This is the case I have. Seemed like a good case, I got it before the glass hoping it would work exactly as I wanted and it did. Since it had the crappy plastic "screen protector" I thought that once removed the Whitestone Dome would fit perfectly. Turns out it does. Basically the gaps on the side are almost non-existent (between the glass edge and the case), maybe 1mm on each side? The top and bottom of the glass are covered by the front of the case and since it snaps together it doesn't push on the edges nor can they be pulled up.
I imagine a lot of the other cases that are built similar (2 piece, thicker plastic screen protector) should work the same way.
I also got a dbrand skin for mine, just for looks though really.
I like this I Blazen one. Not completely waterproof, but its the longest lasting case of any phone I've had thus far.

If you want a different approach, I have a heavy duty case with built in screen-protector for work, as I take notes on the factory floor and a drop onto that floor would be fatal.
It adds bulk, and there's maybe a 5% drop in finger sensitivity, but zero drop in pen performance.
Best part is, at the end of the day at home, I can pop it out and have a completely naked phone.

Used this since I got the phone late last year. I feel generally "safe" in this case, which I never thought I would with a phone like this that's designed to intentionally be difficult to protect (glass back, curved edges)
The built in screen protector is thick plastic. It doesn't mark up with spen use like other soft plastic screen protectors from makers like Spigen. Screen protector has shown wear (especially with screen off, but it doesn't affect use visually (sometimes touch is wonky though).
Ideally I'd removed built in screen protector and replace with tempered glass directly on screen. But of course there are no options that make sense for our phone.
