10 Key Features

• Multi-Design Finishes — Choose from transparent, geometric, abstract, business, and exotic prints—all produced with UV-resistant inks that won't fade in 12+ months.
• Precision-Molded TPU Shell — Injection-molded to exact Galaxy Note 9 tolerances for a gap-free fit on every unit, whether SM-N960U or SM-N960F.
• Full Perimeter Coverage — Side rails wrap completely around the phone, eliminating exposed edges that suffer side-impact damage.
• S Pen Slot Access — 2 mm clearance opening for the S Pen—no case removal needed during note-taking or drawing sessions.
• Anti-Scratch Coating — Micro-textured surface layer resists surface abrasions from keys, coins, and rough surfaces in bags or pockets.
• Slim 1.5 mm Profile — Adds only 1.5 mm to each side; fits standard Galaxy Note 9 car mounts, desk stands, and sleeves without modification.
• Snap-Fit Installation — No tools required—install or remove in under 10 seconds.
• Wireless Charging Pass-Through — Thin TPU construction passes Samsung Fast Wireless Charging at full 12W rated output.
• Raised Camera Bezel — 0.3 mm raised lip around the dual-camera array protects the lenses when placed face-down.
• Dust-Resistant Port Covers — Tight-fitting port openings prevent lint and dust ingress in pocket carry.

Material Specifications

Built from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), a high-performance elastomer rated for the demands of daily smartphone protection.

• Shore Hardness: 85A (firm enough to hold shape, flexible enough to absorb shocks)
• Shell Thickness: 1.2–1.5 mm
• Operating Temperature: -20°C to 65°C (-4°F to 149°F)
• Ink Type: UV-resistant sublimation print (pattern variants)
• Transparency: ≥90% light transmittance (clear variant)

5 Real-World Use Cases

1. Student on Campus: Toss your Note 9 into a packed backpack with textbooks—full perimeter TPU rails absorb the constant low-level bumps of campus life throughout an 8-hour day.
2. Remote Worker: Rotate between home, café, and co-working spaces—the slim profile means the case goes in and out of any laptop bag without bulk.
3. Creative Professional: Artists and designers using the S Pen for on-the-go sketching can eject and replace the stylus dozens of times daily without ever removing the case.
4. Traveler: TSA-friendly slim profile; the anti-scratch surface survives the rough handling of luggage bins, trays, and overhead compartments.
5. Gift Recipient: With multiple design options—geometric, abstract, transparent—this case ships in clean packaging, making it an ideal gift for any Galaxy Note 9 user.

Feature vs. Benefit

Installation Guide

1. Clean: Wipe any fingerprints or dust from your Note 9 with a dry microfiber cloth.
2. Orient: Hold the case with the bottom port cutout facing down, open face toward you.
3. Insert bottom: Slide the bottom of the phone—USB-C port down—into the bottom opening of the case first.
4. Align the sides: Run your thumbs up both side rails to press the phone into the case evenly.
5. Snap top corners: Press the top-left and top-right corners down firmly until flush.
6. Final check: Confirm the S Pen slot aligns, all buttons click normally, and the rear camera opening is centered and unobstructed.

Installation complete in under 10 seconds.

Troubleshooting

• Pattern appears off-center? Remove and re-seat the case—the print is centered on the molded shell; misalignment means the case is not fully seated.
• Case won't lay flat in a pocket? The raised camera lip adds ~0.5 mm to the rear surface. This is normal and intentional—it protects the camera lenses.
• Buttons hard to press? Break-in period of 24–48 hours is normal for new TPU cases. The button covers soften to match your device after regular use.
• Ink fading or peeling (pattern variants)? The UV-resistant sublimation inks are embedded in the case material, not printed on top. If you see peeling, contact us via our Contact page within 30 days for a replacement.
• Case yellowing (clear variant)? Clear TPU can develop a warm tint after extended direct sunlight exposure. This is cosmetic only; full protection is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What Galaxy Note 9 model numbers does this fit?
A: SM-N960U (US), SM-N960F (international), SM-N960W (Canada). Not compatible with Note 8 (SM-N950) or Note 10 (SM-N970).

Q: Can I still use the S Pen with the case on?
A: Yes. The S Pen slot opening is sized with a 2 mm clearance for smooth, full-travel ejection and re-insertion.

Q: Does the case support Qi wireless charging?
A: Yes. At 1.5 mm TPU thickness, the case passes Samsung 12W Fast Wireless Charging and standard 5W Qi without interruption.

Q: How do I choose between the design options?
A: All designs use the same case mold and offer identical protection. The choice is purely aesthetic—transparent if you want to show your phone's color, or patterned for a personalized look.

Q: How scratch-resistant is the surface?
A: The micro-textured surface resists light scratches from everyday items (keys, coins). It is not rated for industrial abrasion resistance.

Q: What is the case weight?
A: Approximately 15–18 g, depending on the design variant (pattern variants have a slightly thicker ink layer).

Q: Does it work with a screen protector?
A: Yes. Compatible with standard 0.33 mm tempered glass screen protectors. Full-coverage edge-to-edge protectors may lift at the corners due to the raised bezel.

Q: Will this work with a magnetic car phone mount?
A: The TPU material does not block magnetic mounts, but it contains no built-in metal plate. Use an adhesive metal plate between the phone and case for magnetic mounts.

Q: Is the USB-C port fully accessible?
A: Yes. The USB-C cutout measures 12 × 8 mm, accommodating all standard USB-C cables, fast chargers, and DeX adapters.

Q: How long does shipping take?
A: Standard US delivery: 5–7 business days. Expedited 2-day options are available at checkout.

Q: What is your return policy?
A: 30-day returns on unused, original-packaging items. See our Refund Policy for full details.

Q: Can I clean the patterned surface with alcohol?
A: Yes—70% isopropyl alcohol on a microfiber cloth is safe for all variants. Avoid acetone or abrasive wipes.

Q: Is this a full-body case or just a back cover?
A: This is a back cover with side rail protection. The front screen is not covered—pair it with a Galaxy Note 9 screen protector for full coverage.

Q: Do you offer bulk or wholesale pricing?
A: For bulk orders, please reach out via our Contact page.

Q: Is the packaging gift-ready?
A: The case ships in clean retail packaging suitable for gifting without additional wrapping.
