Why this is the case for me ( and you)

I purchased this case for my new NOTE 8, I did a lot of reading about the different options, thin without much protection, bulk with too much protection.
I chose this case because it provided what I believe to be the best of both worlds. Sleek design, adequate protection on the corners without adding too much girth to the device. Additionally, I love using my phone to watch movies while on the go and the kickstand is an excellent feature for me.
A great bonus that i was pleasantly surprised to discover was that the case did not block the wireless charger from doing its thing.
All in all a great stylish case the protects my device looks great doing it and doubles as a stand when im on the go.
highly recommended!

This is a great case to protect the Note 8. The case fits well and provides an all around absorbent shell. The rear kickstand is great for watching videos or playing tunes on Pandora. My only fault with this case is that it is not wireless charging friendly (which it should be since its made by Samsung). Otherwise, great case for the price.

This is a great protective cover for you're new note8. It's made by Samsung so it looks perfect. Nice and sleek and offers rugged protection. None of the bulkinesss you get with other rugged phone covers. Samsung logo on the back is a nice touch. Fits perfectly.

I bought this case after buying a Spigen clear case with kickstand. I'm a minimalist case person, as I hardly ever drop my phone. However, with the Spigen, although very nice, it also left quite a lot of finger print smudges all over the back of the case. This case is extremely nice, which is to be expected since its made by Samsung. It's only slightly thicker than the Spigen case so that's a plus as it's not overly bulky, like an Otter box. It also gives great protection on the sides and back of the phone but very little for the front. This is to be expected though because of the curved glass of the Note 8. Overall, an excellent buy, especially if you're looking for a nice case with solid protection. I'm not going to take away a star for the front protection as all cases will be like this because, if there's more protection, then you'll lose the functionality of the curved glass.

Bought this once for myself in the blue color and recently as a gift for Christmas in the black color. I think this is a high quality case - it doesn't show any major signs of wear after one year of use. The only piece of this case that fell apart within the first year of ownership are the metallic colored stickers for the Samsung logo which isn't very important to me anyways as the Samsung logo is "engraved" anyhow. I like that it has just the right amount of grip and has a hidden style kickstand. The only downfall is the overall thickness of the case, but that is a tradeoff for better protection. Both times I purchased this case at a reasonable cost (under $20).

This case is the best fitting case Ive ever had the pleasure of wrapping around my phone. Samsung made it fit 100% and it is sleek, ruggid, and stylish all at the same time. The kickstand is by far the best kickstand I've used on a phone and it blends right in with the case while it is shut.

I feel confident that my phone is getting the drop protection I want when this case is equipped. It's not too bulky but it does add a bit of thickness to your note 8. The stand is not adjustable, it's just one angle, but I actually found the angle pretty reasonable. Great case for the note 8!

First case for my first new phone in YEARS. It fit my Note 8 perfectly, no gaps, has a raised edge to protect my screen, is thick enough to protect the body when it drops which, you know, will happen and yet does not feel bulky/thick. Will be using this for a long time.

I love the way the case fits in my hand. It has a nice grip. The kickstand is a very cool feature. It is easy to remove the phone. The wireless charging leaves a bit to be desired. I puchased a samsung charger with the case at the time I puchased the amazing Note 8. The case does NOT charge when on the wireless charger from Samsung.

This case actually does look nicer and more blue in-person; which I believe someone else mentioned in a review. It does as great job protecting the phone if dropped from pocket/waist height (I haven't dropped it from higher places), and the case is still in cosmetically great shape. The kickstand is also super useful, in the past I've avoided cases with kickstands due to not liking the design or because they're extra bulkier; but, with this case the kickstand is small and well hidden as part of the case. Yes, this case is a bit bulky; the design is ok though and it still fits in regular type pant pockets. The Note 8 does have a huge screen and this case does not have a large enough bezel, so if the phone falls and the screen hits the floor it might not be a good scenario, so maybe consider getting a screen protector as well.

I went with the Samsung cover so that there wouldn't be any problems with fit from a 3rd party supplier. The cover looks great, seems hardy enough to protect my Note 8 and the hideaway stand allows for hands free viewing.

I got this case for my Note 8 about a month ago, and it has already proven its worth. I've somehow managed to drop the phone twice, and both times, my phone was saved. The case is a perfect snug fit, and not bulky, so it still slides right in my pocket. The kickstand comes in handy for when I'm watching Netflix or YouTube videos. I will definitely purchase another one when it's time to upgrade, unless it does in fact fit the Note 9, in which case I'll use it on the Note 9 too.

Easy to get on and off and seems like it'll protect well. Adds the necessary substance to the phone so it's easy to hold. Kickstand is cool. Precludes wireless charging.

Great OEM case. Fits well in my hand, doesn't feel bulky, and i love the kickstand. Only con is that they should have put the stand going the other way so you could use volume buttons.

Note 8 Protective cover from Samsung

Nice fit, looks sleek and for me has not slid around dry or wet. Still kind of weary about dropping. With the Note8 having the infinity screen, the curved class portion could be susceptible to damage. With that I also had the curved glass protector mounted at time of Note purchase. The stand is a benny for use but has a limited range of movement so to watch a movie or videos, phone would need to be located about mid-chest high and roughly 12 to 18 inches minimum away to see (that is just me and my eyes so will be different for others). Weight did not seem to increase as drastically as other protectors do.

I love the feel and look of this case. It feels comfortable to hold and it's got a nice grip to it. It's easy to slide in and out of my pockets. One of the beter phone cases I've ever owned. It's also held up to a few drops, my phones still in one piece. I also like the little kickstand built into the back. Nice when I'm watching videos.

Solid case, nice kickstand

I was going to buy an Otterbox, like I had on my S7 Edge, but this case seemed more sleek and it has the benefit of a kickstand. I was always looking for a way to prop up my phone before. It's not as bulky and perhaps not as protective as the Otterbox, but it is solidly built and keeps the screen off of the surface if the phone is placed face-down. The cutouts on the sides allow full access to the rounded edge of the screen, so it does not obstruct the screen use. It does not have flaps to cover the ports on the bottom, but the ones on the Otterbox were a pain. The instructions say to remove the case for wireless charging. It does charge through the case, so I'm not sure the reasoning for the instruction. This case does need to be removed to use the DeX Station, I could not get the USB Type-C to plug in with the case on. I gave it 4 stars, if it were more cushioned, as the Otterbox case is, but still had the kickstand, I would definitely give it that 5th star.

Very sleek and classy. The case gives the phone a nice rubberized textured feel for added grip. Another plus is the kick stand.

Great Case, protects and hugs phone well. Works with glass screen protectors, kickstand that blends in with the case is awesome.
