First I'd like to introduce myself, I'm InfamousChicken, or you can call me Tim if you prefer. I can't wait to divulge myself into this community and talk with people and make some friends, now onto my question.
I am buying the Galaxy S4 next week, and I wasn't sure what I should get case wise. I was thinking of getting the Otterbox Commuter, along with getting Glass.tR Is this a wise choice and will it keep my phone and screen safe?
I'd post links if I was allowed to, but with 4 million users I understand they may not want that!
Thanks guys!
Hi Tim, welcome to XDA! You may want to check out the Accessories forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2317
There are a ton of case-specific threads/posts with very helpful reviews and pictures. Personally, I use a red Spigen Neo Hybrid and I love it. There's a ton of photos/reviews in that forum, so check them out.

Thanks, I was looking through that. How do you feel like that is for protection, and how do you feel that is protection for your screen incase you drop it face first?
Yes I also have the neo hybrid case and glasstr by spigen lovly combo. Im sure its good w/a commuter case as well

It has a very minimal lip surrounding the screen, so if it were to fall completely flat, I don't think there would be much for protection. However, most drops land on corners or edges. In that case, I think the Neo Hybrid provides very adequate protection - at least for me. I typically use phones without a case, as I think cases cover up the beauty of the phone and add bulk. This case feels and looks amazing, better than the pictures IMO. The only downside I can think of is the slim cutout of the headphone port.
What about the Spigen Slim Armor case, would it be as equally good or better than the commuter?
The slim armor is on sale if you bundle it with the glass screen protector, 40 dollars for both. That's what I would do.

Hi Tim, Welcome!
I decided on the MIME Ghost Glass for my GS4 for 3 main reasons instead of the Spigen glass protector. To note, I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid case.
1st reason: Spigen glass has a hardness rating of 8H-9H and the MIME was a solid 9H rating (Gorilla Glass 3 i think is a 7H-8H). That means it takes something harder to scratch it.
2nd reason: Spigen has a thickness of .40mm and MIME was .32mm. This i noticed after I installed the glass... The MIME Ghost Glass STILL sits lower then the rubber edge of the Neo Hybrid case so setting it face down, the glass still doesn't touch the table, and it BARELY sits below the case edge leaving me to believe the Spigen glass would be even with or sitting past/above the edge of the case.
3rd reason: I don't think that Spigen has a lifetime warranty with their glass protector. MIME Ghost Glass does. It's lifetime but its not replacement its 60% off your next glass it the first one you bought gets scratched/cracked.
I hope this helps your decision.

this may be a dumb question, but what is the advantage of a glass screen cover as opposed to flexible plastic one. i just ordered 6 matte/anti-glare covers on ebay for like $5 and they're great. fingerprints are a thing of the past, not that it was that big of a problem with the bare screen. but what is so much better about the glass? i've never covered a phone with a glass screen cover, but i'm definitely interested in why i should be.
it is glass... simply put. It feels just like the gorilla glass so it feels and looks like you have nothing on your phone!
Plus it protect ur screen much better than a plastic protector. I think u get around 3-4 hardness when then spigen glass ones get 8-9 hardness. If u drop ur phone on the screen the glass screen will crack before ur phone screen. Yea its alil pricey for 1 but its worth it

I'm sold on mime glass, my only question now is, what should I get with it to make a solid combo that will keep my phone safe. I guess it is true that in a drop, people are more worried about shattering their screen.
But It's either Spigen Neo Hybrid case.
Otterbox Commuter
Spigen Neo Galaxy S4 Case Slim Armor
or the WorkMate by cygnett
Which is sturdier of the 3? Which spigen neo is sturdier?

I recently got my note 3 and need to protect it properly. I got the iloom flexible glass screen protector and have been looking at a few options for a case:
- samsung original flip wallet (expensive!)
- spinge neo hybrid case - which i think i prefer for being sober, slim and seems sturdy
- Feel free to suggest a nice quality case - slim, non obtrusive.
But i have a doubt if the spinge case wont damage the screen protector on the edges. Saw a review of the neo hybrid (i think its the one on the spinge website) and the reviewer's note3 had that screen protector problem, a little damage on the edges because of the case - it lifts the screen protector a bit.
Do any of you have any problems like these with the neo hybrid? I assume it all depends on the screen cover, on how much surface it covers and if it gets tucked below the cover.
Anyway, please feel free to give me your feedback and opinions. They are very welcome.
Thanks
I have the Spigen bounce. Love it. The neo hybrid is nice but the outer plastic can crack if it hits the corner when it falls.

