hey everyone, I'm stopping by to let you all know the differences of cases for the blastic turbo. its the TUDIA Slim and the TUDIA Cygen. I got the other thicker version for my job in better protection but now i see the screen is more compromised when you upscale in protection. The first picture is the slim tudia, and as you can see it has pretty good edges/walls to protect the screen incase it falls face first all throughout. The second pic is the tudia cygen model supposedly the heavier duty edition and then you can see how disproportionated the edge is for screen protected and no where as near to the slim case in terms of the height of the edges/walls. the other last pic in the bottom is the side by side comparison of both cases, yes i know they both are same color and hard to distinguish but what sucks is the limit of only four pics so i had to choose wisely. i hope this helped answer questions about both cases. if any more questions arise feel free to ask me.
Jesus these curved screen phones are pissing me off, I kid you not.
I'm a huge fan of tempered glass screen protectors , In fact it's a deal breaker for me.
I hate the feel of PET or TPU screen protectors with their magical self healing properties, they feel soft and sticky..not smooth.
I don't have particularly enormous hands so i want a small..ish 5.1" to 5.2" phone with a good Screen to body ratio.
I can't believe how hard it is now to find a FLAT SCREENED small..ish FLAG SHIP phone.
They are all huge 5.5" to 37" bloody screens.
I have an S6 EDGE and i love the phone, I love how fast it is, I love the Camera.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a Samsung Fanboy, I HATE hardware buttons , I HATE TOUCHJIZZ (Thank god for Xposed Framework, at least i can manage resolution) But most of all i HATE the freaking shape of the back of the phone (Hold it long enough without a case and it leaves a dent in your hand it's so sharp) and i HATE the shape of the curved screen.
Even with a terrible PET screen protector i find the keyboard is occasionally unresponsive.
I have a Z3 and a Z3+ (Z4) and they are just not in the same ballpark as the S6 speedwise and are considerably bigger in size.
I've used a Z5 and lets face it, Even the SnapDragon 810 falls behind the S6 EDGE.
However , If I'd known that there are no tempered glass screen protectors for the S6 Edge, I wouldn't have bought it.
I was super excited to learn about the huawei P9 , Small phone..Fantastic Screen to body Ratio , Big Battery, SD Card Slot, 4 Gig of Ram, Freaking Amazing camera's...And then they go and ruin it with a 2.5D curved screen that no tempered glass screen protector will fit on properly..They all have to be made smaller than the screen.
http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_p9-7972.php
Then Samsung announce the S7 , fixing up all the issues with the S6, Bigger battery, SD Card Slot , 4 Gig of ram, Fantastic screen to body ratio ..and what do they do..Go and ruin it by putting a 2.5D curved screen on it so once again you can't have a tempered glass screen protector that covers the whole screen..they are made smaller , you can feel the edges , they interfere with typing.
Sooooooo, The S7 is a no go.
The LG G5 is just a little to big for my hands ..yet i love tap on.
I can't believe this , but I'm actually considering a standard 128 Gig S6 with a flat screen just so i can actually protect it and enjoy using it, and maybe add a Mophie
Juice pack or something similar thats thin and doesn't add much side bulk to the phone...at least i know tempered glass works with the Mophie since they sell one with it.
http://www.mophie.com/shop/juice-pack-galaxy-s6
I consider curved glass on phones like 3D movies , they are coming out all over the place, yet I don't know a single person that likes 3D movies or goes to see them.
I haven't actually ever used or held a standard S6 (In fact the only reason i got the edge was for the bigger battery *sigh*) but i presume they are totally flat and can have a normal glass screen protector put on them.
I don't know if this is the correct forum for this, but i don't think XDA has a RANTING and VENTING forum lol.
Well i don't know what you're talking about, there are dozen of tempered glass for the S7 edge that fully covers the screen perfectly. Check on Zagg website or on ebay. Although they are expensive. The annoying part though is that they have to color the top/bottom bezel for I don't know what stupid reason...they should make it just transparent
I don't get it either... Why the hell you bought an EDGE in the first place? You could have chosen a normal S6 that was same as an Edge but with a flat display.
You say you don't want huge (5.5") displays but you bought an S7 Edge that HAS a 5.5" CURVED display. Why haven't you bought a regular S7 instead (that has a flat 5.1" display) ?
Ok, I got it. First time you bought the S6 Edge you might have made a mistake, new phone, first one with a curved display, bla, bla...but doing the same thing second time and complaining about it...
Oh and a last thing. Read a little about "nanofixit" (or similar) screen protectors. It's liquid, increases the display hardeness up to 9H and fits any display (cause it's liquid). Glass screen protectors start to become obsolete

