"Update: After using the case for a few weeks one of the outer shell "plextonium" corners started to become loose and pull away from the inner TPU. I contacted Incipio about this issue, and updated the overall review score."

Guys,

Guess what? I got a samsung clear case from a guy on offer up for 6 bucks. Not sure if its fake, but it does have the designed by Samsung letters on it. It's as minimalist as can be; I think its for looks and back scratch protection. But if its genuine, 6 bucks aint bad. Probably can resell it on ebay for more, if I dont keep i

What would you say is the better option between the UAG and the Spigen Slim Armor case?

I'm having a hard deciding between the two but this review is making me hesitant to grab the UAG while the Slim Armour is an unknown at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I still haven't forgotten, but I wanted to let you know. I haven't made a video in a while and I forgot how bad DSLR's are for filming things, so I had to get a tripod adapter for my other phone to make the video. It won't be here until Monday via Amazon. I couldn't find my old adapter otherwise I would've made the video earlier today like I planned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I don't have the Slim Armor, so I can't say definitively. However, if it's anything like their tough armor then that review should give you a little more insight into what you can expect. I did not like the UAG at all, and I've seen other members report issues with it arriving with scratches as well. I would avoid the UAG given how it completely changes how the phone feels in a bad way, and doesn't offer more protection than other smaller cases.

Here's my comments on the Slim Armour:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=66021409

Bear in mind I'm not a reviewer, but did compare it against the Neo Hybrid, Slim Fit, Rugged Armor and Tough Armor in store (which Pilz reviewed).

Btw, I'm still happily using the Slim armour.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I've owned the Slim Armor series for almost every phone (Note 3, G3, Nexus 6) I had where it was offered, but I couldn't justify $30 for it because that's getting into Ottterbox/Speck/Incipio territory which are all better at that price. I'm sure it's a good case for the money if it's less than $15

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AvivEliyahu:
Just got my spigen neo hybrid, seems pretty nice and feels very good in the hand. I don't know how well can it protect the back since it's a bit thin... Waiting to the rugged Armour to arrive
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Does it still suffer from the frame bowing outward as you can see in the OP? I don't see how they could fix that without redesigning a few things.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] cheesecactus:
Just got mine 3 days ago here in australia. Same problem, although i probably wouldnt have noticed or cared if it wasnt for your post lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Kaylee_12:
The frame on mine is nicely seated, and I'm wondering if it could be because I never separated it from the case part. I just left the frame on as it shipped. Wasn't any more difficult to than usual, and I can't find bowing or looseness.

My only wish so far is that they'd combine the attractive rim with the more protective ultra hybrid crystal case. Ultra Neo Hybrid. [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
Someone else posted here somewhere that you can't use any case w/the Gear VR...just won't fit. Interested to hear if that is correct or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I won't know until Samsung ships mine which could be this week or in a month for all I know. I'll see if I can borrow one from as friend and see which ones fit

Edit: I also bought 3 more Spigen cases during their sale today ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JaredC01:
Had the Neo Hybrid ordered and delivered before my phone arrived. I REALLY like this case... looking forward to your review on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
According to Amazon it will be here Tuesday. I bought it during Spigens flash sale for $5 so they probably ran out hence the small delay
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jez924:
I really am enjoying my Spigen Tough Armor Slim Case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JaredC01:
No worries, was just commenting on mine after I saw you had it ordered. Looking forward to the review!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It looks like Amazon shipped my crystal NeoHybrid and it will be here tomorrow. I'll post a review when it arrives :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Cst79:
Am I the only one that didn't find a case that keeps the phone's design lines intact ? All the cases I have seen seem to just ruin the design. I think I will have to go with an official case (although those too could be better)...all the others look like crap to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
No you're not alone. I really don't care that much but the one case that keeps the lines including the back curve to an extent is the expensive Tech 21 case. If you live by a BestBuy they sell it in store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Redflea:
I'm looking for a case that meets key attributes:

- Good grip...don't want to drop my phone, even in a case

- Good protection - keep the phone safe in average drops

- Clear (I have a silver S7E coming and would like to actually still see my phone when it's in the case)

- Easy access to buttons (cut-outs or covered are fine, just want the buttons to be easy to find by touch and easy to use)

- Slim/small profile - I use my phone one-handed a lot, I have relatively large hands but don't want to get a case that makes the phone bulky

Really appreciate your comments, Pilz (and others, of course) on which of the cases do the best job of combining those attributes. I haven't seen comments on one yet that seems to cover all these bases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lect1984:
Great post! Thanks!

I am very curious about the Verus Damda Clip case. It looks pretty thick - does it inhibit the use of NFC and MST for Android/Samsung pay? Also does wireless charging still work with this case? Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'm not sure yet, its on the way from Verus now. I will let you know how it works when it arrives next week since it just shipped out today.

