Well, as you probably know, the note 4 and a lot of the other galaxy phones have protruding cameras, so these really slim cases has to design it that way so the lens won't be touching when lay down on its back. I believe the samsung a view and flip cases are designed that way as well.

Slim and with a stand. Used this style for the past two Notes.

Taken them on and off many many times swapping batteries with no ill affects.

Camera does not protrude past the thickness of the case.

Only issue is it does not lay perfectly flat on it back due to the stand hinges. It's only a micro annoyance to me.

I have two sitting on my table so my Note 4 can go right into action!

(ordered a couple weeks ago so they'd arrive first along with a 128gb!)

I looked at the two cases you are considering and then went with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid for my slim case. Here is the link:

http://www.amazon.com/Spigen®-Cushi...qid=1413172114&sr=8-17&keywords=spigen+note+4

Since it's a new Spigen product, I don't know how it will perform. But, I have had good luck with Spigen products on my current Note 3. Spigen has shipped the case to me and I will be getting it sometime during this next week. I will also have the Spigen Neo Hybrid, Slim Armor, Tough Armor to use for comparison. On the Note 3, my current favorite case is the Spigen Slim Armor.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] p()()pypants:
I had a case the exact same on my S3 as the spigen. It barely caught a bare edge and shattered whole screen... from knee height... get the ringke, that tiny bit extra could save your phone and that negative space on the spigen really made no sense case the corners still wrap over to just stop and leave vulnerable edges exposed.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] MarioUK:
If any of you guys are in the UK, then Amazon UK have a discount at the moment on the Ringke Slim cases, dropped the price from £20 to £5.99, and they're currently in stock too. Just bought myself one:

Spigen slim grip all the the day I use the plastic outer shell of spigen thin armor not the tpu one
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RustyWrightOne:
WOW, Just bought one ready for when mine arrives. Can't go wrong for that price.

I have never used a case with my note 3 and it is in excellent condition, no scratches or anything. The only reason I am considering a case for the note 4 is because of the metal band. I like the idea of metal but at least plastic is hard to scratch.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] BigJPNut:
I have the Spigen thin fit and the Ringke Fusion. The fusion is also very thin and more grip then the Spigen. The fusion also seems to protect better, especially in the corners. It also has protective flip covers on the usb and headphone jack. Both cases have the perfect lip to protect the screen, with the Spigen lip only wrapping around the corners. All that being said, I still think I like the Spigen a smidgen better. ?

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] TheBigDogz:
I agree that it is bulky. I am using it and can say that the case is very well made.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ozaghloul:
Why does Apple always get the better cases (at least at first). Why can't the same manufacturers make something like this for the note 4. Super elegant, super thin, barely there, and if you believe the marketing also provides good protection. I WANT THIS FOR NOTE 4 :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] LancerV:
Yeah that will provide about as much protection as a piece of saran wrap
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aznmode:
If you look on eBay you will find a bunch of 0.3mm slim cases. Which are even thinner than the Apple ones you posted and won't be over priced.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ozaghloul:
Thanks. However, I am sure those will be very poor quality. I can already see in the pictures on eBay that the cutouts don't line up well. The cases I posted (admittedly without links) are made by reputable manufactures such as Spigen and Desmay. I am sure they will eventually get around to the Note 4, but probably not for a while.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aznmode:
I've bought one of those 0.3 slim case (smoke black) for my note 3 and they are perfect. I generally wouldn't necessarily trust a product cause it's made by Spigen. In some cases they are not made well. There was a thread i think it was on the note 3 forum of a Spigen case with kickstand that falls apart and not made well.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kamiller42:
Does it have any shock absorbing material on the edges? Or, is it a thin hard case only?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aznmode:
Nope. Just thin case.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] wase4711:
I've had the Ringke clear for 2 weeks now, and, even though its not getting "brownish", it's made of the kind of plastic that scratches easily, and gets sort of "cloudy" when you try to clean it..

Its better than "nothing" when it comes to protection, but its not as nice as some of the "clear" cases I had on my M8

not a good photo, but you might be able to see what I am talking about
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] RebDovid:
I've had the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear since 18 October. (I bought it for $6.49, including shipping, at the now-dead, early-morning Amazon sale.) So far, it's neither scratched nor turned brownish or cloudy. For me, it's a fine case until I find something that's more protective without being too bulky.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tranquility:
Hi everybody,

i need your good advice.

