I just got my UAG Monarch series for my S8+. As usual it fits great, the keys are very responsive. Now I hope I can find a good tempered glass that fits without peeling off. I installed an IQ shield (wet install) and had to trim the edge (badly trimmed off by me).

How does it do for edge protection?? Is the top and bottom lip seem to give decent protection on the screen when face down? It barely raises the screen off the desk when face down. I have the Spegein Heavy Armor and it almost feels like the phone will fall out at the first good impact. It also doesnt seem to have much edge protection at all.
It has around 1mm gap
Is the gap enough though? I've always liked UAG cases and something that will protect the device well. This is my first edge phone,so not sure if it will be enough
I agree on that, I might have to go back to an otter box. I hate bulking up the phone like that.
I think the gap is much better for me than my spigen liquid armor
Thank you for posting pictures of this case!
I ordered it off of amazon, but unfortunately, it will be getting shipped in a month .
But I really wanted to see how it looked, so thank you so much for this!
You're welcome. Pre ordered mine on the 1st week of April from uag site, got 2 days after my s8+ arrives
Really nice case, you have better pictures then the UAG website. I didn't realize it was two tone like that.
I'm really curious how the dimensions of the Monarch compare to an Otterbox Commuter or Symmetry. Any chance you could get ahold of one or both of those and do side-by-side photos?
I don't have otterbox case. But im still waiting for the Pelican case to cone out.
Any idea how long these take to ship to the UK from UAG? Thanks.
I pre-ordered this 1 week before my S8+ came. It took about a week when i got it from uag USA. Not sure about UK, sorry.
I have the Monarch for my S8+, in addition to a couple of Plasmas (Ice & Cobalt). I prefer the Plasma, as it feels sturdier - the lower lip on the Monarch is flimsy. However, the Monarch feels slimmer on the sides, making it a bit easier to hold.

Was your Monarch a little bowed in the middle when you took it out of the package?
Hope UAG makes the Midnight Edition like they did for the iPhone 7 Plus.

So, is there any new cases coming out from popular brands other than Otterbox?
I used this one from swiss army and it fits the captivate perfectly.

))) I meant Popular Brands that make Quality Cases... Like Speck, Otterbox and others...
Yeah... I really wish Speck made cases for the Captivate.

BUMP! May be something new coming up?
otterbox released their impact series case.. but no defender as of yet
Incipio just came out with a case for the captivate. I have one of their hard cases for my Zune HD and am very happy with the quality. I'm tempted to pick up one for my Captivate. Right now I'm using an Invisibleshield but wouldn't mind a little more protection.
I just got the Otterbox Impact case for the Captivate not ten minutes ago in the mail. Shipping was ok, I ordered it last Thursday. Seems really solid and thick enough that it could take a decent impact or drop. I like it so far but the increase in size will have to grow on me. It's not a ridiculous increase, puts it about to the size of a 3GS iPhone really. Other than that it comes with a screen protector and has a good feel in your hands. I got it for right under $18.00 with shipping using the coupon code "tb1010y".
Check this and this. These look pretty solid, and are very reasonably-priced!

Bought this case in the mall at a kiosk.
http://store.mybat.com/smoke-argyle-candy-skin-cover-18120.html
1. That design, barely visible. It's actually A LOT darker case. Especially when on the phone.
2. It's thick flexible plastic. Hard Gel-like. Not a rubber skin that gets caught up in your pocket.
3. It's the exact same shape as the phone. A true "skin'.
4. Light. Adds almost no additional weight to the phone.

I have that same case, only in green. I agree with your assessments, it really is a great case. I am curious about the Otterbox cases though, have never used them before.

IDK about the first one, but the snap on case isn't that good. I have the black version. The snaps are broken in several spots, the case opens itself when dropped (what good is that?), and occasionally when pulling out of my pocket the case is literally falling off.
YMMV, but if I had to do it again, I'd avoid the Amzer rubberized snap on case at all costs.
Body Glove TPU case is all you need.
Hey there guys Cruzerlite is back! They had awesome cases for the Nexus 4 and I plan on getting the black one for my (soon to ship) Nexus 5
Here's the link, they are affordable and reliable. http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-Bu...1383598345&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+5+cruzerlite
Ooh, thanks for the update! I loved how thin and bulkless it made my N4
I got a few of the bugdroid cases ordered. Can't wait. I have loved my evo lte case since it dropped, dropping it hundreds of times. Cheap and good basic protection.
I ordered a teal bugdroid one. It shipped yesterday from Hong Kong. I wonder how long it'll take to get here.
Ordered a green Androidified for the wifey and a Spi case for me.
I ordered the clear bug droid. I have yet to be disappointed with a Cruzerlite case:good:.

How well do these cases protect the front?
How about a drop that lands on an edge?
They only show the back of the phone, not any front pics.
Anyone have a pic of the front with the case on?
Edit: Since its buy 2 get one free I ordered one of the armor ones and two different color smaller ones. Lots of choices now. The phone kinda ugly and looks fragile so having a case or three is important to me.

