So, I previously was using the Peel thin case along with their edge to edge glass screen protector on my iPhone 8:

However, while generally happy with their products, I was having some problems getting a case that fit well, and there were a couple areas where I felt that the screen protector could've been better. That said, Peel's customer service is outstanding and I would recommend them as a reputable company to do business with.
Nonetheless, I decided to branch out and try a couple new products. I decided to try Tozo's thin case, and Benks's edge to edge screen protector.
Case:

I saw so many reports that the Tozo case on Amazon was identical to the Peel case so I decided to give it a try. It absolutely is identical. It isn't close, it isn't similar - no, it is identical. The Tozo costs $9 on Amazon while the Peel costs $25.
This one fits well, I have no complaints. Cutouts are precise and fit is nice and tight. I have no doubt whatsoever that this case and the Peel came out of the same factory and the same mold, and just stuck in different packaging at different prices. Would highly recommend the Tozo.
Screen Protector:

I decided to give the above Benks protector a try, and I'm glad I did. Complaints I had about the Peel were that the protector covered a sliver of the active screen around the entire border, and that the white color was ever so slightly warmer than the white face of the phone.
The Benks came nicely packaged and with the usual nice array of pack-ins that you get from more expensive protectors. It cost a mere $10 on Amazon, vs. $30 for the Peel.
The Benks solves the 2 issues I had with the Peel - the color is definitely whiter/truer to the phone color, and while this one also covers a sliver of the active screen, it covers slightly less. Whereas on the Peel the right edge of my scroll bar in Safari was right up to the edge of the protector, I can see a slight bit of active screen to the right of the scroll bar with the Benks.
The Benks clarity is excellent, oleophobic coating does the job, and the installation went perfect. The proximity sensor cutout is a bit higher than it should be, but the Peel was the same way (albeit maybe a hair less). Would highly recommend the Benks for the price. Between the two, the Benks is the better product.
