Apologies for the long reply...
You can check out XVIDA. I use the XVIDA Car Mount and an XVIDA StickyPad. (Note the XVIDA StickyPad works with the phone naked or with a smooth back case)
The are three variants. Suction Cup, Air Vent, and CD Slot Mount.
I also use their Desk Mount and Mountable Pad.
I am not sure if the XVIDA StickyPad is compatible with the Pitaka case. I am curious to know though. I have an X-Doria Galaxy Note 8 Case Defense Lux Carbon Fiber case, XVIDA StickyPad, Case friendly 0.33mm dot matrix tempted glass protector, and a uh ring finger thing. I like how the Pitaka case looks not sure about drop protection.
This case and screen protector combo has saved from a weird drop. Flying out of my hands screen first unto the metal protusions of a shopping cart. Broken screen protector near the Iris scanner and bottom near the default location of the back button. Screen was saved with no scratches or anything. I panicked though since this was just 3 days from my purchase.
Note:
If the Note 8 case isn't smooth you need to use stronger double sided adhesives.

I already have 2 scosche magnetic car mounts, so I was hoping for a solution that used those...that stickypad sounds like it might work, though, if there aren't any other options.

Oh sadly the Scosche Magnetic Car Mounts won't work. The magnets have to be around the qi wireless charging transmitter on the mount. Magnets and metal interferes with Qi wireless charging. In fact Qi wireless charging also slightly interferes with the S-Pen when using a wireless charging powerbank. I even got a notification pop-up stating that.
Mophie also has a solution but I don't want a battery case.

Hrm, yeah the mophie also isn't water resistant. Wonder if the Pitaka really is the only solution for the time being...? Too bad so many people seem to be having customer support issues with them!
I have a Pitaka case and it is the only one that works with mag mounts and wireless charging. I think Pitaka is just overwhelmed with orders. Before I got this case I had to use a metal plate a small one and put it on the outside of my case all the way up by the camera for it to work with my wireless charger. It looks horrible but it worked. So when I heard about Pitaka I jumped on it fast. I ordered mine and the car mount and I received it in about 8 days. I would just keep checking back with them. It is well worth it.
Actually.. I did a slight modification to my spiegen, and it does both.. The only thing I did was cut one of the round magnets in half, and then, placed it in the normal indention for the magnet.. And I have used it now, for at least a good month without issue.. I also turn the phone landscape on the charging stand sometimes to watch a video while charging...

It was very easy mod.. Took about 3 minutes to cut the magnet.. The most difficult part of course was cutting the magnet(but if you have a dremel, it's a non thought). And it is the thin fit case.. Very, very easy.... Link below to the case and the magnets:

If you are willing to pay the price. Mophie's Charge Force line has this.
about 50 for the case and another 50 for the car charger.
100 for the case for the battery case version

MatroxD,
Are you saying that you cut the round metal plate in 1/2 and only using half of the metal plate on the top part of the case cut out to provide more room for the wireless charging magnets?
Thanks

I think your complicating it in your head, more than it really is, in action.. Visualize what I wrote, and then, look at the two pieces that I linked to.. And it will come to you.. You honestly just cutting the magnet (plate) in half and sticking it in the case indention that is already there.. Versus using the whole thing.. It's really, truly not technical at all..

No problem.. Hopefully it helped.. I just thought to myself when I got the 8 that there has to be an easier way to solve this.. I may at some point end up ordering that carbon case (honestly, it's just a sweet case), but spending 50.00 on a case, for me, I have a ton of hobbies already that suck up enough money..

Am I the only one that doesn't use the metal plate the mount comes with? It just sticks to my phone without having to use a metal disc. I'm using a sosche magnetic mount, same story with my previous s7e and s8+, granted I am using one of the super thin peel case.
Hey all,
I'm getting a Note 9 soon here. I'm looking for recommendations on screen protectors and whether I should get a case for it. Ideally if I did get a case I'd want something as thin and unobtrusive as possible. I'm generally pretty good with phone and haven't cracked a screen on one yet, but I've also tried to be safe with them. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Hi Do you live in a country where you can make purchases from Amazon? I am not avoiding the question its just that there is a plethora of cases ranging from Samsung's own, that I use, to others from very well known manufacturers. With regard to a screen saver since Samsung went curved screen I have not been able to find a decent screen protector. I just don't bother.

