Spigen Slim Armor Galaxy S5 Case with Air Cushion Technology and Hybrid Drop Protection for Samsung Galaxy S5 2014 - Metal Slate

I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S5 phone and wanted a case that both fit and protected the phone, looked good, and did not add unnecessary bulk to the phone's profile. After doing a lot of shopping on Amazon I decided upon this case after reading its reviews. I am happy to report that the case appears to meet all of my needs. It attached to the phone without any problems (even after I installed a screen protector on the phone) and fit perfectly. All of the ports and buttons work great. The charging port is slightly more difficult to get to (and it was, for me at least, anyway before I attached the case), but the case doesn't interfere with charging the phone. The color of the case is really nice and its texture is complimentary. I can slip the phone into my pants pocket without any trouble at all.I am very happy with this case and would recommend it to others with an S5 phone.

Spigen has put onto the market a rather slick and beautifully designed case to help protect my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. It's amazingly easy to put on in comparison to the Otterbox Commuter case I had purchased for my previous phone the Samsung Galaxy S3. It's also slim fitting and light weight. It adds very little bulk and weight to my phone yet the case is sturdy and firm enough to make me feel secure that my phone could withstand a reasonable amount of punishment if dropped. One extra plus is that this case does an exceptional job of covering up a majority of the hideous plastic chrome that surrounds the edges of the Galaxy S5.But with that said, as an owner of this case, in my mind I find it has at least one major design flaw. That flaw is that this case does not have enough grip for me to have a secure hold when holding my phone for use. The outer case is a little too slick for my liking. I've already had my phone slip out of my hand a few times. Luckily I've only dropped it onto a leather couch, bed, and from a drop of about 3-4 inches onto my computer desk. And of course, my phone survived. Really, what wouldn't? But what good is the case that is meant to help protect the phone if it is also part of the problem? Adding some ribs or ridges to the edges for my thumb and fingers to help grip onto would have been good.I may still end up using this case, but in the mean time, I have already purchased a different case for my phone to try out. This is a decent phone case, especially for it's price. It would have been nice to have it come with a screen protector, but it didn't. Oh well, I hope this review helps out.

Case construction: 5 starsThe case maintains the phone's slim profile. Although I have no intent on testing its protection claims, the high quality materials and construction gives the case a solid feel and I'm confident that it will protect the phone, at least from a minor drop.Case grip: 3 starsMy biggest concern is the hard exterior cover. The dimpled surface maintans the S5's original look, but it's hard plastic and SLICK! The dimpled surface doesn't aid grip whatsoever. With increasing screen sizes, most smartphones are getting bigger and more difficult to hold securely during one-hand operation. This cover doesn't instill a lot of confidence that it won't accidentally slip out of my hand at some point. I have decent sized hands, so if I lack confidence in the case's tactile grip, good luck to those with smaller hands. If you purchase this case and fall into the "smaller hands" group, it's in your best interest to make sure you always have a firm grip on your phone. If you're distracted or operating your phone absent-mindedly, there's a good chance you will eventually drop it.

I am notoriously bad when it comes to abusing phones. My previous device (A Galaxy S4) was a Frankenstein phone by the time I replaced it with this new Galaxy S5. Multiple screen replacements. Internal parts replaced due to a nice warm bath in a salt water hot tub... lots of drops... Part of the reason for the screen damage was that I had an extended battery in th ephone, which not only increased the weight, but also didn't allow for a good protective case. When I DID have a case on the S4, I used the Otterbox Commuter Series because of the form factor and protection and I am a huge fan of otterbox, so that is my point of reference.I really like the way the Slim Armor case feels on my S5. It is still very slim but also quite solid. I've dropped the phone once on concrete from waist high. it resulted in some slight dings to the edge of the case, but so far so good. The interior rubber shell feels much more firm than the otterbox rubber. I still feel the otterbox commuter may be a slightly more solid protection, but the Slim Armor is solid and more sleek (at least compared to the S4 Otterbox commuter case).I also purchased Anker tempered glass screen protector, which works just fine with the Spigen Slim Armor case on the S5Even though I am

