Cases, Accessories, Skins, and Screen Protectors

[tsells]

So got the Whitestone one eventually - complete dud! Despite the price and the promises (and all those Youtube reviews - paid for??) the fingerprint sensor doesn't work.
Interestingly now I've looked at Amazon 50% are 5 star and 50% are one star in the reviews.
I don't understand why it works or doesn't. And yes I followed the instructions to the letter, reprogrammed fingerprints and switched on screen protector setting.
Anybody got one that works yet?
Better yet, anybody got a good alternative (tempered glass) yet?

Works perfectly for me. Not one problem. And it's the first time I've used this protector!

I am on the fence about this. I've always been almost fanatically careful to keep my phone in my front right pocket with NOTHING ELSE in that pocket, and have been using no screen protector for some years now. Just exchanged a Note 8 in flawless condition for the Note 10+. Because of the cost I am thinking I'd like to turn this in only after three years instead of the usual two. After reading tons of reviews I bought the screen protector. May return it without even opening it. Some people say it is affecting the fingerprint reader... Humph.

I pressed gently where the fps is after the 1st curing and then did the 2nd curing.

The fps works well with the Whitestone Dome on my Note 10+

This may be the key. Is there a cutout around the selfie lens?

Exactly what I did. FPS works perfectly.

I also had a Note 8. Tried using Zagg Glass but it never stayed on for that long, so went naked for most of the 2 years. When I returned it to get the Note 10 it did have scratches on the screen.

There is a cutout for selfie camera.

Yep I have ordered the Samsung Protective standing cover in silver, mainly due to my work. I have had the same cover for my Note 4,8 and 9 and they fit great with good all round protection and it's been dropped a few times!

I'm interested in this case too. I have questions if you can answer. With this case on, can you do power-sharing to other devices, such as another phone or Samsung smartwatch?

How is the quality of the 2 kickstands in the back of the case? I've read reviews on Best Buy that these kickstands are cheap plastic and can easily detach. Is this true?

 

[Casey Cheung]

So far the ESR kickstand case I got has been a champ. I've had it on my Note 10+ since 8/23 with no problems. I got the clear case and it shows off the Aura Glow really well. Plus, I feel it protects the phone.

Can you confirm that your ESR case can easily do wireless power sharing (charging) to another phone or smartwatch or earbuds without taking the case off?

I wish I knew what made the difference for the 50% works vs the 50% fail?

The powershare doesn't work with this case on.

The kickstands will definitely come off if you accidentally pull it in the wrong direction ( yeah I did it lol), but you can reattach it as long as the prong isn't broken.

Sorry, this is referring to the Samsung Rugged Case with the 2 kickstands in the back, yes? If so, that's too bad. Various reviewer comments on Best Buy site says wireless charging is possible with this case on. But I tend to believe you instead of Best Buy peeps. I currently have a thin/silicon "tech21" case but doesn't effectively power-share charge my Samsung 42mm smartwatch. I sometimes get a false alert on my watch with the lightning bolt and the watch might say 8 minutes left to fully charge, but it's a lie...my watch is lying to me, haha!

What device did you try to do a power-share with that didn't work? Another phone? A smartwatch? Earbuds?

I also got the ESR with metal kickstand for my 10+ and I love it. It is such a secure fit.

Here's the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, kickstand didn't even last two weeks. Do NOT bother getting this case if your looking for a kick stand. The actually case itself is fine but the kickstand is a joke, I have to find another case now that has a kickstand.

That's crazy! I almost bought that case.

Here is my 10+ with the ESR case

I am totally old-school and don't use wireless charging or the wireless earbuds. Hopefully, someone else will be able to chime in.

Wireless charging on a stand works fine with the case on. You said powershare which does not work with the case on.

I tried to use powershare on my watch with this case on and it didn't work , but once I took off the case everything worked as it should
