for Samsung Galaxy S8 Case, IP68 Waterproof Dustproof Case with Built-in Screen Protector, Rugged Full Body Shockproof Protective Phone Cover for Galaxy S8 (Black)

I'm the idiot who's constantly dropping his phone ALL THE TIME. So much so that I began to think phones were supposed to have spiderweb cracks on the screen. This product stopped all that. I saw a standing woman at a bus stop drop her phone directly onto the concrete and was stunned when she picked it up - unharmed. I asked her where she got her case and she told me amazon and even showed me a picture from her order. So I got it. And being the idiot I am, and right after installation, I accidentally dropped my new phone, with case, onto my concrete pool deck where it just BOUNCED with NO DAMAGE to the screen. OMG! The case is also listed as waterproof, so being the moron I am, as I pick up the phone totally shocked that the screen was undamaged and turned around to show my friend, I slipped off the edge of the pool deck and into the pool - phone, clothes, wallet and all. While I was soaked and my wallet took a hair dryer to repair, my phone floated calmly across the pool and remained dry as advertised! Other good things: the case membrane itself doesn't interefere with the touch screen (and keeps scratches off the screen as well). And the two plug covers at the bottom of the case are durable and haven't even come close to showing signs they might be breaking off after months of use. And it's easy to plug in headphones or a charging cord. And the buttons on the outside of the case lined up perfectly with my phone. The case makes the phone a little uncomfortable to hold as it adds some width, but I'll trade a little discomfort for a cracked screen any day. And after a while you just don't notice it. And as it turns out, the rubber case gives you a better grip when your hands are slippery (thank goodness). What a great freaking product!

Very nice case but hard to get off

Update a couple of years later; So I did return this case and went with another less occlusive, less bulky and thus less protective case. Now I regret not sticking with this less convenient but more protective case since my old but still functional S8 has a couple minor cracks in its screen and the back plate is completely shattered. So I just bought this case again and put it on my ole' S8. Better late than never, I guess. This case still suffers from the same drawbacks as before but Im willing to put up with them to get a little more use out of my S8. I did find that this case DOES allow wireless charging IF you use the right wireless charger and position the phone on it just right. Using the fingerprint reader remains a huge issue. Why Samsung thought any smart phone should have a glass backplate is beyond me. Just one more thing on a phone to worry about breaking and its gonna be covered by a case in most instances anyway! This case is great possibly for vacations on the water or people who work in severely dust/dirt contaminated areas but for every day use it's not very good at all. Scanning your fingerprint successfully takes multiple attempts. Sometimes many multiple attempts and that is AFTER I deleted my old fingerprint record and made a new one with this case on the phone. I ended up locking myself out of my bank app trying to get my fingerprint recognized through this case. Also, people on the other end of a call are now frequently telling me that I'm not coming through clearly or that I'm breaking up. I now have to almost yell to make sure that I'm heard the 1st time around. None of this ever happened before the day that I applied this case. Furthermore, I can no longer charge my phone wirelessly. I use to get one beep to indicate that the phone was correctly aligned and charging on its wireless charger and that was all. Now a second beep immediately follows the 1st and no charging happens. So dont believe the add for this case when it says that you can charge through the case. So anyway, if you work, live or play in dirty, wet or hazardous areas, this case might be worth the trade offs I mentioned. For the rest of us, this case is far more of a hassle than it's worth. I'm going to return mine and try something else.

I have had this case on my phone since May 2019. It is very durable and my phone is well protected! After more than two years there are some scratches on the plastic screen covering, so I thought about getting a new case. After looking around on Amazon, I think I will only buy this case. Yes, it makes the phone bulkier. That is the price you pay to keep your phone in one piece if it gets dropped, right? In the past I have had phone cases with no cover over the front glass and the did fine, but now I have a four-year-old daughter and I am keeping the extra protection. This case fits well, the touch screen is as responsive as it would be without the plastic cover. The fingerprint reader works well too. My calls are not muffled. It's funny, I recently had to switch my sim card when my cellular provider was bought out, and I had some issues with muffled calls — I was yelling into my phone and they couldn't hear me. I thought maybe it was the case, but I did some phone maintenance and calls are clear again, even with the case on. I have no idea how I fixed my issue, but I did. Haha. So it wasn't this case causing an issue. I read a review that said this case is hard to remove. The case has a notch in a lower corner where you can use an edge to pry and open the case to remove your phone. Of course it's not going to be easy, this thing is water resistant! Anyway, if you are hesitating, go with this one. It's really good. If I get a new case, I might get a gray one instead of black. More colors would be nice!

Thank you. Item came in on time.

