Bumping one more time because they are on sale today. Will it work ok with a TG screen protector?

Sorry I can't help you with your question. But that's a good price for the case just can't believe they don't do it in white. Thanks for the link

Hope someone chimes in as well, that's a good price.

Well don't know if this helps but my last experience with seido surface for the GS4 was pretty bad after a month use the rubberized paint on it started wearing off and Seido refused to do anything about it. I used to always get their holsters for my HTC phones and had no issues. 1st case I had an issue with they refused to do anything about it and I paid $50 direct from seido also. I would not buy another seido product. But that's just me. The price is nice though I just would not expect it to last more than a month without the finish pealing off.
I read here that it wouldn't work with a TG unless it was a really thin TG. Not sure if true or not.
I was the user that had the issue. I do not recommend it. I had the SPIGEN GLAS.tr. It pushed the screen protector down almost making a cracking sound, to which i saw air bubbles form. The bubbles went away after I put it on with a decent amount of force. This stupid case is not meant to work with a good screen protector because it hugs the phone too tight. I guess that was the purpose of their design. The biggest issue was taking it off. People without screen protectors on Amazon complain about how hard it is to take off without a screen protector. Now, with one, it's IMPOSSIBLE. I cannot explain to you enough how IMPOSSIBLE it is (NOTE: I'm a strong enough guy 180 lbs 6 feet tall athletic build. I open and lift things easily without issue when it comes to impossible soda bottles or things that get stuck in the house). I ruined my silver bezel edge with a tiny scuff due to this stupid case as I tried for 30 minutes to get it off. It just would not come off. So I was like screw it. I ended up just pulling the area where both pieces connect and yanking it to the side while digging (damaging my nail) to have them disconnect and send the bottom piece flying. Luckily, there was no damage to the case so I was able to get my money back and full refund on Amazon. However, the silver plastic top bezel had a tiny scuff, which really annoyed me because I'm OCD like that and keep my phones and other tech flawless with protective cases/screen protectors; I keep my items in NEW/MINT condition if I ever want to sell something. Also, I don't mind buying the casing to replace the bezel, which I did for my Note 2 when it fell on concrete with a case that did not protect the top or bottom (like SPIGEN Ultra-fit). However, with the Note 3, they have the Silver Plastic glued to the screen LCD portion instead of the backside like the Note 2. So that means instead of 15 bucks you have to spend $200+ to replace it. NOT WORTH IT.
This was just way too difficult. Save yourself the trouble if you really want to protect your phone and your screen. You're better off with a UAG or something similar. I use the SPIGEN Bounce and it works very well with the GLAS.tr.
@opasha Do you have the holster for the Surface case, and do you have any other cases? I'm curious how well other cases fit in both the Surface holster and Dilex holster. Can't decide if I'm gonna buy one of those holsters, or the holster for the naked phone.

Sorry bro, I never really use holsters. My dad does. He has a UAG case for his S3 and the DILEX and SURFACE were too small. However, the CONVERT holster fit perfect for him. I have a BOUNCE case and I'm sure the DILEX holster would work for that. I'm pretty sure for anything to fit in a SURFACE holster, you would need to have a very bare minimum case like SPIGEN ULTRA-FIT or something along those lines...if that.

That's cool, I appreciate it anyway! I thought I'd read before that the Bounce case fit in the Surface holster, but want to be sure before I make the purchase. I would imagine it will, as the Bounce and Surface cases are pretty similar in size. I'm afraid that the Dilex holster will be too big, and not hold the Bounce(or a similar sized TPU case) very tight.

Yeah, I feel you. The Bounce does feel very similar if not a little thinner than the Surface. It actually might fit.
Got my Surface today! I love it. It's exactly what I hoped. The only problem, which is a big one by the way, it's not compatible with my 9H Iloome. The protector started to bubble on one of the corners. It was so tight that I wasn't sure that I could get it on and it also wouldn't snap closed. If you take the battery cover off, it fits just fine. But I'm not sure that I want to use it like that. I may buy a thinner TG screen protector, like the iloome flex, but I'd hate to throw away the $25 that I spent on the 9H.
Hey there I figured this might be of some use to anybody wanting the ultimate "ruggedized" protection for their Note 3.
It is well-known that the added thickness of some tempered glass screen protectors will prevent some of the most rugged cases from being used (as is the case with Otterboxes apparently). So, should you be stuck with a cheap TPU case while having the best protection for your screen??! No!
The usual rule of thumb dictates that any case with hard plastic parts that snap together (front and back) will not work, alas if it covers too much of the phone's face. It cannot flex so it cannot clip closed. Futhermore, if it DOES close, it might put a lot of pressure on the phone or protector, as well as potentially make your protector lift. We don't want that.
There are, however, 2 rugged cases that you can use with glass protectors. I did the tests with a MIME USA Ghost glass (0.32mm thickness) so any protector of equal or inferior thickness will work.
1: Ballistic SG MAXX
2: Trident Case Kraken AMS
With Ballistic's case I'm pretty sure one would be able to fit one of the thicker protectors such as the regular Spigen (0.4mm), as you only have rubber corners going over the screen.
Hope this can help.
Sent from my SM900W8 Note 3 using xda-devs app. And my fingers.
Does a ruggedized case really give you that much extra protection or is it placebo effect? I've dropped my phone a bunch of times onto either my tile floor or garage asphalt/sidewalk and never had problems with screen or body damage- all without a "ballistic" type of case. In fact all I do is put a tempered glass protector on it and a bumper around the edges- because when you drop your device, it's usually those areas that are the vulnerable points.
Other than protecting the edges and front glass, why make a device thicker than it needs to be with a $50 case if the back cover itself is $5-$10 to replace?
First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it
If you're interested this is the link where I got it on Amazon

Here is the slimmest case I have ever seen:

I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH1PWX9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and really like it. It is slim enough for me and has great phone protection.
I've ordered this one. Clear and thin.
https://www.amazon.com/Trianium-Res...d=1493470061&sr=1-1&keywords=trianium+s8+case
Got this one today and it is sweet. Super thin and I like that it covers the buttons.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/232311855985
the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.
I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case
Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

Can you guys please suggest any case which won't mess up the protector? The thickness of the case don't matter as I just need it for the grip.

