Need suggestions on both Case and Screen Protector - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Accessories

Hi everyone so I just ordered S8+ via Amazon, very excited as it's supposted to arrive this weekend.
I'd like to hear your opinions on the best Case and Screen Protectors there are out there.
I don't care about price, and/or if it will cover the back; I just want them to be the best protections there are for my phone.
Ty

Ok, this is going to come across like I'm being a ****, and I swear I'm not. Did you look at any of the threads here already? There's TONS of threads addressing this very question, including at least two labeled "Best screen protector."
The other issue is the "best" case or screen protector is such a subjective question, as people's taste, desires, and needs vary wildly. There is no "best," only opinions. So search through some threads, read those opinions, look at the pictures posted and links posted, then tell us what you went with and if you're happy with it or not.

You can look at this section
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/accessories
Look on YouTube for reviews.
Like the post on top of mine, one can say it's the best but for me it might not be.

while I agree with others that there are plenty of threads already, but here's my set up: rhinoshield crashguard with white stone dome tempered glass and dbrand dragon skin. beautifully, slim, protective, and best of all, they work perfectly with each other.

well i can borrow someone's phone to take the pics but here's a youtube link to a similar setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ObFLMC7vFM
his take on the crashguard is bad, i had to do modification on mine to make the buttons easier to press. Also, I believe they updated the crashguard for better fit, but for now, im happy with mine.

Anti-Glare/Fingerprint Screen Cover by Sir Lancelot's Armor

Has anyone tried these screen protectors yet? They have 8 reviews, all of which are 5 stars. Surprised nobody has mentioned these yet. I went ahead and ordered one to see how it looks. I know it's going to be the matte finish but I'm wondering how the fit is because nobody mentions the fit in a negative manner in any of those reviews.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZNVWO4/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Looking forward to hearing about the "clear" version.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Would love to hear how you like this as well. Any time there is a random product with all five stars I get suspicious, so be sure to give us a review!
Yeah, they do have the ultra-clear version too (http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._17?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1332858648&sr=1-17) but it's unavailable so wasn't able to order that one. Really just want to see how the fit is...if it's a hybrid of the full size plus SGP's size then I think it will be perfect!
I think its safe to say just about every single one of those reviews are fabricated... some guy commenting even pointed out that one of the reviewers had written a review on multiple products of the same company in the same day.
But alas, try it out, I do like Anti-glare protectors, and report back here, I'll be awaiting a quick (real) review!

Damn, I didn't see that last review comment. I feel like I kind of got ripped off now. Oh well we will see, if it sucks too badly then I'll just return it. Amazon customer service FTW.
I'd love to know as well, I stumbled upon that same exact screen protector this morning, and a quick Google search led me here (was also skeptical of the reviews after reading the last comment).
I LOVE matte screen protector's, but I haven't been able to find one the does not 'rainbow' on the Galaxy Nexus. Need something to stop my sweaty fingers from smudging up the screen! I will be waiting for your review as well, and possibly a close up camera pic to show possible 'rainbowing'?

As a recommendation, I'm using the anti-glare "Basal Guard" from Amazon. The fit is very good, only problem is that it does lip on the edges, if you have a case that covers the edges though you wouldn't be able to tell. As far as rainbowing goes, I don't see any, and it has the standard matte feeling to it.
The antiglare effect is very heavy on the protector, some will hate it, some will appreciate it, I personally do think it detracts from the beautiful screen, but I love the matte feeling so I kept it on.
So I just got it in today and after using it for the day I've decided to take it off already. This is a very heavily matted type screen cover so the rainbow looking pixels are very noticeable on anything white which bugs the living hell out of me. HOWEVER, the fit is near perfect. I think they hit the perfect size from the edge so it doesn't lift up so I will definitely be ordering their ultra-clear one when the come back in stock. I will put up a picture as soon as I get my hands on my girlfriend's camera to show you guys.

Video Review: Diztronic Matte Black TPU Case

Hey fellas,
Today I'm reviewing a classic case, the Diztronic matte black TPU case. Affordable and reliable clearly describe this case. It is a simple TPU case that features a matte black coating while keeping a slim and streamlined form factor. Fits great on the device while staying comfortable to hold. Offers great scratch protection but only minimal drop protection.
Check out the full review below for more info;
You need to align the phone perfectly from the top before popping in the bottom. I have the same case and its not misaligned like that
I have the same case too and it is perfectly aligned, btw great video.

A lot of people seem to be telling me that, I've tried realigning the case multiple times now, so I'm thinking it may be a defect with this particular one. I'll test out the others I have and check that out.
Ummm, was my original comment deleted? I know for a fact I made a reply shortly after the thread was created...

Thank you! Since you and others say that, I will test out with the other cases I had and see if it might have been an issue with that particular case. Cheers!

