URBAN ARMOR GEAR [UAG] Samsung Galaxy S8 [5.8-inch Screen] Plasma Feather-Light Rugged [Ice] Military Drop Tested Phone Case

This is a great case. To me, the look is very unique and I have not seen another case like it. The green color looks great. I was a bit worried it would look too dark as the phone is a dark grey and the case is semi transparent, but the color holds up well. The case is also slim, so the phone remains nearly as small as it is caseless. The case fits the S8 snugly, but not so tight that it would be hard to take off if you need to. All of the side buttons feel good. They take a bit more force to press than they do with no case, but I personally like that. It took a bit of getting used to the fingerprint sensor opening on the back, because of the grooves and textures around it feeling so similar. But after a week, or so it becomes muscle memory and is not an issue. Wireless charging still works with this case on and the phone slides in and out of pockets very easily while still having enough grip on the sides to not slide off of your lap. The most important part of a case is whether, or not it protects the phone. I have had this phone and case for just over a month and it has sustained a handful of falls with no damage whatsoever. I understand that isn't a long time to judge though. However, I had this same style case from UAG on my old Galaxy S6 for around two years and the phone still looked almost new when I took the case off. Overall, I would highly recommend this case. If the only danger you put your phone in is an occasional drop, this case should be plenty of protection while still looking good and keeping your phone non-bulky.

I found it very difficult to shop for a case for my new-to-me Galaxy S8. I was concerned about counterfeits and durability. When I found the UAG storefront (here on Amazon), I was happy, but it turns out they only had one color left (unless I wanted to buy from a different seller, which is oh-so-easy to do on Amazon without even realizing it). I wasn't a big fan of Citron, but if I wanted UAG directly from UAG, then that was my only choice (no more S8 cases on their website). Anyway... Citron is fine, it's a color I might choose for other things and since it's only on the back of my phone, I don't have to look at it all the time anyway. It fits my phone perfectly. I haven't added a screen protector yet, so not sure how it will work with that. I loved my naked phone and it's not so sleek and lovely in the case, but the upside is: it's easier to hold and not feel like I'm going to drop it. I was surprised that there wasn't anything covering the holes (headphone, charging port, speaker...). The description doesn't say that it covers the holes, but I just thought it should because that's an important thing to protect unless you live in a dust-free world. So, I'll need to get plugs for those, though I'm out of luck for the speaker I guess, though that would probably be more trouble than it's worth. I didn't want a full-on spacesuit for a case because I really love the curved screen and I was also concerned about touchscreen ease of use, also what about the camera with a full-on spacesuit case? seems like it would get in the way. I hope I never have this particular case tested for durability because I'd hate to learn it's not as durable as I hope it is, but someday I will probably drop it and I hope it falls in a way that this case will protect it. The corners are raised so I can place it upside down on a tabletop if I wanted to not look at the screen or have it go into no-notification mode and have my pretty screen be protected from the table yuckiness. But since it's only the corners, the lovely curved edges are still visible and I can swipe them easily. The camera, fingerprint reader and flash/heartbeat monitor on the back are all easily visible and useable. Though, since I've had the case on it doesn't read one of my fingerprints very well (I have 2 of my fingers set up), the second finger is easily read, but unfortunately it's the finger that's less easy to put on the reader most of the time. My backup has become my primary. People expect 5 stars to mean you like it well enough, so that's why I gave it 5 stars, but really, if everybody thought like me I'd give it probably 3.5 stars because it's not perfect and it's annoying that UAG is no longer (apparently) making new cases for the S8 so I had to get a color I didn't prefer. I'd love some sort of protection for the ports, too. Also, why can't they make it pretty? I would totally trust a pretty/frilly case from UAG, it doesn't have to look like a piece of military equipment to be effective (or for it to be believed as effective). TL;DR Nice case, especially if you can find a color you like from a reputable seller. Can't speak to durability because I haven't dropped my phone yet.

