Im looking for thin and grippy black tpu case for my S7 but couldnt find many decent ones. I have Spigen rugged armor but its too slippery, maybe glossy surface would be better? Any one bought Olixar flexishield? It looks nice but I wanted to know if buttons works as they should.

For a thin grippy (matte) TPU case, the Diztronic is excellent - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BDWIOJW?keywords=diztronic s7&qid=1458621427&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] vesu:
Thanks, I used to have one on my nexus 5 and it was great case. I might buy one for s7 too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] f308gt4:
Agree, I've had Diztronic cases on most of my prior Galaxy phones, and just got mine for my S7. Great cases.

Is it tempered glass or screen protector film that you have used on phone? Cos classical tempered glasses doesn't cover screen but yours do:confused:

I have the ultra hybrid.... spigen and it's sooooo slippery

Seidio Active cases and Holster are finally available for order from Seidio's Website. I've already ordered one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] seedubya:
I just got the tech21 evo wallet case. Its has a great feel and looks sharp. Its not for all occasions but definitely a good case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] f308gt4:
It's a tempered glass protector that I got from the Verizon store. It's OK, but lots of halo at the edges.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] dzaster89:
I don't like to lose the style of the phone when I use a case so I'm always on the lookout for the thinnest case possible with enough protection all around. I usually do all my case shopping on amazon and went through two "name brand" cases until i found what I was looking for. I decided to try the calicase as it was one of the thinnest listed on amazon. I received it earlier today and I soon as I opened it I knew this was the case for me. I went with the clear black which has a nice matte texture to it so the device doesn't feel as slippery. All the cutouts are spot on and I have not had a problem with button feel or plugging in headphones/usb cable. Case is unbelievably thin but manages to have enough protection for the S7's protruding camera. Screen appears to be flush with the lip on the front of the case so it should prevent lint buildup around the edges. I have no complaints about this case and for my usage it is perfect! So if you're like me and just want a minimal case with all around protection then definitely give this one a try. I will post pics when I get the chance.

I am happy with the UAG. I drop phones often and have never sustained damage when covered by UAG. I stick to what works.

Thin is cool, but not for butterfingers like me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] peachpuff:
Can you post some pics of that case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] stere0xide:
VRS Design (formerly Verus) sent us some cases to review, the High Pro Shield, Triple Mixx and the Damda Clip. The Triple Mixx is my favourite of the three.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xxaarraa:
Yes, I would like to see pictures too. Though I just ordered one on amazon myself after seeing your post. So far I have tried 3 really thin cases and like all of them, but none are perfect. The thin hard case I am using now is the bomea and while I like it a lot, it has no protection for the corners, so the one you posted seems promising.

BTW, this is the most fragile phone I have used in years. I dropped the S7 the other day while working in the garage - it was on my motorcycle's seat and fell over from about 4 feet. The bomea case did its job but the top corner front glass (same plane as the samsung logo) cracked right at the edge. Without a case I imagine it would have been much worse, but the lack of corner protection on the bomea has me slightly worried. I have not had a case on any phone in my life and they have all held up to everyday drops and nicks fine. I don't think the S7 is going to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] dzaster89:
Pictures of calicase as promised.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] vesu:
Looks really nice, thanks for pics. Btw how grippy it is? Too bad no international shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Devhux:
Agreed. I'm in Canada and am looking for a decent slim case. Also, one that's easy to remove for when I want to use GearVR.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] dzaster89:
Definitely feels a lot safer to hold and put down on any surface. That being said it's not as grippy as a tpu case.

The only other thin case I can recommend from experience is the ringke slim. It's not as thin as this one but offers decent all around protection.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] barondebxl:
This is the grippiest case ever! Got one for my lumia 640, feels so good in hand.

