Any case with a built-in non-adhesive screen protector? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories

I normally don't use a case or a screen protector, but I'd like to use both when riding my bike off road. Is there a case that can protect the phone from a crash yet be easy to put on and remove?

Last bike I bought came with a small bag that had a clear pocket on top to put the phone in.

Ghostek Nautical for the S8
Try looking at the Ghostek Nautical Series for the Galaxy S8. I have one and they're durable, as well as easy to put on.

I have a Lifeproof case on mine, it's a case but it's waterproof.

Thinnest Case That Protects Screen Edge?

I just upgraded from the Skyrocket to the Note yesterday. I had the Seidio Active combo on my Skyrocket. It's a great case, but it was a little bulky and the rubber was too grippy for jeans.
I'd like to find the thinnest case possible for the Note, but I want something that protects the screen edge with a slightly raised portion. The Gorilla Glass is harder to break than normal glass, but it can be broken and it scratches just as easily.
Some of the slim cases I have seen don't offer the screen edge protection, like the SPG and the Elago. Any ideas? Maybe I should just get a bumper case.

I use the Rearth Ringke slim and like it. The only raised part is on the corners, though, so you may not like it. The sides are largely uncovered.

Paying $25 for that case is just foolish.
I bought this one for $7:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WHITE-GLOSS...802561?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3371d03501
Its not that thick, its cheap and its secure.
The Boxwave Unicolor case is pretty thin. I also like that it combines TPU for the edge to protect the corners but uses hard plastic on the back to allow it to easily slide in and out of pockets. I always find TPU is just too sticky for the entire case. One added perk: The back plastic is see-thru so the phone still looks pretty stock if you like that look.
On Amazon for like $14. I think you can find other manufacturers of the same case on eBay for cheaper, but I jus tuse Amazon because it's easier. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
I got a clear TPU case, both form and function are just fine. It comes up and over the edge of the screen just enough to add some protection, and easily slides in and out of all my pockets, and my jeans don't hang off of me I got it from this guy for just $1.99 delivered.

Having used Barely There cases in the past, I'd say this is just as thin, same quality, and much cheaper.

I would have to agree. I usually take off the case after a few months. The thinnest case I found is .2mm from this guy.

I don't think the Barely There cases allow you to lay the phone face down without scratching the screen.

I think this one may be the slimmest, but it doesn't look like it allows you to lay the phone face down either.

This case looks promising as long as it doesn't stick in my pants pocket. For $1.99, I can afford to try it out.

As I said in my post, the Elago does not protect the screen edges.
I really don't think any of the ultra-thin cases have screen lip protection. I have the Elago, but rarely use it. Find a slightly bigger case that does and make the compromise. I love the Zenus Air Capsule. It has a screen lip, has a kickstand, hard plastic so it slides in and out of pocket easily and is less bulky than the Speck, Casemate and most of the other "mid" protection range cases. Just my 2c!

I have never used the Barely There case or Elago but in the screenshots on amazon of that elago case, it looks like the bottom is unprotected. Is that how the Barely There case is as well? I currently use the RearthUSA Slim case which I like but it seems a little too think. I would like to get something thinner!

Heavy Duty "Active Cases" for Pixel?

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.

S8 Ultra-thin case? (Peel-like case)

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.

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.

Case which doesn't mess up the protector

I am using a Gadgetshieldz screen protector on my S7. I am looking for a case/back cover something like this-

just to cover the back part of the phone and to get some grip. I have ordered like hundred's of cases from different websites but they mess up the protector eventually. Can you guys please suggest any case which won't mess up the protector? The thickness of the case don't matter as I just need it for the grip.
Thanks
I literally just went to Walmart and got the 2 layer and also the 1 layer protection case from bodyglove. For just that reason. Protect the sides and back but don't mess up my protector. It leaves a slight gap between the screen protector and the case so it will never mess it up. Perfect for me. And wireless charging still works. The cases are cheap and do exactly what I want.

I ordered more cases in the meantime and the result was the same. I saw someone having a s8 and his case having edges only on the top and bottom. The sides weren't having any protection. Are those kinda cases available for the s7?

If you go to Walmarts website and search for s7 cases or s7 bodyglove cases it's probably the 2 cheapest ones they sell haha. They are super thin and like silicone. Perfect for me. I'll try to get pics with the phone in the case tomorrow.

Unfortunately Walmart in my area is not selling the same. But if I get the photos I can ask the sellers on eBay to arrange a case like that for me. Will wait for the photos. I tried a case last night also and it was crap. The cases that they have for the s7 edge in which the sides don't have any case protection just the lower and upper part of the phone, I am eyeing that for the s7.

I use the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle - it is a combination grip-case and snap-in holder (the case snaps into the holder, which clips on). The audio and power jacks have covers, but they can be uncovered to access those jacks - that means that the cover can be left on. The sides are neoprene, and the back and holder are hard plastic (all in basic black). $12.99 USD @ Amazon.

I like my Speck Candyshell case. It's stout enough to offer good protection, while still being pocket friendly. It's kind of a pain to insert/remove the phone since it's a very tight fit, but it doesn't interfere at all with my Walmart brand tempered glass screen protector.

Agam it is good considering there is no tempered glass alternative but one thing I would like to suggest you my brother please do not go for any kind of cover from the market because I have tried like millions of them and every cover will eventually mess up your screen protector and the strips on the sides. Bottomline do not use any cover if you are using gadgetshieldz protector.

Oh I was worried about that, I think you should install a skin at the back. Like a leather or sandstone one.
If you find a good tempered glass for s7 in india, do mention it. Since Samsung had the offer of 1 yr screen replacement, I'm braving it without any screenguard right now.

I have installed the complete set of Gadgetshieldz which covers the phone 360 degrees. There is no tempered glass for these curved/fully curved phones, period. I would suggest you to install GS protector. It will be better than having no protector at all.

After 3-4 months of use, the rubber is still perfect. Since I live in the Arizona desert, there's sand everywhere, so there are many tiny scratches on the rear glossy plastic. If you're not in an area where literally everything is coated in a fine, abrasive sand, I have a feeling the plastic would probably show considerably less wear with normal usage. All in all, I've been very satisfied with the Candyshell. For a $7 clearance item I found at Walmart, I think I got a steal.

What Case is everyone going with for their S20 Ultra?

Just wanting to see what all cases everyone is getting for their S20 Ultra. I am debating on getting the UAG Monarch Series case again. Their really good cases and not bulky at all.
I've preordered the Samsung Protective Standing Cover along with the phone.
I've also ordered a Zizo Bolt.
I used to like UAG Monarch, UAG Plasma and Otterbox Symmetry cases, but they offer very little drop protection at the bottom lip, which is loose.
Also thinking of getting the Speck Presidio Grip and Gear4 Battersea.
I work in a factory environment so defender/whitestone all the way...
I'm trying to find one that will a) have built-in magnets for magnetic mounting (want them built-in so there's no bulge from inserting a flat one between the case and the phone so it lies flat on it's back), and b) have those magnets in a place where it minimizes disruption to wireless charging. The only one I was able to find for my S9 was by Pitaka (with their own magnetic mount, which makes sense since the magnets are in a non-standard location), but the case had an issue where the top/bottom/side lips wouldn't extend past the front face to protect the screen from lying flat on it's front on a desk.

Using Pitaka in the car daily, so I want that option ti stick it to my magnetic Qi charger in the car.
Latercase for me. Probably the DBrand case and skin also
I'll go with the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Slim enough not to be embarrassing, but offers drop protection. Gone are the days of OB Defender, UAG, etc. Second option would be the SupCase Unicorn Beetle.
I also buy the QuadLock case for the Summer, to use with my bike.
Black leather offical from their site. Although most of the time I don't use a case even though I should. But given the hefty price tag it probably will be wise to keep it on

The (Samsung) black leather case was nice from the S10+ series. Got an open box from Best Buy for $29 in perfect condition although the package looked like Flossy opened it! LOL. The silicone IMO was junk!
The rugged (Samsung) case is great, the kickstand comes in handy. I have one on my S10 5G and Note 10+ and will be picking one up for the S20U.
I may splurge and get the Pitaka for the S20U as the pics I've seen with the phone in it just look plain sick!
I'm gonna start with the Caseology Parallax and Spigen Neo Hybrid for now. Got them both on the way!
Spigen Rugged Armor, already in hand lol
Been using S-view cover on N10+ since September, it does great screen protection job, don't want anything else for my S20 Ultra. Scratch protection 24/7 and a piece of mind when the phone is being put into or taken out of jacket or pant's pockets. My N+10 screen still has a 'mint' looks even after 6 months of use w/o any protective film, I peeled that off right after getting it.

I don't see an s-view cover for the Ultra on Samsung's website. S20 and S20+ have it.

Well, when I was writing my previous post I just assumed that they will have S-view case for S20s, most Samsung phones have it and now I found it, they don't list the price yet:

Cool!
Gone for the grey samsung case with the stand option , abit dull but it protects the phone , second choice would be a case from spigen
Spigen Rugged Armour. Went with it for the S9+, S10+ and now S20U. Protected my phone perfectly for 3 years so why change
