any try out Incipio?

I have used the dual pro for years. Im in construction and it offers great protection
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Hitch_Itch:
I picked up the Incipio Dual Pro case, I have used them in the past. Its a great case, no slip feel and good protection without bulk.

They have a good choice of colors, i got the dark red/black

My local verizon store had it for $29.99

I'm looking for a thin clear case, that's either hard to slide off or very easily removable. I want to use the magnetic coil on the wireless charging to stick to my magnet mount. It works fine without case, but not strong enough to grip with a case on. I'm using a Spigen ultra hybrid, and maybe it's too thick?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] llothar:
I am personally faithful to Poetic cases. I used one for HTC One M7, Nexus 6p and now for the S9. For HTC I had the Atmosphere line, for 6P and S9 the Affinity. It is a transparent hard case with rubberized elements.

The fit is super snug, so don't get it if you are planning to take the phone in and out often. However snug fit is a big plus protection-wise, so I am really happy with this.

The best case I ever had for my S7 was the Caseology Parallax. I am going to order one for my S9 today. The price is now £8.99, it was £15.99 when I was looking a week ago - http://amzn.eu/gj4R4BO

S7 survived countless drops and never got a scratch or crack.

Is there a good flipcase, that's slim, doesn't extend too much and has a good inner casing for the phone? I also want to have no flap to secure but magnets instead. Also I want the bookshelf ability to watch something horizontally

I have found these, which one would you prefer?

I have the Spigen Tough Armor and yesterday I dropped my S9 from waist height to the commercial carpet in the office. landed on the side then bounced on the front. not any damage at all. Screen protected slid down and popped off, but that is the screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] ThatGuitarGuy:
I really like the Spigen Tough Armor and the Clear rugged armor. Adds a good amount of protection without a ton of bulk!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] stanfna:
i just got the Spigen Air Skin (link) and it is awesome!! It does not even look like there is a case on the phone. My only complaint is that the buttons are a little tougher to feel since the case is about as thick as the buttons are tall. But after a couple days with it, i am totally used to it.

now...i doubt this case has much in the way of drop protection...but it definitely covers everything but the front glass...which is what i wanted. now i don't have to be so gentle when setting my phone down. I also like the idea of keeping the black metal from getting scratched up.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] meyerweb:
I've been using some cases from Ringke (on an S9+, but they offer the same cases for the S9) and am really pleased with them. Well made, perfect fit, excellent button action, and very reasonably priced. Not for you if you're looking for a really heavy duty case, but otherwise really nice cases.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] nguyetan13:
It's a little bit expensive but I got the official samsung rugged case. It actually feels a lot better than it looks because the back is some soft touch plastic, probably like those self healing plastic feel which i think this case is. The case adds a bit of weight but that's okay because a least it won't slip out of my hand due to the soft plastic. Bonus, it includes a kick stand. Subjective but I think it looks pretty good.

Bad thing is that the headphone jack cut out is about 3 mm deep so I can't use some of my favourite headphones.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Lily-PITAKA:
Maybe you should take a look at PITAKA MagCase for S9, it has metal plates embedded, wireless charging enabled, and it's also compatible with magnetic phone mount -- MagMount (Qi) Pro, and pretty thin (0.85mm)

im sorry yall, but i have not seen one attractive case from this thread yet. For such a good looking phone, some of you guys have really bad taste in cases
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Tel864:
I guess some people look at function and design instead of looks, I know I do. I could care less about how the back of the phone looks, I don't use that part. I want my case to protect my phone and not show it off, that's just me though.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] eastsidebiz:
i mean theres all around coverage cases that are slim. are the credit card pouches really ideal for these types of phones?

anyone here rocking a metal bumper guard + tempered glass?

ive dropped mine at least 6 times, and i just had to replace the tempered glass 2 times.. no damage to the body...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] ja-ki:
Same here.

Got the Obliq Flex Pro but it's horrible for my taste. Stupid to hold, makes the phone almost 5mm wider and it's not even that pretty. I'm still looking for a case that doesn't look like a Range Rover and a CAT Bulldozer had a child and is slim!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Trina9:
Got a Poetic Guardian first. It was okay but the screen protector wasn't tight on the screen so had lots of issues with dust getting in.

And it just felt flimsy.

So I tried a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. Very happy with this case so far. Screen protector is nice and tight to the screen. It feels sturdy in my hands and isn't super thick.

Just bought the black X-Doria Defense Shield https://www.pdashop.nl/product/8051...-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-back-cover-zwart.html. Nice detail is that it turns the downfiring bottom speaker to a front firing speaker.

I have the LED case for my S9 and...it's still in my drawer. I've put it on the phone, played with it for some time and checked the notifications, was cool that they now include the color on the bottom animated line (below the actual notification sign). I also liked the grip (feels like a fabric/cloth) but in the end I've tossed it away...this phone looks so awesome to ruin the aspect. At least for now, I'm looking for the slimest, clear looking case I can get, I've seen a top 10 clear cases review and I might go for an ESR case. Maybe in the future I'll return for the LED cover and take it out from dust

For my S8+ I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and it's a great case that's served me very well - but I am going to try the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case for the S9+ as I want see if I'm happy with the protection while hopefully showing the elegancy of the phone a bit more. We shall see - phone and case arrives today.

As I'm coming from rugged outdoor phones I decided for a protective solution: Unicorn Beetle

It's a snug fit case and screen cover, just the screen cover is a little too easy to scratch with phone and keys in the same pocket, so I'll most probably buy a new one every 9-12 months...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] jcrompton:
Wondering if this case would allow for wireless charging ... in other words can it be detached from the wallet portion and will a wireless charger work with the case in place?

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Cloudane:
I went for the official Samsung clear view cover. 4 days later and I already regret my decision (admittedly, partly because I forgot how tedious I find flip covers) -

* Collects fingerprints and smudges like crazy

* Adds a lot of bulk

* Pretty ugly (and hides the much nicer looking phone underneath)

* Seems to interfere significantly with the heart rate sensor

* Flipping the cover open and folding it back gets very old very quickly especially if you tend to use it one handed

* Cover tends to suddenly fling itself open when sat on the charging cradle unless you kind of "massage" the spine with it shut first

* When the cover is flipped round the back it makes the fingerprint sensor awkward to use

* Looks daft dangling around when you take a photo

* Rumours of the hole where the magnet is marking the screen

* Rumours of the plastic shell chipping the paint off the sides of the phone

* The visible always-on display thing is neat but a bit gimmicky really considering most functions are done by opening it

Pains me to have wasted £30. I'd be inclined to return it but have thrown the box out - Amazon UK's return policy is new and unopened unless defective. It's not, it was just a bad decision. I could argue quality (statutory rights) but have done that a few times this year and don't really fancy getting banned :/

The theory originally was to keep the screen from getting microscratches (i.e. hairlines in the oleophobic coating) without having to mess around with screen protectors, as I suck at applying them. However I decided to try slapping one on (just a cheap JETech as I wasn't going to splash out on that hideously expensive Whitestone thing everyone shills like mad only to mess it up) and to my surprise only managed to get one bit of dust underneath. So I have more options now.

Went for a Spigen Liquid Air which will be here tomorrow. Only thing that concerns me is (like many cases unfortunately) there's a pattern on the inside. Having seen inside patterns etch onto people's phones before that's something I'm going to have to keep an eye on.

Samsung Alcantara

These all-glass phones require a case to be the least bit practical. I bought the Samsung Alcantara case with the phone. And I suspect the case is the single reason I like the phone as much as I do. The phone plus case is still slim, easy to hold, inconspicuous, secure to grip, stays reliably in your pants pocket, feels nice to the touch, doesn't collect lint, fits snugly, and might even keep the glass from shattering in a minor drop. i was so happy with my first case I bought second when they went on sale for (USD) $29.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] HellDiverUK:
You'll be fine, Mrs HDUK has that case on her LG G6 (which was formerly my phone), and the glass back is still perfect. The G6 was one of the first ones released, so the case has been on there a long time.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Lao Mayer:
I have 2 cases for my S9, both silicone:

Cubz, with finger ring and metal plate for the magnetic car phone holder:

And Nillkin for its' slimness:

One major disadvantage from the Nillkin case is that starting from S8 TPU cases they removed the flaps that covered the 3.5mm jack and the charging port. I can't imagine why they did that.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] ovu85:
Patchworks Mono Grip was my choice.

