They work well, but keep in mind they don't completely cover the front of the phone. So far these are the best plastic ones I've found because they work with all of my cases except for one, and they seem to hold up relatively well over time. I think for $10 they're worth it unless you can find a better option in which case please let me know. I've tried so many plastic ones already that I'm just sticking with one I know works rather than go through the trial and error process again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
You think they would go well with my tech 21 Evo frame case?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I have the tech 21 Evo Frame so I could check and see. From what I recall they do, but I need to get some from my local store to verify that for you.

Thanks, Pilz

No problem, I'll head over there tomorrow, or Wednesday depending on when I get time.

On another note I recent got the Incipio Performance Level 3 case which will have a review up shortly
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Awesome, dude. I'm debating because I bought an Armor Shield or whatever on [edit]: Amazon (wet install), but was wondering if I should go to Verizon Store. I really want to use my Tech 21 evo case.

ONYX VZ S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Currently I'm using th iCarez since I forgot I had one laying around, but the install while perfect still has a corner that won't stick. I'm just waiting for the VZW ones still but other than that it's really hard to find a good one without buying a ton of them
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kompisPL:
so ive got 2 now Speck Candyshell , thanks Pilz for help to choose best case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
How do you like them? I now have a very close second for my favorite (non-bulky head-duty case) which I'll add a review of tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kompisPL:
For me its perfect. Awesome design, best grip, military drop protection, very responsive buttons. The black version i use at work, the white one for normal/everyday use. What brand is your new case?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] BanziBaby:
Got my candyshell grip black & grey delivered yesterday & it one of the best cases I have ever had on a phone. It's slightly bulkier than my spigen neo hybrid & rugged armour but I think it has more protection than both of those. The rubber strips on the back really help with grip. Many thank Pilz, if it wasn't for your review I wouldn't have knew about the case at all :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kompisPL:
Can you show the new case on video? Looks nice, why not Overall: 10 ? :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
No case is perfect, therefore none will ever get a 10. I don't think anything is truly perfect, although some cases came come close, there's always a small thing or two objectively that will keep it from the perfect 10. I will do a hands on after my finals next week unless I get some free time before then.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] czarny1910:
Pilz, did you hear about Nevox Carbon? It looks interesting (so much!) ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Machine_Head:
Pilz, among the clear back cases, which one is your favorite? How does the Spigen Liquid Crystal compare to the Tech21 Evo Frame in terms of bulkiness?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Nope, do you have a link?

Spigen Liquid Crystal isn't a case intended to protect your phone from drops in my opinion. The case is super thin, thus would be best just for scratch protection or very very small drops (on carpet). The Tech 21 EVO frame is a true drop tested durable case that is slim; the down side of the Tech 21 is how it can be quite slippery. I would use the Tech 21 over the Spigen liquid any day for drops, or just daily because I like it.

I don't have a favorite clear case, but the Supcase and Diztronic are the top two if I had to pick.

Edit: I forgot to also mention what would be my top pick: Incipio Octane (not sure how I forgot about it when it was one my phone today)

They don't seem to care if these sell or not, because there's no obvious place to see the price, or buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Pilz, I'm sporting the Tech 21 evo right now along with the armor suit case friendly. What would be your top 5 cases, and if you had two cases to choose, which would you choose?

VZ S7 EDGE ONYX
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Top 5 as of right now:

1. Speck Candyshell Grip

2. Incipio Performance Level 3

3. Spigen Rugged Armor

4. Incipio Octane

5. Tech 21 EVO Frame

My two picks would be the Speck, and Incipio Octane; one case (Speck) would be for more outdoors use, while the Incipio Octane is a nice frosted clear case for those other times when I want something smaller.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Incipio Performance Level 3............Never even heard of this one. :confused:

Is the only difference between level 3 and 4 the belt clip?

Just read your review. Can you post a picture showing the case without the phone in it?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Machine_Head:
Thanks Pilz, thats great help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
They announced them at CES this year from what I remember as an alternative to what Otterbox offers but in a broader lineup. I didn't know they made them up to a level 5 (not for the S7 Edge, but they do have it for the S7). The level 4 seems to offer more drop protection than the 3 in addition to the belt clip (design is slightly different as well).

Here is an article I found from CES talking about their cases (when they were announced) Since this line is brand new I wanted to try it seeing how no one else even really knew it existed from what I could tell.

I can take a picture of just the case tonight hopefully, if not then tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Are they a one piece case? I sure would love to try one. My wife spanked me and I promised no more cases for a while. Might have to break the pack and order one up. :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Yes it's a 1 piece case that seems rather durable so far :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] themissionimpossible:
I agree, IMHO Spigen Rugged Armor is better (and cheaper) than the Tech21 Evo Frame.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I mainly like it for the simplicity, but if Diztronic made a generic TPU it would knock Spigen off my top 5 list in a second :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Pilz, no interest in the Ballistic buffalo leather case? I got one and while it's a nice case, it's nothing more then a fancy rubber slip cover with padded corners.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Lol. I get afraid or nervous if my wife finds out i bought another case lol. I do sell some, though.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] czarny1910:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Samsung-Gala...211548?hash=item1a11f1d6dc:g:4acAAOSwhDdXENKW

Some online shops in Poland selling it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
The last ballistic case I had was for the S4, and it stretched out a lot over time. I haven't bought once since that bad experience even though they switched from silicon to TPU during that time. I looked at the case, and it just seems like a normal TPU case with a textured back made to look like leather as you mentioned. I don't think it's worth the $18 on Amazon the last I checked given how my Rugged Armor is likely just as good for the $5 I paid for it. If the case brought something else interesting to the table, then I would most likely buy it. I'm toward the end of my "collection" of cases for this particular phone aside from some I've had on order for a while like the Lens Cover, but I might change my mind if I don't pick up the HTC10 and sell my S7 Edge.

