Got a speck Presario pro 2. It most certainly feels good in the hands. But not sure about the inner construction, it has teeth like grooves on the inside which I assume is for impact protection. Wonder if they'll wear out the note frame over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Most cases do especially when they get dirt along that groove. The sides get the worse of it.

You can use some carefully applied teflon tape to protect it.

Cheap enough so if it doesn't lay down right, try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Limeybastard:
Indeed when they get dirt in there they all do, I always clean mine with a lense brush as well the case inside to prevent that issue. Some materials by their nature like silicon cases marr the stainless steel or high polished frame regardless of dirt being present.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] fabienpascal:
I'd say either a D-Brand Grip (so you can personalize the skin to your liking) or the Razer Arctech Pro (it has a thermaprene cooling layer, drop proof certification and an anti-bacterial coating).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] inneyeseakay:
Ive had quite a few but keep going back to my Poetic case. Best combo of protection, button feel and in-hand feel IMO.

Generic MagPul case for the Note 20 Ultra.

I purchased these generic MagPul cases for past phones and they were pretty decent. This one for the N20U just feels cheap and offers almost no front glass protection.

Not bad but I don't recommend it.

Here are a couple of low quality pics:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Is it slippery?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Had a case very similar to this at first on my 10+ as there wasn't much selection locally.

These phones love to faceplant when they're not busy corner hitting.

The first drop was on the 2nd day, a faceplant on an aluminum angle edge; the factory screen protector saved it.

I ditched using it as soon as I could get a better case. Doubt my 10+ be intact today had I not done so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] SpaceGooner:
Yeah, it definitely is compared to my other case which is a Samsung Protective case which is grippy and feels great in the hand. But the Samsung case is way less rugged despite its name. In comparison, the Mous case is tough, thick and very rigid and looks much more protective.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Thanks, just ordered the fiber one. Are they shipping in retail packaging now or still the cardboard box?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] SpaceGooner:
Mine came in retail packaging in the UK - a box with a clear plastic window on the front with a slide out drawer for the case itself.

My Latercase Cyber Edition case arrived today, it looks and feels great, has complete camera protection, unfortunately it offers no screen protection, only the 4 corners reach the height of the screen, but they don't quite pass it, so if it landed on it's screen it would hit the screen

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Polycarbonate by itself will not absorb corner impacts well. Even if it doesn't crack, it will transmit more of the G force loading from impact to the phone... and the frame/screen, internal components.

I highly recommend using a case with a urethane liner.

Two layered polycarbonate/urethane designs are best.

These phones wuv to corner hit in drops:(

tbh, i was just gonna use (i ordered them as well) mobile outfitters clear coat front and back and rock it just like that. oh and a tempered glass camera protector.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
I thought about getting a similar one for my 10+, high dollar at the time. There was no selection locally.

I didn't like the price and didn't trust it for hard knocks.

For whatever reasons it was latter discontinued which I rather ominous.

I went sight unseen with the Bolt. On my 2nd one, inexpensive and it has saved the 10+ from multiple drops on concrete. Zero damage. In spite of the Bolt's excellent graspability things happen...

So it seems you will soon have a live experiment in progress. Looking forward to hearing of the results...

Use your better judgment to determine what to do.

I stopped using a case I paid $35 for because I knew it was inadequate. I'm simply not going to risk a device that cost $1G to an inferior case, plus the inconvenience and probable data loss.

Unfortunately finding good cases and screen protectors for these curved screen beasts is somewhat challenging even frustrating.

Lol, when in doubt throw money ie cases at the problem:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] freezingpoint:
For those of you who uses Samsung rugged case, are the sides raised higher than the screen? I'm not too fussed with the edge of the screen being covered and am looking for a case that's raised on all sides. And also the camera bump at the back, is it raised?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] *Detection*:
Hmm, this thing cost me £39 and took 2 weeks to arrive too.... ah well, live and learn

Yea I noticed that yesterday, I had looked for the mic prior but couldn't see it, but after watching a video I see it's hidden on the side of the camera bump

Was planning on getting another case for when I'm out and about anyway as this one doesn't protect the screen, thinking about Spigen Tough Armor but slightly put off from Spigen after dropping my S20U from waist height and cracking the screen even though a Spigen Rugged Armor was supposedly protecting it

Mous case finally in today for the Note 20 Ultra. Took a month of Sunday's to receive.

Quality seems top notch and I like that they are now shipping in retail packaging instead of that half azz cardboard box.

