Reddit reviews Spigen Thin Fit Designed for Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus Case (2017) - Black

All those look really nice...except I'm not the biggest fan of the electroplated ones.

I picked up the Spigen thin fit case for my S8+.

It's 0.4 in thick (total).

I have a Spigen ThinFit for my S8+. I have to remove it to use GearVR.

Spigen has some great cases, I personally went for this one, it's super slim but it would cover up the rear decal.

Samsung Internet is a great browser, it supports extensions so you can add an adblocker easily.

Disconnect Pro (~$25) & AdHell 2 (free) are highly recommended system wide adblockers, I use AdHell and am pretty happy with it overall.

I recommend Google Photos for a gallery for the cloud storage, but if you don't care about that the stock Gallery app is fine.

Any bloat on your phone you can "disable" which will stop it from updating and clear it from your app drawer, long press to do this.

Textra is a good texting app if you don't like the stock one, but the stock one works fine for my needs.

Check out Gboard and SwiftKey as alternatives to the Samsung Keyboard, I think they're both superior.

I use this case and am happy with it.

The case that I've got actually has a place for the plate on the inside.

Have you looked at the pics from [Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XP4LGHJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491802216&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=s8+thin+fit)?

Going with this at first https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP4LGHJ/ref=crt_ewc_title_huc_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5

I like thin cases and I'm always wary of 'crystal' cases because my god they seem to scratch up like crazy

Have had this on my S7 edge for a year and it's honestly the best case I've ever owned. Perfectly raised over the edges, and super slim. Already ordered this case, just waiting on my s8 to arrive.

Second one is way too thick on the edges. My wife has the first one on her iPhone 6S and it's a great case. Buttons are free floating and nice and clicky. Does scratch/scuff really easy though, just FYI. Might want to replace it every 6 months like she does because it just looks dirty and ruins the clarity after enough regular use. You'll see.

I've ordered 3 Spigen cases so far:

[Spigen Liquid Crystal Galaxy S8 Plus Case] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP4QY2B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_l1Esrmt4SeapO)

[Spigen Thin Fit Galaxy S8 Plus Case with SF Coated Non Slip Matte Surface - Black] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP4LGHJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_yqDyxiHODk9R9)

[Spigen Air Skin Galaxy S8 Plus Case - Black] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP5JSRL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_oky.ybYW997M0)

I've only had the chance to try the first two, and the Liquid Crystal case sucks. The buttons aren't separate from the rubberish case and they're mushy. I won't deal with mushy buttons.

Ordered the Thin Fit instead and it's better but the material is a cheap hard plastic that reminds me of lower quality android phones or the older S2/S3 models. There are also breaks in the corners so you can snap it in because the plastic is so hard, and it kinda ruins the rounded, flowing aesthetic. The hard plastic cutouts on the bottom for ports and such cut into my fingers when the phone rests on it and that sucks. The areas for buttons are cut out completely which is really nice, since I like direct access to buttons. Definitely better than the Crystal, still not great at all.

The third gets here tomorrow and I'll review it when it does. It still has cutouts for the buttons which I like but they are smaller, which means more protection which I also like. The material also has no corner breaks and it's very thin while also tinted black and partially transparent, so hopefully some of the shine and aesthetics come through. The best part about it for me that I think I'll like the most is that the entire bottom is cut out, so I can rest my phone more comfortably on my fingers. I know it's almost practically just a skin on the back since it's so thin, but it has adequate corner protection and I take good care of my phones. Main goal is to avoid scratches and the occasional light fall.

If the last one doesn't work out I'll just get a transparent Neo Hybrid (first one you linked, not OP's). I at least know the quality of that case. I just wanted something a bit thinner this time around. Oh well.

I have one Neo Hybrid for when i need to be careful with my phone, and right now im trying to find 1 super thin, almost non existent case, for when im at an fancy event, or meeting, or elegant dinner party. This way i can still have the super thinness of the phone, but avoid scratching up the back.

Ive tried the Annceer case, which is very minimal, but just feels and looks dirty, by the design, so im sending this back.

I tried the Elago , this case is also thin, but just way to slippery, like a wet bar of soap. - going back

The Spigen thin air so far is my preferred super thin case of choice. Has enough grip on it too. I just wish the camera cut outs were the same as the Elago or Anncer.

and im currently waiting on the MNML case to ship so i can try that one out

I just don't care. I'm going to risk the screen and have a minimalist case so my phone still looks beautiful in my hand like this :-)

I have never dropped my phone on a hard floor as I'm very careful with it. I generally just want to protect it from scratches. If it comes back to haunt me...well....*shit happens lol.
