Hello everyone. Here we are today with a Samsung Galaxy S4 cases round-up.
So I've assembled all the various cases we've been sent to review over the last couple of weeks and
I thought it would be quite interesting to have a bit of a look at them all together.
There's such a wide range of different ways you can protect your Samsung Galaxy S4 or add extra
functionality to it
the choices are almost endless.
So for instance if you start with something like the Samsung official S View Cover.
With this particular case
it's very much a Samsung official product and
so it matches the look and feel of the Galaxy S4.
It also provides additional functionality and it is quite nice to have a case that isn't just
being a case but is adding something more to the kind of look and feel overall
usefulness of the smartphone.
So with the S View window you've got the ability to see notifications and alerts on the screen
but also interact with them without having to open up the flip cover.
That's a really really useful feature.
And next you've got something like
a third party case.
This is by Case Mate, and this is The Tread and the idea with The Tread
is to provide
more grip than you might normally have
from your case. As we know the Galaxy S4 has quite a shiny back on it and so with this
particular case
it has this rubberized texture and it's like a silicone Flexi Shield covering
But because of its
grippiness
textured effect, it sits in my hand really nicely.
And you've then got things like the Carbon Fiber and with the Carbon Fiber it's a slightly different style.
It still provides the classic clamshell as it were
but what you also get
is this popper that pops off around the edge so
instead of it being something that the S4 could actually fall out of potentially
if it was to unflex from the actual casing, this actually clips over the top keeping the S4
within the actual case. That's a really really useful way of keeping the case attached.
Because obviously when you're dealing with something like the Flexi Skin, yes it's got these lips around it
that's going to protect the case
but also keep it firmly attached
there is always that possibility that the corner could just get lifted
and the device prises away from it.
Then we look at something like the Classic Flip Cover
and this is another of Samsung's standard items
as it were but
the idea behind this is it provides a brand new
battery cover on the back as well as the spine and then the screen protecting the face as well.
And obviously comparing the two you can see that they're very very similar but having that S View cover there
is just an extra feature as it were.
Other than that though, very very similar cases.
And then finally the kind of extreme end.
Quite literally the Extreme end you've got
something like the Case Mate Military Grade case
and with something like this
it's a hefty piece of material,
it's a hefty piece of plastic as well
and the idea there is again your S4 is completely encased all the way round and protected
on the screen and also has
ports as well that are protected as well by rubber covers
so all in all there is so much choice in the Galaxy S4 case range
and case ranges for any smartphone. It all comes down to what are you looking to do with your smartphone?
Are you looking to use it on something like a building site or an area where
it's likely to take a lot of knocks or dust or spills?
Are you looking to have
extra functionality and save yourself bit of time, something like the S View cover?
Do you just want the basic protection do you just want the front protected and you
want the look and feel of the Samsung?
Or are you interested in the Flexi cases where
you know you want to keep the front of the screen unblemished as it were but
still provide extra grip or more protection.
And these are all features of various different cases on the market.
It's well worth taking a look at
which case is right for you because you know you might find that some cases get in the way
more than others.
So hopefully you've liked this
over the range shoot out of Galaxy S4 cases.
