cases with - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

So are there any cases that cover open ports?

Did you find anything useful? I've been looking for something similar also. Ringke Fusion cases I've used on previous devices had built in port covers, but the Note8 models don't seem to now ?

Thanks, I've got a tgsp I'm happy with currently. Have seen several rugged/all round cases that cover the ports but am looking for a rear only case with them, which seems hard to find... ?

I'm using this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...are+note+8&dpPl=1&dpID=51ox+Ns+8-L&ref=plSrch
- its nothing special but been working fine for me for the past three weeks I've had the phone.
Can you use the poetic case without the front section, or do you mean just remove the protector/film part from its frame? Do you think you'd still be able to apply a separate screen protector within the front frame of the case? Hadn't thought of that, but if a tgsp could still be installed within the front part of the frame, I might well give it a try at some point, thanks for the suggestion ?

I'm pritty sure with the stock protector removed it will still fit as there is a bit of give when you put it in the back case
Not sure what it will look like as far as not using the front frame but the flaps are on the back part of the case I think you may just have a lip all Around where the back part of the case grabs the front part
To be honest I was thinking Of Popping out the fitted protector and trying that Way as I think touch Responsive Will be alot better

I'm not sure how that specific one is, but i just got myself their snap-fit shell case (http://www.boxwave.com/samsung-nexu...amsung-nexus-s-snap-fit-shell/bwpdd/tzw-zfkz/) and it looks / feels pretty good on first impression.
I also got their cleartouch crystal screen protector and my screen finally looks gorgeous (like it always had, whenever I'd peel off my old protectors).
the cleartouch protector doesn't reach until the top and bottom edges of the phone - but that's probably a good thing, because the NexS has a curved glass.

It looks like you already have this case. Can you post pictures of it? even empty ones. Is it matte? Or transparent? Also, which SNS model do you have?

Does your Dot View Case close all the way??!

I just got my new Dot Case from VZ, but the bloody thing doesn't close all the way. The front flap is not flush with the screen so its hard to see the notifications. I do have a tempered glass screen on there, but I don't think that is the actual cause of the flap not being flushed. I'm just wondering if I got a lemon?

Tempered glass screen protector off - closes all the way nicely.
Tempered glass screen protector adds just enough thickness to cause the front flap to not close as it increases the height against the hinge for the cover. Bummer
I look at this two ways. Cover of the dot case negates the need for a screen protector....or I can choose a case that the screen protector is able to work with (I did this, having had the dot case and learned the hard way about the fit).

Did you confirm this yourself? I'd hate to remove the the expensive glass protector only to find out that it isn't the reason why the flap doesn't close all the way.
dot view case is the ugliest thing i have ever seen in my life. HTC MAJOR FAIL!
It just looks and feels wrong.

Confirmed only in my situation for the Tempered Glass protector I installed.
I have the nillkin glass protector...only one I can confirm. Dot case closed perfectly without the glass installed. With the glass installed, stayed open and would not fully close.

Thanks....it's the exact same glass I have. Looks like the Dot case is going back.
Same issue here. Glass protector and when the dot view case arrived it won't close because of the protector. Case is ugly anyway so it is going back tomorrow.
If it's anything like the normal flip case it may take a few weeks to break the case in. I had the flip case one the M7, and many complained about this. After a week or two it was just fine.
A brand new dot view case didn't close all the way on my phone (with Verizon screen protector.)
But since the case breaks bluetooth voice dialing, I immediately returned it.
Yea.. after 5 hours of use, I had to return mine as well. I tried extra hard to like it, but I should've listened to the reviews I've read about it hindering one-handed usage. Went back to my Nillikin slim case and all is well again.
Hmm, I also got a dot view and a glass screen protector and am thinking maybe I shouldn't put it on. I need to test out the case for a few days, see how I like it... I didn't care for the Samsung view cover cases, not sure if I'll like this one. The dot view seems to be one of the cases where you either love it or hate it.
Case closing
I can tell you that the first week the case did not close all the way. Now it closes perfectly.
It has to be kind of broken in. I personally love the case.....

Three or four days of use loosened mine so that it closed even with a tempered glass screen protector on it. Do not have any gap when sitting flat now, closes all the way. Give it a few days. Even breaks in for one handed use well. Just takes getting used to like any change. :cyclops:

I just wondered because you said the case broke in after a week.
I'm wondering whether I should purchase the Spigen Glas.tR. which is 0.23mm or should I purchase a 0.15mm screen protector instead.
Does the glass effect the viewing of the case?
Are you having problems with the case with the glass at all?
Thanks!

