I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] nuclearrage:
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ShrekOpher:
I have this one as my daily car and I love it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
I have that one does your finger print scaner work with that case? I had to cut mine out a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ShrekOpher:
Same but I love it with that one piece cut up
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Got another case in today this one is pretty good too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] King Cole:
Single best ultra-thin case IMO is Bear Motion. I used it on my Note 7 every day for a year, now use it on my Note 8 with the Whitestone Dome. It's not super rugged; it won't protect your phone from smashes against the ground, but I dropped my Note 7 probably 8-10 times over the year and it only scuffed the corners once or twice. Highly recommend.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Looks good but I don't like not having something on the top and bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
But those big bulky cases are out. What's the point in having a slim luxurious phone like the Note 8 if you're going to put a big ass case on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] King Cole:
Yeah, that's why the corners on my 7 got scuffed. I think it's a tradeoff for having such a thin case, one I'm willing to make.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tsiglas:
I think one of the best thin cases is Nillkin frosted & the new one Nillkin air.....it cost around 8$ maximum and they are perfect with good protection for a thin case ,No fingerprint and you forget that you have a case on it....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jsalatas:
I use the Spigen Tough Armor

It gives a better grip and IMHO adds a unique style to it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] koolboyztn:
Using this case right now and love it and thing i need to mention is the Royal Blue is not really Royal Blue, it's kind more of Deep Sea Blue.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dhaugru:
Have that one as well. Doesn't it get all smudgy on back?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Can you post some pictures of your phone with this case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Proweedsmoker:
UAG- been using it since the S4- Nothing compares. Its worth the premium.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] d.cortez:
NSFFF

pics of my phone in the same case. case fits the Note 8 but not very tightly. sooooo... i applied 1/5 inch wide slices of double-sided sticky tape on the inside left/right/top/bottom of the case. strategically placed so the case doesn't move. case is thin, with matte finish and not a fingerprint magnet. pics are below, this is a keeper for me. fyi, that is not lint on the backside of the case. it's a reflection when placed under the light.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Man I have 6 cases now but all were under 10 bucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Out of all my cases this one gets the most action. It is slim and it feels like silk. Seriously the best felling case I have ever had. My bad this one was $11.99
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] d.cortez:
lol, i had a Nilkin ultra-thin TPU on my device until the Cafele case arrived this week. case search is ova! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] gPixeler:
Got the official Samsung case.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074...+LLC+(STA)&dpPl=1&dpID=31DWpYVjTmL&ref=plSrch

Very thin, minimal, I like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rcklss1:
So far I've been loving my red Patchworks Level itg case... Protective but slim and I usually like very thin cases... eg. Cali case on my S7 edge, nilkin nature series on my 6p, caudabe veil xt on my iPhones, etc. I actually think the size of this case makes the phone a little easier to use because i don't get accidental screen presses from the skin between my thumb and forefinger when typing or reaching across the screen

I like the cafele case another user mentioned earlier but honestly i have the Samsung premium care accident insurance so I may just start going naked and they even hand deliver the replacement device so I don't even have to drive to go get it ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] RSindian:
I have this case also and I'm really liking it so far. I haven't had any problems using the fingerprint scanner with this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jah:
I second that. Very clear and great tight fit and Whitestone Dome friendly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Fourstarzzzz:
I second this. Have this one my Axon 7 and it is a great case. Easy to get on/off too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
I just got this case in today and I like it. The only thing that sucks is that it does not have a lip on the top and bottom. So if you want to put your phone down on the face you have no protection. If they made the lip a little bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dbpaddler:
Those are $3 on AliExpress if you don't mind waiting on delivery.

I have the Spigen Liquid Air Armor for my S8+. Thinking of getting it for the Note 8. Same 0.4" thin dimension as their other one mentioned.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073R6PMGK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5&psc=1

My problem with many of these is the bottom is still plenty thick so even with bigger headphone cutouts, I'm getting the barrel of the plug caught up so it doesn't stay fully inserted. Little movement causes it to unseat, resets the volume and is a pain in the butt when I'm teaching a class.

I also notice the sides are not very rigid. Since there is no capture, all of these cases are prone to getting pushed back if something should hit the edge in a drop causing it to scratch the side of your phone. Another reason why I'm not a fan of these purposeless curved screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Is it just me.... When I see some cases on Ebay or Amazon they look real cool in the pictures but then when you get it...... It's just Ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KBeckett:
For my part, I've been pleasantly surprised by the cases I've bought. Prior to now, I've always gone with Otterbox Commuters, but I've switched to the Caseology Legion (for $5), the Spigen Tough Armor and the UAG Plasma... and I think all three - the first 2 especially - exceeded my expectations. They all feel nicely protective and good in the hand. A pleasant change after years of dealing with the heft of the Commuter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] rcklss1:
I don't even bother with eBay anymore i just stick with Amazon or occasionally the company's site

Only thing for me with Amazon is I've never had a return denied. The same day my return is picked up or dropped off that evening i have my refund and prime is a big deal for me. I don't purchase on Amazon unless i get prime shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] koolboyztn:
nothing bad about Amazon but both of them kind the same. Just bought this one, hope the fitting is good and not loose.

