Are UAG cases screen protector friendly?

Wanted to know this before I order a UAG. I had the note 7 and THE UAG case would pull up all screen protectors. Hopefully they changed things up for the note 8.

i preordered the uag monarch for the note 8 and i think they are screen protector friendly.
atleast for the s8+ they said so on amazon and also alot of youtube videos proofed this. so i think it will be the same for the note 8.
it all depends on how case friendly the protectors really are.
for example the whitestone dome should work fine with uag cases. no test yet for the note 8 but they did on the s8+

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.

Any gimbal that will fit Samsung Note 8 in a case?

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?

Which Tech21 case do you use? I am guessing my case is probaby too thick to fit properly... I have the zizo bolt case

Case suggestion?

I'm not seeing case availability on Amazon from some of the big case manufacturers. Anyone have suggestions for a decent case? (typically I buy a Spigen case for my devices)

It's a very new device to the market, but there are several eBay sellers offering various options.
You'll have to be persistent, though. Took me several sellers before I found an available
color/design that I liked. Plenty of camo/bling/pink/neon, with blacks and greys sold out.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised I was able to grab 9H-hardness glass protectors for our devices
so shortly after the device came to market.

when you get a case keep in mind there are three version and they are not interchangeable.
Samsung A71 (non 5g)
Samsung A71 5G (non Verizon) buttons are in different place
Samsung A71 UW (Verizon MM Wave 5g perhaps a thicker phone

Nothing on Amazon sparked my interest so I went with this one. It should be arriving next week. I only have one CoverOn brand case for my LG V60 and have been happy with that one. Decided to give this one a try. I'll post some pics when I get it and if I remember.
https://coveroncase.com/products/sa...-cover-eos-series?_pos=4&_sid=bcf1c334b&_ss=r

The case comes into two pieces. A frame for the phone that then goes into the outer shell. I had a tempered glass screen protector that ended up cracking cause it was a tight fit. CoverOn does sell a tempered glass screen protector, but I don't know if it fits with this case. I would assume it does. The backing also gets "stuck" to the phone inside the case sometimes so it doesn't look as clean.

Update: I ended up getting this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0882QZ4QS
It's pretty much a TPU Spigen clone / ripoff, but the quality seems alright and fits the style that I like.
It also came with a screen protector, but that was absolute garbage (not tempered glass, but just crap plastic with horrible resistance to finger swipes), and I removed it after maybe 30 seconds.

Just adding to the list of cases available:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/113781571976
Just a BTW, it'll take about a month for it to arrive.

Cheap case that will probably turn yellow in a few but for 4 bucks can't go wrong, fell of my lap getting out the car and bounced off the corner which is thick. .. Got the sopiguard skin a71 ( it's a lil bit short but still fit good).. Definitely digging the finish look

Thanks for the tip, I ordered one too!
So what tempered screen protectors are people ordering?

I got a 3-pack from Amazon, branded GESMA for 10 bucks. It actually fits my wife's phone a little better than mine.

I bought this for my a71 5g:

I seen this on Amazon, probably gonna give it a go since there isn't much out yet. It's from Poetic.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CTNRJBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_EpbrFbMX2MWG7

So apologies if I am in the wrong place. I know this forum is for the A71 5G, but unable to find one for the UW variant. Has anyone been able to find a decent case for the A71 5G UW?

I love very slim cases, so I bought the Kqimi Case for Samsung Galaxy A71 5G, Matte Slim, at Amazon - and love it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CDNQ39J
Slim, yet it protects the corners and the screen. Has a lip around the camera bump, and it allowed me to put a metal plate between the phone and case for my magnetic car mount. Does everything I want it to.

I, too, am looking for a case for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy A71 5G UW variant. So far most of the A71 cases say they are "[NOT for Verizon A71 5G UW]".
If anyone finds one, please post. Thanks!

I ended up buying this one. Reading the description, it states that it is only for the 5G UW, but other points were contradicting to this. I took the chance and honestly, I think it was made for the regular 5G. However, it fits over the phone like a glove and even though the buttons do not line up perfect (this being why I think it is for the regular 5G), I have yet to have any bad response from pressing the case buttons for what I want the phone to do. Wasn't a bad buy, only ~$10 for a case I wasn't sure if it would work right or not. Seems so far so good after 3 days of use.

Here is what I found so far for the Verizon UW version of this phone:
1a) Speck - Some reviews say it may be a little slippery.
Presidio ExoTech Samsung Galaxy A71 5G UW (Verizon Compatible Only)
$29.95
There may be a discount with coupon code: COMEBACK25. There may be a discount if one subscribes to an email list. Not sure.
https://www.speckproducts.com/samsu...samsung-a71-5g-uw-cases/SGA71S5G-PR-EXO.html#
1b) May be the same as above, but direct from Verizon:
Speck Presidio Exotech Case for Galaxy A71 5G UV
$29.99
https://www.verizon.com/products/sp...444138d67511ea80cf00ca0a24060f#reviewsHeading
2) Incipio - Looks also slippery. Temporarily sold out when I checked.
DualPro for Samsung Galaxy A71 5G UW (Verizon Compatible Only)
SOLD OUT
https://incipio.com/products/dualpro-for-samsung-galaxy-a71-5g-uw-verizon-compatible-only
3) I think this will fit the phone: Its on Amazon, cheap, might work till a better option comes along. Seems to have more than one color choice. Probably not a great case, but who knows.
Gesma for Samsung Galaxy A71 5G Case, Scratch Resistant & Anti Slip Grippy Soft TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy A71 5G/A71 5G SM-A716 Phone(NOT Fit with A71 4G SM-A715F/DS) (Elegant Navy)

Hope this is helpful!

UPDATE: This case feels good, I mean really good. And it comes in 3 or 4 colors and it brings 2 screen covers, one with a screen protector attached and one without for those who already have a screen protector installed....

Yeah, I saw your input a while ago, but you do understand we're talking about the A71 5G, right?
It's on T-Mobile and Sprint in the US, and maybe other regions.
Sprint doesn't offer the A71(Non-5g).
Non-Verizon variants aren't this A71 we're discussing.
A71 UW is a different model, and not inclusive to the discussions here, I believe.
I suppose we're starting to see the need for various sub-forums about this phone's iterations.

I was pretty clear as to the three models and listed them. There are big differences between them. Perhaps there should be aaw against similar phones having similar model numbers and names.

Question S8/S8+ accessories

I got my S8+ yesterday and it's one of the thinnest tablets I've held, which makes it feel very fragile. My old iPad Pro 11" M1 felt much tougher but this is a much nicer device.
I read that S7/S7+ is basically the same dimensions/design and I haven't found any good accessories for S8+, curious can I use Spigen Tough Armor Pro for S7+?

S8 for me, as I want to keep it light & portable. (do still owns a S7+ though, which I used Poetic for its case)
I'm in the case market for my soon to arrive S8 also. Brands that I'm currently considering are Poetic / Spigen / UAG.
Hope you find the one that suites your need best there.

I had case for S7. After receiving S8 I found that old case was perfectly fitted S8, so I assume S8+ will do the same, but cannot guarantee it

Ordered a tab s7 case on off chance cheap and can confirm it fits on tab s8 perfect. Will do nicely till I get the pre-order bonus keyboard case.

On Spigen's website, they lump the S7/S8 and S7+/S8+ cases together - https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-tab-s-series. The frame / size didn't change, so I'd imagine any S7+ case would fit an S8+

I can confirm 7+ case from spigen works with 8+
