No way they are worth those prices. Same goes with CaseMate. Like, what are they smoking?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] erikivy:
May I ask which case you like so much? I'm looking for a good one and this one sounds pretty damn good. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
I have this case: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07G25D3QP?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

Probably going to be getting a different case because this one is beat to absolute crap. It doesn't even have the built in screen protector anymore because the case has a crack on the side by the Bixby button. Phone looks brand new, no damage to it whatsoever.

I get folks being wary of cheaper items and liking name brand stuff but at the end of the day, not every name brand is great, and not every cheap brand is trash. One of things I always ask people is to tell me what makes something worth how much it costs. If cheap A does the exact same thing as expensive B, I'm definitely saving me some money. There's even cheaper cases that'll protect the phone through a lot of drops.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Pesti13nce:
I just got the Supcase Beetle pro, and it is amazing. It's a little on the bigger side but it vary good proection (with built in screen protector) for the price. I know the reviews mentioned that the SP will scratch easy but i'm not too worried about that as long as Wireless charging works, and the phone is protected. Well worth the money spent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bob2300nx:
Not a fan of the case [MENTION=4613660]Jammol[/MENTION] linked too looks bulky and dont like screen protector.

Red monarch is UGLY IMO and black color is so boring for a $60 case. I ordered the UAG plasma ash case for $35 because I like the way it looks and I know it will provide good protection. If people are fine with buying other cases for $15 thats great but to be honest I have been disappointed at the cases I see. Nothing looks very good or notable IMO. So far I like my poetic affinity V20 case better than anything I see for the note 9 which is surprising since this is a much more popular phone.

https://www.amazon.com/POETIC-Affinity-Premium-Material-Protective/dp/B01IJE2RHM

Check out the customer images, looks very good with a slickwraps skin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] erikivy:
I feel similarly about the case he mentioned. Different strokes. :) I actually have a Poetic Affinity on my Nexus 6P and have enjoyed for years. I'm not getting one for my newly acquired Note however for a silly, unimportant reason. Anyway, I ordered a Trianium Clarium just to get something quick.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F999JRW/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]

I will continue my search. And thanks for your input.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
Definitely bulky which is why it has lasted this long.?

I used to get Poetic cases on my previous devices. Last one I had was for my Note 8. Very good quality case for low price.

That looks good. Please post an update if it starts doing the orange colour change. I might pick one of these up for after work usage. I currently have a MNML case for after work but it's starting to get too loose because of me taking off and off everyday after work. I work in a hospital so I remove the sturdy case after shift everyday, just don't feel like bringing some of those germs home.?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bob2300nx:
I received two cases today:

Ebay cheap case

https://www.ebay.com/itm/THINNEST-F...var=583508176168&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

UAG Plasma:

https://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-...=1549441511&sr=8-3&keywords=uag+plasma+note+9

Surprisingly, I think I am going to return the UAG and stick with the ebay case. I found the UAG to be wider/slicker/and in generally harder to grip/hold. The ebay case is much less protective but im addicted to how slim it is and the soft edges that nicely flow into the curved screen. UAG is still a nice case but I just cant get over how good the ebay case feels. Added bonus is I can get a slickwrap and show it off.

I will edit this post with some pictures tomorrow. Only negative so far is the fact that it shows fingerprints (hoping a mate slickwrap will make them less noticeable).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] username4this:
I have two cases on my Note 9 I would love to recommend to people who want "minimal" protection and "highest" styling.

They are the snap on cases by Burkley.

https://www.burkleycase.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-leather-cases/

I have the distressed leather antique coffee leather and the pebble black ones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] pizza_pablo:
I have seven cases for my Note 9.

UAG Monarch - I don't like the way it feels. It's nothing like the cases UAG originally made.

Spigen clear TPU - I forget the actual name, but it's the one that's flexible. I don't like it. TPU is not my thing any longer.

Spigen Tough Armor - (2) It is grippy and feels good in the hand, seems like it would provide decent drop protection, I just don't like the buttons. They are flush with the side of the case.

Rhinoshield Solid Suit - I use it for weekend or light duty day carry. It's a bit slippery, but is low profile and slides in and out of pocket easily. The volume bottoms are a bit difficult to operate.

Samsung Silicone Cover - It's very grippy, but because of this collects lint and hangs onto it. I would use this for light duty day carry if it weren't for lint and debris sticking to it. It's called "ocean blue" but does not match the ocean blue Note 9. It's more of a grey.

Samsung Rugged Protective Cover - I like this case. It's very grippy, without being tacky and seems like it would provide good drop protection. Some folks thin it's too heavy. It is a bit heavier than other cases, but if I'm not doing a side by side comparison I get used to it. I actually measured this and the Samsung Silicone Cover on the Note 9 on a kitchen scale and the difference was, with Samsung Silicone 8.75 oz

and with Samsung Rugged Protective Cover 9.55 Oz. I use this case for work day carry.

WIRELESS CHARGING

Ok, I got my hands on a wireless charger and tested the following cases. All achieved fast charging with screen off only. What an odd limitation to purposely build in. I was testing in order to see if a wireless charging nav dock is an option, but with no fast charge with screen on, the idea is pointless.

UAG Monarch

Spigen Tough Armor

Spigen clear TPU (I forget the name, it's the one that's flexible)

Rhinoshield Solid Suit

Samsung Silicone Cover

Samsung Rugged Protective Cover

I have not measured each one for thickness but I did measure the Samsung Rugged Protective Cover, which I believe to be the thickest of this bunch. The thickness of the back is approximately 3.6mm.

I've read some Amazon sellers state that their wireless chargers will not work on cases thicker than 4mm.

[IMG="Cellairis Aero Grip"]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51okImMDQVL.jpg[/IMG]

I have been through a lot of cases. This one works the best with whitestone dome glass and has a good grip.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I've gone old skool. Using an otterbox symmetry currently. Not bad , a little less grip however.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Amazon cheapo that I like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
It would have been nice if you left a little bit more information about this case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] rbedell:
I bought a Zizzo, never heard of the brand, got the military grade one. It fell from 4 stories and hit 2 ibeams on the way down. Had to use a manlift to get it down from where it fell. Case is cracked, but still usable. Phone still in excellent condition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Pics or it didn't happen. Better still a video lol. JOKE.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] rbedell:
Lol the best I could do would be take pics with my wife's phone. I have the screen protector on it that came with the case. It has quite a few cracks but the phone isn't cracked so I don't know how well pictures would do it justice.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Gil Smash:
Which case is this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Bannage for those that merely dump a pic with no description. Probably sales reps lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Hello everyone I've been lurking around this thread for a while and I need some suggestion on cases which have frosted back (similar to mnml frosted white )

I like that frosted look and some protection
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bob2300nx:
Just received my ringke fusion x and man do I like it. I had the UAG Plasma and returned it. That case didn't feel balanced in the hand and wasn't very grippy so it wanted to slide out of my hand.

This case is balanced and also is very grippy on the sides. It has less protection but also is less heavy and bulky. It's perfect for me who is generally careful with my phone's but more protection than the minimal is still appreciated for extra security. Some reviewers mentioned it being sharp and I can confirm that it's sharp around the headphone jack but overall not noticable unless I'm looking for it.

$10 on eBay directly from rinkge, a few bucks cheaper on Amazon (both really cheap for the quality of case)

Guys, I've read an information that most of the magnetic cases break partially s-pen functionality. Does it happen to be with wallet cases where the magnet is over the screen or behind the screen (under cell). Normally magnet is in this hang marked by circle here:

I mean precisely here:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bandario:
I think it depends where the manufacturer has placed the North or South magnet poles, from reading hundreds of Amazon reviews even then it is a little bit of luck if you will be affected or not.

This is not real leather, but has a lot of people saying their pen works fine with much fewer claiming problems than most of the ones I've looked at.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G58J5R2/ref=dp_cerb_1

I'd really like to get a genuine leather version, there's a couple of manufacturers from Turkey that do similar cases with actual, proper leather that will last ages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Let me know what you find. I also do love a real leather folio periodically.

Hello guys! What app recommend for a smart flip cover?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
Those used to be the ish back in the day. They used to come with a built in tempered glass screen protector that made phones completely waterproof. That fell off since the curved screen thing came about. Used to rock one on my Note 4.???

Sidebar - damn, the Note 4 was "back in the day." I'm getting old.?

UAG is best
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bob2300nx:
Disagree. I returned my UAG and bought a $12 ringke fusion X and am much happier. UAG is not balanced and is slippery so its much harder to use with one hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] finbaar:
I am not really a case guy but the skin coverage is fairly minimal on the Note 9 - just the back glass really. So here is a mini review of the Memumi ultra thin case.

I wanted something as minimal as possible and this clams to be 0.3mm thick. The packaging was OK and the case went on fine with my skin still applies and a wet application (Alinsea) screen protector. It is very thin and hardly noticeable when the phone is sitting on a desk. The blue colour is a pretty good match for the phone. I'm sure it will provide scratch and small amount of drop protection.

However at £10.99 I cannot recommend unreservedly. It isn't particularly "grippy", I will see how that goes over the next couple of days. Also the cut outs for the buttons are accurate but have been done in such a way that the button is fills the cut out making the button hard to locate and press.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Burgscheinkerkdeiktraast:
I guess so. I checked two first cases for N9 from German Amazon and none of them breaks s-pen writing. I was positively surprised because magnets are quite strong :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bandario:
I got one from amazon that breaks s-pen whilst it is sitting in the wallet portion. Still works fine when you peel that off though as the magnets are in the wallet, not the slip-on case: that is just iron cards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Trekker56:
All the cases hide the beauty of this phone. I'm thinking of using the phone naked with just a sleeve.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bandario:
Here's some of the cases that I DIDN'T buy, but thought about doing so:

Otterbox clear symmetry or Rhinoshield carbon fibre or Spigen liquid air?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Jammol:
That's actually a really good idea. I just did a few searches on Amazon and found this one. Seems to be a little more "protective and such and a bit cheaper.

