Hey Guys, I have been waiting for this Case to arrive! I have always had my UAG cases as my goto cases for my phones. But as many of you on the forum, I switch cases often. It really depends on what I am doing or where I am going. UAG just started shipping these out. I got the ICE version. It features slim design, light weight and great protection for your phone.. It doesn't bunch up the screen protector either. I don't have a glass version to test but I will report back once my ICAREZ comes in. For now my Supershieldz is holding up nicely. No lifting at all. But I have the dents the film gets.
Here is my review of the product
My favorite cases at this time are the Spigen (Kickstand), Supcase Unicorn beetle, and the UAG.

Each to their own but it's far too bulky and ugly for me. No point in having a phone that looks as fantastic as this if you're going to change it to something from a 1960s Star Trek episode.
Nice in depth review though.
Really love u uags cases, protected my phone from 4 meters drop! (and of course smaller heights).
It's main disadvantages are it's price (including shipping to my country) and the plastic screws at the back are annoying in my hand.

Can't wait for nine to come in. Shipped from UAG direct in Japan.
I love them. The design on the back provides nice grooves for your fingers to rest in for one handed use.
And maybe it's the military in me, but the tactical look is bad ass. I get complimented all the time with my note 4 and lg v10.

I don't know why you guys are waiting for it. I got mine 3 days ago a small cellphone accessory device. 48$ Canadian. But it doesn't come with a glass protector. I don't thing I will need one since the case itself provide a wide protection for the front panel. I really like it so far.
Can you guys post some pictures of how these translucent ICE cases look after being on the edge for months? I am looking to upgrade my S4 (with black UAG case) to S7edge, and really don't like these translucent ICE cases. I wish UAG would make a black case for S7edge (just for me if not every one else ). I don't like the look when you can see through the case, distorted print/logos on the phone is visible. Also worried about how much crud accumulates under the case and is visible. Also with these translucent cases, there is no second layer of soft rubber protecting the whole phone, just on the corners I think.
Also, how well has the UAG protected your S7edge after many months of use? Better than "Supcase Unicorn Beetle", it seems to be next closest to this "tactical style" that UAG came up with.... and they have black
Thanks in advance!!!!

black is slimming
I was going to buy this case, but couldn't purchase directly from their page, and Amazon only had it in white. I went with the Incipio Feather in black instead. http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...amsung-galaxy-note-ii-feather-shine-case.html
The color goes will with the Grey note 2. It seems more like a dark grey to me, and the "Aluminum Finish" looks similar to the finish on the Titanium Grey note. Ill post some pics with the case on once I get my replacement battery door tonight.
I did order the Spigen button covers though and should have them tonight. Anyone want a pink one button cover, let me know and I will ship it to you at no cost. I'm only going to use the other two.
Wow I didn't know Incipio made one for the galaxy note 2 it looks good. I think I might get this one. What does the surface feel like though i hope it isnt the slippery plastic because i think the Ringke and SGP are both matte

My Ringke slim cases, both for the Galaxy Nexus and Note 2 always were too slippery for me. I had both in Matte Black. I dealt with the slipperiness as well as how they attract finger prints since I liked how they looked and felt in the phone. With the one for the Note2, I finally had to give it up though since finger prints seemed much more visible. That said, the Incipio feather, in my opinion, feels less slippery than the Ringke Slim. I'm sure some may find it too slippery for their tastes, but for now its going to be my daily case unless I find something nicer. Ill post pictures later tonight once I have a camera. The Note 2 along with the Spigen button covers and this case make me happy for now.
I just received today my black SGP Ultra thin air, it's matted black and it has a soft touch to it, it does come with a Ultra crystal screen protector which is awesome.....
It's extremely slim and compared to the Pt (best buy) case that I was using for around 2 weeks the phone feels now like I have nothing on it its so slim.
Very happy with it, highly recommend it to anyone that's even considering it, had it on my GS3 that's why I got it for my note since I liked it so much on my previous device.
Took some pictures with the wife's GS3, battery was really low so flash didn't come on, anyway here they r

I'm looking for a good case for the Note 4 I am waiting for to arrive.
As of now I have a Note 2 using the UAG hard case.. What are some suggestions y'all have for a case for the Note 4?? I prefer a "slimmer" design, but one with good protection. OtterBox is just too big and bulky for my taste.. I would also like to know what y'all think about screen protection.. We all know the DIY screen protection film, but what's everyone's opinion and experience with the "adhered" glass protectors, a stand alone or included with a case... Hope this makes sense.. Also hope this is in the right section, I tried "Accessories" but the forum was blank and gave me a error.

