Yeah, the bumper on the Spigen is plastic af. The charging port cut out is nice and big though, and while I haven't tested it myself, I read through a bunch of amazon reviews that indicated the case leaves ample enough room to accommodate the stock charger. I'm stuck at work for the evening, but I'll edit-to-add once I try it myself.

Edit to add:

The charger plug fits perfectly. I snapped this quick and dirty http://i.imgur.com/x0qEcHJ.jpg

I just ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid carbon fiber case myself, which will be here Tuesday. :)

I'm actually glad that the sides are plastic. On my Note 4 the aluminum siding of my Spigen Neo Hybrid caused GPS issues.

My Ringke fusion case just came in yesterday and I have to admit that I am pretty surprised how well this case is made. I also went and ordered the Spigen slim armor case and the Skinomi tempered glass protector. Will post up pics of those when they come in.

I got a decent tempered glass too. and no halo as well. But GODDAMN so much dust and these yellow dust particles gather up on the edges and stick there. I see from yours as well that you have a couple specks as well. Does yours have any debris gathering up on the edges?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Nope mine stays pretty dust free. The ones in the photo are just from cleaning it with my microfiber and i keep it in an old oakley sunglasses bag so i dont have dust or anything get against it
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] GreeleyXda:
Where did you buy yours? On Amazon they're sending out new frames to people who's ports are too small.

Besides the ports, is it decent?

I really like the case but I'm worried Amazon will send me old stock/the frame with the small ports
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] GAPO:
I was thinking of ordering one of those. Price is right, and I like the look. Does anyone know anything about the Artech cases? I am currentlu using an Otterbox commuter and a Zagg screen protector. I wonder how the Artech would compare.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] MrStig91:
So, after two days with my UAG, I love everything about it except I can't access sliding menus and a couple other things I use that require swipes from the side of the screen. The case covers every last bit of bezel so you only have screen on the sides, and the case sticks up enough that my fingers cant hit the very edge of the screen. I didn't mind at first but it eventually just drove me nuts and I took the case off. So... A couple things.

If someone wants my UAG I would sell for like $25, and also, what case should I go with now? I want something that doesn't stick up quite as much on the sides so I can actually hit the very edges of my screen.

Thanks.

PS: I know I'm being picky, I just don't want any limits on how I use my $800 phone. XD
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] clintonroche:
The slim cases would be a good place to start. They usually don't overlap the front much if at all.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
No clue on the new ones but the leather one for my G4 was top notch!!
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Michael Gaines:
I can definitely vouch for the Verus High Pro Shield case Amazon has for that same $16.99. It's a very solid, sterdy case with a tight fit. Kinda difficult to take off. Works great with wireless charging too.

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

I emailed them a week before the phone came out. Took a few days for a reply but they said there are no plans for that style case at this moment. I have 2 Mophie cases(one gold and one black) for my S6 so I plan on selling them for $60/each and getting the Offgrid case. Since I can't expand the storage on my Note 5, I might as well make my 128gb S6 as beastly as possible.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] GAPO:
Good to know! I went ahead and ordered one.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I didn't like the Mophie battery case at all. I did email them again if they could make an Express (thinner battery case like for the iPhone) with the storage slot or even just a case (no battery) that expands the storage. still waiting.

at least the S6/e is a smaller phone to begin with should you add to its size.

Spider Slim Armour Case ...

Hi all ...

Has anyone gone with the Spigen Slim Armour Case (Metal Slate) ... ???

Need suggestions about it ...

Thanks ...

Oblique case nice
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] foulmouthedruffian:
The Ringke Fusion case arrived today. It looks slick, however, it feels cheap. The lip around the screen is sharp instead of a smooth curve, and I can feel the seams at all four corners where the case was molded. I like the clear button covers though. I did not install the rear protector, but I only see that rainbow effect if I press really hard on the back (which won't ever happen during use).

It's slimmer than the Spigen Neo hybrid clear/satin silver, and I love the all clear look the Ringke offers, but I think the Spigen is a better case.

did you order yours from Amazon? if so, how long ago? mine has been 'preparing for shipping' for a long while now.

also, can you confirm if there's a slot on the right side of the bumper that allows a wrist strap?

I personally have had ever case under the sun. I am loving the Versus Verge case. Provides protection and not at a cost of making the phone bulky as all hell.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] mrpickem:
I agree, the Verge is an awesome case. Most especially for $6 but even at regular price it's still a good value. I bought 2 Verus cases and I'm happy with both. I just been addicted to UAG and it actually feels smaller in hand than the Verge as it has rounded edges on the back. I feel more confident in the drop protection with the UAG as well. But the Verge is excellent and seems like it would fair well on drops as well.

