Hi all:
Does anyone have any suggestions for good screen protectors for the Tilt2 off of Ebay?
I know there are a number of name brand ones which are good, but I have an Ebay gift certificate, so I'd like to buy from there if possible. I can't seem to find any of the good name brand ones on ebay, so I was hoping someone may have tried one of the ones that are available on there.
Suggestions would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS: I am currently using the one that came with the phone, and I was happy with its quality, but it has gotten quite scratched up, quickly, so I need to replace it.

Extremely easy to apply, barely any bubbles/air pockets to be seen. My screen looks like it doesn't even have one on.
Or you could try this link. I ordered mine, but I didn't received them yet so I don't have pictures to upload, but they look sharp

I've always ordered screen protectors from Clarivue. The one I put on my Palm TX 4 years ago is still on it. They're durable.
As to ebay, the seller I've always used for clarivues is JHongs. They currently don't have protectors for the Tilt 2 listed, but the last time I asked them to list one they didn't have up, they happily did so.
Just message them, give them the link to the Tilt 2 clarivue (linked above), tell them you're ready to buy, you heard they would list it for you, and I'll betcha in 48 hrs your new screen protector will be on the way.
I bought ebay item #250541670275. It only cost $2.98, it shipped from California, and I had it within a week. They fit the tilt 2 VERY nicely, and I can't tell there's anything on the screen. Buy it!
Thanks so much to everyone who replied!
I will definitely be ordering one of the ones suggested in this thread.
Thanks again!!

I wouldn't call it bad, but in terms of durability it's lacking compared to clarivue or boxwave or some other name brands.
im To late
but your best bet would have been zagg. most of those cheap plasic one's only hold up for about 3 month or so. zagg hold up until u decide to take it off.
www.zaggs.com that the main site and there should be some on ebay also. i kno that you have a gift card.

Don't get this if you have a Tilt2. Just thought i'd give you a heads-up (it'sthe T-Mobile version).
If you still haven't purchased any scrren protector, you must have a look at this, although it's not on ebay it's very cheap and offers full body protection.

If it's not cheap enough use 20% discount cupone PPCSG20
I have excellent experience ordering from Amazon and HIGHLY recommending this seller - Eforcity. (I've ordered 3 protectors for my CDMA and got 8 in the package - someone was pissed to my bennefit )
Anyone using the anti-glare protector? Does it really reduce fingerprints like they are saying?

They say "scratch proof", but 3 of mine scratched.
Also, those "invisible shield" ones leave weird residue that does go away after a while, but it gets annoying.
After trying 3 types of screen protectors, I would HIGHLY suggest the regular scratch proof ones. They really work and the bubbles went away after a night of having it on.

Generally an anti-glare protector has a matte finish and generally the crystal clear ones are glossy. That's the distinction that matters in regards to fingerprints -- any glossy surface is going to be print-astic and hold on to finger oils with the jaws of life.
I have a clarivue anti-glare, and it is definitely more resistant to prints than the stock HTC protector was. But it's not magic, or even oleophobic, it's just an ordinary matte surface.
I also recommend a decent brand like boxwave or clarivue above some no-name protector if you want to be sure it's going to be durable. I used the same clarivue for 4 years on my palm TX and it was in a 100x better shape than the stock HTC protector was after a couple of weeks.
I usually use PPC Techs WriteShields but they don't have them yet.
I hate the Zagg ones, there a bad joke.
I don't care for ones that use liquid to put them on, I never had trouble putting ones on perfectly without liquid.
Is the EVO 3D have the exact screen size of some other phones already out.
I may just wait for PPCTechs but the ones that used to be included with Sprint Phones were very similar and quite good.
Does Sprint sell them for this phone?
Looks like Sprint does sell them. $14.99 2 Clear, 1 Anti-Glare plus $6.50 ship !!
I Found theexact part on EBay for $10.00, $2.00 to ship
I searched for ZCH5009V on Ebay.

i alsways use seidio for my screen protectors
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/spm1hev3d.htm
there not rubbery like zag
pretty easy to put on
no water needed
cheaper the most
and there slick once u start using them so ur finger doesn't stick when swiping sliding playing games etc
if in doubt buy the 2 pack its only like 15$ for two worse case u mess up first one and have an extra one left
also if ur really bad with em take it in to sprint or bestbuy with just the screen protector and ask em to put it on and they'll do it saying "its a gift for mom" or something im sure they wont care
Boxwave are simply the best screen protectors, bar none, in my opinion. I've used them all, and nothing comes close.
I ordered this one works great looks great. Covers the whole front glass, screen. Give it a try

That link didn't work.
If you want to order some matte and some clear you can get them directly from the seller on his website. Save on shipping.
Don't chose the free shipping. I don't know what happened but it took over a week for my order to get from FL to TX. He shipped them the next day after I ordered but it took forever. Definitely a USPS problem.

