Clayco Xenon Series Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 9 (2018 Release), Full-Body Rugged Case with Built-in 3D Curved Screen Protector (Black)

(First review on a product so bare with me) I've had this case since December of 2018 and I honestly this is the best case I've ever gotten for a phone. -It's incredibly durable! I'm pretty clumsy, so I cant tell you the amount of times I've dropped my phones before, but I'm never worried if I cracked the screen after buying this case. Actually, when I was working over the summer in 2019, I would play catch using my phone with my coworkers because of how confident I am that it wouldnt break. Hindsight, it's not something anyone should really do, but this case really does give me that confidence that not a lot of people have when they drop their phone from say off their bed, let alone playing catch and it falling to the ground with a fast velocity. -Screen protector has light scratches (for obvious reasons) that are noticeable when the screen is off and the light reflects it and 2 cracks that I would say is noticeable when on, but easy to ignore because they're small strokes. Considering how long I've had this case, and the abuse I put it through, that's not bad at all. -Buttons are covered, but the ports arent so dont try to dip your phone in water or anything. -I lost my s pen sometime after getting the case. Not the case's fault, more so mine for dropping the phone and not noticing it fall out, so I cant tell you much about how well the s pen slides across the screen. I can say though from what I remember, s pen still works fine with the screen protector on. -I saw one of the reviews complaining about the "glossiness" of the screen protector, that it never looks clean, but I dont think that's really relevant if you're just looking to have a good case that wont break on you. For me, I havent really noticed if my screen "looks dirty", I think it's pretty fine for what it is. -The case is a little bit bulky but that's what youd expect from a heavily protective phone case. If you wear women's jeans that have pockets, it definitely sticks out, and could fall out if you run, so I'd recommend putting it somewhere safe where it wont easily fall out or could be stolen. I think for men's jeans it's tall enough to stick out. It's also likely to fall out of a hoodie when you're running. Definitely has happened to me a couple times (without a scratch might I add!) Overall: if you're looking for a good, durable case that can last you a long time, I'd recommend Clayco's. It's high quality despite it being so cheap for a Samsung case! :)

Amazing product. I tried 5 different cases before this one and I can definetely day this one takes the crown. Reasons? First, NO DUST gets in to the case. This is a huge thing to me because I am very picky when it comes to trash or dust on my screen and not being able to whipe it off. The case is so sealed and the plastic screen protector fits so perfect that no dust comes in. Secondly, the feeling is awesome. It does feels a bit bulky but at the same time great for a full body case. Lastly, the durability and protection that it offers is insane. I've got my phone dropped, around water, around food, around dirt, and the case is still looking as sharp as the first day. Note: I see a lot of people complaining about the pen and, while it is definetely harder to take it out compared to other cases, it is not any harder than any other full body case. I've had 3 other full body cases and they all have the same difficulty to take the pen out as this one, and it isn't even that bad to be honest, you just need to find the trick and you'll be able to take it out every time with no trouble.

UPDATE: I bought this case once before and returned it because it was not as described (see original review below) and re-ordered what I had been using - a Speck presidio case and Zagg invisible shield glass curve elite screen protector. For some reason, I could not get the screen protector to install without bubbles! I bought 2 and took the other to the phone store and they couldn't get it to install correctly either! I got a replacement for them from Amazon thinking I got a defective batch. NOPE. Same issue with the 1st replacement so I said forget it and bought this case again. The screen protector front snaps on so easily and there are no bubbles or other issues. The back/case part is nice and smooth - a little thicker than the Speck but that's to be expected since it covers the whole phone not just the back. Grip feels nice and the whole package is nice and sleek. It's a great case and I'm glad I bought it again. I can't give 5 stars because it really isn't as described. There's no avoiding it - the front frame/screen protector part is GRAY not black, but I got over it. It's solid, sleek, comprehensive protection and a great value for the quality. I'm glad I bought it but I still wish it was all black 😆 You won't regret buying it! ORIGINAL REVIEW: The front frame that I received is not black. Cannot tell if I received the wrong thing or if the picture on the listing is misleading. Black back case seems nice and comparable to the speck case I was planning to replace this with. Front is grey plastic, not as nice as tempered glass but seems well made and sturdy enough. Very disappointed but definitely returning because it wasn't what was pictured. I definitely would have kept and used it if it was black like pictured.