Seems very nice also. I somehow missed it when i was browsing the cases. And do you have a screen protector? Does the case mess with the screen protector?
I do. I have a tempered glass protector with the spigen bounce. No problems with it. It won't mess with film protectors either. This is the case with my protector. Page 64 closer towards the bottom of page.

i have the iloome flex screen protector as well with the case above. Fits PERFECTLY! looks good too.
I hate both, there's no other way to look at that, I like my phone as it is, but well scratches will come with time, that's a fact too, so I was wondering which to get. I mean if I go for a Tempered Screen Protector, could that save the display from shattering in case of an accidental drop? Or shall I be using a Protective Case? I know that the corners of a phone are the most important parts, that's where protection should be present, so am I wrong to guess that a tempered glass protector can't protect the corners? I am thinking from a phone drop point of view, not normal scratches, for normal scratches I think I don't need a tempered glass screen protector, a normal one shall do.
So what shall I aim for, a case or the other?
If it's a case then which one? I love the UAG cases for the protection it provides, but hate them for their industrial design, but I won't buy something which won't have a good amount of lip around the screen to protect it from drops and kinds. I need something simple and neat looking, low profile and lightweight and the material should be half rugged so that it won't slip out from my palms.
Thanks in advance.
Tempered glass will NOT save the screen from every drop. If it's face impact then yes most likely will save but if impact is on back of phone and no case or very slim case will Crack LCD it self. Wife's note had a super slim tpu case and LCD shattered but both glass were fine.
i always go with glass screen protector and thin tpu jelly type case. doesn't protect if like an otterbox but will be able to handle any of the minor mishaps i might have. i am very careful and treat my phones like gold so it hasn't failed me so far.
i realize there are plenty of things that setup will not protect your phone for but i can not stand to add bulk to any phone no matter how thin it starts out

I don't like because the nilkin one gets fingerprints too easy.
Gonna look into others and change this one
Best one I've used so far is the xtremeguard spartan. Not as bad as others as far as smudge and prints. All though, they changed the design lately, and sold them, was hoping for them to send me the previous design.
So I'm getting my S8 today but I still don't have anythong for its protection.
1.) What is the best CLEAR case for this device that gives it basic (slim but not too slim)? I also want to have that raised lip for the fingerprint sensor in the back.
2.) For screen protectors, is Temperd Glass recommended for curved devices? If so, which one is best?
I want to have the total cost for these at a minimal as I don't feel like spnding a lot just for the these basic accessories.
Thanks for the help!
Well I wasted almost 30 bucks on screen protectors and the only thing I can say is DO NOT buy any 3D tempered glass that is supposed to cover whole front. The main problem here is the adhesive which is located only on edges of the protector. There is air between screen and protector, which sometimes decreases touch responsivity, forcing you to apply some pressure in certain areas so that the input is registered. Also, most of these 3D glass protectors collide with many cases, so they simply don't work. Personally, just go for some decent case that will secure your device from drop, like RhinoShield or Spigen Neo Hybrid. If you care about design and don't want to lose it, go for something clear and thin/ultra thin
I bought a Baseus case from eBay and lobe it so much. So thin and light and matches perfectly. They are in Amazon too.
Also works with my Darth Vader skin that I have on the back so it still shows that off.

I strongly thinking of going back to no protector. I tried glass and the White Stone dome one was great except the glue on the side kept chipping out and looked terrible. I've got a film protector on now from Best Buy Canada and again it feels so crappy compared to the naked screen. If I remove it I'll still be careful but I do have insurance just in case. I already don't use a case (only a skin) for the very same reason...that I want to enjoy the feel and look of this beauty, not cover to up to protect it for someone else in the future.

I did that with my HTC 10 for a year for the same reason and it has no scratches or micro-abrasions at all. I think it's pretty safe to assume the S8 will be no different. As for going caseless... I wouldn't recommend that for a device mainly made of glass lol. Check out the Supcase review I just posted and try it out if you like. If not, return it or at least you'd have something to put on your phone when you're going somewhere or doing something that may cause you to drop it.
Buy yourself genuine samsung screen protector tpu version and genuine samsung light case.....or silicon case genuine.... all goes 100% together.

