Been considering a Note 10+ and was wondering about kickstand cases. Another review caught the Poetic had space below volume buttons. Should consider Spigen and Samsung case as well. Looks like UB wins out of them all. Rounded corners, pocketable and pronounced buttons, with good angle, followed by ArmadilloTek and Spigen (but kickstand on wrong side so always have to pick up phone in order to adjust. Thanks for the review. Great comparison.

Exactly the video I needed for the galaxy s20. I hope all these points are still applicable since it helped my choice to stay with Supcase. I've used them for my galaxy s5 and s8+ (still using the same case for 3.5 years) with no issues but recently saw reviews of the s20 version cracking from drops. I hesitated about getting it for the s20. After this great review I think I'll stick with Supcase. Reasons: Rounded corners and larger raised angle at top and bottom. From experience with dropping phones all the time, I found the rounded corners help roll the phone to a softer fall once it hits a surface. Thankfully, I've never had a phone crack while in my Supcase. The raised top and bottom also help prevent and protects the screen from coming into contact with a surface during or after a fall.

This is a great video. I appreciate many of the things that have already been noted in other comments. It's great to see a focused, side-by-side comparison of these three similar cases, and you've gone beyond just listing the stats of each to discuss how those affect actual use. Some people may want a phone that's easier to slip in and out of a pocket, while other people may prefer a grippier, "stickier" model, etc. And I like that you presented both facts as well as your opinions and preferences, and made it clear which were which. (Different kickstand angles - fact. Which is better for your purposes - opinion.) In short, if I were reviewing reviews, I'd give this video top marks. Just one question - did you notice any difference in the useability of the phone's touchscreen in the different cases? I'm not sure if that's different for different models of phones, but I've seen a few reviews saying certain cases covered so much of the screen edge that it affected swiping and controls.
@ContractorsPOV

I appreciate the compliment and thank you for watching. As for the case interfering with the screen, I have found that some will have issues using the swipe up ^ gesture and at times, if you use the edge panels, it would be hard to swipe out to reveal the panel. They are getting much better though. The newer cases have less effects on swiping from the edge or bottom. I hope that answers your question.

These 3 companies I trust to make cases. OtterBox was good when they didn't have competitors in the rugged case market, but these brands are cheaper, and the TPU doesn't get ruined over time like the OtterBox Defender series, and doesn't stick as much in your pocket. The current rugged cases make OtterBox obsolete.

Bravo! OtterBox is a good case for about 2 weeks, then it becomes increasingly bad because of the rubber. They have been in business long enough that they should have improved their formula long ago. The newer cases are simply just made better and they use better materials.

I hesitate to do so because of cost. Supcase and ArmadilloTek can be had for around $20 - $25 and OtterBox starts at $45 minimum. Also, Supcase and ArmadilloTek have hybrid type cases that are a combination of hard plastic and rubber. OtterBox is a hard plastic shell covered with silicone rubber that usually tends to fall apart or get loose in the sun. At room temperature the OtterBox does fine, but work with it in the sun and it falls apart.

Appreciate your review, I'm stuck between Aramdillotek and Supcase, leaning toward the Armadillotek Vanguard currently. I've seen multiple reviews about the supcase breaking at the corners from a mild drop which has me shying away, also I don't need the holster, just the kickstand, else it'd be otterbox 100% but their finger is far from the pulse on that. Word to hard use guys after seeing your torn screen protector, when you carry your phone in your pocket, always keep the screen against your thigh so that the hard case is all that will take an impact to your pocket area. This method has never failed me, phone also rides alone in the pocket, ALWAYS. Should something be able to affect your screen through your thigh when carrying in this manner, you've probably got bigger things to worry about than a scratched screen anyway 🤪.

One of my employees dropped his iPhone 11 off a lift the other day and the Supcase did break the corner, but it was at least 20 feet up in the air and he had the case for 6 months. Also, when I got my screen scratched, the phone was in my back pocket because I was climbing over a duct and a piece of all-thread went in my pocket and stuck my phone 😂 Total fluke! I do like the ArmadilloTec if you're going to pocket it.

@@ContractorsPOVI think the difficulty in comparing the cases for one phone vs the others here is that the Samsungs have the unique rounded "Edge" screen and all the cases only offer a raised edge at the top and bottom of Samsung screens in order to retain accessibility to the "Edge" functions. The detractor being that the lack of raised edges left and right of the screen leaves the screen a lot more vulnerable to anything but a straight down, flat surface drop. It is good to know that the UB pro case shouldnt be so easily discounted though. I have seen poor reviews for the same type of middle of the edge of the screen breaks that I mention above to be fair to both Armadillotek and Supcase's products. This doesnt make the choice between the two any easier now 😑. Ah okay, that's a pretty rare one off event where my carry technique may have failed, glad it just nicked the protector and not your screen. I always carry in a side pocket, screen toward thigh.

Blackbeard ThePirate the choice is difficult if you pocket carry. I’ve been using Supcase for years an I have yet to crack a screen, even with the curved edged phones. I had to try the other two so I didn’t feel like I was missing out on something. Personally, I won’t use another otter box case. Twice the price and for rubber that gets soft in the sun and falls apart. I also used to use the holster all the time. Now I’m using the Galaxy Fold and nobody makes a holster for that.

Surprised after so long it hasn't improved, wow. So far as I can tell Supcase are the same people as I-Blason, I love the I-Blason Transformer Series cases, real shame that they didn't make one for the note 10+ because I'd have snatched it up without a second thought. I ended up going with the Vanguard for now after going through a lot of reviews. I've had great luck with the I-Blason transformers, but I am just too leery of some of what I read on the UB pro's durability. Seems to be a lot more people reviewing with broken face inserts on the UB pro vs Vanguard is the only discernable thing that made up my mind, aside from aesthetics and pocketability I guess. The side buttons supposedly being harder to find isnt a big deal to me, may build them up for more tactile feel or something if it's an issue. I'm astounded at the incredibly limited selection of rugged kickstand cases for the n10+. How out of touch do manufacturers have to be to not realize people are going to want to set their phone down landscape to watch some media on their flagship phablet?
