I settled on a few cases so far for my Ocean Blue Note 9 and this time didn't go with a Spigen case, a black case on a blue phone just sets off my OCD I guess. Picked up the Caseology Parallax series in blue and the Asmart Resilient Shock Absorption Case Slim Cover Soft TPU also in blue. The caseology is a bit more rugged than the Asmart so I use that during the week while at work and the Asmart on weekends. Tried the Samsung rugged case but found it gets really warm while on the wireless fast charger and it's a git on the thick side. Other cases I want to try are the Speck Presidio grip in blue/black and the UAG PLYO in Ice.

I just ordered a Rhinoshield Bumper yesterday and it already shipped. The website still says pre order so pretty excited to try this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @rbiter:
Good luck with that.

can u show a pic of ur phone inside the case? especially the front side of the phone (i wanna see how bulky the case looks on it from the front)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] KaranKapoor:
For anyone looking for an Alcantara case, I've ordered one from Interiorex...

https://interiorex.com/products/alcantara-galaxy-note-9-case

It's still in transit so I'll update my impressions when it reaches me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Looks promising, I've always liked the feel of a fabric on a case on my hands. The edges appear smooth which I like.

Only thing off putting is that it mentions the exterior is hard case. I personally prefer the outside to be a soft touch design as opposed to hard plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Li-Pol:
Same here. I would like to buy Pitaka case for Note9 too. Previously have bought their wireless car charger and cases for 7Plus and Note8. Let's invite somebody from Pitaka here :o
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ShrekOpher:
Shoot them an email and send the a message online. If they get enough demand they will make one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vagelis:
I just received mine, the overall feel of it is great. Slim but protective. Not enough lip for the screen, and if you have a Dome Glass protector it's almost the same clearance. The back feels nice, not so slippery, and the sides are grippy enough, but not as grippy overall as say the Spigen crystal.

Buttons are clicky, but a bit stiff, which means you won't be tripping Bixby accidentally. The design is simple, but elegant, not adding bulk and it covers all the sides, unlike last year's OEM case for the Note 8, that left the bottom exposed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] KaranKapoor:
That sounds promising. Looking forward to it. Is the inside of the case soft or hard touch? Do you think it'll scratch the glass back?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vagelis:
It is soft to the touch. Soft TPU, should not scratch the back. . As i'm using it today, I can appreciate the small bevel that guides your finger to the fingerprint sensor, and the overall design. The Alcantara is supple, and provides a great sensory feedback. Not slippery, but not grippy either.

Can you take a few photos?

Looks good. How does the alcantera feel? Grippy?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vagelis:
Answered above:

Not slippery, but not grippy either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lee480:
A glass case is good.. When you drop the phone the impact is spread over the glass case (and cracks it) and not the phone itself
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] destz0r:
using the spigen liquid air, this is the best case ive ever used, not bulky and very good buttons. grip is pretty good (not as good as the spigen rugged armor though)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dwertz:
I dont know. I still haven't got the phone yet. I just hit my 30 day waiting warning
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AndyCr15:
Poetic sent me some cases, have to say, I was honestly impressed by them -

I've used in the past and currently using a Spigen Crystal shell and couldn't be happier with it. I really like the metal magnetic kickstand.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] FYL21:
+1 for the LED Wallet Cover. Haven't been using it recently in favour of a clear case, but it withstood a waist-high face-up drop onto a washroom floor (ugh, jacket pocket is too horizontal!). My only complaint is you can't make the phone stand horizontally.

Currently I'm using a clear case. I don't know the brand as a family member bought it overseas but it has slightly protruding corners of slightly rubberized plastic. The back is a harder type of plastic but I can still scan my bus pass through it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lvoonjian8888:
Hi, I had updated the review for RhinoShield CrashGuard. Look for my thread 'Best Note 9 Protective Case Showdown'.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bonerp:
Anyone bought the La Manon classy Spigen? Looks good. I've ordered one - here tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] KentuckyHouse:
I've got both of these and they're my two favorite cases. The Grip in the blue/black is my go-to case and the Pylo has a nice feel in the hand. One interesting thing about the Pylo that I didn't realize before I ordered...it has the same dimple pattern on the back of the case as it does on the inside to prevent watermarking. I thought the back would be a smooth, shiny finish, but I love that it's got the slightly rougher feel to the back. Fingerprints are nearly non-existent on the back of it.

I'd definitely recommend either (or both) of those cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Batas:
My MNML case just arrived. This is how it looks. The buttons could protrude a bit more, but not a problem. In the hand, it almost feels bare.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bonerp:
Spigen la Manon. Nice. One of my favs. With Whitestone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Geners:
I have this case and love it. A little slippery. But protects well and shows my blue baby's color really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] cpufrost:
No Diztronic?!

Does not look like Diztronic is making a case for the Note9!

Blasphemy! I've had one for every note series!

Their FB was quiet and I thought they may be slacking but they are making them for new iPhones so there's that.

I like thin even though my S9+ screen cracked with a under 3' drop to marble floor. Yuck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
I decided to pull the trigger and buy this last night. Had to pay $14 for their fastest shipping option. What's annoying is the fact that these guys sell cases on Amazon but they don't sell this one for the N9. Prime shipping would be nice.

RhinoShield Crashguard on Amazon

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Thanks! I can't believe I missed this. If you click on their name on Amazon they don't even list the N9 as one of their phones but they have this? Ugh... not organized.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] AndyCr15:
I got the CHOETECH one to try -

[youtube]z1tItu527wg[/youtube]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] FYL21:
Not exactly sure if it's my case as a relative bought it overseas, but mine appears to be the 4smarts Hard Cover Ibiza.

https://dice.bg/en/4smarts-hard-cover-ibiza-for-samsung-galaxy-note-9-clear-item35775

Back is a flat sheet plastic while the corners are hard silicone. Even with my bus pass, I can still do wireless charging and the bus pass scans perfectly (I previously found silicone clear cases to be poor at that).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] demize!:
Just an update. I ordered the oem Samsung military case for 9 bux. 39 retail. It looks pretty nice in silver and has an easel function. I'll post pics when it arrives. Currently using Spigen Crystal which I'm very happy with.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] RedDevils88:
This is my setup, metallic skin + rhinoshield bumper + whitestone dome
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] lvoonjian8888:
Welcome to RhinoShield Club. Combo it with Dbrand, Mojo Skin or Slickwrap, your Note 9 will look fantastic. Too bad Rhinoshield did not release the CrashGuard NX series for Note 9. If not, you can customize your case button color too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Yeah, that sucks. Bumper cases like these are what make skins like Dbrand really appealing. Clear cases look too glossy and or turn yellow eventually. Bumper cases, true bumper-only cases like this one, need to be more ubiquitous. I don't understand why more OEMs like Spigen and others do not make bumpers like this. Especially when more phone makers are coming out with more colors for their phones.

I got the camo print back skin from Dbrand that I'm looking forward to slapping on. My Rhino case arrives this morning! I'll post an update.

---------- Post added at 08:01 ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 ----------

That. Looks. DOPE!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Yeah, it's a NO for me with this Rhino bumper case. I'm a pretty big guy. I don't have the strength of a 10 year old girl but these buttons on this case are way too stiff and too difficult to register a click compared to any case I've ever tried ever. What the hell? This bumper case was so promising, now it's back to Spigen for me, I guess. Spigen has everyone, I mean everyone, beat when it comes to the button feedback on their cases. At least most of them. Rhino is like the only option for us Note 9 users who just want protection for the sides of this phone. Maybe I'll revisit my idea to modify some Spigen cases to remove just the back? I don't know.

If this Rhino case could have had buttons from Spigen it would be the most perfect case for me. I'm sending it back, along with my Dbrand skin since I won't be needing that also any longer. Oh well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alfred_mcskee:
Had the Rhinoshield SolidSuit in black for the last week now and don't think I'll need to change it ever. Came from switching between Spigen Liquid Air and Nillkin Ultra Soft Crash Proof Liquid Silicon cases (both excellent too imo). The SolidSuit is just... solid. It adds some thicknesses, but I don't feel too much, the sides I find are grippy and the back doesn't show fingerprints or smudges hardly. The most important thing is it makes me feel 100% confident my phone is safe. Whether from drops or scrapes, it just feels like a quality product. I have Whitestone Dome also, which is fully compatible.

I've had their CrashGuard bumper in the past too (Note8 & S7) and really liked it aesthetically, but always had concerns over the lack of rear coverage. Now with the SolidSuit I feel they've made the complete package, when it comes to a sleek protective case. I highly recommend it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Okay, I got my true daily case. The Otterbox Commuter. I haven't used an Otterbox since my iPhone days (last iPhone was the 4s) and boy have they matured these cases. They're not these giant plastic bricks that I remembered. This Commuter case is pretty slim considering the protection it offers.

Compared to all the other cases I've tried for this N9, I really enjoy this one the most. It's very easy to hold and the buttons are perfect. Tested on my three wireless chargers, it charges just fine. Lips on the top and bottom? Slam Boy Certified for sure! Shout out to Flossy Carter!

The hard plastic on the back is just perfect for hiding everything. Fingerprint smudges and other junk. It's just simple. Not overly aggressive in design like most of the "tough" cases out there. It's subtle and mature-looking. The port covers are spot on. I miss having that protection, even with our IP rating.

Overall, I'm likely gonna stick with this case for the long run. I doubt I'll be trying anything else out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
That's funny , as my last OtterBox was also for an iPhone 4s. I remember promising never to buy those type of cases again, after removing mine from the OtterBox the aluminum frame around the iPhone was blemished in all the areas where the inner hard plastic notches were in contact with.

Edit . I'm assuming the commuter model has a soft inner case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Yeah, soft rubber. The rubber on the sides makes for very easy and confident grip. That blemished stuff was one of the main reasons I've been ignoring Otterbox for such a long time but it seems they've been doing well in updating their designs over the years and have really matured well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
RhinoShield finally made the CrashGuard for the Note 9 so I plan to buy one.

But their screen protector are twice as cheap as Otterbox' and I wonder if there is any differences?

Because I'm thinking about to buy the back screen protector too, but if Otterbox one is better I don't mind buying it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Throb1231:
I just checked their website and dont see the CrashGuard for the note 9...only note 8...WHere did you see it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
That’s odd.

I checked their French site, since I’m French: https://rhinoshield.fr/pages/shop/S...guard&prod=samsung-galaxy-note-9-coque-bumper
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Zanr Zij:
After tried many cases I stick with 1.2$ case: balance protection, grip and thin fit :D
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Just be aware that the buttons are much harder to click than most cases I've tried. I don't know why they made them so stiff. I sent mine back to Amazon.

I use this clear back case with a dbrand black camo skin:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G81XPG4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_DGwWBbBZSM794

And a small solid color skin around the camera. Looks good, try to post a picture tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Hmmm, those buttons are recessed. Not my cup of tea. I think if I went with a clear back case again it would be the one from Spigen that has a black rim and clear back because their buttons are raised and very clicky.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
I went for a full RhinoShield set, with a CrashGuard, front glass and back protection (I got a dbrand skin but with a full set I got a discount).

Since they made it without black edges borders (just top and bottom one), I'm OK with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dominicstg2:
How is it? I have a tech21 Evo tactical but want to try the bumper
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
I'm currently waiting for delivery :D

But I'll get in touch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jaime3344:
yea they are recessed, I didn't pay much attention to that.. they are a little difficult to locate by just feeling if your not looking at the phone. Maybe that Spigen is the way to go, and it looks as if the clear back may

show more of the phone than the one I have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] speed8081:
I am using the UAG casing for my note9, good protection and fit perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
Received and installed (crash guard and screen protector)

The CrashGuard is like already said before, seems like hard matte plastic. I thought it will be more like rubberised but it's not, so I wonder how it can protect up to a 3m50 fall.

It also got very stiff volume buttons. I think you can play with them a bit when you uncase the phone to soften them, but I agree it's annoying.

I like the fact that it prevents you to touch the phone's edge so even if it's not rubber you get a better overall grip.

About the screen protector... Well, you don't have any case to properly fit it to the phone so I got the lower left part of the phone hardly responsive but then I pushed it while still on the screen to try to place it better and now it's working well.

But, like many screen protectors, you have the dot matrix even if it's barely noticeable but worse than that: the ugly rainbow effect at the center of the screen that I can't get rid of. Very annoying especially at low brightness since it's quite visible.

I may be wrong but I have the impression that it's very likely to be more "greasy" than without. At least I notice fingers traces more.

