Phone is too slippy

I find the phone very slippy particularly when trying to press the buttons on the sides.
I'm about to order a cheap silicone case from ebay to see if that helps but these tend to add quite a bit of size to the devices which is never welcome to such a big device.
Does anyone know of any stick on protection that will offer a bit more purchase? Does the Zagg invisible shield help in that matter?

The phone fell from me about three times on asphalt... the phone screen didn't scratch yet for me the damage was absorbed by the silver coat framing. Till now its very micro and small.. I tried to find a leather casing for the phone.. but with no luck in my area.

Ebay in the UK are listing leather cases if that helps.

I ordered one of these, should get it in a few days and hopefully will be a bit grippier (is that a real word?)

Where'd you order from? Looks good.

next is a Desk Mate Leather Case for 9.95 and free shipping
i know body glove is a good one but the desk mate looks like it would offer more protection...
please let me know what yall think
Thanks

Personally, I prefer Desk Mate model. Another one seems huge and a little ugly.

yea i agree thats what im gonna get
Thanks

Desk mate looks classy, I've been thinking about getting a case myself and at 10 bucks I'm going to get that one for myself.

I dont have the body glove, but a similar chinese knock-off from ebay. A note about those cases.. they do offer a good tight protection without much more thickness and weight to the device, but I find it awkward to use the slider on sense roms with that case. Its always a little difficult to slide to the home or settings tab because typically your thumb slides right off the side of the screen. While the ridge on the side of the case prevents your thumb from doing this.
I like the design of the deskmate as opposed to other leather cases, but Ive never been a fan of leather cases in general, a little too bulky for my taste. (I put my phone in my pocket, not on my belt).

I personally would suggest the bodyguardz or invisible skin protection. It doesn't add another inch bulk on the phone and it keeps the look of the phone.

very nice collection,
i like the desk stand cover

How I Fixed My Chrome Bezel After it Was Destroyed

I've dropped my phone a few times and doing so messed up the chrome bezzel pretty badly. I didn't take before photos like I should have but I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. I had bought a carbon fiber vinyl to wrap my GearS Watch Band with. It was a decent size sheet and I have more left but after I did the watch band I decided to wrap my phone battery cover. Thats when I decided to do the bezel as well. Took a bit of time and was tedious but it looks great and I wanted to share with everyone. Maybe this could be an idea for others. Used an Xacto Knife and a Hair Drier.

It looks ugly
The phone looks ugly in this wrapping. Better re-paint the bezel (if possible) lol !
I have never used any cover for phone. I use my S5 carefully and it's bezel perfectly fine. And I have been using S5 for 15 months now

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I've had mine since June but have dropped it quite a few times (guess I'm careless) I love the way it looks and everyone around me that has seen it ip has me liked it. I thought about buying a new bezel but it would be to much to take the phone apart and I had the extra vinyl laying around. Although it would be cool to do because I'd like to swap the Nav Menu LEDs from white to red.

It looks awesome in the carbon fibre wrap [emoji1]

Debating the best case that protects the screen, but doesn't hinder the curve. Any suggestions

Get sammys s view or LED view. Had an s view on my note 4 and loved it. These are designed and add additional functionally to the phone by getting info and even snapping photos without opening the cover!

Obliq Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Case Naked Shield Series + Kickstand
http://obliqproduct.com/products/galaxy-cases/galaxy-s7-edge/obliq-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-case-naked-shield-series.html?a=92&i=2
My Note 4 died... this will be the first phone ever I´ll have in a case - to sell it, when Note 6 comes to Germany.
This case with the kickstand just looks good

I use a Spigen Slim Armour with the kickstand, it's pretty good and protects the edge on my S6 so I've got another one for my S7 edge. I picked up a Spigen crystal clear soft case for home.

Samsung Leather Case durability and Samsung warranty

Bought a Tan Note 10+ Leather case and just after a month's use, the case has so much wear off. I go very easy on my phones and cases with no keys or anything in the picket I keep the phone in.
I felt that this is not right and contacted Samsung and they said there is zero warranty on cases. How on earth can a premium $55 Samsung product has no warranty at all?
I understand the leather wearing but this doesn't look like wearing but a bad product quality when my tan leather turns black. Any ideas?

I remember this being an issue with many samsung leather cases, so i've never bothered getting one. Really disappointing. Can you check if your credit card has any protection options?

I think the color is painted on. I got the black one to avoid losing color.

I got the brown one and mine has got way way worse than that. Pretty disappointing

I'm using original Samsung case (silicone material), but leather is the same I think.. I have first one now, but I had 3 of them when I used Note 9. So quality and also protection is weak.. But you know, if you like it..

I have the red leather case and feel the corners are showing a lot of wear for less than 3 weeks worth of use. Phone is either in my hand or pocket. The corners have gotten darker as seen in the pic. I am okay with leather wearing, however I'm wondering if it will discolor unevenly or fade...
My old Note 9 has the brown leather flip cover and no issues, however that was a darker color in comparison. Pics attached.
