Yes, if you read the OP I received multiple thin, clear cases (screen protector friendly) that will work just fine. The Spigen Liquid Crystal, Ringke Fusion Air or Ringke Fusion should all meet that requirement. The regular fusion is the largest while the other two are very thin and minimalist
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] AvivEliyahu:
I'm scared that it won't be that defending when falling (although I'm not a clumsy type.. But just to be safe) what do you think about spigen ultra hybrid(crystal one)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Well, you can't have a non bulky, very protective clear case unfortunately otherwise I would be buying one now. The Tech 21 is probably the closest to a thin protective case you will find, but its more of a smoke color and not truely clear if that fits your needs. I've dropped my S7 Edge in the Speck, Spigen RA, Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Tech 21, Incipio Octane, performance and a few others. The phone is still perfectly fine :)

The ultra hybrid is not my favorite case, but it should handle at least one drop before cracking the case. It's a TPU frame wrapped around a PC back, so it offers some protection just don't expect it to survive a bad fall (1m+ onto pavement)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] TJ446:
Here are some photos of the Tech 21 case in clear. I also have the smoke version. Oddly, the clear version has better grip on the sides than the smoke version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I would've bought that one had someone stocked it locally. It looks nice, and would probably be the best case in terms of thin, clear and protective that you can get currently. Since you said it has some more grip (texture) along the sides that would fix my main complaint with the gray one too
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] SEVENEDGE:
The gray did not feel comfortable at all

Pilz - First off, from one case junky to another, I find your thoughts towards cases very insightful and meaningful. Some of my case choices were based upon my trust in your opinions.

With respect to the Tech 21 clear version, it doesn't have a textural difference over the smoke version per say. Rather the material along the edges seem to grab my palms better. They are slightly more tacky. I would estimate that it is around 20% more grippy than the smoke version. Strange but true.

Among clear or translucent thin cases that offer real protection, it's the best one I have among around 5 clear cases.

For overall protection and grip, I concur with the Speck Candy Shell.

The bottom of the case could be awkward and hurt your fingers from what I've seen. Other than that, I don't find the case uncomfortable per say. I haven't used the case in a while so there may be a few more small things about the feel I forgot about.

Thank you, I try to keep it as open and unbiased as I can; then I note when something bothers me but shoudlnt affect other people in most situations.

I wonder if they used a slightly different material to keep it clear. I'm sure the molds are the same given how expensive they are to make/remake. If I find one locally I'll add it to my review list, but im not going out of my way to pick one up given how I have a bunch of clear ones and another Tech 21 already :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] TJ446:
It could be due to the translucent material or perhaps manufacturing variances.

With your current collection of cases, I would probably hold off buying another one just for the colour. Plus you have all the HTC 10 ones to test as well... [emoji6]

I will say that the Tech 21 does have a nice profile when slipping it into a dress pant pocket or a jacket/blazer pocket. The additional grip of the Speck is a small drawback in that respect.

I suppose this could be a new category for your spreadsheet - Resistance slipping into pocket or "Pocket Ability."

Wish I seen this post before buying, (just used youtube) It was hard choice buying a case because I just want one and it had to be protective without too much bulk, ended up buying Spigen Tough Armor black case and I'm very happy with it, yes looking at your review the kickstand isnt much kop but if your hardly using it it might come in handy.

Looking at all your reviews there isnt one overall winner, maybe the s7 edge is a hard shape to make lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] welshbloke70:
Fits amazingly well, really nicely made, leather feels a bit dry and benefits from some leather polish. Once you treat the leather it feels lovely in your hand.

It's my favourite case but it doesn't offer a lot of protection.

I use an otterbox Strada if I'm doing anything that involves the need for more protection. That's also a nice leather case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] derWolf_:
And how do you polish it? Same as shoes?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
He might mean leather conditioner because polishing a non-smooth leather doesn't make sense
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] TheRedIndian:
thanks [MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION], bought the Spigen Rugged Armor after reading your review, great case
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
Happy I could help!

Hi, How is the Ringke Slim working out for you so far? is it good for minimal protection for scratches and does Frost white turn to yellow overtime?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] thegtfusion:
I sent it back and took the original clear case from Samsung. The ringke was good, but the frost white did not look good on my gold S7 edge. If they had a clear one it would be perfect. But it's good for minimal protection
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Dinaiz:
Thanks a lot for your amazing reviews [MENTION=5581268]Pilz[/MENTION] !!!!

So if I understood correctly, the best option if you don't wont to sacrifice the s7e gold looks, edge functionality and have maximum protection against drops, the best option out there is the Tech 21 EVO Frame, right ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] M@rs:
Are you reviewing the ghostek cloak?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
That would be a good choice among some others like the incipio Octane (they make an all clear version)

Most likely not because they don't have anything different from what I've already done. I would like to see some other good cases come out, but it's late in the game for a company to launch something.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Canadoc:
Ghosted is different. Only 2part case with aluminum frame and a screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
It's not much different than say a Spigen NeoHybrid crystal aside from having an aluminum frame. The addition of a screen protector isn't a deal maker, but I'll have another look at it. There was a point on time when I was going to buy one, but I changed my mind in favor or other cases.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Canadoc:
The feel is different and the you clear part has grid pattern like spoken liquid crystal. It has good in hand feel
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] alobear:
ghostek case isnt very good. aluminum feels cheap and buttons are bad.. I would stay away from it.