Love this case. I got it for my S8 because i had bought a UAG case for my IPad Pro 9.7 and loved that one. The Plastic on the back is slick, but because of the indents you can really keep a grip on the phone. The cut out on the back helps to guide you to the finger print sensor and hasn't negatively affected my pictures. The trim around the bezel and corners feels like a soft Plastic or hard rubber. It has flex to it with a little grip. It isn't tacky, but more bite than the glass on the phone. There are ridges on the sides and buttons to keep the phone in your hand and Pocket. The only time I've ever dropped a phone was getti g out of my car and my phone fell out of shorts or hoodie pockets. Cut outs are big enough to fit cables through. I also love that this case doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone either. The phone still feels slim in the hand. The phone comes out of the case easily enough. It's not so Tight that you think you are going to breakouts phone, but not so loose that you feel like it's going to send your phone flying out of it if you drop it. I'm really happy with my purchase and will continue to buy UAG products in the future and recomme d them to anyone. My only grip is the relief area where the UAG emblem is. It makes it difficult to put my phone in my iottie car mount. Its just deep enough to not hit the button that lets the mount's arms clamp down on the phone.

The new UAG pathfinder for the Galaxy S8 is an improvement over most cases currently in the market, including older UAG models.The composite used for the plastic part of the case cannot be scratched easily and adds grip to the phone. This is an improvement over older UAGS that while provided amazing protection and looks but scratched easily and were at times slippery. This new case keeps the shape of the phone slender while at the same time providing good impact protection on the places that matter. The look of the case is very distinctive and has already gotten a few compliments from my friends. If your on the fence between this and the black one take this if you want something that gets more attention. The reason it did not get 5 stars its because the headphone jack hole was not big enough to accommodate my headphones while the Iphone 6 one did. it could benefit from being a bit larger. This is not a deal breaker since i can use them in a "studio" setting as long as i dont move around a lot. if i need to use it at the gym or while im outside walking then the included AKG headphones fit just fine. Overall this is a case worthy of a flagship device. it gives you great protection and durability while at the same time giving you distinctive looks and a slender shape.

UAG make by far the best cases for your phone. I have used speck and otter box and neither felt as comfortable or secure as these uag cases do. I don't feel any worry if I drop my phone. I was shocked when I had the galaxy s7 edge and my first uag case and I felt like it was fully protected even with the rounded screen. These cases are well made. Light and durable. Drop tested for sure. I dropped my s7 edge a number of times and after the first few stopped worrying because I knew it was safe. It's hard to explain in words but comfortable and reassuring cine to mind. The colors on these cases pop they are beautiful. I just wish they made one in pink for my wife she would love it. Don't hesitate if you need a case these are easily among the best there have ever been. Last but not least the buttons are still clicky feeling and that right there is amazing for such a great case.

Great little case. Has a super-solid no-slip feel in your hand. Button operation is super-easy. And the accessory cutouts are huge (no problems with headphone connectors bottoming out against the case). Allows easy access to all the phone's features, including the side-swipe onscreen panels. I also bought a "Love Handle" (finger strap) to add to the back. Even with all the raised ridges on the case, the Love Handle still held perfectly. Great combination. One thing to note.... because of the nature of the round edges on the screen, the screen doesn't get as much protection from the case. On most other phones you'll have a raised protective edge around the entire display. Not possible with the S8. To allow the side swipe panels to work (and to show the "infinity" style screen) the case has to sit below the top surface of the screen. So anything that strikes across the screen that doesn't contact the two raised rubber ridges on the ends of the case, could lead to a cracked or shattered screen. That's just one of the risks you shoulder when going with the S8. But again, the S8 paired with this case is a spectacular combination. Super-satisfied.

Wow this case. I had a Spigen liquid air case, which I liked a lot, but I wanted something a bit tougher for when I go running, hiking, or to crowded areas like concerts/sports. Since I have seen so many reports of people breaking their s8 easily, I was getting nervous about mine. I did quite a bit of research and was considering this, the unicorn beetle, or poetic revolution. I could only find videos of drop tests for the uag case and apparently uag has a great reputation for durable cases (my first uag). This case is so awesome that I am going to leave it on as my main case, not just for special occasions. It is very light, looks awesome, and does not add much bulk. The bulk it does add makes the phone feel significantly more solid. The molding on the back provides great grip, opposed to smooth cases. The corners, sides, and raising are excellent. Everything fits well and the buttons click nicely. One unexpected difference I noticed between this case and the Spigen is that the side lips on the left and right do not go up quite as far onto the screen edge on the uag case. Therefore, I can feel the edge of the screen a lot better. On the Spigen, sometimes I would struggle to swipe out the edge menu. The difference is very slight but it is very noticable. It is so much more comfortable to access the edge on the uag case. It is similar to how it feels when using the phone with no case. This doesn't make the uag case feel less sturdy, however. Because the case is polycarbonate on the outer layer, the side lips do not move much at all. On pure TPU cases, you can peel the left and right sides of the case away from the phone very easily, but they don't budge on the uag case. Overall, very solid. Very worth the money. I usually only pay $10-15 for a case so this was a big purchase for me. But this is my first all-glass phone and $35 is far far less than the price to repair a broken screen or the insurance deductible.

