Hey guys, I just got my Note 3 today and need some quick helping finding a good case/screen protector combo.
I HAD the S4 Urban Armor, but due to some issues with money I won't be getting something like that right now.
I like the feel of the Urban Armor, so is there anything a bit cheaper that is pretty similar to it? Or my mother has a case for her iPhone that fits kind of like an Otter Box, but the back opens up to store a few credit cards. Is there something similar to that?
Also need a decent screen protector that isn't 30$
Thanks, everyone!
Look up the pt brand case on bestbuy.com I really like mine. And it came with a holster.

spigen slim armor and spigen glas.tr are solid if you want protection. i have the bounce with the glas.tr tempered glass screen protector and they're great.

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.
Just ordered this off Amazon for $10 and I have to say that this is an amazing case. The fit and feel is second to none and I like the angled corners of the case. It has a nice rubberized finish and fingerprints don't show. I'm getting used to the design on the back...I wasn't a fan at first. I think anyone would be happy to have this in their case line-up.

I like it as well...I bought it and the Glas.TR screen protector. Thoroughly pleased with both products!

Its really lukin very impressive and nice one... you got this TR glass with the case inclusive or you bought it separately...
i also just bought it recently its probably my favorite case i dont know why. i have the slim armour and neo hybrid but i prefer this one for some odd reason.

bought both off of amazon.
I wonder which one is heavier bounce case vs ultra slim fit case ?
That looks impressive ... but not as well as NEO one (In my mind)

I have the bounce case and its great. Its not to thick, provides enough protection and covers the volume and power buttons. Works great and with a good price.
i'm digging this case too. I only dropped this phone while I was running, it slid on the front of the phone for 5 feet and didn't get a scratch or crack.
I dropped this phone a few times with this case. No damage. The case is a typical tpu case but with a nice design and pattern.
Hi everyone, just switched from my Nexus 5 to an LG G3 today. First priority is to pick up a decent case and screen protector combo.
Been reading on the forums but haven't really found many definitive answers.
I've been looking at 2 cases:
-Tudia Ultra Slim Lite
-Diztronic Matte Black TPU
If anybody can shed some light on which will offer a better fit and grip/feel in the hand, and which is more compatible with a wide variety of screen protectors,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I've noticed a ton of screen protectors seem to have one large rectangular cutout for the earpiece and sensors which I do not like.
Which companies offer the most screen coverage? (Doesn't have to be glass)
I've noticed these Spigen Crystal Clear protectors show precision cuts but who knows how accurate that is
http://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Spig...373279&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g3+screen+protector
I would like to put in orders this weekend so I can start using this badboy to its full potential!
Thank you in advance, hopefully I'll be able to shed light on other questions in return sometime soon.

Diztronics makes great quality cases. Was not a fan of the feel of tudia case for my g2. Cruzerlite cases are legit as well.
I don't have any pictures, but I have the Diztronic and love it. It has a nice feel and doesn't smudge like a gloss tpu would.
It's paired with a Zagg glass screen protector and fits well. For a glass that has precise cutouts the PThink brand that can be found on Amazon has just the earpiece cutout. I would have gotten that one if I found it before buying the Zagg.

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended up ordering the Diztronic + Spigen Crystal clear protectors
Just thought I'd give an update here, possibly for anyone looking for a good case for their phone.
Got my diztronic in the mail today, and it makes me wonder why I never bothered to order one of their cases in the past.
For the price you pay, you're getting a great fitting case which looks good and feels good in the hand. Doesn't seem to add much extra bulk to the phone either.

Did you get the regular TPU case or the ultra version of it? Both are nice! I'd also recommend the Tactical Impact by Tech21. It is similar to the Diztronic but the TPU is more rugged and interior is lined with D3O material. Awesome case for $20

I opted for just the regular diztronic TPU as I didn't want to add any significant bulk to the phone but still have some sort of scratch protection
One thing that worries me about it though is if the matte coating were to start rubbing off.
This happened to a rearth ringke case I purchased for my Galaxy S2 way back when. That was quite disappointing
You shouldn't need to worry about wear on the diztronic case. I've had one on my Galaxy S3 for a couple years without any visible wear and it goes everywhere with me.
Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

I'm using this one from Amazon and very happy with it - only scratch protection, but that's what I was looking for - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7
I just purchased this one. Waiting for it to come in Wednesday. I can post some pictures once I have it.

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

This is CaliCase. They changed their name.
Get the elago case from Amazon. It's sooooooooooooo slim! It's .3 I believe and leaves you the flush look of the phone. Just need a decent screen protector now lol

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

I just got this case from Amazon.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Very slim, no branding, matte black.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.
hello, i came to the problem that most glass protections u can buy for the p20 pro for now are all full body and not abit less... that means none of those protectors are compatible to use with case armors liek the spigen rugged armor because the glass edges peel off.
anyone knows some glasses whic hare ABIT less than full body? preferably EU / amazon

They do exist but the one I got from Amazon had halo along the edges so I'm not going to recommend it. The one I got from my local carrier store is prefect. No halo at all and I use it with the rugged armor without issue. It had no branding on it though, just a generic pink box, sorry. However it seems to be very similar in cut to the Nillkin one so maybe that's worth a shot if you can get one of those.
I have had the Spigen tempered glass on mine for a day now and it seems to be the best I've tried so far, it fits fine with my cases though I can't vouch for the rugged armor. My slim armor case is arriving tomorrow so I'll let you know how it fits with it.
It's available on amazon uk
UPDATE - fits great with the slim armor, slight gap between protector and case