Ummmm , Do i need to point it out or should i just tell him to reread.
Fine for the slow ones.
1) I did not buy an S7 edge, no where in there do I state that I did... In fact I said the S7 was out with the simple phrase "sooooooooooo the S7 is a no go"
2) The reason I didn't buy the S7 is because you're actually incorrect.. They don't have a flat screen.. They have what is known as a 2.5D screen... Basically this is a useless tapered end of the screen.. It serves no function other than to look good... But what it does is stop tempered glass protectors from covering the complete screen since they've not (contrary to mnm372) developed the process to adhere the curved glass protector to the screen.. The coloured tops and bottoms he mentioned are to hide the glue.. They can only glue them on in the 4 corners... So far there has not been one good or favourable review of a curved tempered glass screen protector for the s6 or s7 edge.. They just don't make full contact with the screen.. I've tried 3 so far, all from different manufacturers, all applied by people that do this for a living (I'm not good at it).. All were a failure.
3) What I said was, I was considering an S6 flat version just so I can have a small but powerful flagship phone with a tempered glass screen protector.
You're referring to such products as Crystalusion, I do in fact have a packet in front of me right now.. But i can assure you it's not the same as a tempered glass protector.
Sure, it's touted to protect your screen against normal use, scratches, abrasive marks.. Even bacteria.. However on my nexus 4, it didn't stop the screen from cracking when it was dropped.
A tempered glass protector did exactly what it was supposed to do when my Z3 was knocked off a table.. It broke the tempered glass and protected the screen underneath 100%...that's its job.
My pet hate or pet peeve, people that can't or don't read... Next time read and comprehend.
Consider this your written spanking for not reading before replying.
Poll... Will you put a case on this awesome looking/feeling phone?
Yes, without one I'll lose resale value. I only keep my phones for 8-12 months and then sell them on to get something else. I want it in perfect condition. I'll probably sell next year and get the 2018 Oneplus device.
I do care about look and feel though, only got a thin Spigen case. I'll use it without sometimes, when at home.
I'm just using a skin and maybe a screen protector.
Most likely make.... Maybe a skin and only occasionally in a case.

Case. The phone is strong front and back and does not bend easily- however the corners are vunerable to breakage- spreading to other parts of the phone. Luckily, good cases can easily protect against this vulnerability.

I will spend $60 on a square trade warranty.

Haven't decided between naked, a skin or ultra thin case. I have a Caudabe slim on my iPhone 7+ (https://www.caudabe.com/products/the-veil-xt-iphone-7-plus?variant=29855290116) and would love that on this. My LG G6 goes naked.
Like buying a 800$ phone and NOT protecting it? I know too many people who damaged their high end phone because of saving on the case...
I will more than likely have a dbrand skin on the back and screen protector on the front, or, no screen protector and a pocket sleeve. The slim cases are such a joke to me, more for grip than anything.. most phones that fall on the corner onto a hard surface is still going to end up with a blemish/dent , probably enough to annoy you and call insurance and request a replacement anyways.. No slim/air case protects the glass, at that point you would need a screen protector and the only way to really protect that is with a glass one, and we all know how that fiasco worked with the s7 edge and note 7...
I ordered the clear spigen ultra hybrid and plan on using it with nothing else as of yet. I'll wait until I can find a screen protector that doesn't change the feeling of the screen.
Not going with a skin right away because the color (Orchid Gray) was really the reason why I fell in love with the S8, and a skin on the back kind of ruins that for me.
Comparing the ultra hybrid to my old S6, it is literally 1mm wider than a case-less S6.
I never had a case on any of my phones and none suffered any type of physical damage. I guess it depends on the person and in general how you handle your belongings

