New to this phone

Hello everyone, my names Tiffany and my android journey started a few months ago. I started on the Iphone 4S went to Lg Optimus G, didnt like it so I tried the Iphone 5, didnt like it went to the Lg Optimus G, after having problems with the phone and getting it replaced I went to the Samsubg Galaxy S3, it ate battery life so I went back to the iPhone 4S. I had taken my mom from the iPhone 4 to a LG Optimus G then a Motorola Atrix HD. She hated both phones, I gave her my iPhone 4S and took the Motorola Atrix HD for one whole day. I hated it so now I have the Samsung Galaxy S4 and not sure how to work it, any cool games? Cases?

Hello and welcome, Tiffany. :)

Oh, you'll see dozens of suggestions for "must have apps" and great accessories, etc. The S4 is one great device and has spawned quite a lot of app/game developer contributions and cases/holsters, etc. Hang on for a great ride. ;)

Wow, that's quite the journey! One advantage to the S4 is there should be lots of choices for cases and such. Possibly too much choice. I'm just using the free case that Costco gave me. It's similar to this basic case.

Amazon.com: BoxWave UniColor Galaxy S4 Case - Sleek Dual Tone TPU Case for Durable Anti-Slip Protection, Transparent Matte Back with Solid Border for Samsung Galaxy S4 SIV S IV- Galaxy S4 Cases and Covers (Super Blue): Cell Phones & Accessories

I'm not terribly clumsy, so I don't need much of a case, and also I wanted a case that wouldn't interfere with my car docks.

I'm not into games, sorry. As to the rest, Android is fairly flexible. As mentioned in another thread, I have most the Samsung features turned off, except Stay Smart (the screen timeout feature) and the one that tracks your head for rotation of the screen.

I was debating this s4 vs the active i have 13 days to decied. Im searching amazon for a owl case at the moment. I been playing with a few of the apps on the phone already. They seem fun.
