A slim, inexpensive, effective Samsung S5 case
January 13, 2015 5:45 PM Subscribe
I just upgraded my phone to a Samsung S5. I'd like to protect it, but since it's already on the big side I'd like to get a case that balances slimness and protection. I already have a screen shield on it, so something that plays nice with that would be appreciated. Price range is between 10 and 25 dollars. Availability on Amazon a huge plus.
Best answer: i have the incipio rival on my iphone 6. i have dropped it multiple times, and it's worked great. it's a thinner case - i bought it so the phone and the case would fit in my pocket (women's pants are notoriously horrible for this - i wear jeans so it's less bad, but still.).

I also have the Slim Armor Spigen S5 Case.
I like it. It's pretty and and I think it does a decent job of protecting the phone.
If the bare phone fits in your pocket the cased phone will as well.

WireCutter endorses the Spigen Slim Armor for $17.
The one I have, the Candyshell Grip, is a bit above your price range at $34, but I like it a lot and can recommend it. Their logo is slightly unfortunate (go Greendale?) but I think the case itself is both practical and cool-looking, and the grippy rubber bits are a nice addition since I'm a klutz.

Response by poster: Thanks koroshira, I ended up going with your suggestion and it's been great so far.
