Help with new case

So I ordered the "ultra-fit" Spigen case and, while it's beautifully made and obviously a quality product I was dismayed to find that it was super-slippery (like holding a piece of ice on a 90 degree day slippery!!!). Back it goes.

My requirements for a case are as follows:

*Very slim fit -- even minimal protection is fine

*Must have cutouts for the power/volume rocker -- rubber overlays render the buttons very hard to push effectively

*Must have at least decent grip -- not necessarily rubbery sticky, but something that makes it secure

*Must have a really good cutout on the bottom for the charger door to allow full access for a car charger, etc.

That's pretty much does it for my wish list.

Any suggestions?
 
This Speck CandySkin Grip case
Amazon.com: Speck Products Samsung Galaxy S5 CandyShell Grip- Black/Slate - Carrying Case - Retail Packaging - Black/Slate: Cell Phones & Accessories

This is what I am using. There is no way it will slip out of your hands.

And yes, it has full size opening for all of the required points.
Camera, headset, IR beam, speaker, USB ports.

The push button have non-slip button covers that work very well. Just as good, if not better, than the OEM buttons which are slippery.

+1 on the Speck. Buttons are really responsive. If they're not, you may have a fake, but the originals work great. Candyshell and the Spigen glas Tr Nano screen protector make a nice combo.
 
I have a Spigen Tough Armor. I love it. The buttons are not cut out but they are not really stiff. No issues at all. And the cutout for the charger is pretty large. It's not slippery at all. Definitely worth a shot.
