Should I get the UAG Monarch. Ghostek Nautical, or the ARMOR-X case? I can't decide but I want the best protection I can get, if there is any alternatives I would love to know what they are!
Thanks

Decided to go with the Ghostek Nautical. It's a nice case with excellent protection, including an integrated screen saver. The two downsides are that the S-Pen is very difficult to remove and headphone use requires an extender, which dose not come with the case. It reminds me of the Otterbox Galaxy S7 Edge case that had an integrated screen protector.
I've seen at least three other cases with integrated screen savers (all available through Amazon) but have no experience with these:
1) Love Mei Water Resistant Shockproof Aluminum Metal Super Anti Shake Silicone Fully Body Protection for Samsung Galaxy Note 8
2) Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Case, SUPCASE Full-body Rugged Holster Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Galaxy Note 8
3) i-Blason Galaxy Note 8 Case, Shock Reduction / Full body Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 8
I have the UAG Monarch on order. I've been using their cases with every single phone that had one available for as long as I can remember. I always had their standard cases (now called Pathfinder) but they apparently aren't making those for the Note 8 and I hate the transparent cases. So this is my first Monarch, I'm sure I'll love it just the same.
I have the Ghostek Nautical. It's not to great to be honest.
The photos when using flash are blurry and have the halo light effect.
You cannot get the S-Pen out unless you have small fingers or use another object to try to remove it.
It's kind of depressing because this case was awesome for my galaxy s8. Only reason why I decided to use it for my note 8.
I got a Nautical, and honestly its not worth anything near the amount sold for.
The one i got the power button did not work unless you hit it with a hammer. The fingerprint cut out was not aligned with the phone. The plastic feels cheap. and due to a reflection from the case, its impossible to take a photo with flash with the cover on.
Highly disappointed.

I'd say go with the OtterBox Defender, tried and true. If you are paying $60 for a case might as well go with the Defender.
I understand wanting to protect the phone, but looking at these cases they are unbelievably bulky. Sturdy yes but wow, the added bulk. What are you guys doing with your phones that you need such a massive case? I'm genuinely curious as my last case was a Bear Motion for the Pixel and it didn't even cover the top and bottom. And even now I'm only using the Rinke smoke TPU case.

I have a thick protective case instead of paying monthly then a deductive for insurance, especially nowadays that everything is glass the phones are too vulnerable to drops. Sure I'd love to rock the phone "naked" and show off the amazing design but if I dropped it I would be extremely pissed I just broke a $1000 phone.
I don't understand why some find it to be a problem that others want to protect their 1000 dollar investment some ppl work in accident prone jobs we need protection I don't like spending multiple 1000s repeatedly.

I bought a Ghostek Nautical for my Galaxy Note 9. The s-pen cover does not close. After complaining to Ghostek and demanding a replacement case or refund, Ghostek agreed to send a replacement. It took two months to arrive. The s-pen cover on the replacement case also doesn't close. Don't waste money on their case..
Hello there possible saviour of headaches,
I've been browsing around for hours now through fake/legit comments recommending this or that product.
It seems as finding the perfect screen protector for this phone is a hassle, so my question is, of the ones that YOU'VE tried.. which satisfied you the most?
Please post pictures, if you have the energy to do so, on the current state of your screen protector.
Thank you for your time!
Ps. You may claim the title "saviour of headaches" after your contribution.
If you need protector not tempered glass
Buy from official site
I'm using this one https://es.aliexpress.com/item/ZNP-Vidrio-Templado-Para-Xiaomi-Redmi-4-4-Pro-4X4-Redmi-Nota-4-Nota-Pro-4X/32836035031.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.XaBkJF

3mk Arc (also 3mk Arc 3D if you need back/sides protection aswell), it's screen protector over whole screen (it's foil not glass, and yes it goes over the edges aswell), perfect fit it's not even noticable and it's not coming off anywhere, 0 bubbles and it has self regenerating coat..
I tried a lot of screen protectors including Aliexpress ones but they are all trash, all of them have some issues (mostly poor fit, or some weird color issues). But with this i'm 100% satisfied, im not looking for glass protector anymore. This is enough for scratch protection, for drop protection i have case..

