Got the bumper and case on Moto.com
The case feels more solid and comfortable in hands because of the curve and thickness. But as you can see the case can easily catch fingerprints on it. Actually the case looks a lot better in reality than in this picture, my bad.
The bumper is a little loose on the left and right side and feels less premium than the case due to the material. But I do love the color and the design to show your finish.
Ps, I got these two with only $15, that's another story.
Forgot one thing. The case can relative cause heating issue. I can feel a little warmer (not hot) with the case under the same usage.
Still a naked phone for me but thanks for sharing.

It's Naked Tough Case for Moto X Pure Edition, you can find it both on Moto and case-mate's website.
Well I ordered the X Pure but my delivery was about one week late, so the rep of moto gave me a coupon of $25 to purchase any accessories on the website. Later I decided to get a bumper, which costs 20. I thought that the coupon of 25 can easily cover the whole price of the bumper (I just thought they will cut the price with maximum 25), but later I found that the coupon didn't work and I was fully charged. I called moto and they told me that I have to make my total purchase over 25 to be eligible to use the coupon. It's kinda sophisticated, let me make some examples:
1, You bought an item under 25, even 24.95, not work. You pay full price.
2, You bought a single item over 25, let's say 29.95, you pay 4.95+shipping.
3, You bought two items with total over 25, maybe one 20 and one 15, you get the 20 free and pay 15+shipping.
See? That's really complex and They did NOT mention this kind of thing anywhere. While after discussion they decided to cancel my original order and send a free bumper, and I can still use that coupon to buy other staff, while I went with the case. That's the whole story, to be frankly, compared with the ending, I would rather they ship my phone on time at the beginning.

The heat is why I would rather use a bumper case. This device IMO gets too hot to have a case on it for my medium to heavy use. Any app that uses the GPU much gets this device hot and a case only helps keep the heat in.
As far as the bumper case, the tube trim seems like it could come off after some wear. Does it seem that way to you? It looks like a blue tube that has been glued to the bumper frame.
I got mine this morning. Really liking it so far. Don't feel like I'm going going to drop the phone any more. I got the grey/black and it goes well with my white front and dark ash wood back.

Hard to say. It looks perfectly flush so I'm thinking it's good for at least a year unless you're really rough on phones. My main worry is dust/grit collection and scuffing up the edges of the phone. I'll make sure to clean it out weekly.

Just wondering if you think the bumper alone can offer protection. The phone is huge and I'd like to avoid any case, but I don't know if that's wise.

Actually it's no complicated. They give a 25$ coupon essentially. It's not a 25$ giftcard where you use it and you have money left over it's a one time coupon to use and you have to use it all

mine is already lose around the buttons area. There is very noticeable slack and looseness on the right side of the phone now. It started tight and flush but not so much now and its only been a week and I've only taken it off once.

Based on the design this is what I expected, but a few months later than now. It would be better off with a harder frame and coated rubber glued around the frame.
I will use the plastic two parter for a while longer I guess. I was going to drill holes in the back, but can see the plastic crack. Need to think about it....
The bumper case it came with was too fragile and broke around the button area. Plastic is too thin. These hard cases though only seem good for scratch protection and keeping the heat in for GPU heavy app use. The latter is not a good thing.

I think it can protect in a certain level, but clearly it's not the best option compared with other cases.

Seems though it will protect better than the hard cases, since all hard cases do is transfer energy to the device itself when dropped. About the only good a hard case provides is scratch and scuff protection.

I'm thinking of replacing my current Samsung Book Cover case with the Otterbox Defender series case on my Note 8. My experience with the Defender series is great, it's a great case on smaller devices but I want to know what it's like on this device. This particular case has a built-in hinge, sleeve, and screen protector. If anybody is using/has used this case, please let me know how it is.
Here's a link: http://www.otterbox.com/Galaxy-Note-8-Defender-Series-Case/sam2-galaxy-note-8,default,pd.html?dwvar_sam2-galaxy-note-8_color=20&start=2&cgid=samsung-galaxy-note-8-cases
Best investments I made for my Note 2.0 and my Note 8.0. I got the glacier color to match my phone case. The protector sleeve is actually pretty nice. Sorry I am at work and can't post photos. When the tablet is in my day bag and with the protector over the screen I am 100% sure that nothing witll happen to the screen. The hinge is actually in the "sleeve" and allows the tablet to be stood up straight or at an angle for whatever view you prefer. Someone mentioned that there is no SD card accedd but I bought the Samsung USB adapter that plugs into the power cord slot and I run my 1 TB Passport external drive off that to watch movies, view and save documents and even listen to over 10000 songs I have saved on it. Only down side to that accessory is that it SUCKS the battery life. If I could find a splitter where it is charging and using the TB drive I will be set. The case is a lil wider than the Gumdrop and a few ounces heavier but its not too noticeable.Other than not being waterpoof this is by far the most protective case out there for the Note 8.0. I went from the Samsung "book" cover type, then bought the Gumdrop case thinking that was the best one out there but if I would have just waited about 3 weeks I could have saved $65 but oh well. So if anyone wants either one I will sell them dirt cheap. I would say buy it because you will not be disappointed.
Cheers
I just received my OBD today! I was so excited to get it installed onto my 8...the thing is like a virtual tank now!
Had official bookcover on it previously. I would have never bought one but it was a freebie with my purchase. I liked how the cover sort of flipped over onto the screen, almost like it was magnetized. I never used it as a stand because I read that it make them not lie flat anymore. Also like the on/off feature, to which I am accustomed on my Note 2 via "Smart Cover" app. However, that case felt very flimsy. The top cover would slide around on the screen when closed, and give the impression it could slip right out of your hands when carrying it. Protection from a drop? I doubt it! Liked the slim form but having children and a daily commute to and from work, throwing it in my handbag every day, or even taking it out at lunch to read or play a game...I was VERY paranoid and toted it around like a newborn!
If you don't want any added weight or girth to your tablet, then don't get the OBD. It does make it a bit bulkier, heavier, yes. But a HARD plastic screen cap that SNAPS into place when not in use? Awesome! Perfect for transporting in a bag or even just under your arm. Piece of mind, for sure. I'm not testing it out with any drops to be sure, but I'm pretty certain it would fair pretty well.
The outside rubber silicone shell was harder than I thought it would be. However, I think it seems like it would be more durable than a softer material. It's tough to disassemble, so that's also a plus that it won't just come apart on a whim. The built-in screen protector seems pretty decent. Clear as glass. It feels a bit funky with s-pen but it's not horrible. Just have to get used to it. It also seems just a tiny bit bowed (maybe it is just the one I got) so when you push down with the pen near the center you can feel it love ever so slightly towards the glass. Really, no big deal, and could just be mine. Gladly I overlook this for the extra insurance.
Love the rubberized side buttons and port covers. I think they are a definite plus to keep dust & such out. It's not waterproof but if water would get spilled nearby while sitting, or splashed from rain or whatever, it would definitely deflect some or all of it. Don't drop it in the fishtank or the toilet and you should be fine!
I'd be glad to answer any questions. I just got it today so I haven't used it too much yet, but I can tell I'm gonna love it!
Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely going to get this case!
Awesome..!!
Well I too carry this case for my Note 8.0 and it has just made my Note a strong MACHO product....:laugh:
I got this case for my Note 8 last week and I love it.
I had an Otterbox Commuter on my iPhone 4S: saved it on one occasion in particular that could have cost me a new phone. I also had the Otterbox Defender on my old iPad 2. Both the old iPhone and old iPad are still going strong for my special lady friend and look brand new thanks to Otterbox.
I now have the Otterbox Commuter on my S4, Defender on Note 8 and I'm waiting for my recently ordered iPad Mini Defender.
These are great products, especially if you are a bit rough with your stuff.

It feels....different. Not as smooth as on glass. You can definitely tell there is more "drag" as you're moving the spen across. I am not one of those super-picky people who complain about everything (lol) so it doesn't really bother me.
The thing I've noticed most about the sensitivity of the screen protector (in general) is that it makes the screen a bit less responsive. You must press a little longer (we're talking such a minute split second though, and I'm talking finger here) and more deliberately. This is caused, in my opinion, by the fact that the protector is not sucked fast to the glass underneath. I can feel mine move the tiniest bit when I press on it (because it is not adhered but simply sits on top) and that small bit d, of space between it and the screen provides a slight delay. Don't let that scare you. It's really not that bad. Of course, like I said, consider the source here (non-picky-person!!!!) I would rather have a well-protected device with a inconsequential difference in touch than a vulnerable, naked one! IMHO
Can you remove the screen protector like in other Otterbox cases?
Just got mine today. I don't think you can remove the screen without messing it up. Prepared to be told I'm wrong though.

