Was just Wondering What Case Has Provided You With The Best Protection With Your Phone? Was Just Wondering Cause I Have The Otter box Commuter And Just Wanted To Make Sure I Chose The Best Case That Will Protect My Phone. Thanks for the feedback! I will hit that like button.
Any cheap rubber or plastic case that is higher on all four sides than the screen will protect the phone amazingly. After that it is just a matter of style and materials to your preference IMHO. A 1 dollar case off ebay or aliexpress will protect the phone fine. It might look like crap but it will protect the phone AFAIK.
Do you care only for protection or also for compactness?
First of all make sure the case you want to buy is military grade tested.
For pure protection you should buy a case with a front tpu cover like poetic revolution, otterbox got one i think as well.
If you care for protection but also for compactness then i would go for UAG, Evutec or otterbox symmetry or spigen slim armor if on limited budget. There are more, i am just naming a few.
Go with the "Unicorn Beetle" case. It's compact and hugs the phone great. Great protection, screen protector and comes with a strong holster. I've had this case for all of my phones. Great product and the price is right on ebay for about 17 to 25 dollars!

I completely agree with you. My case who had raised sides, protected my phone from a 2 ft drop on tiled floors. Dropped on bottom left corner first, then stopped screen down. To my amazement no crack or scratches on the front & back glass.

I use the incipio dual pro on mine and it has survived many accidental drops Adds a tiny bit of size but I personally like the grip and size much more with the case on. Also power button and volume buttons on the case feel great and I never accidentally press them.

you made a good choice! I use my Otterbox Commuter every day. It's always my first choice of case when I get a new phone. Great protection, but not as bulky as a Defender case.

Spigen tough armor are awesome cases. I had one for my S5. Love it.
I have a Rugged Armor for my S7 and love it as well.
I've personally been using a case-mate tough. Pretty good and the buttons feel great.

Actually Commuter is a very protective case for your S7. I'm using it too. But you know that there is another series from Otterbox that is more protective but also more bulky than Commuter, that is Defender.
I have an Artech21 Little Rock for my "rugged" case. It's "Military Grade" and whatever other fancy catchphrases you wanna use. But I don't put much stock into those phrases... It's fairly difficult to install/remove. Because of that, the phone won't pop out, even if you were to throw it as hard as you can across the room (that's not to say the phone would survive inside). But the case IS plenty strong. Honestly, my only 2 complaints are that A) the tempered glass is like a half inch more narrow than the screen (but at the time of purchase, not a single tempered glass screen protector covered edge to edge flawlessly (loss of sensitivity, haloing, etc.). And, B) I'm not a big fan of the designs. When other models like the Vivid Arkansas look so damn unique good. The Little Rock just looks super plain. Of the cases I own, the Little Rock is easily the strongest, while the Vivid Arkansas is much thinner, it looks MUCH better. And it still provides plenty of protection itself. And I can't speak for cases I don't own. But the Little Rock is easily the toughest. The Vivid Arkansas looks the best. And while it doesn't provide the hardcore protection of the Little Rock, it has saved my phone on a few drops, one I expected to be bad. But not a scratch

I just upgraded from the Skyrocket to the Note yesterday. I had the Seidio Active combo on my Skyrocket. It's a great case, but it was a little bulky and the rubber was too grippy for jeans.
I'd like to find the thinnest case possible for the Note, but I want something that protects the screen edge with a slightly raised portion. The Gorilla Glass is harder to break than normal glass, but it can be broken and it scratches just as easily.
Some of the slim cases I have seen don't offer the screen edge protection, like the SPG and the Elago. Any ideas? Maybe I should just get a bumper case.

I use the Rearth Ringke slim and like it. The only raised part is on the corners, though, so you may not like it. The sides are largely uncovered.

