2) No physical home button. Those have always been useful when an app decides to freeze and makes fingerprint access easy.
I wouldn't stress about the screen curve. These appear to have a curve very similar to the Note 7, which is less sharp than that of the S7 Edge. The Note 7 worked fine with thin and light cases. I had a Supcase Unicorn Beetle that I liked when I was using a Note 7. It provided good protection.
My concern is with the fingerprint sensor location. I'm considering the Note 8 when it comes out this fall, but I don't like how high up they put the sensor on the S8 and S8+, nor that it's so close to the camera. I hope they bring it down a bit beneath the camera for the Note 8.
