i prefer ultra thin... offcourse that case will give ur phone propper protection if it fall down
Yeah, it's pretty big and the corners are well protected. So, you don't think it looks cheap or anything?

The issue I've found with GS4 cases, is a lot of them have very small openings for the headphone jack. I've struggled to find a case that offers a reasonable amount of protection, a slim profile, and a nice opening for the headphone jack.
Not a fan of the corners - but, hey - to each thier own!
That looks gooey .
that's nice:highfive:
I HATE CASES.. big cases at that, but I actually got the commuter otter box case.. best investment
I put an Otterbox Defender on everything. My tablet even has one. On my S3 I had a Zagg Invishield on it because I was using the Mophie Battery Case. I had an Otterbox Defender for that phone too but didn't use it much. Only used it when I went to areas of high risk like a racetrack maybe but always carried the Mophie Case.
I just got my s4 today, I ordered an UAG case. I had one for my s3 and loved it. Very snug, perfect cutouts(both placement and size) and it is only one piece for ease of removal. The rubber corners are made it off a material that has just enough grip in your hand, but doesn't get lint from your pocket. I'm a carpenter and a bit rough with stuff, it's very durable. Bounced it many times off concrete floors.
looks wack. i got a spigen slim armor in slate for my black s4 and it looks sooo good.
Phone Case
I just picked up the S4 the other day and was not into any of the cases the phone vendor had in stock. They had Otter and a couple others, the Otter boxes seemed excellent but I couldn't get by the lunch box size of the final assembly. Anyway I tried several not really liking any, so I looked on line and found one made by Elementcase that seemed to be what I was looking for. It arrived over night and did indeed prove to be what I was looking for. A nice design, light and slim with a machined bezel and kick stand.
Nice case!
Actually not a bad looking case at all

looks nice...
Actually looks good and like it easy to hold on to.
Post a pick of the empty case if you would and where you got it.
Thx
Thanks guys. I rotate between that case and my spigen neo hybrid. I love the looks of the neo hybrid so much but this rubber one stays much cleaner.
I'll post a picture of the case off the phone when I get home in a bit. I bought it at AT&T and it's called ballistic something. Verizon store didn't have any cases and after I bought the phone I wanted a temporary case until I ordered the neo hybrid.

I originally had a big ole body glove case from the vzw store. Recently got the Ringke Fusion and really like it. Nice and thin, looks nice and has space in all the openings for all my various usb plugs and headphones.

I just got my Neo Hybrid a few days ago and really love it.....just enough to keep it in your hands well without adding much bulk.

Cases for Z3V

Figured opening something for this would be useful for everyone. Being that this model has different dimensions from both the Z3 standard and Z2 itll need its own line of cases. Theres apparently a tough case mate on the way and some leather slip cases. Post up what you come across as you go.
I did some research and found out the cases for the Z2 L50h will work for Z3v since the dimensions of the phones are the same.
I've found no evidence to support that.
VZW website has 2 cases up so far. A silicone one and the usual hard case with holster and kickstand.
It appears that Verizon might be stocking a third case in the near future - If you go to the all accessories page (not the cases page) on the Verizon website and and filter by the z3v, there is also a Incipio DualPro for Experia Z3v in purple or black in the list, although it gives a 404 if you try to click on it.
It looks nicer then the other options, so I'm hoping it is released soon.
Update: I can now get to the details page and ad it to a cart, so maybe they are adding the listing this morning.
The incipio is out in stores. I got one when i picked up my phone. Its actually pretty nice.
Do you need to take the phone out of the case for charging wirelessly?
i have the cheapo black case, works fine charging wirelessly. it was like 19 bucks?
Both the incipio and silicone Verizon cases can be left on to charge wirelessly

That aint cheap, just to some standards. XD
I have the plain silicone case too but geez...it looks VERY plain. Wished the incipio one was in store when I got it at the time. :/
Do the z2 cases fit the z3v

Unfortunately no.
Your best ones available are pretty much the plain TPU case and the incipio dual from Verizon. I have the plain one, but it does pretty alright for what it does in giving me grip.
Everyone should contact Diztronic and ask them to make a TPU for the Z3v. I've always liked their TPU products.

I have the kickstand holster case and just use the shell. It looks good but the protection isn't the best. It covers the back glass but the top and bottom of the phone are exposed in the middle. Not bad though. Both this case and the plain TPU case I bought work with my Sony 5,000mah wireless portable charger (nice device btw) and the Chloe Qi charger.

They're not TPU cases, they're just plain silicone. I'm waiting for the TPU cases to come out
The Incipio case is the best one out right now.
i had post this on the other thread:
look like theres a new TPU case made from China that looks very interesting

There's an otter box defender on otter boxes site. Looks bulky.
I am using the Z2's Trident Aegis case on my Z3v. Fit is just about on point. The opening for the charging port/SIM card is a little off where I can't open the charging port cover to charge. I have to remove it from the case. The cutout where the earphone port is has a gap around the little flap that covers the actual port.
Other than those minor issues, I have been satisfied using this case until a more specific fit case rolls out.
