I remember we did this for the S4 when it first came out and it gave me some great ideas about looking outside cheap Chinese junk rubber cases for a decent case.
This time around I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid ( see here )

Spigen Neo Hybrid just like the OP.
Great case and looks very nice.
This is the exact case that I have @ ashraf sharif. Though I have a zagg glass screen protector. Not the cheapest, but the 8 bux, I paid best buy to install it paid off immediately, as the first one didn't lay down correctly, so he replaced it right then and there.

This is the lightest bumper frame case available obviously only protects the corners and sides because it has no back. Its a great case for those that want the "naked" feel on the phone and still be protected from most drops...the material is a clear TPU so a side benefit is you can see if the S5 battery cover is properly sealed in case you plan on getting your phone wet. Less than three bucks on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00JB2I1V8?vs=1

Im also have to go with the OP.
The Spigen Neo Hybrid is the best looking case for the S5.
I had that same case on my Note 3.

I came across this case and was wondering if anyone has tried it out or anything like it? It looks nice but I'm afraid that it will come apart too easily as it is a two part case, or it might be made of cheap material. Thanks for the advice.

i would recommend getting a a TPU kind of case.
Yeah those are good, I got one real cheap on Amazon and it is still holding up pretty well. I just saw this and got curious
i had a backflip, the plastic case really screwed up the paint on it, i got scared of buying "plastic snap on" cases for anything now. lol.

I decided not to get that case in the OP because of the hard plastic that might scratch the phone, but I ended up getting a two-piece case off Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065SGLRW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It was only $2.89 so I had to try it out, I mainly got it because of the cutouts for the volume and power buttons.
Edit: Just in case someone was looking at buying this, it does cover up the top mic..
The pictures on Amazon show a different case which is very upsetting considering you can't even buy that one.
I got the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case...
It costs almost $10 but It does the job perfectly and you get a screen protector free along with it...
But that's for the tip of the wrong picture on amazon. I do most of my shopping there and it is certainly a shame...
Here is the Unicorn Beetle Case for Samsung Note 3:

The Black/Black case regularly drops down to 1.77$ at night!!! Just a heads up!!!
I assume the two protrusions on the back are to protect the camera when laying the phone down with its screen up?
Nice. anyone actually got/tried one out yet ?

I ordered mine last Monday and chose the basic shipping and even though it said it wouldnt be here until late next week, it actually went out for delivery today!
Mine showed up today, woudl've got on earlier, but I've been playing the BF4 Beta all day Lol
I had to try different dhl sites for the tracking number to work, I think I searched "dhl global" into google.
I bought this before I was sure that I would buy an N3, and if I did I had something cheap to use right away. I also wanted to see how big it felt in my hands, case and all. (pocket too)
First thoughts:
Looks like it's well designed (or at least the mold for making it was).
It feels fairly thin to medium in the sense that it's not too thick, but not so thin it's too thin to provide protection.
I thought it was 2 seperate pieces, it's one piece, the back being hard and the sides being soft.
I would say that the back is about the thickness of 2 credit cards and the side is about 1 card thick.
Sorry I havent bought the phone yet, or else I would provide pics of it in the case.
I'm glad I bought this and well worth the under $10 shipped price tag.
Color affects the price btw, I think the clear ones were more expensive.
I may cut slots near the finger grips to provide more traction. I have a large case for my s2 that had a kickstand that broke out and left a rectangular hole in the center, it allows me to grab it with my finger tips and stretch my thumb all the way across the screen, without tilting my phone to let gravity keep it in my hand, which would cause the screen to rotate.
Plus the holes will help keep the battery cooler, a bit more important in the desert.
I just got it today, and got to say is pretty nice for the price, don't know why the pics show the name on the case but mine don't have it. Which I thought it would when I ordered it. No biggie.

Lol I'm waiting on the slim armor and paid 6 bucks for this one on the time being. I'm just glad I have a case that fits, I had it in my trident case for my note 1 the last two days, and it barely fit and none of the holes matched.

Purchased the black case a couple of days ago. Got it for ten bucks on amazon.
My new Otter Box - Commuter Series. I find it far better than Spigen case, the feeling holding it is awesome! Recommended, well protect and not over bulky.

It came with free screen protector but I never use it as I hate SP. Hehe.
I buy at Malaysia. I believe mine is genuine, If not I not sure what to said already.

It's "brushed" plastic with side grips.
If you put it on a kitchen counter, and try to operate the phone and swipe the keyboard, does the phone spin? If you put it on your pant leg, does it slide off easy?
That thing is slippery as heck. I took mine back after trying it on in the car. Good lip on it though for screen protection. I also like the cut out for the S Pen, very easy to get to. But this isn't the case for me.
I also think it's very slippery. I'm going to return mine and keep using my incipio dualpro. The otterbox is fantastically tough but it's too slippery for me
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I always put my phone at desk camera face up, so no slippery for me.
It is nice hold in hand than Spigen Slim Armor, but yes it is much slippery if you put at desk camera face down.

Thank you for sharing the pictures.
I have a more clear idea of how bulky the Commuter Case is.
I just received the Poetic Case and they have definitely made improvements over the last case that I owned from them (Nexus 7 2012 Model)
We are all familiar what Poetic Case's look like, not much different except for the Logo. The new logo is quite stylish.

Another great addition over the older model that I had is that they have magnets built into the front cover so you can fold it up and it latches together.
I absolutely love this case for it's minimal yet stylish design, Poetic has done it again. And yes, the cover does have the open to wake functionality. Also the magnets are strong enough that the cover won't flap around.

I bought 2 styles from the manufacture website and the Slimline arrived with that dead fish smell but I did not use it for about 3 days and now that smell is gone. The other one I got from them was the GraphGrip and I love that one more.
I have this exact case in FULL Leather
so the one I have looks EXACTLY the same however the only difference with mine is the entire case is leather, not plastic in the back, and it weighs 7.13grams. hope that helps. And i Love it as well, looks and feels great, not heavy at all, and definitely NO bad odors. lol

I bought the poetic slimline case also. After having the samsung case on my note 8 I didn't like the poetic case. It doesn't sit the tablet up well in landscape mode and it's also a bit bulky. Makes getting to the volume and power button a little bit of a pain too. So I bought a Samsung case for my tab pro. Much happier now

This case is great except that when you fold the cover back the sharp edge is a bit uncomfortable on your skin - I.e., its sharp. Also there is no stylus holder and a stylus comes in quite handy to keep the screen clean.
I have yet to see anyone mention bumper case for the Nexus 6, does anyone know if it'll be available anywhere? I think it'd be slick to have a metal/aluminum bumper case!