I just went on your link to buy one and it will not let me. It says the seller only allows 1 item every 10 days. Guess I bought another case from him a couple of days ago. But still seriously I never heard of that. So this guy does not want to sell?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] furfmonkey:
I got the spigen liquid air and its THIN! (in a good way) Textured back and grippy sides but not "too" grippy fits in the pocket like a dream and even beats out Diztronic as my fav case of all time.. The only case im gonna get other than this one is the alcantara one (i have a 30% off samsung code)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
I went to best buy they have the Alcantara one and I did not like it. Go over there and check it out first

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Debdrup:
Like the topic implies, I'm looking for a way (if it's possible) to have HTC Audio Manager delete files of a certain genre (for example: Podcast - so that it doesn't happen to other files). The reason for this is quite obviously because that'll enable it to keep podcasts in sync but delete the old files so they don't take up space on the device but is still kept on your computer..

I've searched the forum and various other websites with google but have come up with nothing, so I'm looking to some of you for a solution to this.. Would be kinda neat to have a "Sync podcasts" like feature that iTunes has with iPods.. Something smartphones need to compete with ipods now that 32Gb storage cards have hit the market.

Are You sad that Samsung didn't give us stereo speakers?

Well, don't be. Today I made a Dual Speaker Mod for our beloved devices! :D

Guide:

1. Download modded mixer_paths.xml

2. With any root explorer or TWRP go to /system/etc

3. Paste and overwite/replace Your current mixer_paths.xml with the modded one.

4. Set permissions to 0644 or 644.

5. Reboot & enjoy! :)

Dual Speaker Mod​
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cynk42:
First I want to thank you for the mod.

Before I install it I have some questions

1. How does this work? It uses the ear piece as the second speaker?

2. If that's the case doesn't it affect it over time?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jongcruz:
Hi, any way to ADB this to non rooted Snapdragon devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] drbveb88:
+1
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ProtoDeVNan0:
1. Yes.

2. It's not as loud as the main speaker so it shouldn't damage it. Similar mods have been made since Galaxy S6 I think, even with higher volumes and I haven't seen any complains. I used it on my S7 Edge and everything worked just fine. Didn't make any of my speakers noisy etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ProtoDeVNan0:
Probably not.. You could most likely replace it using TWRP, but not sure if SD model has TWRP already or ability to unlock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jongcruz:
No, SD don't have it and provably will take a lot. I'm asking about it because I've seen others mods done over ADB
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cynk42:
Thanks for the anwser.

Is there anyway to do this without TWRP or rooting the device? I would like to try avoiding rooting my device utill the oreo update(whenever that will be)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ProtoDeVNan0:
Seems like some mods can be applied through adb but this one requires RW access to /system which can be only enabled with root. And I could make TWRP for SD model but unlocked bootloader is required.

can we install it in a nonrooted phone
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ProtoDeVNan0:
I'm really busy with bringing AOSP to Note8 so I'm sorry for not answering.

Will it work on Snapdragon?

Most likely not. Snapdragon uses it's own DAC and different paths.

Edit: but making this mod for a Snapdragon Note8 shouldn't be too difficult.

Can I install it on a not rooted Note8?

Yes and no. You can replace these files using TWRP or just root Your phone and use any root file explorer. Both will lead to knox 0x1. But if You live in Europe then You don't have to worry about knox.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] mankvl:

I really hope they do release apk for non rooted users... Would be gladly appreciated ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] pappschlumpf:
That's not correct! You just loose Samsungs voluntary guarantee and not the not voluntary warranty. That means that Samsung has to repair any hardware error within the first two years. During the first year Samsung has to prove that this hardware error is users fault. In the second year the user has to prove that the error is Samsungs fault. Conclusion within the first year Samsung repairs any faulty hardware your Note 8 maybe has. In the second year you may have problems, with or without knox tripped.

Samsung repaired a knox tripped Note 2 and a knox tripped Note 4 for me. Under warranty for sure!!! Not even a word about tripped knox from Samsung. The complete motherboard was changed.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Thiesi:
Hey guys,

Installation of the mod was easy, and it has been working for the past couple of weeks on my N8. However, I have two issues and was wondering if they could be fixed?

1. I have the feeling the bottom speaker is slightly louder than the top speaker.

2. According to a simple stereo test, the left audio channel is being played back via both speakers whereas the right channel is only played back via the bottom speaker. This leads to a very unnatural sound, especially when someone is talking and you are pretty close to the phone.

I saw there's an experimental 30% mod, but I think a reduction of the bottom speaker's volume to 30% would be way too much. I feel it is not more than maybe ~10% louder than the top speaker. I also know the bottom speaker is stereo, so I'm not sure the second issue can be fixed, but I surely hope so as I often watch videos and streams with people talking and the unnatural sound is pretty annoying.

Thanks for your help!

No need to root as long as you use the Magisk module. However, you still need to install TWRP thus triggering Knox and breaking Samsung Pay and Secure Folder.

But if you go into system.. app or priv app.. wherever the apk is that you want to change. Select the apk you want to change and then go into the 3 dot menu. Select permissions.