I thought about it back Trident first listed the case for pre-order, but it lacks any real advantage over any of my similar ones now. I'm not a fan of how they wrap the case around the top corners, since that is what kept me away initially.

For ~$91 I would rather buy the lens cover like I did. I don't see how a carbon fiber case is so expensive becasue there are other companies out there using real carbon fiber just like that case at 1/3 the cost. I do really like carbon fiber, yet I don't like it for $91 especially given the other options out there.

Hey Pilz,

Great review of the Rugged Armor Case! I picked one up for my edge, but I find that when using the case with a dbrand skin on the case feels much tighter, and the power button becomes less responsive to push. Do you notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I've noticed that with some of my other cases, but not the rugged armor. For example my Tech 21 has issues with the buttons when you're using a skin, but I've only noticed this on a few cases not all of them
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kompisPL:
Hello Pilz where did you buy Incipio Performance level 3? on official store?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Yes, I bought it directly from them; you can get 15% off if you click the side bar too.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Pilz, what screen protector are you using now? Any Verizon 3 pack install videos?

Is the back of the Performance Level 3 hard like the Symmetry or Commuter cases? Does it slide easy while laying on it's back or does it have some grip?

Can you post a picture showing the inside of this case without the phone in it? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] kompisPL:
i would like to try one of this Incipio Performance cases, but still dont know wich one level 3 or level 4 ( Coming Soon!) ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Wonder why the camera cutout is much larger on the 4 than the 3?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] oxxshadow:
do you think using a phone like this be damage it in the future? I only use a case when I go somewhere I feel I would need more protection than skin, otherwise its out of the case . I am worried the buttons might get damaged
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Icarez but it has issue sticking since the VZW store by me is still out of stock. I'm patiently waiting for them to get some more otherwise I'll have to find a better alternative at some point.

Yes it's a hard case like the symmetry with no more grip than a tpu case, so it does slide around.

Well it's a glass phone so yes you want a case, and screen protector. Personally if you just use a skin then you're going to have a bad time if you drop the phone. Basically you're better off getting a case and skin if you don't want to worry about dirty getting into the case and scratching your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] oxxshadow:
haha yea, I was asking about using a skin and a case would damage the phone since the power button requires more pressure to press
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It hasn't damaged any phone that I've used the combo on (LG G3_ Nexus 6, Moto X 2014, Nexus 6P and of course the S7 Edge) so I don't think it will over time unless other factors are at play
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:

That's their pre-order which has been up for a while. I'm sure if you call them they will have a better estimate.

Thanks. Is that back interior the same hard shell as the outside ? I believe the level 4 series has the rubbery honeycomb interior.

https://www.seidioonline.com/shop/?device=s7-edge&style=
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm not sure, it depends on what I'm doing, and if I will need a case with that much protection. I'm sure it will be bulkier than the 3 (I still need to measure it's dimensions too)

After the pile of garbage Seidio made for the Nexus 6P I'm not going to buy anything from them for the foreseeable future.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] BlurrOVO:
I second the Spigen Thin Fit review, it's a very nice back case and I'm glad I purchased it. I agree with the fact that it may not be the best for protection, but it's better than no case and it obviously keeps it free of scratches and dirt
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Pilz, I don't want to fork out lots of money for the Tech 21 Evo Wallet, although I could have bought it for 15 bucks at one point. But since the S6 Edge Plus is also a 5.7 Display, do you think the Tech 21 Wallet Case for the S6 edge plus would fit my S7 Edge?

I've never heard of them before, so I can't speak to the quality of the case. One thing I've learned is that listings can at times be deceiving, or great it's really a giant crap shoot. The only real way to know is find someone whose bought from them before, or bite the bullet and try it yourself.

Tech21 screwed up on the EVO Frame. I was once a staunch supporter of Tech21.

But no grip on this expensive case for an expensive - and delicate - device cannot be excused.

Total screw up !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
I was wondering if I should get the Tech 21 wallet case, a Valkrie cheap one that is the same design as the Tech 21 evo wallet, or the Strada. When i saw my friend's tech 21 wallet case for his iphone 6s plus or 6 plus, i wanted or liked it. But his case just closes and doesnt wrap around like the Tech 21 wallet case for the s7 edge. The closest to that Iphone 6s plus or 6 plus tech 21 wallet case is the Otterbox strada, which I ordered/bought online for less than 37 bucks with taxes (36.41)

I'm happy to make more quick videos since I'm done with school until the fall when I start my MS. The level 3 is a great case for what it is, but no case is truly perfect. I find myself using the Level 3, Speck, and SpigenRA the most, but I would use the thin fit too if skins didn't interfere with it
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bajasur:
I can honestly say this Pelican Case I got is one of the best cases I've ever had. It fits the device perfectly and has a nice lip on the top and bottom in case dropped face down
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I briefly saw the case at an AT&T store, but I didn't get a chance to really play with it. I'll have to head over there and possibly get one while I wait for T-Mobile to launch the HTC10 so I can get one
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bajasur:
It is an awesome case for sure, I'm starting to wish I would have waited for the M10!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm not a fan of small phones, but people want me to get one and I'm fine with that. I'll still have my S7 Edge and Nexus 6P for the foreseeable future as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] oxxshadow:
do the other phones you use a skin and a case on damage have the issue where the skin makes the phone case feel tighter and the buttons are less tactile as well? hopefully it does not damage the phone in any way
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It depends on the phone, my Nexus 6P only has that issue with 1 case, and none of my other phones had that issue before. I've never had any device get damaged from using the skin/case combo, so everyone's experiences might vary.

Sorry yes that's what I meant. Thanks. I've stopped looking for screen protectors now I have the zagg but most cases cause it to lift
