Yup, I've been using an Otterbox Commuter with a Whitestone Dome since I bought the phone. It's been great and has protected my phone from a few drops so far.

Less than the otter I like it, feels strong
Imo if you want a strong case to protect your phone, but not have that "ugly" look to it...
Go for patchworks, it's what I'm using right now I love the design, and it's up to military grade standard
I dropped my phone (by accident) from above my head onto concrete (completely **** myself xD) and no problems
Not sure if the Whitestone dome would fit on it though, if someone knows let me know please

The button protrusions on the inner rubber shell fit like they should. The flaps for the charging port, etc. tuck in nice and evenly into the outer hard case.

I had an Otterbox Commuter on my phone for a few months. I picked up a Patchworks case for a few bucks and have kept it on. It's thinner and feels much better in my hand. I've also dropped my phone more times than I can count and haven't had a single issue with my phone. The few times I dropped my phone with the Commuter my glass screen protector came off.

Which glass was it that came off? My whitestone is still on tight with no lifting after a few drops in the Commuter, but some glass/case combos are definitely compatible than others of course.
I have a Zagg glass protector. I never tried the Whitestone. Zagg upgraded me to the newer Elite Curve and it's been pretty good.
I've gone through a lot of cases, but my favorite has been the Speck Presidio Grip. No other case has as good of grip while still having decent protection and it doesn't add much bulk.
Been using the Spigen Tough Armor on my Note 8 since I got it. The only problem I had was finding tempered glass screen protector for it that had 100% screen adhirsion.
Caseology Legion, looks good and is a bit more rugged, great drop protection (tested by accident )
Best case for me has been the dbrand Grip!! Amazing protection for such a tiny size. Second most used is a UAG Monarch when I am roughing it up at work. Finally the Alcantara Samsung case, just cause I like the feel and look of it

Wish the dbrand grip cases were available for purchase now.....

The Best case I have used is Rhinoshield. It doesn't cover up the whole phone and gives good protection. I have dropped my Phone many times landed on sides and safe.
I actually use the all black version of this one HERE. It's very inexpensive, very strong and really well made. I had the exact same case for my Note 5 and it never got a scratch on it. The case looks even better on the Note 8.

Question
I am interested in buying this case but I don't like cases that stick to my pocket while pulling them out. Does this matte case have any problems?
I notice that there is a line/indentation around the back of the case - does this trap dirt/lint? I am wondering why they placed it there in the first place.
Thanks.

It goes in and out of my jeans pockets with no issues. If you wear skinny jeans, then I can't help you. It is remarkable to me how little dirt/lint stick to this thing. It is made of hard but flexible rubber, I haven't found anything sticking to it. Keep in mind, its a barely bigger than the phone and it does push up my screen protector in the lower left hand corner. My Spigen case didn't do that, but it made the phone feel huge to me.
Thanks!
Thanks for the info. What kind of screen protector do you have? I have purchased Invisible Defender (screen protector) and diztronic case. Hopefully they wont cause huge problems.

It's just a cheap clear one from Amazon. This case really hugs the screen, it adds almost no width at all. Its not really noticeable unless I look for it, I wouldn't think you'll have huge problems.

Spigen cases always seem to add unnecessary bulk, especially width to phones with their cases. And their colored plastic backs scratch and swirl like crazy.
They are extremely overrated and overpriced imo.

Got a link and pictures?
Can someone test something out on this case for me?
Are you able to stick 1 Credit Card and 1 photo ID on the inside of the back of the case? Will the case stay on and clip to the phone?
I am doing just that on my current phones case and would like to know what cases I can replicate this on.
Thanks in advance!

I'm using the black one for at&t and it has the correct mic hole openings and all. The op's pics didn't show the at&t version. Just an fyi.
Amazon just emailed me, my Verizon Diztronic Matte TPU case just shipped. Should be here by this Saturday or next Monday.
That lip on the back seems like a weird design choice... i have loved diztronic cases in the past, so I'm sure i'll order this.

Got one for my and the wifes phone....she prefers my Ballistic case (go figure) but the Diztronic is excellent and not bulky.
I might try the Incipio DualPro to see how it compares to the Ballistic.

For everyone wanting to get a screen protector that fits with this case, the Supershieldz screen protector from Amazon doesn't get in the way of the case if installed well (AT&T version).

Not sure if you like the silicone cases, but I've had the Verizon "High Gloss Silicone Cover" that has protected my phone for the past ~1.5 years. I didn't have the case originally, and when the phone was 3 days new, i dropped it 1.5 feet and it cracked the screen. After I got a new one and this case, it has protected it from dozens of drops and makes the phone barely thicker.

