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!

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

I'm using this one from Amazon and very happy with it - only scratch protection, but that's what I was looking for - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7
I just purchased this one. Waiting for it to come in Wednesday. I can post some pictures once I have it.

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 just got this case from Amazon.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Very slim, no branding, matte black.

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.
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?
Hi all, is there any spigen neo hybrid alternative for Huawei P20 Pro?
Hi, any issues getting the tempered glass on with the Spigen case? Thanks

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
those side adhesive screen protectors suck!!!
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 ) .

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
am making an iPhone 8 plus supcase beetle pro modded for my p20 pro, looking good and only £16, hand one on my htc 10, always dropping it, never a worry...pics to follow

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:

Check out ebay for this case, Huawei P20 Pro Hybrid Belt Clip Holster Case Combo great protection.
Cant post pic or link yet.
Hope this helps
Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.
Thanks
I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.
Here some really good and good quality smart (wake & sleep) flip cases from Aliexpres.
Those on the picture is genuine leather [emoji1303]

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

Do you have a Link?
Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!

I got it for around 4 euro Free Shipping to Europe. it also come very good protected inside the package with bubble wrap
I have also look at another case ( Porsche Design ) made by TPU with a Tinted Tempered Glass Semi-Transparent back... i ask the seller to send me a Real Picture and he send me this one
