Video Review: Rearth Ringke Slim Lite case

Hey fellas,
I usually post my reviews on the S3 forums, but recently got my hands on a Note 2 for a few days and wanted to throw some coverage up. I got my hands on the Rearth Ringke Slim Lite, which is an ultra slim polycarbonate case that snaps on the back of your Note 2, providing scratch protection to the back and sides. The rear features a matte coating, which helps provide grip to minimize drops. At 11$, the case is well priced and is made well, the ports and cutouts all line up perfectly.
Check out the full review below and ask any questions, I'm here to help:

Good review! Thanks
:good:

thanks, very informative review
just waiting on my nillkin to arrive but i might have to order this instead

Glad to help out guys. I have videos on the SGP Ultra Crystal clear and a few folio cases coming soon.

I notice with most of the snap on cases for Note 2, the top/bottom front edges seem like they are exposed on impact because the lips taper off instead of going all the way around the corners.
Is that the case with the Ringke too? Hard to tell from the video (watched on mute).

Cover cases and glass screen protectors...

Hi, couldn't find anything about Samsung galaxy s7 edge cover cases compatibility with glass screen protectors.
Is very strange that people don't wont to protect their phone (that already in the case) with tempered glass screen protectors...
I know that good quality cover case (both sides) will give good enough protection but.. is very normal that phone needs cleaning sometimes and not always you will have in your pocket a peace of cloth for cleaning phone screens. I may clean against may trousers or jacket, etc. For that I'll need glass protection.
Any idea? which cases will support glass protectors and I'm talk now about cases that are fully coves your phone including original Samsung cases.

This thread is a discussion about glass screen protectors and if they work with cases.

Most do not work well with cases due to them being pushed up at the corners so everyone is waiting to see if better ones come out.

I thought that the thread you gave me link is only for glass screen protectors and almost nobody discuss a part of having two things - Fully covered cover + Glass scree protector.

I was simply pointing you to the main thread about the glass screen protectors. The main thing to take away from that is the fact that there are no good glass screen protectors yet based on the numerous reviews. Those issues won't change with a fully covered cover.

So far the best choice for a case compatible with glass screen protector seems to be Spigen Thin Fit and Ringke Air.
Anyone knows if Ringke Fusion Crystal View and Samsung Clear Cover are glass screen protector friendly?

Both Samsung Clear View and Samsung LED View covers work fine with TGSP.

What you think about Ringke Fusion? Could that work too?

Hard to tell mate. Looks like it may be OK. Just realised the Ringke I have tested with TGSP is the Ringke Air.

I've settled on the AMAZINGthing TGSP, and will be ordering it as soon as it comes back into stock. But does anyone know if a case like the Speck Candyshell Grip would work? Iv'e considered getting the Spigen thin fit, but ideally wanted something that offered a bit more protection - anyone got any suggestions?

Don't think it will be compatible. It's hard to tell. Also retract my comment above about the Ringke being ok. Looking again at my cases it depends heavily on top and bottom.
If you can tell from the photos, it's the cases which sort of "hug" the edges by a mm or two as opposed to those overlap by a few more mm on to front glass.

Close up.
That's what you have to consider when choosing a case if you want compatibility with protectors.

Those 4 tested by you that are OK in the pictures above what model are they? I suppose one is Samsung Clear View Cover, one is Samsung Clear Cover and another Spigen Thin Fit, right? The fourth I don't know.

Someone had a review on his gpell and it fit the commuter just wondering if the amazingthing will achieve the same

Poetic Revolution and Supcase Unicorn beetle pro cases should fit. as the top layer of cases go over the top of the screen protector not lifing it up. 2 part cases on amazon both under 20 bucks.

Does anybody have tried Casemate Tough Case with glass screen protector?

[Useful] Orzly / Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass supported CASES [Useful]

Oneplus 3 is a beautiful device and we all know to protect screen we need to apply a Tempered Glass. So my first TG for OP3 was Orzly. I know some of you dont prefer is due to dot matrix grid / rainbow affect. But for me it was not a problem. Also if you are unhappy with Orzly there is always Ultimate Shield TG which also a full screen TG. Problem with full screen TGs are most of them doesn't support cases specially hybrid cases. After buying some well known case, i've always found that they dont fit well with full screen TGs. But i've found cheap but really high quality Chinese hybrid case which fit well with full screen TGs :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:. So in this thread i will share which cases does support and which doesn't. You guys always welcome to post same thing to help other.. Which supports and which doesn't..

Orzly Tempered Glass + Heavy Duty Armor Shield Hard Shockproof Protector Cover Case : really great protection. Thanks for this really useful post, I avoided unnecessary purchases thanks to you !

Orzly TGSP works fine with Tudia Merge case.
I am using it for a month now, no problems.

