Hello everybody,
I would like to start this thread regarding quality accessories for S10. It's not arrived here yet, but I had already found several regular quality products for smartphones.
There are 3D glass from IMAK at aliexpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/IMA..._10910_5736115,searchweb201603_57,ppcSwitch_0
and Nillkin products like Frosted shield and QIN flip case at nillkin.org:
http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...s-accessories/samsung-galaxy-s10-accessories/
There are no doubt about Nillkin, but is there are any good alternative for glass? Any suggestions?
There will be three models of this phone. Is this regular - plus- lite?
It going crazy if everyone posting all version.

I've heard that tempered glass protectors are going to be very hard to make for this year's Galaxy series - might be a year stuck with PET films again. I've used amFilm for my S9 and my wife's Note 9, and they're the best glass ones on Amazon, so I will likely give them a try this year before resigning myself to plastic films. Seems that amazon is still highly compromised with fake review products, so I'll just stick with the company I've already been happy with.
Tempered glass cannot be use in S10. Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner can't read with tempered glass.

Not true. Whitestone Dome confirmed that there's works. I also believe it was leaked that Samsung will be releasing phone with TP Glass preinstalled from factory. Probably Whitestone?

Oh really you think Samsung will release the phone with Whitestone already on it? I mean I did read it may come shipped with one but then why would Whitestone be taking pre-orders? Not sure whether to pre-order or not. I'm guessing Zagg isn't going to work which is what I have been using. I like this Kiosk in the mall girl does a good job putting them on.
I don't know if its Whitestone or not but rumor is it's the only one that works and Whitestone is partnered with Sammy.

P.S. Whitestone may be taking advantage of people that don't know any better. I may order as well because I always like to have a spare one on hand.

Hopefully we will know everything on the 20th. I can't wait I'm already on the reserve list for the S10 plus from Samsung for me and my husband. I have a 9 plus and he has the Note 8.
according to the Texas' case maker, the S10 series will not work with either regular plastic or glass SP
www.armadillotek.com
they said they tested their products at real phone earlier last month, one of their cases used to have plastic screen protector built

I managed to get my hands on an Otterbox Commuter for the S4. I only had a dummy to use but I'll redo the review with the phone as soon as I get it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UICURByP_fQ
Seems a good case, I like the design.
I finally got my S4 today so I'm using the case for a good test and i'll redo the review shortly.
The folks over at Otterbox just told me 1.5-2 weeks until their cases are out.

I'm looking forward to reviewing the Defender.
Will film the updated Commuter review tonight
Black Defender case
Got the Black Defender case yesterday. Absolutely stunning quality. The S4 is easier to hold while using the phone and gaming. Case itself seem to have good fit and it has no potential gaps for dust or dirt sticking between the phone and the case. Also the screen protector is amongst the best there is, it just aligns perfectly and the feel of the screen is pretty much as without it.
The only con for someone would be the size, but for me in need of a case that really protects while on a motorcycle and in the garage, this is it!
I will order the Glacier (White / Gunmetal Gray) version when released also.
I personally don't need the protection the defender offers but it is still an impressive case.

I ordered the Slim Armor one since it has the kick stand and is slimmer than the tough armor version.
Spigen Slim Armor
Awesome. I like that amazon has these for preorder. I don't think Spigen has even posted these on their website yet.
I've come to really like Spigen products, but Supcase is making waves lately too.
they are up now. kind of hard to decide though. I bought the thicker one for my note 3 and dont know if i want to go with the hybrid this time or....
Has anyone tried the hybrid? protect the device just as well? Ive dropped my note 3 in parking lots, smacked it against gym equipment, stepped on it at the gym lol, dropped on tile lol. still holding up with minimal ware and tear. Only visible issues are the hairline cracks everyone else is seeing.
I ordered this one too...I still have it for my note 3 and they are great. Protect the phone very well.

the hairline cracks go down the chrome plastic surrounding of the phone. Where the note 4 has metal, that was cracked. Nothing crazy but it was noticeable. I actually purchased the metal neo hybrid and the glass protector. First time trying one of these.