Hey Birdman. I've tried a few cases for my N4. I LOVE my current case. It's the Spigen Neo-Hybrid Metal. It's slim, while providing adequate protection and yet... looks slick as hell.
Here's the amazon link...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MA...&dpID=517hJeLjbsL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
as far a screen protection? I've got the Zagg Mirror Glass. It'd a Best Buy exclusive. So far... it's slick. I'm not a fan of the standard films.
Hope this helps ... and enjoy your N4!
I have the speck candyshell on mine and love it. Tech 21 are also great cases as far as being very slim but great protection. Also highly recommend a tempered glass screen protector. I got mine on Amazon for like $15 and has a lifetime warranty.
I spent a whole 7.55 each off 2 cases with swivel belt clips off ebay. Anyone who pays more than $20 for a case just isnt very bright. I dont need slim or flashy, i need protection and durability. Did the same with my nexus 5, never cracked a screen. I dont use a protector. If i drop my phone, it bounces. This case is gantastic. Its a generic 3 piece hybrid with belt clip. Purchased in 2 colors for 16.05 delivered, free shippi g, 2 cases

Yeah, I ended up buying a Caseology and the tempered glass screen protector.. The tempered glass should do me great, working on cars day in and day out really takes a toll on the flimsy screen protectors. With everyday use it gets pretty dull quickly since I can't always wash and sanitize my hands before responding to a text, etc.. My past 2 phones I've used the UAG cases and they're great, but I'm ready for a change in look. Thought about getting one if the cases (forgot which one exactly) that the guy Flossy on YouTube reviews. It was all aluminum, gold finish, bezel and back for the phone, looked so damn nice. Where he lost me though was when he said he lost a bar or 2 of reception. Still might buy one also anyway cuz it was pimpin LOL.

Flossy is great!! I always check his reviews before I buy. Thats how I got turned onto the Spigen cases.
Now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is out and about, we're interested in learning what cases you're after (or currently using) to protect it from damage. It doesn't matter what style — flip cover, full body film, hybrid case or skin case — we want to know your favorites. Following this thread will be our "Best cases for the Galaxy S6 Edge" article that will encompass what our community has deemed worthy above the rest, so share your opinions because they matter!
Pelican Protector Case
I have the Pelican protector case specifically made for the S6 edge. While both the Pelican S6 and S6 edge cases fit my phone, the S6 case covered part of the edge notifications. The Pelican case is solid and lightweight, and most importantly, after a couple drops, my phone remains intact.
Does it reduce the mobile signal?
I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most. Thin and has a nice feel in hand.
Spigen neo hybrid is great! I had the official samsung clear case which was nice but offered very little protection! The neo hybrid is great looking (some people may find it even adds to how the phone looks) Cut outs are done to perfection. Buttons work flawlessly despite being covered. It fits snug and feels solid as well! I honestly NEVER leave a case on . Anytime i buy a new phone i always buy a case and within a week i take it off because i just don't like the feel, the look , the bulk etc This is the first case i have ever bought that iam happy to leave on
im using this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S6-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ede69779b
and its really really good. i have dropped its 3 times, and nothing happend. really good product by spigen.

Obliq Slim Meta Case
I am currently using the obliq slim meta case. Its relatively inexpensive $15 on amazon and it arrived in less than 4 days (im located in southern california; LA to be specific).
Its not so much for protection against drops but I love it because it protects that AWFUL camera hump and the lip on the front edge protects the screen if i were to place it face down.
super stylish as well. I cant post a link to it because i am a new member but its easy to find on amazon

I use the Urban Armor Gear and I love it! Dropped my phone many times and this case saved it many times! I like that its see thru and has a pretty nice design on the back. By far the best slimish case I've owned for a phone!

Ringke SLIM case is simply beauty. No more worried on fingerprint.
Spigen Neo Hybrid for me too. I really like it. Feels great. Tight fit. Raised just enough to set the phone down either way and not scratch the screen or camera. Looks great.

I have this case, not currently using it due to it having no grip, really slippery, but it does look nice.
Sent in my phone because the charging port stopped working, and I'd like to buy a new case for my m8.
I am looking for something that looks decent and adds protection, with support for a tempered glass screen protectors.
I had a spigen case before this for a few months and the back is already scratched and looks very unappealing now.
Does anybody have recommendations?
I've always been a fan of UAG cases aka urban armor gear http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/.
Every so often they have specials going on as well.
I've been very happy with my Trident Aegis case. $20 on Amazon and offers excellent protection. I've dropped my phone several times and the case has held up well. I've had it nearly a year now with no issues.

Check out the Amazon reviews.
I bought and reviewed 3 cases here in my post. I've since then ditched the dilex as it seems a bit bulky and have switched over to a black supcase unicorn beetle with a red body since i was replacing the usb/3.5mm board on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728080 I hope that might be some help to you.
spigen hybrid. transparent, great materials, very strong
Yup, i think UAG has one of the nicest looking tough case out there.
Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.
I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.
I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.
I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!
