Adamark Galaxy A8 2018 Case, Galaxy A8 Plus 2018 Cover Slim Fit PC Shell Bumper Anti-Scratch Thin Hard Cover Shockproof Protective Case For Samsung Galaxy A8/A8 Plus 2018

Being delivered from China to the UK, the item did, of course, take around 2 weeks to arrive, but did so in accordance with the dates listed by Amazon on this item's page, so no complaints there; I ordered on 26 Nov 2018, Amazon stated that the item would arrive no later then 11 Dec 2018, and I received the item on 8 Dec 2018.The item that I received is slightly different from the one that is pictured:• there is a bridge separating the hole for the camera from the hole for the fingerprint sensor, but I consider this a benefit, as it makes you less likely to rub your grimy fingers over the camera lens when reaching for the fingerprint sensor; and• the hole for the loudspeaker is actually a series of holes for each speaker grille, but these align perfectly, so again, no issues there — speaker sound is not negatively affected by the design.The slots that can be seen on the bottom corners of the case are not, as I imagined, to allow the phone's antenna band to poke through, but instead to allow the case to flex enough that it can snap on to and off of the phone, as it is a rigid polycarbonate case (not a flexible one). The phone's antenna bands are obscured by the case, but I haven't noticed any degradation in cellular signal, which can probably be attributed to the case only being 1–3 mm thick.My only gripe about the case is that it has no real lip over the screen (contrary to what I had imagined), so that if the phone is placed face-down onto a flat surface such as a table, the screen still touches the surface. However, the camera and fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone are inset; there is a lip there. As such, while the case offers protection if the phone is dropped from a height onto its back, there is no such protection if the phone is dropped onto its front (the screen side), and so I will be buying a screen protector to use in conjunction with this case to avoid the screen being scratched when placed onto tables and such. Funnily enough, the fact that there is no lip will likely mean that a screen protector will not interfere with the snug fit of this case.Overall, well worth the £8.66 that I paid for it, happy with the purchase.EDIT: I never got a screen protector and the phone has fared just fine through many drops over the 3+ years I've now owned it, thanks to its Corning Gorilla Glass 4. Additionally, after about 30 months, the case started to suffer from some cracking near the bottom, where it flexes when put on and removed from the phone, as well as the tab that covers the sleep/wake/power button snapping off, but this doesn't surprise me; simply due to age.

Really smart and comfortable to use but does scratch up a bit.

Did not appreciate this item did not offer back AND front protection- my mistake

Would be better protection if it was softer. Looks good. Good colour and feel

Nice fit

Does not protect side of phone well

Great

Great buy
