I've been a Diztronic case lover for quite a while now. They're so minimalistic and yet so protective. I've had one for my VZN Galaxy Nexus, Droid DNA, S4, and now my Note 3 just came in the mail today. It doesn't look like much but these cases have saved my phones from several drops including drops hitting the corner. I HIGHLY recommend it for anyone that wants good protection without adding a ton of bulk.
*Fair warning* - these cases do not come with screen protectors. I haven't ever used a screen protector on my phone without a scratch (plus completely unnecessary with Gorilla Glass 3).
Second pic is new case side by side with my S4 case. Now I just need my phone to fill it... ... ....
EDIT: Oops, for got to put Amazon purchase link
So the Note 3 does have Gorilla Glass 3 then? and you don't use screen protectors?

Yes, the Note 3 has Gorilla Glass 3. No, I don't use screen protectors. Completely useless to me. I bought my S4 on launch day, May 23rd. As you can see, even in this borrowed iCrap 5 photo, there isn't a single scratch. Also you see how snug the Diztronic case is around my S4.

My Diztronic case came yesterday. I too am a big Diztronic fan. I tried multiple TPU cases for my GNex, and always came back to the Diztronic. I do have a Spigen Neo Hybrid case also on order, but won't be too unhappy if it doesn't work out since I know I'll like the Diztronic. Now I'm wondering if the N3 with Dizronic/Neo Hybrid will fit any of the pouch/holsters I've ordered!

I have used a Diztronic TPU case on my S3 since summer 2012 and it has been fantastic. High quality TPU cases for a low price. I am probably going to get a Neo Hybrid case for the Note 3 just to change it up a bit. Might end up picking up a diztronic as well, we will see!

Is Gorilla Glass 3 more scratch resistant than previous versions?
And thanks OP for the review on the case. I had it in my Amazon wish list so I just moved it to my cart and checked out

Ouch sorry to hear that. I definitely keep my keys and phone in different pockets or ensure that my keys are always on the back side of the phone if they HAVE to be in the same pocket (not the case 99% of the time).

Yes, the 3rd generation of Gorilla Glass is the most resistant so far. They keep improving at every step.
You're welcome and congratulations on your purchase!!! You'll enjoy the enhanced grip with the added protection!

I've never had an issue pressing the buttons. In fact, the case sometimes makes it easier. The case is thinner where the buttons are, but add a little more thickness. You get a good press every time. I just took my S4 case off and snapped a pic of the thinner spot where the volume buttons are.
I'm not going to tell you not to buy the SPIGEN case either. Apparently a lot of people like it from the Note 2 and other devices and has a good reputation.
I'm just going by what I know. The Diztronic cases are very good for a minimalistic experience with good drop protection. They are no Otterbox though, not even close.
EDIT: Silly me...forgot the pic
I am ordering one of these for my Note 3 tonight. I have been using one on my S2 for almost 2 years and love it, I drop my phone a lot and it looks new.

Just got my black diztronic case today. I have used them on my EVO 3D and EVO 4G LTE. Great light duty case. I'm just not the type that wants the phone to get too bulky but I don't want to run it naked so these work great!
I just purchased one hope I'll like it lol

I love the matte finish. The port cutouts are very accurate and the case fits nice and tight. It's definitely a keeper especially for the low price of $10. My only wish is that the "lip" of the case was also matte instead of shiny/polished.

