What's up guys? I'm looking for a new Galaxy Note 8 case and ran into this list. Has anyone tried any of these cases and have any recommendations?

Yup, I've been using an Otterbox Commuter with a Whitestone Dome since I bought the phone. It's been great and has protected my phone from a few drops so far.

Lots of case threads already, including: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=73341122

Imo if you want a strong case to protect your phone, but not have that "ugly" look to it...

Go for patchworks, it's what I'm using right now I love the design, and it's up to military grade standard

I dropped my phone (by accident) from above my head onto concrete (completely **** myself xD) and no problems

Not sure if the Whitestone dome would fit on it though, if someone knows let me know please

I had an Otterbox Commuter on my phone for a few months. I picked up a Patchworks case for a few bucks and have kept it on. It's thinner and feels much better in my hand. I've also dropped my phone more times than I can count and haven't had a single issue with my phone. The few times I dropped my phone with the Commuter my glass screen protector came off.

Which glass was it that came off? My whitestone is still on tight with no lifting after a few drops in the Commuter, but some glass/case combos are definitely compatible than others of course.

I've gone through a lot of cases, but my favorite has been the Speck Presidio Grip. No other case has as good of grip while still having decent protection and it doesn't add much bulk.

Been using the Spigen Tough Armor on my Note 8 since I got it. The only problem I had was finding tempered glass screen protector for it that had 100% screen adhirsion.

Best case for me has been the dbrand Grip!! Amazing protection for such a tiny size. Second most used is a UAG Monarch when I am roughing it up at work. Finally the Alcantara Samsung case, just cause I like the feel and look of it

Sent from my Galaxy Note8 using XDA Labs

I actually use the all black version of this one HERE. It's very inexpensive, very strong and really well made. I had the exact same case for my Note 5 and it never got a scratch on it. The case looks even better on the Note 8. :)Screenshot_20180612-062857_eBay.jpeg