I'm about to buy one note 4 for me, now using note 3.

Considering that delivery of case will take time i want to order it in advance.

I was thinking about Spigen's Galaxy Note 4 Case Capsule (as link below) but i've read some negative feedbacks about this case, but there is also a lot of positive reviews, so i'm a bit confused since i use a spigen case on my note 3 and it's very good.

http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsung/galaxy-note/galaxy-note-4/galaxy-note-4-case-capsule.html

also question about scratch issue, is it only on this case or on all tpu cases? personally i like this capsule from spigen but afraid if it will damage the phone,
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
I have a question about the Ringke cases.

I can't decide between the Slim one or the Fusion one. I would prefer the latter because it's clear, however, is the bumper around the edges made of soft gel TPU? Because if so, it will pretty quickly turn yellow-ish, which I really hate.

EDIT: Never mind, found the answer by digging into US Amazon reviews. It does turn yellow. Oh well, Slim it is!

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] SUPARSTARX:
It's difficult to get the best of both worlds. You want slim and you want protection, there's gotta be a compromise somewhere via thick enough material or there's enough space in the mold to assist with mitigating drop impact.

Those 0.3mm cases look kinda nice. I want a nice shimmery gold one that won't smudge up from finger prints.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
I had that case on my Sprint Note 4 for a few days; no chamfered edge scratching that I can see; just checked It feels much better than the Neo Hybrid. I wanted to keep this one but the bottom mic cutouts are confusing me. I saw a web blog poster claiming the elongated cutouts offered better sound quality but I also know that the elongated ones are cut that way to accommodate the Verizon Note 4 spacing of bottom mics.

Since the the reviews of their glass not fitting around edges and home button (halo effects) combined with claims that the glass lacks adhesion to refit and case sound quality issues, Spigen sent me a prepaid shipping label on my request. Further opinions on the Neo Hybrid, was not impressed on ease of removal. I removed it a few times but it seems fragile and time consuming for changing of battery. Soft capsule is a better choice in that regard but may offer less protection. This one seems to offer sufficient protection but I'm disappointed in Spigen for not getting things right out of the box. Just an honest review; YMMV /sayin
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tranquility:
so you think capsule is a better choice? i will have SM-N910C exynos version, i think this capsule case is compatible
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] shook187:
Picked up the Body Glove Satin Gel from a AT&T store for $20.

Slim sturdy case with a lot of protection..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
I think capsule is better in regards to grip, ease and quickness of removal. The Neo Hybrid looks better, you can find the volume and power keys better and should offer more protection.

My key concerns with my small hands was grip and protection. I started with the Neo Hybrid and switched to the capsule later. The capsule feels much more secure and comfortable on the sides and is molded to chamfered cut of the phone without being uncomfortable.

FWIW, didn't seem to have a call quality issue with either Spigen case. Considered keeping the capsule but it is currently the property of the US postal service in route back to Spigen. It may be comical but I'm only using cases with elongated openings for the mics like Samsung's cases have.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] evoxsin:
I have the ringke fusion and its ok. Very slipery and a oil magnet from my fingers. The back is very slippery. The case itself is flexible and thats where my issue is with the fusion crystal.

The bottom of the case by the charge port came warped and did no fit right. It looked worn the reviews on amazon all say that rearth is horrible at support and its somewhat true. I tried reaching them direct and its been two weeks no reply. I contacted them trough amazon and received a reply in two days. They offered a replacement of the same case.

I dont want the same case. I said i would return it at my cost so they can assure themselves and correct the warped issue.

Then i asked if i could exchange the case for the ringke slim and pay cost and was told that because the case is new there cant be exchanges for diferent cases

What ever...my note 4 is naked as of then.

The ringke slim was my next option. But i dont really care to give rearth any more of my money.

Has nobody tried this metal frame/bumper case? I've seen them on other devices before, but not on a Note yet. I love the feeling of metal when this phone is naked. I have a Spigen slim on right now and it does creak... not enough to drive me nuts, but I hate how it feels to hit buttons since the case has recesses for the phone's buttons themselves. I'm just wondering if this bumper protects the back, specifically the camera. None of the reviews are for the bumper (the "C" style) but their other cases instead.

