best slim case with grip (specialy on the sides)

Besides speck which looks not too slim are there any others? I'm using bodyglove on my S7 edge which has been great but not a available for the note 8?

I got an Incipio clear slim case that isn't terrible. It's pretty low profile, has good grip on the sides, and is supposed to protect against drops from 6ft. Case was only $20 at Best Buy. It's such a good looking phone, I couldn't bring myself to put an Otter Box on it.
Picture of the box attached... ignore the mess in my car.

I am waiting for this to be released from Melkco. I have one for the Note FE and is very thin.

Best Thin Cases

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 !!

Note 8 case with loop for hand strap/lanyard?

Besides a wallet/folio style case, and ringke cases, does anyone know of any other brands/models of cases for note 8 to fit a hand strap/lanyard?

My wife is using this one on hers. It seems to fit her Spigen Neo Hybrid case just fine. She has it where it covers up the fingerprint sensor.

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.

Monarch case by UAG is doing good for me, not as thick as otter box, but has taken some waist high falls with no trouble so far.

Monarch

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?
