I popped the built-in screen protector off (very easily) and installed a Skinomi wet install screen protector. I have seen others say the Whitestone works well with the Unicorn beetle, but I cannot confirm and really don't feel the need to pay $50 for a glass screen protector because I am very gentle on my devices, more-so worried about scratches so the Skinomi works great. I still own the Black Samsung Rugged protective cover (bought off ebay and couldn't return) and my only gripes are the case isn't very grippy and wireless charging is very spotty since the back if pretty thick, also those now disappeared reviews of the phone breaking. The Beetle is much better with grip and wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gaeilge:
Totally understand your point.

Apologies for going off topic but how's S-Pen working on Skinomi? I wanted to avoid any wet installation because S-Pen experience was never the same. Also tried few cheap tempered glasses and all of them were total waste, therefore I've decided to go crazy and buy Whitestone - currently I'm happy.

I'm super gentle with my phone too, but I've read too many bad things about new gorilla and accidental scratches to leave 8th unprotected. Phone is to be used and the only thing I wish to protect it from is shuttering it completely. I won't avoid any micro scratches anyway so no point in keeping it in the air bubble.

I believe we'll know much more about cases after few months, when people start to share unfortunate real bad-luck experiences with their phones (which, of course, I do not wish to anyone).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BigMosley:
No issues with the Black-tip in the S-Pen. I'm sure if your press hard enough you might leave some indentation but mine currently looks flawless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] SayWhat10:
I like it. Slim, simple, and sweet.

I might get the black/red, only 8 bucks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
i have left a few marks if you press hard but after a few hours they are gone and it recovers. I will continue to use wet protectors until somebody gets glass right
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ShrekOpher:
Best case I have ever owned and one most have not heard of.

https://www.ipitaka.com/collections/magcase-for-note8

I also got the wireless car chargers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Shreyu:
Using this case.. The Poetic Guardian.. Looks like the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. Just not sure how rugged it is, and whether it would withstand a horrible fall on the floor.. What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] mickey878:
I just ordered the rhinosheild crashguard. I dont need the bulk of a case and really want to see the back of my phone. Any one used the crash guard? Please do report if it really does protect your phone if dropped atleast from pocket height.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mr.Ash.Man:
Poetic are great cases, I had there 'Affinity' series for my S7edge and Note 5.

Gf has my S7edge & used to have my Note 5, they both survived with this case on. (She drops her phone daily...no joke)

I was considering the same case you have but was put off a little by the looks as it looked bulky but in your pics it looks ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Shreyu:
Thanks for your feedback.. Yes, for the price, it's a great case.. I bought this for 2 reasons: the clear back showcases the color of my phone, and the 2 piece case means rugged protection and built-in a screen protector.. Just want to ensure it does offer rugged protection (hopefully as much as the UAG plasma does)

Anyone using Spigen Crystal Hybrid Glitter Case? Whitestone friendly too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] browniegirl:
All Spigen cases are Whitestone friendly IF you get it perfectly on the screen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] cindylee60:
Here are my two...the spigen tough armor is the daily driver, with the skinomi wet applied screen protector (v2) i can toss my device in my purse or laptop bag, onto my desk, whatever, without worrying about it. The paua shell case is from Carved.com just because i love thier cases. It's slimmer and lighter than the spigen and i use it when i want a change. The skinomi sheild wors well with it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] thiagodm:
I need some advice.

I'm currently using Spigen Armor extra, but it is not giving me confidence of a corner drop. I'm looking for something more protective(bigger corner lips), but still low profile.

Would Tech21 Tactical or UAG Plasma a better upgrade?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
I'm using a Tech21 EVO Wallet and a Tech21 EVO Check atm. Both are very protective in my opinion. There're several impressive drop tests on youtube.

I've owned two Plasmas, too and well protecting the display with tempered glass is a problem with the UAG Plasma cases. Most protectors are not working. If you don't want to use a TGP the cases are good for sure.