It's a good balance between protection/size and volume but i can't confirm it will do maximum protection for the S9.

The case is made by hard plastic, coated with a rubber on the outside, it has good grip. I didn't tried it with secured glass.

PS: the metal plate doesn't affect the wireless charging!

Picked me up a new S9 at Sam's Club today with their early Black Friday deal where they give you a $300 gift card with purchase. Along with getting on of those glass screen protectors I always run on my phones I also ordered me a leather flip case on Etsy from Hand & Hide. This will be the 3rd one I've gotten there and at $99 they are a bit on the expensive side but they've save my phones on numerous occasions and are damn well worth it it my opinion. Seems all the other leather cases I've ever bought have been made of cheap paper thin leather with a cheap plastic phone holder glued in, these are made with top grain leather along with a stitched in sturdy leather attachment that's holds your phone in them, along with the proper size cutouts for all your ports and cameras ect......................

What about a magnetic case for samsung 9 with back and front tempered glass
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] L31FY:
I got the LifeProof Free case because I don't trust myself to not drop this thing in a sink or something with how klutzy I am and my cat has knocked it off some high surfaces now onto hard floor and it's been great at handling that even when hitting screen down, not even a scratch on the case. I got stuck out in a bad rainstorm just a day or two ago and it proved itself there too. Phone was the only thing on me not soaked through because of the case.

ShellBox : waterproof case IP 68

I'm using this waterproof case IP 68 : ShellBox. Very Easy to install and remove. The phone is very protected.

There are caches pour Jack & USB ports. The notification Led is visible.

However with broad daylight if it sunny i can see very little dot on the front case.

I do not yet test under water. For the price is a good case.

UAG Plasma or Monarch series hands down. Here's the well used on on my Midnight black S9+.

It's sleek with the rear back panel which melts in with the smoke colour of the case. Practicality wise, it provides a decent grip and good drop protection while keeping bulk to a minimum.

Can anyone recommend a thin TPU case with good grip? I got a Spigen Liquid Air Armor and it's close to what I want, but would prefer something thinner if anyone can recommend something. Don't need it to survive a drop - need it to stay in my hand and avoid falling!

Just go for supcase. best and good looking..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] Revontheus:
UPDATE: For those using Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro, specifically the one that comes with the on-built screen protector. Do NOT take off the screen protector unless necessary. I learned this the hard way. Upon re-installation, the screen protector developed bubbles underneath which sort of made it look like it was wet. In actuality, it wasn't wet, the screen protector is just sticking to the oleophobic cooating of the phone display.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Accessories] ams9:
I got something good for my photo-video recording needs: Krusell Sam G960 S9 Kivik Cover transparent.

I am not sure if I am putting this in the right place - it belongs to the DIY category. A year ago I bought a used S9 mainly for multimedia applications. While playing with filming and photographing, I found a lens hood to be useful. I cut a rectangle out of some stiff black plastic foil, bent a short tab that I pressed between the case and the back of the S9 - it worked. But it was hard to put in my pocket, so I cut a round hole in the back of the case into which I pasted a photographic UV filter 46 mm diameter, and add the 46/49 adapter ring . Now I have the option of screwing on the old photographic rubber "accordion" lens hood and filters, the most useful for me is the adjustable ND filter. Thanks to this I can take interesting shots against the light.

I made the cut with a hair saw. It turned out to be very simple, because the back flat wall of the Krusell case is made of strong, stiff plastic (the side walls are soft, flexible).

The glue does not look elegant, but the most important thing is that this modification works very well.

P.S.:

The case has been serving me very well for almost a year. I would like to point out at this point that the case, I think, regardless of the manufacturer, is a cover that makes it difficult to transfer heat from the smartphone to the outside. This is especially noticeable when filming at 4k / 60fps in full sun in summer and the ambient temperature is high (I tried it at 30 ° C). Then, after a few minutes of filming, the screen darkens and finally the smartphone turns off - this is how the system protects itself against overheating. Perhaps the smartphone would heat up less with lower filming parameters, but the quality I have at 4K / 60fps suits me best.