Paying $25 for that case is just foolish.
I bought this one for $7:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-GLOSS...802561?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3371d03501
Its not that thick, its cheap and its secure.
The Boxwave Unicolor case is pretty thin. I also like that it combines TPU for the edge to protect the corners but uses hard plastic on the back to allow it to easily slide in and out of pockets. I always find TPU is just too sticky for the entire case. One added perk: The back plastic is see-thru so the phone still looks pretty stock if you like that look.
On Amazon for like $14. I think you can find other manufacturers of the same case on eBay for cheaper, but I jus tuse Amazon because it's easier. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
I got a clear TPU case, both form and function are just fine. It comes up and over the edge of the screen just enough to add some protection, and easily slides in and out of all my pockets, and my jeans don't hang off of me I got it from this guy for just $1.99 delivered.

I would have to agree. I usually take off the case after a few months. The thinnest case I found is .2mm from this guy.

As I said in my post, the Elago does not protect the screen edges.
I really don't think any of the ultra-thin cases have screen lip protection. I have the Elago, but rarely use it. Find a slightly bigger case that does and make the compromise. I love the Zenus Air Capsule. It has a screen lip, has a kickstand, hard plastic so it slides in and out of pocket easily and is less bulky than the Speck, Casemate and most of the other "mid" protection range cases. Just my 2c!

I have never used the Barely There case or Elago but in the screenshots on amazon of that elago case, it looks like the bottom is unprotected. Is that how the Barely There case is as well?

I have the Spigen Slim Armor now but its too slippery and the back scratches easily.
The bigger cut outs of the back buttons on the SUPCASE look like they would be better then how the SlimArmor is setup.
Can any provide any pictures of theres and how they like it? Or if they bought one but ended up not liking it and getting something else?
I received the first one you mention on Friday (clear/black) and I love it.
The fit is tight and the cut outs are perfect. It keeps the phone pretty slim and looks great with the clear back.
I had a similar case for my galaxy s4 from poetic and it was just a great look for me.
If you're rough with your phone and it gets banged around alot or dropped alot, then this might not be for you.
It offers average protection, which is good for me 90% of the time as I work in an office or I'm in my car.
For slightly better protection I bought the verus iron shield which I should be receiving today and am very excited about.
It also looks great and will protect my g3 a little better on the weekends.
Anyway, I do highly recommend the supcase after a few short days and the price is pretty good too.
As far as pics, the ones on amazon do it justice.
Hope this helps. There are many good cases and you won't do wrong with any of them.

Thanks for the input.I was looking at the Versus Thor case also but some reviews said it affects signal. And the back button cut out on is tight like on the slim armor and that kinda bothers me..The supcase button cuts are larger which i think would be better
I'll let you know about the verus as I'll have it this afternoon.
I read the same about signal but I also read in more places that it wasn't true.
The video reviews on youtube really sold it for me an hopefully I like it as much as I think I will.

I have the first one and agree with bkrickels.
I might prefer something a little thinner, but this certainly isn't bulky. No complaints on the back buttons with this.
Definitely no issue with signal. I can keep a call up every time driving on this one road that my GS3 dropped the call on every time.
I do hope Qi works through this case. I'll probably know that next week when my sticker comes.

I got the Unicorn Beetle and so far I like it. It has a good feel in your hands but it does add some bulk to the rear of the phone. It is a somewhat thick case and does add some mm onto the phone and weight.
I forget how much it does so until I remove the case and feel how light and thin the G3 actually is.
It does offer some great protection and this case WILL NOT bounce or fall apart during a fall or impact. The G3 fits impressively nice and snug in its case.
It is a PITA to remove the phone though, this thing is practically cemented in but once you know how to get it off, but just doesn't take as long but still is hard to do so.
It does come with a built in screen protector but I didn't need it because I had a tempered glass one installed. So I removed it and then had to spend half an hour removing all the glue that was holding it in place. The damn protector just pops out and leaves ALL its glue and adhesive on the inside of the front section of the case.
I used Goo Gone, thinner, hot water and soap and I still had to scrub it off. What a PITA...
But, I need a rough and tumble case for my job and the Unicorn does it.
Just be forewarned, it does add a bit of bulk and weight to the phone but it feels good holding it and! It has its corners notched off, giving it a Galactica prop like effect.