Meanwhile I have the spigen armour case on and it pretty much protects my phone from any kind of fall, for example I work in construction and was working on a 5 floor apartment.... I was on the roof and tried to take my phone out of my pocket and next thing you know it, it slipped from my hand and fell all the way down to the pavement. Luckily I had this case on and viola like nothing happened my phone was protected and worki g like a charm. But anyways I'm looking for a case that has 3 buttons on the back to cover the 3 buttons on the back like in the picture. Thanx anyways for your suggestion

Setting that you're in construction I definitely suggest the defender case. You can pop out the screen protector and out on a super thin one it even a super thin glass protector and it'll maintain rigidity.
Spigen + tempered glass
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart
I recommend the Trident Cyclops case - it comes with a built in screen protector, but that can be easily removed. I am using a tempered glass screen protector with the Cyclops. It does not have buttons for the back, but it is hugely protective. Check out the videos on youtube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAE9MiOPN80
And I finally found the case I've been looking for for so long! Here it is fully covered case with buttons on aliexpress

What's the difference to the Ballistic Urbanite or MAXX? I don't think quality could be any better.
Bought Nillkin frosted shield for 10 euros (comes with a screen protector). Had the same one for my old Nexus 4 but it was in white and got dirty. Quality is great otherwise, feels good in hand.
Mine is the black one on a white G2.
Spigen + tempered glass = INDESTRUCCTIBLE!!
Just bought the Otterbox Defender. Popped out the built-in screen protector and applied a my own. Great case!
GOTTA have a kickstand case, but all the ones I find seem gawdy and bulky, but I Saw this case and was like I have to have it. but everywhere I looked it was Out of Stock. Spent 4 days looking, and I eventually found it on Amazon Prime for 16.99 vice 39.99 on Spigen Site. The buttons on this thing look awesome, and it doesn't seem to add much bulk o the device.
I've got this case. Love it. Can't charge wirelessly with any reliability though. Have to pop off the case, but not a big deal for me.

I had this case on the LG V20, good case. However, I find that most cases somehow always get bits of sand between the phone and the case, so on my LG, I applied a skin to the back of the phone first, then the case.
I took the case off just now, to clean up the phone to ship back to Samsung expecting my Note 8 today, and there wasn't really any sand to speak of between the case and the phone. Excellent case. I have dropped my phone a few times, and broke the glass screen protector, but the case took the falls like a champ.

I have yet to experience wireless charging issues using this case on the Note 8.
I have this case, and a host of others. It's thin, works fine for wireless charging for me. My only issue is that it feels uncomfortable. I wish they would have put a more rubberized coating on the edges. Although I loved the look and the kick stand, I went with a different case that made it more comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

Plastic kickstand. No thanks.
I used one of these cases on my Note5. Held up for over 1.5 years and totally saved the phone from quite a few falls.
Never had a problem with the kickstand breaking, despite its plastic construction.
I'd recommend it if you aren't QI charging. It does have issues with that unless you take it out of your case.
I love the Spigen cases. The Tough Armor and Rugged Armor cases are now standard purchases for any new phone. They also work with wireless charging. I can't recommend Spigen enough.
I've been using the spigen liquid armor. Great balance of protection and grip but still thin. Great price and wireless charging works.

Same here. I fast charge through the case worth ease. I'm using the Choetech Fast charger w/ fan. Works perfectly.
Got mine Friday. Great case, not bulky at all. Kickstand just fine for what I need and wireless charging works great with my Samsung wireless charger.

Hi, could someone that has this case could take a picture of the phone face down to check the separation from the surface to the screen? almost none of the cases have this picture,
I really would like to know how separated is the screen from the table once is face down,
The bigger the space, better for a face down drop.
Thank you.

I'm surprised you say that, I am using mine daily and have no issues on the stock Samsung wireless charger, and a few choetech.
I bought this case (gunmetal colour) 2 weeks before the phones release. I love this case and had the equivilent case on ym Note 4 (took several falls at varying heights and my Note 4 still works like day 1) and ordered it for my short-lived Note 7. Spigen cases are easily my favorites but this is Spigen's best case (IMO). Doesn't add a lot of bulk, buttons feel great and work well, kickstand is nice, feels great. Haven't tried with wireless charging yet (still waiting for Samsung to ship my pre-order gifts) but seems to work by other comments above so hopefully it holds true.

