stanleybb50 thanks a lot!

I had some experience with the Defender serious for galaxy s3. The symmetry looks less bulky.

I will get my note 5 tomorrow, so I must decide witch case to by asap. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] drakulinho:
Does anybody have clear view from Samsung does it scratch or did they fix that??
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] PrsnlCrcl:
I had the case, but returned it. The back scratches extremely easily. I did not have it long enough to know if it scratches the screen, but did see a couple of posts in a different thread that scratching was an issue.

Getting my note 5 this week and was looking into cases, but can't decide. I see someone here mentioned that the phone heat caused problems with the Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal. My note 4 has this Protective Cover made by Samsung and was good for my needs.

This is what I have now and was looking for something similar

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T8NR5XK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1N0DQBAIYZ5IN

Any ideas for a similar case for note 5? Thanks
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] AJ4VS:
I just ordered the Neo hybrid crystal. I should have it next week. I will share my thoughts
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] PrsnlCrcl:
Samsung does make a case called the protective case for the Note 5...I am using it right now. It is a very small case that covers the back of the phone and the corners. The sides of the case are open. It doesn't provide that same amount of protection as the link you provided, but it doesn't add much to the phone.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
that was resolved - there was an included matte film protector for the back glass that keeps the clear TPU from sticking.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] foulmouthedruffian:
I think I know the post you're referring to, but it wasn't a Neo Hybrid Crystal. Do you possibly mean the Ultra Hybrid or Liquid Crystal.

Naw, the SpigenNeo Hybrid Crystal doesn't come with a rear protector. I have it in Sating Silver. The TPU is instead textured to prevent sticking. Same with the Liquid Crystal.

Side note: Spigen, please stop using variants of hybrid and crystal in all your case names. Ugh.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
ahh.. gotcha! [emoji106]

ikr.. the names get kind of confusing.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] dja2k:
You are right, the post I was referrring to was this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=62543064&postcount=144 and they were talking about the Liquid Crystal. I would be concerned with the Neo Hybrid Crystal Satin Silver since the back is TPU as like the Liquid Crystal.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] foulmouthedruffian:
Oh god finally. I spent 20 minutes looking for that post and just gave the eff up. I'm surprised the phone got hot enough to do damage. In any case, I don't blame you for wanting to avoid a similar issue.

I wish I had seen the discussion on this case last week before I ordered one...it just arrived today. I guess I will just need to keep an eye on it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] trmiv:
With the Neo Hybrid crystal the inside of the TPU has this honeycomb dotted look. I guess it makes it so it can't stick like in that picture? Does the liquid crystal have the same? The Neo Hybrid crystal is a nice case, but it's a bit slippery for my tastes, not sure if I like it or not because of that.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
i have one of these on the way.. Spigen® [Ultra Hybrid] AIR CUSHION [Black] Clear back panel + TPU bumper

if my idea works, I may have a way so the back isn't slippery.

Nice cases, guys. I went with a simple Spigen case, with a kickstand. Works for me.

Dude, i love your case config! I am planning on doing the same, but with carbon fiber skin. What case are you using?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] foulmouthedruffian:
Yes. Liquid Crystal has the micro dots.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
thanks. [emoji89]

the case I used there was the following...

Galaxy Note 5 Case, OBLIQ [Naked Shield][Black] - with Kickstand Thin Slim Fit TPU Bumper Hard Hybrid Shock Resist Protective Clear Case

the shell is slippery (as with most clear back cases are), and the shell on this design continues all the way to the edges which makes it quite slick when handling on just the sides. i've had it slip out of my hands several times. luckily, I was wearing the strap. (no, not that kind of strap.)

however, i'm still in search of the close-to-perfect case with the right balance between a clear backing (but not THAT slippery) and comfortable sides (needs to be grippy and have cushioning) while still being slim.

if price isn't a concern, go with Slickwraps - they have better coverage and include surrounding pieces for the camera & heart rate sensor as well as the front-upper & -lower pieces. after getting my wood pattern from Skinomi, I later saw 'Kevin the Tech Ninja's review of his S6e+ and the N5, and noticed he had a Slickwraps wood skin I much preferred the pattern of (I believe Ebony) - it had a much nicer Spalting which I really like.

I just bought my gf an S6 duos, and ordered that Slickwraps Ebony skin with the following case...

Galaxy S6 Case, Spigen® [Ultra Hybrid] AIR CUSHION [Metal Slate] - [1 Back Protector Included] Scratch Resistant Bumper Case with Clear Back Panel for Galaxy S6 (2015) - Metal Slate (SGP11313)

I was going to go with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle for my N5's next clearish case, but it didn't have a bumper with cushioning, and the frosted back wouldn't showcase the wood design as well as a clear case would. so, I ended up ordering the same case as my gf's, but for the N5 - the following...