Hi guys, I would like a back cover to replace Samsung one and protect the camera. Like the s-view cover without flip. Dose it exists?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
Yep, there are back cover replacements in a ton of colors. We have a a purple chrome and a blue chRome arriving tomorrow from Hong kong.

Also, our 3mm clear silicone cases arrived today, and they are near perfect!

They were $12 and change shipped for a pair. The speaker cutout is slightly offset, but both openings are clear...it's just not quite centered on them. The sides aren't so thick that it's hard to find the button, and being silicone, it shouldn't yellow like hard plastic. There is just enough thickness to protect the corners from a pavement drop, and there is maybe a 1mm lip on the front. Here's the link to them:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/20120017767...49&var=500395959887&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Only downside is they arrived in 8 days, and the estimated arrival date was 4 days ago. (They didn't ship them until thurs, and they were ordered on the previous Monday.)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aznmode:
Thanks for the link. Its coming from the bay area so it shouldn't take long for me to get it. I'm gonna make a bumper out of it. I'm stuck on a color though. I think I want smoke as the clear might not look too good on charcoal note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] iridaki:
The white Ringke Slim looks gorgeous on the white Note 4. Adds very little bulk and the back is not as slippery as some reviews made it out to be. I love it!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Phrozhen.Khold:
All available cases in 1 post

It would be helpful if somebody post all available cases and their links in one post or a couple. That way we could compare them and not having to go through all the pages just to look for a specific case on the phone. Just a suggestion tho.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] kzoak82:
How is the camera protection on the 3mm case, I mean is the case raised so the lense doesn't touch the surface when phone is on its back?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
I'd say the camera is flush now, or just slightly protruding by a hair. Why no one ever protects the camera lenses is beyond me.

We got the's as temp quick protection. I didn't want anything that added thickness, and wanted silicone so the case would absorb shocks.

I thought of adding a cut of material around the lense to raise the case up slightly higher than it. If I do the mod, I'll post a pic of it.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] high kick:
hi, i ordered the same case (in black). mine is taking a long time too. they've already pushed back the expected delivery date. anyway, can you post some pictures and give a review? i had a 3mm case for my galaxy s 4 and the side buttons were kind of hard to press (i guess there wasn't enough material). any feedback would be appreciated. i got this as a temporary case as well (i ordered a metallic bumper but it won't be here until middle of december).
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] ericstephani:
I like the Spiegen Thin Fit the best. I tried the Spiegen Neo Hybrid for the Note 4 and it added way too much bulk. Compared to the Rengke I think the Spiegen would be better. Although I haven't used the Rengke myself, it looks a lot thicker similar to the Neo Hybrid.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Gareee:
Since we have two notes, I'll take some pics tomorrow. I don't think they could make the sides any thinner without compromising durability.

It could well be heavy demand was the cause of our delay, and I wouldn't have an issue with the delay if t h e had bothered to let me know about it, instead of leaving us hanging.

My grey Obliq case just arrived today and the fit is really good. The sides line up evenly and there is no bottom lip doesn't sag like my other case. The usb port opening is a nice size too; it fits my thicker monoprice usb cables just fine. I posted an album here:

http://imgur.com/a/5tz0B#0

Can you post a picture of the front? Do the sides fit well? Does the bottom lip droop? My clear case has these problems.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] aznmode:
I just got mine. Although I dont think it will attract dust, it will attract fingerprint and smudges as the outside is a shinny finish. Inside back has this pattern which helps it not stick to the battery cover and make it look like there's wet spots.

Postives:

1. Very slim. Overall slimmer than Ringke SF. Phone feels smaller in the hands.

2. There are cutouts for power and volume so no accidental presses by the case itself.

3. Very tight fit. For now anyways.

4. Soft so it won't ever scratch your phone.

5. Even though its glossy on the outside, it's made of soft tpu so there's grip.

6. I believe it will also fit Verizon as the cut out for the left mic on the bottom is oval.

7. Pattern on the inside back helps it not stick to the phone as much so you don't get that wet spot look.

Bad:

1. It's a bit too tight so you have to stretch it out to fit but its so thin and tends to stick to the phones edges so it makes it hard to put on.

