Which one's better?
UAG is rather expensive (can't find any coupons) but i've bought 2 before and was pleased by its quality.
Spigen SAcs is on sale, but i kinda worried bout dropping my note 8 with it,
and the wallet feature interests me, sometimes i use cards for payment but not very often,
they're not that common yet in my country...

**Galaxy S6 Edge Case Review - Spigen Resilient**
Long before i pre-oreded my galaxy s6 edge phone i searched amazon for a case. And with the GS6 edge being ergonomically different from the traditional slab making a decision for a case was hard!. So like any average person would, i choose a case with high 5 star review ratings on amazon. Spigen is a popular and well known case brand, and the "Resilient" case is not so highly rated as most say it is on amazon. Here's my thoughts and review!.

Yes,I'm also a fan of SGP from Galaxy S3 and yet their current case don't have innovation on design and just keep the same appearance,seems they focus more on promotion. And now many other brand from China such as ROCK,baseus etc. is very close to them and we may have more choice on purchase.
Got this faux leather wallet case for the S6 Edge by caseen. Overall I give it about a 9/10 considering the price I got it for! The quality is fantastic and it has a lot functions (kickstand fold, credit card holders, cash pocket).
The case itself has really nice synthetic leather is almost real looking (but I confirmed before purchasing that it was indeed a thin soft kind of faux leather). I had a genuine leather case from them before for my ASUS Transformer T701T in the past, but I wouldn't spend the $40 I did since this is just a smartphone. Anyway, simply put the product is great as a wallet replacement that I use it for. I can carry around 3 credit cards and some cash with me with my phone and this has proven really convenient.
I've had similar designs in the past, but this one by caseen has a real luxury quality to it. The thickness of the inner leather holder is very thin. I had something else for my original galaxy S that was much thicker! This makes for a less bulky experience. I got it for a great price on Amazon the other day for about $7 shipped: http://www.amazon.com/caseen-Samsung-Leather-Pockets-Kickstand/dp/B00W649OO6
I chose this one due to price, but the thin quality faux leather and good stitch quality will definitely have me coming back should I break this. Already ordered the same for the regular Galaxy S6 for the wife. Hope my pictures do the talking, but I took them on my LG G2...
Thanks alan310 for a great review! Your pics look really good! The price on Amazon is a promotional one from a licensed of our dealer on Amazon. Thanks for getting the S6 Edge and S6 Ottimo wallet cases.
Sent in my phone because the charging port stopped working, and I'd like to buy a new case for my m8.
I am looking for something that looks decent and adds protection, with support for a tempered glass screen protectors.
I had a spigen case before this for a few months and the back is already scratched and looks very unappealing now.
Does anybody have recommendations?
I've always been a fan of UAG cases aka urban armor gear http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/.
Every so often they have specials going on as well.
I've been very happy with my Trident Aegis case. $20 on Amazon and offers excellent protection. I've dropped my phone several times and the case has held up well. I've had it nearly a year now with no issues.

This, I love my UAG case.
I have a ringke slim case black matte one from amazon... Been using it for a few months and works amazing! Catches mad oil though but one wipe and its clean
Otterbox symmetry
Check out the Amazon reviews.
I bought and reviewed 3 cases here in my post. I've since then ditched the dilex as it seems a bit bulky and have switched over to a black supcase unicorn beetle with a red body since i was replacing the usb/3.5mm board on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728080 I hope that might be some help to you.
spigen hybrid. transparent, great materials, very strong
Yup, i think UAG has one of the nicest looking tough case out there.
I just got in my Spigen Tough Armor kickstand case and once again it's hands-down the best in the business.
The cutout is absolutely perfect for the S Pen where it flares open towards the outside for easy access.
Light mat rubberized texture for great grip and half-decent kickstand..
It also seems to be compatible with my yootech screen protector as it's not lifting.

Yo man, that official kickstand case from Samsung is so hot. I just can't justify paying $40 for a case LOL. If I see it go on sale I am definitely picking it up though. I love how they integrated the design of the case with the kickstand

You'll pay $950 for a phone, but not $40 for a case to protect it????

You don't need to spend 40 to protect it. This Tough Armor cost me 15.99

Not knocking ya, just find it ironic that some people think $40 for a case is excessive for a phone they spent a almost $1k for. I like the case you bought and added it to a list of cases to look into for my Note, but would drop $40 in a heartbeat if I like the case. To each their own I guess.

People actually pay full price for phones??? Ive been trading up since the moto razer, never paid full price for a phone in my life.
I have the tough armor as well, have to admit, it is awesome and the price is right. I did by the beetle one though because i am considering the dome glass screen protector. I have some skinomi coming in tomorrow though, going to see how that is.
I have the spigen tough armor also. It's a nice case but I went and bought the Samsung rugged case and to me the Samsung case feels better in the hand. It's not as wide as the spigen and it doesn't have edges

I love my spigen tough armor case. I did consider buying the official Samsung rugged case but looking at reviews on youtube, it doesn't have much of a raise lip on the top so it turns me off for 40.00.

I ended up buying a 3n$60 LG G4's and trading it in for $425 on Samsung. I got 3 Note 8's for $505 each
I was able to do it because I owned three Note 7's
I got the Spigen Slim Armor but don't yet have a Note 8 to put in it. Once I have that, I'll let you know my thoughts. I've used Spigen cases for quite a while and they've always been rock solid.
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..
