I have had my case on for a while now and I have dropped my phone a couple of times with this case on it and it has protected my phone. Now is it the best drop protection no but it does give you a little bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Hagbard57:
I can piggy back on this. Had a corner drop with my Note 8 and the Pitaka case actually did its job. I love this thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
I ordered it and it arrived today, it's perfect, very pleasant and elegant, very light with a touch of siffice, I'm very happy.

But I found a big flaw, hands always very clean otherwise leaves very visible and ugly streaks, this is a serious flaw for me, during the day when you work your hands get dirty and touch the phone is tantamount to stain it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Yes but the screen is such a freaking fingerprint magnet that I've got to wash my hands often to not leave streaks there as well anyway! And I just work in an office!

Ok, but once you turn on the display the fingerprints are not seen anymore, on the back you always see and I do not know how to solve.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
Hi, actually the case does provide a basic protection. According to our experiences, it protects your phone from most of the daily drops. Nevertheless, there's some common sense that should be noticed:

1. Besides the heights, the drop damages are mostly depending on the angles when dropping.

2. The various ground or floor is also a key factor in the dropping. Dropping your phone onto a sandy ground would probably be worse than drop onto a wood floor.

3. The grip of the phone body. A grippy phone case reduces chances of drops.

With that being said, a bulky case may give more protections. But the drops really depends. What we have been using PITAKA cases for more than three years in the city life, and they really protect in most of our daily life.

But if you want a case that provides more protection, our new generation case MagCase Pro will be released soon, which could provide better protection but still maintains its original features.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:30 AM ----------

Yes, MagCase is made from transparent coatings and see-through material so it's easier to see the streaks compared with other material.

Hi, sorry about that, please send an email to our support@ipitaka.com to know if it's a normal situation, we have technicians there for help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
Thank you but I do not know how the technicians can help me, the problem is precisely the material that reflects a lot of stains caused by the touch of the hands, not to stain it you must always have your hands washed with soap and this can not be done every five minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] magichoward:
I just did a short video review of a few cases including Pitika. It may help

[youtube]cX9EUqzlTjM[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mujja:
In my experience the case isn't too bad at showing stains. Only time it needs a quick wipe is when my kids have been playing games. It needs cleaning less than the Spigen and Ringke cases I own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
Thanks guys, this case is very nice but to replace only a back film and have no security when it falls is not worth 50 dollars, I think I will return.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Mujja:
Did you not see the pics before you bought the case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
I tell you things that can not be understood from the photos, stains that I find very unpleasant on a frame so refined, impossible to understand how it protects from falls and if the producer says that falling on the wood and sand are different is enough to understand that in this sense they are not the best, how could I understand this from a photo? now reason, I spend 50 dollars to get a scratch protection and that's it? no thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
Truly sorry about that, the pattern of your case could affect the view as well. So maybe you could have another case color instead? :)

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:42 AM ----------

Thanks for the feedback, it's important for us to improve our future product.

Please feel free to contact our support team to proceed the return, we have a 30-days-money-back-guarantee for you if the case is still under the warranty :) Normally you will get a reply within 24 working hours.

Thanks again for your support!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
Thank you for your kind reply, I will return it through amazone, but I would like to know more about magcase pro before buying another case from another brand, and if you know when it will come out, so if the times are not long, I will wait hoping that the new model will give more protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] slurpeeseeker:
Is there any details on this new generation case? When do you expect it will become available? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] dskmat:
Ive dropped my phone a number of times (butter fingers) and so far this case has protected it perfectly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
Thank you for the understanding, If you want I could put your name on the waiting list so once it comes out you can know as soon as possible :)

---------- Post added at 02:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 AM ----------

Great to see your feedback :D

---------- Post added at 03:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 AM ----------

Thanks for the inquiry, I will inform you guys here once we have any news about the case :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] babak:
I thank you, but I must also say that the new version interests me if it comes out quickly, I can not leave my phone without protection for a long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Bond@007:
Hello all, my Note 8 is on the road for delivery ... I hope today or tomorrow !

I love this case, car magnet holder and QI charging ... but no problem to use this case with the magnets and SPen ? It's work ?

Qi charging is fast or not ? How many times to full charge with this ? Not too hot for the Note 8 during charging ?

Compatibility with Dome Glass and Invishield True Fit ?

Have a nice day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Bond@007:
Nobody can reply to my topic ?

