Need an S4 case with a front cover

ShaggyRS6 · 27 Jun 2013 at 20:57

Hi all, I currently have a Speke hard case that really looks nice but it's not protecting my screen. I hate screen protectors so can you help spec me a sleeve or wallet type case for the S4

Thanks!!

How about the official flip case? Looks great and seems exactly like what you're after!

I did look at those and they might be the way to go. Thanks

I have this: http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s4-cases/galaxy-s4-leather-case-slim-wallet-s.html

It's pretty great, especially the stand feature.

Solid. Tech21 screen protectors are awesome too. They might change your misconceptions for screen protectors as the material is really different to the usual ones and they leave no bubbles with little effort

I have this one, problem is the cover flips open and it doesn't have sleep mode.

I just got my spigen armor view case today from a uk seller off eBay, its really good..just a bit of a cat hair magnet being rubberised.

I previously had an Ileader case which was very nice too, but I had to cut the plastic out in order to be able to swipe it easily, which then worked perfectly but didnt look good.

I've got the Tech21 as posted above and the top left part where the corner sits bit of plastic has broken on its self accord. Not dropped it or anything but I use that point to remove the phone from the case. Contacted Tech21 5 days ago and no response at all. Sad as I base companies on their service will avoid future products of theirs if they choose to ignore my email. Now on the hunt for a new case.

I kind of feel like a bit of a pleb now as since making that post the top left corner of my case has cracked in the exact same manner and the suede has come apart from the leather front.

Not heard the word pleb in a long time. Makes me homesick. Pleb!!

Glad I'm not the only one having issues with it, shame though as it's a nice case and the D30 would help for falls.

Have emailed them as well so hopefully we get a response, it's clearly a pretty bad design defect!
It is a real shame as it's a nice looking case and despite the crack at the top (which hasn't effected the structure of the case at all) I'm still confident it is a solid case and D30 is a nice bit of technology.
Guessing you've seen this:

I doubted it's legitimacy in the original video with the iPhone 5 but this has confirmed it for me. Awesome screen protector and so easy to apply.