Edit: I'm also adding the Otterbox Symmetry later today. I will say the case is interesting, but not without its issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JaredC01:
I think the Spigen Neo Hybrid crystal might fit the bill. I just ordered the crystal version for the Darth Vader skin I ordered, but I do currently have the standard neo hybrid and love it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] JeffreyNijnatten:
Whoaa thanks Pilz for your work! Very detailed!

I might go with the Spigen Thin fit, but the Neo Hybrid looks very promising :3 (maybe I wait for that one to release). hmm
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Mine got delayed until Tomorow (Amazon shipped it late), so you can expect the review then.

My NeoHybrid comes tomorrow now due to Amazon's error, but I'm adding some new reviews today :)

OP Updated:

-Otterbox Symmetry added

-overflow of content moved to post #2 because of character limits

-Updated the dimensions table to include the Otterbox Symmetry, and the Speck Candyshell: Now available (review will be up for this one tonight)

-Added section about wireless charging compatibility, updated some specs in it as well

Keep checking back for more updates!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] gtg465x:
I'm interested to see the Neo Hybrid review. I ordered the gunmetal color for my black S7 Edge, but it won't come until next week. It looks a lot more attractive than other medium protection cases to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I will let you know when it arrives. According to Amazon it will be here Tuesday still; thankfully my crystal NeoHybrid is arriving tomorrow :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] razorseal:
I might get a clear case for my off work days.

Right now I have a Spigen Lite Armor case and it's actually very nice. Great fitment and looks good. the only thing that annoys me are the flush buttons. since I'm new to this phone, I'm always trying to feel for the buttons, but can't find them because they're flush with the case!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Justin^Tan:
in all of this case you mentioned, does it bother the use of wireless charging, or samsung pay? do you need to take off the case or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Kapitein187:
I'm rocking the tech21 evo case, think it's a almost perfect case. Only the grip on the rear could have been better.

[MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION] Thinking about getting a Spigen liquid crystal case as an extra, when do you receive yours?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] RedDevils88:
just a quick question, will the rugged armor or VRS Design High Pro Shield peel off any SP ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It depends on your screen protector; I've had mild success with some E2E ones before they inevitable peeled off. My current screen protector is the el cheapo VZW one that surprisingly works great with 99% of my cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
I recommend the Samsung Clear case IF YOU'RE GOING OUT CASUALLY. SADLY, I was laying down and it hit the metal bed frame!! I didn't notice the damage until today. its a nice case because it doesn't interfere with screen protector, but its such a minimal protector case. should have kept my incipio case on. Ugh!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] felloffthetruck:
OUCH ! :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] robobub:
Mine also fits nice and not as bad as the OP. Maybe I could slide like half or a fourth of a card?

Also yeah I was expecting a hard back like the ultra hybrid

Also, update review. Incipio dual pro will hardly work with wireless charging. I have to take the case off to effectively charge it, but will work with my Case Mate Naked Tough case.

ONYX VZ S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
That's not true, mine worked perfectly with wireless charging, even my Stowaway works with wireless charging (tested with 5 wireless chargers). I've never had any issues with cases working with wireless charging other than the 1 Verus one I noted.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] George94pav:
Do you have the case mate naked tough case? If so, how is it on terms of looks and protection?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
it a decent look, the rubber that goes around the bezel is probably what absorbs the shock, everything else is probably PC (polycarbonate) plastic.

Just got the spigen liquid crystal case today, always hated tpu but thought I'd try to let the beauty shine through, and I'm loving this case tpu feels premium, fit and finish is excellent, has lay down protection front and back but slight rainbowing on back but it doesn't bother me happy with my purchase
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Machine_Head:
I bought the Liquid Crystal as well today. I agree it does feel premium. Also, this is more comfortable to use than the Neo Hybrid. When i type with my phone, i let the phone rest on my right pinky and use my 2 hands to type. The Neo Hybrid would dig into my pinky and after a long message, it would actually leave a red mark on my finger. The Liquid Crystal does not have this problem so one point won for the LC.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] jacobsensei:
Anyone try the dual layer Spartan from Cruzerlite?

There's like no action on Cruzerlite, which I thought was a good case company.

I notice the case is $20 on Amazon, but only $8 on their website, only takes PayPal.

???

Anyways, thanks for any insight.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
I guess it depends. I have a floreon (sp?) wireless car charger I bought on ebay for 15 bucks, and i think it charges with my incipio dual pro, but on my Samsung fast wireless charger, it has a hard time getting charged.

