Looking for a High quality Case........

Hey guys whats going on, Well Looking for a new case for my galaxy s5.
What do you guys recommend?????
Right now I have a OtterBox Defender case, it is a lil Big and already Broke on me, and the Silicone also has ripped.
Trying to see what everyone is using and what has the best protection. Im a construction worker so I like sumthing really durable. Thanks guys

UAG.

i also have the otterbox but i think it's horrible.. makes the phone twice as thick and much bigger.
now i ordered the ringke slim case, i also had a ringke on my nexus 4 and that one was fantastic.

Might want to check out thewirecutter's guide (no link because I'm new )

Spigen
Slim Armor

Spigen

Yeah I was looking at the spigen tough armor. Looks good. But I also want something to protect the Glass of the phone.

Why would you 50$ for a phone case? On chinese webshops you can get cases like those for around 3-7$. They may not be of the same quality but in combination with a tempered glass protector you will get protection of around the same level!

Whitestone Dome - not fully compatible with Spigen slim armor

Bought the Whitestone Dome protector after hearing rave reviews about it. Paired it with the Spigen slim armor in all black, which is probably the most beautiful Spigen case in years.
Unfortunately, after a few hours I notice "spider cracks" forming at the bottom edge, and this morning a couple bubbles at the top edge. Turns out the lips on the slim armor is pushing against the protector ever so slightly. The sides are fine as far as I'm concerned. Just afraid that this is a "plague" that will eventually detatch the screen protector.
Other than that, it's a great screen protector and miles better than the ones I used to try on my s7 edge.

I've ordered the spigen air skin for my s9+ I hope it fits with my phone with my dome protector on.

Get the Spigen 593CS22943 Galaxy S9 Plus Case Neo Hybrid from Amazon. Works fine with the whitestone

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't quite like the Neo hybrid series. Prefer something with a hard back. Used an ultra hybrid for my s7 previously but it turned yellow easily. Might consider cutting a little bit of the silicon on the slim armor instead...

I also purchased this whitestone some protector and a spigen air liquid case for a S9 plus.
Didn't applied the screen protector yet.
Now I am afraid of wasted my money with this expensive screen protector...

I have the Whitestone Dome glass on my Note 8 with the Spigen Armored clear case and it fits just fine. I'm hoping this holds to be true for the S9+ with that same case and glass.... I'll keep you guys posted. I'm thinking it should be fine though...

Case compatibility with the Whitestone Dome Glass master list

I found this master list of cases that work and do not work with the whitestone dome glass on Reddit. I thought it would be helpful for those here as well! There seems to be a submission form for other cases that people have tested out and whether or not they fit, so it is continually updated.
Hope this helps others as it really stinks to spend so much on that screen protector only to have a case screw it up because it doesn't fit

Thanks,
I submitted a couple models that work using the link.

Spigen skin air works perfect with my dome protector ?

Nice! Looks like they were already added.

I pre-ordered the Moment case... it's a gamble.

Did the Moment wind up fitting? I was thinking of getting that with the Dome Glass screen protector as well. Haven't seen it on any of these lists.

I have the Spigen Neo hybrid. I noticed that the corners of the screen have a little gap between the screenprotector and the case. On the sides , the gap isnt noticable.

Is the Samsung Alcantara case definitely compatible? Anyone have this case with the whitestone dome?

Yes I have that case for my S9+ and whitestone dome glass.
Sent from my Samsung SM-G965U1 using XDA Labs

Warning about the Moment case. The bottom 2 lips of the case touch the glass (the sides and top are fine). I don't know if I want to keep it on long enough to see if the bottom of the glass lifts....
Edit: The Moment case is not compatible with the Whitestone.

Your list says the OtterBox Pursuit series does not fit, this is false. I would say it is an exact fit with only a few millimeters of "wiggle room" but it does fit with no glass touching or conflicts with the case.

Anyone tried the Youmaker? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BMSMFC8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks similar to the Unicorn Beetle and was wondering if it worked. I just ordered that and The Unicorn Beetle Hybrid: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079BSJH8M/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Figured Ive never really had a problem except when I had my S7 Edge that the screen shattered twice. Hoping cause its not as curved that itll be less likely to break as long as I have a decent case on it. But still want a screen protector.

Anyone have Vena vArmor case?

No problem, here ya go. Been installed for almost a month now with no issues, definitely the best combo for overall protection IMO.

I just went with this combo as well. Whitestone said that they haven't had any problems so far with this case so I got it. Now that both are in my hands, it seems initially that it might cause problems... However I don't think the case bezel actually sits fully flush with the glass. There's a soft, flexible barrier used to keep dust out, and I think this is what keeps the comparability. I can try posting a picture if needed but from what I'm reading around I haven't seen anybody claiming incompatibility with the Pursuit so far.
Of course, I just installed my Dome today so I'll let you guys know how the pursuit goes for me.
EDIT: Fits perfectly fine. No part of the case is really touching the glass. Just be careful when putting the case on is all.

Yes it seems like the case come close to the screen, but there is a gap with a barrier which is raised off the glass letting the WhiteStone dome fit.