Thanks! I used a Nikon D7100 and Tamron 17-50mm Lens with a Nikon SB-600 flash.
So like me i am sure you all went thru a lot of glass and plastic screen protectors for your galaxy S7 and nothing fits right or feels same.
Here is a new one by CORAL

Here is a video review by our own ebpman
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Fzelt0l9s.
Mod edit: Commercial links removed.
Hopefully i was able to help you all out!
EDIT UPDATE:
Review for the Coral Tempered Glass
#1 Looks 8/10- It dosent look exactly like the phone, so its like putting a case for the front as well. However dont get me wrong it does look very good so i will give it an 8 since it does not preserve the samsung color all the way but it comes very close.
#2 Design: Idk how i can rate this one. It is shaped just like the phone screen so thumbs up i guess.
#3 Functionality: Flawless touch screen experience. This field will get 10/10
#4 Compatibility: Already tried it with other cases, about 5 of them (i work at Verizon) and it works well with all of them. I can see it being a problem with some off brand super tight cases though. I tested it with UAG, Incipio, Speck, Spigen, Case Mate.
#5 Protection: It makes my phone feel very secure and is a solid over all product. so this is one place it gets 10/10 for sure. It is 0.26 MM which is thinner than 0.33 MM regular glass we are used to but if the glass was any thicker i dont think the cases would fit it, so i do believe its the perfect thickness.
Overall its a 9 depending on how it does with my cases but i am sure it ill pass with flying colors.
Will do a more in depth review once i get back home from work tonight or tomm. Will post pictures
I am using it with an otter-box commuter right now and its working great. Also idk how many of you saw this but here is the video of our very own ebpman who did a review on one as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6Fzelt0l9s
Another review by @seoulbrova https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70dP...ature=youtu.be
P.S: I have more cases coming in oblique and caseology and all so ill post how those work with this here.
These companies should probably have options where the samsung logo gets hidden.

would you really like that?? i kind prefer mine as if there is nothing on the screen to preserve the orignal look. But then i am also the person whos like BEFORE and is against the after
Ordered one, hope it's as nice as it looks.
Are there any distributors of Coral products in Canada? The shipping costs bring this to about $60 CDN, which seems a bit high for me. Also, is Coral associated with Leaf (perhaps owned by them)?
I wanted to order this, but even with the $5 off coupon, it adds up to $30+. They charge $4.50 for first class mail shipping, which is ridiculous. $32 for a screen protector is a bit rich.

Please let us know how it fits! It seems like all the manufacturers are having problems with those curved edges with not only tempered glass, but also PET. Those slightly curved edges are making it difficult to find any screen protector that is full screen and doesn't have edge lifting or issues with cases. This is the first company with a full screen tempered glass protector that actually has a video of it on the s7 and addresses those issues. Still, it will be good to hear from someone that has tested it first hand that isn't paid by the company.

Is it ? everytime i ship something using first class mail it always ends up being over $5 honestly i cant comment on the weight as idk if i have ever shipped anything which weighs like a tempered glass but oh well i wont complain if it works properly, otherwise back it goes lol.
Whats with colored screen protectors this time around?
Are they trying to hide the rainbow effect?
I can confirm that this tempered glass protector would fit as advertised because i bought the plastic ones and they fit perfectly. Heres the link. I purchased one and should arrive in a week. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/17175543...49&var=470968620531&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Interesting, is that a knockoff Zagg? Not that the brand matters. As long as it fits, protects the screen and doesn't interfere with the touch sensititivy, I don't care about the brand. Maybe mfg finally figured out how to make these for the curved glass. However, the title states for Samsung Galaxy S6 S7 and I've seen plenty on Amazon that state full coverage for Galaxy S7. Then based on reviews, it seems they just rebranded an S6 protector. It does state beneath the title, [tested on Galaxy S7], and also gives the option to select S6 or S7. I hope it fits! If so, it means that there will be a lot more of these available and prices will come down. If you bought the PET one, did you notice any edge lifting?
@ -Gir-, in the video it actually shows the rainbow effect, so no, I don't think that's it. Maybe it helps with aligning it? I don't know, and it does seem sort of unnecessary. The one in the ebay link also has colored borders.
Dam, no getting these in the UK? I checked the site and they only ship to the states.

