I think it is worth it too. For $30, it's quite disappointing to have to modify the case yourself, BUT, the quality of the rest of the case compared to what else is available makes it worth the small modification.

I bought an Incipio Dual layer case from the store the day I bought the phone and the quality of this case and the fit are miles above and beyond the Incipio. It didn't fit well, the rubbery under-layer did not grip the phone and was always flopping around. The Cygnett fits perfectly and almost "snaps" onto the lip of the phone, holding it perfectly. It is also much more rigid and I feel the there is a good amount of protection there.

The buttons require a bit of extra force, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, just something I need to adjust to. It's just a trade-off from having the rigid under-layer.

I think what I am going to do is use a small drill bit to round out the left and right edges of the charger hole instead of trying to carve it up with a knife.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
You don't have to do that. Just scrape the left and right side with a knife to shave it down. A drill bit might make it look bad
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ricktat:
The charger hole is easy to correct as mentioned.

My only other complaints would be that the power button is hard to press(my volumes feels fine) and the headphone jack hole is kinda small.

Those are the only areas that I can gripe about and are not a deal breaker.

The case itself, especially in the Orange and blue has a very unique look.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
The power button is a pain.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Can anyone who has this case comment on the quality of the included screen protector? I'd love it if it was the Impactology protector I saw on their site, but I'm sure it's a cheapie. Anyway, is it any good?

I just ordered the gray case for a white GS4 I will be buying next Saturday. I want a screen protector, but I don't want to spend a ton on one since I've gone without one forever on my GS2 without a scratch. I'm concerned Gorilla Glass 3 isn't quite a scratch "resistant" as they claim.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
Had the spigen and removed it and I am using the supplied one it's Crystal ear. Can't even feel it on there. Easy to apply ...no bubbles usually I get few. Easy to line up cause cutouts are a good size.. you'll be happy with it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Spunjah413:
Yeah the power button is a tad on the hard side. Other than that I think this case is fantastic.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trmiv:
Anyone compared this to the UAG case? Is this more protective? Also how does it compare in protection to the otterbox commuter?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
Never had a uag but it's definitely better quality then the otterbox commuter. I like it better then my galaxy s3 ballistic. Hated those corners.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] strossus84:
I take my comment back about having to shave the charge port. I was taking the phone in and out the case and I noticed that the phone must be centered or else it would seem like the charger would not fit. It's still a tight fit but its doable without shaving it. Am thinking about getting a glass screen protector as the lip is really deep and I would like to bring the screen up higher.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trmiv:
How grippy is this case? So many cases are protective but super slippery to hold.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hollisterryann:
At first it seemed slippery but now it feels better.

I got a reply from Cygnett about the charging port
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Siriack:
Don't buy from their web site

Back in May I placed an order using a 20% discount coupon. When it was time to pay, it seemed that they used another payment processor that charged my card but never updated my "orders" nor received a confirmation email. Needless to mention that my discount was not reflected on the total (and yes, the code was accepted)

I tried contacting them and no replies. I had to contact my Credit Card to dispute the charge.

Guys, this case can be as good as it seems to be, but, from my experience, no NOT buy directly from them nor contact their customer support. Their online sales platform uses a third-party payment provider that charged my Card but never informed them on the actual purchase.

Too bad Cygnett. Next time try selling directly from Amazon or use Paypal.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] yudancha:
I ordered my WorkMate case directly from the Cygnett website on May 21 and received it on May 30. I didn't have any problem with my payment. I did pay full price tho'. The only negative is that although a tracking number was provided, my shipment tracking information was never updated after it arrived in Hong Kong via DHL. Other than that it's a far cry better than the Case Mate Tough Case that I bought as a temporary case until the Cygnett arrived. The Case Mate does not fit nearly as well as does the WorkMate case nor do i feel that it would protect my phone very well.

My 2 cents
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Siriack:
Just an update on my previous post:

Cygnett never replied back to any of me emails regarding the "lost" purchase from their payment processor. My Credit Card issued the credit on my behalf.

Their Customer Service must be really bad.

Returned

Bought this case a while ago and I returned it last week. Don't get me wrong the case was nice and protected your phone. I returned it because it was to bulky for my liking. Also I received the model that the charger did not go in (I heard they fixed that). I didn't really have that much grip when i was holding it, It kept on slipping out of my hands. Now I am using the Neo Hybrid case and I love it!! Hope this helps.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MamomaN:
based on ur experience .. Cygnett WorkMate Case VS Urban Armor UAG ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
I've had both, and I'm sticking with the UAG. It's slimmer, offers decent protection (probably not as good as the WorkMate), has better tactile feedback with the buttons, and looks better to me. I got the orange one. I had the light grey WorkMate, and it quickly discolored from dirt and natural body oil on my hands, so I got my money back for it. While I liked its level of protection, I didn't like the discoloration and button feedback.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MamomaN:
Anyone knows any store i can find this case on ?