Today, my Note 8 must be delivery !!! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] parusia:
The case itself doesn't have a magnet that for no problems with Spen, I use the Spen all the time. QI charger is fast if you have a car charger that is fast charging, if it is a regular charger is going to be normal charge speed. Normally when I put my phone to charge with the magnetic holder and fast charger takes 45 minutes to go from 20% to 85%. I have no problem with heating during the charging time. I have the Dome Glass and have no problems with this case. I dropped my phone twice on concrete with this case, and no damage has been done to the phone. So far I'm very satisfied with this case and magnetic charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Bond@007:
Thanks for your reply parusia ! :)

Then Spen work perfectly with the case because no magnet inside and only metal plate inside them.

With MagMount Qi, Pitaka said to me that there is not metal plate in the packaging but there is one with MagMount without QI ... I'm so sad with this because i wish to buy the MagCase + MagMount QI and i wish to be compatible with other case then metal plate is a big point for me for to put between my Note 8 and other cases. :(

Pitaka explain also to me that MagMount is not compatible with circle air vent of my car (Mercedes CLA) ... i dont' understand why because i read a review of a owner of Kia Stinger and MagMount work inside circle vent of his car !!!

Have you a link to buy a car charger compatible with fast charging (i hope to find one as smalest as possible) ? Have you also a link with cable compatible with fast charge ? Pitaka said to me it's micro usb in the MagMount QI ...

Any great news about magcase pro ?

When will it be available for customers ?

Cant wait for it

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
Hi, wireless charging could be affected by the metal plate (check this blog https://goo.gl/C1ubGD to know why) so we only added the metal plate to the MagMount, but if you really want the metal plate, please feel free to contact our customer service again to find a solution. Or before you purchase something else next time, we can send one to you for free.

Regarding the car charger and cable for fast charging, just make sure the charger supports QC 3.0, and both of the charger and the cable from branded manufacturers. By the way, we'll make those 2 accessories with PITAKA's logo on in the near future so that you don't need to look around anymore.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Bond@007:
Hi Lili-PITAKA and thanks for your reply.

1. Ok for the metal plate for free when i buy in your site ... I must to give your name and link to this topic for to obtain the free metal plate ?

2. This week, i wish to buy the MagCase for my Note 8 and MagMount QI.

Disassemble the rear bracket completely is possible or not ? At worst, I'll stick the naked magmount on a support bracket cd slot that I already have ... Then i buy the air vent model and if don't work in my car, i use cd slot .... What do you think about this ?

Here : https://geardiary.com/2017/11/16/pitaka-aramid-magcase-magmount-samsung-galaxy-note8-review/ In KIA Stinger with circular air vent, the MagMount work ... then i don't understand why don't work with Mercedes CLA ?

3. If i wait a little for to buy, when your new products are available for selling (car charger and câble) ?

4. What's the news about MagCase Pro, what's the difference between MagCase and MagCase Pro ? When is possible to buy the pro version ?

5. When MagBar Pro is available for to buy ?

Have a nice day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
1. Yes, just tell the customer service you need a metal plate (free) as I promised here.

2. The mounting base of CD slot or car vent can be disassembled and exchanged, please send a picture to the support team as well so the technician there could help you judge the situation.

Regarding the car vent MagMount Qi on Mercedes CLA, it really depends on the air vent of different cars, you can exchange for another mounting base if the unit you have is still brand new once you found it's not compatible with the car.

3. We don't have a specific date yet about the car charger and the cable, but you can pay close attention to our social media to know the news.

4. Now we only made MagCase Pro for iPhone X, it's expected to be released next month.

5. MagBar Pro will be on Kickstarter at the end of this month. you can sign up here to get the early discount https://www.ipitaka.com/collections/magbar-pro

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

In an earlier question about how well this case protects the phone I replied it wouldn't because it was too thin.

Well, I dropped my phone from about 1.5 metres the other day on to a hard tiled floor. The phone landed on the long edge and not single mark anywhere on the phone or case. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Bond@007:
Oh it's too late for me ... Lily-PITAKA, could you apply this discount to my order 28177 ... 10% from 203.98 usd is 20.39 usd ... could you refund me to my Paypal Account ?

