I still think the Trident Aegis is the best case, if you're looking for decent protection, but not looking for something that'll stop a nuclear missile. I personally don't like Otterbox's design, because the earpiece looks weird covered like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
Yeah I really wanted the oterbox but the whole weird earpiece thing at the top made me not buy it. Another thing that's preventing me from getting the trident cases is that they look huge. And that's something I really want to avoid especially since so many of my iPhone friends keep comparing their phone to mine.

Otterbox is fine..honestly I had my ipod touch audio jack damaged from all the dirt etcc..meaning you dont want to risk it, the earpiece is not that weird..personally I think otterbox is kinda bulky so I could only imagine juice defender..

I use one of those $5 TPU cases off eBay. fits like a glove, and doesn't make the phone much thicker at all. Plus, it adds some grip so the phone doesn't slip out of my hand anymore. I don't like big, bulky cases, so the otterbox wouldn't fit my needs.

I didn't use a case for the first few weeks I had this phone, but I got the Gel Skin from T-Mobile. It has a good feel to it and doesn't feel too bulky.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ToiletSalesman:
The covering at the top on the otterbox keeps your ear from getting too close and getting the earpiece messy (read: wax built up). It actually makes the phone fit more comfortably, and keeps your cheek from being the screen all oily. At least it does for me.

Also, I stepped on the hardcase and broke it (while it was off my phone), and otterbox sent me a brand new case, screen protector, hard and soft case included. I received the new case today, via smartpost. They didn't rush ship it to me, but didnt have to do anything at all.

The otterbox commuter is an incredible value for this phone, as it hardly makes it bulky, includes a lot, and includes support from a solid company.

I'm using the Otterbox Commuter case, so far I'm EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome. The case didnt increase the overall size compared to my old TPU case, so it even works with my holster.

A pro tip, don't order the Commuter case from Otterbox, use Newegg! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA08901H1508 Save a few bucks! Incredible case!

Ghost armor

Ghost armor is the way to go if you want scratch protection and don't want to lug around rubber. Its about 40 bucks installed, but it comes with a lifetime warranty. Should you not like the color, or if you want to change to carbon fiber, its only 5 bucks for the labor. You can find i online or you can usually find it in a mall kiosk somewhere.

I use the Otterbox commuter case and am really happy with it. Adds a little bit of bulk but a LOT of protection. Also comes with a screen protector. There is a cheaper link on Newegg, but I'm not allowed to post links yet :(

Case really depends on what you're looking for. The Ghost Armor skins are really cool if you just want anti-scratch, but if you want any sort of bump/drop/headbutt I'd go with the Otterbox or similar!

Wonderful case

Hey everyone, my first post here, although I've been lurking for a while. Great community, although smaller than others - lots of spirit! :)

I just wanted to give you all my impressions of the elago BREATHE for the Vibrant/Galaxy S 4G. I can't post links yet, but it's easily found on Amazon for $7.99 + s/h.

The case is outstanding, very decent quality, and feels very well made in the hand. I received it very quickly from the seller. The texture is not smooth, and not rubbery - somewhere in between. The case is not as hard as some other plastic cases but softer, and seems like could absorb some shocks. It does NOT cover at all the top and bottom of the phone (where the ports are, and its obverse side). Rather, it contours the sides and back, with just the corners partially protected. The back is a wonderful mesh which helps with the grip immensely. Most importantly - although it doesn't seem so at first, the case's sides are slightly higher than the screen so if you lay the phone on its face, it will not touch the surface it's sitting on (as long as it's flat). The margin is miniscule, but it is there.

Why did I buy this case? Well it doesn't add on any bulk to the phone, and makes it look absolutely gorgeous - thin, good grip, some protection, wonderful mesh in the back. I would recommend this instead of getting a different battery cover. It feels to be the same quality as some of the higher end iPhone 4 cases I've seen around.

Hope that helped someone decide, I know it took me ages to find a good case for this beauty. :)

SGS4G case

Hey Guys, I have tried a ton of cases on my SGS4G and I have found these to be the best type of cases. since im new I cant post a link but just google:

Samsung Galaxy S 4G SGH-T959V i9000 Vibrant Black Cell Phone Back Cover

It is not a replacement battery cover, it snaps on over it. I wanted it because it doesn't cover the button or headphone/usb ports. Its really durable and looks pretty cool on the phones. I also like that it doesn't make the phone much bigger, a lot of the rubber and hard cases for these phones add about 1/4 inch to the size.

Hope this helps someone on their search for a case!