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

I'm on the fence between this and a UAG case. Thoughts??
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] peachpuff:
This one doesn't have much grip really, its still a bit slippery but better than without one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] barondebxl:
Thanks bud. I'll go with the uag one

Zagg shield is the best
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] scott14719:
Received my Seidio Active case / holster combo today and I think it is awesome. The same great quality and fit that you can expect from Seidio. They added a very thin TPU inner lining and the slide together outer shell. That's different from my S4 Active case, but it works great. Same type of holster as previous. All in all...pretty nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] hoangtu2410:
got the Nillkin Defender today , perfect for me
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] mehtamitul:
Ordered Otterbox Commuter since Zagg Shield is not available in India
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xxaarraa:
OK after I saw your suggestion, I went and ordered the cali case and put it on today. One word: WOW! Thanks for the brilliant suggestion.

This is without doubt the thinnest full coverage case I have seen. I have tried 4 different TPU/hard cases for the S7 and this one beats them all. Cases have come a long way since my old 2012 iphone days, wow.

The only downside I saw was the slight slippery nature of the matte finish. I had a slickwraps decal set laying around so I decided to put it on top of the case instead of the phone. I also had a really small crack on the top glass near the edge (parallel to the samsung logo) so I put on the slickwrap decal on the front of the phone too, to cover it up (I usually don't put it on the front). I like the grippiness that the cf decals add and the case is quite literally almost not there. Very happy with this setup and will be giving cali a search every time I switch phones (for the S7 mini up next).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] dzaster89:
[MENTION=1134447]xxaarraa[/MENTION] glad you liked it, and I agree it could be a bit more grippy. Might actually try out your suggestion and wrap it with a skin.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] kutulu32:
The default clear one "designed by samsung" is very nice i use it from day one.

grip is bery good and the protection it gives is ok i think.

Anyone know of a case that works with the Gear VR? My Spigen Thin Fit Matte doesn't fit with phone in the Gear VR, would love to have one that did.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Naemion:
None do due to the arm where it attaches it designed to accept a bare phone and no case leaves the bottom unprotected.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xxaarraa:
Bomea case leaves the bottom open and I can confirm it works with gear VR.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Naemion:
I stand corrected.

This case works well with Gear VR (I thought it was working well with VR but I was wrong, it doesn't fit):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/141911263388

It doesn't protect phone well but it looks good on phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] johnusesandroid:
just curious, how crucial are cases for this phone? my last two phones (motorola atrix 4g and htc one m7) didn't have cases and only had full body skins (zagg/skinomi). I've dropped them a couple of times lightly on carpet or on the sofa/bed but I've never had any problems with damaging them.

is the S7 more fragile and would require to have a case?

reason I'm asking, I keep the phone in my pocket. my htc one m7 is just the right size, any bigger and it would be too bulky for my pocket. I believe the S7 is just a tad longer and wider, but I think I can still fit it nicely in my pocket. but I'm worried that getting a case for it would make it too bulky, or if I don't get a case I might end up damaging it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] jcdrummr:
Oooops. This is why your Galaxy S7 needs a case This should answer your question.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] elijahblake:
as someone that just dropped their phone yesterday (possibly less than a foot) and it wasn't a just flat out drop it was like a slow slip from my hand. I had the spigen slim case, and my aluminum on the bottom got gashed. I am really surprised at the amount of damage for such a slight fall.

So long story short, YES this phone needs a case. And I recommend getting one that atleast covers all sides.

or your phone could look like this https://goo.gl/photos/UcWFdpmQNF7nQ5dk8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xxaarraa:
Yes s7 is way more fragile than other phones. As person above me said case that covers all sides is a necessity. I recommend Cali case or bomea if your a low profile / no case guy or gal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] liteon163:
I just bought an Obliq Slim Meta case for my S7 and I am VERY impressed with it. It's snug and feels tough while looking great. It's reasonably slim for a dual layer case, too.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] sprog123:
Is it actually matte finish, or is it smooth/glossy with very subtle dot pattern? I also got one of the Nillkin Nature cases (advertised as smooth/glossy), and only the sides are "matte" for some grip and the back is translucent smooth. I have used other Nillkin cases in the past which were truly matte and I really liked them, so I'd be interested in this one if it was actually matte. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Blues fan:
The Otterbox Defender is probably the best protective case for the S7 right now and I plan on sticking with it. I might buy the Poetic Revolution case when it comes out next month. I had it for the s6 and Note5 and they're great heavy duty cases.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] welcomyou:
Have you ever dropped your phone in this thin case? Is it hard or soft enough for you to believe your phone is protected well?

And does it cover the camera too?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Demigod121:
Otterbox...

It's pretty much Otterbox if it's available. I've had quite a few phones and when I've had an Otterbox case I've always felt it was protected. Def recommend it if you don't mind the bulk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] peachpuff:
Here are some of the cases i got from ebay. Dont mind the screen protector, its coming off as soon as the "full screen" one comes in :)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/28194044203...49&var=580911782810&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Pretty nice case, almost looks like the g4, but its nowhere near real stitching. The stitching does add some grip though but its not as grippy as i'd like it to be.

Swiping from the sides to access menu's is very difficult, doesn't fit in the gearvr.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/18203505896...49&var=482778720561&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Kinda looks like the s5 so im not sure why i bought it, but it did arrive in 2 weeks while the other 2 cases arrived in 7 weeks. Again not as grippy as i'd like a case to be, doesn't fit in the gear vr at all and issues with swipe ins from the sides.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/291687582792?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Super duper slim case, barely feels like you have a case at all. No lips on the sides so swipe ins from the side are just like without a case. Doesn't seem to offer much protection though but the grip is much better than the other cases, and if your hands are sweaty it offers tons of grip. There's no protection for the rear camera, the case is almost flush with the lens, that's how thin it is. It almost fits in the gear vr, with some minor trimming of the plastic on the gearvr im sure i'll get it to fit.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xxaarraa:
I did drop the phone once with this case on. It held up well. Though I can't speak to whether it will hold up well in all instances.

I think of thin cases as better than nothing. I don't count on them saving the phone 100% of the time. That's why I also carry insurance.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Blues fan:
Except the screen protectors suck. Now the S7 screen protector does respond and fits a lot tighter than previous ones though so I have not bought a tempered glass one as of yet.

The Poetic Revolution is another one on par. It is not out yet for the S7 but I had it for the s6 and Note 5 and it's top notch and the built in protector was just as good as tempered glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] omeryounos:
Spigen liquid crystal case...perfect balance between form and protection. Really snug fit and not overly thick.

​

They come in either PU Leather or genuine leather, and can usually be had for under ten bucks on ebay or in kiosk shops. (for the S7 Spigen even makes a real leather one for around $15 US) They make the phones damned-near drop-proof. Sure they don't have nifty features like magnetic chips for the cover-sensor, peek windows, or compatibility with a wireless charger, but for under ten bucks they provide great protection and multi-function utility while taking a beating, and usually you can find the PU ones with all sorts of graphic covers. I've even got one on my Fire 7" tablet, though that replaces the card-slots with an elastic hand-strap for holding while reading.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xmeatizmurderx:
IMO otterbox is outdated technology and makes the phone feel like cheap plastic. I've been using the tech 21 cases on my note 5 and now s7, they have never failed me from falls onto concrete and they are very slim.

Got the official leather cover today for my S7, it looks anf feel fantastic in the hand and it fits really nice on the phone, high quality.

Only bad thing is that it's a lot more slippery compared to just the naked phone.

Thanks for the review and pics! I have sweaty hands so I need grip! I'm ordering this case now. Can't go wrong for 1USD :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] RebDovid:
Could you, please, explain what makes Otterbox "outdated technology"? Also, are you saying that Otterbox doesn't protect or just that tech21 is more protective?

Personally, I have an Otterbox Symmetry on my S7. I was very interested in the tech 21, precisely because of claims regarding its new material. But a number of reviews say that the material stretches with time, making the case loose-fitting. What's been your experience over what period of time?