I literally just went to Walmart and got the 2 layer and also the 1 layer protection case from bodyglove. For just that reason. Protect the sides and back but don't mess up my protector. It leaves a slight gap between the screen protector and the case so it will never mess it up. Perfect for me. And wireless charging still works. The cases are cheap and do exactly what I want.

I could but it's my only way to take pics so not with the phone in it which defeats the purpose lol. I'll see if I can take pics tomorrow with someone else's phone and text them to myself. If you go to Walmarts website and search for s7 cases or s7 bodyglove cases it's probably the 2 cheapest ones they sell haha. They are super thin and like silicone. Perfect for me. I'll try to get pics with the phone in the case tomorrow.

Unfortunately Walmart in my area is not selling the same. But if I get the photos I can ask the sellers on eBay to arrange a case like that for me. Will wait for the photos. I tried a case last night also and it was crap. The cases that they have for the s7 edge in which the sides don't have any case protection just the lower and upper part of the phone, I am eyeing that for the s7.

I use the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle - it is a combination grip-case and snap-in holder (the case snaps into the holder, which clips on). The audio and power jacks have covers, but they can be uncovered to access those jacks - that means that the cover can be left on. The sides are neoprene, and the back and holder are hard plastic (all in basic black). $12.99 USD @ Amazon.

Agam it is good considering there is no tempered glass alternative but one thing I would like to suggest you my brother please do not go for any kind of cover from the market because I have tried like millions of them and every cover will eventually mess up your screen protector and the strips on the sides. Bottomline do not use any cover if you are using gadgetshieldz protector.

Agam it is good considering there is no tempered glass alternative but one thing I would like to suggest you my brother please do not go for any kind of cover from the market because I have tried like millions of them and every cover will eventually mess up your screen protector and the strips on the sides. Bottomline do not use any cover if you are using gadgetshieldz protector.

Oh I was worried about that, I think you should install a skin at the back. Like a leather or sandstone one.
If you find a good tempered glass for s7 in india, do mention it. Since Samsung had the offer of 1 yr screen replacement, I'm braving it without any screenguard right now.

I have installed the complete set of Gadgetshieldz which covers the phone 360 degrees. There is no tempered glass for these curved/fully curved phones, period. I would suggest you to install GS protector. It will be better than having no protector at all.

I'm thinking of getting one. How is it holding up for you? specifically are the rubber strips coming off? or the gloss plastic prone to scratches?

After 3-4 months of use, the rubber is still perfect. Since I live in the Arizona desert, there's sand everywhere, so there are many tiny scratches on the rear glossy plastic. If you're not in an area where literally everything is coated in a fine, abrasive sand, I have a feeling the plastic would probably show considerably less wear with normal usage. All in all, I've been very satisfied with the Candyshell. For a $7 clearance item I found at Walmart, I think I got a steal.
I just got my 6T last month for my birthday. Great phone.Used the stock case for a couple for about 3 weeks and decided to get the Spigen Tough Armor. It seems like the case hurts my hand..? Since it's a little wider?Is it just me or is anyone else with the case experiencing this? What other cases can you guys recommend?I'm going to go back to the case the phone came with tonight.
Nope that is the case for this case. Because of the weight it presses down against your finger that naturally rests by the charging port and strains it. I have the case but only use it when I need it.

Spigen Liquid Air is really nice. It's not bulky/heavy and it provides pretty decent protection
can confirm that cases like spigen tough armor can hurt your hand specifically the thumb part due to weight, I remove my case whenever I use it while in bed, I also installed a skin on my 6T to avoid scratching the glass when going naked, I recommend this one from aliexpress:

i second that. I ditched my OEM cases the second i put the Liquid Air on. the only flaw so far is a rough edge on the back where the soft plastic meets hard plastic. it could be a bit more grippy, but the triangle pattern is better than the ones i had on my axon 7s Spigen cases i loved as they were slick af on the back. i have dropped my phone multiple times in that case with a Skinomi and with a Dbrand screen protector. The combos saved my phone. The SPs not so much, but between the case and those, my OP6t is still minty.
Ive the Spigen liquid air. Great case
I went with the poetic case, for 360deg protection, after having a wife proof case on my pixel XL.
I exacto'd off the charging port cover because I didn't like how the cover pressed against the USB cable and caused pressure on the port.
Only downside of the case is that it's not a sealed case like the other, and occasionally I'll take it apart to clean it out. The kickstand predictably broke, but that's to be expected since it's plastic and mounts with a few pins.

I have the OEM nylon case and I have the same issue too. Holding the phone in portrait for a long time hurts my hands. That's why I always take off the case when I'm lying down, but the phone becomes slippery. I'm going to install a skin on this phone, so it's not slippery when naked.
Figured I would chime in on this since I just returned my spigen tough armor.
I liked the case for protection. Had a decent screen side lip and good protection for the camera also.
However, the buttons for me were the worst part. They blend in to the side of the case to where you can't find them in the dark easily at all. The case is bulkier then a slim case but thats to be expected, it didn't bother me that much.
The kickstand was also very weak and doesn't work in portrait. I returned it and got a case that was 1/3 the price and is a little better IMO.