I am waiting on the glass one to arrive. I bought a 3 pack of the plastic ones and stuffed one of them up but second one fit on perfectly. Using a Spigen case and no screen lifting. Touch sensitivity is smooth as it is off. No problems at all
I got my onyx s7 yesterday, 1st day out of the house. Rocking a spigen case (need to change the case, rear is clear plastic and very slippy) add to that the screen is naked, im scare of breaking it.
Ive akways had tempered glass on my s5 and had no issues. ordered the crystal spigen but desperate for a tempered glass one in the uk
will wait for a price drop, they sell other items on amazon for much less. obviously this will be higher than most but hoping a small drop will happen soon
keep us posted on field tests

Looks like that one only ships in Australia, which is shame for me here in Canada. The price seems much better than the one from Coral, but maybe there is a quality difference. If I was in Oz I would likely order this one and try it out. The price of the Coral one is too high for me to order it right now.

Hope that Jetech works for you! Just checked again on Amazon and it looks like there are quite a few options now with the same description as the Coral one; namely 9H hardness, oleophobic coated and full coverage (Sorry, can't add urls, newbie poster, long time browser). Also, all seem to have the colored borders. Prices seem to range from about $8.99-$29.99 (Checked Amazon UK and there seems to be a few on there too!). I have noticed that like the Jetech, most of these state the thickness is 0.3 mm, which one reviewer stated made pressing the home button difficult for his fat fingers. Curious to know if anybody else has had that issue before. It seems this is a common thickness for the tempered glass. My last one had a gap under the home button so it wasn't an issue.
@ Leeum, thanks for the update on the fit of the plastic ones. Good to know you didn't have issues with edge lift with the Spigen case.
@ StickyGeko, I had the same case and almost dropped it first day! Immediately ordered another case and only kept that one on there long enough for the new one to arrive. Ended up going with the Spigen Slim Armor. Still a bit smooth for my liking, but it seems to have just a bit more padding.
Has anyone found an ultra thin case like a Calicase or Peel?
so far i can't find one. i loved the offical LG case for the nexus 5x. it was basically a cover for the back and had cutout on the bottom. all i want is to protect the back from scuffs. don't need a big case.
I'm holding out for the Ringke Slim to come out for the Pixel. It's been a perfect slim case for my old Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and then the 6P.
I'll be using the Pleson TPU case in the mean time.
I ordered a pleson from amazon. It features some sort of dots on the back to prevent sticking air bubbles patterns. Get get on my s6edge with tpu cases today. We'll see how it holds up.
I've been looking for a thin case myself. I just put my Pixel into this case a few minutes ago:

I was skeptical because of the top and bottom which typically are nonexistent on these types of cases but I'm very happy.

I was looking at this case last night! Looks like the Ringke Slim, which I've had in the past and loved. Was it tight when putting it on? My only concern with these kinds of cases is scraping the edges of the phone when putting it on/taking it off.

I just popped it out and back in to see and no it didn't seem to be too tight. I don't believe this is a concern. The edges of the case are also rounded and have a soft matte type of finish.
Good case option from Amazon
If you need a quick case at a good price, try this one out. I ordered it in advance. It isn't that special but does the basics. I think it is slim, but not ultra slim. Check it out until more cases hit the market. Different colors and styles are available.
Search amazon for this name and brand. $7.99 shipped:
Google Pixel Case, DGtle [Shock Absorbent] Anti-Scratches TPU Gel Premium Slim Flexible Soft Bumper Rubber Protective Case Cover for Google Pixel (Smoke Black)
What I need is something like the custom live cases from Google, but not at $50 CAD. I have a Spigen thin fit on my 6P and I'm looking for something similar, but not clear.
what you guys are listing and talking about are thin cases, OP is looking for ultra thin cases, like the orzly flexslim series:
http://orzly.com/products/flexi-slim
I hoping they will come out with one for the pixel too, these are really just for scratch protection and will offer literally no drop protection, its similar to having a slim on your phone but more flexibility as you can just put it on and take it off easily.

i'm hoping to go with just a bumper case around the outer edge, because this phone is a beauty and i dont want to cover it up! that said, if i did get a full case and wanted to keep it relatively slim, i'm probably go with the diztronic matte slim case. i have one on my 5x, and it's been not only great at protecting on minor falls and bumps, but has held up extremely well over time. couldn't say enough about that case. looks like amazon currently has it available for purchase, but it's not shipping until 11/4.

