I've owned quite a few OtterBox Commuter cases for my past cell phones, and they have all been through hell. I know, because I'm a clumsy bastard who keeps dropping phones. You cannot beat the protection that these cases provide. Yes, they are bulky, but they are also very secure. Personally, Defender series are bulky, but are an overkill; these are a better compromise.
If you're a clumsy bastard like me, then get this case.
If you're a crazy phone thrower like Naomi Campbell, then get this case.
If you're Andy Sandberg who likes to THROW IT ON THE GROUND, then get this case.
If they made a child-size case, I'd stick my kid in this case.

The Otterbox Commuter for the Galaxy S3 almost made me lose faith with Otterbox Products. The Iphone 5 Commuter isn't as bad as the S3 but wasn't up to par.
The new Galaxy S4 case does everything that an Otterbox should. It fits precisely, protects the phone, is easy to install, offers good grip while being easy to slide in and out of the pocket, and looks good on the phone. The rubber also doesn't attract lint like the older Otterbox cases.
Here is my Commuter rating scale from previous phones that I have owned:
Samsung Captivate-Good
Iphone 4-Excellent
Galaxy S2- Excellent
HTC One X- Fair
Galaxy S3-Poor
Iphone 5- Fair
Galaxy S4- Excellent

2 Month Review:
I've heard the Galaxy S4 starts as a pretty delicate phone. With that in mind, I wanted a case with great protection, but it had to fit nicely in my pocket. The OtterBox Commuter has a great reputation with a very sleek/elegant design, so I decided to pay the $26.50/ea to get one for my wife's phone and my own phone.
First Impressions - The case fits onto the S4 very nicely. There isn't extra space without excessively stretching the material. The battery and headphone flaps are a little tough to assemble at first, but it only took two tries to get it right. Immediately I noticed how slippery the case is. The outer shell is textured, but not enough that the phone won't slip when I have dry hands. Lightly holding the phone with my fingertips makes me nervous. Otherwise, the corners look nicely padded; the front is recessed ~3mm (plenty); the ports accept every charger or connection; and the proximity sensor works great.
Tragedy Strikes - My wife's screen cracked from a 3 foot drop onto carpet in her OtterBox. The top right corner of the glass barely cracked, but the LCD cracked too. This says just as much about the Galaxy S4 as it does about the OtterBox. To me that says the OtterBox did some work, but not enough. Any time you drop your phone it could be the end, but I've never seen a phone break after two months from a simple drop.
Final Thoughts:
I don't think you'll find a significantly better "slim" case. When it comes down to it, you pick a case that looks good and hope your phone never falls. You can do the Defender series cases for more protection, but to me that has some fatal drawbacks. Protip: just don't drop your phone!
Pros:
-Nice looking & Slim (Fits nicely in my pocket)
-All the buttons & ports work well
-Best protection from a slimline case
Cons:
-The Galaxy S4 is really delicate, this case can't do miracles
-VERY slippery in your hands
-The charging port cover is kind of annoying
Would I buy it again?
-Probably...

So far no breakage (and very few drops). Dirt and sand collect between the inner and outer shell, so you need to clean that out occasionally. The case is less slippery from wear, but still not as grippable as I'd like.
