what cases and screen protectors do you recommend?

[robinhelenehebert]

I have used that liquid one before where you wipe it on the screen... considering this is a curved screen do you recommend that?

[robinhelenehebert]

thanks I'm getting the defender

 

[mustang7757]

cool ...
so you buying the note 9 then?

 

[jimd1050]

Unicorn Beetle Pro (iBlason or Supcase - same company) case for me... it's a bit like my Ford F-350 Super Duty but that's what I like! I've used them on 2 Note 4s, a Note 5, 2 Note 7's, a Galaxy S7 Active, a Note 8 and now my Note 9! Rugged case... I don't use the included holster however... I just carry the phone in the case, in my pocket. Also, I've always removed their screen protector and used some other glass screen protector - this time, I just left the UB Pro plastic in place and it's working fine. No sensitivity issues, no color loss or display degradation because of the air gap. For what it's worth...

The wife and I both have A Note 9.
We use the Whitestone Dome TGSP and the Samsung Rugged Protective Cover.
Both are performing well after two months daily use. We have experienced no lifting or spidering.
I also use the Rhinoshield Solid Suit for weekend / light duty use.
I have many cases. I posted these case reviews in another thread:

UAG Monarch - I don't like the way it feels. It's nothing like the cases UAG originally made.
Spigen clear TPU - I forget the actual name, but it's the one that's flexible. I don't like it. TPU is not my thing any longer.
Spigen Tough Armor - It is grippy and feels good in the hand, seems like it would provide decent drop protection, I just don't like the buttons. They are flush with the side of the case.
Rhinoshield Solid Suit - I use it for weekend or light duty day carry. It's a bit slippery, but is low profile and slides in and out of pocket easily. The volume buttons are a little hard to press.
Samsung Silicone Cover - It's very grippy, but because of this collects lint and hangs onto it. I would use this for light duty day carry if it weren't for lint and debris sticking to it. It's called "ocean blue" but does not match the ocean blue Note 9. It's more of a grey. Pic below.
Samsung Rugged Protective Cover - I like this case. It's very grippy and seems like it would provide good drop protection. Some folks thin it's too heavy. It is a bit heavier than other cases, but if I'm not doing a side by side comparison I get used to it. I actually measured this and the Tough Armor, on a kitchen scale and the difference was minimal, tho I don't recall the actual number. I use this case for work day carry.

I use Clayco Case + Screen Protector. Low profile, no sensitivity issues, Samsung Pay works, wireless charging works. Responsive buttons, no problem removing S Pen. So far, very happy with this case/screen protector combo.

Yep bit the bullet. So far so good. I'll see how the camera is.

Lol but not without hubby's consent lol. I really like it so far. I might when I can...pay off the Pixel and just keep it as a camera.

Both ...he likes technology too and he just wants me to be happy. My reasoning is this: at least I make money with these phones sometimes (gig apps)...

I use pretty much the same set up on all my phones.

1. Whitestone Dome Screen Protector.
2. Rhinoshield Crashguard Bumper.
3. dBrand Black Camo or Black Dragon Back skin.

I have the iBlason ARES case on mine. All I see while at work under florescent lights is a rainbow from the top of the screen to the bottom and what looks like an oil slick. I've contacted them about a replacement, and this one is the same. So trying a UB Pro won't be any better? I'd really rather keep a case that has a built-in screen protector.

 

[robinhelenehebert]

I'm using a liquid screen protector...pretty interesting technology.

How well does that actually work? Do u feel it on the screen?

 

[jtcannonball]

I know I'm exchanging my Tech21. Not in love with it. I like Otterbox cases but the port cover worries me that it will ruin my charging port. Half tempted to try the Speck Presidio Grip case as well.

I love my silicon case and clear cover for the Note 9 they are both Samsung official cases which I got in discount
