Cases that don't ruin the curved edge feel?

Hello,
As the title describes, I am looking for a case for my Nexus 4 that doesn't get in the way of the curved side edges as I use Pie a lot and love the feel of that curved edge. Has anyone found such a case and would like to share?

You mean one that doesn't cover the sides right by the screen? If yes, mine doesn't, only the left one - but even the right side it's really minimal:
The case has a flip, idk if that's your taste - but has a high quality build, I bought from eBay:

That's almost exactly what I was looking for but I prefer the right edge to be the more exposed one. I'll probably end up getting that one if I don't find one I like better. Thanks for your photo, I wish more sellers on eBay provided photos like that.

Mini Comparison G3 Screen and Size S5, Note 3

Here is a comparison between the G3, S5, and Note 3 screens. As you can see the AMOLED is heavily saturated when compared to the G3. The 2k screen stands out in comparison with the amount of detail that it displays. The blacks are close in color to me at least, but you can be the judge of that. All of the phones were on AUTO brightness for consistency. Pictures were taken with the S5 and the Note 3 respectively.
The G3 is a comfortable size, and I prefer its size over that of my wife's S5. I really enjoyed my Note 3, but this phone just feels much better, and the back buttons really make a difference.
EDIT Updated:
(I had another picture but the file got corrupted for some reason, I'll retake it and post it here)

Thanks for this but I think it would be better if you used the same background on all the phones so you can see the difference better vs different background pics

Can you use 2k wallpapers to make the most of the g3 screen?

The picture of earth is technically a 4K or greater (5200x3000) wallpaper, but yes the 2K wall papers do make the most of the display.

Yea I want to see high resolution pictures to see if that extra ppi shows more details. Here's a link for some high resolution wallpapers from another tread on XDA.

Anyone noticing the scratch on the display? Gorilla Glas 3 is the worst Glas from Corning, hopefully Apple will end this with Saphire Glas

Looks really nice.. Kind of over saturated but not as bad as amoled panels. Was a big fan of amoled screens but now I prefer more accurate display. I think amoled screen make pictures look really good and punchy but lcd panels are better for viewing videos. Amoled screens are the worst for viewing dark scenes in movies and has terrible ghosting. Do you prefer the s5 screen or g3?

I prefer the G3, when I use my wife's S5 it's like you are downgrading honestly. The G3's screen feels more accurate to me and the size is much better for reading through text and as you stated watching videos. I had a Note 3 before this became my daily phone so if that gives you any insight.

Apparently lg is making their own sapphire glass as well. But there's a link in the accessories section where you can get a Tempered glass screen protector with full body protector for $10 or around £7. Bought 2 of them for lg g3 and galaxy s4. brilliant offer.. I paid £13 for a normal spigen plastic screen protector so can go wrong for the price and gives you that extra protection.

Was there a noticable difference in size when holding the G3 when compared to the S5? I currently have the S5 and while it already feels a little big when I hold it, I'm scared the G3 will feel even bigger, since it is a bit bigger.

The G3 looks great but I hate talk about how over saturated the S5 looks. Samsung actually gives you a choice. Display mate actually rated the S5 as the most color accurate phone when set to cinema mode.

Anyone coming from the note 5? Was it worth it? Any input would be appreciated.

I agree I just came from the iPhone 6s plus and the fingerprint scanner was beyond great.

My wife has the Note 5 and between the two, I still like mine better. Its just a better footprint overall.

I've got both. I don't see any difference in performance except when I compared them in Gear VR. The Note 5 was way much smoother for some reason (maybe something dragging down the S7E in the background..?) picture quality is slightly better on S7E but it feels like the Note 5 has slightly larger field of view.
Otherwise it's up to everyone personal preference design-wise.

S6 edge plus display inherently not as good as other "regular" AMOLEDs?

Just an observation coming from Note 3 , Note 4 and last phone LG V10 which was IPS display.
The current handset T Mobile Edge S6+ does not seem to be as sharp per se in image quality, meaning its not as crisp of an image ( notable when reading ) compared to what I was expecting. I'm guessing this is normal, anyone come from a Note 3 or 4 and care to chime in?

I came from note 3 and before that i had s4.
I feel s6 edge+ is better than them.

True, i think it was my eyes getting used to amoled again. One before was LG v10 IPS.
Only thing i don't like is the tiny system fonts example LTE icon and so forth.

Yes, its smaller than what I'm used to also notification are smaller. Increasing font size doesn't effect it.

Short answer - My best friend buy S7E and we compared this two devices. The conclusion is S6E+ is better in screen, camera, overall beauty.

edge features

Does the s8 have the edge features that the s7e had? They mentioned that the edge was less this year so what can it do? How do the notifications work? Can the edges pulsate and animate colors? Is that only when the phone is face down?

S8 will have Same features like s7e Just they made some modification and updated some apps thats it. both s7 and s8 have 7.0 nougat you also can install s8 apps when they are available to public

The really should have stuck with a proper independent Edge screen like the original Note Edge.

I've ordered a new note edge... Primarily because of that independent Edge screen. Makes life so much easier with a big phone.
Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Are there 3rd party apps that let you do more with the edge like illuminate them when face up

I saw a demo unit and the edge lighting settings implies it works face up

Is it possibile to launch Tasker tasks from the edge panel on S7/S8? I looked for info but couldn't find a clear answer.

@Chronocento
There is an app for shortcuts, apps, direct dial etc in Samsung App store for edge. I'm using it with a S6.

As above poster. Also you could export anything Tasker-made as an app and just use it in the apps edge panel.

Is the main screen still hidden when the edge is being used
