They should start making cases for extended batteries.

If this included a holster it would be a definite go, but for now I'll stick with my defender and my dualtek

Just got mine today and it works great with the seidio active holster. Very nice case.

Had mine and the holster for a couple of weeks. The holster is also a kickstand, but kinda tricky to use landscape.

How do the buttons compare to the commuter case?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

Much easier to press. Not so stiff.

I think its just the flash. Around the camera and speaker have the same texture as the case. Just like the defender.

How is the feel? Is it hard or soft? Would it stick to pocket while going in/out and attract lint?

i would wait a few more weeks for the other colors to come becase those colors are:silly: but not bad on the price

This, that's my biggest issue with the commuter. If its still an ice slick plastic I'm not interested but if otter box has improved the surface it looks decent.

Let me know how bulky that ends up being. Or if it adds a decent lip to the front of the phone. I was looking at some of the other Tridea models as well, but I want something that will keep the face of the phone off of the desk if I have it upside down.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
My reasoning for staying away from either of the 2 tridea bumper cases is that the back is so exposed it looks like the camera lens would touch the surface of whatever you lay it on and get scratched

Metal case

Is there any metal cases for the s4? Not aluminum but real metal
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
well...
first off aluminum is a real metal, so not sure what you mean by that. what metal would you like to see? I haven't seen one that is solid metal. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/29/buy-this-metal-back-cover-for-your-galaxy-s4-if-youre-tired-of-the-plastic/
there is one back cover.
the other one I know of is the spigen slim armor, But it is not all metal either. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW6GIP2
If you have great signal where you're at... awesome, but if you struggle with signal, getting a metal case isn't a good idea from my experience. You may lose a bar or two. I have had more cases than I can count, ordering them like a kid in a candy store, except this time around with the S4. Having had issues before, if you do get one, I'd be interested in how it works for you because I wouldn't mind having a metal case myself.

The spigen has no metal whatsoever. It's polycarbonate and tpu.

My mistake then, I know previous spigen cases have had metal versions in the past. with a quick amazon search I saw it and just assumed.
Hey I actually found one.. It took me a while but they do have a metal case here's the link... http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/

Go to any Decathlon store: they have plenty of colors , generic armbands.
I know you said armband but you should check out flipbelt.com I was looking for an armband til I found this. You forget its on, nothing moves around and can just cover with your shirt. Its really thin too.

I use it for running and I've never had to flip it either. Its pretty secure without doing it since its stretchy material. Good thing about it is you can stuff things anywhere so phone up front and keys a safe distance away.

What case are you using

I haven't had any luck finding a case yet in the mall and the cases at the store were ugly. I hate shopping amazon bc the pics never show the real quality and protection. Just curious as to what people are using as far as brands thus far. I love the feel but I need to protect this $708 investment!

Diztronic high gloss clear TPU, probably the same one as rick. Works great.
I am using Tech21 smoke/grey one. Though it was my only choice, it fits just right and buttons aren't that hard to press. (Hint: press home button to wake the phone)

I got this cheap s view case from ebay
no it does not have all the functions nor does it use the back plate thing
It is just a filler till I get a better one
I just received my Spigen case - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCICXMU/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Fitment is good, it adds minimal thickness to the device, and seems like it will add just enough protection to make me happy. I had a similar case on my Note II and was very happy.

Make sure to update us when you get it. I'm really thinking about that case, but $25 seems steep.
Hate buying these thin devices and bulking them up. Had a similar snap on polycarbonate on my last phone.

I went cheap and got this one in clear
http://www.wowparts.com/tpu-cover-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3-n9000-n9002-n9005/
under 4 bucks, hopefully it'll last
decided to go with a cheap TPU for just under $2 shipped from ebay, I prefer TPU over the minimalist cases because it protects the top and bottom of the phone.

Using the diztronic clear frost. Lightweight and provides enough protection. Also its slightly see through so you can see the back of the phone
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Another Diztronic user. I posted in the other thread as well, but it looks like it got buried. Reposting in case others are interested. I'm also waiting for a Spigen Neo Hybrid to ship.
Fit and finish is excellent.
I will be using a Uag case when it comes

A little off topic, but care to share your lockscreen app/theme?
And I actually purchased that same Diztronic case thanks to your post in the other thread. I figured it was pretty simplistic enough to get me through as I wait for my neo hybrid.