The sides seem pretty low so I'm sure there will not be much side glass protection. I will try the phone in the case once I get back home and report back. Here are a couple pictures, the best I can get with no camera and no lighting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Guess the images are not working :( Mous case as slippery as a wet bar of soap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] SpaceGooner:
It's interesting how Apple have suddenly "invented" their new Mag Safe tech when it's almost exactly the same as the AutoAlign magnetic tech available on Mous phone cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] davidsmash098:
How are you liking the case so far? A little bit concerning to hear that it's so slippery. I really want the case but at that price, it better be perfect haha. Any other cases that you'd compare it to?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Perse26:
I've had a few cases so far. Right now my favorite is the Poetic Guardian. It's like $16 on Amazon and it seems pretty secure/protective. I like the raised bezels on the side my last case a Nillkin had very low side bezels which, for me, caused a lot of errant touches.

Try this: https://www.walmart.com/ip/ZIZO-BOL...=112354586&wl11=online&wl12=710342750&veh=sem

Been using this for almost a year on my 10+

Helps with accidentally touches but leaves the curved portions accessible. Has taken multiple drops on concrete plus a few face plants with no damage to the 10+

The case it's self shows no damage but have replaced it once because of stress marks (they look shinier than unstressed areas) on the urethane from hard corner hits... to be on the safe side.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Yes, this thing is real slippery. The sides are very low and offer little side glass protection. The rear camera protection is good. The buttons are also not that great.

The case it's self is quality made and a sharp looking case indeed. I went right back into my Samsung rugged case.

The UAG Monarch and Gear4 Battersea are pretty decent cases. The Speck Grip 2 is also a fine case for the N20U.

The next case I'm going to order is the Dbrand Grip with several different skins for the back. Just waiting for Dbrand to have a sale.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
It's not that big of a deal. The only thing that mic does is for zoom in video. How often do you really use/need that? For me very rarely if ever. It's another samsung gimmick feature imo...

review of some minimalist cases

Here is a review of some cases I have been trying out recently. The majority of these offer little to no drop protection as my focus isn't so much drop protection but rather scratch protection......from the constant laying of the phone on tables etc. I would almost just use a skin but I hate the orange peel effect films have......

First is the ESR glass case.

https://tinyurl.com/y3zxugbq

I don't have pics of this one as I'm sure everyone has seen a pic of the phone in a clear case. This one does offer some drop protection given the tpu border, and the glass back is nice. The only negative on this case is that the tpu border turns yellow rather quickly. my first one turned yellow within a month...I would recommend this one to anyone looking for a small bit of drop protection in a good looking clear case.

Next is a really thin matte black case

https://tinyurl.com/y564wdcx

This one looks pretty good. only down side is that the matte surface is a magnet for oily skin blemishes...doesn't stay clean long but looks good when it is.

Next is a frameless aluminum bumper/glass back case

https://tinyurl.com/y6jt5k3m

i had high hopes for this one as it looked pretty cool from the pics but ultimately was a let down. The back glass is just that....a flat piece of glass offering no camera protection at all. i don't see myself using this one at all

The last one is my new favorite.

https://tinyurl.com/y2kpmb5j

Its amazingly cheap and to me looks pretty good. Its very minimalistic and probably only good for scratch protection but it does extend out a bit from the screen protecting it if you lay it face down and the camera section extends slightly beyond the camera protecting it if laying on its back. The one negative is it took a good 5 weeks to come in......

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] sammieboy:

Mahalo! I got the blue one showing up on Friday.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] punkerEVO:
None of the Samsung cases come up past the sides (just the top/bottom) The only case ive found that has a lip higher than the sides of the screen is the ghostek covert case (also has a raised ring all around the camera) but I usually keep it in a poetic guardian or supcase unicorn beetle pro. (Both have edges that come up almost exactly even with the top of the screen, and both have saved my phone from drops already!)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
It's important that the front sides of the case are slightly higher than the screen. It provides better side impact protection as well as more protection when faceplanting on uneven surfaces.

Makes the phone easier to use by limiting accidental touches. I hold my 10+ by the lower corner of the case with my thumb constantly.

The spen corner needs robust protection or it will be eventually damaged in a drop.

