- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2016I don't like screen protectors. One of the reasons modern smartphones are so pricey is the very fancy glass on them. It's designed to be super strong, protective, and minimize smears, scratches, and dust. The Note 5 has among the greatest screens & glass out there. Why would I add another layer, especially when that alone won't protect it from the most common phone mishap - the drop onto a hard surface. A case like this does just that, and additionally, with the very slight raised edge, also protects against the scratches that often occur when the phone is placed face down.
This particular case is strong, light, well-fitting, attractive, and has a very low profile. But the main reason I chose this case is that it is easy to remove. I own a Samsung Gear VR, and it will not allow connection to the phone if there is a case attached. This case makes that easy, but it in no way feels as though it could come off accidentally.

Thank you for reading my review:
Again Please give this review a thumbs up. It is real. I do answer questions if in comments. I've been on Amazon as a customer for over twenty years, and now a top 500 reviewer. I don't get compensated for my reviews. (Not that I wouldn't like to be.) I pay for Amazon Prime so I get any of the perks that come with my Prime membership.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2015because it could only fit one card comfortably and two cards tightly. I did notice that the case was comfortable to use though. I needed to use a case until the rest of my cases arrived from Amazon, and this case was much more comfortable then the Ionic Bella and Verus Damda Slide so I used this Lific case in the meantime. At this point I gave up on a case that would hold bank cards and was looking forward to a smaller sleeker case. Every time I received a new case in the mail from Amazon I expected that I would like the new case better than the Lific - every time I was surprised that I didn't. After trying all of the cases, I ultimately settled on staying with the Lific case and that is the one I am using going forward. If I change to a new case I will update this review. What I ended up really liking about the Lific case was that it was not slippery and the Note 5 was actually easier to hold with the case on. The sides of the back of the Lific case are heavily rounded to make grip much easier. While the from of the Lific case is wider than the Note 5, the back of the case is actually narrower than the phone because of the curved edges and the depth of the case. I found out that the most important part of the case for grip purposes are the back edges. When I grip the Lific case I have a better grip than every other case I tried and even better than the Note 5 without a case. I initially wanted a case that felt like the Lific case but that was thinner; I think what I figured out though is that the reason the Lific case is so comfortable is because it is thicker and therefore the back sides of the case can curve so much.
Here are my reviews for the other cases that I tried. Some of them came close to the Lific, but none of them matched it across the board. There were a few distinct issues that torpedoed some of the cases and I really wish that other reviewers had noted these before I tried these all out. Hopefully my review will help others at least know what they are getting.
I next tried two "slim" cases from Ringke: (Galaxy Note 5 Case, Ringke SLIM ***Essential Ultra Thin***[FREE Bonus HD Screen Protector Included][Black] Perfect Fit & Ultra Slim Curved Edge Protection, Scratch-Resistant Dual Coating Slim Hard Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 5) and (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010R8CMAA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00). These are basically the same case but one is black and the other is clear. The clear case looked cheap to me but it had a much better grip than the black case. I really liked the look of the black case, but it was way too slippery and I could not get a real grip. Both of the case also had the following problems that I could not get past: there is a notch in all of the corners that gets stuck on your clothes when you put the phone in your pocket; there are only cutouts for the side buttons so it is harder and less natural to press them; and the case is so slim that it doesn't cover the screen protector when you place the phone face down. I also did not feel that these cases would actually provide much protection in the case of a fall. I realized from these cases that slim was not the be-all end-all.
I then tried the Verus High Pro Shield (Galaxy Note 5 Case, Verus [High Pro Shield][Steel Silver] - [Drop Protection][Heavy Duty][Minimalistic][Slim Fit] - For Samsung Note 5 N920 Devices) and the Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon Case (Galaxy Note 5 Case, Spigen [Metallized Buttons] Neo Hybrid Carbon Case for Galaxy Note 5 - Metal Slate (SGP11690)). These two cases were very similar; they were both a case that you fit the phone to and then a piece of trim that you forced onto the outside of the case to keep it in place. Both of these cases were very attractive and I wanted them to work. The contrasting trim was nice and the button covers were a nice touch. Unfortunately, both of these cases were too slippery and I could not get a good grip. I was also concerned that the hard plastic side trim would crack if I dropped the phone. If I had to choose from these two cases I would probably choose the Spigen Carbon case since the button were nicer.
