Best Galaxy S9/ S9+ Cases! Minimal, protective, rugged, stylish!

[@IndyGuy65]

Josh I had marked this video watch later and I got my S9+ today. Thanks for the advice on some great cases.

[@MrYughurta]

Hi, do you think it's worth to buy the s9 plus in 2020?

[@kevmachinexx]

@@MrYughurta just bought a used one last night for 400 canadian unlocked. upgraded from a s7. only thing is its bigger and heavier so it will take some getting use too but I love it.

[@johnnylira3312]

We'll make it simple: Max protection but slim: RhinoShield (excellent on concrete) Max Protection with bulk: Otterbox defender (excellent on concrete) Protection with grip: Tech 21 Best Wallet Case: Tech 21 Best Case For Underwater (salt or chlorine) LifeProof (but its bad on drops on concrete) Screen Protection: You don't need it. Gorilla Glass 5 all you need. Only if you get turned on by face planting your phone on rocks, then Tech 21 bullet shield screen protector. Boom!!!!

OK...so after seeing this reveiw I decided to give the UAG monarch case another look. The UAG has better buttons, better protection for the back, better look and the bottom is cut slim so I can plug in my type C to USB adapter without removing my case. Because of this review...I switched to the UAG monarch. I love my tech21 but I like the UAG more.

[@BaneTech]

Thanks for the feedback!

Interesting fact otterbox bought out lifeproof so they are the same company now

[@youssefflis7913]

I like the defender case its so rugged and protective you're not gonna worry about your phone when you drop it

[@BenjaminLee2009]

Most protective phone case brands, with 1 being the most protective. 1. Otterbox 2. UAG 3. Spigen If you disagree, you can rearrange the order or put in some other case brands. I had a Note 4 from Samsung, been using it with a UAG case since day 1 and 4 years later I took it out and it looks brand spanking new. I'm using a UAG with my LG G7 right now as we speak.

I got to catch a 10 deal for an otterbox symmetry case on Amazon for the s6 (i know its super old, my s9 should be here this week) but it was super amazing, super protective and i have dropped it...thrown it and raged with it and nothing has ever happened to the phone

[@numberonefamilyman]

Spigen is number 1 in my book. Great protection for the money and not over done like Otter. UAG 2.

[@Sdancefear]

The supcase beetle unicorn with the port protector is what I use all the time when I'm out working with the elements.

[@elizabethwolfgang4017]

I just updated from a g4 to a gs9 phone. I purchased an otterbox again because my g4 seriously still looked new. I'd take the case off a couple times per year to clean out dust & such as needed, I carried mine in side pockets & used at work which was a dirty environment. The dust protectors held up till late 2018. The case & ph were about 5 ish years old. Otterbox did really great for drop protection as well.

[@BaneTech]

Nice!

[@g-man4582]

I have the last one. Otter box defender. If you love your phone....THIS IS THE ONE TO GET. PROTECTS LIKE A TANK WITH ARMOR.

[@ThomasCollectables]

I kinda like the idea of having multiple cases for my phone and changing them when i get bored, but I never buy any more lol. (daily driving a Galaxy S9 atm)

[@BaneTech]

I'm the same way. I have one main one and a couple on standby when I want to change it up.

[@ThomasCollectables]

@@BaneTech nice idea!

[@TCFan30]

The Supcase and Iblazon look like the perfect contenders. Owned Otterbox Defenders and Lifeproofs, but Ottbx dont make screen protectors for the S9s anymore which is a deal breaker. And I'm certainly not keen paying $100+ for a lifeproof either anymore as it doesn't get dropped in puddles, mud, snow and all that xtreme crap. All I needed was good drop protection and to stop my screen getting dirty. Thanks heaps for the review!

[@BaneTech]

[@tonyluzzi6502]

Just got a S9+ and got the official Samsung Rugged Case. It has a kickstand and textured back. But one thing you didn't mention and I'm sure would be hard to test for all those cases would be Usability with Charging Stands.

[@plumboss9764]

Thank you, I've always used the defender, and was looking at getting something with the built-in screen protector witch defender usually has, seeing comparison of others revitalized the defender but the i-buprofen is new to me, lol! Great review.

[@KiranTaker270]

i would avoid the supcase with built in screen protector as the holster's clip is very flimsy and i had to buy many as it was thre only holster case with a built in screen protector on the market at the time

[@whatluck1508]

with the otterbox defender you need to be careful of what screen protector you get, it may not stay on, like it would look like its fine but it can peal the screen protector up

[@nealfrost12]

Otter box is the way to go, i think so

[@rt-ik7ik]

In the settings you can change the sensitivity of the touchscreen, which is done for when you add a screenprotector. Don't know if you had it on already or not?

[@rt-ik7ik]

No, I meant: with the Galaxy S9 phone you can go to settings - advanced settings - touch screen sensitivity. Switch that on and the phone increases the sensitivity to touch with your fingers. So if you have a screen protector and you notice it messes with the touchscreen, just turn that on and the phone will be more sensitive to your touch. I will check out the orange peel as screenprotector though, thanks!

[@ForwardBias]

Can you actually explain why you think the tempered glass protectors are junk?

[@ForwardBias]

Not all of the tempered glass covers do this now though... Have you heard of Whitestone Dome? From what I've read, it's really good tempered glass. full adhesive across the entire screen. oleophobic glass, and compatible with a lot of the (newer) cases (like the otterbox defender). None of those problems you've listed either :)

[@ForwardBias]

Ohhh I gotcha. I decided to go with the Otterbox Pursuit for my s9+ if your'e interested in that. So far it's a really good case (though a little more costly) I like the clear back to show off my phone color. Supposedly stronger than the defender series, but also thinner and lighter + lanyard option. Going to pair it with the Dome since most say it is compatible.

[@AbstraktZ]

@@ForwardBias How's the case 5 months later?

[@sraisaac]

Thanks Josh for all the info. Helped me make a decision. I got the iblason full body with screen protector built in and I must say that it scratches easily. Just from a few hours in my pocket it is scratched all to hell. What kind of screen protector do you use?

[@Debbiethediycraftygirl]

I would never use any other case except an.otterbox defender series with a built in screen protector I have.a note 5 that I use an otterbox defender series on it now

[@deadlybladesmith3093]

DO NOT buy the I-blason built in screen protecter case. I have it, and the front scratches extremely easily. My fingernail scratched it. I would not reccomend. Had to buy a new one after a month. I'm rocking my old Mous bamboo case right now. Works great.

did the unicorn clear case fit in the pro holster too? or are the holster only for the pro front covered case?

[@jonathancruz5083]

Hey, thought ud know but, double screen protection messes with responsiveness. You not wanting to take off your screen protector to try the unicorn beetle case was just pure laziness. to sit there and say that the screen protector will stick on the screen and isn't as responsive, is only because of the screen protector that you already have on your phone. I know this because I have that unicorn beetle case. And I don't experience any of that sticky screen problem.

[@BaneTech]

Not sure laziness at all. I'm spending the extra money to go through screen protectors like that. In my experience any time there is a built in screen protector on a case with or without another screen protector there is the stickiness.
