Ringke Case Previews for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8

[Adam Matlock]

If you're a person that likes to keep your precious phone protected in a fancy, stylish case, then you've undoubtedly heard of Ringke before. Ringke has been in the business of making cases for quite a while now, and their new models for the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 are definitely up-to-par with the rest of the phone models that they support. In anticipation of Samsung's new Galaxy Note 8, Ringke has released new versions of their popular Fusion, Air Prism and Onyx series cases. All three of these case models have been around for a little bit now, with the Air Prism being the most recent edition. So, if you're on the fence about what case to get for your device before it arrives, or generally just looking for something fresh and inexpensive to make a fashion statement, take a few minutes to see what Ringke has to offer!


Ringke Fusion:
I have had the pleasure of reviewing the Ringke Fusion previously for the BlackBerry KEYone, and the same winning qualities from the previous model have transferred over to the new Note 8 model. The Fusion series is a NGP style, clear-backed case that allows you to keep your phone safe with it's built-in smoked or clear colored bumpers. The clear-backed feature is especially clever because it allows you the ability to give the world an unimpeded view of the fancy colors and detail of your new phone, without having to compromise on safety - which is especially important considering the price tag associated with the device! In addition to looking stylish, the Fusion case is the only one of the three listed here that offers MIL-STD 810G - 516.6 Certified Military Grade Drop Protection! You can pick up the Fusion case in three colors: Clear, Smoke Crystal, and Rose Gold Crystal. The case is currently on sale for $9.99 through Amazon.com, and it's eligible for Prime free 2-day shipping.


Ringke Onyx:
The Onyx series has been around for a little while now, and I have owned one previously for my iPhone 7+. I have been a big fan of Ringke for a long time. I used them almost exclusively for several years and relyed on the Ringke Slim style cases to keep my phone protected. I am big on maintaining the natural form factor of my devices, but at the same time I like to keep them protected, and looking good. The Onyx colored case does an excellent job in providing a simple, yet refined exterior, with the lined texture variations on the back and the carbon-fiber'esque diagonal lines on the top and bottom of the case backing. The case is only available in Black, and is currently on sale for $6.99 through Amazon.com, and it's eligible for Prime free 2-day shipping.


Ringke Air Prism:
If you fancy something a bit more glittery and translucent for your phone case, the Prism series may be just what you're looking for. The Ringke Air Prism style case is relatively new and comes in various colors: Clear, Glitter Clear, Glitter Gray, Ink Black, Rose Gold Crystal, and Smoke Black. Each color creates its own unique color and sparkly look for your Note 8, especially if you keep the included Holographic Iridescent Deco film sheet inside the case, adding an additional letter of fabulousness to your phone's exterior. The film is included in the package and is optional; it gives you the option between glitter, and glitter sparkle max! So... if you're interested in keeping your phone safe, fancy, and want to show off your inner-sparkle vicariously through your phone, this is definitely worth taking a look at! The Ringke Air Prism is currently on sale for $7.99 - $12.99 (depending on color selection) through Amazon.com, and it's eligible for Prime free 2-day shipping.


Conclusion: All three of these cases and the other various cases that Ringke offers for the Note 8, are well-priced, and the styles are varied enough to appeal to a wide audience.

The Ringke Fusion was a favorite on my N7, but this year the back has that watermark liquid looking spot. I hate that. I also have the Bevel and Wave. No complaints with those.

I love the Ringke cases, but like Katrina White1 mentioned the case tends to sag in the middle, resulting in touching the phone and creating a point of contact that looks like a wet spot. I supposed a skin or even a picture on the back may help alleviate that issue.

I had to modify mine a bit by shaving into the front corners so it doesn't raise my Whitestone Dome Glass protector. unfortunately, I may have to opt for a different case all together as this looks like it will still cause a lift on my screen protector.

I had a Fusion case on my BlackBerry Passport and it was the only case I used until I moved over to Android.

My Affinity Poetic case for my Note 5 had that wet spot look in the back. I knew it wasn't water, since I was careful and anytime I took off the case I'd wipe it down, be careful and put it back on. Still was there.

I have a Ringke clear case on now. I'll see how it works.
So far it seems good.

I have the blue Wave and it looks and feels great!
It'll be the one I use for work, I work in construction btw.