Galaxy Note 5 Case, Spigen® [Ultra Hybrid] AIR CUSHION [Black] Clear back panel + TPU bumper for Galaxy Note 5 (2015) - Black (SGP11709)

it looks like it lacks the slot for the wrist strap though (like the S6 version offers) which i happen to want. i'll report back once it delivers.

I did an earlier review on the UAG Case but the ASH color. I received several requests to review the MAGMA version. As you all know the UAG makes outstanding durable cases. That doesn't add much weight or thickness to your phone. Check out my review :MOD Edit: Referral links removed
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] obiaquino:
Nice... I just orderd one, let's see if it leaves the Halo effect.

But for 0.95 cents it's worth to give it a try.

Thanks for the heads up man.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] obiaquino:
I just received the Spigen Rugged Capsule and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised, I did not think I would like it this much.

The material it is made off is TPU so it is bendable, the phone feels like it is secure inside the case because of the perfect snug fit it has. The cutouts align well and the cutouts for the charger and the headphones are large enough to fit aftermarket options. The case feels like it will protect the phone from a fall adequately and it is not bulky like which is great.

I had the Spigen Neosho Hybrid for my Note 4 and this one is considerably thinner than the note 4 counterpart.

I like the feel of the case, it does not feel like rubber, it is a soft matte velvet feeling back, this coupled with the carbon fiber inserts and the faux "screws", gives a "premium" feel.

Overall I am very happy with it.

Got my Spigen Ultra Hybrid with Black edges today, but for some reason it isn't a tight fit around the side with the volume keys. You can see that it doesn't align with the rest of the sides. Anyone else see this?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
how does it look on the inside of the buttons? maybe there's a part caught in something or something is sandwiched in between there?

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] AJ4VS:
Mine is a perfect and tight fit. You might want to consider exchanging yours for another.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] dja2k:
Yeah I might just do that. So yours isn't flimsy in the volume key area compared to the rest of the side?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] AJ4VS:
nope. no slack at all. actually had my first drop today. Case worked GREAT!! Phone fell onto concrete from about 3.5 feet...no damage to phone, scratch on cases bumper
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I had my first drop experience last week. i was carrying a bunch of items to the car with my hands full, so I was sandwiching my phone between my arm & body. when i had unloaded everything, I forgot about my phone and let loose. so from armpit height (i'm over 6'5"), BAM! it landed on the bottom-left corner. right on the rubber protection (loll) part. the phone itself seemed to have gone unscathed.

the case even looked okay. might have been a different story had it landed on the shell part and not the rubber part.

Is someone using the aluminium bumper?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Hezzennater:
Yes. The ghostek cloak.

Any questions? I like it a lot. But they had to fix the charger port opening, and have been unclear about sending replacements and who has bad stock. It's sold on eBay and Amazon.

Someone reported they had a bad signal with it. It hasn't hurt my Wi-Fi signal, and I couldn't notice a problem with the cell. But there's always a risk with real aluminum. But it looks and feels a thousand times better than plastic
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] foulmouthedruffian:
Man, if they're fixing that charging port opening, I think I'll dump my Spigen Neo Hybrid for that Ghostek Cloak. Aluminum ftw

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I kind of thought he meant a bumper frame alone (no backing) like for the iPhones. some friends mine who had just the aluminum bumpers on their iPhones had screwy signal, and when one of them dropped theirs right on the frame, (because there was no cushioning), the aluminum bumper frame dented, also denting the body as well.

Iron Man looks legit. I'm disappointed in the others.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] foulmouthedruffian:
Woot! My clutch came today! It feels really well made. The skulls are hooked in rather than glued on, so I don't think they'll be falling off, and they are on both sides of the case not just one. I wish I could get a pic of my phone in the case, but I don't have another camera available. It def fits with the Ringke Fusion case on (though it's a little tight). Anything bigger and you'll probably have to remove the case to carry it in the purse. Has a wrist strap, and a nice hefty zipper. Looks like 8 card slots, two bill slots behind the card slots, and a zippered coin purse. Don't expect to fit tampons, pads, or makeup aside from maybe eyeliner in there though.

I just searched for it on amazon to update my review, and saw that they have it listed as "updated" in the title.

http://www.amazon.com/Ghostek-Tempe...qid=1442005819&sr=1-1&keywords=ghostek+note+5

It's a little more expensive, the old ones were 15-16, but nice. Also the glass screen protector has a halo, and they don't mention anything about fixing that.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
if you haven't yet ordered your skin, I highly recommend checking out dbrand.com - I think you'll really like their carbon fibre scheming you're able to customise to your liking.

(from their site)

they've got some nice precision cuts...

(from their site)

you can select the pieces (of the different parts of the phone) you want, and even customise the design you want for each part. I didn't care for any front pieces, so I got to save on the cost of it. I ordered a set for my N5 (and upcoming 6s Plus).

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] bpark19:
Recommend 2 cases, one is genuine leather wallet style case, the other one is dual layered protection case which is the most common case in the market.

If you want a lovely natural colors and feeling as time passes, checkout this case. It is really sick!!

The common problem of the leather case (esp, cheap faux leather) is that edges easily tend to wear and fray very soon but It seems that it is coated many items(quite thick edges) in rubber for long-lasting durability with non-slip grip

Leather Wallet Case

Dual-layered case
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] The War LOrD:
Curious... How come UAG phone cases are so popular? Why do people like their cases so much?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
They are just a great all around case. I would like they better if they had port plugs and the volume & power buttons were sealed and not open.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skoobz:
that is ugly. it looks like a porta potty. why buy a beautiful phone and encase it in a porta potty? here's mine: while it may not protect it from a 1 story building, it's easy to take off and on. I take it off at home or around the office since the floor is carpeted. then i just slip on the case whenever i leave for somewhere. plus, since it's clear, i just slap on a decal or something and i'm not stuck with an ugly colored case. if i want. the case comes with a stencil if you want more of a design coverage and it comes with a back protector (it doesn't cover the whole case, as evident in the picture) and a screen protector (which I used until my glass came that i ordered arrived). and it costs less that ugly uag or otter boxes and the likes. again, it's a pretty phone, show off as much as you can while affording some bit of protection.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skoobz:
someone mentioned that the uag lacks the port seals. the reinke cases seal the charger and earplug ports but i still wouldn't want to take in on the lakes or poolside.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] d.cortez:
if you're in to super thin TPU cases...

first and foremost, this case offers minimal protection to your loving Note5. however, if you want a thin TPU case, that preserves the phone's natural thinness, the Nilkin Nature is likey for u! it's very thin, has a enough thickness to protect the camera lens, has a "textured" feel/grip covering 60% of the sides (from bottom to top) and has a tight fit for an inexpensive case from Asia (meaning no flimsy, sloppy, slipping off the sides of the phone). primary drawbacks: back is slippery (although not as slippery as some other TPU cases i've used) and it's fingerprint magnet. hopefully the pictures below illustrate how thin this case is and how little protection it provides. Not sure if this will replace my Ringke Slim SF Black case. (Note: please ignore the lint; lots of ceiling fans and lots of lint in client's office)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I agree it's not attractive-looking, as far as my tastes go, but what I think it is, is.. people get a phone based on what it can do (what it offers) caring less on what it looks like, and they happen to like the rugged look. it's hard to see anyone liking its protection factor before its looks. so, if it's its looks that come first, then it's probably because it has a ruggedness to it that attracts them.

my brother is big into paintballing, and you can see a lot of that ruggedness carry through in a lot of the stuff that he has. all his phones and tablets are Otterboxed. he has various tactical items that look like he's ready for urban warfare.

lots of women like a well-shaven guy, while many others like a nicely groomed beard. just different tastes. in the end, there's plenty of flavours for everyone's own taste.

^

some stuff came in today. too bad not the new skins.

^

i got the same version for my gf's S6d, but mine didn't come with a matte protector for the rear like hers did

^

I was going to use the matte protector for the back if the case so it wouldn't be slick. i'll miss the kickstand on the Obliq.

^

where the Obliq was way too slick all the way to the edges, this with its TPU sides give it a texture that makes it less slippery. the hard edges make it grip better than if it were completely rounded. the buttons are hard to identify though.

^

I really wanted the slot for a wrist strap like the one for the S6 has

^

lengthwise, I could probably get away with the Spigen case not lifting the Spigen screen protector if I were to reposition it lower. but widthwise, the case will definitely conflict with the screen protector on either side. for the S6, the Spigen screen protector was perfectly short of the Spigen case all around. no issues.

^

I was going to let her remove all that stuff. I did everything else.

i'm wondering if gets 3 is a newer version than mine or something. gets just seems a bit better. either way, i'm still on the search for the near-perfect clear case. I think the next one i'll be trying is the Octane Pure from Incipio. I have a couple if their other stuff that I really like aspects of.

I have the otterbox defender.. Wireless charging works great . My problem is , some times it is impossible to pull down the notification bar/slider from the top. Doesn't happen everytime but does happen enough. i removed the built in screen protector and the same thing happens. This is the first time i have had problems like this with the defender line . I have had a defender for the Note , N2,N3 and SGS2SR and never had an issues pulling the top down. I will be returning this otterbox and looking for something else. Also the defender seems alot thinner and more flexible than the most recent one I had on my note3 , doesnt seem to be as rugged. I am really not happy with the otterbox this time around.:eek:
