Case suggestion - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

I own a naked S7E unlocked. I'm choosing between Spigen Neo Hybrid or VRS Design High Pro Shield. Which one is a better suggestion??

Take a look at the S7 Edge Accessories forum - there's plenty of advice on cases there.

Case or Skin recommendations?

The only case I see available for the vibrant is the Amzer silicone skin cases on amazon. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Wrong subforum
...just realized that
I like the black one T-Mobile sales. It fits great and feels good. And will do a good job of protecting it.
Invisible Skin for Sammy Vibe
I haven't tried them, but the invisible shield at Zagg looks good and they have them for the Vibe.
Black case from T-Mobile. If you checked the Accessories forum you would see a lot of others agree on it being a great case
I got a couple of the tpu cases off ebay for my wife and I and they fit and look great. Plus they are cheap.
Try Ebay. Although, it states Galaxy S but it fits my Vibrant very well and it's cheaper than T-mobile store.

What protective cases are you using for the S7 Edge?

So my wife and I just upgraded to the new S7's. I decided to get the Edge, my wife got the normal S7. It was very easy to find a nice protective case for her phone,(which she absolutely loves) but as much as I really like the bigger screen and this neat edge design, I am weary of dropping it and breaking the screen.
Ive been scouring the internet trying to find the best protective case I can find that isn't ridiculously bulky. Naturally there are many opinions of which are the best.
At the moment, Im trying the Spigen Neo-Hybrid crystal premium bumper case. It fits really nice. Looks pretty good. It has a 1.3mm bezel around the corners,(1.8mm around the camera)which is decent, but I wouldn't mind something with a bit more protection. This case does seem to cover a bit more of the edge panels than some other pics of protectors Ive seen. I used a UAG case on my S5 for nearly 2 years now and I can't even tell you how many times I dropped it and there isn't a scratch on the thing! But Im kinda tired of that same ol' style they keep sticking with, and I dont know how good their Edge case actually is. Style is a bit important to me, but quality of protection definitely takes priority. I dont own a wireless charger yet, so getting a case that supports it isnt high on my priority list.
So , what are you all using to protect your S7 edges? Ive been looking into many brands and I keep finding ones that I havent even heard of before! Ill list some of the ones Ive seen recommended in a following post.
I'm using the Spigen Tough Armor and it's fantastic. Probably dropped my phone about 4-5 times and it's done it's job. It fits really snug and isn't bulky at all. It's on amazon for 17.99. If you have any questions about that case let me know

Cool. I've been considering trying the Tough Armor. I think I'll give that a try.
I use the tough armor as well. Dropped phone many times lol. Love it.
Edit...
Also just ordered a hybrid. Kind of a otterbox looking case, off of eBay.

Cool. My tough armor should be arriving today. Looking forward to checking it out. I want to make sure my Edge stays as protected as possible without walking around with a something the size of a retro Sony Walkman cassette player in my pocket lol.
I also got this screen protector called IllumiAquashield. I heard good things about it. Its a little tricky to apply, but I've seen in videos that it looks incredible when applied properly. Im really picky about screen protectors, but I know the Edge is a bit more fragile than the regular S7, and I can't afford to take any chances.
Just an update, got my other case yesterday, seems good, however it's massive. I'm going back to my tough armor. I'm also looking for a good screen protector.

I use the Samsung branded clear case. It's very minimal and doesn't interfere with the edge of the screens. This, and the iPhone 6S Plus I had before this, are the only phones I've ever used cases on. I never really liked the feel of the phone with cases and it takes away from the phone and the way it's meant to be. However, these last two clear cases have been nice.

I'm using the otterbox defender on my s7 edge. I also own the supcase unicorn beetle pro. Been rocking the otterbox defender for the built in screen protector and it's a bulkier case so I feel it will provide the most protection of the 2 cases.

I've been using the Cover-Ups Explorer case. It has minimal drop protection but looks very nice with the wooden back. However, today I ordered a SUPcase Unicorn Beetle Pro (what a terrible name!) because it looks like it can be installed over screen protectors without any issues.
I gotta say, the Spiegen Tough Armor is wonderful so far! My phone feels much safer than it did in the other case! I think Ill be sticking with this. Buttons are a little tougher to press vs. the Neo Hybrid Crystal, but Its worth it for the extra protection imo.

I grabbed the IllumiAquashield off of Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F5VMRCM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Im pretty picky when it comes to screen protectors. This is really great so far! Its a wet application and when done properly it looks fantastic! Can hardly tell that there is a protector on the screen. Just read the application tips that people added in the reviews if you decide to get it.
Its also case friendly. Fits perfect with my Tough Armor, and there's no sign of the edges lifting up from taking the case on and off. Im genuinely impressed. The kit comes with 2 protectors and they guarantee them for life.
Some pretty respectable points about the company aside from the warranty too. Theyre made in America and manufactured using 100% renewable energy ( just in case you care about that sorta thing).
Like I said, My application went on flawlessly, so if you have any questions, just shoot me a pm!

Can anyone recommend screen protectors which can be bought in the UK?

I have purchased an S8+ recently and ordered some cheap cases and screen protectors off ebay. The problem is that they pick up fingerprints and look weird around edges where the adhesive is. Can anyone recommend and good screen protectors that can be bought in the UK? I'd prefer them to be case friendly as well. Thanks.
I use these with my Spigen thin case.
They have wings so tuck under the case stopping edge lift.

Yes, I've read about these but forgot about them! Thanks for this, will definitely get them.
The tech 21 screen protectors are really really nice. I have 1 on my S8 and it's fantastic even with fingerprints. It's very case friendly I have yet to have any issues with it yet.
I use Samsungs OEM screen protector.
I bought mine in Switzerland. It is a "Panzerglass" one. The phone already fell hard on the ground and the screen protector didn't even scratched, it also doesn't catch fingerprints easily.
I've tried quite a bit of screen protectors, invisible defender, white stone, spigen etc and I ended up returning them all. It's going to be trial and error for you; it's highly subjective and what you will like compared to others.
There is an XDA forum dedicated to the S8+ (rather than the S8), and there's an Accessories sub-forum within it where there are a number of threads dealing with screen protectors for the S8+

Premium Case

Hello
i am looking for a premium case, a slim one for my s9+, any ideas of any good ones? i am looking at the pitaka cases but they are not out yet
As someone who used the Pitaka for my S8, I now have the Samsung hyperknit case and like it a lot. Not quite as thin as the Pitaka but good coverage and I like the texture. I also have the Samsung Alcantara case on order. Still considering the Pitaka if/when they release, I liked it a lot for my S8.
I'm using the Samsung Alcantara since the Galaxy S8. Love them. Had them on my S8 Plus, Note 8 and now the S9 Plus. They feel great and not thick

Clear S7+ case

Anyone have any luck finding a clear tpu case anywhere for the s7+? Everything I saw was shipping from overseas and delivery was nov/dec or it had issues like they forgot to cut the hole for the pen slot.
I ordered this one today. Ringke has one for s7 but not the plus yet https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HHY6K18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
