I couldn't say how many cases I've tried for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8, close to 10 different cases at least. Every one had something about it that made it either insufficient for protection or were too thick which makes my phone uncomfortable to hold in one hand. This inexpensive, basic TPU Insignia soft shell case is everything I've been searching for. It is thin enough to not add excess bulk to the Note 8, but offers enough protection to prevent damage from drops. I have already dropped it on a tile floor and it only caused a small scuff on the case. The best part is how far up the sides the case wraps around the sides of the curved display. It almost touches the sides of the glass screen protector on the display of my phone. The gap is so thin I can just fit a fingernail in the gap. This basically completely protects the curved sides of the Note 8, which are very fragile. I have previously broken the display of my phone with a screen protector and a case on it, but the case left a large enough gap between it and the screen protector, that it was unprotected, and that's exactly where it hit when it fell and cracked the display through the screen protector. I know I won't have that problem ever again with this case. Even though it is snug against the screen protector, it doesn't interfere with it, or any of the "Edge" features. (I use Whitestone Dome type screen protector) I got the clear version of this case. My only complaint is that that it does scratch and scuff easily, and any dirt or lint on the back of the phone (especially black) will show through the case and that may bother some people a lot. It also attracts fingerprints and smears. It wipes clean easily though. Especially considering the price, I couldn't be more satisfied with this case.

This phone case has slots for credit cards and ID along with being durable but not bulky for my cell.

This is a really affordable and secure case. It's lightweight and it's got a slim profile. It doesn't make my note feel bulky or heavy. I ended up buying a second one after my last one (clear) turned a weird yellow color after about a year! Otherwise, this case beats out all my other $40+ cases! Would definitely buy again.

The Insignia soft shell case is light and slim to offer protection without a bulky case. It fits well and is easy to attach to your Galaxy note 8.

Upon purchasing my Note8, I had some difficulty finding the perfect case. I purchased a Samsung specific case and cheaper versions online, they were all either too bulky, didn't fit well or were too slippery. The Insignia Soft Shell Case fits the note perfect, protects the edges, works well with curved screen protectors and feels comfortable in my hand. I wish I purchased this one first.
