The decision about what type of case to buy is of course a matter of personal choice. Whereas I prefer rugged protection, style and light weight catch my fairer spouse's eye. One of the things she likes most is a case complete with a cut-out design for the touch screen, tha allows you to keep the same feel as using the Samsung Galaxy S4 (S IV) without a case. It certainly must have durable protection and a clean, modern design. Cases come in all shapes, sizes, materials, colors and patterns. Some manufacturers even allow you to design your own case for the ultimate in personality - your own!
I'm a big fan of the Cimo Gloss Back Flexible TPU Cover case. It is a modern plastic and silicone hybrid. It's shock absorbent, doesn't dent and will not be ripped or gouged. This case provides the same soft grip and flexibility of silicone with the protection of a harder case like the Otterbox Defender.
This perfectly tailored design means your Galaxy S4's camera, flash, speakers, volume controls, and ports all remain uncovered and unhindered.
More than aesthetics, TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is one of the industry's breakthrough materials expertly engineered to give you superior resistance to oil and grease as well as fingerprints and smudges. The material has an excellent abrasion resistance, has high strength and retains its elasticity in the hottest heat of the Summer or the coldest Winter day. Although you may prefer other materials such as hard-impact plastic or traditional materials like leather, TPU provides an economical alternative while retaining accessibility to your Galaxy S4's camera, flash, speakers, volume controls, and ports.
