With a Gear4 D30 book case, the front and back of your Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be protected against scratches, drops, and bumps. The side of this case is made of D30 material. This material consists of molecules that lock together and harden when you drop the case, or when you knock it against something. After impact, the molecules return to their flexible state automatically. Thanks to the D30 material, Gear4 cases provide excellent protection for your smartphone, while staying relatively thin. There's also room for money and cards on the inside of the book case. Thanks to the handy closure, the case won't open by itself when you don't want it to.

Finishing and protection are in order and this for a good price.

The reason I can't recommend this case is because I simply can't get used to a flip cover. I've always had a normal case for my smartphones and thought this might be better for the Note 8's large (vulnerable) screen. It protects it very well, but I find it very clumsy to work with. The cover is a piece of plastic, which catches and therefore keeps the cover closed. This can sometimes be difficult. One-handed opening is not included.
After 1.5 weeks of use, I notice the following even more; The access to, for example, the S-pen and 3.5mm jack is small and makes it difficult to remove the pen. Also, not every headphone fits, because some connections are too thick. The supplied USB to USB-C connector does not go in far enough and is therefore not usable. In addition, operating the on/off button in particular is difficult. I have to press it hard for a response.
Finally, the whole thing gets quite big and bulky. The Note 8 is a beautiful device in itself, but this is completely lost in this case. I find it inconvenient to hold it with the cover, which is soon dangling from it. An advantage is of the cover that you can put it down on the table, for example, which makes watching movies easier.
Again, this is all very personal. Someone else might love flip covers and absolutely love this case. In any case, I switched to the Spigen Rugged Case (also available via Coolblue), and I really like it! Together with a decent screen protector (Whitestone Dome), I'm happy.

It is a nice product that does not affect the operation of the phone. Taking out the s pen is a little more complicated with the case. It's a shame that the cover in the car is so clumsy
