After many, many, many cases, usually thin ones, I have now settled for the Pitaka MagCase with fitting qi charger. Made from Aramid, great quality. 40€.

I love the touch and that it is made from a very durable material (Aramid). It is very thin.

Florida unfortunately.
I needed something compatible with the Dome Glass. I went with the Tech21 EVO tactical. So far it's great case.

I find the cut outs on the Tech21 cases a bit too aggressive which results in my pinky finger becoming fatigued.

Not many talk about in hand comfort when they discuss cases.

I got Alcantara with my N8 and I don't like it at all (terrable filling in hands). Bought Nillkin frosted today while i'm waithing Spigen neo-hybrid to arrive.

Just got this case from MOFI for $15.99 @ Amazon. I love it, it feels like extremely tight weaved carpet. See photo.

I have slippery fingers, drop almost anything, for a 67K INR phone, i did start with a Spigen bumper case, started having doubts when i dropped it 1c.
Decided to buy Supcase cover, it and the tempered glass from the same maker, make the phone feel big, but then I have huge hands and the result is it makes a nice non slippery fit and no tension even if i dropped the phone... the whole phone is coccooned!

I am looking for possibly best protection for Note 8 i dont mind if its bulky...

I heard that Otterbox Defender case can damage phone it self without dropping it, because of plastic ring around it.
I like I-Blason and Unicorn Beetle which comes with built in screen protection but many buyers are complaining about touch sensitivity issues.
Tech21 is too expensive for me.

So far it seems my only choice is Zizo Bolt.. looks good and they are Drop tested.. Since all these case i mentioned is not available in my country, ill be ordering it from Amazon.com (US) which will almost double price with shipping and import fees etc. etc. only Spigen cases are available for Amazon.in and i am not so sure about buying Tough Armor....

I'd really appreciate any suggestion from you guys, i am really confuse about picking protective case.:confused:

Thanks.

Has this been corroborated with the cases made for the N8? I know in the past, as recent as the Note 5, the OB cases were leaving films or pretty permanent marks at the top and bottom edged of the face of the phones.

In regards to tech21 to expensive. My case was everywhere else $40+ Got on Ebay used for $15. My tech screen protector was $40+ everywhere else as well. Got new for $20. Regardless of what brand you decide to get. Go with Ebay way cheaper then most.

Agreed. I paid $15 for the Tech21 Evo wallet case on eBay, was used but looked like new.

I have been using i-Blason and Unicorn Beetle both have front and back protection both were around $19 - $25. I also have the Best Skin Ever on the display. The sensitivity is only slightly impacted, but all you have to do is swipe or tap the screen a second time. the S Pen is perfect with the two layers of protection. Will never need to have another $40 Otter Box.

I didn't notice any marks on my S8 Plus when I took it out of the case to take my SIM out for the Note 8.

Chickasha, OK
Use some glass so I'm limited in cases I can use. Used a speign tough armour and zizo bolt for a while and hav nothing bad to say about them.

After my first Note8 got pumped down an oil well I decided to spend a little extra and ordered a UAG Monarch. Love this case. Looks good, feels good and so far has kept my phone blemish free
