This is one thing I dislike about the Note line. They don't make a lot of rugged cases other than the Defender, and UAG Monarch.

Unlike the s9 for example that has many more rugged cases and like Spigen for example has more rugged cases for the S9 that didn't extend to the Note line.

Same with Otterbox and the pursuit cases as well.
 
I just got this i-blason 360 degree cover case for my noten9, it's pretty solid without being overly bulky. I had one on my note 8 before and it worked very well. IMG_0272_exported_2707012816828562893.jpegIMG_0273_exported_3944390357218807522.jpeg
 
Yes I also have this I-blason-360. Could not be happier. I went spigen,otterbox ,the OB being my favorite but I could not keep a screen protector on it. This last pick has built screen protection that works w/s pen etc. This case is a keeper.
 
I have the iblason case also but it caused some issues with my s pen. I don't know if it was that the phone is completely sealed inside the case or if it's that's I wireless charge most of the time but over time using the case I found that my s pen was deformed and cracked. when I took the phone to Verizon the representative believe that the case was trapping heat inside the phone during the charging process and because the battery is located right next to the S-Pen the heat transfer to the S-Pen and eventually cracked the plastic near the shutter button.
I switched over to the Samsung official LED case and there were no problems going forward with the S pen however that case does not provide a lot of protection.
I am using a UAG plasma case at this time.I just received this case a few days ago and I like that it is very light but has raised edges and this offers more protection than the Samsung case. I will be closely monitoring my S pen for any sign of heat damage.

I did like the iblason case for the rugged protection that it provides but the built-in screen protector and sealed ports I believe traps a lot of heat inside the phone and ruined two s pens.

If you have the Iblason case and you mainly charge your phone wirelessly, keep a eye on your s pen. You will have to look closely for the heat damage unless yours was clearly warped and cracked like mine.
