RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Case worth it? (11ft drop Protection?) - Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories

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.

Ordered. This bumper has been saving my gfs ip7+ on many occasions

Ordered one as well. Have the UAG Pathfinder and love it but super impressed by all the demo videos for the RhinoShield.

Ringke cases for Galaxy S7

http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01B3JXS...lid=1ICKUOTIRAMXH&coliid=I3GH6BSRL4R5CL&psc=1
Found these available on amazon. Always loved there cases for my nexus 5x and galaxy s6.
Glad there is another folk who likes ringke cases ha. I am using ringke slim on s6 right now... thinking of gettin s7 edge case as well.. r u gettin s7 or s7 edge?
Edit: 9.99 usd compared to 8.99 uk pounds lol
I have a black Ringke slim on my S6 right now, and a Rinke Slim black case for my S7 sitting on my desk. I freaking love these cases, and coupled with a full-coverage tempered glass protector, it brings the surface of the screen right up to the edge of the case, so it's seamless.
I'd pass on Ringke. They messed up the G4 cases ROYALLY. First batch made the flashlight glare, so flashes were made useless since it scattered so badly. Then I realized that only after using it a few times, the glue came apart. I asked Ringke for an exchange, and found that they have a very limited warranty. As a result, I went to Amazon and they took it back and gave me a full refund.

No dust inside the case? The fitment is so poor on mine that dust slips in even with these dust covers.
Anyone bought Ringke here? http://homescreen.pl/en/galaxy-s7-edge/ ? Seems like reseller, but not many opinions about it. I need to get it shipped to Sweden.
I've had one for the s6 and i must admit it does make your phone look sleek.. But after few months of using it and rotating cases I noticed my power and volume buttons were getting scratched up badly. Or rather rubbed the paint (?) off my buttons... I know it's not from my other cases because they're tpu material and there's no way it's cause it.

Just got the Ringke Onyx case, check it out HERE
The case has great texture on the sides and the back and one thing I'm noticing is that it might be too many textures on the case. You have ridged bumpers, the brushed steel on the back along with a perforated back border. It just might be a tad too busy for those who are seeking a more minimalist case.

Which Spigen case for Galaxy S7

There's a really good deal for Spigen cases for Galaxy S7 in this thread, so I was wondering which one do you recommend for black Galaxy S7? I really can't decide which one to go with.
Crystal/transparent protectors looks nice on a silver version, but mine is black, so I have no idea if they are visually appealing in that case. I would really not like to have a bulky S7 that wouldn't sit well in hand, but at the same time good protection would be great. So how does their protectors compare, which one do you recommend?

I have this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B1I6J0E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 and I ordered a black onyx Galaxy S7. The case arrived yesterday but the phone itself won't be here until today or tomorrow. (UPS says today but they don't even have the package yet) The case is a nice thin one. I compare it to an Incipio case for my S5 and the Sigen case makes it look like the S7 is a thinner phone then the S5. So I'd say this case does not add much to the phone at all.
I went with the Artech 21 Vivid series:

I purchased 2 cases for my Galaxy S7: Spigen [Thin Fit] Exact-Fit [Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case & SPIGEN Clear Crystal TPU. I have the black S7. I loved the clear case for my white Note 5 but do not like it for the black S7. The other case, premium matte hard case, is awesome! Adds little -> no bulk.

I just got my thin fit exact fit and agree looks very minimal just enough to protect back glass... hope I get my s7 early.. are you going to use a glass front protector?
Nah, I'm going to take my chances. I've never used the screen protection and all the years of had phones or PDA's.

Ultra thin case

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.

S8 Ultra-thin case? (Peel-like case)

Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

Exactly what I was looking for.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.

thoughts on putting S9+ in an otterbox case?

I pre ordered my S9+ yesterday. i also ordered and otterbox and one of their tempered glass screen protectors. im coming from a note 5 and still used to a home button. will an otterbox interfere with the fingerprint sensor on back? any other pros or cons to not using the otterbox?

Otterbox cases are quite bulky. Not a fan of them. Ruins the fun of having a nice phone like the S9 only to have it feel like holding a brick.
Get yourself a very thin minimal clear case and/or a skin. As for the tempered glass screen protector, I'm all for screen protectors, so, good move right there.
Samsung's own cases look good, however if you're looking for something cheaper, check out Spigen's lineup.
Not really worried about price. Just want to protect the phone. I'm passing on insurance.

Ah, the Alcantara case. I really liked that one, had it on my S8+.
Offers great grip, and I dropped the phone twice when I had it. Once it landed on it's back, and the second time on it's face. No screen protector.
Absolutely ZERO damage. The corners of the case had minor scuffs, but the phone was perfect.
As you said price wasn't an issue, get this if you can. It's an awesome case.

Ah, the Alcantara case. I really liked that one, had it on my S8+.

Same situation here. Ordered my dBrand skins, they should be delivered tomorrow (or Monday), and I'm supposed to get my phone on either the 15th or 16th as well. :/