The red UAG case is cool. Is the material the same as the Maverick case? I used to use the Maverick on my Note 4 but ended up hating it cos of the material.

I have sweaty palms and when it is cold, it causes the Maverick case to be sticky to my touch.

Do u think this case will get sticky too? Gotta know before I get this case for my gold Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] trmiv:
Debating on returing my Speck Candyshell Grip and getting a UAG Magma Red. Someone mentioned the edges of the screen being hard to get at with the UAG cases. Anyone else experiencing that? I've noticed that on some cases with my Note 4 and it drove me nuts. Especially when they moved the menu for Swiftkey to the swipe on the left side. I could never get the damn thing open with some cases.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] saranwrap:
Are you not a fan of the Speck?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] trmiv:
I actually like it, but I prefer the look of the UAG a bit more. Can't really go around buying $40 cases a lot, so one has to go! The white Speck on a white phone does give a cool stormtrooper look. Not sure what I'll do. The only thing I don't like about the Speck is I'm sure the hard plastic will scratch up rather easily.

Any good recommendation for a wallet-type of case? I do like the style of the Samsung Flip Wallet (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-WG900BBESTA) but I was wondering if anyone had some experience with a different wallet case.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] mrpickem:
Ash is new and looks awesome. Cant go wrong with Ash, Red or clear IMO. I never had red so I got it and it goes great with my black baby.

I've never noticed any UAG case to get sticky and I've had at least 5 all Scouts I believe, Very hard plastic and pretty much always the same. Very durable and hardly shows wear in my experience.

Speck make excellent cases. I used to love me some Candyshell on my HTC One & S4, but since I went UAG, I've always preferred them.

As to the case hanging over the screen...I haven't had an issue yet. But I could see it might be an issue on certain apps if you need to drag from an exact edge. If so, the s-pen would probably hit them spots without issue.

I will say the GN5 with the UAG feels so much better is hand as it's noticeably narrower and the curved back together really hit the G spot. The GN4 UAG case was slightly more rigid and maybe a little more durable.

Personally for me it's 10 of 10 rating.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] trmiv:
Well now you've got me wanting the UAG case. It seems the Note 5 model is thinner than previous models?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] xnappo:
Do NOT get the ClearView flip cover - even with my mod to raise the plastic from the screen my glass screen protector started getting scratches just like those on the S6 threads(http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6-edge/accessories/samsung-view-case-scratched-screen-t3107467/page63). I can't believe they made another case that actually damages the screen!

I do have the normal wallet cover too... But the Sapphire Black color looks like a freakin' check book. Other than that I like it.. But still not my life partner for this phone :)

The Versus case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VN6SMZU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00) is very very nice - but it is too thick for me - only because it holds cards which I could do without.

P.S. Please don't tell my wife how much I have already spent on cases :D :D

I used I hair dryer to help relax it. it wasn't enough. i'll have to let the seller know. this case has an inverted design to the case & bumper designed cases.

used one of my own wrist straps

neither the Spigen screen protector or the lip of the Obliq case touch each other

the kickstand is a nice touch

next to my S6e

the case back feels like a cross between a flexible TPU and a hard shell. I like that it's clear with a stand, but I don't like the design of how the plastic bumper installs first, then the case back installs around it. or maybe it could have been designed better. and the buttons are a little bit too hard to press.

I finally got my case in the mail today. It looks good and I love the kickstand. But this case is way to slippery for me. It feels just like the phone does without a case, Its really slippery. I couldn't deal with it, so I went back to my old case (Ringke fusion smoke black).

Pros:

It looks nice

Kickstand is very nice

Cons:

Its very slippery (Might not be a con for some people)

The buttons I find a little difficult to push
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I feel the same way about it feeling too slick especially at the sides - i'm very picky about how slippery or not it is to hold a case by just the sides. the search continues...

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Azlum:
Yes this is an issue with the UAG. I have the white UAG on my note and it's really hard to do gestures from the edges.

The menu button on SwiftKey, the screenshot gesture, the floating window gesture from the top corners.... They are all quite difficult with this case.

