As part of the Android Central Community Review team, I got the chance to review the super thin Peel case for the Samsung Galaxy S8. If you like minimalism and appreciate slim profiles, then you will fall in love instantly with the Peel case.
If you are looking for a protective case, be it soft or hard, then this Peel case review isn't for you.
The Peel case is just 0.35mm thick and is very light. Make sure you handle with care as you take it from the package. It nearly feels as light as a paper.
As you feel the case in your hand, you will start to appreciate its craftsmanship. The case is precisely cut to fit your device. No branding, just the case. That is what you get with Peel.
Putting on the case is super easy. Just slide it in from the bottom and you are done. This particular Midnight Black blends nicely with the black bezels in the front. I quite like how well formed the case is. It's hard to tell you to have a case.
Looking around the case, the ports have precise cutouts that blend nicely with the device. Again, no added bumps around the ports.
One thing I like about the case is that, even though it's super thin, they managed to get a slightly raised bump for the camera and sharp precise cutouts for the fingerprint sensor. The raised bumps give protection from any scratches from the surface and the sharp precise cutout makes it easier to locate the fingerprint sensor.
However, the case doesn't protect your screen. It does not promise to as well. The top and bottom curves blend seamlessly with the curved S8's design.
I have been using this case for nearly a month now and I love it. For once, you get a case that allows you to enjoy your smartphone's design without adding any bulk. Of course, this super thin case does not protect you from drops. I didn't expect it to. It did protect me from scratches or other dings I usually put my phone through on various table/flat surfaces.
After its heavy use for a month, I could see some tiny hairline scratches on the case. Happy to see the case doing its job here - saving your phone's back surface from those scratches!
The more you use this case, you will come to appreciate the Samsung S8's design rather than the case's design. That is where the Peel excels. It's not about the case, it's about your phone.

Quote from Peel:
What if there was some middle ground: a case that protects you from bumps, scratches, and light drops, but doesn't ruin your device's aesthetic? That was the basis for creating Peel.
