I currently have 3 cases.

  • Galaxy Note 4 Case, Spigen® [Perfect-Fit] Galaxy Note 4 Case Slim NEW [Fit Series] [Thin Fit] [Smooth Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case - I ordered this one before I got my Note, just to ensure I had something to put on it. It's very minimal and therefore looks good as it doesn't detract from the design. I actually had my first drop from the couch to the tile floor and, fortunately, there was no damage!
  • Galaxy Note 4 Case, i-Blason Unity Series 2 Layer [Ultra Slim] Armored Hybrid Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 4 [SM-N910S / SM-N910C] with Inner Soft Case - This was the 2nd case I purchased. I thought I was going to be "stuck" with a white Note 4 and this was the nicest case I found at the time that would complement the color of the device. First time I've bought one from i-Blason. The black rubber showing through at the edges provides a nice contrast. I was not entirely happy with the cutouts along the bottom, in particular. The case doesn't seem to follow the contours of the phone very well. Otherwise, seems like a fine case that would provide a good level of protection.
  • Galaxy Note 4 Case, Spigen® [Dual Layer] Galaxy Note 4 Case Protective NEW [Slim Armor] [Metal Slate] Dual Layer Protective Case - This is the case i'm using now. I was able to switch to a black Note and decided to give this a try. I've been a fan of Spigen from previous devices (Galaxy S3 and S4). The case looks great on the Note! Very complementary! Yes, as you may have read, it is smooth and not "grippy". I haven't had any issues with it slipping out of my hands, though. The cutouts are just fine on my AT&T model and look much better than those on the i-Blason case. I can't comment on possible scratching at this time, but I'm not one to regularly remove the case. I also can't comment on drop protection. I read the instance of having an issue but that could certainly be an anomaly. It seems as if it would provide very good protection. Nice lips to protect the screen. Rubber bumpers in the corners, etc. I wasn't sure about the kickstand at first but it clicks / locks right into place and does not open unless you want it to open. I expect I'll be rocking this case for the long haul.
    EDIT: Yes, it is more difficult using the heart rate sensor, but it is possible.

I had one on my N5, and not only did it fly off if dropped, but the edge on the top and bottom are sharp enough to cut you. Very uncomfortable.

A Coworker just got Spigen's "Tough Armor" case for his iPhone 6, and not only is it gorgeous, but it's not very bulky at all! Which makes me think Spigen's "Slim Armor" case may be perfect.

I had a Platinum brand case, with a kickstand just like that, for my iPhone 5, and it was a must have for watching videos, and was barely noticeable. I think this Spigen Slim Armor case is gonna be the one I'll try first.

I own the Note 3, and have never had an issue with the size of the screen. Even with my Spigen Slim Armor case, it fits comfortably in my hand, and goes into my pocket on either my work slacks or jeans quite easily. I don't often use the stylus, but it does come in handy for precision clicking on some websites. I'm trying to find more uses for it, but I'm just so used to tapping on the screen for everything. The ONLY thing I do not like about the Note 4 is the fact that they moved the speaker to the back of the device, unlike the Note 3 which was on the bottom. This means that if I thoughtlessly throw the phone on the bed screen-up, it muffles the ringtone, sometimes causing me to miss the shorter notification sounds.

I see that you mention the camera. I can honestly say that the note 4 has the best camera and default camera app I've ever used. It also works well with some of the remote bluetooth camera triggers, should you have a use for one. The only problem I have ever heard of with the camera, is that for a few people, not including myself, have an issue with the auto-focus getting stuck. Often, tapping on the back of the phone with the camera enabled unsticks it. I do not know if this is a software or hardware issue, and I only personally know if it occurring with one device. I wouldn't let this one issue stop you from getting the note 4. I just wanted to let you know that it has occured to at least a few people out there. No device is perfect.

The Note 4, of course, includes both a removable back, battery, and mSD slot.

It is absolutely great for reading documents. I use it all the time for this purpose, often downloading PDFs and reading eBooks. I've done a bit of document and spreadsheet editing on the device, which works decently, espcially with the stylus, but I do that sort of thing more often on either my PC or Win8.1 tablet.

If you decide to go with the Note 4, I cannot recommend these two products enough:

Spigen Slim Armor: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MAWQKIW

ZAGG Invisible Shield: http://smile.amazon.com/ZAGG-InvisibleShield-Original-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00ORM8FZO

I got a better price than Amazon offers on the ZAGG unit, because a local RadioShack store that was closing had a case of them for $6 each, but it's still not a bad price for a premium screen protector.


EDIT: Wow. I didn't realize how much my post went on and on. I hope you find the information and my opinion of the product useful.

In my opinion, the cases that provide the best compromise between protection and minimal bulk are:

Spigen Slim Armor

Verus Thor

Otterbox Commuter


UAG

These cases are pretty slim, but I don't know how much shock/drop protection they offer compared to the ones listed above:

Spigen Neo Hybrid

Verus Iron Shield This one is harder to find. Hands down the most beautiful case in the list. The TPU band is aluminum, and it gives it a really solid feel. The rubber case is well designed and has a very nice look to it. I am using one right now, but I think I might go back to my Otterbox or Slim Armor. If someone would like it, PM me maybe we can work out a deal.

I've used the Commuter series on all of my previous Galaxy devices, and they have always provided excellent drop protection. I've never suffered a cracked screen after a drop in 3 different devices using a Commuter. There have been more than one drop where I couldn't believe there was no damage to the phone.

The Slim Armor is very similar to the Commuters, the build quality isn't as "nice" imo, but for the price it is a really good option. I've never tried the UAG or the Thor. Not sure I like the look of the UAG, but I may try it out anyway just for review purposes. I do plan to pick up a Thor in the next couple of weeks if I move the Iron Shield along to someone else.

I go back and forth on the screen protectors. I've never had an issue with scratches on these screens, and this is my 4th galaxy device since 2010. I had a tempered glass on my S4, cracked them twice with just normal daily use, stopped using anything after removing the 2nd one. Put a screen protector on it for the last two months I used it. Gouged the screen protector dropping it out of a treestand once, but the screen was not damaged at all. I have been going without a screen protector on my Note 4 so far.
