Hi
I bought a cheap one from Amazon and it's fine except that it's hard plastic and way too slippery. I prefer a normal case and not a wallet case. I bring it to the gym and would like some level of protection if I drop it. I have a screen protector on it currently (not tempered glass). Any recommendations?
You don't like the wallet type, but this case works with full coverage screen protectors and also will protect both edges in case of a drop. Magnet holds it closed and it has a slight horizontal overlap on the exposed edge, which would take the impact. Plus this case would outlive the phone. Good luck with your search!

Since you have already bought one, you should mention which one was it exactly. This way it will avoid others recommending the same.
I would suggest this one
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Galaxy-Wallet-Design-Samsung/dp/B01AUR1HF4
Spiegen cases are just TOP although I would never use this one to be so bulky.
BTW if you search Google with the key words "case with credit card holder samsung galaxy s7" you will get lots of results
Are there any case in the wild that offers better protection around the camera? Currently using the TPU case that came in the box and while I like it, i am not able to place the phone on a flat surface as I believe the edges of the camera is exposed and would like to keep that from scratches and damages. If anyone has or knows of a case which better protects the camera, I ll be interested.
Thanks in advance.
not yet, got the spigen Rugged Armor, the lens is too flush with the case. a drop on the back and the lens will crack
I was thinking the same thing. The lens sticks out at the back and the case that comes with the phone just sits flush with this. I'm concerned about just lying the phone on to the table with the lens rubbing on something and getting scratched
Interested to see what other people are going with. For now i'm using the in box clear case. Mobilefun seem to be the only place (UK) that have some options. Olixar brand have a few options but without reviews it's hard to tell how they'll fit. I know many case manufactures design cases before phones are released and working from a phone size spec doesn't always result in a good fitting case. Many of the case stock photo's i've seen have a mock P20 pro with a flat camera such as this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/Flexible-A...8&qid=1523214240&sr=8-7&keywords=p20+pro+case As previous posts have mentioned ideally I want the case to protect the protruding camera while still be slim.
got the Olixar FlexiShield from amazom too https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BL27WMJ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
sent it back, a bit better than the huawei case, there is a lip around the camera, but its very minimal, about half millimeter, so as long as you palce the phone on a flat surface you should be ok, but not if dropped and the overall protection is very bad too, screen is pretty much unprotected,
I've got this one arriving tomorrow. From the photos it looks like it should have good camera protection.
I found a few interesting cases on eBay. It'll be a week or two before they arrive. They're cheap and look like they offer better protection for the camera. I'll save spending big bucks for when something reliable shows up

I'd be a bit concerned with that one, the images are clearly mock-ups as they show all 3 cameras flush with the phone's rear which obviously isn't the case with this phone.
It arrived today and protection is good. Great fit, good grip, easy press buttons, good cut outs for speakers etc, nice lip to protect the screen and the rear lens is not quite flush so doesn't touch when placed back down on a table etc.
Bargain for the price and I'm very happy
I just got this case. I think AliExpress selling it for few USD... The camera lens is only slightly lower but will do for the time being while hunting for a better one like uag.

Yeh I randomly ordered it as I didn't realise there was going to be a case inside the box. However am glad I did as its pretty sturdy and will absorb some of the impact. Also like how the gaps are not too large against the ports.
Usually i bought Spigen thin fit for all my phones, but, until now, they don't have for p20 pro.
I´m looking for something light and thin.
I bought some tempered glass protectors for the three lenses on aliexpress but they haven't arrived yet. Will post an update after I try them.

I received this one today and tbh it seems pretty good, nice fit and protects the lenses nicely round the back, only negative would be it doesn't have raised sides to protect the screen when face down
Anccer Huawei P20 Pro Case [Serie Matte] Resilient Shock Absorption and Ultra Thin Design Cover (Smooth Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BPGHDJS?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
I'm currently using the case that came with the phone, but I'm after the smart view case (have it on my Mate 10 Pro) and also after a screen protector as unlike the Mate 10 Pro, you don't get one
I received my MOFI hard case and while it fits beautifully , it offers 0 protection for the dual cameras they are flush with the case. i also grabbed the MOFO full screen tempered glass and that also fit great but has left a "oil slick" look to the middle of the screen, i'm hoping this goes away after a few day. But if not i would shy away fro the MOFI stuff. ill post up if the screen spot goes away.
I'm looking for a slim case with holes for a lanyard/wrist cord.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Spigen has been my go to case maker for the last 5 years and once again I was not dissapointed with the quality. The case is a perfect fit for my Huawei P20 Pro and looks stylish. All buttons and ports are easily accessible (there are cutouts for cameras, speakers, USB C port, IR blaster and microphone). The case doesn't add too much bulk and the buttons are easy to press. There is a lip on the front surrounding the display that should protect it from drops face down.Would definitely recommend. The camera on the back doesn't stick out and the phone lies flat on the table.
For 9.99£ it's a bargain imo. Link to Amazon.
I've decided to live dangerously with this phone, I've ordered a KitBag from Amazon and will have no case or screen protector on it, unless a DECENT full coverage one comes along
I got the same thing but unbranded for £3.99 on ebay. literally exactly the same.