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's actually exactly the case I have on right now. What I meant was a case with open top, open bottom and open buttons. But not clear.
There seems ot be some confusion on what an "Ultra thin" case actually is. let me help you guys better understand this, and why android people want huge clunky cases baffles me, but coming from a lifetime of androids, then switching to a 6s, and having a fantastic case experience... this is annoying.
This is an ultra thin case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH87ZSQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Notice the use of factory buttons, it does not cover the bottom of the device, yet still wraps the corners so if dropped is protected. so far the closest I have found on amazon for my Pixel is this case from this thread:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MQCG0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Which I ordered, and will arrive Thursday.
If there are plastic buttons that cover up the factor buttons that stick out of the case, it's safe to assume it's not an ultra thin case.
Just got that one by Maxboost and I can confirm its definitely the thinnest "case" out there right now. It's definitely a shell more than a case, and it's a bit slick, but overall I think I'm gonna stick with it. I used some fine steel wool to give it some grip, and it feels better IMO.

Bingo bingo. People don't seem to get it. I settled for the maxboost also but it looks like decent space between the camera and the case worrying me. Calicase and peel are the leaders IMHO in this thin case space. Just no love for the pixel.

Thanks for confirming. I was hoping for the ultra thin tpu. Can you add some pictures of it after the wool treatment?
I ordered 2 of these for my wife's and my Galaxy S8. After applying them, I waited at least 12 hours before putting a case on my wife's phone. The edges peeled up almost immediately. I have 3 different cases, 2 Ringke and a leather wallet style. All 3 of them had the same issue, on both phones. I was looking at the reviews for this on Amazon and noticed the seller, New Tech Accessories, said that Armorsuit has released an updated version of this screen protector that has a more precise cut.
I know these protectors were very popular for the S7 Edge, so if anyone else is in the same boat, contact the seller through Amazon. Looks like they are going to exchange the defective ones.

Same thing happened with my S8. They didn't make the case friendly version as friendly as they should have. The version for my S7edge was great. These are cut too close to the edge of the screen.

Oh no, I put an Armorsuit protector on my S8 last night. It's been on for over 12 hours but I haven't touched it yet. It looks really good on the phone. I have a Spigen ultra hybrid clear case. I hope I have better luck when I put the case on.
It shouldn't be an issue getting an exchange if you need it. Here is the reply to a user review on Amazon:

I ordered 2 of these for my wife's and my Galaxy S8. After applying them, I waited at least 12 hours before putting a case on my wife's phone. The edges peeled up almost immediately. I have 3 different cases, 2 Ringke and a leather wallet style. All 3 of them had the same issue, on both phones. I was looking at the reviews for this on Amazon and noticed the seller, New Tech Accessories, said that Armorsuit has released an updated version of this screen protector that has a more precise cut.
I know these protectors were very popular for the S7 Edge, so if anyone else is in the same boat, contact the seller through Amazon. Looks like they are going to exchange the defective ones.

To my surprise I received 2 NEW improved design cut free of charge (only ordered one BTW) and didn't even ask the company for them! Getting my phone today so now I know why they sent them to me! You should be getting replacements too. If you haven't call or email them they stand behind their product!!
I have already sent them a message through Amazon.
I left mine on for 18 hours before trying with the case. It's buckled a tiny bit in the upper right corner and lower left corner. Other than that it's OK but very close to the case and I can see it possibly lifting on the edges with use. I assume I have one of the problem first batch. I'll contact them for a replacement either way just in case.
New Tech Accessories is sending me 2 new screen protectors. They did say if there were any more issues, I would have to do a warranty claim, which I don't think would be a problem. Also, they are just sending the protectors, so hopefully anyone else who is having an issue kept their squeegees and solution.
Same here. I have the zagg hd screen protector. My case came to days later and this is the result