With the Tech21 cases, most protectors should work.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] thiagodm:
Does tech21 Evos and tactical have the same level of protection?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
I think so, looks like being equal to the Check. But well, check Tech21.com for details.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jal3223:
Is it possible to remove it a certain way without breaking the case? I really want this case, but I have heard this a good bit. I remove the case a lot to use the Dex.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] moralesd66:
I've been using my White Presidio for a few months now. Remove it a few times a week. It's a non issue with the White one. Can't speak for the other colors. No separation, no Scratches, no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] browniegirl:
I had horrible separation with mine within a week. The black grip separated at the bottom right for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jal3223:
Do you take it off from the bottom or the top?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Does the tech21 evo check have a tacky sticky frame feel to it?

I'm after a case that has a slight tacky sticky feel to the frame when held. Similar to the old Tech21 mesh cases .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] moralesd66:
I've done both but top usually. Don't want to stress the obvious weak point at the spen slot. All fused cases can have this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] hinnn:
I just want to find one case which can protect s-pen area as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
I sound like a tech21 salesman but tech has best case for drop protection. Best screen protector for drops. Temper glass beats it in slightly better scratch resistance. But drop protection way more important in my opinion especially for 1k phone!

I made another thread sorry if I sound like a broken record. But my gf has Note 8 with a tech21 case/protector and I. We also have samsung care. So where able to be careless with our phone. She's droped her's 6Xs and me 3Xs on hard surface. From distance of 6ft me and 5ft her. From ear length and pocket. Not a scratch or crack.

The case is sleek in my opinion and can barely tell it has a screen protector on it. The only thing I do not like about tech21 case is the buttons kinda stiff in my opinion. But you eventually get use to it.

Only screen protector and case I've seen with these results. One more thing it comes off with ease. I have 4 different versions of tech 21s cases and no damage done. Buy off ebay way cheaper.

[youtube]bDrJTbBP3lM[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
So the question still goes begging. Which Tech21 case has a slight tacky stick feel to the edges similar to the Mesh series on the S7?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Sorry I kinda ran past your question. I never had s7 or mesg series case. But like said have 4 different versions. So if you could go in detail for me a lil more. Maybe I could try answer that for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Well basically the Mesh series I had for my S7 felt a little tacky in regards to being sticky sort of feeling around the frame edges of the case. This was also the case ( excuse the pun ) with the Mesh series Tech21 for the S4 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Hmm umm most the cases have like a silicone/rubber feel to them. Hard rubber buttons overlap. Based on that I would say they have a sticky sort of feeling around edges. Especially if you got sweat or something on your hand liquid. Maybe someone who has had same as him in the past could answer better then me?

I got my cases each for $15 shipped on ebay used. Normally $40-50 new each. For something like your asking id say roll dice on tech21 evo non wallet version. Seems like closes to what your describing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
I don't think that EVO Check and EVO Wallet are feeling tacky, but grip is good in my opinion. There's no danger dropping it because of loosing grip.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] glserr:
I have the same one, its great, UAG always delivers. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Are the edges of the Tech21 soft or hard plastic. With hard plastic I don't mean rock hard. I primarily use a leather wallet case but also would like to get a case that the edges feel soft , soft as in it's thick and squishy ;)

The Tech21 Mesh series was nice. But no longer made.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Nick216ohio:
Edges have a soft silicone/rubber feel to them. The power, bixby, volume buttons. They have hard plastic overlapping them. Everything at the bottom is open port. I wouldn't say squishy a lot. Wallet case has same feel just with wallet of course.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I've been doing some more research in respect of the Soft tacky sticky sides of the Mesh series and I found out via some help from another respected forum member that the Mesh series by Tech21 used to employ D3O technology which current models no longer posses.

www.d3o.com

I'm thinking that was the reason the plastic rubber felt the way it did on the Mesh series Tech21 cases of the past.

I searched and searched, and finally found one manufacturer that makes a case with D3O plastics. A relatively unheard of company stateside- Gear4 makes them and I have ordered a Piccadilly case. Will update when I get it. Since I'm not sure if the D3O is the reason for the feel of the case in ones hands that I so much like ( slightly sticky squigee sort of feeling) I was fortunate enough to order a used one for 10$.