No buddy it doesn't fit well in all corner..Thatz the problem

Yes buddy it does fit. I guess you just have to know hot to put your case on.
Take a look.
Everything is fine at the corners. The case is over the glass on every corner.
Edit:
Not trying to start a fight or anything, just maybe some people want to buy this case and by reading your post they will avoid
the Tudia Merge case, a good case by the way, with lots of colors to cheer you up.
And i have to mention that once you know how to, you can take it off and put it back in under one minute.

I'm with crazykas on this one. I thought i had my merge over the tg but with a lot of in and out of pockets it finally popped off.

annoyingly orzly flexi case + orzly tgsp = a load of crap, the case pops the screen of,f how did they not take into account the two products being used together, very disappointing.

Just bought orzly tgs and orzly bumper case. Not 100% compatible but if you pay a lot of attention you can manage to put the cover over the glass. Have particular attention to the corner.
I will test it in the next days..

I really like the Spigen Rugged Armorr Case - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H3PEWDK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
But i'm worried the tempered glass i want to get won't go well with it. The Yootech one. - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KC1TFKC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KGQHS00G2MDY
Should i just go for a regular screen protector since the case already has some leap in front. Like the ArmorSuit one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H85Q8V4/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3LQSX85N730QN
Need to order them soon too. Replies would be appreciated.

I think that for example if want to use the orzly grip or the tudia merge case, one other solution would be using a TGSP that does not cover the entire screen, like the first Nilkkin TGSP.So were the case ends the Screen protector will begin.
Just a theory.

I tried the Pleson TGSP, it was craaaaap. Didn't fully adhere to the screen at the top-left corner, I could feel the little gap between it and the screen when I touched it. Just as bad, it partially blocked the front-facing camera....I haven't seen a well-reviewed TGSP for the OP3 yet, at least none that didn't seem like they weren't bought from the company selling the protectors "in exchange for an unbiased review"
I went with the IQ Shield, and while I don't know that it would fare as well as tempered glass in something like a fall or direct impact to the screen, it's plenty scratch resistant for my needs (I keep it in my front pocket), goes on very easily, doesn't feel like it's going to come off unless I really try/want it to, and fits great with the Spigen Rugged Armor case I've got. The IQ Shield and the ArmorSuit look a lot a like in terms of the design and what they're intended for (scratch resistance vs. shatter resistance you'd find with a TGSP.)
Regarding the case, I've got both the Rugged Armor and the Neo Hybrid, and I like the Neo Hybrid just a little bit better. It feels a tiny bit more durable than the Rugged Armor, I think owing to the plastic bumper around the edge of the phone/case. It's not the Slim Armor that I had with my Nexus 5 in terms of rigidity, but either one should do you just fine if you like Spigen products. I'll probably end up switching back and forth periodically between the two, anyway.

Wow. Thanks alot for this man. I'll send you a PM and see if i can get some pictures from you. I need to order in the next 1 or 2 hours to have it delivered quickly with Amazon Prime.
This one? - https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Prot...472498142&sr=8-1&keywords=IQ+Shield+oneplus+3
I think if not getting a TG, it makes more sense to get the Neo Hybrid instead of the Rugged Armor?

Is there a cover full transparent supported by the orzly tempered glass?

Looking for a cover that covers the edges

Can anyone recomend a cover/bumper that covers the edges like they normaly do on non "edge" phones.

Check out Supcase unicorn beetle pro case. I love mine

I have the wallet case from Otterbox, the Strada series for S7 Edge that's both a protective bumper case and has a hardcover to protect the front.
I'm waiting to see what the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 case for the S7 Edge is like. Judging from what I've seen the videos about it, it seems very protective and doesn't add that much bulk to it. I'll reply back on here to tell you what I think of it.

Spigen Rugged Armor Case

Fist off i tried a Cruzerlite case and not only was it a slightly baggy fit there was no camera protection at all, a shame really as the Bugdroid cases they used to make were brilliant. As this was being returned the Spigen case became available and it is far superior.
The Spigen Rugged Armor is an excellent fit, it feels at one with the phone if that makes sense and all the cut-outs are perfect and the camera module sits around 1mm below the surface of the case to offer it some protection, overall an excellent case that i would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Any options for a belt clip holster?
Also what are your thoughts on some of the other Spigen cases for this phone

Sorry i have only used this Spigen case in particular but i cant praise it enough really, the fit is exceptional. The UK price for it was £9.99 and it was worth every penny really.
I forgot a link to it in the first post.
https://www.spigen.com/collections/...7t-case-rugged-armor-1?variant=30366585094191

It's a decent case but do wish the back (bottom) was a bit thicker to provide a greater recess for the camera circle. At $11 on amazon it's a bit pricey, but spigen materials and fitment is top notch. 4/5 stars.

I have always been using Spigen case with my OP2 and OP5T. Their cases are perfect. This time I went with OtterBox clear case as I wanted to see the blue back. Perfect fit.

Anyone know if it is compatible with Original Oneplus 7T 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector?
Or any of the Spigen cases are?
