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.
Hey Guys, I have been waiting for this Case to arrive! I have always had my UAG cases as my goto cases for my phones. But as many of you on the forum, I switch cases often. It really depends on what I am doing or where I am going. UAG just started shipping these out. I got the ICE version. It features slim design, light weight and great protection for your phone.. It doesn't bunch up the screen protector either. I don't have a glass version to test but I will report back once my ICAREZ comes in. For now my Supershieldz is holding up nicely. No lifting at all. But I have the dents the film gets.
Here is my review of the product
My favorite cases at this time are the Spigen (Kickstand), Supcase Unicorn beetle, and the UAG.

Each to their own but it's far too bulky and ugly for me. No point in having a phone that looks as fantastic as this if you're going to change it to something from a 1960s Star Trek episode.
Nice in depth review though.
Really love u uags cases, protected my phone from 4 meters drop! (and of course smaller heights).
It's main disadvantages are it's price (including shipping to my country) and the plastic screws at the back are annoying in my hand.

Can't wait for nine to come in. Shipped from UAG direct in Japan.
I love them. The design on the back provides nice grooves for your fingers to rest in for one handed use.
And maybe it's the military in me, but the tactical look is bad ass. I get complimented all the time with my note 4 and lg v10.

I don't know why you guys are waiting for it. I got mine 3 days ago a small cellphone accessory device. 48$ Canadian. But it doesn't come with a glass protector. I don't thing I will need one since the case itself provide a wide protection for the front panel. I really like it so far.
Can you guys post some pictures of how these translucent ICE cases look after being on the edge for months? I am looking to upgrade my S4 (with black UAG case) to S7edge, and really don't like these translucent ICE cases. I wish UAG would make a black case for S7edge (just for me if not every one else ). I don't like the look when you can see through the case, distorted print/logos on the phone is visible. Also worried about how much crud accumulates under the case and is visible. Also with these translucent cases, there is no second layer of soft rubber protecting the whole phone, just on the corners I think.
Also, how well has the UAG protected your S7edge after many months of use? Better than "Supcase Unicorn Beetle", it seems to be next closest to this "tactical style" that UAG came up with.... and they have black
Thanks in advance!!!!

Have a look overhere:
Case reviews including official Samsung, tech 21, spigen, VRS, Otterbox and loads mor
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and their Thin Fit case, the Neo Hybrid is definitely the best case that I have seen, just don't get it in the clear version since it yellows over time, especially with wireless charging use.
I have spent so much money on cases, I bought a Piel Frama's SlimFrama case, a Noreve case, couple of Spiegen cases, and none I enjoyed using. So now up using my S7E without a case.

I bought my dad the Spigen Tough Armor case and it really does not like screen protectors. It constantly pushes it out because of how tight it is to the case.
The other, I have not much clue but I think I would recommend the Ghostek 2.0 because it does offer screen protection as well as a layer of protection to the Home Button. The home button gets scratches, which is a faulty Samsung thing. :\

Agreed. It's the only case I've tried that helps with accidental touches of the edge display during typing. It's also the only case that has tall enough side bevels that actually protect the display (with no lost functionality). Most other cases for whatever reason keep them way too low for no reason other than questionable aesthetics.
I've got the neo hybrid from spigen and I'm happy with it. It works with their screen protectors and also the BSE case fit screen protector skin.
Samsung clear cover the one that covers the back only not the flip scratch case

I got the tough armor a few days ago an its perfect. Feels great while holding and goves better grip. The neo seems slimmer but if u want good protection for accidental drops and a kickstand i recommend it.
Note the kickstand seems a bick thin and might brake easily i think but i do with out it if it ever does.
Spigen Thin Fit = the sexiest, lowest protection
Incipio & caseology = decent protection , medium bulk
UAG = max protection , max bulk & thick as a brick
Check here
I really recommend the PureGear Dualtek Pro. It's a great, safe and beautiful case.
ewww
For me it's like a crime to smash that ugly case to a such beautiful device, but if I would buy a case, it would buy just something thin so it's barely visible on the phone but protects it a bit at the same time.
Just my opinion though.
I got the Speck Dark Case for the Onyx s7 edge. Looks fantastic.
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro is fantastic

The phone is beautiful, but all that glass...
I always keep cases and screen protectors on my phones. I am too paranoid not to.
Most likely not. I want to keep the phone as thin and compact as possible, not have sharp edges when holding it (usually on the sides or the charging/speaker cutouts), it really ruins the look and feel of the phone, and after some use the cases and screen protectors get all scratched up since it's plastic.
I'm using an otterbox on mine simply because I'm forever dropping my phone at work and don't want to damage the phone.
Yes, glass screen protector, DBrand dragon skin and clear tpu case

already have my case and screen protectors. I have a deep sea blue spigen tough armor case, a clear spigen case and when the prices drop a little I will get an otter box commuter. still waiting on Samsung to ship my note 8......ridiculous IMO
Had to rush to get a case, didn't expect to get the phone early. Spigen thin case here and that's it for protection.

Accidents happen so a case it will be
yes but no.
I use the Rhinoshield crash guard. Its a bumper so the front and rear are open. But they test there crash guard @ 11 ft drops.
I have one on my s8 plus and its great. And see tons of drop videos from high drop and the phone works.
So im going to stick with that.
I do like the feel of a casless phone and that is the closest i can get to it. Rather have something and not need it then need it and not have it.
I see some of you guys have a screen saver!!!
When did any brand manage to make a screen saver that worked on any Galaxy edge device? I have owned the lot and tried dozens of panzer glass, plastic, part fitting, glued and goodness knows what and have never found a satisfactory screen saver for a device with that bloomin curved edge.
To that end I always use a case then keep it in a shocksock or a wallet type case that is most annoying to use but offers all around protection. I have even paid nearly 60.00€ for the official Samsung LED cover on several of my mobiles because I can't find a screen saver. Helppppp.
Please tell me what screen saver you have found. I would be very much obliged. Thanks.

I'm using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and a Spigen Neo Flex screen protector. I like the Neo Hybrid cases because they don't add much bulk and have been great for protection, even minor drops on my previous phones.
Check This One Out
Since my S8+ been using cases. Just ordered this one on Ebay.

I got 2 (probably only will keep one):
Ringke Onyx ($4)
Caseology Vault ($5)
Both TPU, which is my preference. I love the corner coverage for little bumps and falls. I have never had issues with breaking phones so it's just a little peace of mind for me.
I always get the Samsung clear case, they're nice and thin and fit will, providing some protection.
@ Ryland Johnson, try this. I have one on my s8+ and its great.

I will put a full body wet install protector film, then I will use a thin, very thin case, and on certain ocasions, an urban armor ash color, magma series case
Yes
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.

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 !!