Thank you for posting this review. I was about to buy one too but was concerned If any of the camera bump stuck out or was nicely tucked in. Spigen rugged armour is the best phone case I've ever had. incredible shock protection yet doesn't scratch funny enough. They clean up great and look new throughout (or at least mine does).
Damn, just got this case. Really slick, I'm a little worried about the camera it's rather flush but better than nothing haha

Try the Slim Armor, gives a good 2mm or so protection to the camera

I can vouch for the Slim Armor case. Just picked up a P20 Pro yesterday and Spigen was my go-to brand and it's really nice and not super bulky.
The rugged armor is good but the glass screen cover that Spiegen offers is crap! I've had it on the phone for 2 days, just took it out of my pocket and theres a crack right across the screen cover! This is with the Rugged Armor on the phone too, so theres a nice big lip above the screen cover to protect the edges. Nothing else in my pockets either, I'm very careful with my phones.
I have to disagree with the above ref the Spigen screen protector, I have had one on for 3 weeks and am really impressed with it. My phone has been with me everywhere in that time and has taken a couple of drops and knocks and the cover is holding up really well, also it looks and feels far better than the others I have tried. I'm using with the Slim Armor and together it's very well protected
I'd be surprised if the screen protector just magically broke on it's own. Probably just took some minor impact at a fateful angle. Maybe ask Spigen for a warranty and see what happens.
I returned my spiegen tough armour because of the lack of camera protection.
went with this instead... purchased 3 of them(different colors)
great case with camera protection
Dooqi Huawei P20/P20 Pro/P20 Lite Ring Stand Holder Shockproof Rugged Case Cover
I got the Spigen case before I picked up the P20 Pro. Never had an issue with it; I even stuck an iRing to the back of the case so that it gives me some added security if I somehow lose grip of the case.
It's true that the camera hump is close to the plastic spigen back. But it is enough to protect the camera. There is no doubt that it could be better. Spigen have recognised this and brought out a new case. See the spigen website
Anime had experience with Mark Armor Case from Spigen?
Supcase makes a great full protection case called Unicorn Beetle Pro. Some of you are surely familiar with it. For those not, give it a look. It offers the most protection for our phones, at a reasonable price. You can search "UB Pro OnePlus 6t" to find vendors.
Have one? Lemme know your thoughts ...
Can you take the screen protector off easy?

I love it. It's easy to assemble and disassemble. It's looking great! It's not heavy at all! Drop it and it still not crack.
Is it waterproof?

I took the built in screen protector when I bought one for my iPhone x. Had a glass screen protector on the phone and it felt so much better. Not hard to take off just take your time going around.
FYI: The case looks like it is the exact same as Poetic Guardian, but Poetic's is cheaper.
Cant speak for poetic. But ive used unicorn beetles for years. Always top notch. Ide pay a few more bux unless i saw an awesome review on the poetic.
Sent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
Used poetic cases on essential and pix 2xl and they were about the same quality as a Spigen of the same build type.
I ordered the Poetic with the clear back while waiting for UB Pro to release. It is similar except they cut a notch where the camera is which means dust ends up behind the screen protector on the poetic also it feels looser the screen protector has some play and the back clear portion fills with pocket dust also since its not tight to the phone either. Also the UB Pro has a kickstand I would say if u dont mind dust behind the screen protector and the back get the cheaper Poetic if you want a tighter more dust resistant case with kickstand get the UB Pro

As a former user of a UB Pro on a Nexus 6P, yes. I utilized a intelliglass/intelliarmor Tempered glass screen protector after removing the built-in plastic cover.
Now, I am using the Poetic Revolution with the OP6T. I did the same thing with the built-in screen cover. Currently, have a tempered glass screen protector for it....just waiting for the plastic one to fall off/peel up.
For removing the built-in plastic (or at least what worked for me), heat up the adhesive a bit to loosen it up and then use a utility knife/blade to slide it under the plastic. Your mileage may vary, so be careful to use the knife/blade away from yourself (cut away) and the plastic case may heat up (watch out for hot surfaces with your finger tips).
For those with the UB Pro case, how is the flap covering the alert slider? On the Poetic, it can be a little bit difficult to switch the slider.
I purchased a Unicorn Beatle case for my Moto g5 Plus over a year ago. Yesterday I purchased a new OnePlus 6T from OnePlus, and after performing an extensive search over the past two weeks to discover if there have been any new rugged cases designed since then that may outperform the Unicorn Beetle Pro, I've concluded the Poetic Revolution is the only one that comes close but the Unicorn Beetle Pro still reigns as champion in my honest opinion. Why? Because it's honestly the best case for those who value the best protection for their phone.
Unicorn Beetle Pro vs. Poetic Revolution
I've never purchased a Poetic Revolution case, but I can share my experiences and knowledge of the UB Pro and the subtle differences I've recognized between the two. Although the two appear to almost identical, at first glance, there are a couple subtle differences I feel give the UB Pro an advantage over the Poetic Revolution. For example, the corner bumpers of the UB Pro are extended/larger to add additional protection, not only from corner impacts but also side impacts between the corners. Inside these corners are larger air chambers to add cushioning protection in order to absorb shock and impacts. These raised corner bumpers also provide additional side clearance that protects the buttons and the side of the device from impacts. Then there's the included holster which is an obvious advantage over the Poetic Revolution package, and it's a good holster. I've had phone holsters in the past that didn't hold up to every day impacts and rubs, and the belt clip ended up easily and unrepairably breaking off, almost effortlessly. However, the UB Pro holster has put up with a surprising amount of impacts and rubs without any issues at all.
The Unicorn Beatle body rubber is firm, yet soft enough to absorb shock and prevent damage to the device. I've had numerous accidental drops throughout the year while handling the device, even down a flight of steps, and the UB Pro has done exactly what it's suppose to do, protect my device. It's never disappointed me.
I don't know what thickness the Poetic Revolution case provides, but I measured various areas of my UB Pro case with a caliper and found the back thickness of the case to be .13" (3.302mm) thick, and it's made of a blend of rubber and polymer. The front protection for the phone screen is what makes the Unicorn Beatle stand out from most if not all of the other phone cases I've seen. Around the perimiter of the device screen is a raised lip which measures a strong .13" (3.302mm) above the device screen. This is the same clearance provided for the rear camera. Many people don't realize the huge advantage this provides toward protecting your device screen and camera lens, far and above all of the other phone cases I've tried which only measured around 0.0393701" (1mm) to 0.0590551" (1.5mm) at the most. Why is this an advantage? So glad you asked, lol. In the event your phone slips from your hand and lands face down outside, there's a good possibility Mr. or Mrs. Pebble (which ranges from 2-4mm) could be waiting in ambush for the opportunity to focus all of its attention on one tiny location on your screen with a kiss, which will more than likely shatter the phone screen. The Unicorn Beatle is the only phone case I've come across to date that provides an additional 0.0984252" (2.5mm) clearance beyond what all of the other cases provide. I believe Supcase has intentionally designed this in because they understand the importance of not only protecting the back and side of your device, but also your device screen from the kiss of disaster by Mr or Mrs Pebble.
As for the built in screen protector on the Unicorn Beatle case, meh. It will protect your device from key and coin scratches, but it allow dust and debris to get between the plastic screen protector and the phone screen (at least with the Moto G5 Plus), which in turn could damage the phone screen. Initially, I installed a tempered glass screen protector on my device screen in combination with the UB Pro plastic screen protector, however, I ultimately pulled off the plastic screen protector built into the Unicorn Beatle frame and cleaned off all of the glue. With that said, I've had no issues with the Unicorn Beatle case causing any problems with the tempered glass screen protector installed on my device.
Best wishes to you. If you choose to purchase a Unicorn Beatle case and holster package, I believe you'll be fully satisfied by the level of protection it provides.
Perhaps if someone out there has the Poetic Revolution case, they can take some measurements to show additional comparisons between the two. Or, I may order one in order to post the differences in here.

I have a poetic case.
I left the stock screen protector on.
The dust part is annoying, I miss the LifeProof case I had on my pixel XL.
Only modification I made was the cut off the USB hinge, as I felt the hinge was putting pressure on the USB cable while plugged in, and therefore putting pressure on the USB internal connector.
So as a precaution, I trimmed it off with an exacto blade, and now it's much easier to plug in the us cable in the car especially.
I already got my unicorn beetle pro case from supcase -- amazon fulfilled the order. I bought mine for 22 bucks.
I cant find a good case for ROG 3 on flipkart of Amazon. Which case are you guys using? where did you buy it from??
I am using Lighting Armor case as I need to use the air trigger. If you do not care for the function of air triggers (dual & slide), can get IMAK case from aliexpress.
I'm also using the lighting armour , I like it ok it drains power but I still like it
I am using the average tpu case that is available for rog 3, i had to make cut out for the side mounted type c ports though
I'm using this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001345047036.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.5d6e4c4d4DwYCq
It's not perfect, but provides enough all around protection, the cutouts are in place.
The included tempered glass screen protector is of good quality, but the black border covers a few pixels on the sides.
It's pretty cheap, I can recommend buying it to protect your ROG Phone 3 - as I said, it's not perfect, but good enough.
Using this one with a tempered glass in the front and a silicon film in the back
I have ordered this IMAK transparent black TPU case with extra corner shock-proofing along with these IMAK clear soft hydrogel films for front & back protection.
Hopefully shipment arriving to me by early next month.
Used to use the lighting armor case until the slippery uncovered aluminium side caused me to drop the phone yesterday, now the phone has a dent on the top right corner of the frame. Lighting armor has the best look of all the cases out there. Now using Zshow case which should prevent it from hitting the screen flat down if I ever drop it again. I'm lucky the phone didn't fall face down with the lighting armor case which would have guaranteed a cracked screen.
I have the imak tpu case too but it cause the tempered glass to lift.
Besides the tempered glass being lifted issue, what's your experience/ feedback regarding your IMAK TPU case (is it with extra corner protection)?
Imak case is quite loose around the air triggers, power button, volume button and side port. Top 4 corner airbags are the problems as they can be depressed quite easily and this cause the screen protector to lift up. You will know when you hold the phone on your right hand with your palm resting with the bottom right corner for support, and this can cause the screen protector to lift.
I'm getting the hydrogel film screen protectors - Hoping that screen lift is not an issue.....
What's your experience or opinion regarding the general damage/ drop protection with this case?
Quality, overall fitting & feel?
It will protect if dropping on the corners as well as face down. However dropping on the back might be a problem because the camera lens are protuting out (although the case cover the camera lens). Placing the phone on the table will also result in wobbly phone when using.

Quality, would say it is better than those generic cheap tpu case (which has worse fit than imak), feel wise, it is slippery on the back.
I just received this: Foluu ROG Phone 3 Case through Amazon. £6.71. To hold it without the phone it doesn't feel great and whilst over the standard case it comes with its bulkier I feel so much safer knowing my camera wont get scratched when I put the phone down. It also raises of the front screen by a minuet amount so there is a bump as you move your finger about. I'd rather that than a nasty scratch though so happy with it.
Air trigger holes and extra power connector cut out too as well as on the back a nice design

It covers the side? The picture on amazon looks like it is an open side design. I don't see slapping that case will provide a good grip.

I am using Asus Original Screen Protector without antibacterial coating. The antibacterial protector is not available in my country. Great protector, no blocking of edge unlike the cheap china protector which has thick black borders and block the edges of the display.

Thanks for this, I did think about getting this over.
I'm using the magnetic flip case which is great, but no front lip so don't drop the thing like I did, broke my display as the screen protector didn't quite cover all of it and a tiny stone hit the outer edge.
Not the end though as I've bought another, and will get it repaired under insurance consider it a lesson learned.

FEEDBACK
Took about 5 weeks to arrive (from China).
This IMAK case is good build quality and fit over all, could have been a bit more snug - the extra corner padding does not make it look slick, and I am not sure if it is worth it on balance.
There is a 2 mm lip all around the front panel to help with screen protection.
Cut-outs are spot on - including for air-triggers/ 3 mics/ heat vent/ side USB ports. No cut-out for SIM-tray though but it's better this way.
Camera module is fairly well protected.
No issues with air-trigger related squeeze gestures.
The Hydrogel clear gel screen protector had a ?extra notch cut-out just left of the front camera (?? why) but otherwise the rest of the dimensions were spot on. It came as a set of x2 in one pack, which was a nice surprise. Included a helpful set of instructions/ link to video.
I preferred it to be short by about 1 mm all around the edges to minimise the risk of "lift" when the case is compressed in pockets/ when using the squeeze gestures etc.
The touch feel is smooth and has a good response. Visibility through this screen film is fine; no glare issues. I prefer these type of gel screen protectors to glass.
Has anyone come across a case that doesn't need to be removed when connecting to the accessories (eg Twinview, Mobile Desktop Dock)?