I received the phone case in the mail yesterday. Installation was really simple. You put the phone into the screen cover and make sure the edges are wrapped around the phone completely. Next, do just as the instructions tell you to do and insert that into the back cover portion of the phone case, then work the sides up and over the phone and cover. When you're done, you'll have a really secure cover with a lot of protection built into the sides and corners. If you're having a problem with the installation, you probably didn't try wrapping the sides of the cover around the phone initially. It's designed with a tight fit for protection, so go back to your technique and see what you've done wrong. Fingerprint sensitivity was great. No issues at all. The side buttons worked great.

Love the plum color & the feel of the case. I'm sure it will be durable! It was easy to install. I'm very pleased!

So in love with this phone case! I purchased it after having a bad experience with a different option on Amazon. This is one of the best, if not the best 360 Galaxy Note 9 cases I have found! The price is perfect, the quality and smooth, sleek, and soft feeling of the case's backing is phenomenal! I especially like the durability of the built in screen protector. Unlike other 360 cases I have purchased, this screen protector is more durable and of a higher quality then others. I can access all options on my touch screen and no keys stick! Does not scratch or scuff up easily. I am a clutz and very hard on my ohone cases, and drop my phone atleast once a day, but have not had any damage to the case, nevermind the phone! Very pleased with my purchase and will buy the exact case again, just maybe in a different color to switch it up!

This is a well made perfect-fitting and good-looking case. The back is a soft-touch plastic that feels nice, resists dings and scratches and is easily cleaned. The front screen protector is perfect fitting and very touch sensitive. Although the front plastic cover doesn't seem like it will hold up to things that may scratch or mark it, but it is very good protection for the device screen. I think you'll need to be careful with it. Take note that I am VERY picky with my device protection. I'm overall pretty happy with this case... took a long time to decide which to buy since there are so many. Only negative is that this one as with all these phone cases are way too expensive for what they are. None of these phone cases should be cost more than 10-15 dollars at most.

Pros: It fits very snugly. It fits accurately - all of the cutouts except the S-Pen cutout are centered over the corresponding phone feature. All of the buttons work perfectly. The phone has been dropped about 4 times now since I put the case on it, and I don't see any chips, dents, or significant scratches on the case. (I haven't taken the case off since the drops occurred, but I'm assuming that the phone too has suffered no damage.) Touch screen works perfectly. Cons: The cutout for the S-Pen...well, it's hard to describe. Let's just say that the opening is small enough that it is hard to put enough pressure on the pen to get it to release from the phone, and once you do get it to release, you have to rotate your wrist about 90 degrees either up or down from the neutral (with your palm facing the center of your body) position so that you can curl one of your fingers or your thumb up from he back side of the phone, then hook your nail under the pen it so that you can pull the pen out. Obviously that's not impossible, but it is awkward. It is also difficult to put enough pressure on the S-Pen to lock it back into the phone. I have to say that the case is not S-Pen friendly. Also good to know: To use the Smart Switch data transfer from your old phone to your new Note9 VIA CABLE, you must use an adapter that comes with your phone. This adapter will NOT plug into the Note9 with this case on - the adapter won't fit in the cutout. And the case is hard to remove! So either be sure to do the Smart Switch before you put the case on, or do it wirelessly. Also, I have seen some rainbowing on the screen, and I know that bothers some people. To summarize, the case seems to be providing good protection, but only adequate accessibility. Edit 12/2019: The glass screen protector has a LOT of scratches all over it. I don't store my phone with hard sharp things that I'd expect would scratch it, like keys or coins, so I don't know what's caused this. Particles and dust work their way under the screen protector too, and since the case is so hard to remove, it's a pain to clean under there.
