Cases with raised edges?

Any ideas yet? I don't just mean raised top and bottom bezel like most cases have it. I call most cases back covers, nothing more. Totally unprotective of screen edges.

Thank you for showing our first contender. Hoping for something less bulky looking.
It's definitely slim compared to an otterbox, plus it has a built in kick stand. Had my s7 edge in this exact case for a year and it protected it against literally a hundred drops onto concrete. I'm rough on my stuff and it held up amazingly. They have a ton of colors too. This is their best case but buy it on Amazon so it's cheaper. Still loving the glass protector that came with it free by the way. Feels like there's nothing on it.

If you go this route, put it in the case first then use the case to help align the protector. Works better.

Also, I used a skinomi full body wrap before going into the case. Keep the phone like new!

Thanks. But it is just not to my taste. It looks like something you would need a gun licence for ;).

Any further ideas? Why are these so hard to find?

Tried the Incipio dual pro. As with Presidio Grip, the case edge still sits about a milimeter bellow the screen.

If you're in the UK, try this one, relatively cheap, good protection and grip without adding too much bulk.

I guess the reason that they don't make cases with higher raised sides is because it would interfere with the use of the 'Edge Handle'.

Currently using Caseology Legion for my note8 and can be happier. Fits better than spigen tough armor or the dual pro.
Currently using this as well and was pleasantly surprised by the height of the side edges. They sit higher than the side edges of both the Spigen Tough Armor and the UAG Plasma, and I think if they went any higher they'd make edge functionality difficult to use.

Florida unfortunately.
OP. Did you manage to find anything with raised left and right edges? When placing a straight edge on some of my cases ( steel ruler ) the ruler is resting on the glass. Sure the top and bottom is raised. But not sides.

Nothing better than Encased Rebel. There are some cheap Chinese cases with raised edges, but they are filmsy and dirt magnets. Not a good protection at all. How about you?

None to be honest. I primarily use a wallet type case. But the few cases that I did buy , I found the Caseology to have a slight raised lip on the sides. Disliked the case however as it was very hard and sharp around the edges to hold.

I stumbled across a Under Armor Verge case on eBay that was supposed to be given good reviews with raised edges. Maybe try a used one for $15 and report back ?
