i-Blason Case for Galaxy S8+ Plus 2017 Release, Ares Full-Body Rugged Clear Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy S8+ Plus (Black)

Wow. I am VERY impressed with this case! I am very hard to please when it comes to cell phone cases. I want simple but functional, slim but protective, durable but not bulky, quality but not expensive. This case delivered in every one of those aspects. I've never heard of the brand before but it's obvious they did their homework on this case. There is obviously a good amount of design that went into it and its very thought out. It arrived in a simple cardboard box but well packaged and protected inside.I purchased this case for 3 main reasons: built in screen protector, reviews, and the fit. It is a dual layer case with rubberized outer shell. The phone actually snaps into the front of the case first, then into the back shell, I've never seen a case like this before. The buttons are very recessed into the front part of the case but the rubber back has extensions that reach into the buttons. I've seen this style before and it works very well in this case. They feel nearly identical as with no case on at all.The covers for the charging port and headphone jack fit nicely however are a little stiff. I hope they don't break off over time but I rarely use either of those ports. The fit around the unique curved screen of the S8 is very good. I was concerned about the feel of a case around the edge of the screen but it feels good and does not inhibit swiping or the edge menus.Access to the fingerprint scanner is also very good and better than my last case. The clear back shows off the phone very nicely, most cases cover it up. I'm sure the plastic will scratch on the back eventually but its bound to happen.The final fit and finish of this case is excellent. No gaps around the edge, cutouts line up perfectly, its comfortable to hold, and looks great at the same time. I'm very surprised about how much I like it, could possibly be the best case I've ever had on any phone. I may be buying their cases for my other devices as well!

This is the BEST phone case EVER!I have gotten several cases for several phones as I'm sure many of you have. While walking on a concrete parking lot I lost my grip on my phone (an S8+). All glass! I then tried to catch my falling phone, only to succeed in actually swattlng the doomed phone to the concrete. It dropped HARD from about 4' high. I only had a tiny scuff on the case that brushed right off. The phone slammed on the corner, then bounced face down. At that point, I knew if the phone still worked I would be calling 911 in response to the heart attack I was having ! But, NO! I picked up the phone and it was still perfect! Thanks to this AMAZING phone case! The material is very strong, comfortable to hold, not a bulky military version and ABOVE ALL, a phone and life saver. I have literally shattered other pricey cases, but this one was definately the winner by far. STRENGTH, beauty, so easy to put on. You get it all! Also, some reviews stated the plastic screen cover scratched easy. Not so! Sure, a child scribbling on it with a fork could do it, but a little care, and I've found no scratches in a months time (even after that slam-drop! ) Fingerprints can show if you've been eating potatoe chips for example. A soft cloth is all it takes to wipe the cover off. Touch is extremely easy with no adjustment to sensitivity needed. Last but not least: I would have busted up a $1000 phone if it wasn't in this l-blaison case. You will be extremely happy with it! I don't trust reviews that are just dropping with positives. (Yet, here is one) and I'm not sorry. I speak the truth. I am paid by Nobody for my review. If you truly want to save your phone from a "slam" into the concrete, hang tight to your phone... BUT if that fails you'd better have this case on it. Seriously, it's a winner. Get this case and you'll also be a winner (by saving your phone).

I just got the S8+ and was looking for a case with a built in screen protector. I've used i-Blason cases before and have been happy with them, and this is the only one I could find with a decent built in screen protector. Not really a fan of the clear plastic back, but I figured I could live with it in order to have the added front protection.Conveniently, the case arrived the same day I got my phone. It was easy to put on and felt pretty good in my hand, but I really didn't like the back of it. I decided it would be fine for now, so I left it on and kept searching for other cases with the features I wanted. After doing research and learning many people don't even use a screen protector, I found this case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XGWRLTD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1I've got Unicorn Beetle cases on two of my tablets and I really like the solid feel of them. I was uncertain about the lack of front protection but the price was right so I went ahead with the purchase. Long story short, I put the phone with the I-Blason case in the holster for the Unicorn Beetle and it fit...so my wheels started turning and, just for grins, I popped the phone out of the clear plastic backing of the I-Blason case, replaced the backing with the solid back shell of the Beetle case...and viola! It fit perfectly!By combining the best features of these two really good cases, I now have the perfect case. I'm super picky and very protective of my gadgets so I'm very happy I played Frankenstein and merged the two. It feels solid in my hand and the screen protector is aces high. It does not interfere with the beauty of the screen at all, and I have not seen any problem with the touch sensitivity at all. Sound from the speaker is a little echo-y, but that doesn't bother me as I rarely use the speaker anyway. I don't have a wireless charger so I'm not sure it would work through this case, but if I get one I'll update this review. The shell of the Beetle case fits perfectly around the screen protector front of the i-Blason, no gaps at all. Too bad I had to buy two different cases to get what I wanted, but the cost is negligible compared to the cost of my phone.If you don't care about the clear plastic back, there's nothing wrong with this i-Blason case. If you prefer a more solid feel, do what I did and you'll be happy.
