Had the original transparent case from Honor from day one on my Honor 8 Sapphire Blue with a glass protection on screen.
I ordered the GKK Ultrathin Matte Bumper Protection Case in blue off ebay could it came within 3 weeks from China something like €2.30 free shipping.
It's a 3 part case where the top and bottom parts cover once on cover up to the screens board line and the mid section the main bulk of the phone. The top and bottom covers have two each locking tabs (push fit) into theid section of the case.
One on its a nice tight fit around the device and lays flat on the screen No Gaps.. All punched holes are spot on, camera's sensor, jack plug, speaker, mac's fingerprint sensor and charger port. Must say the light sensor cut-out is over sized for some reason not round but oblong with top and bottom being curved. The volume and power buttons all make a positive travel with a soft soft click sound when pressed.
The mid section of the case once on hugs the phone nicely and meets up with the top of the phones frame edge and not curved round over to met the screen.
Having said that the case feels good in the hand nonslip does not make the phone look bigger or feels heavier.
I left my armoured screen glasses protection on when fitting this case NOTE if you choose to leave an armoured screen protection due to the thickness of the armoured glass you will need to offer up basically take you time and make sure the top and bottom of the case when fitting is over the armoured protect and push down slowly to met up with the mid section.
Reason being if you just went and try and put the cover or or force the cover on you'll have a high rate of the armour cracking, breaking..
The other option would be to use a protection film on the screen and one could just push fit the cover section in place without worrying about any damage.
Like the phone itself the bumper case is a fingerprint magnet but it's an around good protection to the body of the phone and still use the phone as if there was no phone case on it..
Is it worth it? Yes
Can you fit case if device has a armoured glass protection? Yes but be very careful take you time very tight fit.
Would I recommend others to buy it? Yes
Doesn't seem to move or slip off a flat surface while it vibrates on calls..
looks nice, would have chose a different colour tho
It looks like a hassle....i just need a strong back case and a tempered glass that covers the whole screen.....i got the cover all right but finding the tempered glass is a bit of a hassle the Terapin ones i got did not covered the whole screen it has like 0.5 cm space from each side

It's not snap fit all in a few seconds without an armoured screen protection otherwise one needs to take care if fitting over an armoured screen protection.. All in all it's a well made and designed case..
There is a similar case where it protects the rear and sides leaving you to put a screen protection on at ease..

Sorry cause i don't understand...does this full armor case has a glass that protects the actually screen or does it just cover the whole phone except for the screen?
Also if you already have a tempered glass on your phone do you need to remove it? or you can apply the case without any issues?
It just covers the phone the screen is exposed no protection..
My phone already had a armoured screen protection on it and l carefully put the top and bottoms of this case over it..
How does the case feel in the hand? And do you have trouble whit the screen, knowing it covers the phone exept the screen

Hi guys;
Today I finally got my case for SGS!
And in start, I have to say that is great, even I had some issues with installation of this case.
I have ordered my case from ExportPrive online shop: SGP Ultra slider hard case for SGS, and because I didn't wan't to pay more for delivery it took almost 3 weeks to get my case.
With case I got one SGP STEINHEIL Crystal Clear screen protector and 4 small protectors for camera lens:
And just to mention, I mess up aplication of screen protector so I got two boubles .
But later I removed that screen protector, because it was sooooo fingerprints sensitive, that after 5 min of use, protector got so messy that it has become totally reflective and has affected viewing experience of phones screen. But it didn't effect sliding of fingers over screen; sliding was nice and smooth.
Installation of case was a bit tricky; at first I have applied additional protective stickers, but as I have realized, they affected positioning of phone inside case, so I wasn't able to close case properly. So I have to remove all those stickers and cut part of internal padding to make phone fit more nicely inside case:
After that I notice that bottom part of case didn't "click" on top part, or to be more exact, it did, but not enough to make a solid connection. So I use lighter to melt part of bottom case and made additional ridge, to make it connect better with top part:
But be VERY careful while doing this; this plastic is very sensitive to heat, so it melts very fast!
After that, case fit nicely, close nicely and remain solid and rigid.

Over all, i'm happy with this case, and all this small issues ware something that I expected, so it didn't affect my overall impression of case.
But I'm disappointed with screen protector; those bubbles ware not a issue (i remove them with no problem later), but issue with fingerprints made this screen protector useless, because it affected screen visibility and look of phone, because it made fingerprints more pronounced.
So, for case, I'll give rating of 4/5, and for screen protector 2/5.
Yeah I also got this case from the same site, I must say I'm very pleased with this case and it seems that its very good for protecting it,
Thanks for the good review
Nice work, what ROM and clock is that ?
So this case is hard plastic no rubber to it?
If it is hard plastic when you drop it on impact wouldn't the case just break and absorb none of the impact unlike a rubber case

If it breaks then it absorbed all of the impact.
@OP
I didnt have to burn anything on mine or cut the padding that was installed, its a pretty good casing but theres.
The only bad thing about the white casing is that when there are scratches at the back with in the camera hole ( horizontally from edge to edge ) its gonna show up like a black line, this is true for all colors except the black.
Hi, I have a question about Spigen Liquid Crystal case. I would like to know if the dotted pattern doesn't scratch or leave marks on the glass back panel after some time using it. Thank you
Any dirt between case and phone will eventually cause it to scratch, I had to threaten legal action to get my glass replaced due to the s-view case damaging the screen, buy a rear protector so you have something physically stuck to the back glass that cannot move and take the damage instead of the phone.

The dots will only be visible if you look at it from a certain angle. And no, the dots won't cause any damage/ visible marksto the phone's rear back.
GoNz0 and Rakcoon thank you for your help.
I have Spigen's transparent case on my phone.
It's been about 8 months.
The back of the case is horribly scratched up like hell.
The entire case itself has turned yellowish, which is normal for silicone and perfect for my golden S6.
The edges and sides of the case however turned reddish, you know like redhead women? Like that, however the colour change is not that prominent and it actually looks cool. It's visible only from certain angles though.
However, I use a blower to make sure to dust gets trapped in-between the back of my phone and the inside of the case, so I don't really have scratches on the back of my phone.
Protection wise? It's worth it, doesn't really add too much bulk, but it's good enough for protection from drops about 4 feet onto concrete floor. Get Nillkim's Amazing H+ tempered glass to protect the front, that's what I'm using on my S6.
Don't ask for photos of it, I'm too lazy to do that.

Hi,
I've ordered last week a NGP Pure Case for my white PH1 last week. Question is : I saw on Amazon that it won't fit with tempered glasss like orzero. I don't have orzero tempered glass, I have this one : https://www.amazon.com/Essential-Sc...74582&sr=1-1&keywords=lamshaw+essential+phone that NOT covers edges.
So do you think Pure Case will be fine for me ?
Thanks for your future answers.
I think you will be fine. The case only covers a very tiny area of the screen, enough to protect it but also to lift most screen protectors. From the amazon image and the fact that I use that incipio case I am like 90% sure that screen protector wont lift

looks like you got an all area adhesive screen protector which lifts off at the curved screen edges. Since it's already slighty lifted off at the edges I think there is no problem putting the Incipio on. The Incipio case is a problem for screen protectors which only have adhesive at the very edge, specifically at the top of the screen where the camera cutout is located. It will push and lift the adhesive off and since there is no other adhesive further down, the screen protector pretty much lifts all the way up. You then have a "clicking" sound when you tap onto that area (the adhesive will temporarily stick and then pop off when you let go).
Your screen protector is not perfectly centered and you may have small issues at the top and the bottom right where it comes close to the edge. Maybe you can re-center it.

I can vouch for this one. It fits great with my Tudia TAMM case. It's a TPU just like the Skinomi and IQ but a dry install. You peel off a small horizontal strip at the top to expose the adhesive. Position it starting at the top and then bend it a little to start separating the rest of the backing and start pushing your way down the screen so the backing comes off completely at the end. It's really grippy at first but that will pass as you use your phone. Since it is a TPU it will develop marks on it over time if you're not careful so be careful installing when trying to push out bubbles or whatever. I used a credit card wrapped in microfiber cloth and pushed out the bubbles before removing the top protective film. If you have bubbles that won't easily work out they will disappear after a few hours.
Best option so far IMO. I had the Delta Shield TPU before and the TAMM case push up the corners and edges.

If you look at your picture your screen is already lifted off at the edges (read my previous post). So it is probably not a big deal
Hope you're right
But what do you mean by lifted ? My tempered should put off by itself with time ?

look carefully at the picture you took. I had this with all my curved screen phones. the lighter edge you see is where the screen protector is not attached. If you have not noticed it yet then I'm afraid I just ruined your enjoyment with it.
sorry
Mine lift the tempered glass. Unless they make one a little smaller I don't think it will work.
I think I am going to just go with the Incipio case and nothing more. The screen seems more responsive.

