pulled 30 cases on off the Galaxy S6 over the course of a few weeks tested them so that you can find the one that suits you best, whether you need something rugged, waterproof, inexpensive, or barely there. $35 The stout feature here is the case’s microbial protection, which keeps away germs bacteria—a bonus for when you bring your phone into the bathroom with you, then realize how gross that actually is. $25 The frame itself is smooth to the touch it was easy enough to wiggle the Galaxy S6 in out. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t even really want a case at all, this is the closest you’re going to get. $20 I say: Holy crap, is this ever a crazy large rugged case. It consists of three pieces: a rubber base that cradles the Galaxy S6, a clear plastic face that snaps on to the base, a holster with a clip to attach the case to a belt or strap. The base features rubbery flexible portions with diamonds of harder plastic for reinforcement. At the bottom, there are tabs that you can pull out to get to the headphone power ports. Overall, this case is completely rugged a complete overkill unless you’re on an underwater construction site—or Bourne’s stunt double. $50 $25 The case itself is made from polycarbonate polymer. Incipio also packs this case with its own screen protector. $35 Once the phone is in the two-layer case, it snaps easily into place in the holster. Removing it is another story, however, as I had to struggle a bit to dislodge it each time. There are also port covers that protect the headphone power jacks from water damage. The slipcover also features a built-in screen protector. $60 Overall this case is solid, like the neighbor who not only lets you borrow their tools but also volunteers to help you with the repairs. $45 Fortunately, the kickst worked well for watching videos, but that’s about all it’s good for. $35 Available in four colors, the DualTek is a single, slim piece with rubber reinforced edges on both the interior exterior of the case for drop protection. It also features patterned rubber along the sides of the frame to make it easier to hold onto. The DualTek fit really nicely on the Galaxy S6 overall, it was enjoyable to use had no real drawbacks. $35 The Grip is available in seven two-tone colors, so there’s bound to be one you can relate to. It’s an attractive enough case has been certified to meet or exceed military-grade drop test stards. ile we didn’t risk drop testing the Galaxy S6 in the case, it does seem to have the right combination of sturdiness flexibility. $35 $40 The case itself fits the phone well. It’s sturdy protective, flexible secure, though the checkered pattern on the inside of the case shows through on the back of the phone is a bit visually distracting. The buttons covers could have used just a wee bit more give, too. $40 $35 Having a wallet attached to a phone case was convenient while I was out about during the day, but a bit less so when I was just kicking around at home. And there’s no ignoring the fact that a wallet phone make for an attractive package to potential pickpockets. $60 At least nothing happening to the phone. The DropArmor features smooth, hard molded plastic on the back, there are cutouts over the headphone power ports that fold open for access. It feels fairly slim in h, looks lightly rugged, but it is damn hard to get on off so it’s maybe not the best choice for those who like to switch cases frequently. $25 The Spigen Galaxy S6 Case llet S is pretty, but it’s not working up to its potential. $30 $40 $35 The front flap can be folded all the way back to reveal a small bit of velcro, which in turn reveals a card slot can hold four cards. There’s also a built-in slot in the interior of the case for an MicroSD card. The volume buttons easy to access with the case closed. My only gripe is that the front flap didn’t always l flush when I flipped it into place, I constantly had to adjust it. $40 The case is overall very slender slim, though it’s actually slightly bigger than the phone’s leather housing, which makes it appear as though the phone were bulging out at the sides. $35 $35 The ports are easy to access, at least, although it takes a solid push to connect headphones. so, it was not the easiest case to remove. $33 $10 $11 $15 The Grip Cy is available in two color combinations features a frosted feel on the back. The frame is made of perforated mesh grippy material overall, the case is nice slim. ile all the ports were easy to access, the volume power button covers were a bit stiff difficult to press. It was, however, very easy to remove tje case due to its dimpled edges. It certainly looks great, especially its brushed metal tones, which are pretty classy chic. However, it was difficult to wiggle the case on the Galaxy S6 nearly impossible to take it off. I also had an issue with the fit; it was difficult to tug the case on tight enough I had problems using the volume buttons with the case on. It’s too bad, too, because the case is awfully pretty. $14 $15 The Core looks nice on the Galaxy S6 feels good in h. There are no issues with regards to accessing any of the ports, either, though the chassis did attract a lot of dust detritus, so you’ll need to wipe it down before snapping it onto your hset. Overall, this is one of the best cases I tested, I would drop my own money on this without any regrets. $30