Are you going to be putting a case on your phone? Please let us know if the new designs work.
I got my new protectors. Not only did they send me replacements for the 2 that I ordered, but they sent me 4 extra. Haven't had a chance to try them yet, will do that tomorrow.
I can verify that the new protectors fit better. Tried multiple cases and no lifting at the edges.
After a couple of days the original Armorsuit protector started lifting up around the edges from contact with my Spigen Hybrid Ultra case. They sent me two of the revised more case friendly version without me even asking. I put it on 2 days ago and it is much improved. Fits my S8 with the Spigen perfectly. It looks great except for fingerprints. I just wish they come out with a glass protector that actually works and don't cost an arm and a leg. I really prefer that glass feel. Picture is attached but it doesn't do it justice because of reflections.
I bought an Armour Suit screen protector of Ebay and had no issues installing it. It fits great and the edges are not lifting. When installing, the edges did lift slightly, but I ended up using a hair dryer to let the edges stick. After applying the spray solution, when the skin adhesive drys a bit, it helps to adhere better. Also, my case doesn't cover up the edges as much as most popular cases which helps.

You probably received the newer version. The first version was labeled as case friendly but wasn't. The newer one is actually case friendly and fits correctly. Armorsuit is sending out new protectors to those who received the non-case friendly ones.
New version working well with Spigen Rugged Armor. I recommend trying the case on during the install, while everything is still wet, to see if the corners are positioned properly. Also, don't "pull" to hard on the protector while squeegeeing it, since the material can stretch (and if it does, it will be too close to the edges and then will lift when a case is snapped on).

Maybe OP should update thread title to reflect that the new version is "a go", especially considering Armorsuit sent everyone free replacements.
Not sure how to edit the title.
I've heard about the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Cases. Apparently, they can withstand 11ft drops on concrete. Has anyone had any experience with them in the past? Do they hold up? I am deathly afraid of cracking my S8 Plus but also find the idea of covering up my GORGEOUS phone with a case to be stupid. Thoughts?

I had this for my S6 and my Pixel. It is a great bumper case. I liked it more, as das as comfort on my s6 than the Pixel.

Do you recommend it for a balance of protection and minimalism?
I do. When I had it in my s6 I put a slick wrap skin on the back and a tempered glass on th the front.

I had one on my Note 5 with a Dbrand skin, they didn't make one for the S7 Edge or a Note 7. I pre-ordered and it's supposed to ship next week. Only downside I had is it takes a while for the buttons to break in because they are a little stiff.
I had/have on my s7. I also have the back and front protection. My s7 is still in perfect condition. it's taken a few normal drops and handled them with ease. I pre-ordered for my s8. I totally trust it and love the minimalist look with awesome protection. I even put one on my daughter's iphone 7. Flawless performance. I do change up cases occasionally, but always come back to my Rhinoshield band.
Am more interested in the screen protector from Rhino, and wondering if any tried it.. They were the only company that made full adhesive screen protector (glass) for pixel xl.. So wondering how will this end up to be.. No mention in the website if the screen protector is full adhesive or not.. I guess i will have to wait and see when i receive it..
My only issue with the rhinoshield bumpers in the past is that it adds too much extra width (it has to I guess to provide the protection it does).
Too much extra width? It's like a a mm or 2. I loved it on my s7. Survived some nasty drops. I don't know about this one with the more curved edges though. I got a spigen neo hybrid.
Really liked it on my Nexus 6! Was bummed they didn't make it for my Nexus 6P...
I ordered mine last week, it has been shipped today.
I also ordered a back black mate skin from dBrand.
I will post some pictures once everything arrive.
after reading this thread i went looking for vids... found one for the S6... amusing and durable...so i ordered for the s8.
