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?
Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.
I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

I've used this on my s7e & Axon 7 and loved it. Bought it for my note 8. Should receive today. It is a thin case. I've dropped my s7e many times on concrete and it survived.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.
I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and it is pretty good.
However the Samsung Clear Cover Case is far superior and you don't even notice it is there
Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.
I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Otterbox symmetry. The best and slim.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.
I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!

Two different animals. I believe the Presidio case would be more protective if you dropped your phone on some concrete. The Patchworks ITG cases are just an all around fantastic Note 8 case and for the $3.99 sale deal you can go wrong. The fit and feel of the Patchworks is second to none. Adds absolutely no bulk to the phone, fits like a glove and provides decent protection. The sides have good grip while the back is quite slippery.
My favorite color ITG case is the red one. The contrasting colors just pop.

I work in construction, as well. The case I'm looking for needs to be dust and waterproof, so I researched them all. Most are not dust-tight, or waterproof, at all, but there are a couple. I reviewed two on here the other day, and that thread is down just a bit from this one.
ArmorX is what I'm using, right now. As soon as Juggernaut gets theirs out for the Note 8, I'm probably dropping the money on one... I've seen the Juggernaut cases take some serious abuse, and I'm pretty sure that whatever they come out with for the Note 8 is going to be the most protection you can get on the market.
I'm using this case: https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-note-8/products/galaxy-note-8-case-rugged-crystal
It's so cute and sexy but may not be suitable with construction.

i use the unicorn beetle and can confirm it is the best. i work construction. it has flaps to keep dust out your ports but at the same time isnt super bulky
i need two cases, one rugged for outdoors and one sleek / slim for everyday use. Both should be Whitestone OK as well.

How long have you been using that case? I'm reading on Amazon that some people are saying on the first drop their screen broke with that case.
Love the UAG Monarch. I haven't dropped my phone yet (fortunately), but it feels so solid and protective while maintaining a much slimmer profile than the Otterbox.
Is the supcase unicorn pro with the screen protector have a soft or hard inner case design? Does the N8 sit on hard or soft plastic?

Are there any gimbals that will fit a Samsung Note 8 in a case... I would hate to put a bare note 8 on a gimbal and have it pop out by accident. I have the zhiyun smooth III and will not fit the note 8 with a case. I'd like to know of a gimbal that will fit the note 8 in a case or if I can modify the smooth-iii to make it fit?