Thanks for the info..This Unicorn Beetle PRO Serie is case I am leaning towards..On my past phones Glaxay Nexus and Note 2 i used Otterbox defender and Seidio cases. So I would assume this adds about the same bulk.
Do you have any pics of the phone in the case or side by side to how much bulk it does add?
Also curious if the back scratches easy or holds up well.
I have a glass protector also so id be removing the bultin one
Ordered the Verus Thor from Amazon and I ended up sending it back. To me, it wasn't slim. It added some bulk to it. I have the Seidio Surface and I love it. Minimal bulk and still keeps near its original form factor.
i have the one with the clear back and i had it on my m8 and it is one of the best cases out there.
I just got my G3 on Friday and the first thing I did was go on Amazon and order the Clear/Black Supcase and temepered glass screen protector. They really make the best slim TPU style case. Nice and tight fitting, never had to worry about the material stretching on your like other TPU style cases. If there is a Supcase for my device im running it plus tempered glass and im good! Can't go wrong with it.
Not concerned with the case keeping a slim design..I'd rather have protection over looks
Using a Supcase, black with black.
Slim and works fine with my tempered screen protector.

I'm rocking the Hybrid Case and love it. I've been an exclusive Spigen customer for years but their case had that cutout which turned me away. This Supcase has the same protection level and looks just as good. The clear back keeps the phones sharp look too. Highly recommend!
I have the first one in gray/clear on my white G3. Looks good. Good protection. Have to agree on earlier post that it is difficult to remove phone from.
Did you look ringke max case? For me is perfect one
i bought both!
i love the frost one and the bigger when when i plan to go outdoors (camping, hiking)
but the slimmer frost one is my daily.
I have one but found the straight edges make it a little uncomfortable to hold. I've gone back to the ultra slim gel case from eBay for about 2.99 feels great and noticeably lighter.
i have the slim sup case.
I like how tight fit it is, even though sides are soft, because fit is so tight, it doesn't move at all. really good case
i don't like how the back is so slippery.
try the Digtronic one too.. I'm tempted to order that one as a backup case.
I have the first case you posted in clear with Gray edges. It looks great on my white phone. My only complaint is that the cut outs on the bottom are uncomfortable. When I am playing with my phone for a while. They irritate my pinkie.

The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
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

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.

Got this one today and it is sweet. Super thin and I like that it covers the buttons.

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)

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

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.

Could you tell me how much it weighs? Amazon lists 1.4 ounces for both item and shipping weight. That's way to heavy for me.

No Protection with this case. It clearly says in description only for scratch. If you want full protection I would suggest that you get this one from Samsung is very slim:

How is the grip
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------
Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu
Looking for a good case to ease my worries about dropping this bad boy.
Need something in UK/Ireland so eBay or Amazon etc
Any recommendations most welcome
Thanks
Went for this one on Amazon Spain,might be a bit bulky but will probably buy more
Update: got this today but it is noticeably bulky compared to the standard case.Lip protection is good though and overall would be a better option for fall protection.
Does feel more slippy though because of the bulk so back to the standard you case for now
Aliexpress only for now. Try to buy something already in Europe because aliexpress ultimately change the country shipping if you want

Some good ones on Flipkart as also including the official iconic cases
Edit: I meant Giztop which seems easier to get from Europe
I have this case https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0813YX7NX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yes I think that is the best one. Had been waiting for it to show up in AliExpress.
Received the rugged case - really impressed!
Just received the rugged case from giztop, really impressed with, its truly rugged and even with a tempered glass screen protector it has a raised lip to protect the screen, has a raised lip for the back cameras, buttons are a joy to press and in my opinion it looks good. has a very good grip to it. only slight negative is it is heavy, phone becomes 268g with it.
So far best 2 cases are this one and the Alcantara Case which is premium to the touch but much less protective. with the alcantara case, phone becomes 241g., phone naked with just screen protector is 213g