2. Cutouts for the charging cord is smaller on the top so the charger won't fit in all the way. Needs to be cut.

3. The oval cutout on the bottom left mic is too close to the mic on Tmobile note 4. If it's not put on right, it could potentially block the mic.

4. Glossy outside so you can see smudges and finger print in certain angles.

5. It's not crystal clear so phone looks a little hazy but not too bad. But I think smoke is best for black phone and clear is best for white phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] samep:
http://m.ebay.com/itm/371141218026?_mwBanner=1

Had hopes for this one but the mic cutout for the one farthest from S-Pen port was about a quarter-inch too far away and the rear speaker port covered half the opening. And this is for a US Sprint phone. At $4.50, thought it was worth the risk and not worth return postage so I tried to fix it.

I have some advice for those thinking of melting the ports open; keep the flame away from the cover. Use a hammer and punch or a long drill bit. Apply the flame with the case opening pointing down. If you're thinking a little heat will clean up the look, don't apply any more heat than necessary.

How long? I'd say keep the flame 3 inches away from the case. Why hold it vertical with port down? Gravity is going to ruin the chance of a clean looking port once the opening starts melting. The weight of the heated but will start pulling the mold unless you just point it down and wait for the but to fall out which won't take long at all. If you get a trail of excess suck to the case, just use some tweezers to pull it off in a twist and pull motion. Don't apply standing or sitting over a heat sensitive surface. Do this at your own risk. Just wanted to share my experience so maybe others can avoid my mistakes.

I'd post a pic but didn't take a before pic and not fond of posting fail pix. Once the mold is compromised, no amount of heat or attempts to remold the material correctly will work.

What's good is the comfort and grip of the sides. The fit is not as good out as thick as the Spigen capsule type case. I use a vertical pouch with a belt loop and this is the slimmest case I've tried so far. Slides easily in and out of the pouch or a pocket. For home use, recommended if no hardened floors present. Buttons molded of same TPU material. The matted finish on back and half of the sides is not so grippy but resists fingerprints and scratches. The smoother parts of the side and bezel lip are soft, comfortable and feel more grippy. There's not much flex if pushing directly down on the bezel lip but quite a bit if pushing outwards.

I asked the seller to replace it with one specified for Sprint.

Sender is refunding; no need to return.

I have the gold ringke slim .....very slim but I do think the back is a little slippery but I like the case so far
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] tweeny80:
Bro I just bought that same case in NZ yesterday - super slim, holds phone very snug. Minimalist form factor w/ textured back and soft-grip sides.

I don't expect any scratching of the polished bezel but see no reason to take this case off!

Only drawback = heartbeat sensor below the cam lense difficult to reach.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Ed Murray:
I found this case on amazon, as the Ghostek Blitz. It's also on Ebay with no name.

Imagine the Ringke case with built in screen protection - [emoji50]

This is hands down the slimmest full protection case (with built in screen protection) that I have ever seen. It's even slimmer in your hands than the photos show. Its slimmer than most cases that don't have the built in screen protector, like any Spigen, Caseology, Otterbox and UAG "Slim" cases. The microphone holes line up perfectly, as well as all other ports. The headphone and micro USB are protected by a rubber flap and the case fits nice and firmly. The only cons that I have found are:

1. The dust (screen) protector, like other cases is not 100% flush to the screen, collects dust and can hinder touch sensativity. I took mine off, as I have done on all cases of this style, and replaced it with a tempered glass protector.

2. The power and volume buttons become very sensative with this case on. I solved this by taking a little rubber off the "nub" that comes in contact with the buttons. This may not be an issue with everyone, only myself. I think I finally found a case that I won't replace in a few weeks because it's too chunky.

The price was 9.95 on Amazon.com and shipping is free from NYC, and fast, even not being a prime item. They sold out of several colors pretty fast, so I'm thinking it's become a popular case. Most are back in stock now.

After a few days of using this case, I've decided I definitely need to cut the back part out and just make it a bumper case. It's too much of a grease and fingerprint magnet and didn't like the feel of it afterwards and it needed to be cleaned constantly.

For now I'm back to the Ringke SF slim which I do not have this issue with. I can't say the same for the glossy version of it though.
