SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Rugged Holster Case with Kickstand for 6.8-Inch Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus/Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G (2019), Blue

This is my second Supcase case for this phone, bought the first one (this exact case but all black) about 4 years ago. As an event manager I beat the living crap out of it, and my last case finally gave in. Actually just the thin internal frame that holds the phone securely in the case gave in. It took countless drops but that piece finally gave out. The outer protective shell is actually still in great shape. The kickstand did die about a year ago but I jerry rigged it to my satisfaction. Anyhow, I thought I would switch it up for a nice subtle green case and I love the soft metallic finish. Let me tell you, the last case was work every penny and I hope this one lasts me another 4-5 years. Supcase is a qusality product, I highly recommend!

I go to say that this has been one of my favorite phone cases I have used so far. I've been using it constantly and for my other phones as well. The plastic material that is covering my phone feels strong and sturdy. I also love a small feature that many phone cases don't have, is that it has it's own kickstand to hold your phone while recording, watching, eating, or multitasking, and you can have it kickstand up or on its side as well. There are 4 colors to choose from other than the black one I have. Black, Blue, Green, and White. I do have the green case for my other phone, and it matches my phone perfectly, as does this black one as well. Each color is vibrant and nicely detailed. I do want to mention that there is NO screen protection for this Note 10+. I had to buy it separately, and it fits it pretty well and doesn't push against it, like other cases would. The other drawback as well is that the kickstand will get weaker and can break if you use it constantly, so be careful of that. As for the case itself, the case is sturdy, strong, and has a good plastic grip to it. I have dropped it many times when trying to catch it when it falls out of my hands because I was rushing to get it out of my pocket, and it has saved my phone from cracking when it hits the floor, walls, or table. The plastic material feels nice, and it is scratch resistant as well when I have them in the same pockets with my keys. All in all, I would highly recommend this phone protective case for the price, and it does come with a case holster for your waist if you want to use it to free up space in your pocket. The holster holds your phone tightly so you don't have to worry about it falling out, and the holster on the back can be twisted 360 degrees so you can holster it any way you like.

Good case. Sturdy but not bulky. Easy install. Useful kickstand

I recently picked this up after reading through several Amazon reviews. First I'll go over my impressions, and then I'll discuss some of my concerns and expectations. The case feels very sturdy, but not overly heavy. Installation was pretty straightforward and simple. The side buttons are still snappy, with only a very minor sponginess to them you would expect from any covering and are easy to locate by feel. The raised edges on the top and bottom of the shell do a good job at keeping the glass away from flat surfaces when placed face down. I've dropped the phone once onto a hard wood floor (4-5ft), and have taken the case apart to inspect both it and my phone. Neither have sustained damage. As for connectivity, I have successfully used Samsung Pay at a range of several inches and have also successfully used wireless charging on a cheap no-name charger I got from a relative a few years back. The third party charger was a bit picky with placement, but not so much as to require dedicated fiddling. I have not attempted power sharing, as I have no power sharing compatible devices currently. Now, some of my concerns. While the case seems to be very sturdy, the kickstand seems to be the opposite. With the very small nubs being the only thing securing the stand to the case, it doesn't surprise me to see other reviewers with broken ones. The action to pull the stand out can very easily lead to accidentally pulling the small nubs against the track they are on and bending, grinding, or otherwise breaking them. I definitely recommend being very very careful with the stand - and ensuring you aren't pulling it away from or pushing it into the track as you slide it into place. The second, and more minor concern is the usb-c cover. You will need to use your fingernails to pull it open, and the rugged build will continue to fight to close itself again as you fish the cable through. It will also continue to place a small amount of pressure on cable that is plugged in. I don't need usbc access often, so I can live with it. If you are constantly and always using the port, it may be worth using a knife to trim the usbc cover off in the long term. All in all this has been a very positive product experience, despite some of the quirks of the design. I typically only drop phones once every 5-6 years, so at this price point I could break the case and replace it a few times and still spend less money than on competing rugged cases. UPDATE 11/15/2019: I have tested wireless power sharing with a friend's phone. He has a fairly thick leather case. Wireless power sharing worked, but only if one of us removed our case. It didn't matter who. As long as the signal only had to pass through a single case and not two it worked fine. UPDATE 11/30/2019 Picked up some galaxy buds. Wireless power sharing will not work with the case on for these. Not a big deal since I'm usually on my phone and don't want to drain its battery more anyways, but worth noting.

