Otterbox FTW.

Yes there's nothing better than a sleek case or even naked phone. But in the real world sheet happens. It's basically a funny farm around here and when dealing with animals phones tend to fly out of hands at the strangest times!

I literally threw my GS3 down a tall staircase because a cat was sleeping on the step next to the top. I stumbled and my phone when flying because I needed that hand to grab the handrail. The phone when up high, bounced off the ceiling and hit probably 10 steps before coming to rest on the floor (epoxy covered concrete, hard as a runway!). It landed face down. It made a really loud noise like a beaver tail slap on a mill pond! I figured it was done in, but nope, all working fine not a scratch! That was an otterbox commuter. If that phone were not in a case it would have been trashed.

As for screen protectors never liked them. They always change the look of the phone and with these high DPI screens they make it look sparkly or blurry to me. The tempered glass ones may be different (never tried those) but I've been pretty lucky over the years. When time comes to pass my phones on the new owners often ask me if the phone was even used! LOL

I did manage to get a scratch on an iphone 4 though. Not over the display but next to the home button. Subtle, but there. Have no idea how that happened. Always had a cheap case on it though, bought for $4 at a flea market and seemed to protect the phone OK but always kept it holstered.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] etham3:
I have the Spigen Slim-Armor (Red) and Neo Hybrid (Red) along with a Spigen Ultra Crystal screen protector.

The two cases are very sleek and eye catching. The Slim-Armor case has a very solid feel to it in your hands and is certainly the more protective of the two. It has a TPU top and bottom with a red plastic shell in the middle that covers about 80% of the back and sides. I call it my Ferrari case. The Neo Hybrid is slimmer profile and the feel of the back of the case (the black part) has a sort of matte texture to it, its very nice. The Neo Hybrid case has a red plastic shell on all sides of the phone with a TPU sleeve and back for the phone itself.

The screen protector, although I messed up the application slightly (one damn air bubble at the top right that I can't seem to push out!!!) is very clear and looks almost as if I have no protector at all. It looks practically like the glass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Spider ultra crystal screen protector. Which is extremely clear. And a poetic atmosphere case. It's awesome.

I have had a change of heart...after reading and researching, I'm gonna take my Ghost Armor back and get a refund. I think the thing that pushed me in the other direction was I took a close look at the GA on my S3. It's pretty beat up. Gonna go with the Glas.t
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shadowfiber:
I had tried two cases, both originally from AT&T, but they were abolsutely terrible.

First was: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/cases/sku6580408.html

The Incipio: The rubber on the edge would peel off and not actually protect the phone.

Second was: http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/cases/sku6590269.html

The Ballistic: This clamshell type had the rubber outage for a double layer protection; however with the design and snug fit (which is both good and bad). It tends to peel at the edges, and I noticed with my Zagg screen protector it forced it off on some edges.

I ended up with: http://www.iskin.com/samsung/galaxy/exo/

It is supposed to arrive today. Here's hoping!

I can post a review when I get it tonight if anyone is curious.

I use the otterbox defender when I'm at work, I work in construction ( fttp & industrial networks) and naked and free the rest of the time. I hate screen protectors and cases but I have to have my phone with me all the time for work so the defender keeps it safe till I get home. :)

dont know if anybody mentioned POETIC brand yet, but Ive loved them since finding the Slimline case for my Nexus 10.

They also make a great case for the S4 called the PALETTE. Its also only 5$ shipped on Amazon and ebay

look up youtube videos too, its very slim, light, and seems to do the job as well as any other case! not to mention cheap as hell!

I received my case a whole week and a half earlier than expected (got it yesterday).

The case feels awesome. It looks nice too on my black S4. It fits perfectly well. Overall, I like it a lot.

I got the Neo Hybrid because I felt that the case was too flimsy to protect my device from drops (like three feet high, pocket height). I just got back from RadioShack after buying the Samsung Protective Cover+. Do you think this will protect from drops of anywhere from 3-6 feet?

Thanks!

These screen protectors feel really good. I've found that they don't get dirty, and feel really, really nice. If you buy the premium ones, which is three for like 5 bucks. Search up Tech Armor on Amazon. I can't put a link, because this is my first reply. xD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] b.walker36:
I got a Ringke Slim and I am loving it. Its very lightweight and lips above the screen so that when you put it down the screen isn't on the table.

For screen protector I use the Ionic matte anti glare. They are great quality but like all anti glare they do take away from the screen a tad, i may purchase regular ones.

