I have a bumper case from Maxboost that fits my needs perfectly. It adds a lot of grip without a lot of bulk, and keeps the screen off the table when I lay the phone down face-down. It's $10 on Amazon.

It fits the phone well. I don't expect it to offer the most protection in case of a drop, but the extra grippy-ness helps prevent a drop in the first place.

Do you have a link?

Here it is,w/the black frame (other colors available)

This has the clear back,perhaps not what you're looking for in a bumper/edge-only frame:

Got this one in today:

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Matte Black Slim Deluxx Case

Let me start by stating I DID NOT spend $39.99 on this case.
I had a 90% off coupon code.
Even w/that steep discount,don't waste your money.
It gets an "A" for looks (minimalist matte black) & fit,but,that same matte finish contributes to a surprisingly very slick feel-in-hand.
Also,virtually no protection afforded to the top & bottom of the phone at all.
For those w/the wireless charging cover desperate for any cover that will fit,this is not the one,no surprises there,not really expecting any rigid cases to fit that bill.

Overall,on a school-grade scale from A to F,I'd have to give this one a D-,look elsewhere for something beyond minimal protection.

Hey all, just put the Tough Armour case on my Note 4 and the power button is really hard to press, the volume ones are okay but the power isnt, is anyone else having this issue?

Ive tried pulling the side of the case a bit to try and see if its alligned properly but the case is that snug i cant

EDIT: I took the case off and put it back on but just put the rubbery bit on and it was working fine, put the plastic bit back on and its working better than before but not as good as just with the rubber, it musnt have been allignd properly

I had Otterbox Defenders on my Note 2 and my Note 3.

The bulkyness doesn't bother me at all.

I will have one on my Note 4 as well.

I had the note 2 and had the book cover case on it. I hardly ever dropped my phones. One day it slipped out of my hand and hit the ground just perfect and shattered my screen. Got the Note 3 thereafter and now the Note 4....only use otterbox from now on.

Like you the bulk isn't bothersome to me. As long as its protected.

I have a couple of cases, but this one just came in the mail and it is my favorite. I love the flowers, it's grippier than the naked phone, and it is much smaller and lighter feeling (and looking) than the red Caseology case I had on it before.

Also have one of these but I don't like the color as much with my black phone as I thought I would.

Waiting for this fun case to show up as well.

I have both the Verus Iron Shield and spigen neo hybrid. The Verus is so much better, Feels way better if you have small hands. With the spigen I was constantly worried I would drop the phone w, th one handed use. The verus though has some horrid buttons, Almost deal breaking. My volume buttons are extremely stiff. I tried modding it by adding tape on the inside but it still feels very stiff and they barely work. There's no click sound or Feeling at all.

I bought another Urban Armor gear Case. have one on my note 2, and it's done a great job. So I'm trying the clear one on the Note 4. I haven't had to deal with the company itself so far, as the case has held up to everything, including a small child. But I've heard stories, they can be hard to deal with, have purchased from 3rd parties. No regrets either way.

I need a Note 4 case that fits with the wireless charging back. Any suggestions? I like a slim fit case like an incipio feather case.
This one fits,but,it's far from slim:

I applaud the protection this one provides,but,the overall size is a bit much for me to use as a daily driver,not to mention the extra weight (I have to tote around enough stuff during the course of a typical workday,less is more for my use).
The screen protector that comes w/it can be easily set aside/used as you see fit (it's reusable,not the type you apply only once).
I choose to not use the screen protector.While it does not interfere w/functionality,a rainbow/glow effect is easily visible in certain angles of attack w/direct lighting.
Overall,if protection is a top priority,this is a good case to get,but the overall size & the extended lip on the face surrounding the display makes any one-handed use virtually impossible w/the exception of those who can easily palm a basketball.



I'll stick w/my bumper-only case as my daily driver (which also fits w/the wireless charging battery cover):

I wanted this case SO badly! But I read the reviews and people are having issues with the buttons being really hard to press, so I am getting the Thor case by Verus isntead. Can you please do an update on this case when you get it? If you are not having issues I will likely get it.

Ha! Well... I love the Verus case. And the buttons are far more responsive than the ones on the Otterbox Symmetry. It's slickier, nice metal touch. Go for it!
Liking the matte silver one better than the titatium; the titanium is very dark gray.

I am looking for two cases that are easy to move on and off quickly and will not damage the phone in any way when doing so often. I would like one to be very slim and basic to protect from scratches when I am at work and more serious case for when I am at home playing with my kids who are approaching a year old. Anyone have any good recommendations for two cases?
