Samsung Galaxy Note 9 - Recommend Cases

[sweetypie31]

I got the TOZO case, https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...ag=hawk-future-21&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6461961 and its brilliant. The TOZO glass screen protector fits perfectly. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product...ag=hawk-future-21&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6461961

I like this case but it doesn't ship to the US...

No case. I use a wood skin from toastmade.com and a film style screen protector to keep scratches off the glass.

I am also very careful with what I do with my phone and where it is set down.

I have seven cases for my Note 9.

UAG Monarch - I don't like the way it feels. It's nothing like the cases UAG originally made.

Spigen clear TPU - I forget the actual name, but it's the one that's flexible. I don't like it. TPU is not my thing any longer.

Spigen Tough Armor - (2) It is grippy and feels good in the hand, seems like it would provide decent drop protection, I just don't like the buttons. They are flush with the side of the case.

Rhinoshield Solid Suit - I use it for weekend or light duty day carry. It's a bit slippery, but is low profile and slides in and out of pocket easily. The volume bottoms are a bit difficult to operate.

Samsung Silicone Cover - It's very grippy, but because of this collects lint and hangs onto it. I would use this for light duty day carry if it weren't for lint and debris sticking to it. It's called "ocean blue" but does not match the ocean blue Note 9. It's more of a grey.

Samsung Rugged Protective Cover - I like this case. It's very grippy, without being tacky and seems like it would provide good drop protection. Some folks thin it's too heavy. It is a bit heavier than other cases, but if I'm not doing a side by side comparison I get used to it. I actually measured this and the Samsung Silicone Cover on the Note 9 on a kitchen scale and the difference was, with Samsung Silicone 8.75 oz
and with Samsung Rugged Protective Cover 9.55 Oz. I use this case for work day carry.

WIRELESS CHARGING

Ok, I got my hands on a wireless charger and tested the following cases. All achieved fast charging with screen off only. What an odd limitation to purposely build in. I was testing in order to see if a wireless charging nav dock is an option, but with no fast charge with screen on, the idea is pointless.

UAG Monarch
Spigen Tough Armor
Spigen clear TPU (I forget the name, it's the one that's flexible)
Rhinoshield Solid Suit
Samsung Silicone Cover
Samsung Rugged Protective Cover

I have not measured each one for thickness but I did measure the Samsung Rugged Protective Cover, which I believe to be the thickest of this bunch. The thickness of the back is approximately 3.6mm.
I've read some Amazon sellers state that their wireless chargers will not work on cases thicker than 4mm.

UAG Plasma was the first one I used. Now using the OtterBox Symmetry with Spigen style ring 2 on the back.

BTW, there is a stickied thread for cases in the Note 9 forum, tho I cannot see it, using the AC app, I've seen it on the AC web site.

I'm looking for a case that has a built-in screen protector. But finding one with no rainbow effect or oil slick effect is proving to be an issue.