I bought the same case, but the Black bumper version (since I got the black S8) instead of the all clear version. Got it in the mail a few days ago, and its perfect. Not thick, and feels great. I won't get a screen protector since I like my screens naked
Definitely a case. I usually have 3 or 4 different ones. One hard plastic, very thin case. These are super slim but offer the least protection. One or two different TPU cases. Again, I will go slimmer, but these will be my daily drivers so I want some corner protection. I look for TPU cases that come up a bit higher on the curved edges - the curved edges are the most vulnerable part of these edge phones plus it helps lessen accidental edge touches (although I turn off all edge features anyway). Lastly I will look for a sturdier otterbox type case. One of my businesses I am a contractor/builder and having a real sturdy (yes bulkier) case is needed in this setting. I only use a case like this while on the job site though.
I have yet to see a decent tempered screen protector for edge screens. Couldn't find one for my note 7 or S7E. I will be using a full body wrap that is actually meant for the Samsung Note 8 tablet. It is a softer, clear screen protector but since it is bigger it will wrap around the whole phone. I cut it down to length of course to fit. But since it wrap around the whole phone it stays on with any case. The ones that are made to cover the entire display right to the bottom of the curved edge alway peel. So having a full body wrap screen protector is the best option IMO.
Will protect this beauty with a few different cases...
Yep, with my clumsy-ass self, I need one or else my phone will end up in crappy condition. And if I have a good case, I can retain its resale value as well. If my mom wasn't taking my S6, I'd sell it. Gonna get a few cases, depending on where I'm gonna be going. A thinner one for daily use and a thicker one if I'm doing things where I'd need more protection, like if I go hiking, or if I wanna carry as little as possible.
I hate cases, especially on such a pretty color like the orchid grey, but I already have my spigen air hybrid on hand because my S6 too often has liked to literally jump out of my hand.

no doubt. i guess a lot of people have expendable income.
I already got my Spigen Neo Hybrid. I'll buy a Spigen slimarmor case and a clear case after I get my S8+. I will probably buy more but not right away. Envoy caseology case. And I will get a screen protector, when I find a good one or if I find a good one.

Is anyone has this problem with their new Samsung s8? I had noticed that the gap is quite bigger than the others s8 (compare to second one that I ordered, and the units displays in bestbuy) and it gather quite some dust in the gap after only one day of use.
I ordered to samsung.com and the color is Black. So if I want to exchage the unit what options do I have ? Any input is welcome, thanks

My S8 plus' glass and metal frame meet together without any gap. No doubt, I'd exchange before the return period is over.
mine has a gap in the back glass. i noticed something sharp and realized the glassh is not perfectly aligned with the metal frame! damn it! i can even push the glass.
The flexible and curved screen technologies came out a few years ago, but there wasn't much practical use for them. These were solutions waiting for problems. That's cool. Even the giant curved screen TVs that came out since then seem to be useful only if you plan on viewing the TV from a four meter distance. That makes sense.
But the Galaxy Edge screen? "Uhhhhhh, okay, it's cute, but can we move along now?"
People seem to love their Galaxy Edge screens, but I honestly don't get it -- at all! I'm definitely a function-over-form kind of guy, and so I don't want the edges of my screen wraping around the sides of the device and facing away from me. Because this is less than optimal design, it actually looks ugly to me. So, it seems it's only function is to be a gimmick to sell more product to people who are more form-over-function than function-over-form.
This is my opinion, and other opinions may differ.
So now that Samsung is not offering their new Galaxy devices without the Edge wrap-around screens, I won't be buying them until they bring back the flat screens.
Are there some other practical uses for the screen wrapping around half of the device's side? And are these uses worth the trade off of sacrificing pixels that face you when viewing your screen normally?
If Samsung really must continue the gimmick I hope they get wise and bring back totally flat screen as a Galaxy product option.
That's my feelings, but what do others think about curved edges vs flat?
Really don't like curved edges either, I think it looks nice but functionally I'd just prefer flat. Also makes cases weird as they have to cut around the curved sides.
Gimmick I personally HATE curved displays. You can't fully protect it with tempered glass. There are curved ones but those have glue only on the edges not whole panel. It also gives ugly light reflexes. I believe that was designed to eliminate decent screen protection and make devices less shatter proof. I hope there will be flat Galaxy S9 if not i will probably (sadly) abandon samsung. 2,5D is a BS also
gimmick, i hate it. hard to protect with case, makes replacement screen more expensive too