ONYX VZ S7 EDGE
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
That could simply be due to inefficneies in the charger and it not obeying the qi standard. I believe the qi standard states that a device should charge from a distance of 6mm coil to coil. That was the older standard which I'd imagine it uses, but the new one is 1.5inches from what I recall. I've tested the Dual Pro on the following qi chargers with 0 issues:

Choetech 3 coil 10W fast wireless charger

Choetech 10W single coil fast wireless charger

Samsung standard wireless charger (circular one)

Samsung fast charger (circular not the stand model)

Meenova Wireless charging stand

Since I've used on it a variety of brands and chargers I think the one you have in your car is either not following the standard or the coil distance is larger than it normally should be. I can speculate all day, but that won't help the issue. I hope you find out what causes it and are able to address it; I just don't think saying it won't work with a wireless charger is correct unless your specific the model since it works one many others as I've mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] robobub:
For those that have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, do you guys have a weird semi-hole near the speaker? It's hard to tell in the OP's photo.

If the phone is facing up, its on the bottom right, past the speaker and mic. Note my picture has the phone facing down, so it's on the left. My Spigen Neo Hybrid doesn't have this, nor my Ultra Hybrid knock offs.

https://imgur.com/g3oPkW8

Also, I'm not a fan of the sides on the Ultra Hybrid, they come up to a sharp ridge. The knock offs from LUVVITT and Trianium are round and feel better / thinner. The Trianium headphone cut out is small, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
Yeah, I have the circular Samsung fast charge, and its hit and miss :/

I just placed an amazon order for the following based on the reviews for the s7 edge variants.

Luvvitt TPU Clear Grip

Ringke Fusion Air

Spigen liquid crystal

EasyACC Crystal Slim

I am buying these for a s7 based on the review for the s7 edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I'll have a look at it and see what it is. I can take a better picture if you would like too. I bought it from their Amazon store so I know it's not a knock off, but this was from their first batch of that makes any difference.

My fast charger is fairly consistent most of the time. Sometimes it's very picky even when I have no case on my phone at all. I've used wireless charging for a long time so I know how it can sometimes be off just enough to cause issues. I'm more than happy to post videos showing how even my thicker Stowaway, Speck or other cases work with all 5 of them if you want.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] lvnatic:
I'm sorry but I can't take you seriously when you rate the UAG only a 7. That's pretty much the best rugged case you can get for a phone, that isn't ridiculously bulky and keeps a stylish look. Top notch cut outs, awesome protection, awesome build quality, you name it. I got it for my old note 3, for my girlfriend's s5 and now for my s7 edge, these cases are a huge GO.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] saltywetman:
My Supcase beetle unicorn just came in today (long time to get into canada). I'd just like to report that this case seems screen protector friendly so far (zagg hd wet install) Upon close inspection the edges of the case still have a hairline of space between the edge of the film which is likely why it's not lifting the edges. I had the spigen liquid crystal i returned to amazon because it lifted the flim as soon as i popped the phone in. While it definitely feels more solid and protective than the liquid crystal, i'm not sure i'd be 100% confident in dropping the phone with this case (especially face down) as because the edges of the case doesn't wrap around the phone as prominently as other cases, i would worry the phone may pop out if dropped face down
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
You are entitled to your own opinion,and I have no issue with you disagreeing with me. I don't think it's a great case, it's more in line with an average case that has some serious drawbacks. My pictures of it should speak for themselves when mine and other members had theirs arrived scratched. I didn't like the overly boxy feel that ruined the phones shape more so than any other case on top of it being and feeling cheap.

Sorry, haven't taken pics of the Ballistic Urbanite but here are some nice ones.

Yes, I just checked, and it's there. Odd. I wonder what it is.

That sharp ridge was almost a deal breaker for me. Luckily, it was easily (and invisibly) smoothed off with my fingernail file. Perfect now, and it makes no sense for them not to do that themselves.

Right now I am awaiting delivery on the following. Spigen liquid crystal, Ghostek cloak , 2 clear cases from Luvvitt from their 2.99 sale.

Bought a Ringke fusion. Tried it quickly looked and felt nice but given the other cases I ordered will likely return it. Too bad the deals on spigen cases on amazon does not extend to Canada. My brother in law is bringing in 5 cases for me next week from luvvitt sale. Don't have the heart to ask him to order more.

BTW do you have any knowledge or experience with Kristall liquid screen protectors. They are a nanotechnology coating supposed to give 9h hardness to the screen. Good for a year. Liquid application no fuss with screen protectors and case issues

I have seen reviews of the spigen hybrid neo crystal where it has damaged the pixels on this screen. This is when the case is removed to use with the vr. It is too tight and has ruined the phone. Doesn't sound good.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] redeus:
Anyone know of a case for the S7 Edge that just covers the back? There are a few snap-on cases for the iPhone that just protect the back with very little on the edges. Once a good glass protector is released for the S7 Edge, I doubt any standard case will be compatible so one that just protects the back of the case would likely be the only one that won't cause the protector to peel off.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I haven't owned any since my Nexus 6, so I can't speak to how they are now. They seem to be nice, but I would have to see one in person to be a better judge of their quality.
