I Pre-ordered this case.. And the holster does swivel it is very stiff... I have phone on belt horizontal... Have used for calls both on and off speaker phone with no issues of people having trouble hearing me...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] doeboy711:
Can the OP put up a list in the original post that shows all of the cases that are known good and bad? This will help a lot of people out when trying to sort through 100+ posts. I am thinking about going with the SUPCASE. I like having an all in one case/screen protector design.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] coastieET:
OK so I just got my hands on the SUPCASE for the note 4, and it's a lot thinner than I expected it to be.

Pros: slim design, snug fit, nice blend of hard plastic and tpu material. Buttons still have good positive feel when operating volume and power. There is a channel for the mics, though I haven't had much time to test the sound quality thoroughly.

Cons: bottom edge has a sharp mould line which runs the width, which for all us pinky cradlers will irritate your finger. Bottom lip of tpu under the home button does not want to stay over the bezel, basically you have to continually push it back into place over the bottom edge. It still fits snugly to the phone overall, just seems like a moulding issue in this one spot. The case also is straight edged all round, hiding the small bumps outs at the four corners of the phone, to me I liked the shape. So hiding the original shape of the phone is also a negative, makes it look more like any other large phone on the market.

I'm still kind of preferring my Spigen Perfect Fit case, but I'm going to give the SUPCASE a few days. Aside from protecting the top and bottom better than the Spigen, and possibly not scratching the chamfered edges of the phone, I'm not seeing much reason to choose the SUPCASE over the Spigen.

A much deserved "Thanks" given to this post. You saved my day! I was too afraid to force it as you said, it is very stiff - probably a good thing actually. It just didn't appear it had the gismo in place to enable swiveling. Great find! :cowboy::D
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] derrtydee:
+1. i ordered SIX cases for my phone before i knew anything about this post (most of them before launch day) so it would be good if the OP could update the first post so that we know what's going on.

for anyone who cares, (i didn't bother to search the thread before posting, so sorry if it's duplicate information) i have a spigen capsule that i got from e-bay, and the left hole seems to be farther away, the right mic hole lines up perfectly.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] rsswga:
I had same issue but I used a drill bit and drill and a razor..looks good. seller offered to swap out. no thanks

both cases I had Spig and a fake Spig. both are perfect with mods

The i-blason halo hybrid works with the VZW variant. The clear case is classy with this black Note 4, I tell ya :o
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] vwpiper:
I purchased the OtterBox Commuter case from Best Buy. It has a slot in the bottom for the mic. Works great. Not pretty. Still better than a dinged corner waiting for the case makers to update specific to vzw.

(Any recommendations on tempered glass?)
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tabocaw:
I'm using the verus thor case which I had to modify to fit the holes. Plus I'm using invisibleshields tempered glass and I'm loving it.

Have any halo on your tempered glass? I bought one and returned it for the HDX due to halo (edges not stuck down)

I bought the OtterBox Defender case. Love it - sounds great, great feel, great fit. Removed the dumb screen protector it comes with, but other than that - great right out of the box.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] tabocaw:
Same problem with this one. It doesn't bother me so I just left it. I've had it on for a couple weeks now with no problems other than the edges.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] heystek:
I finally got an email back from Spigen on my Capsule and they should be shipping me a case with the new "universal design"
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] efotonik:
I realize people want to buy something that 'just works' but the modification required is a tiny hole drilled into any of the aforementioned cases and...that's it.

I sized the proper drill bit by slip-fitting the existing mic holes, moved over a smidge (approx 3.0mm which was the reported mic offset for VZW version) and pulled the trigger.

A tiny bit of clean up to remove any burrs and it looks good as production, and only took 2 minutes. This seems like less of a hassle then returning, waiting, ordering a new one, waiting, installing.

Edit: For reference, I did this on a Ringke Slim SF.

I do not think this method would work for soft-style TPU cases.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] exdroid1:
Thanks for the update. Let's hope this thing appears on AMZN soon.

That's what I did.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] sprintuser1977:
Leave it to Verizon, aka Lockzilla, to go all cowboy on design.

l ordered a cheap TPU case from overseas before l got the Verizon version.

Luckily I checked just now and its' made to not cover any holes.

Not that it mattered, the case only cost me a buck.

Just so everyone knows, the ghostek blitz microphone holes line up perfectly, and it's the slimmest full protection case I have ever seen.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chriskader:
Multiple case manufacturers have designed cases correctly including Otterbox. I do not see this can be pinned in verizon. I bet the holes are

different due to antenna differences between bands and carriers.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] RJV3:
Picked up an Otterbox Defender case and all is well and this case is a beast. No issue with muffled mics as there are two holes on each side of the charging port. The only issue is that my phone now really looks like a minute tablet since the case adds significant bulk. It's still not unbearably heavy, but coming from an S4, this will take some getting used to.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Ed Murray:
I took out the screen protector on my green one and used a tempered glass. The spen works great, nice and easy to pull out.

