I tried out all the cases I could today at Best Buy with my S4 and S Charging battery cover, and NONE of them would work - they kind of started to go on, then would slide off on the long sides of the phone.... I was thinking about a Ghost Armor cover or cutting my own protective cover for it, debating on whether I will do it out of XPEL Invisible Paint Protection film (the stuff you use to protect the paint on cars) or 3M 1080 Carbon Fiber vinyl since there really isn't any other option, but I'm still not sure I want to do either one of those film options, here's why:

The clear bra paint protection film will make it stick in my pocket and add a ton of lint build up to the trimmed edges all the way around the battery cover, and the carbon fiber film (I have it in white and black currently) will change the texture of the back cover, something I preferred in the past but have become accustomed to since I bought my S4 and have used it without a case since launch day!

Let's keep this conversation going but not just with CASES, but film or other forms of protection in mind as well!

So far it appears the the Diztronic TPU case fits.
I'll be getting mine today (the charge that is) so will try with the Neo Hybrid SGP case and ill post some pics