I have used Steinheil for all of my phones. Ordered these and got them yesterday:
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Screen-Pr...QNJQ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1310872807&sr=8-5
Installed it today, super easy. Very clear protector, you can't tell it is on. Adds a nice feel to the screen, and the oleophobic coating on the protector makes fingerprints and other gunk wipe off easily without need for a cleaning cloth or something of the like.

I have used boxwave screen protectors too. They are 2nd to none. But, 3vos protectors are not listed on their website, yet.
I like Steinheil screen protectors. Bought the Ultra Crystal and installed it on my 3D and it looks awesome. Can't notice I have it one and to me its durable. Worth every penny.

I'm also using the Seidio one on mine... it's great. Another good one to look at is Martin Fields... even comes with a sheet for the rear camera glass.
I bought the Ultra Clear Steinheil for me and my fiance's phone and love it. Can't even tell it's on.

agreed!
unfortunately, Boxwave doesn't have one available for the 3d yet, so I went with Clarivue, which are just as nice...
it should be mentioned that the Boxwave/Clarivue screen protectors are hard plastic type, giving a very smooth screen feel
I've been using the "Cellett" brand from Fry's.
Whopping $4.99
You cannot tell it's there, perfectly clear, not sticky when dragging finger across, and (from previous phones) I know they last years if installed correctly.
Yea, the Zagg ones from worst buy or wherever blow.
FYI, I bought the Sprint ones.
They stink.
They scratch VERY easy even though they are the hard smooth clear plastic type.
And they do not cover the whole screen.
This is just a placeholder!
Car Charger
Anyone bought a car charger for the SGP5 that charges? I discovered not all micro USB chargers are created equal. I have a .7A wall charger that came with my Galaxy Player, and a .7A wall charger than came with my Optimus-V. Both say 5V with micro USB. The Optimus charger won't switch the Galaxy Player to charging (just keeps discharging). The car charger I have for my Optimus works fine on the phone, but also does not charge the Player.
Does Samsung have an extra wire or two in their chargers? Just want to buy a good car charger for the Samsung (and don't want to have to return it). This is my Optimus charger: http://www.amazon.com/Retractable-C...2C0W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1324098638&sr=8-1
I think I might order this for my Player: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324098713&sr=1-7

I do have one of them (the aqua black color) it's the best case I have owned. It's sillicon but it's not sticky because its a mix of sillicon and TPU.
It looks like their status has gone from preorder to selling. I was going to post the Amazon link but I don't have enough posts to add links. Search Amazon for Rearth Ringke Galaxy Player

Coincidentally I just received the Riot Outfitters case today. It is a MINIMAL case. No protection for the top and bottom corners. About all it does for me is make it a bit easier to hold the device. With your thumbs up of that Rearth case, I'm going to order one of them.

Can you elaborate on "So except the hole in the top"?
What hole does it have or not have?
(thinking about it for my galaxy player 4.0)
Also..
Re: car chargers..
I recently bought a car charger for my original nook,
that plugs into the lighter, and the USB plugs into that.
I tried it on my Galaxy Player, and it works great!
Got it from Barnes n Noble for like $20+ish.
Really want to get a case for this though. lol
I just got the Zagg InvisiShield for the screen, and its awesome stuff.
Perfect fit to.

Well the korean version of the galaxy players have a DMB antenna (for the TV) so the case needs an hole for the antenna. (you'll dont notice it at all after a few use with it.)

Hi,
I originally got the gel case I mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389081
I got one of Riot cases for Christmas, from my family (a little early ), and although I didn't really like it, because of the lack of protection mentioned above, I was obliged to try it.
That lasted for about a day, then I went back to the gel case.
The main reason was that I noticied that when I played some games in landscape, the games were constantly going to "resume". I'm guessing that it was because the Riot case doesn't provide much isolation at the bottom edge when in landscape, and between the metal band around the SGP5, and the narrow bezel area between the edge and the capacitative screen, it was causing this.
So, I switched back to the gel case, and the problem's gone.
I also got a cheap protector when I bough the gel case off of Ebay, and I was obliged to try a Zagg protector (again, for Christmas). That lasted even less time than the Riot case.
I really hated the tackiness of the Zagg protector, especially when doing things on the screen that required smoother movement. With the Zagg protector, my finger kept jumping/skipping, esp. when I played games. I did some googling, and this seems to be a common complaint with the Zagg protectors.
So, I'm back to the cheap Ebay protector also.
Just my observations...
Jim
When I first installed the zagg shield,
I also thought it was more "tacky" than it should be.
Wasn't sure about it for the first couple days.
But now it's been on there for a week or so,
and it's really no different now than when the shield was off.
Not tacky anymore, fingers not jumping or skipping,
and i just glide across it nicely, just as i did the original screen.
So, while the zagg shield was questionable to me for a few days after installing it..
It really does work quite nicely now!
Nice and smooth/slick just like the actual screen.
I bought this car charger, just go it, works well: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-...7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1324098713&sr=1-7

Bought this "Sleeve" that is very functional (and protective): http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-...GEOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1325036022&sr=8-1

Yes! Got my case today!
Ordered it 3 days ago, and just got it, and it fits perfectly!
Very happy/impressed with it!
Now Im "fully" protected.

How does that fit?
there's no holes/ports for the speakers?
or does the 5.0 have only one speaker in the front, on the opposite side?
Looks cool, but doesnt have the proper holes, at least not for my 4.0
edit: nevermind..
I see that the 5.0 does indeed have different placements. mybad
@rasall, how much thicker does it make it? Is it really worth $20 for a silicone case? It does look nice, but my device seams thick enough already without a case. Also ghost armor now has screen protectors for the galaxy players, fyi.

Not much thicker at all.
I just measured it with the case on and it's still only 2.5 inches across from side to side.
It really was worth the $20, for me anyway.
$20 to add some decent protection to a $240 device , I find worth it.
As Im sure you know..
there are not really a whole lot of cases out there yet for these players..
So one that fits perfectly, adds protection, and gives it some extra grip, is worth it to me.
It also makes it feel super nice!
Like it gives it some more 'stability''.... er something. lol
I'm not aware of "ghost armor" ,
But I have a Zagg invisishield on and I love it. Perfect fit, and one of the best quality materials Ive seen.
Plus, it has a lifetime guarentee.
If it gets damaged, they replace it for free.
Ghost-armor is a screen protector similar to zagg but uses static cling rather than adhesive and is therefore reusable if you have to take it off. From what I have seen they are pretty much indestructable (I saw someone demonstrate by grinding his iphone 4s across diamond plated steel - not so much as a hairline scrach!). You can also get nice looking carbon fiber skins. They also have lifetime warranty. They are pretty expensive, though ($25-30), and my $2 xtreme guard from ebay is working great, so I guess I'll wait.

How is the xtreme guard? I have the cheap clear guard LCD screen protectors from eBay, and they scratch and attract fingerprints too easily. I wanted to get the xtreme guard, but I was afraid they would be tacky and sticky to touch because they are the kind that need water to install. So are they tacky like zaggs?

It was a bit of a pain to install correctly, but not to bad if you use soapy water. It was really hard to use the first couple days, but after a while it broke in and is smooth as can be. It is exactly like zagg, so if you don't like zagg it might not be for you, but it isn't sticky at all to me. If you scratch it, it just goes away after some use, pretty nice for how cheap it is. One more thing - the rear protector is absolute junk, if you can get just the front protector without the back, do so.
Just got my first screen scratch on my new Rezound yesterday and have been kicking myself ever since. I've used screen protectors in the past on my tablets, but I personally didn't like the way they felt. They felt plasticky and cheap, whereas the glass screens were so smooth and premium-feeling.
My question to you, the Internet, is about screen protectors. Which one do you like most? Which one feels most like glass/is least noticeable/etc.?
(I searched, but most of the recommended ones in other threads are not produced for the Rezound yet.)
I havent found any legit ones on ebay yet. I like the rubbery film protectors not the hard plastic ones. My favorite for the Inc1 and 2 was the NakedShield. Those were awesome. Couldnt even tell there was anything on it.
I bought one from ebay by "xtreme guard" and it was awful. Pretty good materials but terrible shipping. I got several replacements from him because he ships them alone in an envelope and they come stuck to the side and rip when taken out. I told him several times and attempted to send him pictures of me opening the envelope and seeing the destroyed product but he didnt care
I have one from verizon that I got when I purchased the phone and it's ok, but I have used the seidio ultimate screen guard on every phone I've had since the Evo 4g on Sprint and I really like the feel of them. It's really clear, goes on easy and doesn't feel sticky. I would recommend them.
http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-rezound-screen-guard-protector-p/spm1htrzd.htm
I like the rubbery kind cause they don't scratch or mar.
I use the Ghost Armor brand.
It's crystal clear.
Smooth but not plastic feel.
Some people talk about orange peel effect, for me I only see it if I hold the phone at extreme angle. I never see it or feel it in actual use.
The Ghost Armor seems to be more finger oil resistant than nakedd or the plastic static screen protectors.
And with Ghost's you get life time replacements for your device.
They also have kiosk in malls, where they do installs and replacements.
Yeah $5 replacements and $20 for initial product and install. Ebay protector costs $2 and does the same thing plus I don't have to stick it in an oven or coat it in water.
anybody find one that covers the whole screen including the camer, LED and light sensor?
I've been using (and loving) Skinomi. Yeah, with that name it sounds like it should be sold in a sex shop, but it's a fantastic screen protector. It feels like the bare glass, is crystal clear, and can be put on easily.
You know, now that I think about it, maybe it SHOULD be sold in a sex shop...

Well that's one way to look at it. My previous phone I put the full body Ghost armor on myself, went like 9 months, no case, then it started to peel around the edges got it re-skinned for 5 and it lasted another 18 months until I got this phone.
I tried those static protectors and I just don't like the feel, and they get smudges galore.
E-bay may have something just as good or better but I don't know what it is, and don't have the time to waste buying from a bunch of different places. There's probably a thousand choices on eBay, but I have no clue which is good or if they are even consistent with what they sell. They may be getting screen protectors from several manufacturers.
I'm not certain, but I thought the 5 buck replacement is only if you have it re-installed at a kiosk?
I picked up the clear Halo ones off of Amazon, and am really happy. Don't like the rubbery Zagg ones, and don't like the anti-glare ones as they seem to mess with the clearness of the screen.
I bought the clear Verizon ones when I picked up the phone, and while they are clear, they scratch very easily.
I've had the Halo ones for about a week. They are just as clear, and haven't scratched yet. They fit better than the Verizon, a bit wider so they cover edge to edge, but not quite tall enough. (When you install them, start at the top)
http://www.amazon.com/Halo-Screen-P...ZBEI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327964467&sr=8-1
so far the Seido ultimate screen guards have satisfied me, as clear as the glass, no distortions at any angle... I do recommend!
Just got a second one from "Clear Freak" on ebay. He sent me one for the wrong phone. So I'm having no luck with eBay protectors. I trimmed it to fit but wouldnt advise it. I do tint all day so it came pretty easy to me
Pretty happy with the one that came with my otterbox. tried the Zagg but didnt get along with that one.
I have the REALOOK Crystal Clear one. works very well and no distortions. fits the front plate perfectly from edge to edge. It covers the capacitive buttons, camera hole, and proximity sensor.
Applied in a steamed bathroom and result had no air bubbles.

Not a good idea. Had several people call in with water damage on their phones and I had to tell em tough luck. Doesn't matter if it actually has water damage just if the external or internal sticker turns pink

I just got in my Boxwave Crystal Clear today and it fits over the entire glass top to bottom with a cutout for the front facing camera. I had one on my Dinc for 2 years and it was great--got very view scratches--and I like the feel on the screen. They are expensive but can be removed, cleaned, and replaced.

I've had these for about a month, and they're the best. It still feels like you just have the glass on it still, and it really does cover every part of the glass area. You honestly forget there's anything on it.

I love my ZAGG protector. They're difficult to put on, but it's worth it. Had one for the DInc and it lasted the entire two years until my upgrade, and is still currently on there! I don't get the rubbery feel that others mentioned, mine is smooth as a baby's bottom.

Press your fingernail into the black area above or below the screen. You will see it is not hard like the bare glass. That small bit of give is what is being described. The static screen protectors don't have that.

I've had these for about a month, and they're the best. It still feels like you just have the glass on it still, and it really does cover every part of the glass area. You honestly forget there's anything on it.

I agree, REALOOK Screen Protectors are good quality. It covers the entire face, with anti-glare and anti-fingerprint qualities...
I've been using a heavy duty case with built-in screen protector on my phones for the last few years. Because of the nature of my work having the screen protector built into the case is important, I only use the case at work and I hate using stick on screen protectors on my phones since they're not needed for normal use. I've been trying to find a heavy duty case with built-in screen protector for the S8+ but they all come without the screen protector, I'd guess it's because of the curved screen. Does anyone know if there will eventually be versions that come with the screen protector? Or if there are some cases with the screen protector that I haven't found yet?

Lifeproof has their case and it's waterproof, but expensive @ $80! Also, you can look at the Love Mei cases and can buy them from ebay or amazon. :good:

I have good experiences with love mei powerful and otterbox defender cases on past phones.
the otterbox defender is a plastic hard case with an additional silicone case wrapped around it, and an integrated plastic screen protector.
the otterbox usually also comes with a clip that can be used as a holster or kickstand.
the love mei powerful is basicly a DIY kit for making your phone an "active" model.
it's a metal case with a silicone bumper sandwiched between the front and back plates, held together by screws.
the screen protector is glass glued to the front metal plate, and all holes are covered or sealed to offer basic splash and dust resistance.
if you're looking for a case you only use for work and take off at home i'd recommend the otterbox, it's the easiest to take off.
Otterbox Defender doesnt have a built in screen protector!!! Per Otterbox website

Can confirm it does. I have it, it definitely feels like a sturdy commuter or a unicorn bettle case
No it doesn't. I have one too.

I have the otterbox defender for the S8 (not the +). I can confirm that the otterboxes for both the S8 and S8+ DO NOT have built in screen protectors. While every previous versions of these cases did, and they gave no indication prior to the release date of the phone that they wouldn't (including on their website when they started shipping them, I preordered mine when I ordered my S8), the new version "is screenless to allow full use of the curved screen", and otterbox tells you to buy one of their alpha glass screen protectors at $50/pop if you want a screen protector.
If you check Otterbox's website you'll see the myriad of 1-star reviews for their S8 cases over this issue, as they basically bait-and-switched everyone who preordered the Defender, and are now saying "Give us more money to have your screen protected."
I'd steer clear of the Otterbox for that reason. If you don't need the holster, the Lifeproof is probably your best way to go. If you do need the holster... Well then, I don't know what to tell you. Perhaps an Otterbox with an added screen protector, though the ones I've tried don't fit well. Or get the Lifeproof and add a belt clip to it. The one Lifeproof sells has some mixed reviews, but you can probably aftermarket add one that would work, or just use an old fashioned holster-type slip case.
Anyone can recommend me any cases for the S8, with a built in screen protector? All the ones you mentioned here are not released yet. Plus I've done research before the S8 released, and the day the S8 released, and I was unable to find any cases with a built in screen protector, that wss already released. All the info I can get is greatly appreciated!

I just came across Punkcases this morning. They have a few different versions of cases. One of them has a built in screen protector, and is certified water, snow and dustproof, and also military grade. I just purchased mine this morning a few minutes ago. I thought I would share here, since you're also in need of a case with the built in screen protector.
The reviews on their website, for this specific case, seems to be very good. I have yet to try one out myself though. But as soon as I receive mine I will let you know how it is. I chose expedited shipping when I ordered this morning. By the way, I already broke my S8 while in an OtterBox Defender case, and had to get a replacement from insurance(arriving today). But to me, OtterBox cases are complete BS, and the case broke in one day. Not to mention, after the S8 and the OtterBox case both broke. My dog got a hold of the OtterBox case and was able to rip off the side bumpers, and rip the case in half, in literally seconds. That's how bad, and crappy Otterbox cases are, that they're able to rip in seconds! It's supposed to be very durable and resist a lot! I honestly thought it would be tough as nails, and resist a dog messing and biting with it for awhile before it got damaged! Not seconds!
But I leave you with a link here on the bottom, directly to the case I purchased. which has a built in screen protector.

My S7 edge just got bricked last week and so, having nothing to lose, I thought I'd test the case. It's an Otterbox. I'm not sure of the name but it's fairly thin looking. I was honestly expecting poor results but throwing it about 2m high and 3m forward onto cement left it without a scratch. I did it about 7 or 8 times.

Looks interesting but I can't see on the website how you install it. It also looks like you would have to disassemble it whenever you need to change the SIM or MicroSD. I travel abroad every month or two and have to change my SIM every time.
When you have it, can you also check if it is wireless charging friendly?

I'm waiting for it to arrive to me. But it is already released. It should be here any business day now.
Otterbox Defender with Screen Protector Available in the UK?
This is my first time here... I found this thread because I too, am searching for the best of the best case for my Galaxy S8.
I was sitting on a flight from the UK to New York 3rd week of June 2017, next to a woman who had an Otterbox Defender for her Galaxy S8 and it had a Otterbox OEM built in screen protector. The quality of the plastic appeared to look and feel like the same plastic they have always used in the defender model.
I had previously read the threads from various sites on this case because I have always used the defender since my galaxy S about 7 phones ago and was going to upgrade my S7 to the S8 soon. I was actually searching for case info while on the flight. Anyway, I had read that the new Defender for the S8 came without screen protection.
I had a discussion with her and she told me that bought the case at a street shop in Glassgow that sold many things other than phones so it was not a dedicated phone store. I howevr, have not been able to locate one even on international websites. There is no mention of this on Otterbox's website and I neglected to ask her how long ago she bought it.
Could it be that this is another "Not In America" thing? Any light anyone can shed on this would be helpful! I received my S8 yesterday but have not yet ordered a case for it.
I got the Punkcase waterproof (Studstar) for my S8. Firstly, I just wanted to mention the customer service I received from Punkcase - it was pretty bad. I ordered the case, two weeks later still hadn't received anything, and no updates. So I found another waterproof case that looked pretty similar on eBay, ordered that and asked to cancel the Punkcase. They sent me a message saying the case was very popular and backordered, and thanks for your patience, but they didn't cancel it. Almost two weeks later still no case, and no word, so I emailed them again and told them to cancel my order (again), since it hadn't been shipped and was almost a month since my order. They immediately (within an hour) sent me a tracking number saying it had been shipped, but no apologies or communication, and no cancellation. However, the tracking number was just that, a number - it hadn't been shipped at all, and wouldn't be for another week. They just created a tracking number to prevent me from being able to cancel the order. Pretty dishonest.
I finally received the case, and really it's just ok. It feels cheaper than the $40 I paid, and certainly if I'd paid the regular price of $80 I would have been pissed.The one I got off ebay for $15 was about the same quality. It is definitely water proof, and has the screen protector, but there is a bit of a gap between the cheap plastic protector and the screen, the case adds enormous width and I feel like a face down drop would absolutely not protect the screen enough to prevent a shattered screen. I'm going to use it for a while, but keep looking guys, the Punkcase is not the one.
Ghostek Cases?
Does anybody here have any experience with Ghosttek Cases?
More specifically this one: http://www.ghostekproducts.com/phon...f-protective-case-cover-ghostek-nautical.html ?
I have the pelican voyager for the s8 plus and it comes with a removable built in screen protector and a belt clip.. some of the reviews weren't great but I took a chance on it and liked it just fine
I had the nautical. Its a good case for 40 dollars.
I now have the lifeproof fre and ill say from having both the fre is definitly worth the money.
I didnt even want to test the nautical under water....the lifeproof works great under water.
The nautical is bulky
The lifeproof is slim... about perfect... only downside is the screen protector has a very small rise off the screen... not a deal breaker tho.
Hope this helps
S8 Clayco Hera Series https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XJ3L7FL/
I don't think I have seen this case mentioned, but it seems to be a good middle ground between something like a life proof and one of the cases more meant for further waterproofing. The reviews on the S8 version really bash it for the screen protector losing a lot of touch sensitivity, but in my experience it isn't that much- just the occasional key stroke. Meanwhile the S8 Plus version is well reviewed. Overall I like it and use it, although not all the time only when I am doing something where I really need the protection such as hiking or going to the bar and having a few.
Edit: Looks like the one I bought is out of stock and they are coming out with an updated one: https://www.amazon.com/Clayco-Updated-Version-Full-body-Protector/dp/B073TRVKKK/

I disagree. Life proof sux. There is like a 1mm strip of foam in the middle of the case and that is the extent of drop protection. I have both defender with alpha glass and lifeproof. Lifeproof feels like a trinket from a quarter machine at the grocery store compared to defender. I have gone through 5 or 6 alpha glass protectors and the new ones are better but still not a perfect fit. Call the warranty line for whichever case u want and u can get it for like $5. Both of these cases have lifetime replacement warranties.