Here you have video with 3mk Arc 3D (for different phone) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2phEqkGAAnQ
This is their official store: https://folie-ochronne.3mk.pl/pl/c/Redmi-Note-4-Global/1369 39,99 zł. is around 10 Euros.
I live in Indonesia. I know one trusted screen protector brand. The brand name is INDOSCREEN.
They have some type of screen protector with price range and technology which you can check on their website.
If this brand available to your country I suggest you choose their top line options. Mask premium series hybrid film model for instance. It's impossible to break, made from PET plastic - glass, absorbs low to medium impact, and delicate to touch, oleophobic coated too.
This black and red packaged product is quite pricey. But no compromise quality and lifetime warranty plus 3 times free changing sure is worth the money.
I think the main reason why we not getting a proper screen protector is because of the curved screen ... I hate that 2.5D glass screen. Life was much simpler with a flat screen.
And thats why you shouldn't use tempered glass on this phone but good quality screen film / foil with full screen coverage. 3mk is really top notch quality but feel free to look for some alternatives, i'm not looking anymore.
I use brotect mate since 1 years, perfect ! Find on ebay

Read my posts in the tempered glass thread
My preferred across several devices now is the Nillkin Anti-Glare with Matte finish. It's up to personal preference, but they're the ones I like most. Every new device I migrate to, I purchase 2-4 of these for its lifetime. I like their visual acuity (not as "clear"), touch and feel, ease to clean, and oleophobic effectiveness.
"Nillkin Matte Mi5" will find it on ebay, AliExpress, etc. Check youtube for examples. Like with most plastic film, replace every ~6-12 months depending on your preference.
I´ve been using a no name anti glare foil from Phonenatic and does a good job. Bought on e-bay, a 2 pcs set was €2,40. https://www.ebay.at/itm/371815842272 and also have a 9H glass, this is okay as well. https://www.ebay.at/itm/372136883554
I use this: https://www.gearbest.com/screen-protectors/pp_1284329.html?wid=1433363 and i am very happy with it, it also has all the holes in the right position, so you don't even see and feel that you have it installed
I want to buy Note 8 next week, but before I buy it I want to know the best way to protect this phone.
Regarding the front glass, It looks like none of the conventional tempered glass work well right ? I concluded after reading many previous theads that only Whiestone tempered glasses work. If I am wrong please correct me.
Whitestone is very expensive, I don't live in US and I have no such a thing in my country, so I have to pay its cost + 15 $ for internation shippng, that's 60$ for a tempered glass that is given 3.5 stars rating on amazon, I feel it is a big gamble. I found another company called SGfresh Idea ]that applies the same principle to its tempered glass for 23 $ which is half of what Whitestone asks. Still expensive but If I can guarantee decent result I would give them a try. However I couldn't find any reviews on their product, so If anyone tried Sgfreshidea for their note 8, please share your opinion on them. Their website is sgfreshidea. com
For the back glass, I read many recommendations for Spigen cases, but I hate the shape of their cases. I really like the Alcantara case, but I am not sure if it is enough to give protection to the back glass, any opinions on this case please ?
I also would like to ask about rhinoshield bumpers. There are some famous youtube channels claim that the rhinoshield bumper protect the phone from any fall. They show videos where they throw the phone and do some drop tests but I am not convinced. Does it protect the back and front glass? How does it do so?
Which would be a better option .. Tempered glass + Alcantara case or rhinosheild bumper ?
Thanks in advance

I've thought about a tempered glass as well but I ended up getting the IP68 rated Punkcase simply because it covers the entire phone, doesn't add too much thickness, finger print still works through the case, wireless charging & Samsung Pay works. I know even though the phone is suppose to be rated IP68, water can get in the charging port and you have to wait about 12hrs before you plug it in to charge. Not that I go near water a lot but I can use my Note as a radio in the shower without worries. Now I would like to try and see if a tempered glass would be thin enough to fit inside of the Punkcase.

Search Amazon fie full adhesive tempered glass screen protectors. Theres quite a few now. I personally am using the Singularity brand, but I noticed they just raised their price by about $5.

I'm actually going to switch to the Zagg Curve Elite, which is a full adhesive. Its expensive at $50, but comes with a lifetime warranty. You break it, they replace it. It just costs $6 shipping for the replacement.
As far as cases...I like simple TPU cases. Ringke Air is my favorite.

Do you think the Singularity full adhesive is the same as the other full adhesive protectors? Not withstanding the Zagg Elite which apparently is a new design.

I don't have the Alcantara case so I cant say 100%, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's pretty case friendly.