I loved this jacket. I dropped my phone so many times and it did what it offered. I'm 5'11 and my phone would mostly drip from waist height. It has dropped from my chest pocket before. I cannot say which drop cracked a corner of my phone, but the amount of times I had dropped it, there should be more. A lot of my drops are due to running to catch a bus and how much ferocity there is in jumping over things or through streets in LA. Everything that this case boasts, I can confirm it does it well. It is easy to put on and easy to remove. The plastic inside the outer jacket had broken (most likely from a fall), but it still functioned as a skeleton once I put it back. The outside of the jacket can also function as a pressurized cast of sorts. The only, only, only reason I did not repurchase this case is because of the back. The clip for it to function as a stand is nice, but only works horizontally. Not to mention I cannot slip my finger in between the gap once opening it. The note 10+ is rather huge and heavy and I like having the security of holding my phone when I use it. Unfortunately, SUPCASE has no alternate jacket that I could find without the back (and in fact, was difficult to find one for the note 10+ in general with protective qualities). The Note 10+ is on the thin side and I love how the supcase unicorn beetle made it beefier when holding it. But because of that, I do struggle opening the side window battle from the edge here and there (and the other case I purchased also gives me trouble- it has to do with the phone itself having edges being rounded and smoothed, which is stupid overall). For those looking for a case without the clip on the back, I would recommend the 'Galaxy Note 10 Plus Rugged Clear Case, Poetic Full-Body Bumper Cover'. I put on an attachment on the back so that I could use it as a hori/vert stand and as a ring insert for better grip.

After installing over my new Note 10+, really felt the added weight of the case. However, the design and tight fit are very reassuring that should I accidentally drop my phone, I have a very high level of confidence that no damage will result especially to the screen. Which of course if the primary purpose one acquires a case for any smartphone let alone ones that are priced in the 4 figures. Really feels high quality in terms of build and materials used. Softer rubbery edge aids grip with the convenience of a very stiff stand to position the phone in either portrait or landscape for hands free viewing. Built-in USB-C rubber plug at the bottom of the case makes inserting cables a bit challenging but again, the tight fit is reassuring that water will not enter the phone's USB-C port when plugged. Case works very well with a wireless charging base but secure fit means you want to minimize the number of times you want to insert/remove the SIM card or Micro SD card. Edge protection from the case does not interfere with screen gestures including the edge ones on Samsung's curved displays. A solid plastic belt clip holder is included but I haven't yet used as the Note 10+ is a huge phone that I'm not sure really works well (at this level of weight) hooked on one side or the other on a belt. For the price especially, an exceptional value for a max level of protection and piece of mind.

Great product

UPDATE: Okay, so I've had this case for about two years, and it appears it's not going to last for the life of the phone. My two complaints are 1. the flap that comes out to allow access to the USB-C port no longer goes back into it's closed position, the rubber is permanently warped after sitting on the charger enough times, and I think this must inevitably happen to all of these it's not a defect of my individual case, and 2. The kickstand was functional for a long time but eventually it came out of the tracks and I had to put it back, which was fine for a while, but then it came out again, and it was very challenging to get back in the tracks, and as I tried to push it into place, the little protruding part that makes it fit into the track broke off, so now it has no kickstand. So, I will be getting a new case, and not this one. However it wasn't a horrible case, it just has these defects, which again I doubt are unique but are just problems with the case design. Still, it was fairly cheap and lasted two years, so I can't necessarily recommend against it. EARLY REVIEW: overall this is a great case, my one minor complaint is that the little power flap at the bottom that pops out when you plug it in comes loose after some time and doesn't close all the way or takes some time to stay closed, but it's a really minor defect and it seems to close back up after some time goes by anyway so really I would give it like 4.7 stars. also the kickstand is great because you can stand it up horizontally or vertically and also put your fingers through it as a grip thing if you want to . I definitely would buy again.