Right, I don't have a doubt regarding their genuineness. It's just that there are other screen protectors like the Spigen Neo Flex that costs $8.99 for a 2-pack as well. Same goes for the clear cases, there are others that are significantly cheaper than the Samsung. So I'm just wondering how do these fare with the official Samsung ones. Any thoughts?

I just finished installing the Whitestone Dome tempered glass screen protector. Initial thoughts so far is it's the best on the market hands down. Make sure you check for case compatibility before you purchase it though. The price is a little steep at $45 but well worth it IMO. The adhesive is under the entire glass and uses a UV to cure. Clarity and touch performance seem to be spot on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Z...+galaxy+s8&dpPl=1&dpID=51W7ozwV4HL&ref=plSrch

Me too, in Midnight Black color! Very elegant and nice.
Haven't understand yet if the clear back will become yellow or not in time...
About the screen protection, I'm a tempered glass lover. Since I've been using them I've saved all my old phones.
I've tried some curved glasses on my S8, but finally the Zagg Sapphire Curve is available in Europe and I've ordered one!
I know, it's not glass, but it's supposed to be harder then glass, and got now it's the cheapest solution for having a protection this good that adheres to all the device's screen.
And I've seen that it's case friendly and that not that bad in touchscreen sensitivity!

The Spigen ultra hybrid on my S7 Edge stayed pretty much clear the year I had it. I'm using a Armorsuit Military screen protector. It's not glass but it will do for now. It's really difficult to find a tempered glass protector for a curved screen. It seems like all if them are junk. I wait and let others experiment until there is one that really works without issues.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XXTRWBL/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For clear case, my recommendation would be the Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear or the Otterbox Symmetry Clear. The otterbox is slightly chunkier but not much.
As for a screen protector I've tried the Samsung official one and the Spigen Neo Flex.
The Samsung one is a dry application and therefore is extremely difficult to get on right without dust spots. I tried it on 3 different phones and didn't get either of them right, even with the dust removal sticker.
The Spigen Neo Flex is a wet application which is far better cause when it dries out it leaves no dust spots or air bubbles. But imo the corners aren't a perfect fit for most cases. Again I tried a few and even with Spigen cases the corners lifted on all of them. A little trimming of the corners with a scalpel solved this. This protector isn't as clear looking as the Samsung dry film but is of the "military material type" and so self heals with any minor dings and scratches. I'd trim the corners a little (follow the contour of the corner and trim off a mm or two) before applying this for best adhesion on all corners for a case. It def has a slightly different feel to screen but at rhe moment I think this is the best solution of at the moment to protect out precious S8 screens.
Hope this helps.

My mother and I have had the S8 since release. We have never had an issue with breaking the screens until this phone! The Zagg one on release day absolutely stunk as the adhesive was only on the curved part of the protector leaving the whole screen non responsive to our touch. Since then we have been daring and been going without one. Within the last 3 months my mother dropped her phone twice. The phone was replaced at a $149 deductible the first time. I refuse to pay it again until I can find a screen protector that works!
Please help!

As far as I know, having tempered glass only won't help when the phone drops.
For myself, I watched several people try drop testing S8 using rhino shield bumper case (can search on YouTube). I too, have one, but since I don't like the glass back getting smeared with fingerprint, I go to otterbox defender (a hefty one), and finally to spigen tough armor (the one I currently use).
For record, I have dropped my phone twice (forgot whether using defender or rhinoshield), without any tempered glass, and the phone is still working without flaw.

Neither is wasting money on cheaper versions that just don't work. If this one actually prevents screen damage without compromising the user experience then it's a good investment.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B074SJV133/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got these. There is about ~1mm gap between top and bottom edges clearance with spigen tough armor on. The sides of the glass are almost right on the edges of the case. I don't recommend using it without a case or with rhino bumper bc it doesn't go to the edges and feels weird bc of the extra gap. It does come with a tool that clips onto the phone to line it up perfect. I'm happy with it.
I'm using a Spigen case. I do have an S8 active, so the case is different, but Spigen makes great stuff

It may be a PET protector but it does the job and is super thin and case friendly. Another aspect is that it's cheap! 3 for 8 bucks and was easy to install.