Edit : I send a PM to Lily-PITAKA and also a mail to support from Pitaka ... my order was not shipped, i think it's ok for refund ... i give new to us on this topic. :)

I can to do a cancelling for my order but to make a new order after that is not the best deal, more simple to obtain refund whitout canceling ...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Yeah but it will not work with magnetic mounts in your car and with wireless charging. I have been looking for a case like this for years. As far as I know its the first case to do this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Semantics:
Spigen disagrees. They sell QNMP plates for it.

https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-note-8-case-thin-fit?variant=36835978113 (10 dollars on Amazon)

https://www.spigen.com/collections/...-mount-metal-plates-4pack?variant=29571845761 20 dollars for a case and a plate to use a magnetic mount if that's what one is into. (It's not my thing).

Again, the case looks really cool, but for 50 bucks? Nah. No way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
You can't use that with wireless charging !! The material they use is a lot more expensive than a piece of plastic that's why it cost more.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

For 15 dollars more you get a cool case that has wireless charging that's cool as hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Semantics:
10+10 = 20. 20+15 =/= 48 dollars. Not true as it really depends on the placement of metal plates. Lots of people are using metal plates placed properly and it doesn't interfere with wireless charging. It's all personal preference. If I gave a damn about wireless charging via a magnetic charger, I would rather spend 20 bucks to do it rather than 50. JMHO. I also don't buy the whole material is so expensive thing. Pitaka was nice enough to do a comparative analysis of the Carbon Fiber vs the Aramid Fiber and said - If you check the price of both materials, you will find that they are comparable over a given length, but the final price can depend on other factors as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Yeah I have a metal plate on my case right now and I have to put it on the outside of my case or it slides down off the mount. It looks hideous. Of course the Aramid case cost more to make than a 25cent plastic one. I have bought about 10 cases for my Note 8 and still have not found one that I really like. So the 50 dollars I don't care about.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Hope this case will be the last one I have to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] oarenj:
This has gone a little off the rails, but you can't compare a premium product with a budget friendly one. It's like comparing a Porsche to a Honda when all you are looking for is a commuter car. There can be no argument that this is one of, if not the strongest, lightest, thinnest case you can buy that has embedded provisions for a magnet mount that does not interfere with any functionality and is built with the highest quality components. If that's not what you are after, then this is not what you want.

Like Jason above I went through many cases on this and nearly every other phone I have had until I found something that fit my needs and wants. For me a $40 case (when I bought it) to protect and compliment a $1,000 phone was a no brainer. Your mileage may vary.

Nice, let me know what you think and if there are any differences noted from my review. I would like to see if they have made any changes since launch.

I have their QI MagMount arriving this week, I'll drop a review of that once I get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] nds850:
Thanks for the review. I ordered one yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ShrekOpher:
So I received mine today. I also got the wireless charging car mount. This is one of the best cases I have ever own. I have been waiting for a magnetic mounting case that doesn't interfere with the tap and pay and/or the wireless charging and this thing delivered both.

a Few things:

1.) The case is ULTRA thin. Probably not going to offer too much drop perfection, but its beautiful and fits snug.

2.) It took FOREVER to get here. Looks like his company is blowing up they are on a huge back order so expect at least a 15 day wait before it ships.

3.) It does not cover the buttons and sometimes it is a bit hard to locate the power button especially after having a thicker case where the power button what so easily located.

Those things being said its is definitely my daily driver and I recommend it to anyone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Just got mine in today and I love it. I also got the car mount and it holds strong. Wireless charging works great. The only complaint I have is on the back where the camera and stuff is the cut out is not straight. Someone with OCD would probably freak out. I will try to take a picture and show y'all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
Here is what I am talking about. Where the back cut out is not lined up.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] tossero:
I am still waiting for mine to ship, order placed on 10/11.

Not very happy with the way they are handling it and now this...

Guess who is that OCD person ?! ?

PS : Anyone one else can confirm Jason's finding ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
I ordered mine on the 11th too and I got it yesterday. But I did send them about 3 emails wondering where my case was. So I probably aggravated them. I sent them a email yesterday about the back cutout but I have not heard anything back yet. They are usually pretty good at replying to emails. I will give them a day or two.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] jason504:
I also got the car mount and it works great. You could get in a wreck and that phone will be still on the mount after. I changed the base from a vent clip to a flat one. I don't like vent clips. Also this mount is pretty big and so is the phone so it covers the whole vent up. But it works and looks great. The wireless charging works great too. Don't have to move the phone around as soon as I put it on the charger it starts. Still have not heard back from them about my case not lining up in the back.