I then tried the Spigen Rugged Capsule (Galaxy Note 5 Case, Spigen® [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] Ultimate protection and rugged design with matte finish for Galaxy Note 5 (2015) - Black (SGP11683)). I really liked this case. The only problem was that the case was too slippery. If I was going to use a minimal case, this would be it. If I find a way to add grip to the back edge of the case I might still consider this one in the future as an alternative. I would say that this was my second favorite case.
I then tried the Spigen Slim Armor (Galaxy Note 5 Case, Spigen [AIR CUSHION] Slim Armor Case for Galaxy Note 5 - Metal Slate (SGP11710)). I as very excited for this case and I thought that this would be the one ... and it almost was. The case had a similar texture to the Lific case; while it was not as grippy as the Lific case, it was not too slippery that I felt like it could fly out of my hand at any moment. Most importantly, the case had rounded back sides that made it very comfortable in my hand (though not as comfortable as the Lific case). The real problem with this case was the side buttons which are completely flush with the case without any way of feeling the buttons without looking at them. This meant that I could not press a button without looking at the button first to see where it was. This was not as much of a problem on the right side since there is just a single button for the power, but it was a real problem on the left side for the volume buttons. Also, the kickstand on the back seemed cheap and I expect that it would break sooner rather than later.
Finally I tried the Otterbox Symmetry (OtterBox Symmetry Cell Phone Case for Samsung Galaxy Note5 - Retail Packaging - Black -). This was the most expensive case that I bought at $50. The case is molded hard plastic and just feels cheap. I guess it is safe enough, though I wonder whether the hard plastic would absorb as much impact as the other soft plastic cases. The case is a bit slippery and feels big in my hand. I don't have really any major bad things to say about this case except that it just felt cheap; I also don't really have any major good things to say about the case either. I guess this case seemed fine, would do an acceptable job of protecting your phone, and is not uncomfortable.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2016Love this case!! I have always been a huge fan of Spigen and have used their cases on my S3, Note 3 and Note Edge and now my Note 5. This case feels amazing in your hand and gives the large Note 5 a nice grip. The way the case is molded with the carbon fiber look is a nice touch on the back of this case! The ports are all cut out perfect to access the charging port, mics, and most importantly the S Pen. Another nice feature of the case is the feel of the buttons. When you click the volume buttons and the power button they have a nice click feel. Lastly the best feature of this case is it is super thin and still keeps the phones slender feel and look but also has enough thickness that it keeps the camera off the table as well as the screen. I have only dropped it once but it was on carpet from 4 to 5 feet off the ground and no issues but I am not sure how it would fare if it was dropped on tile or concrete since it is not all that thick. Hopefully I will not have to find out! Thanks for the great case Spigen!!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2017Best case I have ever owned! The tight fit meant it actually helped protect my phone a little when I dropped it in a pond. I panicked and turned the phone off and took the case off to dry the phone and was surprised to see no moisture between the case and the phone. Only place there was water was where the S Pen goes. After drying my phone and turning my phone on it still worked!
I am a clumsy person who has broken or lost every phone I have ever owned (every year this happens) and I only get new phones to replace ones I have broken or lost, not because I want to upgrade.
This case and a tempered glass screen protector meant it has protected my phone against countless drops and survived longer than any other smartphone I have ever owned. It also looks great and even after a year of use it still looks almost new and "scuff marks" just buff out.
Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars sturdy and stylish
looks good and stylish...sturdy too...few falls n no issues for the phone....make sure you use a good tempered glass screen protector along with this....then there will be no issues whatsoever....smooth finish....slides in and out of jeans pockets easily....grip wise mayb not "sticking" to your fingers (the very 'grippy' ones are hard to use with a jeans pocket anyways) but good enough if you are a little careful....it is a little costly indeed....but when you get this kind of quality and looks i guess its worth it....definitely a long term cover......this is about three months into using the cover.....hope to update after a while too....
- Is It Grassfed?Reviewed in Canada on September 19, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars A very smart case! Lightweight, cool, affordable, offers identical look to much bulkier/heavier cases.
Lasts forever! I've had this guy 6 months now and it's still going strong. I'll keep it for the duration of the phone, or even buy another. Piece of cake to take off and put on, doesn't not break, crack or chip. No discoloration, no real added weight to the phone.
What a concept! A case that is actually just a rubber skin... but offered with actual raised texture and elements to make it look to the naked eye like a multi-piece case. Nice job Spigen, this is a very smart and well designed case!