That's the ONLY drawback to the UAG in my opinion. Fantastic case otherwise.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] JBurd3:
So has anybody had any experience with waterproof cases? My wife just purchased the s6 and she got a Lifeproof. Their latest design seems better than the ones I've seen a few years ago. I see they have never made cases any of the previous Notes so I'm assuming they wont be doing one for the 5. But does any one know of any cases of similar build quality? The water proofing isn't a MUST HAVE but it would be nice to have one to take on my honeymoon in a few weeks.

But basically looking for a good case that still shows off my phone but is still well protected. Debating these right now if I cant find one with decent waterproofing:

Spigen neo hybrid crystal

Ghostech cloak series

Obliq naked with kickstand

Somewhat considering the UAG clear. but only because so many people love it on this post. But it looks a little bulky for my taste.

I have a Ringke crystal arriving today so I can FINALLY take my N5 out on the town and show her off. But only bought it with the anticpation of using it until I found the right case
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
not at all, actually. i did notice that while I was taking pics of the phone with the case on (on the bottom side of my BT keyboard which has a magnet to put my Tab to sleep when closed), it would slide over toward the magnet in the keyboard. but the phone did that even without that case all the other times I took pics of it on the bottom side of my keyboard.

(Sent from another Galaxy via Tapatalk)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] NicholasP38:
Excellent! I was worried because some people were saying that the magnet could interfere with their S-Pen or just cause issues with the phone in general. Overall, would you recommend the case?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
my brother has one of those magnetic phone holder thing-a-majigs and doesn't seem to be having any issues with his N5. idk about S-Pen issues though.

as far the kickstand's magnet, there's hardly any magnetic strength to it. last night, I happened to be messing around with the S-Pen and my N3 S-Pen comparing the two, but didn't notice any concern with the rather weak magnet in there kickstand assembly. the N5 is much more sensitive to the N5 S-Pen, btw.

I was messing with the pen now and still no issues I can see. the sensor or sensing mechanism seems to be pretty precise (or more localised) within the S-Pen slot.

for the price alone, it's probably well worth it. keep in mind though that the buttons are hard to press, and the slick back is, well.. slick. and it runs all the way to the edges. one of the things that peeves me the most about phone cases are how well they are to grip/handle by the sides and not feel slippery. the second thing is how greasy-feeling the back can get. I would have been fine with an etched surface even if it meant not being completely transparent but being translucent.

i can see some room for improvements of the overall design. based on my copy, they could have manufactured some areas of the case, better. you could still try one out, then return it should you change your mind.

i'll be trying some stuff to the back to improve it though. ooh.. i haz mail.

edit: seems the price has gone way up, or.. i got mine during a big discount.

Really liking the Tumi Astor case from the Verizon store. It is very slim for a case this protective. The back is a fabric material that feels very good in the hand. The case is made by Incipio due to the warranty tag in the box. I've had really good luck with Incipio. The problem is the price. At $60 its probably a bit steep for most but I travel alot and am a brand whore. So it works for me.

Absolutely love the UAG. And I for one personally love the screen edges on it (bezels and all). I would absolutely 100% not want them to change a thing about this case at all.

This and the Otterbox Symmetry will be all I roll with. UAG 90% of the time and the Symmetry the other 10%. We'll maybe 85/10/5 with the 5% going to the Verus Verge for a change here/there... But the Verus Verge is as thick or thicker than the aforementioned, but does not have much face down screen protection..
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] PrsnlCrcl:
I really love the build and feel of this phone, so I wanted to go a minimal as possible on the case. As much as I love the beautiful back of the phone, my OCD cannot stand how everything shows on the back of the black sapphire color (fingerprints, dirt, etc.). I decided to go with a carbon fiber back from slickwraps. It comes with extra pieces for the sides and front of the phone, but I only wanted to cover the back. I also picked up a Samsung Protective Case as it is the slimmest case I have found. It does not provide the most protection, but I still feel like I am holding just the phone.

Otterbox Symmetry vs UAG

Can you please compare Outterbox Symmetry with UAG. I prefer the solid look of the Otterbox than the UAG witch look like transformer lol. But also I don't want a bulky or heavy case. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] stanleybb50:
Symmetry is nice. It is slightly bigger than the UAG overall. Mainly because the UAG is thicker in the corners only. I'd also say the symmetry is slightly heavier than the UAG. But the Symmetry is a nice case and it feels very protected in it.

I love that the UAG has little "feet" on each corner that keep it elevated sleep gently and also it doesn't move around on a table/etc. Symmetry is just plastic on the back, which is ok in its own right. I'd say both have the same amount of screen drop protection, and are equally easy to install and remove.

Pics below:
