[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
You want a good layer of urethane around the phone especially on the corners. The 2 layer approach is best (3 layer with case clip); urethane directly around the phone with a harder polycarbonate reinforcing shell to shore up the inner shell.

After a few good falls on the case corner if it shows signs of stress, replace the case. I'm on my 2nd Bolt case.

I do this because on the 10+ just like 20 U is a heavy phone. Almost no bevel to protect the screen from side impacts.

The most hit corner is right where the spen lives, perfect.

Make sure this corner* is well protected!

When the urethane gets stressed it takes on a shinier appearance than the unstressed area. How much this reduces its protection I'm not sure and don't want to test it! I'm on my 2nd Bolt case...

*Dopey case designers want you to have easy access to the spen and with some cases the protection on this corner is practically none existent.

If some moron of a case reviewer with clumsy digits says the case makes spen access a little hard, that's a good thing.

Count on the phone contacting the concrete at the worst possible spot... it will land on this corner:p

Try this claim to be real kevlar material from China, since Lew source his case from China too. Try to compare them :) https://imgur.com/a/CdJpX4i

Hi everyone, does anyone have any experience with the MNML cases ? https://mnmlcase.com/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
[MENTION=1209926]tossero[/MENTION] I've used them in the past. I like them but I tend to go with a more minimalistic option as I don't have an issue holding on to my phones like alot of other people I read on here. It has a small lip on top and bottom of screen and adds ok grip, more so than no case but not as good as others. If you're only looking for scratch protection and not drop protection you can find these for around 20 bucks you decide if its worthwhile to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] tossero:
Thank you for your answer [MENTION=377737]bkeaver[/MENTION].

How about the longevity? Does it wear off easily?

What do you use as a minimalist approach?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
Pitaka or Nillkin are 2 of my most popular choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] dj24:
^^^^^ I just got the Nillkin Camshield pro series case and really like it so far.

https://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-Sams...08DTXRD46/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

It has a greatly implemented camera slide cover with enough clearance that takes a bit of a tug when you slide it open or closed but it stays firmly in place. The case felt slightly slippery when I first started using it but isn't the case anymore after a few days. Same thing with the volume and power buttons since they're covered as well where they felt a bit hard to push at first but they have now loosened up and feel perfect. All the cutouts are perfectly aligned as well.

If I have to nitpick the only thing I don't like is the fact that the color is more of dark grey black rather than a deep black. I also wish it had different color options like a dark bronze or midnight blue but it only comes in a single color option. I only spent about $10 or so when I bought it from Ali express and feel like I got an absolute steal.

Packing slip just got entered into the usps system for my Schnail Titan case. Ordered it on the 7th of Aug. Wonder how long it will take to get here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] davidsmash098:
Dang this one looks nice! Exactly what I was looking for, clear matte back with black trim. I have the Ringke Fusion matte version which I like a lot except for the clear trim. Will be looking into this one!

my new case

I got the new case for my N20U, look good so far...please comment...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] borijess:
That's ugly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Greatpuuma:
Is there a case with drop protection and wallet slot?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] barry99705:
4 days from TX to OH. Post office is slooooow! :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] borijess:
I have a UAG plasma. My go to case for all my phone's. But I just ordered this one. If it's similar I might return UAG and save me some cash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] phil.W:
Only thing I've seen with a card slot to speak of is the iron armor by ghostek. Otherwise you end up with a folio case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] borijess:
Just got case not up to par like UAG.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Ricey:
Ordered and received this case from X-Doria. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CXDM67D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

IMO much better than the Ghostek Atomic Slim that I received and returned due to horrible buttons. The X-Doria is WAY gripper, the buttons don't stick out but still have a satisfying click and are leagues better than the Ghostek while also being cheaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] ewingr:
I went with the Supcase Unicorn. I like it. Seems healthy.

Kickstand works for portrait and landscape.

Comes with a belt holster. I've been using those since back on my AT&T Captivate (If I remember correctly, the AT&T branded version of the original Galaxy).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] BigMosley:
Mine should be here next week. Do the sides feel grippy? Also are the edges raised above the screen a good amount?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] barry99705:
Calipers say 2.5mm above the screen, and 3mm above the back camera. I really like the texture of the case. It's kinda rough.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] K_esco:
Anyone using the Ringke Fusion X? I have been using it on all my phone's recently but haven't had a Note in awhile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] davidsmash098:
Spigen Slim Armor CS. Its nice but was too bulky and heavy for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] broncop3t3:
I love my UAG Monarch! I've had UAG cases for my last few phones - Note8, Note10 Plus & now Note20 Ultra!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Mindgrinder:
There is also a spigen case with card slot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Proday:
Photos pls
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] phil.W:
Eh those sliding cover card holders suck. I guess that's why I never considered them as a real option and didn't list them. If you don't stick 4 cards in it they rattle around nor is the lid sturdy on it. Bought one for the note 10 plus I had and returned it because of how junky it was
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] njan_ivide:
UAG Monarch Carbon fibre... Looks beautiful.. but for me it's a bit unwieldy... Had the spigen hybrid s case, the transparent one with a Stand.. was very well built and slim...but unfortunately the sides turned yellow in 2 weeks...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] hpsauce37:
Pitaka air. I don't like having a beautiful device like this all covered up and feel like a completely different phone when stuck in a case. Clearly not a case to provide much drop protection however offers great looks and much needed grip for the phone while not compromising it in anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kingwicked:
:good::good: The only case that never ever lifts up a UV glass. same experience i had with note 9 and 10 plus
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Works 100% perfect with the Whitestone Dome glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kingwicked:
i am using also white dome UV on mg bronze note 20 ultra 5G with black samsung rugged cover and a black camera protector. i had issues with Spigen
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Proday:
Which spigen... I'm searching right now for a glass and case? On my samsung s8 I had whitestone dome + spigen neo Hybrid, Note 9 and note 10 Whitestone DG with spigen Tough Armor and all without any problems. Thise new not compatible?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Mindgrinder:
I had a ringke case due to the bumper made my phone feel broad and heavy. Got spigen clear cover today feels much better
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] lmanlo:
Here is the Whitestone Dome glass and Spigen tough armor. They fit. Just make sure glass is middle to avoid edges which could affect fit on many cases.

If installed correctly it will fit with many.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Proday:
[MENTION=2691542]lmanlo[/MENTION] tnx for advice...and fotos! I see from Fotos that distance between glass and case is smaller than ever before, and that is not good...you could have problems in lower left corner in furute, its to tight (hope that you won't)!

I'm thinking this time mby to try spigen own full glued screen glass...does anyone have experience with this one from foto...View attachment 5097457
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] makavelisk:
What is that strap that comes out of you camera? I assume it is a hand strap. Where does it go at the bottom?

TIA!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] lmanlo:
It's the phone loop elastic which helps and I use it one each phone case I get, just sticks inside the case just have one side going through camera and the other through the charging hole on case. Makes it easier to hold without the bulkiness of other similar.

phoneloops.com

If you don't want to pay and have double sided 3m tape should work the same you just have to have a fabric or elastic fabric.

Also could be transfered if 3m tape is still good so if lasyic is good could last you several cases or phones.

My Ghostek Atomic slim3 finally arrived today, almost 3 weeks after I ordered it. I got the red/black colour

Very impressed. Built like a tank
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
How well do the mics and speakers work with it?

I like the cases with port covers*.

Was looking at that for the 10+ but went with the Bolt because it offers good impact protection, good grip and a slim form factor but no port covers:(

A spen cover is also nice because the spen loves to pop out in drops...

*Ha-ha, -one- rain drop went straight into the C port a while back, took an hour and some low pressure air until it dried out and the water warning turned off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] repoman_1966:
speakers are working fine. Haven't made a phone call yet, so don't know about the mics.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] warriorvibhu:
Thank you so much for this suggestion, i was using another clear case but somehow the camera always felt exposed the little raised design is useless if the phone falls on even on concrete with really really small gravels or stone pieces like even 2 mm piece would crack the glass. Love the camera also helps me lose the worry about dirtying the camera with my hand when playing games on phone.

Thanks for posting here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] rci124:
This is what I ordered however I haven't got yet.

ESR Metal Kickstand Case
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] corb06:
Do not buy the UAG Civilan case. It has absolutley zero scratch resistant. After just one single drag across my desk, it got 3 mini scratches. First time ever UAG makes a bad case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] TheXclusive814:
Volume and power buttons were hard to press on mine. After 2 days I took the case off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
I rarely use the side buttons. In time it will probably loosen up a bit anyway.

My first 10+ Bolt case was like that, second one not so much so.

The big thing is will the case suck up a 3 foot fall corner hit on concrete?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] AdmiralQ:
I have the Ringke Air case:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CXH25H6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dirt cheap at $8 and very protective, plus it is clear and doesn't hide the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Krazycomet:
These 2 cases just arrived yesterday. The phone should be here tomorrow. The UB EXO reminds me of the old Poetic Affinity for the OG Pixel.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] njan_ivide:
I had the UAG monarch carbon fibre. It looked sick (I had posted a pic couple of pages back) but it was too unwieldy for me so I sent it back.

Now got the Samsung standing case. Its really sleek and grippy. BUT I feel the power button is easily pressed. Its clicky don't get me wrong, what I mean is, you can lightly press it and it clicks. Some times I re-adjust my grip to reach the top of the screen and accidently press the button. Any one else feel the same??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] zathus:
I ended up returning mine. To big. Did buy a pikta. I can return it but if someone wanted one, you pay what I paid and save on the 2 weeks shipping. Was 50.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] dr.m0x:
Waiting on my UAG Plasma, should be here tomorrow. Not many options locally (New Zealand) yet but I'm sure it will serve me well. Had them on most of my other Notes but I wouldn't have minded getting the official standing case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Krazycomet:
Decided to order some others since I like to have multiple to switch between. Im bad with keeping a single case. About the biggest case i ever use is the Unicorn Beetle Pro
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] cac9478:
Bought the UAG Civilian in the OD green and really loved the look but the top and bottom lip were both warped and stayed that way when installed on the phone. I took it back to exchange at Best Buy and every other one they had there was exactly the same.

I wound up finding the UAG Monarch at a Verizon store and have been very happy with it. It fits the phone perfectly and has no defects in it. Not sure what happened with the other as UAG has always made top notch cases.

I also got the Spigen camera protector which is a must for this phone. The fitment is perfect and it doesn't have the flash issue that the clear protectors have. Listen to me and just buy one, you won't regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
^meh... I've explained, in detail, why adding any element to an optic system degrades the image.

A piece of plastic is NOT a precision polished flat piece of optical glass with multiple anti-reflective coatings.

The flash "test" is just one optical aberration it may cause.

Ghosting is always present to a greater or lesser extent.

These effects may be minor and not warrant consideration but they are present. Some shoot raw with L glass lens that cost thousands of dollars because of this...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] cdon2109:
I'm using a Ringke Fusion case with a lens protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] cac9478:
Comparing a phone camera to a multi thousand dollar DSLR or mirrorless setup is a little unfair. The cameras in these phones are already severely limited in quality by small sensor size and poor quality optics. These images are really only good for messages or social media, if you need high quality images you are definitely not going to reach for the Note. Even when pixel peeping I can perceive no appreciable difference between having the protector and not.

What would make a huge difference though is a large scratch across the enormous piece of elevated glass on the back of these phones. It is only a matter of time before you set it on something or drop it and scratch or crack that glass. Having a protector that costs $7.50 and can easily be replaced just makes sense, but to each his own.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
The front cam is sort of crap but the rear ones are pretty good. What you really need is a case with good raised protection around the rear cams.

>The added protective screen can also cause erratic AF and auto tracking behavior... yes, well.

That said because of the small lens minor scratches will have more of a visible effect than say those on a 50 mm lens would; less surface area. Small scratches don't have as much impact as you might think.

A better question is how expensive are those rear lens to replace if marred? Even on a 200mm piece of L glass it's only a couple hundred, on many smaller ones under $100. On many of the largest telescopic lens (and most expensive) have no filter provisions on the front; the first element serves as the protector.

On my 10+ it already has a protective cover on the lens that's presumably replaceable without disassembling the phone.