But with fast shipping not 21 days
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MamomaN:
no one knows ?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
Walmart site to store.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MamomaN:

Any idea about the shipping?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MamomaN:
Anyone tried this case with spg glas ??

It fits good same as UAG ?

btw. Please i still need the gray one

I cant find it at any online fast shipping store

I found on mobilefun but the gray one was out of stock
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] h3lluvaninjuhneer:
A word of warning about the grey WorkMate: I had one but returned it due to the fact that it was really discolored/soiled, and I couldn't find anything that would clean it well.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Spunjah413:
Yep stay away from Grey. I've had it since release and it is pretty discolored.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] manast:
I am looking to buy either the Cygnett Urban Shield Carbon Fibre or the Brushed Aluminium Case for the S4 and had a few doubts.

Do either of these cases affect the wireless signals strength? I assume the Brushed Aluminium will do that but does the Carbon Fibre block signals as well?

Also, do both these cases protect the camera lens from scratches when put on a hard floor?

I don't continue to purchase from Cygnett.

I bought my case from Cygnett 3 months ago.

That was the first time and last time I purchased a Cygnett case.

2 posters asked questions about Cygnett cases so I researched some info for them and posted several links that may help them out.

This Case has held up and protect my phone really well. I have the blue version and the colors are fine. Had the Commuter but this case its superior.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Biker1:
I have the Cygnett WorkMate Evolution case in Bright Blue, which I haven't used in a month or so. I've just taken a couple of pics tonight of the discoloration that the medium grey material has sustained. While it doesn't affect the protectiveness of the case, it does affect the aesthetics.

The discoloration of the case has occurred where my hand/fingers grip the back of the case the most.

When the Cygnett was my edc, the discoloration gradually occurred over the course of approx. 6 weeks. It looked great when it was new, but not that great after only a month and a half.

I might take advantage of the Cygnett warranty, and appears that I'll have to go through Newegg.

Edit:

I had previously sent an email to Cygnett by filling out their online inquiry form prior to purchase, which I never received a response to. I'm not sure which country the email was sent to, but I just sent another email to their US address I found on their contact page here:

http://us.cygnett.com/contacts

regarding the issue I'm currently having. Hopefully I'll have better luck receiving a response, which will resolve the current discoloration issue.

The Workforce is a very protective case, it's just that I'd like it to look as good as it protects, especially after only 6 weeks of use.

Update:

I didn't receive a response to my email so I called the phone number for Cygnett's US office.

Spoke with a very nice rep, and explained my issue.

She is sending out a replacement shell, and gave me her personal email address.

I sent her my shipping info, and she responded that she just shipped out the replacement.

Once you speak to a rep, Excellent customer service:good:

Not really. They are telling the truth that there is 2GB of RAM installed. Just hate that almost half of it isn't usable by the intended purpose...

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
It isnt just the Nexus 10 that has this shared memory, most phones and tablets do. There are specific chipsets that have their own dedicated vram, like Tegra 3. Having dedicated vram chips has to do with how the memory controller is designed in the chipset architecture.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trace1er:
Just received the new Galaxy S4 yesterday. After playing around with it for a day, I must say that I'm quite indifferent about it. I don't consider it a huge upgrade from the LGOG at all... Here's some initial thoughts:

Display - I kept reading all the hype about the 1080p Super AMOLED display on the S4 and had very high expectations. It's OK at best. A pentile-matrix display is still no match for full RGB LCD pixels like on the OG, even at 720p. The S4's autobrightness is also set much too dim, and I find myself having to manually slide the brightness level up and down to fit the surrounding lighting.

Build Quality/Appearance - The LGOG definitely feels like a higher quality handset than the S4 when you compare the two. The button layout and location of the ports are pretty much identical (which are some of the things that kept me from getting the HTC One instead). However, the glass back and diamond pattern of the LG just looks better, plain and simple.

OS Skin - I find that LG's Android skin is much more customizable than Samsung's Touchwiz. Using the LGOG stock out of the box feels like you're using a custom ROM from the XDA forums, there are so many customization options.

Performance - This is where the LGOG really shines. I have yet to find anything that makes the LGOG lag. Every animation and action done on the phone looks like it's running at 60fps. Switching between apps is instantaneous and the user experience is a pleasure. With all the beefed up internals of the S4 (higher processor and GPU clock speeds), I still saw some lagginess when performing certain actions. This was something I was not expecting on the S4, but I am pretty sure it has to do with all the new bells and whistles Samsung tried to cram into the phone (Air View, Air Gesture, Smart Stay, Smart Scroll, etc). Bottom line, the S4 benchmarks might be higher, but in daily use the LGOG is a smoother user experience.

