Is anyone planning on getting this case? I got one for my OnePlus 3T and did not like it, I've read that they have improved since then though.

Anyone get it for the s8/8+? How was it with that?

I had one for my S8, and I have already pre-ordered one for my Note 8. I've used these since I initially got an S6, I think.

They're the best. I use them when I go hiking, play sports, or go out drinking. They improved them quite a bit for the S8 (in fact, they did a free replacement from v1 to v2 for my S8 case) - they fixed the difficulty of hitting buttons, which was my biggest complaint for the Pixel version I had.

They also recently sent out an email about improving the material for the Note version. It's now something like 40% smaller?

I really hope it's compatible with my Whitestone!

That was my biggest grip about it with my OnePlus was the buttons were impossible to press.

I'm waiting to see if it's compatible with the Whitestone as well before I pull the trigger on both.

Mines came in today.
It feels great in the hand.
It is slimer the the s8plus one i have (had ver1)
Buttons press is very good. My s8plus one was a bit hard at time.

The bottom where the ports are are soft and dont dog into my fingers.
The spen slot is open more on the right. It lets you press the button and then use a right finger to pull it out.

Overall its great and worth the money.

I havent done any drop test, because thats not what i do.

Just received my crash guard. This is a very minimal case. The buttons are tactile. It's very easy to put the case on. There isn't much give on the side when you pull it so it stays on pretty tight. However, The case itself is a bit slippery.

Screen protector I am using is the Spigen neo flex and it is compatible.

Slippery?
Mines and my wife's are fine. I can grab the phone by the edges with light pressure and the phone not slide out.