I don't worry about it... but always have a case on it!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] xenix96:
UAG Monarch Carbon ?????
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Krazycomet:
Ok, got the phone setup and this one (Supcase UB EXO) on the phone. I love the way it feels so far. Has some grip to it on the sides, but not as much as others as the sides are a carbon fiber pattern on the plastic instead of a TPU rubber. It does not add a lot of bulk to the phone. It is a thinner case than the Poetic Affinity on my Oneplus 7 pro, which resembles the UAG cases. The buttons due not stick out too far, they are enough you can feel them and know which button you are on. They have a nice feel to them, they are not squishy like some cases. You know when you have pressed them. The front part to the case (it is a 2 piece case)covers enough to protect the curves, and allow access to the edge tools, but I could potentially see it being an issue with some screen protectors. Especially the glass ones, but I do not have one to compare it to know exactly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Proday:

I'm gonna go fancy. Just pulled the trigger on a Noreve leather case. I went back and forth, but the cutouts were my biggest hangup. But I just really like the way it looks.

So you can color buttons?

I have a similar one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] mezdroid:
Yes, it comes with additional buttons (yellow)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sanvara:
I would definitely want protection on the bottom of a $1300 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Elastep:
Well, I would tell you this, if your software has some functionality, then your hardware INCLUDING the cases you sell should somehow support it. Gestures finally reached the level of Apple devices.. But have you seen Apple cases? I mean it's a bit of attention to the details...

Mous or Rhinoshield... I can't decide between the Mous Limitless 3 case or Rhinoshield Solid Suit. I have used Rhinoshield bumper cases on past phones, but never tried Mous. Any recommendations between these two manufacturers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] antisocialbratt:
Finally got this beauty of a case. Feels great in hand and has excellent protection. Not too heavy like monarch but still great protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] BandOfBrothers1:
I always use the official Samsung Black Leather Back Case.

The clear tpu case that came with the phone is surprisingly pretty good too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Nastrahl:
For the note 10 it was awful according to the reviews. Like the silicon case, it worns off in about a month only with putting it in the pocket, so I can't trust it anymore, especially for 50 bucks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] BandOfBrothers1:
Not in my own personal experiences with it on my N10+ 5G.

Reviews can be subjective ;)

However the N20 Ultra is even better as the bottom of the case runs across instead of the open affair the N10+ 5G had.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Nastrahl:
That's a good news then.

Can you provide some screenshots?

I think they did that about the bottom part to avoid having issues with gestures. How is it now?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] BandOfBrothers1:
I use full navigation gestures with no issues on it.

Happy days.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] jah:
I'm now using the the Kevlar Latercase and it is a lovely fit. Allows you to use the Note 20 Ultra as the designers intended. The case is a bit expensive if you need to pay for international shipping and import taxes.

Bought the Rugged case using the Samsung accessories credit. I also have Spigen Tough Armor and I like the Samsung case better. Hopefully it can handle a drop. I dropped my Note 10+ on concrete a couple times and Spigen protected it. The stand on the Samsung rugged case is really versatile allowing multiple options including portrait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] *Detection*:
I dropped my S20 Ultra from my trouser pocket height only onto a hospital floor, with a Spigen Rugged Armor case on, and it broke the screen, I will not be trusting Spigen again for my Note 20 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] enjoylife1788:
I too have it. But I can't do the stand in portrait mode. Angle is too low and it looks like it might break the plastic stand. Any tricks?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sanvara:
Yeah, it's not very sturdy in portrait mode but the screen is very responsive so I'm able to use it without putting much pressure on the screen. It helps stability a bit if you extend both of the kickstands in portrait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Jfree3000:
I just got my Rhinoshield a few days ago, I have been using their cases for my iPhones and they are always my go to. It's time than the iPhone cases due to the lowered sides for the Note. Going to order a Mous case down the road since they have the built in magnet. Used the Mous clear for my Xs Max, great protection, but very slippery. Going to grab the mouse hybrid glass protector as well. Can't go wrong with either brand honestly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sammieboy:
I ordered the Ringke Fusion Clear Matte case after watching this drop test video....

In the past I've only stuck with Tech21 Evo Check cases due to their elite drop protection. I've dropped my S10+ many many many times and zero damage has incurred.

The Ringke looks to provide the same level of protection based on the video that I'm linking below....at a fraction of the cost... 10$ vs $40 (tech21).
