Best armband size for S8? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories

It looks like my Belkin for S6 won't fit an S8 (would buy an S8 very soon) so what is the best armband size for S8? Should I pick an iphone 7 plus armband model?
I saw a Floveme model for 5.5'' smartphones that has 3 holes on each side so it will surely match the 3.5mm jack of the S8 but would it be too wide for the S8?

I would suggest you to go with Supcase or Lifeproof Armband for Galaxy S8.

Thanks but I got an iphone 7+ armband a month ago, a bit big but as long as you tighten it, it's perfect.
I also used a cutter to enlarge the lower opening of about 1cm to let my earphones plug pass without problem

[Q] Dock and Speck Case

Does anyone know if the note fitted with the speck case fits properly on the samsung dock that they sell in att stores?
Thanks
Don't think so. I have a case about the size of the Spec and it does not allow the usb plug to seat properly. The SGP Ultra Thin I also have does work with the dock, but has minimal protection on the bottom and top of the phone.
via my AT&T Note
Sorry, it doesn't work. The Speck is too thick and the charging port cutout is too small to make a connection.
My Samsung Galaxy Note™ is smarter than your Honor Student.
Seido makes this dock that is made to work with their active series of cases, which is definitely just as bulky, if not bulkier than the Speck Candyshell, so it should work just fine. It's a bit spendy, and only works with portrait mode, but it's still a viable option:

You're welcome.

S6 case fit on the S7?

I have a case on my S6 that I want to use on my brand new S7 that I ordered, will it fit?
Yes, but not all of the cutouts will line up properly (i.e., headphone port). I am using a S6 case on mine temporarily until my S7 case is delivered in a few days.

As f308 said, the cutouts (especially the headphone port) are slightly misaligned.
Also, if you're looking at using a higher-end case, something like an OtterBox Defender of Lifeproof Fre, note that you'll have a problem with the buttons -- the S6 Defender's power and volume buttons are slightly off, and will cause the S7 to bootloop.

[Q] S8 - Thin TPU Gel Case with Kickstand that can QI Charge?

Hey everyone... so far... none of my searches seem to find a Galaxy S8 TPU Gel case with a kickstand AND that can QI Charge.
I have had one since the Galaxy S3, 4, and 6 had this style.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YNTPHMU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Does anyone have any insight on one similar? HATE having my S8.. without the ability to kick it up to watch netflix when I want.. and I have a nice QI dock cradle that I use for drop and go.
Thanks.
Spigen has one
Thanks. Just looked on their website and says charging compatible. So thats good indeed. Sucks not having the ability to kickstand my S8 up...

Case that covers S-Pen?

I currently have the Samsung book case for the tab s7+. I am having issues with the s pen coming loose and falling off. The book case with the tab s6 had a flap on the top back of the case that would cover the s pen so it couldn't fall off. The book case for the s7+ does not have this. Does anybody know of a case for the tab s7+ that does hold the s pen in place?

I like the supcase unicorn beetle. Not a book case though
I picked up a TiMOVO case from Amazon. It has elastic that holds the s pen in place. It feels a little more bulky than the book cover case but not to bad.
Spigen recently released (in the last month or so) a new book case. I think it's superior to Samsung's own book case. Offers a trifold front cover that can be folded back and also a spot to mount the s pen in the designated area on the back of the tablet. Link below if you're interested. I picked it up and it's been great.

Why don't you put the s-pen in the spot on the spine of the book cover? Mine has never fallen out when the case is closed. Everyone complains that their book cover doesn't hold the s-pen in place during transport when they leave it on the back even though the slot on the spine is completely protected. The only problem is that it doesn't charge there.
I got mine from Best buy Canada, Tucano brand, no magnet crap to mess up my S Pen, the only one that has no Smart cover thing.
Perfect protection of the pen.
Actually, so good that I had trouble getting the pen out so I cut off a few mm to make it easier

Take a look at the Fintie line of cases on Amazon. I've got one for the S7 and S5e, both look and feel great. I don't have actual experience with the one for the S7+ though.
Tablet Book Cover Click-In​ist bulky, but contains a strap for the pen

Old thread, but I wanted to say I bought this one, too, and it is outstanding. Not much bulk, great protection, and the pen stays put.
I have both the original Keyboard Case and Book Cover Case. Been rocking the Keyboard case about 95% of the time. Its aweome, and I use my tablet for a lot of productivity, so its nice to have quick acess to keyboard. The pen is stored on the back, like it was on tab S6 Book cover.
On the book cover its stored inside the case. Also convenient.

You have to get a keyboard case for that. Like this.

I had the Tab S6 also with that same case. I loved it, and gave up ever finding one for the Tab S7+ I now have that same Spigen case. its really the only one that works for me.

This is the Poetic TurtleSkin. It's fat and rubbery but not sticky. I got it for less that $20. I had to get used to it but now I can say I'd buy it again. I also have the genuine book cover wich is well made but overpriced. And dealing with the pen seems like it was an afterthought.
The Spigen one runs for several inches along the back, and holds the s Pen firmly. Mine has never come loose.

S7 FE, S8 FE, S7+ and S8+ case compatibility?

It seems like anything that fits the SE's will also fit the 7+ and the 8+. Can anyone confirm? I know it's true of screen protectors. Is it true of all cases? It's true of most, if not all, rubber cases.