There's a video review on Amazon. The guy seems to think it will "definitely" protect the phone from a fall... not sure how definite that is, but it seems well built albeit very thin.
Here is mine with the clear case on:

I had the spigen equivalent for the note 7 and it was much slimmer than the VRS case is. I may wind up returning the VRS one. It's just thicker than what I'm looking for.

no glass protector at present can cover the LG logo, the glass starts to curve off, you will get a air gap, there was a company called icroo, that could do it, but I think they closed down, they had the perfect protector for the G5, but it was also very expensive.
The screen protector was not very good. I removed it as it only covered the primary screen and was very narrow on both sides. I knew the whole screen wasn't possible due to the screen cultivation, but I felt this implementation was still subpar.
The VRS case was outstanding. Good grip and protection. Fitment was great. Kickstand is handy. It is a little wider in the hand then say the spigen offering I'd say (I'll be comparing once that one arrives). The only gripe I have about the case is that the headphone jack passage is rather small and will not clear many headphone plugs.

Just picked up one I was waiting for months!! yay!!
I just ordered as well.
https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01LXS2BQW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A15B6GUOHXBIHM&psc=1
Me too! Love these cases.
You are telling me about it the second I found out is the second I bought it lol!
me too! ordered in a blink of an eye
Just shipped getting mine monday! will post pics!
I'll be ordering this within the week. This will be my third case and hopefully my last
I can't wait to see some pics. I like how small the included case is, and I don't want the phone to be even bigger. If this case doesn't add too much bulk, it's be nice to have a little extra protection.
Is it a hybrid case? The pictures make it seem like ours just a soft case. I prefer a hybrid (soft case with shell)
Just got it so far button feel very responsive its a soft-case but feels very sturdy not flimsy whatsoever
My wife has the hybrid case for her S7, I got the Spigen on Saturday and mulling over sending it back. The shape is slim, yet protective and just enough lip around the screen and the camera lens. Overall, I'm just not happy with the texture when I pick it up.
I had this case for my P9 and loved it. Hope will be avail in the UK soon.

Got mine yesterday, had one on my Nexus 6P and loved it..... Love it on my Axon 7 too!
It's not that flimsy rubber, or lose fitting.... it's stiff, fits tight and perfect.
I'm SOOOOOooooo glad this case finally came to the A7!
In terms of size, how does it compare to the included case. I realize the included case is minimal protection at best but I like that it doesn't completely disrupt the lines of the phone.
Thanks
I wanna get one but it's not even close to being worth the $20 they're asking for it.

Mine was $12.99 shipped and still showing for that price.... In the USA, anyways.
Better built than any other case out (to date), IMO. And doesn't feel "sloppy" on the phone.

Don't go for slickwraps!
I ordered a skin for my s7 edge and it didn't even last 3 months. Better go for Dbrand as quality is better and you can get good discounts if you're buying more than one.
Dbrand don't have natural series .

I've tried both and go back to Slickwraps nature series as they feel great, last ages, and are made from real leather. DBrand are leather patterns printed on Vinyl, not real leather.
Closest I found on Amazon is Galaxy S8 iPlus Flip Case $29.98 /w Free Shipping. Average of 5 stars on 128 reviews.
The "Distressed Tan Leather" on the slickwraps ordering page is so much lighter than this in color. This looks more like the Dark Brown... now I'm really unsure which one I want to order.. I assume the dark brown is going to be REALLY dark then?
Distressed Tan Leather:
Dark Brown Leather:
How does this feel on the phone? I know the natural series are thicker so they stick up more. I got one for my Nexus 6 but I didn't like the way it felt so I took off the actual plastic back and applied the skin as a back replacement directly to the internals so it would sit flush. How does it feel on the S8 though? I've been thinking about getting one for a while cause I love the leather look and feel, right now I'm using a Pierre Cardin leather case but I really prefer the phone to be naked.
Can these rip? I mean once they're on the device? They offer no protection whatsoever, correct? I'm not asking to say they're not good, just that ascertain if they offer any protection to the device or are they just for show? Would they work if you tired to use a battery case such as a mophie atop them? No, wouldn't try it, but just curious HOW thick they are.

I just installed this on my s8+. it's a great skin. Only problem is that it does not work with the rhinoshield crashguard bumper. The buttons are real hard to press after the skin is installed and it sides come off even more. If anyone knows of any good cases that'd work with the leather skin let me know
I am using Blackened Ash on my S8+ with RhinoShield CrashGuard. Since these pics I got bottom corners under CrashGuard a little bit better. Doesn't look PERFECT but excellent combo for me. [emoji122][emoji108][emoji106] When holding phone people just see top half anyways and bottom corners being imperfect isn't super noticible. Maybe one of the leather wraps that could "compress" a TINY bit would go under CrashGuard better. Unsure.
