I just ordered the spigen tough armor and glass screen protector from androidarea.com for $38 shipped.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] the_agima:
I'm getting my S5 very soon to replace my S3 and I'm too looking for the ideal case.

- I don't need extreme protection

- I don't need bulky case

- I don't need screen protection

- A case with holster (no pouch or such) would be preferable

- Stylish case (ok I agree, that is a personnal matter!)

I've looked here on the forum for ideas and checked the majors case makers to see what they have to offer. It seem that most of the cases I really like don't have holster to pair with.

- I really like Spigen's line of cases : Tough Armor, Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor.

- Urban Armor have been a long time favorite of mine.

- Otterbox Commuter seems OK but look a bit bulky to my taste.

- Ballistic Urbanite and Tough Jacket seem to be good choices too.

They all have very slick designs, they offer a relatively good protection without been bulky. but I would prefer having an holster for the S5. I can't always put it in a pocket, and the S5 is already a bit bigger than my S3. Do you know if one of those case would fit into ans holster from a different company?

So If I look for cases with an holster option, I've found those interresting :

- Otterbox Defender. A bit too bulky for my needs, but a proven case.

- Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx. Again, might be too bulky for my need.

- Element case (Recon Chroma/CF/Blackops). Really nice looking cases. Way too overprice tho.

- Seidio (Dylex, Surface, Convert). I haven't looked closely for them yet. Design seems OK.

One case that really got my interest tho is the i-Blason Prime : a kickstand that is part of the case, doesn't seem too bulky, holster included and to my taste, nice looking. I don't know if it would make a difference but from the look of the pictures, the speaker hole wouldn't touch the table surface and the sound would not be muted down....

After looking for some reviews about the case, it seems that there is many version of the same case from different company. For instance the one that came up often are "Fosmon Sturdy" and "Evercase Robust". Looking at the pictures and descriptions, they seems exactly the same.

Are they copies of the same product (with or without the same quality) or simply the same case but rebranded? Does someone knows?

Did some of you got the i-Blason Prime case (or Fosmon/Evercase version)? Did you like it?

I once have Spigen® Crystal Clear case.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
damn homie, from what height did it fall and cracked that little ? and also why dont you use tempered glass screen protector?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] huhu1030:
I dont think that tempered glass would have changed anything. The impact seems become on the corner.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Eris _2.1_2010:
I had one ordered and it's sitting at home. I drive for a living and cannot get thru home very often. Bad thing is it isn't the glass that broke. It was the LCD and it was only like a 4 ft drop.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
yeah, and said that even a tempered glass protector wouldnt have kept it protected :/ i thought the S5 screen was tougher than this
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Eris _2.1_2010:
Yea my S4 took more hits and falls before the screen broke on it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] huhu1030:
Did someone find a case which has the same feeling that the back of the S5 ?

Is the commuter that much bigger? Saw a Spigen Tough Armour on an iPhone the other day it looked quite slim.

edit: looks like quite a difference judging from dimensions listed on amazon. Hmm..
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] darkfangex5:
I have this case and i absolutely hate it. Reasons being its extremely unergonomic and bulky for the kind of protection it offers. I Still have it but I upgraded to a Diztronic case. Now dont mistake me for trying to advertise that case its just i needed something that felt allot better in the hand and when you have a phone as large as the s5 (heck even the note3 both of which i had this neo hybrid) it makes it much harder to deal with when using one hand. I needed something that kept a curve so it didnt feel like i was holding a deck of cards in my hand. Overall Its just me but i recommend against it, it looks nice and all but its just a terrible case for ergonomics and every day usage.

on the flip side this is the best case if you want all looks AND keeps the water resistance, while NOT murdering your cell signal because its metal.

i got the clear UAG case

http://cdn.androidorigin.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Samsung-Galaxy-S555-300x175.jpg?ae79e3

great case but i recommend chosing something other then the clear its a little slippery at the back
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ElimElim:
can anyone help me with a case of my s5?

i currently have the Caseology Samsung Galaxy S5 case http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IU1UHPY

and its great except it still exposes some of the front silver bezel on the edge.. does anyone know or a case like the caseology but also covers bezel?

