It works great, it's really well made, and I think it's a useful function--a million times better than those STUPID popsockets--but it does cause the phone to no longer lie flat on its back because the "stowed" kickstand juts out a few millimeters.

My phone never fell or got hit

One of the nice thins about S8 is its width which makes it comfortable to hold but with this cover, it increases that width to a point that phone is not as cool and comfortable to hold...rest of the case at first glance seems fine.