So, after owning the Otterbox for 2 months and 9 days, both "tabs" on the side of the "sleeve" that hold the tablet on it have broke. I am by no means rough on this thing at all. Even with the tablet being in the case I am still super easy on it. Submitted an online warranty claim, Sent in a couple of pictures of the damage to Otterbox, they reviewed my claim and within 24 hours I have a replacement heading my way. So even though it broke, I am still 100% satisfied with their product and now with their warranty process. If you haven't gotten an Otterbox yet, I say get one.
Cheers
I have had mine a couple of weeks and I love it. I am glad to hear how responsive Otterbox is to replace it.

I finally received mine in the mail (1 month wait while overseas from OtterBox, BUT it was free shipping!) and I don't think I'd be happier with another brand. The rubber isn't super soft, nor does it attract lint. I don't think the rubber will stretch any time soon, it's pretty solid! Definitely happy with my purchase!
I'm moderately happy with the Defender on my Note 2 (screen protector isn't flush, rubber stretches) and an considering a Note 8. Anyone got any long term reviews on this case?
re: Defefender-Note 8
Mine has been fine, EXCEPT one of the little tabs broke off of the cover portion. Since it was less than a year, I contacted OtterBox to get a replacement. I had everything gathered beforehand...receipt, place I purchased it, etc...ended up that I didn't really need all that stuff. They just wanted pics documenting the damage, and they also asked for the batch number (probably for quality control purposes-it's imprinted in the rubber.) They sent out the replacement right away via FedEx, had it in a few days. Could not be happier with their EXCELLENT customer service. I'm sure if you did have issues, they would be able to address them with you. Oh, and the rep on the phone was super nice & VERY friendly. :good:
I have the poetic revolution and i couldnt be happier. Its just as solid as the otterbox but only 30$ usd 3 year warranty it took to days from amazon..its feels premium protects well ...
Hi
My unicorn beetle case just arrive and I want to share my toughts with you.
First I order it from Amazon as I live in Chile the final cost was around 50 bucks.
I drop my first moto x 2014 (the one in the pics) and it screen shattered so a case for my new moto X was a must.
The case came in a really simple cardboard box, inside you find the 3 parts of the case:
- Front panel
- Back panel
- Belt clip holster
The plastic bag that contain them have a QR code with a link to a video of how asamble it but is really very easy.
The front panel have a integrated screen protector and only leave the mic, front camera and speaker unprotected (this is why this case is not waterproof).
The backpanel leaves the Motorola, the camera and the back mics unprotected also, but it have protectors for usb port and the audio jack.
The only fail that I notice is the holster, only once I was able to attach the phone to it, I haven't been able to do it again, it should be a lot more easier, but anyway I dind't plan to use it.
The phone dosn't gain a lot of weight and I still feel it comfortable.

I don't know if that will be a great idea, I use mine all the time but for a test that I really need to use wolfram alpha I remove it, I haven't been able since then to use it with out bubbles in the screen protector.
Actually bought one,
Very happy with it, just the hard plastic back is easily scratchable, i already got a deep scracth in it... Tried it on a coloured back moto X too and the frosted back is wonderful !
15€ on Amazon.fr
any updates? i tried the link you posted but had no luck. i got my phone on jan 2,15 and havent yet been able to find a case i like for it.
I've had this case for about a week, and I have mixed feelings. It's a very rugged case, and I feel comfortable about the phone not being damaged. However, there are a few things I would change about this case if I could. First, since the case isn't waterproof, it could do without the integrated screen protector and headphone/power port covers. It takes a little bit of dexterity to hold the cover open just to plug in the charger. Secondly, the power and volume buttons could be more pronounced. I have accidentally turned off the screen many times while trying to adjust the volume.
I don't regret the purchase, though, and I'd definitely recommend it as an alternative to Otterbox.
I've had this case in white for just over a month, here are my impressions.
- sturdy case
- excellent quality
- great price
First thing I did was yank off the screen protector. It is a far better plan to apply something like a BSE skin than to keep using the screen protector that's included.
This means you can take off/on the case with little fuss as much as you want. Its easy to remove and seems up to the task of repeated removal.
The fact that the front of the phone sits in the trim piece is awesome. Makes for a sandwiched and protected feel.
I like the port covers. Yes, they can be a pain to pop open for time to time but again they also seem to be built well enough to take the abuse.
Since we don't have a waterproof phone but only the nanocoating inside I like the added ingress protection that they offer.
I have the white/grey case and it is gaining some darkness on the corners but I'll blame my grubby mitts on that one.
The holster is good not great. Phone sits well in it and feels well made. Too bad its missing the kickstand in the clip.
All in all I give it a 9/10.
For the price it sells for and the protection it offers its a no brainer.

@shanedragon, could you please post some pics of the case? I'm about to pull the trigger on the black/blue version, but I'm curious about how the white looks in real life.
I'll do the same, if I get the blue.

I have it in white. Here are a few photos I took. The photo of the front is a bit blurry.. Sorry!
I've had one of these cases for a while. I only use it when at work and do a manual job with dust, grit, grime and angry bovines. Well they're not angry all the time! The case is the dark gray/black and is in not bad condition considering. The Moto X on the other hand is pristine despites drops out of open tractor doors, drops onto concrete and countless excursions onto cab floors.
The built in screen protector is useful as I don't have anything on my moto x 2014 screen. I tried a couple of the glass screen protectors but removed both after a short time with the edges lifting and dust getting under the lifted edges. I also like the port covers though agree both are a little tricky to open. That said I rarely open either when the case is fitted. On previous phones I've has dust and chaff get jammed in the usb port and once somehow managed to get an animal feed pellet stuck in the headphones jack.
When I ordered the Unicorn case, unbeknown to me the mrs had ordered me an Otterbox Defender case so have that as well. It seems to bulk the phone more than the Unicorn case and the rubber texture makes it less easy to remove from pockets. It is also harder to fit compared to the Unicorn but on the other hand you about need a tyre lever to remove the Unicorn. It's a good case but prefer the Unicorn. I say again I only use a case on my Moto X for work. For pleasure it goes bare
I ordered the Beetle case, and it is in my opinion, the best case I have tried for the phone.
Thanks for the suggestion
Looks like this confirms it.

Welcome
Damn this is probably the longest I've ever had to wait for a case to arrive from 2 states away. Ordered on 11/18 and Shipped out 11/19. It sat in Salt Lake City, Utah for 2 days 11/20 and departed 11/22 @ 10pm...Still wont be here till Tuesday-ish... FedEx shipping. And I opted "Express" (which was free)
They couldve just popped it inside a USPS mailbox and wouldve been here on Sat.
Shouldve looked in BestBuy to see if they had it in stock. :banghead::banghead::banghead:

I ordered mine the 12th, shipped on the 13th and was delivered on the 17th @ 9:35 PM by FedEx never had anything delivered past 7PM before. I also got the Free Express Shipping.
I'm not sure how much I like it. I have the G4 still and got the Defender for it as well and I know it's a smaller phone but I think it's the curve back that just makes it seems so much smaller than it really is and Otterbox doesn't make it feel that big. Now the V10 Defender this thing is a Tank. I'm sure I'll get use to the size after awhile but coming from a Note 2 Defender to the G4 Defender was 100x better design feel and everything. I also got a Supcase for my G4 the Water Resistant and I actually used that alot more than the Otterbox since it would cover up the back cutouts with plastic and protect the camera. Wonder if they will release on for the V10.
I have the Tmobile V10 and Fingerprint sensor worked maybe 5x with the case I try everytime still but 99% it won't. They better release a update soon. Still have another week before I decide to keep the V10 or not my fat fingers do type better on the V10.

I came directly from the Note 2 and had the Defender and also had the Zerolemon with the ZeroShock case. That was a monster to hold. Someone said it looked like an old school garage opener...lol

LOL yea I had the same ZL and case I used the ZL all the time it was a beast never had to charge that phone. Had 2 Defenders cases on 1 of them I did the battery cutout mod before ZL came out with the shockcase. I couldn't hold out anymore grabbed a G4 on release had my N2 since release.
The Defender is built well. The Plastic snaps that clip together on the 2 plastic shells are really easy to take off compared to the N2 and the G4 case ( was better) but not as easy as the V10 always seem liked I needed to use a credit card or something to pop 1 or 2 of the clips I can just use a finger nail and not feel like I'm going to rip it off if you know what I mean.

I hear ya on that I work Construction and main reason I always buy a Defender on my phones. After awhile you get use to the bulk of the Defender's but it's nice to have the option to just go without or a slimmer case. That Water Restraint Supcase for the G4 is nice it protects the Camera Lens as well plus they put little screens on the case over the speakers and mic ports for dust etc. They don't sell a holster for that one but I found that the Beetle Supcase holster worked fine with it and same with the Defender so I've been using the Supcase with Defender Holster for last few months. I contacted them if they were going to make any case's and they just replied back with they have no case's that fit.
What other case you got I might grab the Obliq just for something slimmer.