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] xmeatizmurderx:
I find otterbox outdated because they use the same hard plastic and silicone that they have been using for about 10 years which were the only options before people started developing materials specifically for cell phone cases, my co workers swear by tech 21 for their iphones and I've seen them use them for 2+ years with 0 issues. I have never seen them stretch personally, but if you are constantly pulling at them I could see that happening. I used one on my note 5 and now s7 which both phones I have dropped onto concrete and rocks , face down, my s7 even fell out during a go kart race and got run over several times and I have 0 blemishes on my phones. Plus I hate how bulky otterbox is, it makes the phone look and feel like a blackberry circa 2005
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] liteon163:
The titanium space grey Obliq Slim Meta case ($17.54 on Amazon) is still working quite well, but I wanted a change so I ordered another Obliq case. This time I got an espresso Flex Pro ($11.99 on Amazon). It's a leather-looking TPU case that feels even better than the Slim Meta.

I like having a dual layer case and a TPU case on hand for various situations. These are my idea two thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] konoplya:
i purchased Otterbox Symmetry (http://www.amazon.com/OtterBox-SYMM...1461121482&sr=8-2&keywords=symmetry+galaxy+s7) from Walmart out of all places and it was $34 which is cheaper by 6 bucks than Amazon and no shipping charges (obviously). Had this case for about a month and i love it. its very sturdy and doesn't feel cheap. its also not as bulky as other Otterbox cases i've seen. it also doesn't slip out of my hands like other cases. it is not as rounded as some other ones on the edges so it gives you extra grip. my hands are medium size at best and the top edge of the case is actually rubbery plastic so it provides pretty decent grip. i'm gonna put some thin strips of guntape GT-5000 on the bottom for even extra gripping (this stuff is amazing btw). but go to walmart and check out that case, its pretty legit imo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Anbu7elite:
I have the unicorn beetle series from amazon, it works really great and you can add your own screen protector too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Blues fan:
got mine in the mail today. The screen protector built in is great compared to Otterbox. However the case is a bit thin for me and the phone is kind of small for me to grip. I might go back to the defender and wait until a good tempered glass comes out that doesn't lift up around the edges or have Halo. Zagg is the best but they are having issues with it right now.

I picked up the Carbon and Espresso versions, they don't add much bulk to the phone and appear that they would offer decent protection from drops.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Hawkhell:
I use the Unicorn beet pro and I love it. I bought a few other cases like one from casology and the Spigen neohybrid but those cases come off easily taking in and out of pocket. I don't use wireless charging but I do have a charging pad and it says its charging when I put my phone on it while in the case.

The case having the front bumpers is protection I want. Plus it makes handling the phone easier. Plus I use a magnet hold for my phone. Its helpful to have magnet holders strategically placed around my house and work.

I have the same case, dropped it 2 days ago about 4ft onto hardwood floor. The phone flat out hit the ground I was a bit scared but the case did its job. No scratches, no dents and no cracks to the glass. I will be more careful from now on but at least I know my device is safe.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] iridaki:
I have the Tech21 Evo Wallet on mine since day 1 (mind you, that was 2 days ago! :D).

Fits well with my Zagg screen protector and looks sleek, but that's really down to personal preference. I know wallet cases are not everyone's cup of tea.

In terms of protection, I've already dropped it, albeit from the sofa to the carpet so I don't think I've tested the case on a serious impact. But the reputation tech21 one has in terms of durability is good so that gives me some peace of mind.

It is a bit pricey, I happened to get it 40% off using a staff discount, but now that I own it I think I would even pay full price for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Skywalker909:
I use UAG black.

Fantastic case, very sturdy, grippy, looks cool and feels like it offers good protection against drops at the same time it's not too bulky. A bit expensive at full price.

My second choice would be a simple smoke gel case. Improves grip and handling and offers minimum protection vs scratches

I also have Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Absolute rubbish. Putting aside aesthetics which are subjective. The case is cheaply made and poorly designed (thin and slippery plastic offering little protection, power button gets pressed if you apply pressure next to case's power button, very slippery) . This is my 2nd Spigen case. Both are a joke. Will never waste my money on Spigen products again. Mind boggling why their cases are popular, I presume that Spigen puts marketing and branding over other things.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] drrobo:
I got the rock moost Royce series case. $10 from amazon, perfect combination of thinness, protection and style. Matte rubbery back so it gives it some grip, and a raised lip to protect the screen. My favorite case so far by miles.