I have a Tech 21 case from Best Buy, but I've been eyeing the Spigen Neo Hybrid. I prefer minimalist cases.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] philiptibbs:
I have the Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx and love it. I had a Survivor case from Walmart but hated it because the sound was muffled and so was the speakers. Now I can hear everyone clear and they can hear me clear and it has a 7' fall protection.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] blackknightavalon:
ZeroLemon Razor is a pretty good case.

The Spigen Tough armor Case is what I have. It's slim enough to not make the phone bulky like an Otterbox does but it protects the phone quite nicely :) I also have an Otterbox for my GS5 and the Spigen is the case I use. Lol
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] UnboundDemon:
I got the RingkeSLIM

Living in south america, you can't order a case online so i had to go scouting places and i found the blue dot ringke slim, since i got the blue s5 it was perfect, and so far it has saved my phone from a lot of scratches and falls :) awesome case :fingers-crossed:

Spigen Neo Hybrid......

Just got my S5 in Canada from BELL, model SM-G900W8, 16GB in white. Already rooted and cleaning house. Ordered this case from BlueShop.ca

Always used a Siedio case but thought I'd give the Spigen Neo Hybrid case a try. I got mine in RED

Quality and workmanship should be good from Spigen. #myfirstpost

i purchased the Verus Iron Shield in Blue , cant wait for it to arrive .
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
that case looks amazing but its on the heavy side
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
yes buddy alittle bulk wont do any harm, plus it gives better hold in my opinion the feel in the hand gets better ! will have to wait another week or 10 days for it to arrive shipping is taking long for me since i dont live in the U.S .
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] hipi66:
Got Cellularline Fine for a very good price.

It's good, gripy, fits well, is almost unnoticeable, but it doesn't protect the camera cover, so I've ordered Ringke Slim.

Will post some images and how it feels when it arrives if someone's interested.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] con100:
I had that case for a week or so. It was my favorite case I've used during that time. I dropped it and bent the frame all up. I returned it to Amazon with the intention of getting another one to replace it. But when I put my Spigen tough armor back on I noticed my signal improved. With the Verus case I noticed at work where I don't have a strong signal it would say I had no data connection. When I switched back to the Spigen I always have at least 2 bars of 3g in most spots. In the break room depending where I sit I get 1 bar of lte. With the Verus case it would say I have no data or a couple bars of really slow 3g.

Also driving to work at some spots I would lose data connection while listening to Spotify where I wouldn't with other cases.

If you have a strong 4G LTE connection you won't have an issue with this case. Another thing is I don't know if maybe the frame being bent up had anything to do with it.

I'm going to reorder the case soon and see if the bent frame somehow caused it. It was easily the best looking case I've ever owned though. The aluminum band made the phone have a premium feel and it felt really nice in the hand.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
dayum i hope its not that bad for me.. < i always pay attention to the Customer Reviews on amazon before buying the product and it has a 4.6/5 and i find that is pretty amazing , plus i wanted some good looking Case spigen seems to be to mainstream for me so i thought i will get something different !
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Lympe:
Spigen ultra fit for me. Metal slate. Looks very nice and slim of course.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Rubberdude88:
GOT THE CASE!!!

Excellent quality. The lines are tight and true - it exposes a millimetre or two of the chrome band around the face and it accents really nice. When I set the phone down, it feels... absorbing (thud) - and grips wherever it is set down. Heart rate monitor functions properly. Charging door opens and receives as intended by Samsung. Silver volume and power buttons function well. Headphone opening is good size and would receive all headphones. Sound quality may even be kinda improved as now the vibrations of the back cover are no longer heard :)

Very happy with this product and would recommend this Spigen Neo case for their Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ridearoundsolo:
I got the tech 21 impact tactical smokey color and tech 21 shield screen protector and couldn't be any happier. The screen protector is a great alternative to glass ones
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] hipi66:
I received the Ringke Slim dot black. It fits great, offers protection for camera lens and it's quite grippy. Now my S5 is completely protected with this case and zagg glass with which I'm also completely satisfied. ?