Battery Life - This is the only thing that is still up in the air, as I have only had the S4 for one day. I expect the S4 to be better in this category though since it has a higher capacity battery, and judging from existing reviews.

Hope this post helps anyone that is on the fence between these 2 phones! I'd be happy to answer questions.

It would be awesome if you can do some sort of video comparison. (Don’t have to be really professional one… Just a simple video) If you have some time to kill.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jammol:
I don't expect the S4 to last longer. Why? There's too much extra crap in there and a bigger screen, hence the bigger battery. Its probably going to be the same, if not worse.

I thought about getting that phone, but after previewing it and the HTC one, I had to stay with my LGOG and my Nexus 4.

I hate my S3 now since I got the Nexus and then LG.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] trace1er:
I used to have a Nexus 4 also, and like the OG much better (capacitive buttons, LTE, SD card slot). Especially now that the OG has fully functioning AOSP roms. The only thing I don't like is how HOT the phone gets during heavy use or internet browsing using mobile network data. I'm sure the high temps negatively affect battery life.

It still stands that I am largely unimpressed by the Galaxy S4 when compared to the OG. Even their cameras are comparable in normal outdoor daylight. I have not tested low light yet, but pretty much all phone cameras suck in low light except for a few (Nokia 808, HTC One, Lumia 920).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sprke:
I got my S4 last weekend and have to say I agree with OP, after couple days of using the S4 couldn't wait to get back to my LGOG with CM10.1. The S4 display was disappointing to me and it was extremely laggy, much more then my S3.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] DesertHawk:
Are you talking about Quad or Eight Core SIV? I have the Quad one and I still prefer the DNA or the LGOG. Yes it is an LG so rarely gets updates but aside from that LGOG is much better.

Sell the SIV and use your LGOG

[AT&T LG Optimus G] WarEagleUS:
IPS displays offer awesome viewing angles, colors, saturation, more light viewing, and battery life. That Super AMOLED is an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) that gives you truer blacks than any LCD technology could hope to (even plasma isn't up to par). It offers great colors,viewing angles, brightness, saturation, etc and better battery life in a screen tech vs screen tech heads up. LG is great with their phones and has really stepped up since my last ATT Phone, the Shine (man I loved that phone). Their support is there and have stepped it up with updates for all their products across the board. Kind of hard to compare technology of a phone seven to nine months old to a newer phone. I actually lag my LGOG using LG's own keyboard on games like RoB, MWOH, and FFAB. Of course many SGS2 would freeze before I even rooted and ROM'd, my LGOG isn't freezing though it can lag and stutter (not rooted on my new one or anything yet).

LG doesn't give us a removable battery here but that's not a killer to me. The screen also is too easy to break (mine, on a brand new one only two weeks old that was rooyed and freegee'd actually had a crack go across the bottom of my screen and it was never dropped or anything.) My SGS2 was dropped and barely had a chip in it and that was on the side.

The SGS4 is thin and plasticky to me. I don't mind thinness (the LGOG is about the same as my SGS2) but it's about as slippery as my LGOG and costs way more.

The screen on the SGS4 uses a diamond tile matrix overlay on top of the OLED (AMOLED) LED backing. It's not terrible and is actually better than the SGS3 version. However the ppi is greatly enhanced but Samsung really doesn't need that type of overlay.

In all the LGOG feels better and responds better than the SGS4 in my opinion. To me it seems LG did better at optimizing their software for the LGOG than Samsung did with their phone, hence the lag.

Hi Everyone,

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
after using franco kernel, you have to reflash your rom then kernel. franco kernel hides tweaks inits ramdisk. flashing another kernel on top will not change this ramdisk, so you have to flash your rom first(no wiping anything).

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vjales:
Could you clarify this for me, If in the future I need to do it? So, after leaving franco kernel, i.e. If I'm using franco kernel and wanna go back to completely stock again; before flashing stock I'll need to re-flash the current rom that I'm using, to re-flash the rom's kernel and this way replace the ramdisk to the stock from rom? If I'm wrong, please correct me; you guys are awesome!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yes, kinda. reflashing your rom will replace francos ramdisk. all the other kernels use anykernel, so dont have ramdisk included. generally, its only after using franco kernel do you want to do this, the other kernels you can flash right over each other. anykernel kernels grab the available ramdisk. theres plenty of stock/aosp rooted roms here on xda, any of them should work for you.