I have Spigen Liquid Armor, Slim Armor, Ultra Hybrid Clear, and Air Skin.
I'm very sure Air Skin can fit, and also Slim Armor cannot fit.
I need to verify Liquid Armor and Ultra Hybrid can fit. Anyone also using the same type?
Master list indicate Liquid Armor cannot fit, and Ultra Hybrid can fit. But I need a review from the users direct if there's any.

Whitestone dome compatible cases

Looking to order a compatible case with Whitestone dome glass. Looking for something that doesn’t sit right on top of the glass, just in case it pushes it up when in and out of the pocket and bag

Spigen. Using it with Whitestone. No issues.

The rugged armor supposedly doesn't fit, which is a shame as i was using that one on each and every one of my smartphones. The tough armor fits perfectly though, and i am quite happy with it. The kickstand might be useful but doesn't seem to be that robust. Time will tell.
Another favorite of mine was the ringke onyx case. That one does not fit.

I've used the Spigen Neo Hybrid in the past and currently the UAG Monarch with the Whitestone and have had zero issues.

I meant in combination with the whitestone dome glass. The upper lipp was just sitting too tight. I didn't want to risk the glass to peel up, so i deemed it as unfit.

You should have a look at this list, made for S9/S9+: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11upU3Lh5bIZl3rPAoN23gCxBDU6MwkNZyEzY01HLUeE
Unfortunately, even if one case from company works, it doesn't mean that the rest are compatible. There are even cases of the same lineup (Spigen Ultra Hybrid) which are compatible and others aren't. In my opinion, if you want an ultra-thin case, then the Torras is the best bet. The Spigen Neo Hybrid is great (got one) for slim ---but adequate- protection. If you want the best protection possible, you should be looking at the UAG Monarch (expensive) or Otterbox Symmetry & Strada
Personally, I gave up on the Whitestone and now got myself an Otterbox Strada. Partly due to VR compatibility (I do AI research and now working on a VR project) and partly due to installation problems; once with the phone sitting tool was weirdly tight (compare to the 2nd kit I got) for the phone and the other it was my fault. Also, I got tired to looking for cases that are compatible. VR

I used that list posted above and this has been my experience so far.
I can confirm that UAG Plasma will push on the Whitestone.
The Spigen Neo Hybrid does work with Whitestone, but there's very little separation between case and Whitestone. The case does extend past the added thickness of the glass, so it will protect the Whitestone if placed face down.
Samsung Alcantara case doesn't seem to push the Whitestone despite seemingly touching. Perhaps the alcantara fibers makes it look worse than it actually is, but I didn't want to take the risk.
I'm currently using a Tech21 Evo Tactical and it gives the largest space to the Whitestone than any of the previous covers above. It's also a very thin case, yet has great drop protection. Lastly, this case provides more face down protection than the Neo Hybrid.

I went with the tech21 evo tactical due to @coiledwire post above

No, I haven't tried it yet. I'm usually a minimal case user, so UAG Plasma is just about as big as I'd want to go.

Agreed. My Whitestone install is 99.9% perfect and I don't want a case to mess with it. I'm loving this tech21 case. Its pricy for what it is, but it works really well with the Whitestone, looks nice, and feels solid.

UAG monarch fits really well, plenty of space like the tech21 tactical

Has anyone tried the Griffin Survivor Strong Clear?

I can confirm the Whitestone Dome is compatible with the Griffin Survivor Strong Clear case.

Does anyone know if the mous cases are compatible?

Recommendation for case & display protection

Hey guys,
I am looking for the best display protection film for my S10+.
I don't think it should cover the selfie cameras because of quality loss. Also it should be compatible with a case.
There are always so many of them and it takes hours to compare the reviews on amazon to find the best one.
If you know any good cases I would be very thankful for sharing. I need a thin and simple one.

I don't know in what universe your case is slim and simple Look to the attachment; that is whats simple and slim. Yours is more like surviving a worlwar
The problem with tempered glass covers for rounded phone displays is always that the glass doesn't fit 100% to the screen so they put 2 lines of glue on it instead of using adhesion & cohesion like the films do.
Don't get me wrong, I like glass more than films but there are no good glasses for phones with rounded edges.
But thank you very much for your help

For screen protecter i use Alien Surface™

Anyone have any feedback on the R-Just or Gundam cases?

With regards to display protection I would strongly recommend these I had the stock screen protector till it got too scratched then I got this one looks just as good no bubbles don't even notice it on there most of the time. The installation is a bit complicated but well worth the extra effort.

It would be great to know what Samsung puts on it. The OEM screen protector works well. The reviews on Amazon for every one of the protectors are awful. The IQ Shield has the best reviews of the bunch, but I am hesitant based on the negative ones.
I figure I'll use the OEM one until it is too scratched and then live dangerously with it naked.
Regarding thin cases - I've liked the Spigen Thin Fit - but it breaks easily. The Spigen Rugged Armor is a bit thicker but much more durable. For the s10, I am using a UAG - but it feels more like a tank - which strangely enough I am liking. Not too bulky and it gives a good grip.

Try Whitestone Dome Glass.. I heard its good.
I'm using my S10+ without any case and screen protector just like my old iphone x and s8..

DO you use them on the original screen protector?
