My Favorite Case Company

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2017

I purchased two of these for my wife and I, and we are both very happy overall. The texture on the back is my favorite of any case I have ever used. It feels very secure and non-slippery in the hand, and looks very attractive as well. The dual layers allow the case to be slim, while also offering plenty of protection against drops and falls. I used a Caseology case on my S7 Edge for about a year, and it was the same design. I never got any cracks or scratches, so was happy to see this design was available for the S8 Plus. I will say that my wife and I both take very good care of our phones. If your job puts your phone at risk, or you tend to drop it or abuse it, you may want to look at one of the thicker, more protective cases. I don't put my phone in my pocket with metal such as keys or coins, and generally only drop it once a month or so.

I hope this review helps you. There are certainly brands that are more well known, and I've tried quite a few of them. Caseology has quickly become my favorite since 2015 though, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their cases to others.

Good for the price, not very protective

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017

I have had this case since the galaxy s8+ first came out. I loved the design and colors especially for the price, very easy to grip and does not slip or slide out of my hand. However after about 3 months of use I dropped my phone on my driveway when pulling the phone out of my pocket causing two cracks across my screen. Since a majority of the case is softer plastic I believe that when the phone fell the case moved slightly out of position causing the phone to land on the curved screens edge. Also the finish on the hard plastic liner is fading/chipping away on the bottom corners of the case probably from my palm coming in contact with my phone when I hold it. Nice case for the price but I would not trust it for serious drops.

Awesome case, HIGHLY recommend (just your average consumer on Amazon)

I love Caseology products and this case, Burgundy Parallax Series, exceeds my expectations. I love the fact that it has raised buttons separate from the phones, and lovely stream-lined look. Burgundy and Gold combo looks great (even though my original S8 + is silver, this case transforms it with no evidence of the silver being present). I replaced this with a "clear case" and so glad I did. My only concern in giving up the Note 7 (before it blew up) was to give up a Caseology case that held it) but so glad that I "got it back" with a very similar case. It's smart and attractive and feel confident in terms of safety with this brand, phone feels very protected and safe. Love the fact that it is also so stream-lined and thin, and the burgundy rubber-esk case provides no slip when holding the phone, added protection from falls. Highly recommend you getting one without hesitation.

Perfectly Pretty

I've only had this case on my new s8 plus for a few hours, but so far, I love it. I would definitely say it's more of a "pretty" than a heavy-duty case, so if you're wanting hardcore drop protection, I don't think this is the case for you.

However, if you're looking for something stylish to give your otherwise insanely slippery phone more grip and protect it from minor drops, then I highly recommend this case. I have the orchid gray phone and burgundy and rose gold case. The two look surprisingly gorgeous together. I feel much better knowing I can hold onto my phone without it slipping out of my hands so easily. I also recommend the Zagg HD screen protector (not the glass one, but the HD film). It fits perfectly with the case and is the thickest and highest-quality film I've used.

Solid Construction Never Looked So Good

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017

Excellent case made the right way: slim design without any angular breaks and includes a nice textured finish on back. Immediately felt solid and protected once my S8 Plus was loaded. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that it hasn't been tested for fall protection (which hopefully I don't get to discover but am confident it can take some hits). I researched other cases but found this one to have the best aesthetics that also feels military grade without the added bulk. Matte finish throughout with subtle grip tread that makes it secure in hand and not a fingerprint magnet. Thanks Caseology, I'll definitely be buying more for other phones.

Saved my brand new phone from waist-high fall!

I use this case and have Liquid Armor screen protection applied front and back to my phone. And thank goodness I did because I dropped my phone today. Missed my pocket (!) And down goes the phone at mach speed onto concrete, face first. I was terrified that I'd ruined the phone screen (only 3 weeks after buying, of course) but I picked it up and brushed it off... And not a scratch. Not. One. Not even on the case!

I am so impressed and happy with this case. I can't recommend it enough. I also recommend using a liquid screen protector in conjunction, just in case, but honestly I think the case took the brunt of the fall and worked exactly as promised. Fantastic.

This is my second Caseology case (previous was for LG G3) and I loved both of them and will definitely continue to use Caseology for cases in the future.

It has a great feel in my hand, is a beautiful color, is easy to put on and take off the phone, fits in my car bracket perfectly, and saved my phone. Win!

Two years later...

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2019

Color: Black/Orchid GrayVerified Purchase

So, I first bought this case August 2017. I did a lot of research on what cases work well and decided on this particular one. I was very worried about how most cases dont seem to cover all of the edge of the screen for the curved screens at the time, and that was my biggest worry with this little guy as well.

Two years later and many drops; can safely say this has been a great investment. Drops down small flights of stairs, car hoods, and even from my bicycle in motion. The case is very thin and light, and at a glance seems like it wouldn't do much. But the use of rubber in the right areas protects from shock, and the hard edges protect from dings and cracks. Despite appearances it seems like a good chunk of thought went into keeping bulk down while serving to actually protect the phone. During the worst falls the hard edges of the case frame cracked and broke, but the phone was fine. When I kept the pieces they snapped back in fine and could be glued together to return to tip-top shape to survive yet more falls.

As you can see two years later it has more or less given up the ghost. My case is dead now that I lost pieces of the frame and it won't do much good. But that seems reasonable after daily abuse... On the other hand, the five other members of my family got the same phone and different cases at the same time. My phone is the only one that doesnt have so much as a crack, scratch or ding. Did the case break? Yes, but my phone didn't. Cases should be seen as disposable items, like a helmet. With a bad enough accident you replace it and be thankful it did the intended job. Instead of a $50+ repair or $300+ new phone, two years later I'm buying the same $10+ case again instead, phone intact.

Thanks for having my back, Caseology. Hope the next one saves my phone just as much as the last.

Just got this baby and put it on my phone. I really like it! It has a great look to it with the matte finishes and pattern on the back. It has a great feel with ridges on the sides for enhanced grippyness, and the textured back. The case does not in any way make it harder to get out of my pocket, which is a very important criteria for a case. All of the buttons line up with the phone and work flawlessly.

Beautiful design, but not the best.

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019

I recently bought one of these to replace a Spigen Neo Hybrid that finally started showing signs of heavy wear after nearly 2 years of hard use and numerous drops. The Neo Hybrid is great, but I thought i'd give a similar case from another respected brand a try.

The Caseology Parallax has a slightly slimmer profile and a textured grip, which compare favorably to the Spigen Neo Hybrid. However, the big downside for me is that the 3.5 mm audio port cutout is much smaller, which means it is only compatible with straight, narrow 3.5 mm plugs. Many angled or thick plugs don't work with the case, including my favorite headphones. Also, the material is slightly softer and seems less durable than my old case.

I still like the hybrid material design, and I believe you won't go wrong with this case, but make sure it is compatible with your accessories!

Easy to install, adds very little weight or width to the phone while offering very good drop protection. Highly recommend Caseology products.