The built in screen protector is the same quality as the one on the Otterbox defender, but I simply don't like them.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] CtK4949:
Also be careful putting the case on and taking it off. The chamfered edges on mine are all scratched up!! :'(

Used a Spigen Ultra Capsule and a Ringke FUSION Shock Absorption Bumper Clear Hybrid Case.

has anyone tried the Joto cases with kickstand?

http://www.amazon.com/JOTO-Galaxy-Note-Armor-Case/dp/B00NPCREPY

At .34 inches, that's really slim for a kickstand case and the kickstand angle seems more upright than Seido and Ghostek, which is what I'm looking for.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] Qoozek:
I got an Incipio dualpro case for my Note 4. So far no complaints. Fits pretty well, has the correct holes for everything, and it gives enough lift on the camera and front of the phone. It's a bit slippery with the back panel it has but other than that I'm liking it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] coastieET:
Best case I have found (which shouldn't surprise me, I always love their cases) is the Bugdroid Circuit Case by Cruzerlite. All cutouts are perfect, mic holes are designed for all Note 4 variants. Super slim fitting, but made of TPU so will still give some shock protection. Highly recommend. The case was also just under $14 shipped.

I had bad experiences with the otterbox defender cases, specifically with the built-in screen cover and it not fitting flush with the screen. Resulting in a space between the screen and cases cover, horrible touch sensitivity and dust /debris collecting inside.

This case for really good reviews, is less than half the otterbox and looks awesome:

Ok. I got my note 4 today and as usual, it's full on beast mode! Even though we don't have root yet, I'm in heaven.

Problem I seem to be having is when I go to add widgets on my home screens. They say they are added but when I get back to my homescreen, they aren't there. I've rebooted s billion times, rest the phone back to default and whatever else I can think of. It's not ALL of the widgets though. I've had it happen with widgetsoid, beautiful widgets and hd widgets.

Has anyone else had this problem or can soneonecekse on the note 4 try and duplicate this problem? I got my main homescreen totally blank because I can't add any of the widgets I use. I'm kinda depressed about it lol

I know in prior samsung phones there has been the issue of setting up folders in the app drawer and after rebooting the first time the apps need put back in the folders again and then everything is good to go from there.

However, with my new note 4, I have to redo the folders every single time I reboot the phone. Is anyone else having this problem?

Bump for this thread. I thought it was encryption that was causing the problem, but it seems that encryption was just the cause of the restart, not the issue. Using Nova launcher with a backup will fix this, but I honestly like touchwhiz better for time being (to each his own). Anyone found a solution?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saneace:
Solved. Make a list of your folders in the order you want them in a notepad file. Go into the app drawer. Change "Sort by" from alphabetical to custom. At this point I deleted all my folders. Next, I went to the first page and began making my folders until I ran out of room. I then organized the apps on that page that fit into those folders. Rinse and repeat with the extra room until you have all of your folders on the first page with the correct apps inside. You can then click settings, edit, and rearrange the folders in the correct order. There may be a more efficient method, but this held for me after restart.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsbad:
It's funny you mentioned this lol. I just went back into my app drawer and deleted every single one of my folders. I crated a new folder and used the + symbol at the top right of the folder creation and added the apps I wanted in that specific folder. I repeated the process until I had all my folders and apps organized. I had one app that I missed and added it into the appropriate folder after I was done with the rest. I rebooted the phone and sure enough all my apps were still in their folders EXCEPT for the one app I missed. I guess the moral of the story is to add the appropriate apps during the folders creation in order to keep them in there.

If you want to use data, really your only option is T-Mobile. Any relax or flext tariff which will give you your minutes & texts, then add the Web & Walk bundle on, £7.50 a month for normal web & email use, or £12 for heavy use, and if you will use as a modem for your PC.

Nobody else offers data at those prices yet. I'm on Orange, and it really stings me that for £8 I only get 10mb inclusive data.

So I was just about to go to the sony store, I had the phone, cables and everything neatly packed up an ready to go. I decided to give it one last try just in case to avoid the all too common scenerio when it unexplicably magically starts working in the store. I plugged it into a wall charger and held down the power button and the red light turned on! I left it for a minute and then pressed the power button again, and the screen turned on with a battery charging logo! It looked like the battery was fully dead so I left it for 5 minutes and turned it on again. It booted up! Now the moment of truth: will the touch screen work....

Drum roll......

It does!

Everything works normally now. I have no idea wtf happened but I'm really happy that I don't have to deal with sending it in and everything.

Though I'm a little worried about what the screen clicking is, that's still there.

I'll post a video later and might take it in to sony anyway to see what they say

At this point, even if the phone fixes itself, I`d rather send it in for repair before the clicking turns into a screen fracture.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Some Tech Noob:
I had the same issue. Here's what I did - hopefully it'll work for you.

Download and install HTC Sync Manager for your PC.

Connect your HTC One M8 to your computer and wait until HTC Sync Manager recognizes it.

On the home page of HTC Sync Manager, click repair. Select your device from the list(should be just one device if only your phone is connected, then click the red repair button under the image of the One m8 and the verizon laptop.

Wait awhile.

Once it's 100% completed, close HTC Sync manager, reboot your phone, and try the OTA update again. At this point in time, mine fully completed the update and didn't show the red triangle.

Also, if you don't know how to get out of the red triangle, hold down voldown, volup, and power until the phone reboots.