Yeah, I'm in the US, so Amazon is the likely source.
I purchased the Amovo case:
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Note-...898636&s=gateway&sprefix=amovo,aps,467&sr=8-3
Mainly because the brown one matches my Metallic Copper Note 9 perfectly. It fits the phone really well and all the holes on the bottom line up exactly as they should. Also has decent coverage around the corners.
I haven't used the wallet very much, but the magnet is very strong and holds the phone solidly in place. The magnet is in the wallet and the phone case has 2 metal strips running down each side. Should work in magnetic car holders. No issues with wireless charging.
I like the iCarez screen protectors:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FMW9Q2B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Lots of holes along the top, but they all lineup really nice. Gives good coverage on the screen and doesn't interfere with the case I'm using. Also, it covers the rounded edges perfectly (some don't and allow dust to get under the protector).
Hope this helps.
I would highly recommend that your purchase the case for your device first, before purchasing a screen protector. So that they will both be compatible with each other.
I've the UAG case from here
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Cases by UAG- Rugged, Slim, & Lightweight – URBAN ARMOR GEAR
https://urbanarmorgear.com/products/plasma-series-galaxy-note-9-case
Been using it since the 1st week I got my note and it's been great! Also, dont know about screen protector as I dont have one. I've 1 designated pocket only for my phone and nothing else. My note 9 has ZERO surface scratches on the screen.
Anyone use the whitestone dome with a note 9? The thing looks impressive, but I'm a little worried about the cost and the "curing" process. Does it damage the screen if it needs to be removed/replaced later?
The Whitestone Dome TGSP has served both the wife and I very well. Since complain about "spidering" of the Loca glue. That has only showed up, after a drop for us.
There is a similar item, that is a bit cheaper on Amazon, that I've read good things about, that I may try next, if the need arises.
Roopose Galaxy Note 9 Screen Protector Tempered Glass,3D
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
We have 2 wireless chargers, CHOETECH Wireless Charger, Qi Certified Wireless Charging Pad & AUKEY Wireless Charger Qi Certified, Fast Wireless Charging Pad with 10W, 7.5W and 5W Output Levels, both were tested with 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.
ETA, since the sun has finally appeared, here in the Pacific Northwest, I have noticed several small scratches on the Whitestone Dome Glass. It's been on my Note 9 for nine months. I don't think I ever noticed as many of any scratches on TGSPs I've used on previous phones.
Spigen Neo Hybrid and Whitestone Dome have been great for me!
stock plastic flip case, the cover can show LED time.
I would probably go for a force case and force glass since they are lifetime guaranteed and not too bulky.
Or a customized toast made one if I come across a nice idea.

Do you have links for force case and force glass?
What is customized toast?
Is that like Cylon toast?
I don't use a screen protector, don't think I really need one. Case, I have a ZeroLemon 10,000. Here are the downsides of the case, though:
No battery calibration - Once your phone battery runs low, you use the case as an external charger. I think this is all battery cases, though since you can't remove the battery and replace it with a larger one. I can go about 3 days without plugging my phone into the wall, though.
No DEX support - Remove the case for this
File Transfer is finicky - Remove the case for this
I haven't tried, but I heard it doesn't support NFC
No Fast Charging support
It's Heavy and Bulky!
The only reason I use it is because of the battery life, and I keep my phone in a bag, anyways. This case will more likely NOT fit in your pants pocket.
Oh, and also, I have large hands. It actually feels great to hold in comparison to just the phone. So, if you have large hands, that'd be another plus, as well.
im using the seidio surface case with holster and the whitestone dome tempered class screen protector.
not cheap but the results are nice.

why are all the picture on the case site low res and renders? its weird....how can one want to buy this based on that?
company has a strange way of presenting its product.
I was using the pitaka for my note 10+ didn't looked back since then.
Light, strong, nice, wireless charging and NFC works well with the aramid fibre. I have other carbon fibre casing which causes the NFC not to work.
Anyway best part is that the case is so thin and it's compatible with any magnetic mount! This means you do not need to have a separate metal plate on your phone or case, this casing have it embedded inside the case.

I do not have any pitaka car mount, but I uses this one other magnetic car mount and it works fine, with wireless charging too.
I placed order for my case very early. Perhaps thats why I got it early I guess.

How is the cut along the side of the phone? I have had multiple cases from Pitaka but the on on my Note 10 Plus I couldn't stand and returned . They made the sides a little to short in my opinion and it was difficult to pickup because the edge. Tried the LaterCase and the sides cam up just enough to be comfortable. I want another Pitaka because the magnet and Samsung pay still working with it.

Other MagEZ cases work with the MagEZ car mount, but not the MagEZ case for Note 20 plus. However, their wireless charging car mount does work with MagEZ case for Note 20 Ultra.
Why not get the charging one? It's good to have a little charge while driving.
https://www.ipitaka.com/products/magez-mount-qi-for-s20-ultra-p40-pro
Is the air worth $10 more than the MagEz?
I have the MagEz on my S20 Ultra and rarely use the magnetic feature.
Plus, I think the finer pattern looks better even though the phone is huge.
I've been using the MagEZ case since the Note 8, and have the older Qi charging mount for my car (Not quick charge), and haven't looked back one bit. I'm trying to decide if I want to pick up the MagEZ Mount Qi Desktop, or the MagEZ Juice(Has a detachable Qi charging pack). Now that I look at their site, I might need to upgrade to the mount for the N20U......
They have some great products and even though the case doesn't offer much in the way of serious fall protection, it's very thin and has a great texture to it.

