I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on a TPU Gel Case, I was looking for something with a low profile that still gives solid protection without blocking to much of the "edge" display.

I have seen a couple a couple from Spigen and LK that look promising, but was wondering if anyone has first-hand experience with a good case. The main things I want are
1. Grippy/Flexible TPU
2. Protection of the frame at top/bottom
3. Lots of lift on top/bottom or corners to give clearance if you lay the phone flat on the screen
4. Full access to screen (cover the least amount of edge function as necessary)
5. As thin a profile as possible with the other requirements

Does that Tudia case have any grip?

I'm looking for a S8 case that's like the Apple 7+ silicone case if you know how grippy those are.
Not familiar with those, but the Tudia has etched sides to add grip. Some others I have are smooth and can be a bit slippery. The Tudia feels great in the hand.

Okay, thanks. They are more like silicone than TPU and have awesome grip. They have a microfiber lining too so they don't leave marks, etc on the back of the phone. I'm looking for something like that if I can find one.

Nillkin nature, best case ever. If you give a try, you will use it in all your phones in the future. I used it with my last 3 phones.
Moreover, the case fixes the Fingerprint failed location issue. You will never touch your camera lens anymore.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I was looking for something with a style similar to the Nillkin, Silicone iPhone cases that you described.

I definitely like the idea of having the camera and sensors separated on the back. My one concern for the Nillkin is about screen protection. Is the lip on the top/bottom substantial enough to protect the screen?

I was also looking at this case which wraps over the top and bottom bezels and at least seems like it might give more protection, although it doesn't separate the sensors on the back

Or this one which is similar to the Nillkin, but has more corner protection

If you put your phone face down with the Nillkin nature case, the screen doesn't touch the surface, so the lip on the top and bottom are enough.
But what I like the most of this case, is how are separated the camera and the Fingerprint sensor. The hole for the camera is so small that is no possible to touch the camera lens anymore (unless you have a very thin finger). On the other hand is the Fingerprint sensor hole so big, that your finger falls naturally in the right position, while without a case the 50% the times is touching the camera.
Between, if you have the midnight black version and you decide to get the Nillkin, go for the grey one. It looks awesome and much better than the clear one.