I had a jaity case on my s8 for years that I bought on amazon that was a great, cheap alternative to the lifeproof cases. When I broke the button on accident and needed to replace it, I was sad that it was currently unavailable. After shopping around, this seemed to be the most comparable case on amazon with decent reviews, so I gave it a try. I will say that it does protect my phone as I have dropped it a few times in the month since I've had it and so far so good. I've also not had any complaints about sounding muffled during calls as other reviewers have mentioned...though to be fair, I don't make tons of long phone calls. My complaints are the ways that day-to-day functionality is impeded by this case. For example, the buttons require a lot of force to press, at least compared to my old jaity case, making waking up/putting the phone to sleep, adjusting volume, and using the power+volume down to take a quick screenshot very annoying. The bigger issue though is that the swipe-down menu at the top of the screen takes many tries for me to press hard enough and at the right angle to get it to register through the case to my phone. I don't know if it's the thickness of the plastic or the angle between that upper corner of the case and the curved edge of the s8 screen, but this is really frustrating because that is the main way to control things like screen brightness, battery, and is the way you access notifications. If you can put up with those functionality annoyances, it seems to be a decent case for the price. I have also only had it for a month, so maybe the buttons will wear in with time and not be so hard to push, at least. It could also be that my hands just need to re-learn this case and exactly how hard/where to press to get the swipe down menu to work seamlessly. Time will tell. These were just the things I noticed immediately and was disappointed about when I first started using the case, so I want to put it out there to prepare anyone else out there for those possibilities. Update: I still have this case over a year later. The buttons still require a great deal of pressure to use and the screen scratches very easily. There are so many scratches from the top of the case to 1/3 of the way down due to how hard I have to swipe to get the swipe down menu to pup up and see my notifications. It's sometimes hard to read what's on the screen because there are so many scratches from even the tiniest rubbing up against something. Very annoying. It has kept my phone alive through many, many hard falls though, so it is durable at least.

I am updating my review from a 3 to a 5*. After having it for several weeks, I have decided that I like it a lot. What I most like is that it is rugged and thin. It has clear plastic over the front and back that seem to be strong and very clear. Plus the case claims to be waterproof though I have no intention of testing this. At least not on purpose. There are some issues. 1; The buttons are hard to push. They take a lot of force. In some ways this is good. Previously, I would often inadvertently turn the ringer down by accidentally touching these buttons. I was missing calls. Not likely with this case. Actually, this may be a feature. I have not once accidentally turned off my ringer as I did before I had the case. 2. When I put the phone in its case on the wireless charger, the phone apparently thinks I am holding it. It turns the display on as if I had picked it up. After a few seconds, the display goes off again. Then after a few more seconds it goes on again. And so on. All night. I keep it next to my bed. Very annoying but there is a workaround. I put a piece of cardboard over it. Problem solved. 3. For a while, it was difficult to "swipe down" from the top of the screen as required to get to settings, etc. I have now learned to hold two fingers at the top of the screen for a couple of seconds and then swipe down. This usually works. But I have decided that I like this case a lot. It looks like it will protect the phone well and it is waterproof.

*** Update *** After 10 months of using this case, I think its more than just to re-review it. First of all, I want to frankly make justice to the case manufacturers. The case is really sturdy and it really is IP68 rated (dipped my phone in beer for 5 minutes-don't ask, took it out, towel dried it, and business as usual). It is a sturdy, water resistant case, and it really protects the phone. The "Edge" feature was kind of hard to use at the beginning, but after a while, got the hang of it. So it took some time for me to get used to the case, but I got something in return that was what I really wanted - PROTECTION FOR MY CELL PHONE. My phone is really well protected. And since I work in an industrial environment, this is a must for me. Also I have to note that the case kind of scratched lightly the phone in the lower back side. It doesn't bother me at all, but since I am re-reviewing it, I must mention it. I don't know how, but dust keeps getting inside. How comes something is water resistant, but not dust-resistant? Still wondering. I am buying myself the case again. The little flap to open the usb port cover broke, making it a real pain to open and access the usb port. But it is still sealing water tight the usb port, thus protecting the phone. Give a little, get a lot, that is what is with this case... ______ This case makes it so difficult to use the phone, specially when using pull down menus (has to make sure youngot ahold of the item before pulling down) and in the case of the S8, the Edge feature is practically impossible to use with this cover.

Its a little too big, and the charging port hole is too small. It pretty much does what it says on the box. Life proof case is better but costs 3 times as much.

Great job

The best protection, should have been a trojan brand product. Tested in the ocean (salt water) while playing music n taking pics. Waterproofing yet allows sound through for music. In a conversation I have mixed reviews for sound quality in hearing me from people I speak with. If you use headphones, problem solved

Excelente

I'm a Civil Construction Foreman and keep my phone which I use often for work in my vest pocket and my number one issue has always been sand getting under the case and scratching my phone. My phone has been in an Otter Box since day one whech is an awesome case for drops but not sand and dust. My phone looks like its 50 years old all scratched along the edges and there was nothing I could do about it. I finally decided to try a waterproof case because if it can stop water it can stop sand but I always heard you can't hear the ringer through them or the microphone.. with this case it is not true.. for $20 it is honestly comparable to a life proof or punkcase which sell for 4-5x the money. The front screen protector is tight to screen there's no air gap or clicking sound when you type its rugged and very nice looking.. when I finally decide to upgrade to a newer Samsung I will be buying this case. Great Product.