What is the best Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy S8
I've always admired how my friend’s phone looked so seamless and smooth, it always fooled me thinking that his screen protector came with the phone when he purchased it. To my surprise, he installed it himself. Now I’m not a bad friend, but this guy can get excruciatingly stupid at times. I thought if someone as dense as him had managed to somehow not mess up with wet installation, how hard can it be?
I got the Ounier screen protectors, a squeegee, a tiny piece of cloth, a manual, and a small bottle spray solution. I’m the old-fashioned type, I never even knew that “wet installation” is actually a thing if not for my buddy. All these items looked so weird to me. I’ll never understand how people come up with this stuff but if it works, then it's fine with me.
Is the included clear case tempered glass screen protector friendly, or does it lift it up from corners? Any recommendations for screen protector? And if that included one is no good, also recommendation for clear case is appreciated.
im using the MOFI full screen tempered glass screen protector with the factory case without issue.... just too bad the MOFi looks like a oild slick in the middle of the screen otherwise it would be perfect
I bought a Spigen case which is, as usual, nice and protective.
For the tempered glass, i bought a Force Glass ($$$) which is really nice to touch without fingers trails, but finally it's ****. Like all the S8/S9 (not dome glass) it's only glued with the edges and not very well, so it'll become dirty fast . And if you look at it under a bright sun you don't see anything.
I don't recommend to buy this "way too expansive" Force glass! I regret it! 2$ glass will do a better job.
Am I not right in thinking this phone comes with a screen protector already on it.? Mine looks like it does, obv don't want to try and take it off in case it is one lol... Came with a clear case too
Cheap tempered glass + clear case (Huawei case)
I used the clear case which came with the phone as for tempered glass I used a cheap (£1.99) from eBay.
The tempered glass covers the screen almost perfect. It isn't edge to edge, but it is wide as the screen.
The glass hasn't got a good oleophobic coating, but is better than the plastic one and has adhesive on entire surface. (i would add a photo but I've got no clue how?

I've applied Zabra tempered glass (Amazon purchase) without any bubbles but after applying the Huawei clear case, edges came out, disabling my screen touch features.
Highly not recommended to buy this "Zabra full glue 9H tempered glass screen protector"
On of the best tempered glass for P20 PRO is Nillkin the hall series..
I have try Nillkin amazing H (3mm cover real screen leave 2mm at the edges case friendly) Nillkin amazing H+ (2,6mm cover real screen leave 2mm at the edges case friendly best clarity) & Nillkin CP-MAX 3D (3mm Full Cover edge to edge full adhesive full glue)
They are all fit perfect with excellent fit & clarity
No bubbles, no rainbow effect, no halo effect, no dot matrix, no fingerprints
I prefer CP-MAX 3D for full protection with original clear silicone case or ipaky case
I have bought the Spigen tempered glass screen protector and Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear case recently

whitestone is loca based and because of that full adhesive and it will be released in a week or so on amazon. great feel to the proctector, just like the original screen, no 3d dot matrix, no problems with touch sensitivity, almost no fingerprints and if they are gone with one wipe and so on.
i will get it asap since it's doing fantastic on my note 8 for over 9 months now.
i got the spigen rugged armour and i love it. Feels great in your hands. its like velvety soft. Using this with the stock screen protector, which i feel is sufficient for me
i just wish spigen released the ultra hybrid clear case with a built in kickstand for this phone.
I've never used a protector on my previous phones but opted for the Spigen and think it's great. Had it in five days now, doesn't get too messy from fingerprints and only issue with haloing was my fault, had to take it off a couple times as I want happy with how I put it on. Used it in direct sunlight and was amazed, after one Samsung and two Sony's I can actually read my phone outside"

I bought the Spigen Slim Armor case ( £15 ) and Spigen Tempered Glass ( about £8 ) and am very happy with both. I moved from Otterbox a few years ago when I couldn't see a decent case that I liked. I've had 4 Spigen cases for various phones so far and have never been let down to date
ESR products for me fits perfectly
It looks like there are not much good options for this phone (compared to my last one), I have ordered the spigen ultra hybrid (transparent) & tempered glass combo.
I'll post photos with the result
Do some regions not get an included case? I just bought this device yesterday in Canada and there was no case with it.
Spigen crystal clear case and Nillkin Amazing H+ for tempered screen. Trust me, this glass protector is the only one I have found to not retain fingerprints and to stick perfectly and evenly on the 20 pro. If you correctly align it with the edges of the screen, there will be no air pocket whatsoever. It's impressive.
Anybody know the brand of this screen protector and where I can get one? I'm most interested because, well, it's full screen and not just adhesive around the edge. But also the guy mentioned it works with the case I'm going to be using ( UAG ) .
