Noticed the black Speck went back up to $49.99 - blue still @ $5.00
I didn't get the Incase one.

I can’t grab a pic at moment. Incase feels good in hand but inconsistently peeks orange around front border. Very poor fitment. Would immediately be returning if it as more than $5 lol. Around buttons on top left orange peeks; bottom right half orange peeks. Bad. Real bad fitment despite good hand feel. Exposed Camera button also awkward. Snagged a 16 plus Apple silicone for son for $5. That made entire $35 bag worth it lol.
 
$4.50 Spigen Core Armor - the sleeper of the bunch ;) The grip is amazing; the rubber CC button works absolutely perfect o_O not a fan of the slit buttons but they are just fine. I actually think this case has better grip than the Dbrand grip or Tank cases. The back will collect dust and debris like crazy, no worry about fingerprints though.

Keeping the case thread alive with some new fresh/cheap beaters :D

That's mildly surprising. I'd assume they use shared parts for the various models, but the one on my Rugged is poor.

The slide action is fine, but almost all the force applied to trigger the shutter seems to be absorbed by some black hole, so it requires an excessive amount of pressure to take a snap. Enough so that it's not worth the effort. Perhaps my example is defective, and I should see what their support has to say.

I checked out the VZW sale, but decided that even a cheap case wasn't worth having to make the trek to a store.

And I don't know if they're deliberately being obtuse, or merely incompetent, but their site's inability to search for product by device model is absolutely puzzling, especially for such a large company that can afford to include a single additional data field in their database.

Verizons website has been terrible for as long as I can remember. Unsurprising why they have so much discount and extra stock of items, when browsing is so convoluted.

I picked up the Moft and Spigen.
 
Nice, which one do you like the best?

The Spigen Urban Fit is the easy stand out. Its just a different color Enzo like you mentioned that appears to be exclusive to Verizon. Not worth almost double the regular price, but I don't think you can do much better at $7.50.

The Moft cases will be going back if I care enough to get my $10. Nothing really wrong with them, especially not for $5, but I have a Nomad Horween case so the fake leather on these feels really cheap.

The Speck I grabbed for my wife when I eventually hand the phone down. She's been using their grip cases for over a decade. I used to be a big fan as well until they replaced the rubber grips with grooves. And they really need to a camera button instead of that huge cutout.

I won’t deny Verizon’s site is terrible, but you can at least filter by device model once you pick a category.

The Urban Fit is available direct. They’re both $70 on the Spigen website.
