Best drop tested Note 8 Case? Tech 21 maybe?

[Nick216ohio]

Looked at a lot of videos online and this seem to be the best case for drop test. Plus tech 21 screen protector. I've had this phone for a little over a week. Me and my girlfriend both have the Note 8. We also have samsung care protection.

So I guess you can say we are able to be more careless. It's a 100 dollar fee for repair deduction. Anyway I've droped mine 3Xs and GF 6Xs all on hard concrete and other hard flooring. All at pocket and ear drop distance. I am 6ft myself and gf 5ft. No scratching or cracks.

Anyone else have same results? If anyone reading this decides to get both tech 21 case and screen protector. Go on ebay way cheaper. Tmobile tried charging me $100+ Tax for both smh. Got exact both on ebay for $35.

Case is sleek and can barely tell it's on. Bunch of different versions to choose from. Check out drop test here.

Case isn't as sleek as the UAG plasma but I liked that video too, so I ended up getting one. Didn't realize they were cheaper on flabby $20 vs. $34 on "sale" from best buy

Yeah haven't tried that 1 yet. My biggest concern is drop proof. UAG wins on sleekness, haven't really checked that 1 for drop test. Ebay got them used for $15 for tech21 case. Normally $40-50 new. Screen protector for $20 new.

There's more videos on youtube this one for S8 and S8+ but same case. I use to only buy temper glass. After this video and my own experiences glad I switched. Barely can tell the film is on and no bubbles.

How does the film feel compared to glass?
I've tried film before and they feel so much less smooth that it's pretty annoying.
A lot of glass protectors don't conduct well on the curved displays because the adhesive is only on the sides though

It's just right in my opinion. Film use to suck worse that's for sure. Temper glass is better at fingerprint smudges and scratches. The film is better at smoothness/sleek look and drop resistance. My gf would put her keys with phone a lot of the time. Of course that caused scratches. But that was to screen protector only. Reason I know is because she got it wet and had to take screen protector off. No scratching to screen.

The film does have scratch resistance as well. If you do decide to get film I'd suggest only this brand because they actually back it's protection claims. This Note 8 is made out of all glass so drops are definitely more serious to worry about.

Lady putting on screen film watch few times. It's of s8 but same concept. Some can't fellow directions so screwed up film. Like I said watch few times and you will be fine.

I have both the Tech21 Evo Tactical and the UAG Plasma. I am not using a screen protector or tempered glass. I like the Tech21 case, but it doesn't have the big front "lip" that the UAG case does. Does anyone have any experience with the Tech 21? Will it protect the screen when dropped?

Look at my earlier posts. And you will see in youtube videos.

Just going to say I use a Tech21 Evo Check on my Pixel XL and Note 8 and I'm a big fan of them. I got mine on ebay for around $15ish.

Have you dropped phone yet with case? Phone fared well? Mine and my girlfriend has with no cracks or anything. She dropped 6Xs and myself 3Xs.

I've dropped the Pixel once, never dropped the Note 8. Pixel suffered no damage at all.

is the impact shield screen protector mandatory ? does tech21 case alone offer enough protection against glass shattering ?

The drop test videos earlier posts that I linked. The guy didn't have screen protector on it and screen was fine. But just to be safe I wouldn't risk it. $20 definitely worth protecting a thousand dollar phone. Just watch install video few times and you should be fine. Can barely tell it's on to be honest.

Towards the end with install video with lady she shows you what it looks like. You can barely tell it's on. Install in a clean environment! Use stickers for dust! Well lighting area. Install screen protector 1st.

Talking amongst ourselves, don't you think that video of the drop test could have been taken a few times ,. similar with other drop test videos. Example they use multiple devices in case one breaks on the first take

Like I said before myself 3Xs and GF 6Xs. We've droped a few more times ontop of it. You could be right at the same time. But I've seen other videos same case. I was thinking that but I experienced it myself. Plus any decent size youtuber normaly wouldn't do that. Because they would be called out on there BS and lose subscribers+ credibility.

I already ordered a Tech21 wallet case for the Note 8. Apparently it's same design as a Evo check but with a clickable cover.