Again a 2 layered (3 layer with clip on back) system is best; inner semi-rigid urethane liner with a hard polycarbonate reinforcing shell. It keeps the urethane in place during hard and double impacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] phil.W:
Got my iron armor 3 finally for the note 20 and I have to say it checks all the boxes for me. Has camera protectIon bump, has a card holder and comes with a kickstand. I personally expected a slightly harder case versus it being some rubber/tpu composite but its still reliably tough. Like most cases it covers the top and bottom lip but not the sides on the rounded edges which is more or less par for the course. Only gripe is that wireless charging becomes more tedious to get that perfect spot because of the kickstand spot right on the back however again, it can be sat up or on its side so it does a good job of that at least.

The Schnail Leather Book Cover case for the Note 20 Ultra is one sweet case. The smell of the quality leather, fit & finish are just perfect. Magnetic clasp holds the case shut nicely. Room for several credit cards and a drivers license. The part that holds the phone is a nice soft silicone that won't scratch the sides of you phone. Nice deep protection for the cameras on the back. Overall one fine folio case for the Note 20 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Brapabout:
Avoid the Samsung LED wallet case. There is very little protection on the sides and top. After a 6 inch drop on the bottom corner the plastic cracked and the phone falls out of the case easily.

I settled on a Tech21 Evo Check. I had the exact same case on my Note 8 for the three years that I had it. It's a nice, lightweight case that is pretty protective.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Limeybastard:
The hole cutouts are too big. Especially around the usb port plus their after sales service is abysmal. Tried to make a warranty claim for an evo check case on another device because the back was staining. All I got from Tech21 was auto emails claiming to state my issues above the dotted line and that covid-19 had effected their customer service dept. Will never use them again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
Yeah. The holes are pretty large. I agree with that. My original case was a Samsung Rugged Case. The kickstand lasted about fifteen minutes. I wouldn't care, if it wasn't so expensive.

My wife and I both had Tech21 cases on our Note 8s. Hers did the same thing with the staining. I threw it out. Mine lasted three years and is still going strong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Limeybastard:
Must be my shady finger oils. Mine stained after a few weeks. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
I always thought that it might have something to do with either her makeup or hand cream. I ended up giving her a Spigen Tough Armor case that I'd bought and not used and she loved it.

I admit that the quality of the Tech21 case I now have isn't as good as the one for my Note 8. I'm not sure I'm keeping it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
Check out the Bolt case. Been using it on my 10+ for about a year now and it's tough.

Doesn't stain whatsoever, doesn't attract dust and is easy to clean.

Built in stand, easy to hold, and comes with a clip attachment too.

Only possible downside is no c port cover although this hasn't proved much of an issue. There was that one rain drop though, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] Limeybastard:
It's too lumpy and bumpy. Causing hand fatigue.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
It's not a slippery fish.... and it's a relatively thin case for the level of protection it offers.

I have small hands. There are many different hand holds with it including the kickstand.

You don't need to take a death grip on it:laugh:

I've done what you're describing.... you need to relax your grip. The slight back ridges make it easy to hold with a very light grip.

Many times I hold on the bottom corner with my thumb (which you can do without accidental screen hits) or cradle it in my hand with my index finger on that one ridge below the cam. Never really even thought about it until you mentioned them.

Literally I use it for hours on end; it's a good ergonomic design in my opinion.

I got today a I-Blason Ares black, pretty good quality case, it offers huge protection (even edges) and its not that bulky as others, pretty elegant still and refined. Transparent back. Feels good, maybe not the best grip but overall I recommend you to look at it. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] usmaak:
I ended up getting this to give it a try.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F3BLFNF

Make no mistake - it is a cheap case. I doubt that it is very protective of the phone. Even though it adds a hump to the back of the phone, it doesn't seem to affect wireless charging. And my wireless charger is a cheap mousepad with a charger built in. Interestingly enough, the spen hole is smaller than on my 3x the price Tech21 case. The cutouts are actually well done. Even so, I doubt that this case would do a better job of protecting the phone than Tech21.

I probably won't keep it as I like more protection on my phones. The camera cover seems to work well. It seems like it has enough clearance that it doesn't touch the camera in any way. The thing that I like about it the least is that it smells weird and though the smell has faded over the last few days, it's still there.

If one of these companies making cases created a good protective case with a camera cover, it would likely get a ton of purchases. I know I'd buy one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] blackhawk:
The camera assembly already has a cam cover as it's literally on the rear cover. Simply use a case with a raised guard around the case's cam cut out.

Adding any additional plastic or glass protectors will cause optical degradation to some degree.
