does this case make the phone larger to hold in the hand at all? Inivitably it will add some bulk but is it excess? I am worried about one hand use

its a very slim case it adds a little weight but nothing to be concerned about can use one handed no problem.

Nope. It actually barely adds to the bulk of the phone. BTW, I am in no way related to the company. Just a happy customer :-)

compared to other cases it is negligible. I still use the phone with one hand. You cant go wrong with this case.

It is still maneagable. In fact it might be even easier for some to hold it as it adds a bit more grip compared to the glossy back of the s4. I think it only adds around 2- 2.5mm to the width
2045294
Not at all. The actual phone thickness is 0.8mm and the casing only adds another 0.2mm to the thickness. It does not actually add excess bulk but rather adds more grip to the phone. The actual phone without the casing is too slim for handling in my opinion.

It doesn't which one of the finer points to this case. It really doesn't add any bulk to the phone. I have no problem using the phone with only one hand.

The additional bulk is there but fairly minor to me. I don't think you can call it excess at all as compared to some other brands that I've seen. I like the feel of holding the phone with the case on, I have small hand yet it feels comfortably.

This case is low profile and adds very little bulk to the size of the phone. Hope this helps. Have a good weekend!

I wouldn't call it bulk. It is pretty thin but has nice ridges on both sides that make it easy to grip. I prefer it with the case as it fits my hand perfectly and I have no fear of dropping it.

Well it's definitely bigger and bulkier in the case, but it's very comfortable. In fact, I find it easier to hold IN the case than OUT. That might sound nuts, but the case almost provides something of a "handle". I've had it in the case basically from day one and it's been no trouble at all. Side buttons fit in perfectly. I definitely recommend this case.

It does bulk up the phone, but i think the protection worth it. Bear in mind, however, that the Otterbox feels "softer" in your hand because of its wraparound cover.

With case phone is about 1/2 thick compared to the 0.35 depth without the case . It really doesnt add as much bulk as I have seen with some of the iPhone cases. They do sell a feather version which I belive is even thinner, just doesnt have the silixone bumper layer.

Of course everyone's perception is different, but I do not consider it very bulky at all. It is not nearly as bulky as an otterbox if you are familiar with them. Feels good in the hand too.

It slips into a pocket easily without being slippery. I wouldn't say it adds bulk...I also liked the mini because of it's size vs bigger phones.

Most likely no, it adds bulk to the phone . If you ever owned a Otter Box, It will add about the same width.

They're not saying "one size". They're advertising the fact that you can have your phone, cash and a credit card in "one place". I like my case very much. Don't have to carry a bulky wallet! I believe I made a smart purchase.

Doubt it, it makes the phone too huge but it's really worth it. Best case you could find trust me

Hey!The case doesn't add more than 1/8" of "thickness" to each side of the phone. The phone+case still pretty lean.Hope this can help you to choose ;)

Its not bulky at all. I am a guy I keep it in my front pocket. I have drop the phone and it fine. Its worth it.

This case kit makes the galaxy 3 to 4 times bulkier. Imagine the bulk of 3 Galaxy S3s taped together into a bundle (with the weight of 2.) It should just barely "fit" into a decent size mens shirt front pocket, but I can't imagine it being workable to carry it that way.

I personally find it very easy because I've been a user of these kinds of cases for a long while. It does make it a bit bulkier when holding it, but you'll get over that pretty quickly (or at least I did).

No, not at all. I have just LOVED my case. Now, if I place my thumb over the speaker port it will pretty much cancel it out... but thats entirely up to me to do. I give this case my highest recommendation. Just be ready to add some significant weight to your phone with this case. It's VERY heavy duty. But, I've dropped it more than a few times and it didn't get so much as a mark on it. Also, the case makes your phone larger in size to be sure. My briefcase has a compartment for cell phones that with this case, my phone couldn't even hope to get into. However, that's such a small price to pay for such extreme protection and a really great, masculine look to my phone.

That is definitely a "no". I found myself having to open it with two hands. It doesn't flip open and stay open. It closes back so I would bend it completely around the back which made me feel like I really needed a case with no flip. Although I really appreciated the protection of the flip it seem to sometimes get in the way. If u like to take pictures and talk a lot, it will get in way. But still great quality.
