There is a twelve month manufacturer warranty on each case.

Review: Solid Case. Nice Color. - This is a great case. To me, the look is very unique and I have not seen another case like it. The green color looks great. I was a bit worried it would look too dark as the phone is a dark grey and the case is semi transparent, but the color holds up well. The case is also slim, so the phone remains nearly as small as it is caseless. The case fits the S8 snugly, but not so tight that it would be hard to take off if you need to. All of the side buttons feel good. They take a bit more force to press than they do with no case, but I personally like that. It took a bit of getting used to the fingerprint sensor opening on the back, because of the grooves and textures around it feeling so similar. But after a week, or so it becomes muscle memory and is not an issue. Wireless charging still works with this case on and the phone slides in and out of pockets very easily while still having enough grip on the sides to not slide off of your lap. The most important part of a case is whether, or not it protects the phone. I have had this phone and case for just over a month and it has sustained a handful of falls with no damage whatsoever. I understand that isn't a long time to judge though. However, I had this same style case from UAG on my old Galaxy S6 for around two years and the phone still looked almost new when I took the case off. Overall, I would highly recommend this case. If the only danger you put your phone in is an occasional drop, this case should be plenty of protection while still looking good and keeping your phone non-bulky.
Review: Fits my phone - I found it very difficult to shop for a case for my new-to-me Galaxy S8. I was concerned about counterfeits and durability. When I found the UAG storefront (here on desertcart), I was happy, but it turns out they only had one color left (unless I wanted to buy from a different seller, which is oh-so-easy to do on desertcart without even realizing it). I wasn't a big fan of Citron, but if I wanted UAG directly from UAG, then that was my only choice (no more S8 cases on their website). Anyway... Citron is fine, it's a color I might choose for other things and since it's only on the back of my phone, I don't have to look at it all the time anyway. It fits my phone perfectly. I haven't added a screen protector yet, so not sure how it will work with that. I loved my naked phone and it's not so sleek and lovely in the case, but the upside is: it's easier to hold and not feel like I'm going to drop it. I was surprised that there wasn't anything covering the holes (headphone, charging port, speaker...). The description doesn't say that it covers the holes, but I just thought it should because that's an important thing to protect unless you live in a dust-free world. So, I'll need to get plugs for those, though I'm out of luck for the speaker I guess, though that would probably be more trouble than it's worth. I didn't want a full-on spacesuit for a case because I really love the curved screen and I was also concerned about touchscreen ease of use, also what about the camera with a full-on spacesuit case? seems like it would get in the way. I hope I never have this particular case tested for durability because I'd hate to learn it's not as durable as I hope it is, but someday I will probably drop it and I hope it falls in a way that this case will protect it. The corners are raised so I can place it upside down on a tabletop if I wanted to not look at the screen or have it go into no-notification mode and have my pretty screen be protected from the table yuckiness. But since it's only the corners, the lovely curved edges are still visible and I can swipe them easily. The camera, fingerprint reader and flash/heartbeat monitor on the back are all easily visible and useable. Though, since I've had the case on it doesn't read one of my fingerprints very well (I have 2 of my fingers set up), the second finger is easily read, but unfortunately it's the finger that's less easy to put on the reader most of the time. My backup has become my primary. People expect 5 stars to mean you like it well enough, so that's why I gave it 5 stars, but really, if everybody thought like me I'd give it probably 3.5 stars because it's not perfect and it's annoying that UAG is no longer (apparently) making new cases for the S8 so I had to get a color I didn't prefer. I'd love some sort of protection for the ports, too. Also, why can't they make it pretty? I would totally trust a pretty/frilly case from UAG, it doesn't have to look like a piece of military equipment to be effective (or for it to be believed as effective). TL;DR Nice case, especially if you can find a color you like from a reputable seller. Can't speak to durability because I haven't dropped my phone yet.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a durability difference between the Pathfinder and Plasma series?**
A: Hi there, both cases have been equally tested for durability. Although the Pathfinder is made with a harder shell that would offer a little more protection against bends. We hope this helps!

**Q: wich screen protector fit with it?**
A: Hi Cedric, we cannot recommend a screen protector since none are officially compatible.

**Q: Is a screen protector needed?**
A: Hi there! The case offers 360 degree drop protection from heights of 48 inches or less. However, the case does not protect the touch screen from smudges and scratches.

**Q: It shows 2 different cases in black. Which one do you get?**
A: Hi there! This case is only available in one shade of Black.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing case that minimizes added bulk!
*by T***. on May 7, 2017*

Love this case. I got it for my S8 because i had bought a UAG case for my IPad Pro 9.7 and loved that one. The Plastic on the back is slick, but because of the indents you can really keep a grip on the phone. The cut out on the back helps to guide you to the finger print sensor and hasn't negatively affected my pictures. The trim around the bezel and corners feels like a soft Plastic or hard rubber. It has flex to it with a little grip. It isn't tacky, but more bite than the glass on the phone. There are ridges on the sides and buttons to keep the phone in your hand and Pocket. The only time I've ever dropped a phone was getti g out of my car and my phone fell out of shorts or hoodie pockets. Cut outs are big enough to fit cables through. I also love that this case doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone either. The phone still feels slim in the hand. The phone comes out of the case easily enough. It's not so Tight that you think you are going to breakouts phone, but not so loose that you feel like it's going to send your phone flying out of it if you drop it. I'm really happy with my purchase and will continue to buy UAG products in the future and recomme d them to anyone. My only grip is the relief area where the UAG emblem is. It makes it difficult to put my phone in my iottie car mount. Its just deep enough to not hit the button that lets the mount's arms clamp down on the phone.