This is my second UAG case. I had one for my Galax S7 Edge, and now I got one for my Galaxy S8. I'm very happy with the case - I have 2 year old twins that grab my phone every chance they get, so my phone drops a bit more than I would prefer. The UAG case I used with my S7 Edge kept my phone looking like new and I expect the same level of protection from the UAG case for my S8. I got the ash case, so the case is clear with a smoky tint. Overall the case has a good, solid, low profile look and is a composite plastic type material with rubber bumpers. I've found the UAG cases to be very dependable. Just ensure you get a screen protector that matches the high quality of the case.

Protège très bien le téléphone de mon copain, même en cas de chute.

Tengo esta funda para ir al gimnasio puesto que en algun despiste se te puede caer el teléfono y ya se me ha caído un par de veces (de cara) y el teléfono esta intacto. Muy contento con la compra. Eso si no la recomiendo si buscas una funda delgada, porque esta añade bastante grosor al terminal, eso si te da una sensación de grip mucho mayor.

¡Más una funda de UAG, nunca decepciona! Óptimo acabado y buena protección contra caídas, a pesar de ser delgada no tengo miedo de que el teléfono caiga al suelo

Lo que me decidió a comprarlo fue la parte que dice que está hecho de un material ultra ligero, pues digamos que si, pero yo me esperaba que fuera todavía más ligero ya que aumenta considerablemente el peso del teléfono y si es algo que pueda molestarte lo debes tener en cuenta. Un punto además que me hace no darle las 5 estrellas es que agranda demasiado el teléfono, quienes optamos por el s8 lo hacemos por su tacto a la mano entre otras cosas, es un teléfono que no se siente exageradamente grande a pesar de serlo, con esta funda eso se pierde, es algo que debí considerar antes pero que ahora se, así que yo considero que deben comprarlo únicamente si consideran que son demasiado descuidados, o si quieren darle un aspecto más robusto al teléfono.

La cover è ben rifinita e offre un'impressione di grande solidità. Calza abbastanza bene (forse un filo larga, ma solo rispetto a altre custodie da me acquistate - la larghezza non inficia la funzione). Il materiale, con l'esclusione degli angoli e delle parti in nero (l'ho comprata color arancio) è "plasticoso" al tatto, ma, d'altra parte, si tratta di plastica semirigida. Non scivola su superfici orizzontali e offre un ottimo grip. Lascia scoperti i lati maggiori curvi (altrimenti, non potrebbero essere toccati), ma un po' meno di le altre cover viste. Le sporgenze sui lati corti permettono che il cellulare, se appoggiato a faccia in giù, non tocchi la superficie. E' tra le custodie per S8 più protettive, dopo averne studiate molte. Tuttavia, a causa dei lati curvi, penso che, a meno di idee brillanti da parte di qualche progettista di cover, il Galaxy S8 non sia proteggibile come altri telefoni. Non è compatibile con la pellicola originale Samsung. Aggiungo dopo qualche prova sul campo che l'area in plastica, cioè quasi tutto il dorso della custodia, è più scivolosa, nella pratica quotidiana, di quanto non mi sembrasse. Il bordo, di materiale differente dal resto della custodia, ha un grip eccellente. La parte in plastica, meno, al segno che oggi il cellulare mi è caduto di mano. Tuttavia, la custodia lo ha protetto in modo eccellente: da una caduta da oltre un metro mentre camminavo il cellulare, ribaltatosi anche per terra due volte, non ha riportato danni (custodia UAG + pellicola Spigen). Globalmente, confermo le 5 stelle.
