Help choosing the case

[Atomicmachine]

Hi

I just got my new galaxy S4 from the insurance today. The old one crashed the glass and the lcd.

On this one I want to protect very well (the claim cost me

 

[Goodspike]

What were you using as a case before, if anything?

(FYI, I just have the cheap case Costco included for free.)

 

[Atomicmachine]

I wasn't using anything at all.:banghead:

I have the spigen slim amour case. It is very well made and combines a rubber and polycarbonate body.
Good as it is I love my phone naked.
If you are interested you can buy it off me cheap.
It is slate blue and black rubber. (the rubber is a hard rubber not the soft silicone type)

Check out the Speck candy shell cases. There very appealing, had a hard shell with a rubber interior layer and is not bulky at all! I love the way it looks and feels worth the money

I use the Outterbox Commuter case for my S4. (Not as bulky as the Defender)

 

[Atomicmachine]

Do you still use screen protector with that cover?

 

[Spewy]

Who is that question to? If me, no, I hate screen protectors, they may protect but make the screen look worse than if scratched. Just means I have to be extra careful.

The question was for istsalgood

I watched a youtube video on how the s4 screen doesn''t scratch. He took a knife to it in all directions, a fork, a penny..ect. Not sure if that is true? But if so then you really don't need a screen protector.

That Is a lie because my s4 was already with scratches on the screen before it crach. And I was very carefully with it.

 

[meaghanyvonne]

Ah okay well I wasn't chancing it anyways. I have a screen protector on nine and I can't even tell it's there.

If you really had been careful with it, it wouldn't have been scratched. Your definition of careful must be very different to mine.

I am careful and I have had an iPhone 3, Galaxy S2, iPhone 5 and a Galaxy S4 all of which saw very heavy use. I have never dropped any of them and haven't had a single scratch on a screen in 5 years.

That's careful.

The video is very true. It is extremely difficult to scratch the Gorilla Glass with a knife or key or most other metal objects, but get a grain of sand between the glass and another hard surface and see how un-scratchable it is!!

I guess I'm very careful with my phones.... My phone has become a fashion accessory I guess you could say. I change cases with my outfits and consequently have a huge case collection. (Moving from the S3 to the S4 hurt a little). I buy all of my cases from amazon.com for at the most, 5 bux, usually around a dollar. I don't care for bulk or for cases which detract from the lines of the phone and as I said earlier, I guess I'm careful.

I can't say that I've not dropped my phone, because I have, but I've never broken a phone or scratched a screen. No, I don't keep my phone in my purse at all - I can't hear it ring in there despite the claim that the volume is amplified in some way when the phone is in a pocket or purse, so I keep it in my hand 90% of the time.

I say all that to say, that for my use of the phone, cheapy cases have served me quite well over the years.

I am using speck candyshell grip. Excellent protection and worth the money. My younger brother using otterbox defender series and it's good too. Real waterproof case. However I find defender series too bulky and not my style.

Both of us bought our case mobijoystore.com

Yes I do. Probably don't need it, but since my phone is an investment, I choose to protect it. I use a Zagg Invisible Shield. (The case and screen protector cost a lot less then replacing my phone.)

Had The Defender ...selling it for $30 (actually two cases and one belt hook). I just found it too bulky for me. Looking for a minimal rubber bumper.