G2 Flip Cover VS. Regular screen protector

G2 Brothers,
I recently bought a brand new G2, I have no accessories for G2 and I have not tried any yet. I like the G2 Flip Cover a little from watching it on YouTube, but I havent tried it. So maybe someone can help me decide from a few questions:
1) Does the Flip Cover add a lot of weight on the phone and is the phone still comfortable to use with that cover?
2) Would it be more appropriate to just buy a regular screen protector instead? Adds no weight, but does it mess up the screen quality a lot?
3) Any other cover or specific screen protector (there are many models) I should consider for my new G2?
Hope I can get some useful input from those who are experienced G2 users
Thanks in advance.
Regards

btw i don't use a screen protector (at least not yet)
but i can reccomend a Nekeda case (slim, gives better grip, doesn't ruin the sleek G2 design and it costs around 10$ on ebay)

Look Ma! Its @60nine
Appreciate your reply. I'm thinking a flip cover is "better" since it covers both the back and the screen?
Will keep looking, that Nekeda case looks really cool, but how about the flip cover?
Edit: I will drop the flip cover. Too many people say it scratches your display because of the metal. I will buy a screen protector and maybe also a Nekeda case.
Again, any specific screen protector I should go for?

There will be people who tell you to get a glass screen protector and other who won't. I have been told not to get one but that is just from my source. I have a screen protector from xtremeguard. They usually have pretty decent coupons. This screen protector covers everything except a little section by the camera, sensor and ear phone at the top of the phone. I am not sure how the Nekeda case fits. but I have the Spigen Slim Armour and the tech21 impact case, and both of them tend to push the screen protector up and cause some bubbles at the edge, which can be annoying but I just end up trying to push it back down. Hope that helps with your choice. There is a thread on glass screen protectors if you are interested in those.
Hey i'm using original window case with screen protector ..and until the moment 3 months no any scratches only camera glass has one light scratch but it comes from my zip pocket. If you are sick like me and dont wont any scratches i recomend this configuration.

Screen protector?

Hello all,
So I was looking at the nillkin glass screen protector for the mi5s (not plus) and I saw many people complaining that the protector doesn't account for the curve of the glass very well which results in a lip all around the glass. Does anyone know anything about this? Have you had any of these problems? Are you currently using a screen protector which you would recommend? Thank you for your help.
I have tried two screen protectors from geekbuying and can confirm that they just don't fit. On both sides there is some screen sticking out because of its slight curve. It's very distracting when using the phone. I have also seen full covers on aliexpress but comments say it also cuts off some of the screen. So as far as I know currently none of the screen protectors fit perfectly.

Haven't been able to find any yet. The phone is very new so there's still hope.. If anyone has some info it would be greatly appreciated.
Do you know of any phones with a similar screen shape that could fit if modified a little? Maybe the mi5 will fit if we cut out the fingerprint sensor part?
I'm with you. Since a proper glass protector doesn't seems to exist any plastic one should remedy the situation. Xiaomi should include a simple clear screen protector on all devices :/

One has a really curved border (not just a 2.5D border) and the other one has a Carbon Fiber border that bends and sticks to the curved border of the screen.

It's a different type of screen protector, not a full cover, but still nice!
I laso made i mistake and i have bought original Nillkin Amazing H+ PRO 2.5D Tempered Glass... Looks terribly... See my picture in attachment. Edges of glass don't stick to screen well
i agree, looks horrible...
Can someone post some pics of a glass screen protector they get that actually fits correctly? Im not going to buy another one until I see actual real life pics of no halo effects around the side as 99% of the Chinese sellers on aliexpress use fake/altered pics to make things look better than in real life for things like this because they know youll never return it and theyve got your money already even if it is only $10 I do prefer the full glass look without the added fake frame color

