Samsung Galaxy S4 Cases: A Short Round-Up

Every mobile phone owner will always tell you to have a case wrapped around it all the time. Why? Well, obviously, it helps out in protecting your mobile device, whether it may be a tablet computer or a smart phone. Whatever it is made of, a case or skin provides sacrificial protection to the electronic device, may it be something petty and superficial like scratches, smudges and dirt, to something extreme like shocks and potential software damage sustained from falls, chipping and water damage. They also help out in the looks department, it enhances the aesthetics of the phone. If one phone has scratches on the back, it can easily be concealed by a case, making the user lose his or her insecurity and prevents further scratching. These are usually made from plastic, vinyl and leather.

If you happen to be a Samsung Galaxy S4 owner, owning a top-quality case is a must. Despite the light and sturdy aluminum shell and hardy Gorilla Glass 3, the smart phone is still prone to scratching. This blog entry will round up the must-have cases for your Samsung Galaxy S4, a complete contrast to the last entry wherein we talked about iPhone cases. These were made by reputable brands and manufacturers and were infused with cutting edge design, high technology and top-quality materials.

iLuv Bolster

 

Ahhh. The iLuv Bolster for the Samsung Galaxy S4. The company iLuv is one of the leading smart phone and tablet accessory manufacturers, making it one of the most reputable brands in today's market. The Bolster is a foldable cover case providing a lot of versatility. You are able to turn it into a customizable stand, enabling you to watch videos hands-free from your Galaxy S4. It is made of a hard shell (yet soft) material designed for easy and comfortable handling while not compromising protection. The cover is pretty much its trump card, allowing you to place it in your pocket along with coins, keys and other scratch-inducing materials. It is also designed for calls and conversation even with the cover closed to protect the screen from oil and sweat potentially coming from the user's ear. It also maintains easy access to the phone's ports and connectors. 

 

Incipio Feather Shine

 

Probably one of the lightest covers in the market, weighing it 0.4 ounces, Incipio's feather shine is made up of hard polycarbonate providing sturdy protection without sacrificing form and figure, denying scratches, dents and possible damage from falls. It's sleek, shiny and feathery light shell allows easy handling and impeccable good looks – a perfect fit for the Galaxy S4. It doesn't sacrifice functionality as well, providing access to ports, controls and utilities like the cameras for example.

 

Moshi Overture

The Moshi Overture is probably one of the most versatile cases in this list. In using this, the phone is covered from top to bottom (without obstructing the cameras and ports) by the case's soft synthetic fabric and leather  reinforced with a strong polycarbonate frame. It is also equipped with a cover to protect the S4's screen when not in use. Its aces however are the three slots in the interior of its cover designed to support three cards, like your credit card, ID or business cards for example, and the Neato microfiber cloth freebie (which has its own tiny pocket)  which allows you clean your phone's screen easily. It's like a fully functional wallet and case hybrid.  

 

Otterbox Defender

 

This case is primarily designed for protection. It provides three-pronged protection; its outer silicone layer provides initial external protection like scratches and dents and cushioning it whenever the phone falls. The hard polycarbonate helps out in protecting the phone completely from hard knocks and impacts. The case also comes with a built-in screen protector, which provides screen protection while not compromising access to the touchscreen and sensors. It also repels dust and other small solid substances from entering the phone. Lastly, it comes with a belt-clip holster which allows you to firmly attach it to your belt. 

 

Griffin Survivor

 

The Griffin Survivor, like the Otterbox Defender, is primarily designed for protection. The phone meets the standards of US Dept of Defense MIL-STD-810, which really outlines the tough quality protection it provides. It is primarily made of silicone, which repels wind, rain and other debris without sacrificing functionality (access to ports, jacks and cameras) and aesthetics, since it looks really, really, awesome and it is available in several colors with a sleek, matte finish.