I had the Neo Hybrid for the Note 3 and hated it. While I loved the design, It had ZERO grip. It was always sliding out of my hand. I hope the new ones have a more tacky back now.
That Versus case looks nice and looks like the back might have a bit more grip.

holy hi res
i ordered one of the Verus. I'm hoping that the outside piece truly is Aluminum metal and not plastic made to resemble metal as in the Spegin Neo. DOnt get me wrong , I love the Spigen but I often found myself breaking the bumper ring when I was changing batteries. I always get extra batteries of whatever phone i have. Whether it was the GS3 (my dad), GS4 (my sister), GS5 (my gf), Note 3 (me).........now when I get the Note 4.
Wondering when Note 4 accessories, such as extra battery or spare battery kit (extra battery and spare battery charger) since the new battery is 3220 MaH.
I RECIEVED My Qi backplate from Samsung today. Works great, but BIG problem. My cases no longer fit. I bout the G3 backplate, and it did not change my phone one bit. This one in noticeably bigger. I have a Case Mate Tough naked coming tomorrow, and hopefully that one fits. This sucks... If I keep the back on, I can't use a case?
Haven't found a case that really fits, nor has anyone in the existing threads on Qi charging for this phone. My Versus case will go on, but fit would be an exaggeration.
Talk about a bummer.... Son of a gun..... Do any of the Samsung cases fit I wonder
Where is the qi thread your referring too
For the Note 3 they eventually brought out a Protective Cover Plus that fit.
http://goo.gl/e6wpa0 is one of the threads.

The samsung cases do not fit with the qi back plate on the note 4. Though I am sure something will come along shortly.
Do any of the Otterboxes Fit?
Otter box commuter does not fit. Right now I'm just using the rubber and it barely fits.
flip case
Hello ,
Since the Note 3 I was using the flip case from noerve.
Now for the Note 4 I ordered the Model 21168T1/f.
This one also works with the Samsung QI-Backplate.
It fits perfectly.
mfg , hjf
Fits in my poetic case, but slightly bulges. Like maybe a the thickness of a credit card between the edges. Still sealed as far as I can tell. And the built in screen protector is lifted slightly from the screen. Doesn't reduce screen responsiveness but adds a touch sound to the screen which I actually like.
This happened to my S5 a few months back, you might want to go best buy and try out a tech21 case. It fit for me
This backplate is proprietary then.

Does in completely envelop the phone or does the phone stick out a bit like this.
I bought a Case Mate naked tough for my kid, and REALLY liked it on the Turbo, so I ordered it for my Note4. I'm hoping it will fit. I'll know Monday
fits perfectly
Definitely this backplate doesn't work with the case from Samsung, but works fine with my other aftermarket cases.

I've got my White matte back on my Moto x. So far this thing picks up dirt extremely easy. I'm afraid within a month this nice white back will be black instead. Are their any screen protectors out their that are not wet apply ones? I saw the Skinomi one, but that is wet I prefer not to use wet. I have looked on Ebay and Amazon I can't find any. I have always found wet apply screen protectors impossible to get on correctly....
Thanks.....

does anyone make ultra thin cases anymore?
If I get a case I would just want it to keep the phone scratch free and provide a lip for setting it face down.
examples: Spigen Ultra Fit, Rock Quicksand Composite Poly-carbonate Shell Case
I suppose I should add that I saw the slim cases post with the spigen and the ringke. The spigen page isn't loading for me and their 'slim' case has proven to be rather chunky on some phones, not like their ultra fit which doesn't seem to exist anymore. The ringke looks like it might work though, it's 1.2mm and has a lip on front. I'm looking for more options, nothing against ringke or spigen, but choices would be nice. Obviously there aren't a ton of cases for the pixel so the question is more general. Are there specific makes/models of cases that are super thin for phones recently that I can keep an eye out for?
Wait for a Calicase.

Yeah I started http://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/accessories/list-hard-shell-polycarbonate-t3475260 in quest to find a hard and thin case.
Didn't know the Calicase. I will add to the waiting list.

Bearmotion is making one...I had bearmotion for my M8, worked great, and had a very similar (though not as rough) feel to the Rock Quicksand on the GS3...I do wish Rock Quicksand would come out with one though.
I've had my eye on an iBeek case. It has a smoked rim and clear backing to show off the Pixel or Pixel XL's two tone design. Just not sure why shipping is so far out.

With last years 6P the Tudia case was one of my favorites TPU cases. Very thin and had a nice feel. I am going to give it a try again this year with the XL:

my issue with the bear motion case is the almost non existent front lip. I place my phone face down all the time. that being said with as cheap as it is I'll likely order one anyway just to test it.

So far I have received the RedShield, but still no phone to put it on and take pictures.
Anyways, its not "thin" it looks just like the OZRLY TPU, quite "standard" imho.

I purchased the maxboost and love it. Super slim and discreet. The grip is ideal for me because I want to effortlessly remove and place the phone in my pocket. I've had grippier cases that made removing the phone from my pocket difficult while seated.
