I purchased my cases off ebay.

My Otterbox defender makes it so hard to get my S pen out... think I might have to start looking for another case :-(

Really? I have big hands and have no problem click the little nub out and grab it with the tip of your nail works even with short nails.

I am starting to work around it by using my nails... I paid too much for this case.. I don't wanna give it up!! Thanks

I just ordered it also...i have owned about 10 cases from seidio and they are nice.

Mine is due to be delivered on Monday so I'm going to be itching to get my N5 working once it's in its case. It's killing me having it sit on my desk until then but I don't want to risk dropping it or getting any damage to it. If I didn't use my phone at work a lot it would be a different story.

I just received the Samsung brand Ultra Slim Clear Protective Cover from shopandroid.com. I hate big bulky cases so this thing is perfect for me!! Highly recommend

Anyone try the Tumi Case. Looks nice. Any history of using other ones.

Does the defender impede the wireless charging?

I ordered one from Spigen off Ebay last week and just got it. It was suppose to come with a screen protector and they forgot to send it. So to fix their screw up they sent me out a pack of 3 screen protectors

Any waterproof cases out there?

I am having the same problem with this phone as my old S4..The phone is so slick (slippery) that it easily slides out of my pants pocket when I sit down. With my old S4, I just went on eBay and found a new Back/Battery cover that was faux leather and had a little grip. I don't like cases because they add bulk and my phone is in my pocket 95% of the time so it is not needed.
I need the same thing for my Note 5 but obviously I can't replace the back. I just need something that will give it a little grip to keep it in my pocket.

I picked up the Otterbox DEFENDER series case in black for my note 5 on Friday at wireless wave, it was the last one!!!! Its not as bulky as the former defender series for previous note phones. I owned the note 3 and man that case was like holding a brick. So far so good, I dropped it as soon as I put the case on, outside on cement and it bounced like nothing could do it harm. 100 dollars well spent to Protect something 10 times that amount.

You got some good Karma,the timing of your purchase couldn't have been any better.
Time to go buy some Lottery tickets..................

I picked up these
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01196ZZH6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 (use this when I wear blue jeans. The jeans color rubs off on clear and white. Very cheap, looks great. protection is minimal, especially where the pen housing is. They cut too much for easy access, so if it drops on that corner there will be a problem.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013D1P1CY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s02 (If I want a little more protection. I've used these on ipads and they have been great. Unfortunatley there is a slight air bubble on the sides which I can't get rid of)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010R8CE4O?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 (This is my favorite so far, although I'm not too keen on the minimal clearance for the screen protection. That said my white note 5 looks very good in this case. I do like the covers over the headphone jack and usb charger holes)

Along with the tech 21 case I have a nice set of cases. (I'm sure I'll get more lol). I wish the tech 21 was in clear, grey or white. Currently only in black.

I recently switched back to an Android from the IPhone 6+ and got the Note 5. I purchased the INCIPIO case to keep it safe...I work in quarries and there are many sharp objects around....I know I would like to show the beauty of the phone off, but in this work environment no way! I have been a Speck case user for a few years now and love them! They have a nice grip to them and hold up very well.

Alright,going against my original plans of going w/o a case & in the absence of a TPU backless bumper frame available,I ordered a somewhat minimal OEM Samsung Case:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EF-QN920CBEGUS
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-Gal...77830406?var=570803214104&hash=item3f53245806

I ordered from e-Bay for a couple reasons:
1) Overall less expensive,even with Samsung's 30% discount code that came w/registering the phone w/them.
2) Do not care for UPS shipping,which is what Samsung uses.Based on my personal experiences, given an alternative to UPS,I'll take the alternative every time.

Anyhoo,it may take a little longer to get to arrive,but,that's OK w/me.

Got here a bit sooner than expected.While I opted for express shipping,I wasn't expecting delivery in 2.5 days,very nice.
No surprises here,a perfect fit & easy installation/removal,not a lot of effort for either,yet,still feels secure/in place.
Yes,this case is somewhat of a compromise between protection & feel-in-hand.The latter ranks high on my list for this phone,so,for my use,this case fits.
Admittedly,this case isn't providing as much protection as most,but,at least the backside & corners are covered, providing a buffer to a lot of potential damage.This protection is extended to the front side as well,as the corners are raised just enough to enable placing the phone face-down on a flat/clean surface without worry.
Wireless Charging works flawlessly w/the case installed,no worries there whatsoever.
The material is listed as a hard plastic,but,it doesn't really feel all that cheap,actually has a grippy feel to it,not slick as say,the backside of an LG G2.
The added thickness w/the case installed doesn't really change the feel-in-hand/grip,as the exposed sides still give way to most of the curved edge,retaining the same comfort level.
Overall,I'm quite pleased,it fits my needs.
I'd prefer a bumper only/backless frame,but,the only ones available ATM are metal & from appearances,are not well designed.Seen similar w/other phones & they're cheaply made,ill-fitting after the foam lining disintegrates.
The corner edge protection on this case somewhat addresses the design I'm looking for & until NILLKIN makes their bumper frame for this phone,as they did w/the Note4,:

this case will do the trick.

Did anybody order a case yet?

Speck Candy Shell Grip black and white was ONLY case available at my Best Buy 8/29 (too masculine looking but NICE, secure feel in hand. So... desperately Amazon ordered Verus Hi Pro Shield in black/gold (to make up for no gold Note5!) -- very cute but cheap feel and sides VERY slippery (returning). Also Amazon ordered Spigen Slim Armor in black & gold. All over slippery, no grippy anything (returning). Also eBay ordered my standard go to ... iFace Mall -- gold, grippy sides, cute, protective, thin, raised lip (love it)!

 

[Nomusa53]

This is what I ordered View attachment 92381

Very cute .... but .... as slippery as the phone itself. I ordered the gold one and am returning.

 

[Nomusa53]

No... I went the cheap way!! I learned my lesson!!

I got the official Samsung wireless charger (must be plugged into wall ( FREE with my Note 5 from Best Buy (and $200 for giving them my VERY old, yukky Droid Pro from back of a drawer). But ... Saw a UTuber with "QI Stone Charger" which is truly no wires -- not plugged into wall. May swap!! He showed several cases and how they worked with the QI. Only the BULKY THICK cases seemed not to work. But even still, u often have to slide phone WITH CASE around until u find SWEET SPOT on Samsung wireless charger.

 

[brerarnold]

Can't wait to get mine

I got the Spigen Note 5 Case Wallet. $19.99 on Amazon. Classy looking. I've dropped it twice (d'oh!) and no harm to the phone or case! It has handy slots for credit cards (but I use them for business cards instead), a pocket for some cash (not much or it will bulge), and can be set up as a kickstand, which is a great feature. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a win (as Flossy Carter always says.)

Oh yeah, and it works with the wireless charger!

 

[samcraig]

Anyone have this one? It's from Speck. I had one on my S2 Skyrocket and most recently on my S4. Love the case - it's just a little "pricy" compared to other offerings. I picked up a Note 5 this weekend and think that I will likely just stick with the Speck...

Just got this case from Amazon, I am very impressed with the fit and finish. Got it for $17 Free shipping.

I purchased this case also. It is snug good looking and effective.

 

[Proctorc]

I have the neo hybrid and an otterbox. I really enjoy the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Keeps it slim while allowing for alot of protection. The added kickstand is just a plus to.
