I had the Otterbox Defender on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and it gave great protection but added a lot of bulk. I am very happy with my Otterbox Commuter Case right now on my Samsung Galaxy S6 phone in the Periwinkle/purple color (comes in a lot of colors) with a tempered screen that makes the phone very clear and as if nothing is on the screen as it is still sensitive to the touch. My phone is not that much bigger but protected and I am happy.

Best buy had only 2 cases when I picked mine up. Going to roll screen protector only until I find the right one. Keep those cases coming!
I used the Otterbox Defender screen protector that came with the case on my prior phone and it was not that sensitive to the touch and got dirty easily. On my new phone I bought the Otterbox Commuter case that comes with a screen protector but since it is not attached to part of the case, I bought tempered glass and I love how sensitive my touch is now and how clear the phone is as well as being protected.

I may get this or the clear spigen.

I also picked up the Tech 21 case at Best Buy(where I purchased the phone). It's black so does not match the aesthetics of the white note, but it looks like it's a good protector. Malleable but sturdy.
I purchased that for my prior white phone 3 years ago and it was slippery and did not protect my phone so I gave it away for free.

Amazon already has tons of posted cases but i will stick to my otter box i drop my phone too much to have less protection that and an glass screen protector off of amazon just a $7 one prolly get a better one once i build my funds up. I pop the crapy otter box plastic protectors out mine lasted 3 days and it had a bunch of divits in it... love the look. Of the phone but i am 6'6" my phone falls like 5'6" when i drop it lol.

Edit already dropped it 3 times in a week lol

Any slim cases that won't scratch the phone by removing the phone and putting it back on? I'm leaning towards the Note 5, and I'd like a minimal case as I'm sure I'll be showing the phone off to anyone who asks, hell, even those who don't ask, lol. I will probably end up with an Otterbox at some point, but for now something that will add some protection and at the same time keep it looking mint. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Devin

That is why I always have an Otterbox on my phone. I tried other brands but I did not feel safe. I opted for the slimmer Otterbox this time since I wanted the tempered glass. Otterbox should have a tempered fox version of the Defender without the clip. The commuter is so much easier to keep clean and does not take up so much room in my purse and I feel protected.

Hiya Devin!
I've merged your thread into the existing thread discussing cases. Perhaps someone has suggested something you are looking for, or can chime in here :D

I have looked at comuters and they have the same problem that life proofs have just dont feel like enough drop protection that and i heavly use the clip so i get the one that comes with it. Had to go to a verizon store to find it since i got the phone last monday no one had cases got lucky they had got their shipment. The clip helps keep it in my pocket at work and makes it less of a bulge when i move around as it hangs half in half out. But i also have huge pockets li can fit my note 3 and 5 in the same one both with otterboxes lol

I'm leaning towards the Seidio Dilex Pro w/ kickstand & holster but I'm not liking the $55 price tag.

I have a BestBuy Platinum(Seidio) case w/ kickstand & holster on my current S5 and love so I'll probably pony up the $ for the Dilex Pro since it may be awhile until they are available elsewhere.
I am also looking at this case...do u think the kick stand would make wireless charging not work?

I just received the clear spigen tpu case, it's very grippy and very minimal.

It's awesome

I ended up ordering the case. I'll let you all know how it is after I receive it.
