Hey all just wondering if anyone has come across any good quality cases with built in screen protectors ?
I got the Ghostek Nautical and it was really poor quality
Any other options would be great
Thanks in Advance.

When you say had? have you changed this due to the screen touch issues?

I actually still have it, just don't use it
I ripped the screen protector out and bought a couple plastic screen protectors
they work fine, but I saw another case I wanted, and got that instead
but the supcase is great otherwise, I had the same one for my previous note 5 with no issues, but for the note 8, I had to press the buttons harder for screen to respond

Which plastic screen protectors did you try and work well?

Bought this:

Works great!!
It comes with a lifetime guarantee.

When I first got it, I panicked and after like 16 hours I still had a bunch of bubbles and ripped it off to try again. At the same time I said let me check them on their guarantee. I sent an email saying its not as easy to do as the description states and they said no problem and shipped me a new pack of 2.

So with the 2nd one from my original pack, I put it on again, same thing happened, after 24 hours still had a bunch of bubbles like a bad car tint job. But as they say, be patient. after 48 hours I was down to only 3 bubbles remaining. Took 48 hours in addition to that for these final 3 stubborn bubbles to go away, but now its all smooth , looks great, looks perfect really. Well worth the 8 bucks, and got a new pack waiting just incase I drop it or snag it on something in the future

This is the one I've been using. I bought pink one for the wife also.
i-Blason Galaxy Note 8 Case, [Heavy Duty Protection] [Clear Back] [Magma Series] Shock Reduction / Full body Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 2017 (Black)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074W3WBVC/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_F8d5zbQ0ZXMBP

I don't get some of the complaints about having to press harder. Either people aren't snapping the top onto the phone snuggly or they have different revisions or defective. I am able to use it as I did without a case. My wife's works great too. I would definitely hear about it if it didn't.

My Unicorn Beetle Note 8 case with the built in screen protector came, sadly after I put the whitestone dome on it and apparently it has major touch issues with the whitestone dome on the phone so it is basically useless to me. I think the bigger issue is these curved screens that really don't add anything to the functionality of the phone.

I just got the "i-Blason, Samsung Galaxy Note 8 case,Full-body Rugged Clear Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 2017 Release (Black) " today and this looks like it is going to be a very good case $19.99 from Amazon.

It has the little rubber doors/seals for the charging port and the head set jack, thin profile yet has good corner protection, buttons work well and has easy access to the S-Pen.

I had the Unicorn Beetle for my Galaxy J3V and it was a very good case too, with full front and back protection. I doen't think you can go wrong with either if you are looking for a full front and back case with extra water protection.

It's not an issue of defect or misuse. The fact that the protector doesn't stick to the screen is what causes the touch issues. You may naturally tap a little harder than some when you use your device. My wife has no issued with mine but I couldn't stand it. I popped out the protector and just use the case.

I'm not pushing down or tapping at all. As soon as my finger touches the surface it registers. I can slide my finger up and down scrolling just barely touching the screen. I can rapidly slide it around without it missing at all. I typed this reply manually barely touching with no swiping just to test. There's probably just some differences and over time if I constantly remove my device from the case it may start to fail too. It doesn't have to stick, just has to make constant contact.

You are very lucky sir! Over time it will start lifting away from the screen as the phone is being held. They are great cases though, I just don't like the implementation of the protector but they didn't have a choice with this curved screen.

Now what sucks, are all these rip off tempered glass half made protectors!!!!?

I'm still in the middle of trying cases myself. I've tried 3 different waterproof cases and I haven't really enjoyed any of them so far. Most of them have the screen protector too loose fitting to the phone. I just bought another one off Amazon then I'm going to try and I'm hoping this is the final and last one, it's made by Tom Plus. Really they need to make it a tight interference fit when the cases snap shut and allow the screen protector to stretch over / form to the glass, but it appears most of them don't work that way.

This is great info.

Have you tried the Note 8 with this plastic screen protector and a case with a built in Screen Protector?

Anything new yet? I want to get a good case with a screen protector built in, because I can't find a good Tgsp for the Note 8 other than the Zagg Curve elite, which is out of stock. I currently have a Spigen Tough armor with no screen protector and don't want to risk it.

    A solution I have found is to add something to the back of the device so that it's tighter in the case. I added a rear protector to my device and it helps a little.
