I've got 2 UAGs for my s4 (orange and slate) - solid cases, good protection without excess bulk. Buttons work well, have no issues with USB cables since the opening is large enough.

UAG case

I bought my UAG case at mini in the box.

It is a very solid case.

I bought it with the xmass action for only 1.27 pounds. :angel:

Agree with how slippery it is, and it's really wide compared to other cases. If you want a solid case with grip, get the speck candyshell grip case. Never getting any other case for any phones I might get in the future.

I have the Speck candyshell grip, spigen slim armor, and caseology tpu matte case. Let's just say, as soon as I got the speck, I found the only case I'm ever gon a use for the rest of my life. A bit pricey for a phone case, but worth every penny.

Just got the body glove tactic case. Really liking this case, and dare is say, I like it more than the speck candyshell Grip. OK, they're both equal to me, and I prefer one over the other, depending on how I'm feeling, and what day it is.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tikay00:
Just got the blue speck candyshell grip case. Candyshell grips are easily my favorite cases for any phone, and had to get the blue. I'm a case freak lol. Looks beautiful and no better feeling on a phone than a fresh speck case.

---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

And a caseology you case. Don't get the Griffin survivor case. Way too bulky, and there's too much space between the attachable screen protector and the actual screen. Also, the screen protector makes the display look faded out, and bad quality.

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:59 AM ----------

Don't know whether you got your spigen yet or not, bit don't get it. Too slippery and too wide, IMO. Get a speck candyshell grip.

I either use neo-hybrid cases with rubber and TPU... or screen protectors (the thick ones) or Spigen :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] (MEDS):
I've got the Spigen slim armor case. It's a pretty good case: aesthetically wonderful, and durable.the only thing that isn't to like about it is that the edges of the case are almost completely flush with the surface of the screen. Personally I would like to have a little more clearance if I ended up dropping my phone face down.

(The slate metal color goes very nicely with the black mist design.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] samdsox:
I have now gone through 4 cases.

1. Tpu boxwave- came malformed and they are sending me a new one. meh case- cost $3

2. Spigen Slim Armor- Looks and feels nice, but scratches very very easily and has almost no protection. -returned it $12 original cost for price mistake.

3. Incipio dualpro, got it for free from a friend when he heard i got this phone. Good protection, ok look, catches lint easily. -Free and not sure of real price

4. And my favorite that I am using right now, trident aegeis, cost $20 on sale from a phone case site, Two pieces of high level protection, thick rubber that doesn't catch too much lint, plastic attachment that fits well, high lip for front drop (but doesn't get in my way), case looks good, doesn't add too much bulk for the amount of protection i get. Highly recommended

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kinubic:
Case arrived. It is beautiful !! Got the navy blue. The back cover has the same pattern on the s4 and hss a rough feel to it. The inside is covered with a suede like matterial its soft to the touch.

The front of th case has sme sort of.pattern gives of a rubbery texture does.not feel cheap.. the case snaps on perfectly with the magnetic clip. only issue i have is power button slot is not accuretly aligned with the phone its off by about 2mm which makes it feel a bit hard to press the button but its fine.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BJ8VS7G/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

At first thought that the case was too small. The trick is to line it up so the head phone jack, mic, IR, etc are all square and then it fits perfect.

All these cases a very nice, but what about those of us that need a belt clip holster? The only 2 I have seen are from Seidio and Otter box Defender series. I'm using the Seidio surface case with belt clip and ordered a Seidio screen protector
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ttnuagmada:
Got a black Spigen Slim Armor case. I do like it quite a bit, but like others have mentioned, the lip is flush with the face. I got a GLAS.tR SLIM for it as well, which is extremely nice. You can't even tell it's a screen protector save for the small gap at the edges of the face, which would be covered by a lot of cases.

Also, the plastic shell part of the Spigen case seems to be a total hand oil magnet.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kinubic:
Thanks!!! Looking forward.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gyxter:
Wow the cases suggested in this thread are just way too expensive.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] BillzillaAus:
Got an Otterbox Commuter for mine shortly after I got the phone. I'm really happy with it and this morning it (probably) paid for itself as the phone decided to fall out of my jacket pocket. onto concrete. Made a little bounce but it was obviously fine.

I also like how it squares up the shape of the case so the phone turns sideways in my pocket less.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] psm321:
Can anyone help me figure out what cases I should be looking at? I've read through this entire thread and followed many of the links, but am pretty overwhelmed by all the different options. My preferences in order of priority:

- available now (getting the phone in the next few days, want protection for it)

- good protection obviously (I tend to drop my current phone a lot) - I think this means having a lip too

- I need good tactile feedback on the buttons (power/volume), so something that either covers them with a new button or is thin enough to not make a recess that I have to reach into

- some grippiness would be nice (the S4 I've seen feels pretty slippery and I'm already going to be having trouble with the huge phone, plus I tend to place my phone on not-quite-level surfaces)

- kickstand (ideally both orientations, but at least landscape)

- compatibility with glass screen protectors (unless you think it's a bad idea... recommendations on this front appreciated)

- small size/thin would be nice, but that's my last priority as long as it's not ridiculous

I realize it's asking a lot but if anyone knows of a case that meshes with a lot of my preferences I'd really appreciate a heads-up. Thanks for reading regardless :) So far I'm thinking the i-Blason case maybe, but more input would be good.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Yes there are some disturbances in status bar. They come and go and not sure why. Switching to 2x mode should completely eliminate it though if you want. The build.prop edits should speed things up a bit. A better scroll, better colors and shading.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Yamato..

Download the "yamato_panel.txt" file and drop it into "/data/local/tmp/" then reboot.

Build.prop...

Go to "/system/build.prop" file.

Open it to edit it's text.

Add or copy and paste the lines provided in the OP into the "/system/build.prop file.

There is a download provided for the build.prop so you can easily copy and paste from it.

or

Use your favorite build.prop editor and add them through there.

Reason for no flashable zip?

I don't like messing with others build.prop file as I don't have a good uninstall zip for that if they don't like it.

I didn't feel the need for a yamato zip either because it's just one text file you drop in one file.

However, if it would help, I could make one. I would like everyone that would like to try this out to be able to do it. If there is an issue with installing for anyone, just l let me know and I will help you out!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mightybryan:
Yes please create a flashable zip because I'm having troubles.

[MENTION=4324598]razz1[/MENTION]

So, after applying I get a lot of...visual artifacts. Scattered across my status bar. Not sure which tweak did it add I asked all of them and then rebooted (I renamed the lib, commented out the line in the egl conf file, added the yamato to /data, and also applied the build.prop tweaks)

But these artifacts will randomly show up and go away. A little annoying, abd makes me think something's wrong. In the screenshot they're blue, but the dots that show up are white most of the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Here's another. A little harder to see though because the dots were white this time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
Yes. This is what happens when you run the 4x MSAA. When you use 2x it's no longer there. To be honest I'm not sure why it's there or what it is. When I was first setting up yamato it was really bad until I changed a setting for floating frame buffer objects. It is annoying but unfortunately thats all I have right now. Wish I could make it go away.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] razz1:
