Just for day to day use, I don't do anything too extreme that would put my phone at too much risk. Right now, I'm using a tempered glass screen protector with the Otterbox Defender.
Defender makes it too thick for my tastes, and I want a case that is thinner and more aesthetically pleasing.
If anyone has the Neo Hybrid or other Spigen cases, I would appreciate any experiences with any drops you might have had.
Also, how are bumper cases? Referring to the aluminum ones that don't cover the back.
Yes, the best of the best for me is this one

I like this one but doesnt ship in us
Ringke Slim. Slimmest available with protection on all sides, raised edge around the screen and raised edge around the camera. You can put it down any way you want and anywhere you want, still provides some level of hit protection (kinda from your pocket to normal floor). Just what you need for home/school/office. And cheap. Or Seido surface - slightly thicker, expensive but with kickstand.
I am using this one right now. This one is slim and hand-feel also good. Earlier I used Neo Hybrid by Spigen but that one made my note 3 bulky.

I have a Ringke slim and the one from the link below. I like both of them equally. The bumper is hard and not flexing, I put it on the phone and there is no movement.

I don't know. The UAG and the commuter seem to have similar bulk, I have both. Good option for the op might be a slim armor and a glass screen protector. I have the slim as well, protection is good enough from the sides and back but the front protection is quite shallow compared to the UAG and Commuter.

Fantastic quality, finish and material.
I got this with the leather back. It's nice and has done me well. I bought 3 colors already. For $8 and some change shipped, you can't beat it.

I have exactly this one.
It's too slippery for my tastes and doesn't really offer protection, but good enough until my Spigen arrives tomorrow.
Incipio Feather best case ive ever owned. Ive had one on all my past motorola phones and now on my note3. Protects what needs to be and adds alot of grip to the phone.
Hi everyone, just switched from my Nexus 5 to an LG G3 today. First priority is to pick up a decent case and screen protector combo.
Been reading on the forums but haven't really found many definitive answers.
I've been looking at 2 cases:
-Tudia Ultra Slim Lite
-Diztronic Matte Black TPU
If anybody can shed some light on which will offer a better fit and grip/feel in the hand, and which is more compatible with a wide variety of screen protectors,
it would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I've noticed a ton of screen protectors seem to have one large rectangular cutout for the earpiece and sensors which I do not like.
Which companies offer the most screen coverage? (Doesn't have to be glass)
I've noticed these Spigen Crystal Clear protectors show precision cuts but who knows how accurate that is
http://www.amazon.ca/Protector-Spig...373279&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g3+screen+protector
I would like to put in orders this weekend so I can start using this badboy to its full potential!
Thank you in advance, hopefully I'll be able to shed light on other questions in return sometime soon.

Diztronics makes great quality cases. Was not a fan of the feel of tudia case for my g2. Cruzerlite cases are legit as well.
I don't have any pictures, but I have the Diztronic and love it. It has a nice feel and doesn't smudge like a gloss tpu would.
It's paired with a Zagg glass screen protector and fits well. For a glass that has precise cutouts the PThink brand that can be found on Amazon has just the earpiece cutout. I would have gotten that one if I found it before buying the Zagg.

Thanks for the replies guys, I ended up ordering the Diztronic + Spigen Crystal clear protectors
Just thought I'd give an update here, possibly for anyone looking for a good case for their phone.
Got my diztronic in the mail today, and it makes me wonder why I never bothered to order one of their cases in the past.
For the price you pay, you're getting a great fitting case which looks good and feels good in the hand. Doesn't seem to add much extra bulk to the phone either.

Did you get the regular TPU case or the ultra version of it? Both are nice! I'd also recommend the Tactical Impact by Tech21. It is similar to the Diztronic but the TPU is more rugged and interior is lined with D3O material. Awesome case for $20

I opted for just the regular diztronic TPU as I didn't want to add any significant bulk to the phone but still have some sort of scratch protection
One thing that worries me about it though is if the matte coating were to start rubbing off.
This happened to a rearth ringke case I purchased for my Galaxy S2 way back when. That was quite disappointing
You shouldn't need to worry about wear on the diztronic case. I've had one on my Galaxy S3 for a couple years without any visible wear and it goes everywhere with me.
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.

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.
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
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.

I'm sticking with the Unicorn Beetle Pro by supcase,been rockin that case for years throughout my different Notes and S series phones.Just as good as Otterbox defender but way cheaper.Win,Win in my opinion.

Nice- thanks!
Pitaka, since many years, for day to day / office, dBrand Grip case (with custom pitaka plates under the back sticker) as a self made 'Pitaka pro' for days with higher demand for protection.
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.

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