Using a fake neo hybrid and am satisfied. Bit bulky but great protection and looks smart, people keep asking about my phone not realizing it has a case on! Might have to get the iron shield though
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
the Iron Shield is a big win trust me ! :P i got positive comments about it , it is a very sleek case the Comfiness of holding it is okay! why i got it !? because it is the sexiest looking case that is out for the S5 in my opinion!

I've just buy a incipio dualpro shine case... Can't wait to use it!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gspears:
I got a Ghostek case in gray for 3.99 from Amazon. It is a two piece that fits well, looks good, is pretty tough, and has a kickstand. I really like it, especially for the price. I don't know if they are still making it or what. I use it and a glass screen protector and am very happy with it so far.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] griffin_1:
I really like this case and i was planning on getting one but i saw on the reviews people mentioning decrease in signal strength or gps. Do you,or anyone else with one, noticed anything? Wouldn't that decrease hurt battery life because the phone keeps looking for a stronger signal or not really?

This case is a bit more expensive and not as much of a slim look and feel i was going for now, but seems great i might get it if it doesn't affect signal that much and if reviews keep positive.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
no signal loss for me buddy, i dont know any negative points about the case just one tiny that is the charging port, When you want to open up the charging port you need alittle bit of long finger nails so that you can reach it since the cutout is abit deep just a tiny But oh well that is no big deal ... the feel is okay it does no way add to much bulk and to be all honest i bought the case for its sexiness and is it a sleek sexy good looking case ?! HECK YES it is and all the frames are good looking i chose the blue frame cause its my fav color. I use the case everynow and then (right now i have my ZL battery case on) i put on my verus iron shield case alot , i think it is pricey but it is also good quality. out of 10 i would give it a 9/10.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] MaLiXs:
I'm totally in love with my incipio dualpro shine case!
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] soulless angel:
Woow these look pretty cool , anyone has it? Impressions? :)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] griffin_1:
Thank you for the reply!

The charging port is always a bit tricky with some cases, even without it, i actually thought about removing it since i don't plan to submerge the phone (although that could happen involuntary).

I found this case after i tried on a galaxy alpha and i really like the metal frame, it reminded me of the iphone 4 i had and thought this could maybe replicate that a bit, but i know its not the same thing but hopefully it gives that metal premium feeling. I also like that its a bit rounded, that seems to help handle big phone with one hand.

Im going to think about since it isn't cheap, it ends up costing 35$ with shipping and i don't usually spend that much on cases, but it helps my decision to know is well built and people are happy with it
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
it sure is expensive mate, it also cost me that much i live in the middle east and shipping is so damn expensive i paid like 37$ to get the case. actual cost was 17$ for the monaco blue ironShield case, i had to pay more than the actual price to get the case lol very expensive . (but if you want premium that case looks and feels premium that case is a GO just like flossy says LOL if you dont know what i mean then watch this> btw. it helped me decide) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBJSlZ_lID0
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] griffin_1:
ahah i actually watched that video when i was doing some research on the case, he gave it a good review.

Im in the same situation, shipping is pretty much almost the same as the case, which is something i hate, but i really like the case :D I guess for now im going to go with something slimmer and cheaper and then i will upgrade to this one. Maybe they will make a discount on it on black friday :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
great idea mate :D
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] @non4:
Going for a spigen ultra fit style case. Just cant get away with slim armor and neo hybrid, too heavy. I used to use all my devices naked but sick of them looking like crap a month after purchase. I'm not the dropping sort in terms of smashing screens but I've made phones look so nasty shops wont buy because they are "too damaged" despite working just fine
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] griffin_1:
I was set on getting a slim fit style case and i was set on a Ringke slim since it covers the whole outside frame, which im guessing can get scratched or marked easily, but now im not sure because those slim case don't seem to offer much a lot of protection, more against marks/dents and the other ones seem more shock absorbent. However, i do like the look of the phone without the case, so i don't know what to pick now.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] gspears:
It looks like a great case but I have really grown to love my kickstand and would hate to lose it. Tough decision. Aluminum or kickstand. Hmmm

s5 commuter case

S5 commuter case is just a good option for me, it's great for protection and drops

i got the blue/black combo..

also using ZeroLemon skin armor, it got a thin profile with good protection
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] griffin_1:
Anyone here with a Ringke Fusion bumper case? Does it offer good protection for the camera and the phone overall? How does it work with glass screen protectors?

What about the caseology clear back bumper? This is 2$ more, which is not much, but they do seem to be about the same but im not sure.

Anyone with any of these two that can give some feedback?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
how comfortable is it by holding ? and i think it looks uncomfy i mean the plastic looks exctremely cool and looks like it will feel good in the hands but the back cover of it that you put on looks really too rigid so thought it probably isnt as comfy but what you think ?

and oh yeah mind sharing a few pictures of your case with us
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] MaLiXs:
For me the Incipio Dual Pro shine is even more comfy with the case than it was without it ! The smooth finish is simply awsome !

but sorry for the picture i didnt have a good camera except the s5 camera
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
daww its ok, do which color did you get !?

and oh yeah i think this older version of incipio looks more comfortable i also read in a review on the Shine version someone said the DualPro (old version not shine) that its more comfy with the all case rubber feel ! i am looking for the most comfy s5 case ! this is the one i am talkin of just dualpro http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-DualPro-Case-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00IKEOFH2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416844734&sr=8-2&keywords=incipio+dualpro+galaxy+s5

really comfy button ! much more than with my ottebox commuter on my moto G. the button are not hard to be pushed !
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] @non4:
Thats why I'm rocking the neo hybrid. It looks so much better and the buttons feel like part of the phone. In fact I'm getting grief for the size of the phone because people don't realise its a case. Just don't like the flat back makes it feel huge gonna get the verus iron shield when I can afford it. Slim armour is also nice but rubber buttons. They have cutouts so they press properly though
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] leondestiny:
my iron shield is amazing and super sexy, but the volume buttons dont click :/ still work fine but they just dont click well << comfiness is okay though its got a good grip.

i am looking for somehting extremely comfortable though, like something that has a good grip and has soft clicking buttons etc. it dont matter if its all rubber as long as it is snug comfy etc. and as loong as it does not attract any dust.!

no, I use case original galaxy s5, but I think a case with support is amazing enough, wish anyboby alse gives you more feedback..

After reading all of the pages and a few amazon reviews, I opted for the Magpul - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MA4UYDW

(it was mentioned twice earlier in the thread - thx tankmorph & for bringing it aware.

I was looking for something that would offer protection, but it was relatively important to me that it was not slippery because I often work outside or indoor places with concrete or tile floors.

Several reviews on amazon (and on here - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54558071&postcount=178) listed many of the popular cases (slim armor) to be slippery so I'm surprised they were still mentioned so many times here.

Update:

I've had the case for 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. It's not slippery, the buttons are all in the right places. The only problem that I've had with it is that I had to use a swiss army knife to trim some of the plastic off of the jack of my 3.5mm cassette car adaptor so that the jack can fit into the magpul case. My 3.5mm headphones connect to fine imagpul case with no problem or modficiations.

I ordered the red/crimson version and in certain lights, it can appear to be a dark pink color, but for the price and utility, I won't buy another case.

wow 4.8/5 rating in amazon now thats a positive rating and so many rated it, this case has to be pretty sick I consider getting this now :L

I CHOSE THE X-ARMOR CASE by LAZA

Just got this X-Armor case from amazon(amazon.com/laza). Great grip, study build and it doesn't look like anything else on the market which I love! The case is raised on both the front and the back so it keeps your phone scratch free and also the case itself. The have a few different colors I couldn't decide between gold or black. I went with the JET BLACK LOOK! Great case for the price.
