Hi, I'm looking for a slim case that offers protection for the front by elevating it a bit. I do like the OEM bumber, however it is too expensive for me.
Any suggestions?
Also looking for a <$6 2 pack edge to edge screen protector.
Thanks!

Hey all, hope your day is going well.
(sorry for no links, XDA doesnt allow it)
I have bought my S8, I also have bought 2 cases and a screen protector....
The case i am CURRENTLY using Ottobox's Commuter series.
The second case i have is Spigen's slim fit case.
Now... Here is my question and problem, i know nothing much about protection and it seems i can only use a tempered glass protector on the Spigen one... As the Ottobox case doesnt allow it to fit.
Should I use the Spigen Case + Glass together? Or would it be better just to go without the tempered glass and use the Ottobox one.
OR should I get the RhinoShield? Just purchase the back and front tempered glass they provide.
Hey mate, here is my honest opinion.
I bought a Poetic slim case for my S8 and I couldn't be happier. It actually protects the edges cuz of the frame being a bit high. However, I bought a glass screen protector and unfortunately didn't sit flat on the screen. I had to press on hard to get it to work. I ended up taking the screen protector off and let be without it. Now, I'm telling you this because you might face the same issue with screen protector. Somehow these screen protectors aren't quite 100% designed to fit perfectly for these new devices. If I were you I would stick with something that will provide the best protection for you device. I will eventually buy a more rugged case for it, but for now this case it's more than enough. You said you bought a screen protector for the front and back? Let me know how the front glass works for you. If it works fine and it fits properly I might buy one too.
Protect your device mate and take care of it. ? cheers.
I have purchased an S8+ recently and ordered some cheap cases and screen protectors off ebay. The problem is that they pick up fingerprints and look weird around edges where the adhesive is. Can anyone recommend and good screen protectors that can be bought in the UK? I'd prefer them to be case friendly as well. Thanks.
I use these with my Spigen thin case.
They have wings so tuck under the case stopping edge lift.

Yes, I've read about these but forgot about them! Thanks for this, will definitely get them.
The tech 21 screen protectors are really really nice. I have 1 on my S8 and it's fantastic even with fingerprints. It's very case friendly I have yet to have any issues with it yet.
I use Samsungs OEM screen protector.
I bought mine in Switzerland. It is a "Panzerglass" one. The phone already fell hard on the ground and the screen protector didn't even scratched, it also doesn't catch fingerprints easily.
I've tried quite a bit of screen protectors, invisible defender, white stone, spigen etc and I ended up returning them all. It's going to be trial and error for you; it's highly subjective and what you will like compared to others.
There is an XDA forum dedicated to the S8+ (rather than the S8), and there's an Accessories sub-forum within it where there are a number of threads dealing with screen protectors for the S8+

Okay, I could not get used to the lack of home button and the dumbass fingerprint sensor location on my S8, so sold it and got a brand new S7 Edge Black Pearl Edition (<3)
I have a specific set of needs for a film to cover the BACK side of the phone, since for the front I'm going to be using the Whitestone Dome Glass (which I loved on my S8)
I abhor cases, and want to flaunt the beauty of the curves and color of my Black Pearl S7E. Hence I will go caseless, but with the protective films / tempered glass combo.
Basically, I want a THICK film that is clear and transparent. I've just about made up my mind (~90%) to purchase Skinomi full body protection, but just want to find out if there's something better and thicker out there?
I like to keep my case as small as possible. My phone rides in my front pocket. I got tired of wasting a lot of money on screen protectors that were not case friendly. My choice of case and screen protection is a light duty combo, if you need really good drop protection this may not be what your looking for. The screen protector does not go quite as far down the edge and the case does not go over the screen protector. I put the screen protector on and 24 hours later the case. Anyway the combo gets along well with each other and I got scratch protection and a small amount of drop protection at a very reasonable price. I did a similar combo on my S7 edge and looked for something the same for my new s9 plus. Thought I would share. Google these:

I'm finding my I-Blason Armorbox case cuts off part of the screen on the sides where the Edge curve is (and causes my screen protector to keep trying to come off after a perfect install) just enough that I can't read some things and blocks enough to be annoying. What cases provide awesome protection (I liked this one for the kickstand and all around protection (no screen protector included), but will allow for full screen mode? I'm not looking for one with a built-in screen protector as it seems to be hit and miss and don't really care for one. I put my own matte screen protectors on.
Any ideas? I am sending back the Armorbox case on Amazon tonight and would like to know what would be a good buy and won't block the screen edge and allow full screen view and full edge access.
Thanks in advance you guys!
I'm using Dome Glass with the Samsung Ultimate back protector, works perfectly
I have a "Reveal Series" case by encased. 16 dollars on Amazon, comes with a belt clip. Glass Screen protector friendly (in using one by body guardz). Very minimal case, but their holsters are top notch. I had one for my v20, fell one the holster and it didn't break and my phone stayed in it.
