I currently have this case:
https://www.spigen.com/products/galaxy-s8-case-liquid-air
I like the case but I don't like how it wraps around the edges, I personally want something very minimal around the left and right and more substantial near the top and bottom. I was also looking for a case that lifts the screen to protect it from scratches.
I kind of liked the look of these, or this one, this however doesn't have anything to protect the screen at the top and bottom.

I really enjoy Imak Cowboy cases:

I used this which is even slimmer than the ones earlier in this thread, has side cut outs so you have direct contact with buttons, nice a slim but good protection especially on corners. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Surface-Excellent-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B06XP54BCW and here https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-s8/products/galaxy-s8-case-thin-fit?variant=30615746689
I would suggest you this one from Ringke:

I believe samsung's original clear case is slimest & strong enough to protect our phone.....use it since i bought S8.
Currently, I have 2 cases for my S8 which is Ringke Onyx and VRS Design Single Fit. Both of them are good enough to protect our S8 from everyday bumps, however I also plan to buy the SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE STYLE so I can show off my Maple Gold colour
I'm looking for a red silicone case, like the one apple makes for iPhones. Any suggestions?

I'm not usually one to use a cases on my electronic devices. I like my phones like I like my women, naked with a nice screen protector.
But since the G3 seems to be made of some of the most slippery plastic I've ever held, I dropped it a few feet the other day and slightly nicked the corner of it. So I'm looking for a very simple case, but as I said in the title, I'm picky.
It doesn't need to protect it all that much, but one thing I can't stand is when the case comes up over the edge of the screen. I'll use an example of a case that someone posted on the "Show us your case" thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3337032&d=1432863723
See that slight "rim" around the edge of the bezel? It bothers me, which is why the two cases I've already bought are sitting at home unused. I need it to be flush, or even recessed from the front of the phone.
Does anyone know of a fairly basic case that won't have anything protruding up around the edges of the screen? I'd love one of those official replacement back cases from LG, but they're apparently extremely rare. So other options would be great.
Thanks!
If you dislike cases why not just get a full body clear skin from Skinomi or Bodyguardz? I'd recommend the LG Slim Guard Case. It has a raised lip but is super minimal, almost flush with the screen. This case unlike other thin G3 cases offers full body coverage/protection. LG also has the Slim Hard Case however this case does not offer fully cover the phone. The Ringke Slim is another good case option. It does have a small lip. Check ebay for the OEM cases if you can't find them on Expansys
I'm looking for a case that attaches at the four corners and has a raised lip/bumper at the top and bottom of the phone to protect the screen when the phone is face down. Attaching at the corners provides drop protection since those are the most vulnerable spots on impact and being recessed at the sides will add minimal bulk when holding and using the phone without getting in the way of sliding in from the edges. In a nutshell, like the S7 edge cases, but for my S7 regular. I've spent hours browsing amazon, ebay, google and searching through forums and I'm hoping someone knows of a case with these features.
Starting from my Nexus 4, then my Sony Z3, then my G4, I've always had to settle or customize (cut) cases but I'm hoping I don't have to do that for the S7. Does anyone know of a case like I described?
Thanks!
Hi, I'd be interested in this too. I've done a lot of research but with no luck either. I suspect nothing like this exists for the S7.
I emailed Spigen and got this response.
Currently, we do not have definite plans to have cases with recessed sides for other cases.
However, we will definitely consider your interest and pass it along to our developers! Thank you for the suggestion.

I didn't get my hopes up. I'll continue to keep my eyes out, but have ordered the VRS Design Verge from amazon now. At $7, I don't mind cutting into it. The polycarbonate is recessed on the sides, even though the gpu doesn't. I'll be taking an exacto knife to it as seen below. I'll probably see how well the buttons still work and then try cutting it deeper to where I'll be accessing the original phone's volume/power buttons. I'll post pictures as I go along for anyone interested.
After trying over 10 branded cases my vote goes to Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262301410361
The Turata Slim Fit case has a minimal lip, but does not satisfy your criteria because it still covers the left and right edges:

It looks so good, have bought one
I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on a TPU Gel Case, I was looking for something with a low profile that still gives solid protection without blocking to much of the "edge" display.
I have seen a couple a couple from Spigen and LK that look promising, but was wondering if anyone has first-hand experience with a good case. The main things I want are
1. Grippy/Flexible TPU
2. Protection of the frame at top/bottom
3. Lots of lift on top/bottom or corners to give clearance if you lay the phone flat on the screen
4. Full access to screen (cover the least amount of edge function as necessary)
5. As thin a profile as possible with the other requirements

Does that Tudia case have any grip?
I'm looking for a S8 case that's like the Apple 7+ silicone case if you know how grippy those are.

Not familiar with those, but the Tudia has etched sides to add grip. Some others I have are smooth and can be a bit slippery. The Tudia feels great in the hand.

Okay, thanks. They are more like silicone than TPU and have awesome grip. They have a microfiber lining too so they don't leave marks, etc on the back of the phone. I'm looking for something like that if I can find one.
Nillkin nature, best case ever. If you give a try, you will use it in all your phones in the future. I used it with my last 3 phones.
Moreover, the case fixes the Fingerprint failed location issue. You will never touch your camera lens anymore.

I agree! I just received my Nillkin Nature case (clear) and it's the best! :good:
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I was looking for something with a style similar to the Nillkin, Silicone iPhone cases that you described.
I definitely like the idea of having the camera and sensors separated on the back. My one concern for the Nillkin is about screen protection. Is the lip on the top/bottom substantial enough to protect the screen?
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Nillkin-Nature-Clear-Samsung/dp/B06ZZBRNK2?th=1
I was also looking at this case which wraps over the top and bottom bezels and at least seems like it might give more protection, although it doesn't separate the sensors on the back
https://www.amazon.com/LK-Scratch-Resistant-Silicone-Protective/dp/B01N6RRU2D?th=1
Or this one which is similar to the Nillkin, but has more corner protection

i recommend the Ringke Fusin case.. its fit perfectully to all ur's demands.. im using it since i got my S8 (a month ago) and absolutly love it
1. Grippy/Flexible TPU
2. Protection of the frame at top/bottom
3. Lots of lift on top/bottom or corners to give clearance if you lay the phone flat on the screen
4. Full access to screen (cover the least amount of edge function as necessary)

If you put your phone face down with the Nillkin nature case, the screen doesn't touch the surface, so the lip on the top and bottom are enough.
But what I like the most of this case, is how are separated the camera and the Fingerprint sensor. The hole for the camera is so small that is no possible to touch the camera lens anymore (unless you have a very thin finger). On the other hand is the Fingerprint sensor hole so big, that your finger falls naturally in the right position, while without a case the 50% the times is touching the camera.
Between, if you have the midnight black version and you decide to get the Nillkin, go for the grey one. It looks awesome and much better than the clear one.
Hey guys, back again with a highly requested review from my previous threads!
I received both the Fusion Bumper case and the Slim Stand case from orzly the other day, and I really like them so far!
Fusion Bumper Case
The Fusion Bumper is one of Orzly's high end case, and it has become one of my favourite cases for the OnePlus 5 so far. It is as the name replies, A fusion Bumper aka a mix of a bumper case and a regular case.
The sides of the case are made of Rubber, which slightly wrap around the back. This, paired with the dotted sides where your hands rest allow for great grip and protection. The rubber is tough and after a few drop tests is still in great condition. The back is made of a clear plastic, but it isn't a gel type plastic it is the type which doesn't yellow, similar to the one used on last years OnePlus 3 fusion bumper which hasn't yellowed for me yet.
The back corners of the device feature little raised points, which not only helps keep the camera off of the tables, but it also allows for the clear black plastic to stay away from surfaces as to not get scratched up. There is a nice lip around the front of the screen, and all my ports line up. The dash cable and my aux cable still fit into the ports nicely, and none of the microphone holes are covered up.
On the volume buttons and power button there is the + and - symbols, along with the power symbol which I like as it shows attention to detail. Orzly also split the volume up and down keys to make it easier to diffrentiate them.
So far, I don't have a fault with this case. It does exactly what I need it to do, is protective, feels like high quality and has a clear back that won't yellow easily. Its grip is great as I won't drop it when taking pictures anymore. If any faults do pop up, I will be sure to update the thread . Pictures of the case can be found below!
http://imgur.com/a/wxLAi
Slim Stand Case
Now this is a slightly different case for a different sort of person. I used this case for about 8 days straight so I think I have a pretty good idea about it. It wouldn't be my sort of case, but I can see the use cases for it!
First off, the material on the slim stand case is really nice. Its sort of a soft touch rubbery feeling which provides a lot of grip. At the top and bottom there are antenna lines which mimic the ones of the OnePlus 5 design so it made my phone look like a midnight black version which was awesome!
The ports all line up nicely, and the little ring at the back rotates to allow for vertical or horizontal viewing when up which I thought was very useful. The ring can also be used while you are using the phone or taking a call and helps to make sure you won't drop the device! As the name implies, it is a slim case and it means it. It feels like (besides the stand) like there is not case on which is great!
As for protection, this case really only offers back protection rather then screen protection. Because it is a slim case the lip around the screen is minimal if not none and if you are looking for protection, this isn't for you.
I can see this case being useful for people who sit at a desk all day or go on train/plane journeys a lot as you could just easily access your screen. However it isn't the case for me as I prefer protection rather then slimness. I didn't really like how much the stand part stood out at the back when it was lying flat on a table as it made it not steady and rocked. However thats part of the parcel, and like the wallet case this is definitely for a certain group of people!

Slim Stand Case
Do you recommend buying the orzly fusion bumper case for 10$ here in india :0 i m quite perplexed what to get, as i gonna use a skin and i want a clear bumper case too.
Hey fellas!
I am looking for a premium looking case for my nexus 6.
My phone is white if it matters.
I did like a lot the Nilkin slim border, but its out of stock everywhere.
Also i have found this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Sli...hash=item41939eb983:m:m2afeTHn0qE_nI9hygZ9iVg
Black aluminum borders.
Besides that, im looking for something that will give me a nice grip yet still make the phone look elegant and aesthetic.
Thanks!
I have that. It looks okay, but the quality is crap. I got rid of it right away.
My favorite Nexus 6 case is this one:
Ringke FUSION [Dust Cap/Drop Protection][CLEAR] Shock Absorption Bumper. (Available on Amazon)
It adds minimal bulk and fits like a glove.
I bought this case about 6mo ago, and have been very happy with it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152687543728 (Not affiliated with the seller, just a happy customer)
Back is a clear, hard plastic (poly-carbonate?) and the "lip" is a firm TPU-type material. I've dropped it dozens of times with zero problems.
I've used the "S-shape" type cases for other phones in the past. A simpler, less "high-end" look, but they have tiny little "nubs" at the edges that give excellent grip. (Zoom in on pics to see):

I have this Ringke also and it is a good case, but I wouldn't consider it premium. It does provide adequate protection for minor bumps and falls. It has a large enough lip that my tempered glass screen protector doesn't scratch if I place the phone face-down on a table. The clear TPU yellows over time so it looks dingy though. Depending on how frequently you charge or use a headset, the dust caps can be annoying (of course they are easy to snip off the case if you like.)
Overall it is a very good case and the one I use most of the time, but particularly because of the yellowing of the clear plastic, I can't consider it a premium case.
I use a Spigen slim armor. Very nice looking and protects well. I had together it directly from Spigen though. I tried ordering one from a discounter and they send me a fake. It literally didn't even look like the real thing and lacked the kick stand and didn't even fit properly. They just printed Spigen on some random vaguly similar case and tried to pass it off.
Have had a number of cases over the years and I'm none rival the quality, feel, build, and just plain sexiness of the Seidio Dilex Pro. I'm the best kickstand case as the kickstand itself is metal as well as magnetic, it's also very sturdy. I went thru 2 Spigen Slim Armor kickstand cases after the plastic kickstands broke off then I discovered this beauty lol. Also rocking a Dbrand skin and no problems with the fit. Also the feel of the outside lip is great, more than enough to sit it face down, but formed and angled perfectly as to not in any way hinder using the screen. Seidio is also a big name company so the price is higher @ $29.99, over your run of the mill ebay cases, but as the famous saying goes, you get what you pay for lol.
https://www.amazon.com/Seidio-DILEX-Metal-Kickstand-Motorola/dp/B00S6TA3RW
Also might add that the way the metal kickstand is attached the area is flat which means sitting it on a table it will stay put instead of rocking back and forth lol. The butter shell of the 2 pieces is also covered (or made?) out of something that is pretty grippy, no slick plastic or rubbery TPU to deal with, using it for over a year in construction sites, factories, and other outdoor/dirty jobs it doesn't hold dirt or sweaty skin oils compared to others I've used, I wash mine bout once a month in hot water with dish soap and no warping, deforming, or most of all, fading, still black as the day I got it. And one last awesome thing that's soo small to be easily looked over but makes a huge difference when case makers don't do it is the side buttons, each one is individual, precision molded, and have a very satisfying feel when depressing them. It may be a tad bigger compared to bumpers or extremely thin shell cases which are barely a step up over a full Dbrand or (can't remember the other skin company) skin lol, I found myself loving the size, it's not full on OtterBox, but it still is thin enough to let me use it one handed which is whenever I'm doing anything but typing lol.
::Edit:: Oh yea, it comes in Black, Blue, Red, and White. Seidio also makes a Surface case with the metal kickstand as well and I'm sure it's just as high quality of a product I have not tried it myself and cannot attest to it's build, here is an Amazon listing tho if you would like to see it, it is one that includes a belt holster tho there are listings without the holster for cheaper.
