Did anyone already use this case? Hope I can get a review and suggest a compatible screen protector.
I've been a die hard life proof and otter box case user for years. I finally tried this case for the first time in the S8 and it blows those cases away. The case is the perfect balance of protection and minimalism.

what screen protector did you use?
I don't have a screen protector. I've tried about 8 of them and ended up returning them all
UB Pro and Otterbox Alpha Glass
Does anybody know if the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro case will be compatible with the Otterbox Alpha Glass for the Samsung Galaxy S8?? Any info will be appreciated. If not what works best with this particular case. Thanks

I got the Defender for the S7 and I actually like the case and it's rare but the screen protector actually fits pretty flush. Still not the best but improvement from past Defenders.
Anyways what is the Supcase/Unicorn Beetle like for the S7? I had one for the Note 5 and it was okay and had a great built in screen protector but the case felt kind of thin protection wise. Is the S7 one any good and offer good drop protection compared to the Otterbox Defender?

I just ordered one just now. I have the otterbox symmetry which is kind of thin but the supcase unicorn beetle had excellent reviews for the price and I miss using a holster. Will update once it comes in.
I have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle and definitely recommend it. It does not have a screen protector.

That's the edge one. I had it for the Note 5 and it's an okay case but it's thin and doesn't have a lot of padding like the Otterbox. The build quality on it isn't nearly as good as the Defender for the S7 and there are also some bad reviews about Supcase breaking and the phone breaking.
Alright I finally got the unicorn beetle pro or whatever it's called. The protection it offers is better then my otterbox symmetry. The built in screen protector is flush against the screen so touches are responsive. It's a great case but I would not recommend it because you are unable to swipe from off the screen to check your notifications of you're playing a game. Look elsewhere

Yea, my Otterbox Defender is like that too, a bit harder to swipe down. Not a huge deal though just takes a tad more effort. I had the Supcase for my Note 5 and yes the built in protector is great. I still might order it, don't know. It just doesn't seem to offer the level of protection the Otterbox Defender has for drops.
Poetic Revolution is a great heavy duty case too. It will be coming out on Amazon April 30th. Incipio has the Level 5 drop protection case coming out soon that looks better than the Supcase.
I have the unicorn beetle pro. it is a little difficult to swipe in from the sides, but can still do it. Swipe from the top is easy since entire notification bar is exposed. At first I had the phone without cover, so after I put in cover I had to redo the finger prints cause was difficult to read. Guessing the angle of the finger is just a tad different. I also like that it makes the phone bigger, easier to hold for me.

Has anyone had better luck than I at finding a case and screen protector, preferably one with a matte finish, that work well together on the S7 (non-edge)? I generally use Spigen cases as they are slim and slightly wrap around the front of the phone. However, this caused my first two screen protectors (both plastic) to bubble up around the edges and eventually peel off. The best was the Skinomi but it only lasted a few weeks longer than the first one I tried.
From reviewing most threads it looks like most people have either went the route of either a) skin + screen protectors or b) case + no screen protectors on their S7 due to slightly curved nature of the screen. But being as it's now September, I was hoping there would have been some better options to fully protect the phone. I'm hoping to hear if anyone has found a good combo.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found any matte screen protector that works with ANY s7 case?
No luck? I just put a Spigen Neo-Hybrid and immediately the BSE cover bubbled up.
The Tech21 matte screen protector works with my Tech21 cases, which have quite a lip, so I assume it'll fit other rugged cases too.

I use the tech 21 matte impact shield with a tech 21 impact tactical case. Really nice combo that work well together, but far from cheap!
I use goospery with screen protector and no problems

I paid £16 for mine here in the UK off ebay. They are very pricey but I am very happy with it. The anti glare makes such a huge difference. Equally it does feel like it will last.
The tactical case I got seems very rare to source here in the UK as well from anywhere other than tech 21. Ended up paying £30 for that!
In the kitchen bro
Before my Pixel I had an HTC One M8 with a Spigen Slim Armor. I ride a bicycle both on road and off road. I fell off my bike onto my right thigh pocket where my phone was and ended up denting the phone.
In my search the Otterbox Commuter/Defender seems to be the only options for true-heavy duty Pixel cases. If I get the Defender I would have to stop using my glass screen protector. The Commuter seems more reasonable, but ( as for any non-Apple/Samsung Otterbox) has only 2 color options and yes I know I'm being picky now.
Does anyone have any other recommendations for a good impact resistant cases? I don't think I'm ever not gonna carry my phone when I ride my bike, so I want a somewhat heavy duty case that can prevent the phone scenario that I previously described. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I had a Supcase for one of my phones before and I did not like the built in screen protector. When I took it off it ended up scratching my front glass display somehow. Also the back did not feel as rigid as the OtterBox cases.

Ah ok. The Spigen tough armor is great. It's one of my favorites. I currently have the rugged armor and love it

I'd totally recommend the UAG case with a Spigen tempered glass screen protector (If you're into screen protectors). I've dropped my Pixel a few times already with my UAG case and it survived. Used them on my last HTC M9 as well, no complaints!
I agree. The UAG with a tempered glass is a good combo to tackle those accidental drops. The UAG upper lip around the phone safeguards the phone really well. I have used the defender before, somehow the built in screen protector doesn't feel nice and dust keeps coming in. Another option would be the OtterBox commuter as you mentioned

YOUMAKER Slim Fit Full-body Rugged Heavy Duty Protection Cover Case for Google Pixel . It is dual-layer structure of premium shock-absorbing TPU and durable hard polycarbonate provide protection against accidental drops, bumps and shock. It is also belt clip holster provides an easy solution of carrying the device during travel and work.
UAG, Spigen Rugged, Orzly (Fusion, Great impact resistance but case prune to scratches), Have all the 3 cases UAG feels great also looks good on phone (Personal preference), Spigen no choice of colors, unless you buy their other series like slim armor blah blah but sturdy. I keep switching between Spigen and UAG, Use orzly occasionally for it glow in dark rim (Only with White).
I got a Lifeproof for my pixel. Best case out there. From now on when I upgrade phones, the availability of a Lifeproof case will be a strong consideration.
I went for the rhinoshield crashguard. It has impact resistance of 11 foot drops but is a bumper case so it leaves the fingerprint reader unimpeded. That being said, it wont stop bending or impacts directly to the glass, but I use it with a tempered glass cover.
It's been great for me because I feel comfortable filming from my skateboard or bike without worrying about having a wrist strap.

Hi, I've just bought a Lifeproof Fre for my Pixel. The flip camera gesture to swap in and out of selfie mode does not work with this case on, and neither does the "lift to check phone" one. Are you experiencing these issues too? And does the screen go black when making a phone call? (Can't end the call or do anything on the screen during call).

I'm not experiencing any of these issues with this case. Not even sure how a case would effect these things.
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

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
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.

This is CaliCase. They changed their name.
Get the elago case from Amazon. It's sooooooooooooo slim! It's .3 I believe and leaves you the flush look of the phone. Just need a decent screen protector now lol

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.

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.
Anyone know of a armor case that protects the front and the back? all i can find now is a back case.
spigen rugged armour is the best case

this its perfect to me , he has a tempered glass protector to.
Now it starting to look like something but I'm still looking for something that covers the whole phone, and is easy to put togheter and apart since I want to use it at work. I have a dirty job so..
I remember I've had a full armor case for my HTC one m8, it was waterproof and shock proof and it was like the phone was laying in a bed inside the cover. It was big, but that's ok since I could carry it anywhere at work.

I bought these from eBay for like £2 each. They are quite OK. Build quality is crap. Feels like cheap plastic and the phone doesn't look premium at all u line what you see in the images. The cut-out for the fingerprint reader curs off a small bit of the screen about 1mm.and the screen protector cracks very easy. Avoid like the plague especially at that price.
Just get a uag plasma case and put on tempered glass in front. :good:
