I just received the Samsung Alcantara case today. Not too bulky. It feels really really nice in your hand. You will get good grip with this case.
The material feels like suede. The part on the back where the sensors are located is well designed! Also, very good for locating the fingerprint scanner.
I would say this case is the most beautiful case, compared to all the fugly Spigen condoms and tanks. This Alcantara is quit expensive, but well worth it. You got some real ''artcraft'' in your hand.
You pay for the quality of this not too bulky case, compared to the fugly condoms and tanks of Spigen. ( Ihave about 4 of them here at home in my drawer, dont fancy any of these cases).
Again, for me this THE perfect combo of minimalism, some scratch protection but most of all, desgin/material wise. I spend the last, like 10 days, searching for the ultimate minimalistic case with a nice design
Like Flossy mentioned in his review: A big go on this case!
Flossy Carter's review of the Samsung Alcantara;
The Alcantara case doesn't offer enough of a lip. He says as much.
But it sure is purty...especially the gray.
Shoot...I'd buy the case even without the S8...it's that purty!
Too bad Samsung doesn't make one for a 6s.
Samung rep told me about this today. Freakin awesome. Kudos Sammy
Anyone know if a picture of the bottom of the box with sku and serial number will suffice as proof of purchase? The rep at the store never gave me my receipt so all I have is the box.
Edit: Just noticed I didn't quote the correct poster, my bad JayIsAwesome. I'm referring to the case, sd card, and 6 months free of Netflix giveaway through the Shop Samsung app.

I went with the Tech21 Evo Tactical case and I'm very happy with it. I've always liked the Tech21 stuff.

That guy's entertaining... however, can't take his videos seriously.
I love that case, but heck a Kate Spade case would probably offer more protection!
I use this one sometimes and love it. Very minimal...

Anyone who has the Rhinoshield Crashguard bumper for the S8(+)?
I am about to order one. But I read that people are mentioning the bumper is not really tight around the edges. So kind of loose

That's what I've got for my S8 and I absolutely love it: it's incredibly thin and doesn't detract from the look of the phone at allI use this one sometimes and love it. Very minimal...

It's not a "grippy" case, but I've never felt like the phone is going to slip out of my hand nor do I feel like I have to take extra care when handling the phone
My Alcantara case is going to be my fancy going out case when I want to show off.
Just picked up a different one super cheap off eBay (£2 lol) and it is a clear gel case, very minimal, fits like a glove and will off better protection all round. It also seems to enable the fingerprint sensor to actually work now... Best £2 I ever spent!!
Put it this way - the Alcantara case is so nice, it needs a case protector

Strange enough I got a cheapo insignia case from best buy with the intention of dumping it when my real case arrived arrived from spigen. Though I ended up liking it so much I just kept using it.
That alacantara case is hot though.
Ahhhhhhhh im still over here having first world problems choosing between my 7 Plus and S8 Plus as my daily lol...
I use TT a lot and haven't had it crash...but it has been giving me errors when loading pictures latley.
Wait, America is a "first world" country now?!
yeah, but only since Mr. D.J. Trump is the Master of Disaster over there (sorry, off-topic
)
That's interesting. I wonder if it needs to be updated to with better with our phones. I even get notifications that is slowing down my phone. I'll probably clear cache and see what happens.
Anyone know what this little lightning icon is?
I think that is the Download Booster... I'll check my phone next time it's in use.
Do you mind sharing the link to the review? I tried searching it, but no luck.