12$ total for 3 screen protectors and a case is awesome though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fix-this!:
i just bought the standard at&t lcd protectors "3 pack" and a black bodyglove flex case. both work fine for me, had them for my note 2 as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gorgy76:
OBLIQ made in Korea. 15 bucks at Amazon. I don't really expect it to be this good in relation to the price but when I received it, I was surprised of how good the build and quality is. To each has its own taste of how they like a certain case based on materials, craftmanship and design but so far I really like mine. With regards to the included screen protector it is still good and decent and has pre cut out for the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] haloimplant:
I picked up an S4 today and got this 'Affinity' clear skin for it. I like that the buttons are uncovered, it's clear so you can see the pretty texture on the back come through, and finally smudges and fingerprints don't seem to show up on it.

Album: http://imgur.com/a/YPCPn#0

The last 2 pics compare to the S4's great-granddaddy my S1 I9000M. I used that phone bare for almost 3 years but I'm afraid there's just no way the S4 could stand up the abuse that thing took, it is an absolute tank, so I wanted something that would protect the edges of the S4 in case of a drop. Interesting thing is in the side profile shot you can see the S4 with the skin is about the same thickness as the bare S1.

A minor flaw is that the camera cutout is not perfectly centered properly, but it's good enough.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] songsongsong:
in was also curious about the spigen ultra thin air case but opted for the poetic palette. just got it and I must say I am thoroughly impressed at its minimal yet effective design. it also adds very little weight and bulk to the phone so you can still enjoy it's form factor while having the security of a hard case. only thing lacking in screen protection

Hey, I have install the Unofficial Slim Bean for my HTC Evo 4g, so far it is working great but I had a quick question if anyone knows the answer. Just in case here is the link to the Rom thread:

I read somewhere that if there is no zeros then it is on and working, is that true? If so, I do not have any apps or anything that runs swap so does this rom have swap install stock? I just want to make sure my swap is working correctly. Thank you!

Not sure if this is possible but if it is, I don't exactly know how to go about it. I'd like for beats to turn on only when I'm playing sound through the speakers.

Other HTC roms in the past have had a toggle in the statusbar. Although I found out recently that sound out of the speakers was actually lower with beats on. It did sound deeper but not as loud and it's a pretty noticeable difference. On the other hand it makes headphones louder as you'd expect. I did install the Wildman kernel do I don't know if that has anything to do with it but I didn't turn beats off until after I flashed the kernel.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flupke70:
Hi,

I was wondering if it's possible to modify the layout of every app that are using the official Android Holo theme to move the action bar that is located on the top of the screen to the bottom near the navigation bar. I think of this as a possible mod that could be flashed, but really I don't know if it is possible. I would find this more comfortable since our phones tend to size up and thereby, reaching the opposite corner of the screen with one hand makes me stretch it numerous times a day that I'm afraid of the possible evolution of mankind's hands(or maybe just one)

Thank you

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiley87:
I have read through other posts regarding crackling, yet the majority of people came to the conclusion that it was headphone related.

After putting the volume past 60-70% the music starts to crackle, whether it be with stock headphones or others. Bass needs to be turned down (using Poweramp) otherwise it really does get annoying.

Is this to do with the hardware, the software or possibly the Poweramp app? It is incredibly annoying seeing as though I use my phone in very large amounts for music usage but could put up with it if it would be fixed in a later firmware update, however if this is a hardware issue then i'm unsure as to what to do.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiley87:
So is this a hardware issue? Great phone yes, but I cannot warrant having spending so much money on a phone that can't even go beyond fifty percent volume, absolutely ridiculous to think this wasn't found before release.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidrob:
At this point I'm not sure. In this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258831 its not quite conclusive (yet) whether it is a hardware issue or not, but the general consensus seems to be that it is a hardware issue. I'm listening to them right now and I can hear the crackling occasionally. If you use headphones over a certain level of sensitivity (16 ohms) then it seems that there will be crackling, the ones I'm using now are 15 ohms headphones (Sony Mh1c) , and the crackling is there occasionally.

Im not sure what to do because apart from this issue (which is ridiculous and should not be the case with a flagship), I'm happy with everything else except the volume rocker being a bit loose. I suppose i might just have to get headphone that are less sensitive....:(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inolvidable:
AFAIK the issue has not been reported on any GT-I9500 (Wolfson DAC). Issue or not, I love Wolfson and music is for me the most important extra in a phone, so I ordered the Octa version of S4. I hope I got it right.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trenzterra:
If it crackles on the stock earphones then I would think you have definitely gotten a lemon, considering 'normal' sets should only distort with low impedance IEMs.

Would suggest you take it back for an exchange.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psycovirus:
On an I9505, there's an issue with crackling at certain conditions for me.

When using stock earphones, there's no cracking at any volume. Same for a-Jays Three and Creative Headphones, no crackling.

However, when I plug in a splitter (came with a-Jays Three) and use two earphones simultaneously, crackling kicks in at above 50% volume.

It maybe because the current required of both earphones is too high for S4 to handle or it might be a software issue.

This does not happen on my previous Galaxy S3 with similar setup.