If you don't use the magnetic feature, you may consider the air case. Air case is more expensive because the aramid fiber used to make the case is rarer. By the look, you can see the pattern difference, and the touch is greater. And of course, lighter and thiner, without the magnetic feature.
i would like to see them make it in different colors like they do for the iphones. Also would like to see the heavy duty case they also make for iphones
Just got the Pitaka MagEZ case and it's nice but still wish the sides came up more. Here is it compared to the Spigen slim fit. You can see when you hold the phone with the Pitaka you are holding right on the cases edge. It's super slim so not to big a deal I just feel like it's less surface area and feels like it's going to slip sometimes. I have the Latercase coming soon and will see how that one is.
For me the Pitaka Mag case looks perfect. Mine should be here any day.

I went for the pitaka Air case. Takes noting away from the feel of the phone while adding some much needed grip

You did get the wrong case... air case has no metal plates, no magnetic feature. Sure thing it will fall off from the charging mount. You would need a Mag case, or get some metal strips for the air case.
Received my MagEZ case & car mount. Case is good, very light and slim, might not be super helpful for drops, but for surface level protection it should be good. There is a small amount of lift for setting the phone face down and around the camera. There appears to be a removable insert around the camera hold for the maybe 1 mm lip, but I'm not planning on taking that out, that doesn't appear to be an "intended" feature.
The car mount is good too, it holds on to the phone well
enough, but it has to rest on the camera module to get a snug grip and to charge the phone. The contact point that touches the camera is soft rubbery, so I don't think it'll scratch it, but if some dirt or something gets on there it may? Not sure
How good is the Pitaka Mag case, along with the magnetic wireless charger? Are they worth the price tag? I'm wondering if there are any discount codes floating around?
MagEZ Case for Samsung Galaxy S21/S21+/S21 Ultra - PITAKA
A durable and minimalist case for Galaxy S21, S21+ and S21 Ultra. Magentic compatibility with MagEZ magnetic chargers and accessories.
www.ipitaka.com
I ordered it and sent it back, because I got sweaty hands from the case and it was very fast full of fingerprints. The carbon one might be better
What's the carbon one? The Air?
None of Pitaka is carbon, they are all aramid. Both the magez and the air case are the same material. The air does not have metal plates embedded and is therefore a little thinner.
Opinion: They are brilliant.
I got this case its light and have 360 + camera protection, added a rounded metal plate on the bottom of the phone and got this very strong magnetic holder love this setup, maybe don't like that there is no raised top and bottom, only 4 corners are raised be like 1-2 mm so placing the phone on the table face down is possible but not recommended imo unless you have some protector on the screen. Also you can check Mous case and mounts they look rly nice and have epic protection but they should increase phone bulkiness a lot.

I got this case its light and have 360 + camera protection, added a rounded metal plate on the bottom of the phone and got this very strong magnetic holder love this setup, maybe don't like that there is no raised top and bottom, only 4 corners are raised be like 1-2 mm so placing the phone on the table face down is possible but not recommended imo unless you have some protector on the screen. Also you can check Mous case and mounts they look rly nice and have epic protection but they should increase phone bulkiness a lot.

Yes, Mous case are indeed very good protection and quite good looking.
I'm waiting for their magnetic charger to come out to try it eventually.
But to come back to op question, yes I think Pitaka case looks great, but keep in mind that it is very minimal protection, if that's important to you.
By the way, anyone can think why the thinner lighter without metal version of the Pitaka case is more expensive than the magnetic one?
I'm looking for real aramid cases so I ask for brands. I bought some that were painted plastic in reality. I know that Pitaka is real aramid, what about Monocarbon? Do you know other brands? I'm from Spain so I need brands shipping to Spain
Thanks!
I think Mous case has it, check it out.
Thanks for the answer! I checked Mous but they do not offer full aramid cases. Pitaka does but do not cover all the body of the phone, the top and the bottom are open and I already had a scratch just there. Also magsafe magnets makes the Samsung wireless chargers to not work properly. I was happy with my Monocarbon case in my S22 but I'm not 100% sure if they make full aramid cases or they are like others just hard plastic with the aramid aparence
Does a case with a closed top and bottom exist?
I have found this case: https://latercase.com/products/galaxy-s23-thin-case
But usually cases that are 100% made out of a hard, non-flexible material (so no TPU or whatever), don't have a closed top and bottom, as they're near impossible to put on your phone.

Closed top, bottom and buttons. I asked them and they told me that they are manufactoring the case for the S23 right now. I expect it to be also all closed but... Monocarbon makes real Aramid? It seems yes but hard to be sure even having the case. It is slimmer than pitaka MagEZ but thicker than Pitaka Air and can be put and taken off

Looks nice but I just ordered the aramid case on aliexpress. I'm not a fan of cases with one large cutout for all the lenses and the led.
I have a Spigen liquid air case now and really like it. If only they'd make magsafe versions as well.

Received it today. It fits really well but it interferes with charging on a Google wireless desk charger so I put my Spigen liquid air case on the phone again. It does start charging but after a couple seconds it stops again. Perhaps the magnetic ring is too small but I don't really know.
I just received this one and I'm very happy. It is magsafe but works with my samsung ultra fast wireless charger duo. It charges fast and the case don't get hot. Covers all the sides except the right side where the volume an power buttons are but is just a little exposed compared with others. As I said, I'm very happy.
