I cannot find a review or pictures that show how high the sides of the case are to protect the curved edges.
I currently have the Otterbox Defender and want to get a magnetic mount for my truck. But with this case being two-layer, the outside rubber would eventually stretch with a plate between and inner and outer layers. I tried to put a plate behind the phone itself but the no mounts are strong enough to get through the inner and outer layers.
Looks like only the corners are raised above the screen from the 3rd image here

This isn't a review. Just a first impression/initial thoughts.
I handle otterbox cases of all variety everyday. This unicorn beetle feels just as good, quality wise. Its mostly comparable to the defender series however. Both have built in screen protection, port covers. Both utilize a tongue in groove like method of securing the plastic 'inner' to the rugged rubber 'outer'
Overall it feels very secure and robust, but not quite as bulky as a defender in my opinion.
The orzly glass screen protector on my g4 (edge to edge) does not interfere with the 'front' cover of the case. I have removed the built in plastic protector, so i cannot comment on how it feels etc.
I should also note that i have the plastic back on while in this case. I have not and will not attempt installation with the leather back. This case seems to meet and exceed my needs for when rugged protection is required. My typical day to day is case-less, alternating between plastic and leather backs.
The holster seems to be robust. Made with thick plastic and a 360 degree rotating belt clasp. Almost identical to the defenders holster.
Please excuse the purple tint from my m7 camera.
Do you feel like the holster would snap eventually? How did you remove the screen protector? The screen protector is a major drawback to me.
The holster feels very sturdy. However it is plastic after all and im sure it will break under certain conditions. Im at work right now so ill take some photos of the defender series holster for the g3 and post a comparison in this thread later in the evening. The screen protector was attached to the 'front' with an adhesive. It was easy to pop it out. As i mentioned in my original post, my edge to edge tempered glass protector does not interfere with the fitment of this case.
I removed the screen cover the case had built in, and all I did was push it out and pull on it. The glue used is like a double sided tape, so get as much off when removing the screen and peel the rest. DO NOT USE GOO OFF, you'll mess up the case, trust me. Removing the sticky residue is the hardest part honestly.

Note 5 Tough Case -- Artech 21 [Little Rock Series] Military-Grade Ultra Protective [Shockproof] [Drop Proof ] Heavy Duty Rugged Case with Built-in Screen Protector For Samsung Galaxy Note 5-White
This case comes as a 2 piece clamshell, top part containing the built in screen protector and the bottom having a rigid back and flexible sides that secure it to the top piece. The top half is a secured in place screen protector made of a clear and rigid plastic sheet with a cutout for the action button. The phone is snapped into this portion first where it makes a snug and secure fitment. The bottom half is thicker and possesses the bulk of the padding, seen in the honeycomb ridges and thick sidewalls. This half receives the top where it snugs into the flexible sidewalls.
The power and headphone jacks are covered with flaps, speaker and S-Pen openings are unobstructed and the volume and power buttons are firm but still responsive. The sides of the case are beveled above and below and are textured with a crosshatch design which makes it easy to pick up from a flat surface and have a secure grip. The rear of the case is branded with the company logo and an industrial design. The area around the camera is not very beveled which provides poor access to the Heart Rate Monitor. Wireless charging is functional through the case, tested on 2 OEM and 1 Samsung branded charger pads
In comparing this product with a direct competitor and king of the hill, Otterbox Defender, a few differences stand out. While both items have similar port cover designs, the hinge side on the Otterbox is to the front of the case where the silicone has the greatest flexibility and the Artech case is hinged toward the rear of the case where the silicone has greater stability. In my opinion the silicone on the Artech case will not stretch out around the port covers as easily as the Otterbox could. The Otterbox has a more accessible design around the Heart Rate Monitor than the Artech case does. The shape and texture of the silicone on the Artech case makes it appear slimmer and feel more secure than the Defender.
The biggest negative to the Artech case in my opinion in comparison to the Otterbox case; is the lack of a holster. A device this size in a thick case isn’t as convenient in a pocket. This is a personal preference however, I know many people that do not use a holster. It would be nice if a holster for the Artech was available as an add-on item.
The greatest perk to the Artech case is it is 25% of the price of the Otterbox. A second or third one could be purchased as a backups and still come out under the cost of one Defender.
I did receive this case from the vendor at a discount for the purposes of reviewing the product.
* I'll add pictures later as I have them on a different device

iPulse Journal Series Leather Wallet Case for the Galaxy Note 8
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074Z5TMY9
This is the first wallet-type case I've used with the Note 8 and it seems have everything I would want in a leather wallet case. It's smooth good quality leather, no jagged edges, multiple inner pockets, and straight matching black stitches.
Most importantly, it has a strong magnetic clasp, which is one issue I have with the wallet cases Samsung usually offers. While leather wallet cases aren't designed for maximum drop protection, having a strong magnetic clasp will prevent the phone itself from hitting the pavement. There's a gratifying snap when you close the cover and the flap won't separate unless you pull it with force.
A plus in my book is that the phone is kept in place with a soft TPU case attached to the leather. Some manufacturers like Samsung choose to use a polycarbonate case-like portion to hold the phone in place but the bottom and top of the phone is usually exposed to the elements. I had no issues inserting and removing the Note 8 from the TPU portion and it holds the phone securely. Phone port cutouts are where they are supposed to be, but be advised that the TPU does not cover the power, Bixbie, or volume rocker, which means the already shallow buttons are more difficult to press.
The brand logo is out of the way and is on the bottom left of the backside. It has a clean design on the front with no lettering. One thing I would have liked to see is an earpiece opening on the front of the leather cover so I could talk on the phone with the cover closed, but flipping the cover behind the phone is not too much of a burden. This choice also gives the front cover a cleaner look, like a leather journal would have.
I would recommend this case if you're looking for a simple and clean-looking genuine leather wallet case for your Note 8.
Mine need to push the magnetic piece where it connected to your phone away from the phone, so it wont affect S-PEN
how about yours

Is the magnetism strong enough to keep the case closed?
Heres my Spigen Rugged Armour vs Ringke Onyx Brushed Metal Case comparison reviews with side by side photos
Just a foreword I've only had Spigen cases for my OP3 and its saved me a least a few time I've dropped it either at the airport or the road - brown trouser time where u think the screen will be smashed/cracked. All times walked away with slight mark/scuffs to original OP screen protectors. Fancied something different for my OP5T so went for the Ringke as well.
Look and feel
As you can see both made of same material
The back of Ringke feels unique very sandstone type texture which provides excellent grip whereas the Spigen is very smooth rubber
However the Ringke case feels much thinner so not sure if offers same protection as Spigen
Cutouts and Front lip protection
Front lip protection to protect the screen - think the Spigen wins slight extra thickness to the the lip
Extra protection for the camera both same - few extra mm to protect the rear cameras
Again both have cutouts for all key ports - Ringke also has dust covers for USB-C port and headphone jack which is actually a good thing (fluff stopping charging situations) However a big negative - very hard to access the alert slider using the Ringke due to the top lip so Spigen wins
Both are compatible with the original OP screen protector with no lift off but I think this may be due to human error as I assume applied by hand at factory and I seen some when not fully lined up with screen /front camera etc.
Costs well the Ringke is the slightly cheaper and it came with a free lanyard both premiums products but for me the alert slider access is key issue for me I will keep both and swap due to how I feel. Any questions fire away
I used the Spigen rugged armour on my oneplus 2 and 3. I was thinking about getting it for my OP5T, but I got the sandstone case when I bought the phone and that is just absolutely fantastic... probably doesn't do much when it comes to protecting the phone.. but, it looks amazing.
Once I get tired of looking at this beautiful thing, I will probably end up buying the Rugged Armour
It would be nice to see a pic of the phone in the cases...
I browsed the thread for thin cases, and while there are some good suggestions there, I think I'd like to go with something a little beefier.
What are some favorites in the not thin category? Right now I'm leaning towards the
Spigen Tough Armor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GF9554...olid=1QS9U7KHNWE1G&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it, which doesn't look to be too huge and bulky but I wouldn't consider it thin either.
Anything else?
Thin cases with little protection don't cut it.
For my 10+ the Zizo Bolt case is near perfect. Not very thick or bulky with excellent drop protection... I've inadvertently tested more than I care to
Unfortunately this phone is still too new, in time one will be punched out for it.
Here's one for the 7T

Get a case with good corner/face plant with a raised cam guard for now. A two layered case with a outer polycarbonate shell and a stiff urethane liner seem to do best which one reason a like the Bolt so much. I rarely use the snap on clip back (3 layers) but when in it the phone is very well protected.
I just got my order in. I've had several Poetic cases and I've been very happy with all of them. I've got one on my 7 Pro and 8 can't wait to pop this one on my 8T https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NHTTPXT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I use this Spigen Case on my 8T, pretty happy with it

I have both the Spigen Hybrid , nice case but a finger print magnet.. the Tough Armor is really nice my main case though I wish it came without the little kick stand.. and the Ringke Fusion Camo version is also really nice similar to the Hybrid but with way less finger prints..
I love my dbrand Grip case. It goes over the edges of the screen, feels sturdy, has extra grip on the sides, has a microfiber backing on the inside, and is just all-around solid. Been using it for almost four months now.
