Case with Great Grip & Protection?

[G Kuhs]

Looking for S8+ case that provides a really good grip & protection. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks in advance.

Pelican or Otterbox. I own both and find them to have great grip and superior protection.

Which models of each brand do you have? Do you prefer on over the other?

Thanks

Speck Presidio Grip. One of the best. Definitely other good choices too.

Otterbox Defender. Bulk is far less than in years past. Sides are textured for great grip. Slimmer than the GS7 Defender by a couple of millimeters. Very pocketable.

OtterBox Defender or Unicorn Beetle Pro Supcase. love them both.

Have you noticed some of the grip coming off--several reviews complain about that with the grips on the Speck

Not yet. Nor did I notice it on either I had for 7+. Maybe people are dragging these behind their car dowm freeway lol

I've seen drop test due to the Pelican being plastic tends to break on the corners on hard impacts compared to something soft like the Defender or Commuter.

I've read that as well. Also drop the Speck doesn't fair well. Just watch Mobilereviewseh. Probably the Incipio DualPro would be a better alternative. Even the Symmetry would be even though it's not any better than the Speck for drop protection, you don't have to worry about the grippy stuff pealing off.

Symmetry for S8+ I have as well. Really like it too. It isn't nearly as grippy as this Speck Grip but it's a good case. On my Symmetry I have a popsocket so it's grip exponentially improved but without thwt the hard plastic back is not super grippy.

Agreed. Defender is far grippier than Symmetry.

Symmetry is WAY overpriced too. Better off buying a Supcase Unicorn Beetle or buy a couple of them incase one wears out.

For the price of the Symmetry you're better off just buying the Defender. You can buy the black one for the s8 Plus for 38 bucks at Sam's and Amazon also same price and even price match it at best buy. Symmetry might be good if you like switching cases as the Defender removing it a lot causes the inner shell tabs to wear a bit causing creaking noises and the outer rubber tends to wear too from removing it a lot. I have my S7 Edge for the VR so I have no reason to remove mine anymore.

I have the Symmetry, Defender and Unicorn Beetle Supcase.

The Defender is definitely grippier and more protective than the other two, BUT the Supcase is still very nice, protective and grippy with the slimmest profile.

If you only want one good looking, fairly slim case and don't want to break the bank I'd highly recommend the Supcase.

If you want the most protective and grippy then go Defender (it's also not nearly as bulky as older models were).

Knowing what I know now I'd pass on the Commuter and Symmetry OtterBox cases for the S8.

Otterbox Defender. I love this case-just bought a few days ago. What's nice is there's no plastic screen cover (I prefer that way). Very protective fit, excellent grip too.

My S8+ got two, OtterBox Defender and Spigen Rugged Armor. Both with great grip.

Just once. Face down on my tile floor. Was fine.