Should've went with the DualPro from Incipio. I just got a black one and not only is it the highest quality case I've seen for the device but it fits just fine with Orzero TGP on.
EDIT: Felt as though I should add a caveat that applied to me, likely applies to a lot of folks having issues trying to use a case and screen protector simultaneously. You really need to nail the placement of the screen protector in order to prevent case interference, when centered as perfectly as is reasonable I have not encountered any issues with lifting but it did take two attempts to hit the sweet spot. You're much more likely to encounter lifting if the screen protector is favoring one side even slightly, so those guide stickers that you tend to want to chuck actually come in very handy when trying to get the placement just right.
I have an Incipio clear case on right now. It makes my glass screen protector pop off. So that's off for now.
I'm on my second PH-1 after a very minor fall cracked the screen on my first. (It was naked) But I had dropped it a couple of times.
Here's the thing, the back and sides were completely unscathed. The screen chipped a tiny bit on the corner on the first fall and then cracked across it with some shattering in the corner on another (from about a 1.5' fall from pocket to concrete when I was sitting on a bench).
With just a glass screen protector, you can hardly even tell it's on there (aka the phone still looks great). It also seems like with a good positioning, the SP or the plastic surround would make the first contact on any fall (given a relatively flat surface with no protrusions), thus protecting the screen. Aesthetically, I would love to get away with just the SP. I don't like casing this phone.
On the other hand, most cases are designed to also make first contact on a fall via a lip around the screen, etc. (The point of conflict with the SPs). So it would seem that a case alone should provide protection against screen shattering in most mundane falls also (again, barring protrusions).
So, what is your experience? Does anyone go screen protector only? Or case only? Have you had a screen break with either?
I have the incipio as well and go without a screen protector. I also have a belt holster to protect the phone from falling out my pocket. I am very anal with phones and have not dropped this one or my prior Android phones (I've dropped my Lumia 920 once but that just had a dent in the plastic housing). I've seen that video in which somebody tested the PH-1 with falls from different heights and know that the first thing that will break on it will be the screen under the right conditions. The rest of the phone is rock solid. That might be one problem that leads to cracks when it falls onto the corners (no dampening and direct energy transfer to the glass). I don't think a screen protector will do much in that case either.
that's my experience.
I'm totally enjoying this phone
cheers
I've just been using a screen protector and fitBAG leather sleeve. The Halo Gray has soft touch texture on the ceramic which makes it easier to grips than the shiny colors.

So I had the similar Artech 21 case for the Note 5 which is the same people that make the Armadillo Tek case for the Note 9.
I liked the Note 5 case and built in screen protector but I was wondering about the built in screen protector on the Note 9 case since it's curved so the material is different.
Also, has anyone removed the built in screen protector and if so does it cause the phone to be loose in the case?
I'm waiting for more reviews on this case before ordering off Amazon but it looks decent.
How is the protection of the case compared to the Samsung rugged cover
interested in feedback as well.

The case is solid. The screen protector left much to be desired. I removed it easily and the phone still stays solidly in place. It is more protective than the Samsung rugged case but not as slim. I'd feel comfortable dropping it in the armadillo case. Here's a video review I did of it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px2roiwe7UM
I have the case as well, I honestly bought like 4 different cases for the Note 9 before I got it, and one of them being the Spigen ToughArmor case and the Armadillotek. I have to say just for protection overall, the AT is way better than the Spigen case. It protects the phone more while not being that bulky, it is slightly less comfortable to hold because of the weird design and kickstand on the back, but its way better than essentially the toothpick that's on the back of Spigen cases.
The case itself covers the front of the phone a lot better than the Spigen as well (edges are raised slightly higher, the case actually covers some of the exposed glass around the sensors and the chin of the phone). It is slightly more expensive, but I'd recommend it to anyone who's scared of dropping their phone tbh.
I didn't bother with the built in screen protector, I don't like plastic screen protectors because they're too scratch prone, but it was easy to just punch it out, remove the adhesive, and just use your own glass screen protector.
It's near perfect, but if the back didn't feel a little weird, I'd say it's a perfect case
Yea, the built in screen protectors in these cases like the Armadillo, Supcase, Youmaker, etc. don't seem really good due to the curved screen. When the galaxy had a flat screen it was fine because a different material was used.
The only think I don't like at least on the Supcase, others as well as the Artech 21 case was the port covers. Unlike the Otterbox Defender it seems over time they can crack.
Right now I use the Defender mostly due to the extra big lip and better side protection.
I might go on a case binge and order the Supcase and Youmaker though but I will for sure the punch out the screen protector. I keep nothing in my phone pocket and the lips on these cases are enough I don't have to worry about contact with the ground.
The Samsung rugged case is a very well built case though. Except I prefer something with more girth like the Otterbox Defender. The Defender makes it easier to grip and use spen.
I'm enjoying it so far. I can type and swype jus like normal, no aggravating mistypes and dead spots. Jus yesterday I was noticing that my screen had some fine scratches on it, and I might keep this plastic protector on for a while. As far as the case, I have used some similar in the past and it is very protective. I also like how it connects together. I don't have to worry if it will come apart.

Those marks might not be scratches but just from the spen. Just like on a naked screen you will notice the spen leaves marks. All you need to do is just wipe it off.
Either way, the screen protectors suck on these cases. Better off just popping them off and go bare. Just don't put keys in your pocket with the phone.
I ripped off the plastic screen protector and installed an edge-to-edge tempered glass one. It works great on me.
I had to rip the plastic cover off as well.

So the built in screen protector isn't really that good?
It does protect the screen. But the edges don't hug the screen super tight, about 1 centimeter around or over the curve. This slight space causes me to have to press a little harder than I'm used to, and that causes mistypes and unresponsive touch, about 1/10 times when I touch that space.

did you turn on the 'touch sensitivity' ?
yes, I sure did. Like I say, 99% of the time was fine, but the edges of the screen protector, the tiny part over the curved edge, was slightly raised with an air gap. So it caused mistypes.

This case is a monster when you use the glass SP with it !

The screen protector is a piece of **** and they told me up front to rip it off, and also the headphone jack and charger jack covers wont stay closed and they told me tough **** to that one.
Also the charger port is too small to allow the samsung usb on the go port to be inserted
