Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have the Samsung with S-Pen version of this protective case and I've provided pictures for comparison. Overall, they are both nice, Samsung may have the edge. I'll try to explain. But first, let me say that for those that have reported the Samsung version as a dust, skin flake magnet - they are correct...but it goes away after several days of use. It may be skin oils rubbing onto the case helps deflect the attraction to dust - either way, I don't have a problem with it anymore. In the pictures you will see the front and back of the case with S-Pen attached. The two images is the Spigen and the last two images is the Samsung. Here are some key points: 1) Samsung comes with an S-Pen, which can be anywhere from $25 - 40, so figure that into the cost of the Samsung version. Spigen does not come with the pen and is ONLY compatible with the S-Pen that comes with the Samsung case. Note - I cannot seem to find the compatible S-pen for sale by itself. 2) Samsung has a velvety, silky smooth matte'ish feel to it. The Spigen feels less luxurious, but still nice. 3) Because of the way I hold the phone and rest it on my pinky finder, the charging hole at the bottom of the case on the Samsung is a bit sharp, and the front part of that lip feels floppy, it's soft (only over the charging port because of the cutout, everywhere else is fine). The Spigen front lip cut-out is nice and firm and is comfortable on the pinky. 4) The left side of the (front facing) Samsung case is wider than the right side - this is to house the pen. Same for the Spigen. However, for the Samsung, you cannot see the pen insert (my preference) vs. the Spigen has the finger cut-out assistance. For Samsung, the left lip is a little bit higher, due to left side of the case being a little thicker. I actually like this, feels like a grip area for my thumb. Spigen is the same thickness all the way around. 5) The camera cutout on the Samsung protects the surrounding matte lens housing and overall bump. Spigen cut-out is for the entire bump. Less preferred. 6) Both seem to have the same amount of "rock" when placed on a flat surface. 7) Samsung seems to have the edge on better surface grip. I haven't tried to purposely do any drop tests but they equally seem to have the amount of protection heft. In conclusion, I will for sure keep the Samsung because I need the pen. I may keep the Spigen as a backup or maybe to do some custom case artwork or stickers on the back.