Finally, it glides very well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dominicstg2:
oh alright so the screen protector is glass or impact plastic like the rear? and have you dropped the phone yet?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jaime3344:
went with the Spigen clear back suggested by roaduardo, and a skinit camo skin with a note9 sticker I made in powerpoint:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alfin97:
Looked for and purchased 5 different cases and finally Samsung's protective standing cover suits me quite well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
It's tempered glass.

Actually it's the second time I purchase protections for my phone (the note 8 was the first, with only a Whitestone DomeGlass). It happened a few time with other phones but they never broke anything even without any protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dominicstg2:
I have a white stone nock off on with a note 8 skin modified to fit the note 9

---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------

Also I read their screen protector is just for scratches not drop protection I remember the tech21 impact screen protector and the rhino shield back in the day which had a similar screen protector I love the glass feel but want the drop protection ( Whitestone before had the invisishield glass which is horrible kept falling off) aswell
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
Yeah I think all tempered glasses are more for scratch protection than shock, but they are smoother and glider than plastic ones, but better for shock I presume.

It's all about what you are searching for and feel. I tested SFC screen protection after seeing one of their video about hitting a phone with a hammer then a screwdriver, plus tossing it against a wall and falling to the ground; without phone having any damage, but it's a pain to put on the screen and the feeling is awful. A very "rugged" feel, you can't swipe at all.

I think I'll go for a Whitestone again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] dominicstg2:
What's SFC?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
Oops sorry it's SCF : https://www.simplycarbonfiber.com/collections/galaxy-note-9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] cdig:
does the crashguard not push up the dbrand?

Wanna get a dbrand again for this phone, but i worry its gonna not work with that bumper well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Nastrahl:
It doesn't. Just be sure to put the skin first.

I only got a back skin since I wanted a front protector which they want be installed altogether.

But no problem with the back skin.

The black matte skin goes well with the crashguard, because they have similar texture and colour

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] sino8r:
I've been out of the game for a while and am new to the beveled screens. Are there any cases available with a fuller sized protective lip specifically on the sides? I'm worried that all these with edges on top and bottom won't protect the device with a precise fall. Is the only choice an expensive screen protector? Would y'all recommend a tempered glass or is a plastic more absorbant to impacts? Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] averel01:
Bought the uag monarch ! The best protection for Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jaime3344:
Nice, I've been thinking about that one..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pizza_pablo:
I believe that the Samsung Rugged Protective Cover would provide more protection as it seems more robust that the Monarch. I have both.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] averel01:
I do not like the look on the samsung protective case. It looks like a suitcase. In note 8 it looked way better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] alfred_mcskee:
I totally agree. I really liked the Note8 version and was very disappointed in the design change...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blues fan:
The Note 8 version also didn't have much of a lip for screen protection. A lot of people broke screens with that case.

I got the black Monarch case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bond32:
I have to ask, why get the UAG? What makes it worth the significantly higher price? It seems there are tons of other cheaper options.

Not saying it's a bad thing, I think they look awesome personally. But not $60 awesome...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] averel01:
I have changed 3 note 9. One black 128 gb ,one blue 128gb and now i have the black 512gb version. I had the same case in all phones. UAG MONARCH CRIMSON RED. The first note 9 fell three times from a decent height and it did not happened anything. It is the ultimate protection you can have for your phone. It worths the 60 bucks because it saved my phone 3 times. Now i am going to get the Black version of the case
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
People please stop with the "ultimate protection you can have for your phone," comment. There are plenty of other cases out there that the same thing can be said for. This case is NOT WORTH $60. It doesn't do anything different than the other ridiculously priced cases that offer "premium protection." There's no such thing. I have a cheap $20 case on my phone; and $20 may not be cheap to some, but I've dropped my phone numerous times. It has fallen out of the car, work car, F150 truck, down two flights of stairs, accidentally left in the work pants and went through 15-20 minutes of a Eco Warm wash cycle in our Samsung washer, forgotten on the roof of the work car and drove off...twice, and it endures the torture of my 2 year old when video chatting with the grandparents. This case is not the ultimate protection, but it damn sure makes me feel good about only spending $20 on it.

And no, I'm not salty towards UAG, they make fantastic and stylish cases. But $60 for something Otterbox was doing for so long ripping people off with their cases, all because nobody else was making a case like that at the time. It's 2019, there are a ton of cases like them now. Why are they worth $60? Because "everything is worth what people are willing to spend."

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 PM ----------

It's not worth $60.
