Hello everyone!
I was considering purchasing this case for my Note 10+. I was wondering if any one is using this case currently or has used this case in the past with their Note 10+. How is the quality? How did it hold up? Does it protect well? Are there any issues with the tpu becoming stretched or not fitting well against the Note 10+. Thanks you!

So my wife and I just upgraded to the new S7's. I decided to get the Edge, my wife got the normal S7. It was very easy to find a nice protective case for her phone,(which she absolutely loves) but as much as I really like the bigger screen and this neat edge design, I am weary of dropping it and breaking the screen.
Ive been scouring the internet trying to find the best protective case I can find that isn't ridiculously bulky. Naturally there are many opinions of which are the best.
At the moment, Im trying the Spigen Neo-Hybrid crystal premium bumper case. It fits really nice. Looks pretty good. It has a 1.3mm bezel around the corners,(1.8mm around the camera)which is decent, but I wouldn't mind something with a bit more protection. This case does seem to cover a bit more of the edge panels than some other pics of protectors Ive seen. I used a UAG case on my S5 for nearly 2 years now and I can't even tell you how many times I dropped it and there isn't a scratch on the thing! But Im kinda tired of that same ol' style they keep sticking with, and I dont know how good their Edge case actually is. Style is a bit important to me, but quality of protection definitely takes priority. I dont own a wireless charger yet, so getting a case that supports it isnt high on my priority list.
So , what are you all using to protect your S7 edges? Ive been looking into many brands and I keep finding ones that I havent even heard of before! Ill list some of the ones Ive seen recommended in a following post.
I'm using the Spigen Tough Armor and it's fantastic. Probably dropped my phone about 4-5 times and it's done it's job. It fits really snug and isn't bulky at all. It's on amazon for 17.99. If you have any questions about that case let me know

Cool. I've been considering trying the Tough Armor. I think I'll give that a try.
I use the tough armor as well. Dropped phone many times lol. Love it.
Edit...
Also just ordered a hybrid. Kind of a otterbox looking case, off of eBay.

Cool. My tough armor should be arriving today. Looking forward to checking it out. I want to make sure my Edge stays as protected as possible without walking around with a something the size of a retro Sony Walkman cassette player in my pocket lol.
I also got this screen protector called IllumiAquashield. I heard good things about it. Its a little tricky to apply, but I've seen in videos that it looks incredible when applied properly. Im really picky about screen protectors, but I know the Edge is a bit more fragile than the regular S7, and I can't afford to take any chances.
Just an update, got my other case yesterday, seems good, however it's massive. I'm going back to my tough armor. I'm also looking for a good screen protector.

I use the Samsung branded clear case. It's very minimal and doesn't interfere with the edge of the screens. This, and the iPhone 6S Plus I had before this, are the only phones I've ever used cases on. I never really liked the feel of the phone with cases and it takes away from the phone and the way it's meant to be. However, these last two clear cases have been nice.

I'm using the otterbox defender on my s7 edge. I also own the supcase unicorn beetle pro. Been rocking the otterbox defender for the built in screen protector and it's a bulkier case so I feel it will provide the most protection of the 2 cases.

I've been using the Cover-Ups Explorer case. It has minimal drop protection but looks very nice with the wooden back. However, today I ordered a SUPcase Unicorn Beetle Pro (what a terrible name!) because it looks like it can be installed over screen protectors without any issues.
I gotta say, the Spiegen Tough Armor is wonderful so far! My phone feels much safer than it did in the other case! I think Ill be sticking with this. Buttons are a little tougher to press vs. the Neo Hybrid Crystal, but Its worth it for the extra protection imo.