Looking for a "clear" case to protect my S3

I know this has probably been asked about a thousand times (if not more) and you're all probably sick of answering it, but searching for the word "clear" and "case" in the forum shows up a ton of stuff, so I figure it might be easier for me to just ask outright.
I'm basically looking for a clear, or as close to clear case as I can get, to protect my S3 but without adding too much bulk and weight. I have the blue S3 and I don't see the point in putting a black case around it, so does anyone know of any? I was looking on Amazon and they have a load of clear TPU cases (that are all pretty cheap) but I worry about getting third party or unofficial cases incase they cover the ports or something silly
So yeah, hit me with your recommendations guys and gals! And thanks

I have order two different clear cases and will be doing reviews of them as soon as they come in, which should be next Monday at the latest. Both of the ones I ordered were advertised and pictured as completely clear. You are right - there are a ton of them out there and, while seemingly the same, I don't think they are. I'll have pictures/impressions if you don't mind being patient. However, I'm sure you'll get plenty of results in this thread.
Good Luck!
Awesome! I look forward to your reviews. Would you mind posting the links in here when you put them up, just so that I definitely look at them and find them easily?
Thanks a lot

I have a clear TPU case from Handhelditems.com and I really can't rave enough about it. Super thin, fits great, and is totally transparent. For the price you can't beat it.

Does it have cutouts for volume and power buttons? That's a must for me.

I just got this case last night and haven't had enough time with it to write/record a proper review, so I thought I'd direct you to my pictures of it in another thread on this forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30362349&postcount=50
My first impressions: very light and virtually zero bulk. The case must be less than 1mm thick, so you can hardly notice that is even there. It clearly (no pun intended) will protect the back of the phone quite well; however, one can notice that the top and the bottom of the phone aren't well protected. This is unfortunately the drawback to non-bulky hard cases, and other shell cases have the same issue (such as my elago G5 Breathe Case that I posted in that same forum thread). I will be getting other clear cases in the coming days and should be able to post pictures and impressions of them in this forum.
I have clear Belkin case. I want to sell. Bought for 30 from best buy. Asking 20

That's the one i'm using right now. It's a "Frosted" clear case... in that it's not entirely transparent, but you can still see some blue through it. Can actually still see the AT&T and Galaxy S3 logo's plain as day for some odd reason through it. If you'd like, i could snap a few quick pics.
Beware: Those clear (transparent) cases, tend to turn yellow over time.
I have the one from Monoprice as well. I really like it, and for the price, you can't beat it if you want a clear case and minimum bulk.

Nillkin Cases

Hey guys,
I have heard a lot of positive things about the Nillkin Cases.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321095152464&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
I ordered the black one. Slim and grippy. Had one on my One X and Nexus 4.
I also ordered a metallic blue ROCK case; slim as well, and looks absolutely gorgeous.

Should I have gotten the white or black Nillkin for a silver HTC One?
You guys should definitely look into getting it. Slim and grippy. Had one on my One X and Nexus 4.

Seriously why waste space posting a new thread to ask a question like that? What colour depends on your personal preference... Theres a whole thread for cases and many have experience with the Nilkin case. Contrast to what you have said, people have said that has is slippy and not grippy.

I'm usually opposed to opening unnecessary threads, but there are a lot of people in the case thread asking/posting about it and its nearly impossible to sort through 60+ pages to find information about one case. Discussions also get lost in there.
It's extremely counter-intuitive to have one case about 100 different cases... Especially since this is an accessories sub-forum... so...

Do a search from within the thread for nilkin and I am sure u will get what you want. Tbh asking what color to get is like I said, based on taste and preference. As you said the thread is 'one thread with 100 different cases', but then there is probably only a handful of people with that specific case. You've opened a thread,to get those few people to tell you which colour to get....
Will this case catch in my pocket?
I've had the black nillkin case for a couple of weeks. I imported from a Chinese wholesaler.
I've used nillkin for a lot of my phones and the quality of this is top notch. Excellent fit and doesn't catch at all. Mines a silver HTC one as well and looks really good.

Awesome, thanks man. I'll post pics when i get my phone/case.
If u want to see the pictures in case and acc. I have seen someone post the black one around page 19 and white one around page 30 hope it's help I'm looking to order brown:cyclops:
i choose black
I ordered in White and Black. They are cheap enough to order a couple. I also ordered silver and white in the Rock Thin cases as well. The build quality is what I expect from these type of cases. It's not too bad at all.
I just got a metallic blue ROCK case, it looks SO SEXY.

Really stuck between the 2 screen protectors

pelosi-high-anti-explosion-tempered-glass-screen-protector
there's definitely more mentions about orzly's on this forum but has anyone else tried the one above from Pelosi?
Perhaps I'll go with whichever one fits the Cruzerlite Bugdroid cases the best
I apologize, this is such a horrible 1st post from a new user but I suppose I'm in a rush like many of you were when getting certain accessories...
so... opinions?
cheers
Orzly. The Pelosi has the extended holes with a cut out for the camera and sensor. Personally I don't like that. Otherwise they're about the same quality.
Can only speak for the orzly, it's top notch. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
