    I'm probably going to get one of the LED cases for the phone after I recover from the purchase price, but in the meantime, I'll probably pick up this case from Amazon.

    Funny story about this case for me. When I originally purchased my Motorola Moto X4 I hunted for cases and found this one to "tide me by." I kept that phone for 15 months or so and never moved on to a different case.

    I preordered (or ordered on the first day available, I forget which) the Pixel 3a and went hunting for a case. I really wanted the Google one, but jeez was it expensive. I poked around, found some, oops, that one is for the 3a XL, dug here, looked there. I finally settled on a case to "get me by" and ordered it. Turns out it was the same case I had for the Moto X4. As I look to my left at the 3a it is still rocking that same case.

    So now I've done the fake preorder on Samsung's site I see this case is available for the S20 (there are a million available for the S20 Ultra) and thought "what the heck." So once I get shipping confirmation I'll pull the trigger, but this time, with the price of this phone, I don't think I'll stick with a "just to get by" case.

    Anyway, what I like about this case. On my other phones it has fit perfectly and the buttons work without having to press overly hard. It has enough of an edge so when you place the phone face down the screen is protected, and it is thick enough that it protects the raised camera (on my X4).

    I like the textured back for both look and grip and it doesn't make the phone too "fat" for a comfortable hold. Oh, and it's $8. :p
