https://urbanarmorgear.com/collecti...s/products/monarch-series-samsung-note-8-case
Update 1: Sorry guys I've been so busy of late I completely forgot about this post. On the positive side it gives me more time with the case. If you've had a UAG case in the past the Monarch is just a better built version of their previous cases. It looks fantastic, it feels great, it's not a fingerprint magnet like I was fearing, and it's thin and light. I don't know how UAG will handle the 10 year warranty if there is ever a need to take advantage of it but it seems sturdy enough to last at least 2 years. I can take pictures of the device at a later time but like all of the UAG cases it fits like a glove.
I won't be applying a screen protector until I find one with little to no complaints. My note5 did fine in the 2 years without one and I don't see a big need for one with even better glass.

Just got my Monarch and I love it
Pictures
Would love a in depth review of the Monarch on the Note 8. Thinking of switching to UAG from Otterbox and would appreciate having more info before doing so.
fit pics please.
Love UAG cases but will need to confirm it works with Dome Glass. I saw a couple videos where they test various cases with Dome Glass but did not see this one reviewed.

I believe I saw somewhere that you need to put on your Dome Glass perfectly in-order for the UAG cases to work. Not 100% though

The question is which screenprotector he is using?! In general you're right. None of the glasses i've tried worked with the plasma. Atm i'm using a wet installed conventional screen protector.

The Note 8 Plasma cases are tempered glass killers and that's a fact.

I have a plyo and it's a bit loose at the bottom. I think it's because the large cutout for the Spen that weakens that area.

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/accessories/curved-tempered-glass-screen-protector-t3320688
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?

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.

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?
Anyone who can recommend a tempered glass that will work with UAG Plasma case? Have the Spigen Neo screen protector at the moment.

understandable, just showing the option and what it would involve/look like... from what i've seen the other protectors aren't as good due to them not having the curved protector and screen. i drive for ups on a rural route and constantly have to deal with dust from dirt roads, this was just my best option if i wanted to use that uag case. happy hunting and if you find a good one followup and let me know about it

Understood. I love the UAG case but don't want to alter it to make it fit. Had the same issues with the Note 7. I am currently using the sup case. It works well with the zizo glass screen protector. It had similar to UAG protection.
Here are some pics of the Sup Case.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074W6GCZH/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The UAG Monarch fits the whitestone dome according to a video review on youtube. You must get the screen protector absolutely centered but it does appear to work in the video review. Same review shows that the uag plasma does not work.
What about the plyo series?
I'll be rocking both a Plasma and a Monarch depending on activity and I'm looking forward to finding a TGSP that works, too. I plan to use IQShield in the meantime.
Unfortunately the Spigen Neo film for the note 8 doesnt work with the UAG Plasma.. ended up trashing one of the films trying to make it fit.. the film was too thick and corners were too long to fit in the plasma..
The generic full coverage TG I ordered had the same issue.. I think its really the corners of the case that make it difficult to find screen protection for this case..
Here's the back
Yes, it seems like more protectors fit the Monarch but not the Plasma. I wonder if a case friendly IQ Shield would work fine. I have the Plasma already but am still waiting on both the screen protector and the phone.

I've gotta say, after trying 3-4 other silicon/PU cases, the one from Spigen has got to be the best.
I like that there is a lip around the screen so even with a tempered glass screen protector, the phone won't rest on the screen.

Not bulky at all. Maybe a few mm more than the included clear case.

I kinda questioned the same about the odd rectangle part around the camera. Turns out that part releases heat when it's warm while gaming etc. It's like a heat sink fin since the motherboard is around the camera. It's a bit thick but that's the point. To protect the camera and the glass back and front. It's a dust trap though so need to clean it at times especially around the camera.
So I've have my mate 10 pro for a few days, and after looking at all the cases on eBay,Amazon,ect I've settled for this spigen case, it's the most I've pumped out for a case (£13.96 delivered UK) but the all glass body has me worried
Are you guys happy with the case now it's been out a month or so?

Yeah the 2.5d screen protector is garbage, I wish I hadn't removed the one that Huawei fitted because the glass one is too narrow for the screen its still peeling around the edges,

Fantastic case, there is only one thing I don't like.
I can't see my beautiful blue back of the phone and in the front there is nearly nothing but display. Is there a chance of getting a transparent spigen case?
Hi guys. Do you have any screen protectors installed onto your M20Ps? Please put here brands of protectors that you have installed and an info about fingerprint sensor working/not working after installation. I have this installed
https://flavour-design.pl/szklo-har...MIwYnk8P2y3wIVUImyCh2DjgUDEAQYASABEgL9JfD_BwE
It sits perfectly, no air bubles, it covers an entire screen and an in display fingerprint sensor works perfectly too. There are tons of instructions on youtube on how to install it properly and it is not hard at all. One thing you must remebmer is to cure it for about 10 seconds first, then wipe off any glue from the edges and then cure properly for about a minute or so. I can honestly say this is by far the best tempered glass screen protector for M20P
Does it work with spigen cover or other covers? I really like the spigen rugged armor but it makes me glass protector pop off..

Yes it should. I have tried a cover from Huawei and two other cases, one of them being Alogy Carbon and no issues. I've seen a rugged armor case is shaped pretty much the same as Alogy so it shoud be ok.

I have wasted my money on some sxxx full glass protectors. The best one that I am having now is from a Taiwanese brand Hoda. It's a UV glued screen protector. You need to have some tools or need someone to do it. Smooth to touch, stain-proof, and no bubbles. There's some little space left for protective cases, but no gaps after they are installed. Five diffetent cases have been tried with, including the original one, all fit. I am very satisfied.