Supcase Unicorn Beetle

I settled on Supcase Unicorn Beetle case. Use the same for my Tab S3, feels awesome to hold and grip.

This offers the best protection against drops, u can pop out the plastic film and add a tempered glass cover, or a film (Spigen is the best i used)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I found the Spigen clear film wet applied screen paper orange peel very aggressive. It's currently on the wife's Note 8. But yes, good fitment.

Ref, unicorn beetle, is the case hard or soft plastic ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] snakez23:
Orange peel? I didn't experience any, perhaps the wet fluids weren't squeezed out completely.

Now I use a tempered glass from Supcase, i am ok wid a lil sensitivity lost.

The case is a hard 1, good impact resistance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I've applied plenty of wet applied screen films. The texture of the Spigen wet applied is not as smooth looking as the the others I've used. There isn't any bubbles present.

I bought the orange box two pack of Spigen clear protectors when they first came out via Amazon. Perhaps they changed their suppliers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] snakez23:
Oh seems i have the same film. Thats the reason i took it off. I dont need a film that reduces the resolution of the screen!

Hey I'm looking for a case (folding case where you can put several cards)

without magnet,

but that still protect the bottom and upper part of the phone.

Like this one https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Leat...074TQ61VR/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 but with protection upper and bottom part.

Any suggestions?

Thx people
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Either the one you posted or the Tech21 Evo wallet for Max protection. It uses a snap clip to close case wallet. However, it's not very comfortable to hold for long duration as the edges of the front cover are sharp. If you can find one for $19 on eBay they try it. I've got two. Plus I have the iPluse tan leather wallet but it's magnetic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsabrakar:
I got one of these, it's a bumper, but it's gorgeous. Back is not covered but I put a sticker with kevlar pattern on it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] pappschlumpf:
It's a Luphie, right? They're building great bumpers for year now. But what i don't understand is that they don't build these with lips on top front and back / bottom front and back. It's the same design like the bumper for the Mi Mix i've used last year. Basically there's zero drop protection for the front and back of our device. The strong aluminium they use with a better drop protection design would be great.

I've decided to buy a Rhinoshield bumper this time, paired with a dbrand dragon skin. Received it today and well it looks great, feels good and there're strong lips on top and bottom.

I am done with otterbox , way too expensive , and the note 7 , and note 5 cases had a poor fit.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BigMosley:
Just an FYI, the new OtterBox Defenders are "screen less" where there is no screen protector. I love this because I always pop the dang thing out and by doing so sometimes they don't fit in the case snug anymore. I agree they are expensive but so is phone insurance so I'll gladly pay $60 for a case incase I drop the phone vs hundreds on insurance.

60 bucks is high when I am able to get others, that have worked just as good as otterbox for 20-30. Glad to know they leave off that screen saver now , maybe I should give them another shot. As for insurance , my last 2 phones I have gone without , this time I will try Samsung's 12 bucks a month plan , deductible of only 99 dollars. Stopped using insurance after seeing the crap refurbed phones they were sending out to my friends who finally had an accident. That was ATT and Verizon insurance by the way.

My ringke fusion in smoke black has arrived ! Compared it to my Note 5 and the size looks pretty promising !

The note 5 is only a tiny bit wider as it pretty much fits inside the case

Compared with my s7edge the s7edge rattles inside the case

So looks to be a fair bit wider than the s7e and slightly less wider than the Note 5

£8.99 from Amazon

I'm with Verizon and for my last several phones I've used Verizon's shell holster combo. It's not sexy but it works well for me because I prefer to keep my phone on my belt. I'm not seeing one shown for the Note 8 on their site. I hope they'll get one out by the time the Note 8 is released, but if not, I'll have to go elsewhere. I don't really like any of the cases Verizon is offering. I'll especially be looking for reviews of cases with kickstands because I use that feature a lot. For example, the Spigen looks really nice, but the kickstand appears to only work in landscape mode.