I grabbed the IllumiAquashield off of Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5VMRCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im pretty picky when it comes to screen protectors. This is really great so far! Its a wet application and when done properly it looks fantastic! Can hardly tell that there is a protector on the screen. Just read the application tips that people added in the reviews if you decide to get it.
Its also case friendly. Fits perfect with my Tough Armor, and there's no sign of the edges lifting up from taking the case on and off. Im genuinely impressed. The kit comes with 2 protectors and they guarantee them for life.
Some pretty respectable points about the company aside from the warranty too. Theyre made in America and manufactured using 100% renewable energy ( just in case you care about that sorta thing).
Like I said, My application went on flawlessly, so if you have any questions, just shoot me a pm!
Description for both do not list a TPU case but an unboxing video for the Pro 3 show a clear TPU case in the box for free. I can't find if the S3 has the same inside the box?
Clear case and screen protector for the Pro 3.
Dont see how it matters lol. That case is rubish and not even worth 1$
Both the Pro 3 and S3 come with a clear TPU case and I believe a pre-applied screen protector (can't really recall on the S3).

That is correct. I own both.
My Pro 3 didn't come with a case.
My Pro came with pretty decent case and glass screen protector, phone was in the case, screen protector wasn't installed.

Having a real hard time finding my screen protector then
Pro 3 here (Lex720)
To clarify, I am interested in the USA versions.
I am sure there are many differences when buying the Chinese versions from various sites like gearbest.
Bought both a S3 and a Pro3 on the 11/9 flash sale. Both came with a clear case and preinstalled screen protector. Very nice bonus.
I own a naked S7E unlocked. I'm choosing between Spigen Neo Hybrid or VRS Design High Pro Shield. Which one is a better suggestion??
Take a look at the S7 Edge Accessories forum - there's plenty of advice on cases there.
Hello
i am looking for a premium case, a slim one for my s9+, any ideas of any good ones? i am looking at the pitaka cases but they are not out yet
As someone who used the Pitaka for my S8, I now have the Samsung hyperknit case and like it a lot. Not quite as thin as the Pitaka but good coverage and I like the texture. I also have the Samsung Alcantara case on order. Still considering the Pitaka if/when they release, I liked it a lot for my S8.
I'm using the Samsung Alcantara since the Galaxy S8. Love them. Had them on my S8 Plus, Note 8 and now the S9 Plus. They feel great and not thick
I have purchased a lot (way too many) cases for my Note 10 + Aura Glow 5G and so I thought I would share my favorites, daily drivers, garbage, and disappointments.
[Amazon] Meifigno Magic Series - It's a foggy black slightly see through case with a soft smooth matte finish. It is a case I keep handy pretty much when I'm going to more formal work events as it somewhat hides the flashy Aura Glow but you can still see through it somewhat and it's extremely durable while still being fashionable. it's not a cheap TPU it's very well made. $15.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid - TPU on the sides yet very hard clear back to show the Aura Glow. This is my "go to the gym" case as it's got solid protection, is see through, and it feels solid in the hand w/ zero slip. $11.99
[Amazon] Design Skin Genuine Leather Phone Case and Card Holder for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, with Elastic Hand Strap for Extra Grip - Black - This case I had VERY high hopes for but in the end this was my biggest disappointment. At $24.99 I expected something perfect w/ this hand strap but the sides were flimsy (think car mount side bending, and the metal bars on the back are so big that wireless charging was impossible for all of my various chargers.
[Amazon] Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Salawat Slim PU Leather Vintage Shockproof Phone Case Cover Lightweight Soft TPU Bumper Hard PC Hybrid Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G 6.8inch (Dark Brown) This case looks very nice but it's all for show. The fake leather will fool anyone looking at it however it's a bit odd to hold as the leather folds into the black edges which are then very sharp which constantly catches my skin. Good protection and I will use it from time to time But not often at all. $9.99
[Amazon] ESR Mimic Series Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, 9H Tempered-Glass Back Cover, Flexible TPU Bumper, Hybrid Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+/ 10 Plus /5G 6.8 inch (2019), Clear