All these folks that posted about otterbox have never had the Trident Aegis in their hands. I've had otterbox, and this Trident case blows it away! Just got it! I got it in ballistic green. They also make a few other variations that appear to be discontinued. A real shame, because the other designs are pretty cool too! Someone else who has tried otterbox and then moved to the Trident Aegis needs to speak up! The otterbox folks have been misled into believing they have a quality case!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
Hey guys, I need some help on deciding on which case to go with. So far I have it narrowed down to three: Otterbox Commuter, Trident Aegis, and Trident Cyclops.

Right now I have, I think, a tpu case. The issue with it is it doesn't go far enough into the screen to stop it from ruining my invisible shield edges (they're starting to get crappy looking!).

The otterbox seems awesome, but the thing that's stopping me is the dust cover flap for the headphone jack. What's your experience with it? Everyone that I've seen have a flap like that ends up with a flap that won't close.

The Aegis seems good, but from what I see, I think I'll have the same problem as I have with the tpu case.

The cyclops is looking like my best bet, but I'd probably end up removing that screen cover--anyone know how that works? Is it right up against the screen as if you already have an invisible shield or something similar?

Any input would be awesome! :D

No case for me. Makes my phone feel too bulky.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
I settled on a Trident Cyclops. I found a brand new Vibrant one on ebay for $9.99 with free S&H. It's missing the hole for the front-facing camera, but I never use that thing and never will. It arrived over the weekend and I must say, this case is killer! It's rugged (basically this thing could easily carry the Jeep logo), but not crazy bulky, and it's completely sealed. Fits like a glove! One of the best things about it is the PET built-in screen protector; it's very clear, very responsive, and beats my old invisible shield hands down. The top plugs are pretty sweet too; although they're a little hard to open, I like it that way--flush and won't have a problem with them flapping open.

If anyone's interested, the seller has some more left. Only in ballistic green though. Keep in mind that it's meant for the Vibrant; you won't be able to use your front-facing camera.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Richie Rich 20kHz:
I need to get a case for my phone and after reading all the comments, I'm leading towards the Trident Aegis, but I'm worried about the rubber coating peeling off or if the case muffles the microphone at the bottom of the phone.

Does anyone who owns that case experienced either of that?

Was also thinking of the Cyclops case for the Vibrant as a second choice, since I don't use the front facing cam, or the Otterbox as well.

Thanks in advance!

Only complaint I really have is no belt pouch I have found will fit it, and I don't always like having it in my pocket. It was the best option I could find at the time without a belt clip. If anyone knows of an option I can use for a belt clip or pouch I'd be much obliged.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
I just got the SGP slim case after almost 2 years with the T-Mobile silicone skin. I was soo excited because it made this feel like a brand new phone until I took it off and it cracked...oh well. I've probably spent over $50 on cases and I still keep going back to that silicone skin. TPUs aren't fitted too well and always show a little chrome around the top or sides (my OCD is not gonna allow that), these slim cases break easy, otter boxes feel bulky, my tire thread case ripped, my "hybrid case" was ginormous, and the 2 piece cases are completely pointless. I learned my lesson. Stick with real cases made by reputable manufacturers and no more buying useless crap off of eBay.

Is this good fit for our Galaxy S 4G?

Look like Galaxy S ????
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] HKSpeed:
my understanding is Samsung Vibrant (t959) cases will fit our phones (t959v). Looking at the photos, the cut-outs on the Mercury case matches the generic TPU case I have on my t959v. So it looks like the Mercury case would fit our phones.

I use a CaseMate Barely There Chrome (i9000). It fits perfectly around the camera. It's just a bit hard to remove. You really have to pry it from both top corners alternately. I dropped the phone several times on concrete and neither the phone nor case broke, just a few scuffs on the edge. I had to order the last one from Israel, it's not a common case, but I found it on eBay from an UK dealer.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
You mean here?

http://www.amazon.com/PowerSkin-Pro...7MMM/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1361315164&sr=8-6

The AC adapter issue (which I have with mine on USB as well) is just that if the case is trying to charge your phone and the PowerSkin is totally dead, it keeps toggling on and off as it keeps running out of battery. Once it develops enough of a charge to run your phone as well, it stops toggling. Or you can turn off the PowerSkin and then it charges each properly... if your USB port has enough power.

The loose connection is a valid issue for some people, and one that apparently their customer support is aware of. As even the negative reviewers say, they have good customer service and will replace or refund if you end up with a lemon.

The loose phone issue... I haven't experienced. Fits my SGS4G snugly.

That to say... when I do case my SGS4G, it's in my PowerSkin. :) The issue they don't mention which is inherent to any enclosed case is that, if anything goes nuts on the battery, it gets hot. Like, I've seen 46C before while UV and only running 200-800. :) But that's screwed up apps going nuts, not the fault of the case.
