The S9 features a magnificent Super AMOLED screen, which wraps across its notch-less surface, curving at the sides to create a near bezel-less display. It's slim body is easy to hold and slide in and out of your pocket. You get the idea: the Galaxy S9 is a beautiful phone. You already knew that. The point is, don't obscure it with a bulky case. This Spigen case allows me to enjoy my phone's design while keeping it protected.This case fits perfectly: the buttons are easily clickable, the charging and headphone ports are easily accessible, and the screen edges are easily touchable. The case must be removed to access the microSD/SIM slot on the top of the phone, which is takes about 2 seconds. On the back, there is a curved notch leading to the fingerprint scanner, making unlocking a breeze.This case, along with a screen protector, should provide ample everyday protection. I recommend a screen protector for any phone; even with the S9's Gorilla Glass, it's better to be safe than sorry. Also, the case doesn't have much of a lip on the sides to protect from face-down falls (this would block the edges). I had the same type of Spigen case on my S6 for over 2 years with zero damage. Slim, secure, and cheap-- it won't provide the same protection as an Otterbox, but it does the job, and looks good doing it.

The Galaxy S9 is slim and sleek and etc, which also means it feels like it was specifically designed to slip out of your hand as easily as possible. I'm not a person who ever drops their phone, but after getting the S9 I was in constant fear of it. This case makes the phone MUCH easier to grip, and is still about as low-profile as possible while offering some protection from drops and from screen contact on flat surfaces. The buttons still have really nice tactile feedback through the case, too. I would prefer if it were a bit softer, it has nearly the feel of hardness of plastic. But that's my only drawback. This is a good case for the price if your top concerns are grippiness and keeping a slim profile for the S9.

I got this because the back glass cracked on my Galaxy S9 after 15 months of use. Rather than pay for expensive repair, I decided to put a tape over the crack and get this cover. I am not usually a big fan of phone covers, because it makes it bulkier and changes the tactile feel of the product. But I really like this Spigen cover for the following reasons: (1) It's very thin. The thickness of the phone, the way it fits in my hand and pants pocket is virtually unchanged from when I didn't have the cover on. It does not interfere with my wireless charger in my home and in my car. (2) It's not slippery like glass, but it's not grippy like rubber. It slips in and out of my pocket without grabbing on to my pant pocket and lint, but it doesn't slide around on the table top. (3) It's a perfect fit. I've had phone covers that stretch like gummy worms and I've had phone covers that need a vice-grip to put on and take off. This one slips on pretty easily, stays on without shifting, and slips off if you pry the corner with your hands. The openings for camera, fingerprint reader, and lights are recessed and never interfere; all the buttons work fine. Openings for audio jack, USB plug, speaker, and microphone also are perfectly aligned.