Now this is a work of art. If you want the best looking case to show off your Aura Glow it's this one and will still give you solid protection. It actually has a 9H Tempered Glass back (finger print magnet but easy to wipe). It honestly doesn't get better than this. Great button feel too. This is my daily driver. $18.99
[Amazon] ESR Metal Kickstand Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Vertical and Horizontal Stand, Reinforced Drop Protection,Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ / 10 Plus / 5G 6.8" (2019),Clear This is my primary travel case due to it's incredibly solid feel for great protection, it's clear, and the kick stand is the best I have ever used as you can use it in many different angles as well as in Portrait mode! Additionally the stand is placed in a spot that allows for wireless charging on all of my chargers. This is the heaviest case I use, but granted the kickstand is metal so it's worth it. The additional gripping area due to the stand make the phone feel solid in your hand more than any other case I have. This could easily be the only case someone could have and never think of getting another. $18.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid S Designed for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case/Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G Case (2019) - Crystal Clear - I love Spigen cases, but this one was just hot garbage as you would buy it for the stand and the stand is crap. Move on. $11.99
[Amazon] Eonfine Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Case,Built-in Screen Protector Heavy Duty Shockproof Rugged Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus/Note 10 Plus 5G (Black+Clear)(Fingerprint Unlock with Fingerprint Film) This case is OK and I will only use it when I'm traveling internationally to Mexico or somewhere where I know I'll be on a beach a lot or doing some sports. It's fingerprint friendly for unlocking. It's not a big winner but will do the trick. $16.99
[Amazon] ESR Essential Zero Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Made with Slim, Clear, and Soft TPU, Flexible Silicone Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ - It's a TPU case, works just fine, I like it, and use it if I'm doing some gym workouts but it's not my 1st choice as I like the other ESR case w/ the hard back more for the gym. It's just a bit slimmer. $10.99
[Ebay] Hybrid Shockproof Armor Kickstand Case Cover, it's cheap, $8, ok for someone that just wants a kickstand case on the cheap. Looks ok, black gripy back.
[Ebay] Leather Removable Wallet Magnetic Case Cover - for $11.95 I was actually happy w/ this case as you can take the phone out of the wallet case due to the phone case portion being attached to it via magnets and the phone case portion w/ leather looked nice. Unfortunately the plastic ends that clip the phone end broke very easily w/ in the 1st couple of days. They just didn't size it right making it far too tight and the fold puts pressure on the left side of the phone tabs where they broke.
[Ebay] Galaxy Note 10 Plus S10 Deluxe Leather Card Holder Flip Case Cover for $10 these were ok, I got 2 different colors. They are nice for "going out" and holds 1 card. If you're taking the spouse out to diner these are fine.
[Wish] I ordered a few of those ultra slim cases from wish which come from China and honestly I just love these things. They are the thinnest cases I buy, the phone buttons are exposed, and they have a small lip so if you place your phone face down on a flat surface the screen shouldn't touch the surface. They are like $3 each or something so I get a few colors. When you just want to not use a case but still want some protection for "just in case" these are the way to go.
I hope this helps, I didn't post links because I'm not endorsing any seller but I do have to give a shout out to ESR as they really did knock it out the park with their various cases and my top 3 cases for daily use (Work, Gym, going out) are all theirs and I would have chosen them regardless of who made it. I hope this helps!
Thank you for all that! What about Pitaka?

It's a nice and sturdy case if you actually use the magnetic holder feature. If not then I would look elsewhere as you're then paying for a feature that you won't use. I could use a magnet holder in my wife's BMW but I couldn't in my Honda S2000 sports car as it rides much harder and there isn't a magnet strong enough to hold the Note 10+ steady and not fall off.
Thanks about the thread, it really helps
Anyway the ESR essensial zero... is it fingerprint/smudge magnet too?bc I use ESR mimic and can't stand the fingerprint
Thanks for the detailed info, it reinforces why I purchased the ESR kickstand case last night from other reviewers. My question is which wireless chargers are you using and are you using any wireless stands in portrait mode? I can see that kickstand hump being an issue with many stands in that orientation. Thumbs up once again for your detailed experiences, much appreciated.