Hey everyone, what about the official Samsung branded kickstand case, is it worth the price or are there any better alternative?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BigMosley:
void
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Majin101:
It's thinner than the note 9 rugged case. I expected it to be the same but it's not as durable. It's light and slim with a kickstand. Also, reverse wireless charging doesn't work. I tried it with my Galaxy buds and it didn't work. Not sure about actually charging the phone on a Qi charger (u don't own one).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] PuffinNugz:
Did either of you, or anyone else ever get this?

Also considering this. http://www.blackrapid.com/Wander-Bundle

Wife is having a baby in a couple weeks. Being able to tether the phone may be handy at times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blackberrynomore:
I bought the Armor-X and it was the worst case I have ever owned. It is very well made but the thing that makes it water proof also makes it impossible to hear people on the phone? I had to turn the phone around backwards so that I could hear the person on the phone. The belt clip attachment broke not too long after I got the case too. Also had to have them send me another window mount because the first one wouldn't stick to the window? I would highly recommend you get something other than the Armor-X case. I got a Supcase off of Amazon and really like it a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] PuffinNugz:
Thanks for the input. Honestly, I'm not interested in the 360/waterproof case. I already have a pro clip mount for my car. I'm more into it for the basic tether/caribiner attachment and maybe the bike mount. Did the slide/lock part feel solid? like if it's tethered, did it ever come loose? How obtrusive is the hump/clip on the back of the case? I know it obviously won't lay flat, but how big is it?

I would just buy the $25 version. https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-n9-sams...oof-rugged-case-for-outdoors-w-carabiner.html
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blackberrynomore:
It lays very flat and the clip for the carabiner worked fine no issues. I was thinking about taking the mounting socket off the back of the ****ty case and gluing it onto the back of my new case so I could still use the carabiner and windshield mount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DarthJe5us:
Can someone help me find where i can order the official case accessories from samsung with international shipping? I can't find them where i live.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] PuffinNugz:
Awesome. I may have to pick one up and give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Blackberrynomore:
Just remember that with the phone in the case the speaker is pretty much sealed up and it is nearly impossible to hear anyone during a phone call.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] PuffinNugz:
I'm not getting the waterproof version with the piece that covers the speaker. the basic one that i linked is just a regular case with the clip/activekey on the back. looks to have all the proper cutouts. Worst case scenario, I return it.

It should be SPECK CANDYSHELL
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
You can never go wrong with Spigen. Are "clicky" or easy-to-use buttons very important to you? Go with Spigen. Industry's best buttons on cases.

RhinoShield? The WORST button feedback on a case. They are so STIFF. They also continue to be that way in all new cases. They seem unable or unwilling to change the material or manufacturing process in which they make their cases because I keep trying them out on new devices and the buttons remain incredibly STIFF. In order to make them malleable, you have to take a razor to the sides of the buttons so that they can actually move more freely and easily.

If you don't have a problem doing those modifications, go with the RhinoShield. Otherwise, Spigen is the best from those two options.

Galaxy Note 9 silicon case is one that I use

I use the official Galaxy Note 9 silicon cover.

Here is why I like it -

1) official case and branding at back. Fits like a glove.

2) Grip is excellent. Gone is slippery back.

Found couple of video of it.

Still waiting for my new otterbox note 9 case but haven't still haven't received.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] peterg21:
I had this case with my S8+ which I replaced with the Alcantara. I liked the case but it was extremely difficult to pull in and out of my various pairs of jeans (of different brands).

When I purchased my Note 9 and there being no official Samsung Alcantara case, I purchased the silicon case. Now it was easy to slide the phone in an out of a jeans pocket but it picked up enormous amounts of lint. And yes, when I wash my jeans I turn the pockets inside out. If I exclusively wore dress pants or put my phone in a jacket pocket I would still have kept the case. Nice case nevertheless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jr866gooner:
I just got this one direct from Pela.com.

Love it so far. Not slippery yet not too grippy leaving it hard to take it out of my pockets.

Wishing some of their other colours were in their clearance but happy with the red!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] kdskamal:
While it is little difficult to take my Note 9 out of pocket with silicon case on, it is the only one besides Armour case, that comes without flip cover, which is something I actually prefer. I don't like flip covers as they get in the way of my usage but they definitely look the best, especially the led one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] iceepyon:
I just purchase the Spigen Tough Armor in Gunmetal Grey as usual. As I love the feel of that case on my devices. I think the silicon case that comes with the Note 9 feels a little too flimsy...

My coworker had this case, also in gunmetal and I have it in blue.

I carry mine sometimes. It's in good shape.

He carried his daily. I don't know how, but the back of his was all scratched up and ugly.

Whether it's actually OEM Samsung Gear is debatable, seems production on the real deal is/was very limited.

Whether that matters to anyone is entirely up to the individual.

The pricing is excellent, compared to similar OEM Samsung Alcantara cases from past models.
