Anyone have any recommendation for a good case?

I'm looking for something that can first and foremost protect the screen and phone as a whole against falls and other damage. I would also like to be able to clip it onto my belt.
My problem with OtterBox is it's bulkiness, it simply makes the phone huge... Any equally viable alternatives?

TIA

UAG is awesome. No clip though. It has protected my phone from multiple falls without a scratch bh.
A good protector + clip can't be small.

I tried a Spigen neo hybrid which looks nice but I couldn't take the bulkiness it added. So for now I'm just using the phone without a case and am enjoying it much more.

I have the Seidio Dilex and I love it. It protects the phone and clips into a holster.

I like the SPigen Tough Armour but again no clip

Currently using this with a screen protector.
I like it. It does add a little bit of bulk, but I got tired of using a holster that shredded my belts.
It fits in both front pants pocket as well as shirt pockets.

Im on a sprint s3 and considering the s5. Has there been any change to the ability to use data and phone at the same time? Worth it to just go with the S4?

Also- can someone with a sprint version comment on the ability to remove the SIM? The S3 has an embedded sim which is quite annoying.

S3 has data at the same time as calls. Iirc s4 doesn't, dunno about s5. I have the g2 and also doesn't work same time.

Adlebo · « **Reply #270 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:13:53 PM »

S5 doesn't. Unless you're on Wi-Fi

Yordai Dooma · « **Reply #271 on:** June 01, 2014, 01:15:10 PM »

So S2, S4, and S5 doesnt while the S3 does? pretty strange

cozmohoot · « **Reply #272 on:** June 01, 2014, 06:22:49 PM »

My sprint s3 definitely had Web working while on the phone

Yes. I believe it is a "sprint spark" thing

Has anyone here bought extra chargers, car chargers, batteries etc?
Whats the deal with the different size charger?
Lots of mixed comments online like the 2.0a charger and 3.0 cable combination give a faster charge.
Any truth to all that? if i need multiple chargers, should i be buying extras or just use the old ones i have from previous phones?

I've been using my old chargers no problem. Maybe they don't charge as fast by they work fine.