Just got a generic rugged case from ebay and now the Defender. Gotta say that theres a big difference in quality on the 2. Gonna put my ebay case for sale on OfferUp and maybe buy a slim case for when I need one.
Where is the Otterbox Commuter for the V10?
Looks like this is now 40% and FS from Otterbox right now oh well.
Also don't forget up to 12-10% CB from online sites just go to cashbackholic to see.
Is it even worth 40% off?
Kinda pissed that a week after I order mine its now 40% off. Might be a Black Friday Deal.
Has anyone taken off the provided Defender Screen Protector? I already have a TGSP and this plastic just leaves the screen harder to make selections.

Earlier I opened up a 2nd account and ordered it again. Then setup a return on my 1st order. It's only a $5 charge taken from credit for shipping return. Still save's you $15 plus 12-10% at some CB cover's that $5 so almost back up to $20 saving's.
I'm just waiting til the new one comes in and send it back on the return order unopened.
I haven't taken the Plastic cover off. I might wait til that 2nd comes in and do it. I've done it on the Note 2 and G4 but the V10 case looks like might be little harder might have to heat it up a little with a heatgun blow dryer.
I think next time I'll wait for BF if I buy a phone just before not sure if this is something they always do. Wanted to grab the Samsung Tab Pro/Note 12.2 but its OOS.
Since I have 3 of these Tripod/Selfie Stick Mounts I wanted to see if it would fit the V10 ... While it does fit (barely) I wasnt pleased on how unsecure my heavy V10 was on it.
So I got to thinking on how I can get the tripod mount onto my Otterbox Defender Holster.
Heres what I came up with.. It sturdier than just the phone sitting in the tripod mount. And the phone is still accessible for easy mounting and unmounting. I can also flip the phone around and use the rear camera because my mono-pod has a mirror to make sure that im in the shot.
Paired it with my Bluetooth Shutter Button and now I'm ready for a NewYears Eve Night of Selfies In Las Vegas!!
Enjoy!
Oh last picture is my haul for tonight!!

Anyone seen any indication of when these will be available. Just says coming soon on the site.
No idea but should be out by when the phone comes out?

Haha I was thinking the exact same thing! I got the protection plan too... First phone with no camera bump - Woooohoooooo!
I've also only had a Galaxy s3, Note 3, Note 4, Note 5, and now Note 7.
Can't wait to get me some Google goodness! Some complain about the price point, where I say "finally a premium phone rather than 6 month old mid range specs phone .... Oh yeah that offered vanilla Android - which is awesome, but it's still a mid range phone..."
Haha /endrant

Interesting case, but how much is it? I can't see the price but if its 30 quid then I wouldn't get it!
Much rather pay that for their photo cases which i really like and thinking of getting it as an add on gift as buying the phone for the lazy half's birthday. However not sure he'll like it. Torn....
I'm worried that it won't be available until after the phone releases. I really want one, but would prefer to get a case for it immediately.

I want it immediately also, I do not want anything to happen to it... When I got my S6 Edge+ I put the Otterbox on and while at the store, before it was even activated it got bumped off the counter onto the floor.
I do not like the Otterbox I have on my S6E+ because is it a smooth hard plastic and will on its own slide off of counters and other smooth surfaces... I much prefer the silicon or rubberized cases that grip.

I love the photo cases, like $40, there is a store nearby that sells phone cases, and can "print" onto Otterbox cases, but for either I am not sure how it will hold up... the problem for me with this, is that he charges $30 to print, plus the $60 for the Otterbox, and then the Otterbox has design pattern and their name embossed into the case so the picture may not look as good as on the smooth silicone case in the Play Store. Oh, and they can only print on white, and Otterbox does not have white cases yet for the Pixel.

Thanks, I didn't catch that and thought it was a TPU case. I am deciding between this one as it looks thin or a Dbrand Skin instead. I want to get the phone in hand, feel how slippery and/or fragile it feels first. The more naked the better if the phone can take a "whoops"
if only these cases would be freely distributed to first buyers... haha, just like Coby phone.

Still available to order the Clear case from Google in both sizes.
The phone has shipped but the case is still not available :-/
Google can still learn a few things from Apple. Official iPhone accessories are available and usually ship well before the phone ships.
Has anyone found anything similar outside of Google. I'm paranoid about dropping this thing particularly as I'm in a country where this is not available so will not be able to service in case of a drop.