Oneplus official silicone case problem

The case attracts a lot of dust whenever I put it in my pocket. I used it for a little bit before the dust problem got really annoying and i bought another tpu case on amazon. Any fixes for the dust problem? I really love the feel of the case and the cutouts are better than the TPU so I want to use it.
Me too facing the same problem, but I have lost that cover. Any idea where to find the official one? It is not available on the website.
hey guys is it true that case is responsible for some negative effect on the matte finish?the matte finish is coming off after using it for around 2-3 weeks?
I've just got the phone this week and I've ordered a ringke onyx case for the phone. I think its best to stay away from the offical case that comes with the phone just to be on the safe side as some users here experienced paint chipping after using the case provided inside the box.
I got the 5t the day it came out and used that stock Silicon case for about 2 months without any sign of paint chipping. It did collect dust like a vacuum. I got 4-5 cases on AliExpress for under $5 each and they too have dust problems. the one I use has a clear plastic back, so I can see it all of the time.
Did drop my phone today and scratched the stock film cover. Pulled it back and it didn't damage the screen, but now I get to research the best film screen, since the last time I researched it, there was no good tempered glass one that didn't have issues

I primarily use this case, and without getting a ruler out, there is about 1/16" on the top of bottom and about 1/32" on the sides with the stock film. (or as much as the coverage past the screen of the stock film)
Ironically, the first link for topace on amazon is a film, not a glass and the glass product has 1 poor review.

The way they did the curved screen on both OP5 Models made nearly all glass screen protectors on the market not very good at fitting. Even the official ones from Oneplus themselves were whack. I tried loads. Best of a bad bunch were the orzly ones, but even those weren't perfect. The phone itself just makes it impossible.

Yes, from what I had read, the orzly and NILLKIN were the best glass, but the edges were the issue.
I used to have some various cheap glass protectors on my S4 and never had the issues people are noting on the various glass protectors for the 5t - reduced touch sensitivity, rainbow effect, hot spots, etc
Honestly, though I have gotten descent at installing screen protectors, I despise putting them on and getting everything perfect, so I am trying to do as much research before hand, so hopefully I only have to do it once.
I got the OnePlus glass when I got the phone, but read the initial reviews and had planned just to keep the stock film on, as it seemed to be doing a good job until I dropped in in the backyard and damaged the film about 1" down and 1" in from the right.

I primarily use this case, and without getting a ruler out, there is about 1/16" on the top of bottom and about 1/32" on the sides with the stock film. (or as much as the coverage past the screen of the stock film)
Ironically, the first link for topace on amazon is a film, not a glass and the glass product has 1 poor review.

Yes, from what I had read, the orzly and NILLKIN were the best glass, but the edges were the issue.
I used to have some various cheap glass protectors on my S4 and never had the issues people are noting on the various glass protectors for the 5t - reduced touch sensitivity, rainbow effect, hot spots, etc
Honestly, though I have gotten descent at installing screen protectors, I despise putting them on and getting everything perfect, so I am trying to do as much research before hand, so hopefully I only have to do it once.
I got the OnePlus glass when I got the phone, but read the initial reviews and had planned just to keep the stock film on, as it seemed to be doing a good job until I dropped in in the backyard and damaged the film about 1" down and 1" in from the right.
Sorry if I have hijacked this topic...

Yes, there's definitely no ideal way to do it. This is why I personally prefer the flat screened phones, as they have none of these issues.
Pity in a way that curved screen phones have become a fad this past year. Last decent looking one that I was tempted to get was the Razer Phone for gaming. (That one's completely flat screen, and generally looked like quite a decent smartphone for alot of other reasons too). It's been out for a while though now, and haven't got round to it yet, but I still might. In the meantime, I'll just struggle on with my OnePlus until it dies (or more likely, 'til my screen breaks!) haha
sorry to hear about you dropping yours though,. that must've been harsh. was it just the film that got damaged, or did any of the actual device's screen underneath get hit?

Yea, about 4ft drop when pushing my kids in the swing to the dirt and debris that settled under the leaves (that I had just moved so they could use the swing for the first time this year.
I was trying to take pictures of them and dropped it
I dug my finger under the corner and peeled back the screen protector past the damage and the screen was clear. It's almost like a rock dug up the surface of the film

Phew! That was close! (it's always a bit unsettling when you see the cracks in a screen protector). With protectors also being transparent, at first it often looks like it's gone right through to the actual screen, until the moment of truth when you remove it afterwards.. (I've had a few scares like that in my time! So I feel ya!) But is a satisfying feeling of relief when you pull the protector off and everything looks good as new underneath.
Anyways, glad you got lucky that time aswell! So far so good!
after 2 months my phone is completely ruined by this case. I should have changed the case earlier.
