Samsung Galaxy S24 Family Thread

[Devious]

The vegan case is pretty slippery to be fair. I had the light grey leather case on my S22U and it was much more grippy and looked better. I'm glad I didn't buy this case but for free it's OK I suppose.

Thanks, i didn't get it free so have it on order. I may cancel.

Are there any grippy rubber cases anymore? Best gripoy case Ive ever has was by Patchworks fir my S9+. They only do clear cases now.

I'm waiting for Caudabe to release their S24 lineup, they have always been my go to.

Having said that though, I'm going to give the Pitaka one a try, should be here tomorrow.

Looks grippy, will be interested in your thoughts. Not so keen on the large notch for the buttons tbh.

Might try the Bellroy leather and return the Samsung.

This slim case protects your Samsung from bumps and scratches, and gives it a smooth leather touch that feels great in hand.

Just try it when it comes and then return if you don't like it. Samsung do a couple of other grippy type cases, one with a movable strap type thingy that can also be used for a stand and they also do another called the shield case.

Another vote for the Ringke Onyx here - a good slim, grippy, rubber case.

Yeah but Samsung said it was all cushty. Right?


Enter said Samsung rep. Don't worry an update will be out tomorrow.

Thanks, may try, quite like camo version, but one of the two reviews says it feels cheap and slippery.

Anyone found just a simple 'film' protector for the lenses? Managed to scratch my S23U ones so need to protect them somehow :/

(probably on the dirty floor at the gym!)

It was probably Gucci's grandkid giving that review

I've had no issues with grip with this case. It's got textured grip on both sides and the back has a fine sand finish.

I've seen a few people now, including myself, who have had more trouble than usual getting the Spigen protector installed without getting stuff under it! The one I have on now (4th Spigen one!) has a tiny hair towards the top, left of the camera. It isn't making a bubble so I can cope with it there.

The JETech ones appear to have a black border around the edges. Are you using this protector with a case? Which case if so?

I'm using the Spigen with a Spigen case at the moment and there is very little room for the protector to be longer without it touching the case, but there is room on the sides if those black bits extend outwards a bit.

Lint and hairs collect like no ones business around the edges of my Spigen protector, which is really annoying! Hoping it'll stop doing it once the edges of the protector lose their "stick".

Using it with the Spigen Tough Armor and it fits well. The gap between the screen protector and the case is minimal.

Agree with the Spigen installation, but the JETech still took a few goes to get on without dust specs. At c£2.50 it's much easier to remove a bad one and swap it out. If you are particular about it, you really need to create a dust free enviroment, patience and a bit of luck!

It doesn't feel very grippy to me unfortunately. Even propping it up on things it tends to slide

Dunno why they claim to be grippy. Theyre only grippy if you got moist hands. Dry hands and it's worse than a naked phone.

The temptation to remove the glass SP is strong. After washing hands or going out in the cold and trying to use FPS it just does not detect my prints at all.

I had the exact same issue, I had to remove the glass protector and put on the Samsung official one. I have to be honest I don't mind it, installation was ok, can be confusing if its the first time you have seen this installation type though. The FPS is perfect now though so it was worth it.

Oh yeah I know its not grippy but I want as close to minimal as possible whilst having some level of protection

Makes no real difference bit I notice the s24u will connect as wifi 6 in places in house where s23u will connect as wifi 6e

After using since Wednesday / Thursday I have the phone in a really good place.

Would really encourage people to use the Good lock tools and Theme park to customise, I've also used adb to remove some of the bloatware.

Also, if you use Themepark to create your own themes you can use 3rd party icons from the play store, you cannot do this with the built-in theme engine and have to use Samsung store icons which aren't that great .

Another tip, with the wallpapers. For the lock screen you can configure upto 15 wallpapers that rotate.

I love the fact Samsung provide so much flexibility, some may argue it's complex but I love that I can tailor it without having to use a 3rd party launcher

Got any screenshots of the masterpiece you've created??

Caseology Parallax here I come!

What colour phone and case did you go for? Looking at the Parallax for my go to "non clear" case.
The edges look like they wrap around the phone more then my Spigen Hybrid clear, but it could just be the colour! Main concern is compatibility with screen protectors but considering Caseology is a Spigen brand I can imagine it would be fine with their own!

What are people spending their £30 credit on in the galaxy store? I never use it so a bit stumped.