I bought this case but subsequently had to return it as it wouldn't work with the Whitestone Dome screen protector which on a side note is the best thing since sliced bread.
If you are looking for a virtually identical case with better screen protector compatibility try the Caseology Legion.

Note 8 face down:
Ordered this case for both my S8+ (black) and iPhone 7+ (red). They looked great initially, but after a couple weeks looked like trash. They were scratched up, scuffed up, etc. All they really did during that time was either sit on my desk at work or sit on the counter at home (I dont use the iphone at home at all as its a work phone). I traded the S8+ for the Note8, and no longer use the one on my Iphone. I tried to reach out to Spigen and they did not want to help. Very poor customer service. I found that unfortunate as they are great looking cases when you take them out of the box.

Just got mine and I don't rly trust the seller he says this is OEM case but case covers the edges and that's a little strange to me. Anyone having this case can confirm that Liquid Air covers the Note 8 edges?
I always get my Spigen cases on Amazon . Never got a counterfeit.
Only have it for my S8+ and it's a perfect fit. Like it better than any of the five cases I've tried for my Note 8. Would think it would be a similar fit for the Note 8.

Maybe because Note 8 have smaller edges it's different. I like the feel of the case but thinking of getting the UAG plasma ash. I used UAG for ages and liked them, but wanted smth slimmer. Only TPU looks not so protective, but if you drop it it's all luck unless you use some hardcore case... Would like to see some drop tests of Note 8 with some main cases but still nothing good at YouTube ?

I don't mean the S8+ case should fit the Note 8. I mean it's a nice fitting case for the S8+ so I would imagine the one for the Note 8 would be nice as well...
And many of the cases now build air gaps into the corners so even if a case is thin, it still has resistance and space to travel thus reducing the amount of force transmitted to the phone.

I wasn't a huge fan of this case. It looked great but was slippery. So I guess it depends on what you are looking for. I really like the liquid crystal case from Spigen. I prefer black but in only comes in clear.
Does anyone else have a little nobble bit near the headphone jack? It right where I hold it and is pretty sharp feeling, shame as it's a nice case. Also is anyone using the whitestone dome with this? I've seen that it may no be compatible?
Was using the Samsung OEM silicone case but wanted something that was just as slim but also covered the camera glass because it's so big and pops out. Found this $9 case on Amazon. It has front raised lips for drop protection (minimal) and is actually even slimmer than the Samsung case so it feels like it's barely there. Unblock glossy TPU, it is matte black which I also prefer. I have a video of it here next to the official Samsung one: https://youtu.be/fMflVeSzkwU
I just ordered one...I'll let you know how I like it on Wednesday
Looks good. Wish it came with more color options though..
Good luck with the 3rd mic working properly in that case, though.

Not all. I have the ESR Tough Alliance, the Ringke X Fusion and Ringke Air-S. The Ringke cases have some 2mm of space between the camera bump. These cases do not cover the mic. The ESR cases are particularly better for its slanted sides on the camera mic side. It captures audio from the slanted side more effectively.
The Moment thin case is very nice and I think it is what you are looking for. I have it along with several Spigen cases.

You can download the user guide. It's there on page 12.
I went with a case with a sliding cover. By my standards I find the case pretty thin, but I typically go with really rugged cases, so my case thickness standards may differ from yours.

Hey thanks a lot for posting info on this case. Got mine today. Now you can hold device without the worry of fingerprints on camera..thanks again.

3rd mike useless outside of "scumbag" mode!
BUT! The camera glass shouldn't be covered like that.
Just as you should never put a runner over carpet!
Over time when you think you are protecting what's underneath you will find you're doing far more damage.
Why? Dirt gets underneath and will abrade the hell out of the glass.
I'll take my chances, sorry.
Ditto for screen. Can't stand having protectors over screens, ESPECIALLY curved screens. And too, they literally wreck the FP reader action.
JMHO, of course.

I like the case, but am wondering is there a good holster in which this case fits?

I ordered the version of this case with the built in ring stand on the back. Not only are you totally right about the danger of the camera glass getting scratched, but the entire case had no interior protection material to keep grit or dust from scuffing up the phone itself over time. It also didn't fit snug enough to make this issue moot. Immediately returned....
I ordered the LATERCASE its thin but still covers the camera Bump, has been shipped and my note 20 ultra won`t be delivered until the 19th so we`ll see how it goes.

I received my latercase a few days ago and really like it. Its the thinnest most minimalistic case you can get imo with camera bump protection..

To me, that's the best cover. Where else can be purchased?

Aliexpress for a cheaper price. Be ready for a long delivery period though of at least a month if not more.