I think they're all the same. I can't say that 100%, but I'd bet they are. These companies on Amazon don't make their own TGSP. They buy them from a supplier and relabel them. Same with tires, paper towels, cereal, milk, etc...
Hello everyone, so I have either had a google device or a OnePlus and am used to the clean OS. I decided to go with the S21 Ultra due to the reviews and I do enjoy it, but I don't at the same time.
I must applaud Samsung for all their "extra" features they put in UI 3.1, but for me, I don't use any of them and prefer the stock/vanilla Android. I actually think my old OnePlus 7T was snappier then the 21 Ultra.
Another thing, I was never a fan of the curved screen. I ALWAYS put a tempered glass screen protector on my phones (they were always flat) and its saved me A TON of times! I got one for this phone that's curved but its so thin and has air bubbles that it bothers me.
Do you guys think there eventually be Roms for the device?
I'm also a fan of Google phones in particular due to their clean Android interface design. Samsung just has more options in the settings menu, however, I only have to go into the settings menu like once or twice per week - so that doesn't bother me at all.
But with that said, this S21U phone is definitely snappier than both my old Pixel 3XL and one of my family member's OnePlus 7T. And the speed jump, in my case, could be a result of having a Snapdragon 888 and using the 120hz refresh rate (whereas those other two phones have slower chips and only support 60hz refresh rates).
But yeah, based on you asking about custom ROMs, I can tell that you're not in North America and have an Exynos version of the phone (as any Snapdragon devices in NA don't support official bootloader unlocks and so you'll have to pay over $100 to unlock your phone in the potentially distant future). If that's the case (you have an Exynos), then yes, you will be getting custom ROMs in the near future. But if you're actually in NA, then no; you won't be getting any custom ROMs for quite a while.
But if you do have a Exynos version of the phone, then that would be rather interesting. Everyone online is continuously saying how the Exynos version performed better than the Snapdragon version in some benchmark tests. But it'd be pretty funny (and highly unfortunate) if the Exynos phone performs far worse in actual usage situations when compared to the Snapdragon phone. I'm already very well aware of the Exynos phones getting much hotter than the Snapdragon phones, but I'm not sure about the actual usage performance difference yet.
Oh, and one more thing! To comment on the glass, definitely beware of the S21 Ultra's glass! It's super, super fragile and isn't just the new, Victus Gorilla Glass that they said that it was (so it can scratch and shatter extremely easily as a result).
Oh wow! Thank you so much for the write up! I actually have the Snapdragon model (Canadian) and thought the bootloader lock wasn't an issue anymore... darn it...
Ya I totally agree with everything you said about the phone, great phone, way faster then my oneplus 7t, but I think I'm still selling it.
Thank you for your response
If you want a quality curved screen protector go with this one. It fits perfectly and there are no air bubbles. A UV light cures the liquid adhesive. It's pretty much a knock off of the whitestone dome glass screen protector.

How are finger prints on this? Cause I've got the dome glass and it is stupid expensive but damn, finger prints are almost non existant or come of real easy and it feels glassier than a very glassy like material made of very glas like stuff
But I'm glad other companies are coming out with their own

No SD card slot. A missing keystone feature that greatly limits the usability and flexibility of the phone.
Hello, I see there aren't many cases out there for the Zenfone 8! So I created this thread for people to share their findings with other people.
Personnally, the only 2 cases that I saw that are not very cheap cases from aliexpress are these ones:
Cases
High Protection
RhinoShield Solid Suit (Offers high customization, full case with optional printed back plate)
DevilCase Guardian II (Offers high customization, bumper case with a swappable clear or printed back plate)
Medium Protection
to be added
Light Protection
to be added
To Be Verified/Tested
FZZSZS Silicone + Sreen Protector (Silicone case and 2 tempered glass screen protectors included)
Osophter Shock Absorbing Clear case (Reinforced corners, clear case
Shantime Thin TPU Case (looks pretty cheap from the pictures, especially at the bottom ports)
J&D Thin Clear Case
Screen ProtectorsTempered Glass
Supershieldz 3 pack (rated 1 star, would wait before buying)
Plastic
RhinoShield impact protection
However, these cases are a bit thick (and expensive), so if anybody finds any kind of case, please post it here
Let's hope more manufacturers join in and make cases for this phone!
(I will edit this list to add cases as they come out)
Edit: I bought the RhinoShield Case, will write a small review as well as some photos when I get it (or IF I get it...)
There are cases and screen protection available at Aliexpress.
Leather, fabric, silicone, You name it, it is there.
Also screen protectors, hydrogel and tempered glass.

Unfortunately no, it does not come with a preinstalled screen protector. However it does come with a higher than average quality hard plastic case so thats a big plus!

How protective would you says it is? So I can add it to the list (how thin is it and does it look like it would absorb shocks easily or badly)
Excellent cases
I have now tried 2 screen protectors.
One full covering IMAK Pro+ (Or the kinda, names vary depending on site) and a CALANS Not-full-covering 9H.
The CALANS seats very badly and leaves air on the sides.
With neither does the fingerprint reader work properly. It is a hit and miss game of hundreds of tries to even register a fingerprint and especially the tips are really hard to register.
Seems like using a protector on this phone is a no go.

Do not buy from Amazon the screen protectors "LEEKUANGSU [2 Pack] for ASUS Zenfone 8". They are 3.5 mm too short and the packaging does not mention Asus Zenfone 8. Just a scam.
Hi, is there any screen protector which works perfectly with a fingerprint reader and can be bought on Aliexpress? Thank you
Hi.
im looking for a case that turns of the screen when closing it.
The phone is listed to have a hall sensor so it should be possible.
Just bought a cheap flip cover on AliExpress but it doesent work.
Anybody that knows about a working one ? Or maybe the hardware doesent support it after all?
Thanks