[Edit 17/09/19]Pensavo meglio, dopo soli tre anni di utilizzo gli angoli hanno iniziato a creparsi, e il bordino ai lati dello schermo ha iniziato a staccarsi e perdere pezzi. Alla fine l'ho buttata e sostituita con una più economica della JETech.Cercavo una cover per il mio Galaxy S5 Neo, che fosse protettiva il giusto, e al tempo avesse un occhio di riguardo per il design e l'estetica, e credo di averla trovata.La cover presenta una cornice in TPU (che ad ogni modo pensavo fosse più morbida) e una parte esterna in un materiale plastico rigido tipo policarbonato. I tasti sono coperti, le varie uscite sono perfettamente accessibili, tutta la cornice presenta un minimo rialzo che protegge lo schermo qualora si appoggi il telefono su superfici piane. Anche la fotocamera posteriore, sporgente in questo telefono, è protetta da un leggero rialzo, quanto basta per non fare rigare il vetro. Ottimo anche il grip e la presa in mano.>>> In risposta ad alcune domande comuni: <<<1 - La cover è perfettamente compatibile anche con il Galaxy S5 Neo2 - Non consigliata nel caso si utilizzi la batteria maggiorata o il modulo per la ricarica wireless3 - La versione Slim Armor di questa cover non aumenta troppo lo spessore del telefono4 - Nella confezione è presente un tagliando con un codice da validare on-line sul sito del produttore, che ne attesta l'autenticità.5 - La confezione NON include alcuna pellicola protettiva per lo schermoRingrazio un utente che l'aveva suggerita in un'altra recensione.Spero di esservi stato utile.

Sono passati più di tre anni. Sembra ancora praticamente nuova. Nessun graffio al cellulare causato dalla cover. Protezione totale, lo ha salvato da due cadute. Penso che prenderò sempre una Spigen se sarà disponibile per ogni mio smartphone futuro. Lo ingrandisce di circa 3 mm per parte, ma ne vale la pena, e, a dire il vero, non lo trovo così ingombrante.

Gleich vorweg: Ich habe die Hülle fürs S5 Neo gekauft, allerdings sind die Maße zum S5 100 % identisch.Sie sieht super schick aus und sitz gut am Handy selbst.ABER: die Buttons sind absolut nicht zu gebrauchen! Kurioserweise funktionieren die Buttons ohne die Plastik-Shell (also nur in der Gummihülle) einwandfrei. Sobald man diese furchtbar dünne, biegsame und wenig vertrauenserweckende Rückseite allerdings montiert, ist der Druckpunkt absolut miserabel. Die Tasten reagieren zwar, aber man merkt nicht, dass man sie überhaupt bedient. Der Power-Button klemmt sogar, sodass der Bildschirm bei einer hauchzarten Berührung an und aus geht. Die Knöpfe scheinen also durch die Hülle stark unter Spannung zu stehen.Ich bin wirklich frustriert, weil die Hülle vielversprechend aussah und ich bisher noch keine andere Hybrid-Hülle mit vergleichbarem Design finden konnte.Für 20 € hätte ich mehr erwartet...

Habe mir das Slim Armor Case bestellt weil die Rezensionen gut waren und sie mir auch von der Optik gut gefiel.Als ich ich sie bekam war ich zuerst begeistert von der guten passgenauigkeit und der festen Oberfläche. Dieser Eindruck wurde dann aber im Alltäglichen Gebrauch getrügt. Ich konnte das S5 aufgrund der glatten Schale nur schwer aus der Hosentasche ziehen. Es macht das Handy auch ziemlich groß. Zumindest fühlt es sich so an.Der eigentliche Grund weil ich es zurück geschickt habe ist aber das ich die Hülle nicht gut in der Hand halten konnte. Sie ist zu glatt. Sodas ein Einhändiger Betrieb unmöglich wird.Ansonsten ist es eine gute Hülle die guten Schutz bietet. Aber mir sagt meine alte Silikonhülle mehr zu!

Ich habe mir als Nachfolger für mein S3 das S5 ausgesucht. Das S3 hatte ich gebraucht gekauft und es hatte somit schon ein paar Kratzer und Macken weshalb ich selbst nicht wirklich auf das gute Stück aufgepasst habe. Das S5 habe ich neu gekauft, somit wollte ich auch des es entsprechend geschützt ist. Ich bin auf der suche nach einer Schutzhülle auf dieses Modell gestoßen. Das Design und der Preis gefiel mir, also habe ich es mir gekauft. Als es ankam habe ich es zuerst begutachtet. Die Hülle besteht aus zwei Teilen. Der Innere Gummiteil und der äußere Plastikteil. Das Gummi soll vermutlich das S5 vor Stößen schützen in dem es den Stoß abfedert. Der Plastikteil hält stärkere Schläge aus. Alles wirkt sehr stabil und das S5 passt problemlos hinein. Insgesamt wirkt das S5 dicker, dass stört mich aber nicht. Ich würde mir die Hülle wieder Kaufen.
