Order a Spigen Slim Armor. I've had one on my LG G2, Note5, and now my S8+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I've ran I-Blason cases on my last couple phones they've been great. Fairly inexpensive on Amazon too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had one on my LG G2, Note5, and now my S8+ Are you using a screen protector on yours? If not, any issues with scratches? I haven't used one on my iPhones for years and nary a scratch. I've read a number of stories that the S8+ screen scratches fairly easily? That said, I've heard that about iPhones too. I had the chick at Verizon put a Zagg one on but it sucks ass. It gets smeary in no time. I might just go naked on the front like I have with the iPhones...I'm generally very gentle on my devices (unlike Timmy). My iP7+ still looks like brand new.

The screen looks as good as it did from day 1. I am pretty good with my phone (knock on wood). My coworker had his S7 Edge bust a screen, and I can say its not cheap. $250 going through Samsung. The Spigen case has a raised lip so you can place the phone face down and the screen won't touch. I've always had good luck with Spigen, so I keep buying their cases.

Tonik Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 Never used a screen protector, never had a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 +1 on Spigen. I have had them on my last two phones and they are great. I've dropped them a few times and no problems at all. I use tempered glass screen protectors with no issues with smudging. My wife dropped her phone and cracked the glass protector but the phone screen is fine. Not sure if the glass protector prevented a screen break or not but i like to think it did just to justify the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if the glass protector prevented a screen break or not but i like to think it did just to justify the cost. I'll have to look at the glass ones, not sure if they make them for the curved screen. I bet they cost a mint I don't like thick cases as a rule, I generally go minimized to avoid scratches. Knock on wood, I haven't dropped my phone in years. I've had it slide off my lap onto the carpet a few times but never on hard surface or from a significant height.

Of course it's going to be a brick. I have 4 nd 5 year old phones that seem like bricks but are actually in perfect working condtion. Be like trying to run windows 98 with todays new software. Absolutely. IF I recover it, it's just an ebook reader now or something. Way overdue for a new one. Meanwhile, one of my tablets makes sparky noises and won't turn on. Read that the battery connector rots away. Will open later, new ones are cheap enough. Already ordered from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 28, 2017 Report Share Posted October 28, 2017 Well Joe, I think you need to take it back. It would appear Sammy put the cheese between the lettuce and the tomato. That is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2017 I'm liking it so far...migration has been a bit of a pain in some areas. None of my music playlists will be recognized (I tried 50 different things) so I'll have to manually re-create them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Contacted Sygic - can't xfer my purchases from one platform to another which is a big pile of suck since I've spent $50+ (I paid for three upgrades so likely more than that). Seems like I get a LOT more notifications from apps on Android. You can fine tune them a bit better on iOS...though I read somewhere that on Oreo, notifications get an overhaul.

Each app will let you turn them off for that app, but yes Android apps do pop them a lot. You will learn quickly how to turn them off. 8 is nice, you can long press any notification and block it that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
