The Samsung Galaxy Note started the phablet trend back in 2011 with some clouds of doubt in the air. But three years after the launch of the original Samsung Galaxy Note it looks like phablets are here to stay. This is also supported by the fact that Apple has just released its own take on the phablet market through their newest iDevice, the iPhone 6 Plus.
The newest phablet from Samsung, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 improves all the things we loved regarding the Note 3. It has an amazingly fast processor, a gorgeous 5.7 inch display and an amazing rear camera.
But a classy design and a smear proof finish aren’t sufficient to protect the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 against dents, cracks and scratches the device is prone to gather from being used every day. So we put up a list of our favorite Galaxy Note cases that are available for the new Samsung device as of now.
1. Cush Cases Flip Case – $25
You might not know about the Cush Cases manufacturer and if you do know about it, then you probably realize their cases are not the most durable ones on the market. But like most of the manufacturer’s cases, the Flip Case is more about style. The design of the case is pretty sleek with its two color design and a somewhat flexible shell for protection.
The case also has some pretty stitching around its brim to prevent shredding. But probably, the biggest attraction of the Cush Cases Flip Case is the window in front of the case that lets you see alerts and answer calls without opening the case. Also, the cover can be used to watch videos on a flat surface.
2. Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Wireless Charging Back – $35
This is a replacement back for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that offers wireless charging. Applying this case to you Samsung Galaxy Note will relieve you of the trouble of always having to plug the device into a power outlet as it lets you charge up your Note 4 wirelessly by putting it on a charger plate.
Although this case makes the Note 4 a little thicker it is still easy to put the device into your pocket. You can still pull out the battery and switch it and it doesn’t even ruin the nice look that Samsung designed for its new Note 4. The case is available in both black and white colors.
3. Spigen Wallet S Case – $25
This is the only wallet case that made it into our list because this case from Spigen is more special than any others. It’s built out of synthetic leather and has a stand you could fold for viewing at different angles as well as a design in the form of a book to reduce weight and bulkiness.
The magnetic strap on the wallet case makes sure all your contents are secure within it and you can store your driver’s license, credit cards or any other card in the inner sleeve.
Even though it’s not as convenient as the Apple Pay, you must have picked the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 for a good reason and this wallet case will make things a little easier for you.
4. Spigen Tough Armor Case – $35
Here is another Spigen case that made it on our list. This one has a 0.2 inch rim and glossy decorations. The Spigen Tough Armor Case assures protection of your device without ruining the slim frame of the Note 4.
It assures protection all around the device by making use of both a polycarbonate and TPU case. It also features a set of buttons perfectly on level with its exterior that make the case look more beautiful. The air cushion technology developed by Spigen will disperse the force coming from an impact all through the case and the foldable stand will let you place your Note 4 at two angles for viewing the device hands-free.
The case comes in seven different colors from teal to red so there are a lot of options you can choose from to best suit your preferences.
5. Spigen Neo Hybrid Case – $35
We know. This is the third Spigen Case on the list but their cases are really that awesome. Even though they are not as known for providing protection as OtterBox, Spigen is still a decent pillar among case manufacturers.
The Spigen Neo Hybrid Case offers both protection and a pretty design style at almost half the cost of the company’s competitors. The TPU case boasts a frame made out of polycarbonate which means your Note 4 is less likely to suffer any damage if dropped.
The beautiful case offers buttons made out of metal and comes in four different colors: gold, silver, red and blue. The case has a textured middle part for an improved grip and provides easy access to the camera and the ports of the Note 4.
6. Incipio DualPro Case – $35
Accessory manufacturer Incipio has several cases that will launch for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. However, only the DualPro Case is available at this moment. The really light case manufactured by Incipio offers a dual-layer protection similar to most Galaxy Note cases presented in our list by making use of a polycarbonate outer shell and an interior resistant to impacts.
This particular case is also thinner that most Galaxy Note cases and the dLAST TPE exterior protects the power and volume buttons from dust all while keeping the tactile features of the Note 4. The design of the case is pretty humble but it comes in four colors: pink, blue, gray and black.
7. OtterBox Defender Series Case – $60
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is a monster product but so are all the cases in the Defender Series produced by the OtterBox manufacturer. The durable accessory from OtterBox offers a polycarbonate inner shell and a very sturdy slipcover made to wrap around the device’s inner layer, thus delivering one of the most high quality production on the market.
The screen protector and the plugs on the Note 4’s ports keep your display entirely scratch free and don’t let any dust get in the device. Even though the case is not waterproof, the impact absorbent, tough construction of the case makes it one of the best Galaxy Note Cases available at the current time.
8. Pelican Voyager Case – $60
Even though this case is only sold through AT&T for now, it is a really good case if you are searching for a very tough protection for your phone as well as a simple design. The Pelican Voyager Case makes use of four different layers of polycarbonate and energy absorbing TPR to ensure the dispersion of shocks.
The case also features a holster clip and has a nice non-slip finish. Also, the company provides a lifetime guarantee for the Pelican Voyager Case. The slogan of the company is: “You break it, we replace it… forever.”
9. i-Blason Holster Case – $15
Taking into account the very high price of devices nowadays, coming across a good accessory for under just $20 is a real deal. The Holster Case manufactured by i-Blason is the perfect example for it offers a 360 degree belt pivot covering it as well as a holster that will keep your device safely in place with the use of a very simple locking system.
The protection of the device is guaranteed by the shock resistant polycarbonate material and an inner sleeve that is capable of absorbing shocks and has really accurate cuts that give you access to all the device’s ports. Furthermore, the i-Blaston Holster Case also offers an integrated stand which will allow you to view your device at numerous different angles.
10. Obliq Flex Pro Case – $35
This case really offers more than the price tag would make you believe it will. You can even buy the Obliq Flex Pro Case for less than $7 dollars on online stores, such as Amazon. Even though it has a very simple design that isn’t really eye-candy, the case provides a very good protection. The case has a pretty slim frame and a long rim that is designed to protect your device when the smartphone is lying flat.
The Obliq Flex Pro Case offers access to all the ports on the device and has a good grip thanks to its textured design. It’s just a single layer of polyurethane but sometimes you don’t need more than that.
Also, make sure you place a ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass on your smartphone’s screen along with any of these cases to provide an extra protection against scratches and cracks on the device’s display. You can also use the Galaxy Note 4 ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass without cases and the screen protector will not change the feel and touch of the Note 4’s screen. Furthermore, ZAGG will replace it forever (or for as long as you own the Samsung Galaxy Note 4) if it breaks or becomes worn-out.
Even though protection isn’t the only reason you buy a cover or case for your smartphone, we tried to combine looks and protection in our list of 10 best Samsung Galaxy Note cases. The case you choose is entirely up to you as everyone’s needs are different. But when making a choice, consider how you will end up using the device.
For example, if you run a lot and exercise regularly you might want to choose a sturdier case for your smartphone. For everyday use, however, a cover that is a little more on the light side should be enough. These were our personal favorites that we picked from numerous cases currently available on the market for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 case.
