what is the difference between this case and the Slim Armor S case? Only thing I see different is the S case might be more of a matte finish.

I don't know for sure, but from what I have read, the slim armor S is just a newer model with revised padding inside the case.

It is pretty slim, not at all like the Armor series from Otter Box for the iPhone. As far as screen protection, it is just a thin clear screen protector, again, not like the waterproof Armor case.

I dont have first hand expierence with the slim armor. The Neo-hybrid is very slim and unobtrusive relatively speaking.

Hybrid is thicker and makes my Note 3 look and feel bigger. I honestly like the feel of the Slim, but the protection of the Hybrid. It's a toss-up.

We have had both, and the commuter as well. The armor case is bigger and bulky. We had it a week and ended up returning it because the clasp on the outside snapped in half, my son took the phone out frequently. It did prove to be water proof. The defender is smaller and has the plastic face plate. I wanted a little more protection than it offered and ended up taking off the faceplate and replacing it with a tempered glass protector. The only difference I see between the defender and the commuter is the faceplate and the rubber shield is opposite (one on the outside and one on the inside). Not sure I'd buy the armor again.

I do too. That was the main reason I bought this case. The case is not clear but gives the blue more of a matte look. I have had it for several months and it still works great. I would definitely still recommend it. Fits well, has protected it well and while the color is muted through the case a bit, I like that too. Hope it helps with your decision.

Well the cheap plastic one is less likely. The hard case one in the picture is smooth. It will slip if you hold on lightly. I bought some hard covers for my wife's s5. They are awesome. The case for that comes off with little difficulty. It fits like a glove. My recommendation is for you to purchase a Spigen case that is not slim, like this one. Get the one that truly protects the phone. I just saw some for Spigen in Amazon. You really have to look and look. This phone is nice. I love that it is hard to scratch. I am being honest and I hope I answer your question. Laus Deo.

It's not matte, it's glossy. Mine is still holding up well, & "getting along" with my diztronic case, meaning the case isn't peeling up the corners of the protector.

I too cannot find a 'slim armor' S3 case from Spiegen, however please contact the dealer, through Amazon, and see if they have anything comparable. Hope that helps.

Gloss Clear vs Matte Black. Are both material identical in stiffness and thus protection? Or is one softer? And is one grippier than the other? Does clear look OK with the black phone (subjective)? Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I make a suggestion I've bought many case like too many and the best case that's the most comfortable but doesn't protect the screen is the slim armor s by spigen it's a nice case and fits perfect and feels nice.

The one I bought was "SOFT" and "TACKY", so obviously gives a good grip on the phone; and due to it's transparency the name on the back is visible. Get a soft and tacky one similar to what I have. The S-line case is probably not close to what I bought in the above two aspects.

I believe its just the s is the slim version. Other than that the specs are all the same.

The edges are pretty slim the back of the case seems a little bit thicker, I used to use the Otterbox Commuter and this Armor case is way more thinner, I have the transparent one and it looks awesome on my S5, now I cant say is drop proof, I havent drop it yet...so I dont know how this case perform.

It's not very protective, bc it's a thin hard case and it doesn't have a glossy feel to it, so I guess it's matte type, it's just a hard case.

I havent seen the "commuter" case but the Spigen slim armor case is a tight fight. I would check the dimensions of the two before purchasing.

Hello, I will do my best to answer your question! The biggest difference between the Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor is in style rather than protection. Both provide ample coverage and protection, but the Neo Hybrid is slightly slimmer. The Neo Hybrid is a full case with an anti-shock absorbent TPU body and a slender Polycarbonate frame. The Slim Armor is a full case with an anti-shock absorbent TPU body, and a Polycarbonate hard case shell for additional protection. Although both provide ample protection, the Slim Armor may be a better choice for those who appreciate the hard case shell. I hope that was helpful! Hello, I will do my best to answer your question!
