Luphie Tempered Glass and Metal Galaxy Note 8 Bumper Case

[pappschlumpf]

Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level. Signal quality is perfect like the manufacturer promises. The case is available in serveral color, black, gold, blue, etc. It is offered for a very reasonable price around 15€.

Especially for you. Added two pictures showing my device with one of your custom AOD backgrounds.

Do you have pics of your phone in the case rather than marketing images?
just wanna make sure your not advertising for them

The last time i used a Luphie case (similar to this) was on my Note 4 and it was terrible.
Looked great on my note 4!
but
1. effected signal badly
2. poor build quality (the lock mechanism was loose and only got looser as time went on)
3. the back glass cracked extremely easily, i didnt even drop it one day i took it out my pocket and it was cracked.

once it cracked it destroyed the only thing it had going for it (the looks) was dissapointed!

if they have fixed all these issues then it looks pretty nice

Sure i could take a picture of my phone within it. If you check my profile in the meantime you'll see that i'm not known for advertising here on XDA
And well, i've not posted a link to any special seller.

Added two pictures
And reception is great, no remarkable signal loss.
The case needed two weeks from china to germany. There are several sellers @ AliExpress selling it.

I like the way it looks but does it have the text (top and bottom) on the back like the pictures?

"Wireless Signal..."

"0.8MM Tempered..."

Yes, just have a look to the last two pictures, that is my Note 8.

I had started my reply before you had posted the pictures. When the phone is face down, does it sit on the phones screen or does the bumper case have a lip?

Thanks for adding those pics.

It has a lip, something like 0.5 mm. Maybe a little less.

The Ebay seller ships from china too, i think.

How tight fit is this bumper and back glass? I had on the patchworks level ITG case on mine, dropped from a 3ft bathroom sink, landed in the corner and cracked the screen even with the tempered glass on! I could not use the phone for a week until I realized the display was separated from the gorilla glass panel so I pried it up so it can "glue" back. Thank god I got Square trade warranty.

I have yet to find a good case to protect it since. My guess was the more tight fit the case, there is less room for shock absorption so it goes straight to the phone itself.

Well the phone is not moving around within the case. But the inside of the aluminium frame and the metal frame of the tempered glass back are covered with a foam material. That's necessary to not scratch our Note 8 for sure and it should prevent the phone from being broken if it drops. Anyway this is not a hardcore drop survivor case like the UAG cases are, i think. I've already searched for a drop test, but wirhout success. There are some aluframe test, but not for one of these.
If the community donates me another Note 8 i'll try that for you guys for sure
The Mi Mix i have owned was covered by a Luphie metal bumper having the same material inside. It dropped once out of the carmount between seat and middle console onto the metal mount of the Recaros. Just a tiny mark on the metal frame, but nothing happened to the phone! The corner it dropped onto, perfect condition. Remember, the Mix is ceramic! These frames definitly offer a decent protection. It's for sure a high quality aluminium.

Zzzz so it actually has all that disgusting writing all over it? That's the only thing keeping me from actually buying one...

As you can see on the pictures of my phone (last two attached pictures), yes. The rebranded one Zizo offers has a Zizo Text and the bottom text. The top one is missing if i remember right. Well, if you don't like the writing, don't buy this case.

My mother droptested it for me in the meantime. From the wireless charger, around 75cm height, onto a wood floor. Well, everything fine, no scratches, simply zero damage.

Nice case! Just cancelled mine after heaeing feedbacks on the GPS glitch when used with this case on. I wonder if you've experienced that? Especially, when inside the car?
