I dropped my Note 8 today (it sort of flew out of my hand) from a height of about 4.5' today onto an unpadded carpet over cement floor at work today. So, not much cushioning, but better than bare cement. It hit square on the s pen corner and made a terrible thud. I think we all know that feeling in your stomach before you look....

The impact bubbled up the Skinomi protector but that was all! I'm so relieved! The very thin Pitaka case and the Skinomi did their jobs very nicely...I'll need to replace the Skinomi, but that's it!

:laugh: :good:

This case looks premium. If it had more protection I would go for it. Does anyone know any premium cases that offer great protection ? I hate the most used cases like Spigen, UAG, ottorbox etc .. they are all ugly and give the phone cheap look

I agree with you.

yeah, I feel like I did get lucky, however if my Note 8 had been nakey, I'm sure the screen would have cracked. It hit that hard.

I love the look of the Pitaka. So, when i decided to switch from the Spigen Tough Armor (which is a great compromise of protection and looks, in my opinion) , I also bought a warranty from Square Trade (I've had dealings with them before and always had good service). Anyway, the case and screen protector performed better than expected, given how close the case fits. In fact, the Skinomi tried to heal itself overnight...hehehe...there's only one tiny bubble left!