Amazon is your best bet. I ordered my case a week ago and it should be here tomorrow. Two clear cases for 7$. Can't beat that.
Kind of pissed. I ordered three cases (around the 12th), one of the being the google clear case and they all said in stock. Then i either get emails from the companies saying sorry the case will ship out on the 28th or the arrival day is 28th-1st. Now i have a naked phone from the 20th- and i don't want to **** it up.
Spigen
I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor from Amazon and it came a few days ago. The phone comes today. I am terrible about dropping things and recently broke my hand, so it is now worse. I prefer no case, but I drop things way too often.
Anyone know how thick the silicone is? I find it very hard to believe its 19mm which would make the case height on both sides 10.4mm which in theory makes the back a 6mm ish case. That would be otterbox big.
The other reason why I think 19mm is incorrect is that it's the same dimensions for the clear case which is noticeably thinner than the live or silicone cases.
Has anybody had any experience with them?...anybody recieved a free case in exchange for some social media reviews? I've been offered a free case.... They want to paypal me the money to order it from Amazon. I thought that was kinda strange... Why wouldn't they just send one? Too good to be true?

They're trying to tap-dance around the fact that they're expecting a Quid Pro Quo (a free case in exchange for a favorable review):
They're giving you money instead of the case,so they can technically say it's not,as you're buying it with your own money.
Yes,you're under no obligation to post a rating of any sort.
But,what they're buying from you is for the review to be listed as a "Verified Purchase",giving the appearance of an unsolicited/no-strings review.
If I were you,I'd report what they're doing to Amazon.
Show Amazon the correspondence you've received.
Yeah,you'll be out of a "free" case,but,JMHO,it's a small price to pay to help keep the reviews honest & legitimate.

Yeah that's a shady way of doing business man. If you really do make great products, let your product speak for itself but making it good quality.
Have it and ita good not bulky too
I actually own 3 of these cases. I was just doing research on maybe getting an S10 for my wife, and the first thing I checked was if ArmadiloTek was going to make a case or not. While looking up info, I realized I never left a review on Amazon. Obviously, if I bought 3 of them, I like them, but people don't get to see my purchase history, so they wouldn't know I'm a fan. I just uploaded this review on Amazon.
BTW - For the price, I think it's hard to beat. Also, if they offer a free case to someone hoping for a review, they are also taking the chance that someone who's not willing to spend $20 for a case is also the type to bash them online for silly things. Unless they are actually soliciting a "Positive" review, giving away a product and asking for a review is pretty normal. Especially for a new company. I've been to plenty of restaurants and bars that offer instant coupons if you go online and right a review, or they give you something free for filling out a survey.
************************** My Amazon Review **************************
Now I can write a real review after actually using this case, everyday, for more that 4 months. I bought 3 Note9's in September because they were so cheap. I also bought 3 different cases. All 3 cases had built-in screen protectors.
Immediately after getting the cases and comparing them, I ordered another ArmadiloTek case for my 11 year old son's Note9. That was the phone I was most concerned about having protected.
About 1 month later, I had to order another ArmadiloTek, because my mom wanted a stronger case and a kickstand.
In total, I've purchased 3 of these cases in different colors. They are awesome! I've dropped my phone a few times, and I'm sure my son has dropped his plenty. He rides his scooter w/ a Note9 hanging halfway out of his pocket. None of the phones or cases have any damage.
This is definitely my go to case from now on. Not as bulky as other rugged cases, better price, and they work amazing.
I hope they continue to grow, so they can offer more covers for other phones. My wife choose a S9 because she didn't want a large phone. Her case cracked the first time it fell and the case is all scratched up, because it's not an ArmadiloTek case.
I got one of these today and have a question for people who have one.
is the screen protector on yours TIGHT against your phone display cause mine isnt. when I tap the screen I can see and hear the plastic protector hit the screen.
Is this normal or do I have a defective one? (and yes, the peel offs are removed)

It's normal unfortunately. Any device that has a built in plastic screen protector will do that unless you find a way to have the device firmly and stiffly up against the front if the case. You can try filling behind the device with small flat sheets of paper cut out to match the device shape on the back. Adding a rear glass protector may help. Just not sure how much it would though.

thanks, makes me want to think about removing the built in one (the website has info on how to hair dryer it off) and buy a hard plastic one.
the case is awesome though, especially for ten bucks shipped
