Samsung Galaxy S8 Case vCommute

Awesome case. Have had no issues other than wireless charging which I wasn’t expecting to work. Samsung Pay works fine with it (used it at over 20 different places already, with about 5 of them not working but probably not because of the case). Can hold my driver’s license, debit/credit card, and an insurance card (very slim plastic cards). Couldn’t squeeze in another insurance card, so 3 seems to be the max. Though at 3 cards it feels too tight, so I usually just have my driver’s license and debit card in there as they’re easy to take out and put back in with just those 2 cards. Also, it feels really good opening and shutting this magnetic door flap thing. Has a nice sound as it shuts too. You’ll probably find yourself messing with it sometimes as you’re waiting to get your card back. I haven’t dropped my phone yet so I can’t comment on how well it protects it. I’m not using any screen protector either. The kickstand function works well. I tried to get it to stand horizontally with it to see if that works, but didn’t do so great (falls eventually if not right away). Overall really great case and I went from carrying a phone, keys, and slim wallet to just carrying my phone and keys. Would definitely recommend.

This comfortably holds 3 cards, but you can squeeze 4 in a pinch. It helps if your card(s) is the newer style without protruding numbers on the front. I usually carry 1 ID, 1 older card, and 1 newer style card. Another HUGE plus is security. People have no clue this is a wallet case, so even if it gets stolen, they likely won’t even notice they also stole your credit cards so they won’t use them. I’ve had this case for 3 different phones. This case has become a requirement. I’ve tried other wallet cases, but this is the most functional. Adding/removing cards is super simple. The Galaxy S8 has that curved screen edge so the sides of the case are a little lower on the left and right sides. They stick up more on the top and bottom, so the screen doesn’t touch when face-down on a table. The leather flap extends past the side bit more than previous models. This makes it even easier to open the flap. It’s mainly a good thing. The only downside is that it protrudes a bit past the side of the case. The fingerprint reader (near the camera) is a little difficult to use with the case, but I never use it anyway so I don’t care. ....now if I can just fix my Chapstick addiction, I will be down to only 1 item in my pockets.

I read all the comments before making this purchase. I am a wallet case carrier for several years. I thought I would try this case since I had purchased another wallet case but had to send it back. Well I absolutely love this case. Reviews said it is HEAVY. Yes, it is heavy if you aren’t used to carrying a wallet case, but the case is no thicker or heavier than wallet cases that I had used. MUST: You definitely need to order a tempered glass screen protector for your phone. CARD SLOT (Leather flap has STRONG magnet): One comment on putting your cards in the slot provided are that the cards are not meant to be shoved all the way into the slot. Meaning to the opposite side of the phone. I did that and then I had a hard time getting them out. I have 3 cards (2 with raised letters, 1 w/o) and my driver’s licence which I faced upright and with the top side of the card going in first. That way you don’t have to remove your license when showing your ID. Ingenious! I also have a small cloth to clean the screen. OCD kicking in. No bulge and fits nicely. Easy to remove the cards if you use your thumb or finger in the small cut out provided and just a little push down and slide. The cards just pop right out. CAMERA: The cutout for the camera and flash are very substantial. It would be difficult to break any part of those pieces. As far as picture quality, There is no affect whatsoever. I like that the entire phone is encased for protection and that no one knows that you are carrying cards, cash, etc. I haven’t dropped it yet, but I am confident that it would survive a drop or at least I’m hoping. For those of you that have used a case only, you will find this heavy, but the trade off of having a place for cards and cash is well worth it. I have only had this case for 2 days couldn’t be happier. There were some concerns about the lip of the case on the screen side and I can see that it could be a little higher. I am now interested in purchasing the magnet that fits in the CD player slot that will hold my phone in the car. I’m still reading comments on that.
