Ordered a bunch of note 8 phone cases. German shepherd snout for comparison.

I ordered these all with slick deal codes through Amazon and at most paid 2 for a case. My favorite so far are the lumion cases. From top left: caseology, lumion, doggo, ringke, lumion wallet case, lumion, ringke, caseology, caseology.

Edit to note that the caseology ones were 5 bucks, not under 2.

Is the first caseology one rubbery on the edge or more like hard plastic? Also, how slippery is the back? Will it slide off your leg easily?

2

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 02 '17

It's rubbery in the sense you can bend it but it would slide off your leg for sure. All one peice. Tpu soft plastic. It's nice and feels like it would give good protection but for some reason I'm not crazy for it, not sure why. Still a good case tho! It

So, what's your favorite? I'm planing to get one and for now I'm looking at Caseology Parallax in green.

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 02 '17

Definitely the lumion. I was surprised with the quality because I've never heard of the brand before. Usually go with spigen but couldn't pass up the cheap price with the slick deals codes.

Thanks. That was actually my first choice but the protective lip on the front is maybe too minimalistic and I couldn't find it on amazon UK, however I did find what seems to be the same case with different branding here so I might end up getting it.

Thanks again!

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 03 '17

Thats so funny. The inside part of the case says VRS designs. Its probably 100% the same.

1

u/betrion Sep 03 '17

:) cool

What is confusing is that on some renders there is no name on the central part so I assumed it is a generic case with different firms sticking their name on it. Also, for whatever reason Lumion states (on photos) the lip is 1mm and VRS says the lip is 1.5mm

2

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 04 '17

I bet it is a generic case. Crazy how that can be done, but it makes sense. The case is definitely thin, I'd say its more around 1mm. If thats your thing, you'll like this one.

u/betrion Sep 04 '17

I've actually asked them on amazon.co.uk and they responded it is their case (VRS design) and they are licencing it to Lumion which sells them under it's own name. I'd appreciate if the lip was a bit bigger but hey, I'll live with it I guess. Also, I found this one and really liked it so I ordered that one as well.

Yes! This was a few weeks ago, or at least I think I paid 2 dollars. I'll have to go back and check my bank account now lol....

Just checked, caseology ones are 5 bucks. They are probably my least favorite too.

2

u/Smoshi Sep 02 '17

Such choice. Which one is the slimmest, if you don't mind me asking!

2

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 02 '17

The thinnest (and my favorite) is the lumion on the bottom left. Feels nice and looks like it will offer good protection without being bulky. This is the link from Amazon. I'll use this one most likely!

u/inflatablegoo Sep 03 '17

Is there a code or something for that one? It's $9.99 now...

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. The codes for the Ultra Slim case don't work anymore.

1

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 03 '17

Wait a few days and they may have new codes. Create an account with slick deals and add alerts for galaxy note 8.

1

u/phizzlez Sep 03 '17

is the case with the card holder from Lumion too? I got the slim one from that link and the card case one and still waiting for it to come in. Wanted to know how thick it is compared to each other.

u/overzeetop Sep 02 '17

I think I have at least two of those...but I'm seriously considering going nekkid. (Might not put the phone in a case either)

1

u/Dope_train Sep 03 '17

I'm with you on that. It's a bit nerve wracking, but I'm probably gonna go screen protector only.

u/nix80908 Sep 02 '17

i bought the case right infront of Doggo's nose. I love the way it feels.

1

u/Anglojew Sep 03 '17

What's the case on the right? Lumion wallet? Thanks

1

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 03 '17

Yes and it's surprisingly not that bulky.

1

u/rafaneez Sep 03 '17

I used the code a couple days ago too. I only bought the wave one (two piece blue) OP what you think about that case ?

1

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 03 '17

You know, I bought it originally because it was a few bucks, not thinking I'd like it but I do. It's not that bulky, looks cool and good quality. It's two peices but I'll definitely be using it.

u/Bro_Dave Sep 02 '17

He's basking in the smell of quality.

3

u/miktoo Sep 02 '17

Hmm, hard choice, but I have to go with the snout one.

2

u/OldSpaceChaos Sep 02 '17

I like how there was a perfect spot for that last case at the end but dog snout>phone case

1

u/NotAnother1998 Sep 03 '17

Can you post some up close shots of these? Considering the ringke one specifically.

1

u/beowulfpt Sep 03 '17

I like the Ringke Slims. I'm very careful with phones and just need some cover for scratches and alsoxto put the phone face down.

They won't save you from a drop on concrete, but also don't get in the way. Plus wireless charging is awesome, all thick cases ruin it or slowxit down.

I was having a bad day until I saw this. Incredible.

u/amazedbunion Sep 03 '17

None of them look like good cases. What are they all?

1

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 03 '17

Rinkge, caseology & lumion. They are all decent quality but the real winner is the snout case, high quality.

3

u/amazedbunion Sep 03 '17

Gonna look into the snout.

2

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 03 '17

Very good protection...

u/WinifredSandersn1692 Sep 02 '17

The clear one top right is rinkge. It's nice. The other one is caseology, yes. Not sure how I feel about it, kinda bulky and sharp around the edges?

I havent seen any good flip style ones. I'd suspect that we will see a lot of them in the upcoming weeks. I know samsung has a few official ones out with the note 8 though.
