Theres a thread for this called post pics of phones with cases, it has 88 or so pages of info.
I had a speck candyshell but it scratches way to easily. Now I use a otterbox commuter and love it.

Mime glass and white UAG. Otterbox commuter back in the box. Best SP and case combination ever. And I have gone through dozens with iphone 3 3g 4 5 galaxy S2 Skyrocket and now Note 2.
This combination is light clear and if I want another color just duct tape the insert. Its like being a horse of another color in the emarald city ( haven't tried green yet, hmmmmm )

Hey guys just wanna share what I did with my case, modded it with the iron man armor, case has both hard plastic and tpu

Genuine Samsung Note 2 case, it fits the phone perfect, it has rubber sides and hard back. Samsung did a great job on the case just like they did on the phone. ZERO issues as it is made FROM Samsung. This is the perfect case for me..I do not have the overhyped UAG case nor the fever that seems to be spreading.
P.S. notice how I say best case for me??? Yea...I have no idea why people say something is the best for a very subjective topic.

I use the Armor-X case. It is hard to get (& not cheap) and comes from HK via German Post but totally worth every penny.

I'll update with a pic when I un-F my ROM's camera.
I've had roughly 50 cases since I resell them for fun. Of these, I've kept the following for myself:
2 UAG cases. 1 in black and 1 in white
2 Sweet Armor bumpers. 1 in Titanium Grey and 1 in Matte Black and Silver
1 Spigen Ultra Flip
1 Seidio Convert holster (only the holster, sold the case)
These are, IMHO, the very best available in each of their classes.
Went with the white Uag, preferred it over the silicone of the aegis

I've been switching between the Ballistic, Aegis, and UAG. It would be just the UAG if it didn't make the phone feel so wide.

Mind me asking what screen protector, if any, that you are using.
Every time I put on a different case, the edges are different enough that they cause problems.
Looks like Poetic has revamped it's Revolution case design for M8. Thinking about ordering this. Looks pretty comparable to Otterbox. http://www.poeticcases.com/revolution-5

I just got mine in and it's a lot lighter than the Otterbox Defender. Doesn't seem as bulky either. The touch response is a lot better too. On the Defender, the built in screen protector was a little loose and had some play between it and the screen. On this one, there is no play. The design is really nice. I only used the Defender when I rode my bike and then immediately took it off, with this one, I think I'll use it daily.

i ordered this last night and am excited. for under $10 shipped, it could be a steal.
quick question tho for elir41 or anyone else who has it already-- will it work with a tempered glass (MIME feather glass) screen protector?
my hope was to run the glass protector always and swap between this and the seidio surface kickstand case as appropriate.
anyway, ill post when i receive mine, but earlier feedback from those who already have the case is appreciated

I don't think you'll be able to use the tempered glass screen protector. The phone fits really snug in the first portion of the case and the built in screen protector lays right against the screen.
I don't have a screen protector so I can't give you a guaranteed answer, but from what i see, I don't think you'll be able to. Sorry man.

appreciate it man. after reading your response i did a little additional research and found out about the seidio convert which goes on top of the surface and supposedly offers otterbox-like protection. if this case doesn't work, ill just get that. probably a more elegant (but also more expensive) solution, anyway. regardless ill post in here when i get the poetic case and let peeps know.

You can probably just pop out the plastic screen protector. I did that with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. BTW this case looks a lot like the Unicorn Beetle Pro. I wonder if maybe it's just a rebranded version of it...hmm...

So it looks like they have a clear strip at the top of the case to allow for IR to work. Have you tried it? Does it still work through the case?

The IR blaster doesn't work, unfortunately. The top strip is clear, but it looks like it's purely cosmetic. I think if they followed the strip through the power button cover, it would've worked. Not sure why they didn't.

I am in love with this case.
I went from otter commuter. To love mei aluminum. This is the perfect medium.
It's light and also durable .
Buttons are super responsive and the built in screen protector is actually very nicely done.
Not bad for $16 shipped
Edit : the bottom cover port will get loose and not close after a few days. That's too bad

I received my "ice" UAG a few days ago and, at least for me, this is the case to beat for the S7E right now (especially with my adamantium S7E). I have most of the Spigen cases as well as the Spec and the UAG is, by far, my favorite. The only thing I don't like about the ice version is how easily the clear parts are scratched/marred so I've ordered the ash. Aside from the ice showing marks the fit and finish is great and adds enough bulk to make the phone feel secure without going overboard.
@OP, great video!

I have the Ringke Air but it's going back to amazon. The fit is perfect, it's really light, has a grippy but medium-quality rubber grip, but the left & right sides of the case are too soft & loose. They sometimes lift & peel off when you pick up the phone by its sides. If they made the rubber around the sides a bit rigid, it'd been perfect.

FazeRN I like your way of thinking. There are lots of good choices on the site. I will add a couple. These companies are specialized in power cases with the difference of possibility of upgrading the case even further. You can get upgrades like laser pointers, better camera lenses, environmental sensors, specially designed VR packs etc. Nexpaq and I-blades are the brands that will set the bar for smart cases in the future. Take a look

according to the list from the second link in this thread the Dome is compatible with the Alcantara case
I just installed the whitestone and am using the alcantara case. It works but the bottom is a cause for concern. The bottom left and right edges actually touch the screen protector. You have to ensure that the left and right flaps come over top the glass, otherwise you will be pushing up against the glass.

Be careful when putting the case on. There's not much room around the edges.
I bought the Zizo to be used at work and 2 other cases for home/days off but with not having much room I'm not going to be swapping cases like I was.

This is directly from them:
https://www.whitestonedome.com/blog/guide-dome-glass-compatibility-note-8/
Also, I believe the Spigens are all cut from the same plan/pattern. The bottom is RIGHT at the case on my phone but not so at the top. If I had it to do over again I would have put some scotch tape on the JIG on the top piece in the area that is the stop for the bottom of the protector. If you don't know what I mean just dry fit it and push the protector to the bottom of the phone Where it contacts the JIG, put the tape there to space it out . This would push it up less than a MM to give more gap and better center it for the spigen cases.
Whitestone + official Samsung rugged protective case = perfect fit so far. But only 4 days so maybe too early
Works perfect with spigen thin fit
