Do the cases help you not touch the edge? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories

Which type of case helps you stop accidentally touching the edge on the sides while typing and such? Does it help with gripping the phone also? Cause naked, I can barely grip the phone without everything going haywire. Figured I'd ask if a particular case helps before blindly buying some that may not work.

I had the same issues you're having, went to best buy and dropped $35 on a simple TPU case by tech21 and this is now the best feeling phone I've ever owned. It feels even better with a case than it does naked and I no longer accidentally hit the edge screen with my palm. I told my friend who is thinking of picking this up that he would have to put a case on it if he got it.

Yes I've found that my case I've gotten helps with grip and preventing accidental touches just as you suspect.

I put a super thin clear spigen case on mine. Definitely one of those rare instances where the case actually improves the phone because I was having the same issue with my palm touching the edge and launching stuff. It still happens occasionally, but much rarer now and the case makes the phone easier to hold overall without adding any noticeable bulk or detracting from the look since it's clear.

Do you have a film screen protector on your phone as well? If so, how does the Tech21 case work with it? I was using the Spigen Rugged Armor case with a screen protector and it would push the edges of it up.

Dont buy it unless you want dirt to scratch your phone constantly. Check Amazon for TPU/Rubber/Silicone cases which are way better.

Its not bad per se but its not the best. There really aren't a lot of hard case options out there to be honest. I have the platinum for mine but since putting Ghost Armor on my phone I've not felt the need. My wife still has her platinum case on and she seems to like it or at the least not mind it.

How did it mangle your phone? I had it on my phone for a few weeks with no damage and its been on my wife's phone for almost a month, half of which her phone has also had ghost armor on which makes the case a very tight fit and it hasn't even nicked the ghost armor. I just checked.

Sorry! Won't happen again.
It is that bad. Order a case on Amazon. I bought the simple Amzer silicon gel and I love it. Its like six bucks, fits perfect, buttons push really easy and it doesn't seem to attract much lint. They also have a TPU case and some other options. The one at best buy is terrible. Its a little loose, feels slippery in the hand and scratched the back on the phone.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
The Best buy case and the amzer are both junk but they are your only choices.
the best buy case is available on ebay for 6.95 shipped. The one from best buy is a generic. I bought it and it's loose and build quality is garbage. I took a eye glass cleaning cloth and stuck it between the back of the phone and the case, and when I snapped it shut, it's much more solid. No more creaking.

It scratched the **** out of my battery cover an put alot of dot scuffs an nicks all over the bezel. Im sure using the case with ghost armor or a zagg would prevent it from hurting the phone but if u dont use anything like that with that case it will mess it up

Tip of Advice.

I advise people to stop waiting around for CERTAIN cases to be made and bumpers to become available. Get a case on your phone ASAP to avoid being a statistic in the crack phone category.
Already on it. Got the Poetic bumper as well as a TPU case since the bumper arrives a month later and the TPU case was only 2 bucks.

I have the S-line TPU case which I really don't want. I already scratched the chrome bezel a little bit, unknowingly, so I had to settle for the S-line from Ebay. It costs a few bucks but it works very well, I just wished they made cutouts for the power and volume.

Exactly I ordered my case prior to getting my phone. Even though I still had to walk around with my phone with no case for about a week and some change. The case had extremely slow shipping so I had to baby my phone and I still manage to scratch the chrome This phone is a work of art.
I have an s-line too. Does the job, and I've always had tpu cases on my phones so no big deal to me far as hiding the phone's beauty.

phone and s-line tpu case arrived on the same day, still waiting for screen protector, keep original plastic on, back to google when replacement arrives. So far no scratches no cracks. I want to attach a hand strap to the tpu case. Also looking for a tactical nylon holster large enough to fit n4 with this tpu case but also a ballistic case if i get one in the future. Don't see any good ones online. Local stores don't even have cheap leather belt clip holsters for phones this size.
Whats wrong with the s line tpu case? I'm using it and love it. It is thin though...

You might never drop your phone or you might drop it many times. But accidents do happen, it's life. Just because you try to prevent something from happening doesn't mean it will.
Never used a case or screen protector, never will. All my phones still look mint. I will try a bumper when those come in to see if I like that as this is the first time I've got a glass back and I'd rather not scratch it setting it down on some grains of sand unknowingly.
This is also why I buy square trade warranty, so I can enjoy using my phone without crap all over it.

I am just using a front and back skin to protect the glass from scratches. The official bumper is the only case I've used and it adds too much girth to the phone for me (I think it actually increased my chances of dropping the phone). If I do drop it... I'll deal. This phone is just too nice to hold as is. Case-less for me.

It's worth getting this phone protected
I've never used a case protector for any smartphone I've owned, and have always accepted the fact that there will be scratches. However, I've just taken my N4 out of my jacket pocket to find a large shatter on the back glass. Wasn't dropped or bashed or anything, I've no idea how it happened. Although the glass back looks cool, it's frankly a ludicrous design, and as well as being a potential scratch magnet, it's also so slippery that it slides off anything that isn't totally horizontal. It's now going to LG for repair, sadly not covered by the warranty. I hate to think what it's going to cost, so I would really advise people to get some kind of protection for their handset!

Pouches are the way to go (to avoid sand particles in your pocket). Skin protectors, bumpers and the like are all just nuisances.
I say enjoy just enjoy the phone given the price. It's not like you paid $700 for it.

Diztronic, love it!

I bought directly from the site of the seller.
I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.

Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

Best rugged case for note 2

Looking for opinions on most protective case. Defender seems like the best but the screen protector....and hearing about dust getting in between it and the screen is a little disconcerning. I used a seidio active case on my thunderbolt and loved it, dropped on concrete several times and faired very well. But after recently breaking few months ago and seidio not wanting to replace it like they used to...kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I dont know if I want to go back to them. That's what she said. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Although I don't have the note2. I have an s3 and I have the otter box defender. I couldn't get the oil slick look to go away so I just took the built in screen protector out. It just pops right out. I have my full screen protector on there anyway to its still fully protected.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Ya that's what im thinking. Just thinking... should I buy it then immediately break the case by ripping out the built in protector. It just feels weird to break something so expensive on purpose lol. Then, does the adhesive that was holding it on cause an issue or removing the protector cause the case rigidinity to be compromised?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you can wait 3-4 weeks the uag http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/black-note-ii-case
But if you need it now then go for the otter defender or commuter.
Also, if removing screen protector from defender is there still benefit(s) to using that case versus an otterbox commuter? Being that there is an included screen protector versus built in already.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Rigidity shouldn't be compromised, and from what I read people use hair dryer to heat up the edge of the screen for a glue to soften, thus doing a clean removal of the screen. Glue supposed to roll off easily when its hot.. But you have to keep in mind, Otterbox gives you 1yr warranty if something happens to the case. If something breaks or gets damaged and you need to replace it, they will ask your original case back (I called them up to verify it) and even if you going to glue the screen back - there is a chance they will see it and might use it against you. I personally didn't want to take my chance, so I'm returning my Defender back.
Ya I was worried about breaking/enhancing this case for this reason. What did you end up going with?

Yes I have been watching this closely. Wasnt sure about how tough this case was. Looked more about design from what I could see, but I could be very wrong. I actually voted so they would make that case lol. But....not sure whats up with the holes on the back.

I have two cases for my Note 2: a Seidio Active case, and, as of this morning, an Otterbox Defender. Both have their pros and cons. The Seidio is more comfortable in the hand, and quite a bit slimmer, but the soft rubber inner case peels away from the phone too easily and all sorts of nasty scratchy stuff can get underneath it. It also has a handy little kickstand. The Defender is bloody huge, and for me at least, not as comfortable to hold. But it really does feel bombproof. The inbuilt screen protector isn't wonderful, but it works ok. Just needs an oleophobic coating.
As for which is best, I guess it depends how much you think you're going to throw your phone around

Throw? Never, unless onto the bed across the room. Its more of, late night out drinking and drop it from like 5 feet high on to concrete... that kind of scenario. Siedio for tbolt held up well for that did break the case eventually but phone still doesnt have a scratch. But yes, thank you for mentioning comfort, because if it never slips out of your hand... you never drop it. Looking for something grippy if possible, but that is second on my list to overall protection of course.

They are both grippy. The Defender is just a bit too big to hold comfortably. I guess that's the joy of better protection. Ironically, the Defender is possibly more likely to be dropped, not because it slips from your hand, but because it's likely to snag when you try to take it out of your pocket.
I'm going to stick to the Defender for now, although I will remove the screen protector. I use Liquid Armour on the screen and this pretty much negates the need for a plastic cover on the screen.

Whag was your reasoning for choosing the defender over the commuter? I hear it doesnt snag on pockets and has a regular screen protector. I ask because this case is my backup for the time being

I had a commuter on my iphone, and it was dreadful. It didn't fit well, and really didn't feel like it would provide any degree of protection at all. And protection was rather important with all that glass! Binned it after a few days and ended up with a Taktik case (kickstarter thing). But I digress.
Apart from my iphone experience, I would say the Seidio case is better than the Commuter. It will give as much protection, and look and fit better.

My commuter fits perfectly. Love this case. Also bought a 4 $ holster that fits the note 2 with the commuter on perfectly. Perfect combo for me.

Skin, case or naked?

Just wondering what do you guys use. I've always used a case. But thinking of just using tempered glass with a skin. I know it will be prone to cracking the back. But the skin can cover it right? So I'll just pray the tempered glass saves my screen if I ever drop it. Thoughts?
I use a wet install back film, naked screen, sometimes cases, thin, or heavy type, depending on what I will do or where I will go
I have a Spiegen NeoHybrid, Samsung Alcantera, and Samsung this plastic case that I alternate between. But right now I'm using a DBrand skin on the back of it. I've never been a fan of cases and I'm taking my chances with the skin but it does increase the grip of it compared to the glass back. I don't use a screen protector because I haven't found one that feels quiet the same to write on using the S-Pen compared to a naked display. I feel putting anything on the screen reduces the touch sensitivity as well.
I started with the (official) Samsung Rugged Cover, got tired of the bulk after a couple months and switched to a substantially thinner PEEL case. After about a month realized that the extremely thin PEEL case wasn't offering any better protection than a wrap/skin, I installed a "full body" wrap. That lasted all of about 5 frustrated minutes.
I enrolled in Samsung+ Care and will let them "cover" my beautiful, bare, Note8 should something happen.
I use Samsung's flip case. It gives me protection for the screen and back and it provides a stand for watching videos ... very happy with it!

I always use a case. A relatively thin case but one that gives some protection. I also use a magnetic car mount so I need a case to hold it in place.
Currently using a vrs design high pro shield... But lumion is the same thing and sells cheaper

Started off with the OtterBox Defender and skinomi wet install screen protector but got tired of the hard case removal process with the Defender when using the Gear VR headset. So now I'm using the Official Samsung Rugged Protective case with no screen protection. Haven't had a screen protector on in over a month and still have not a single scratch.
Back protection(wet or dry install) is really great, it guards against all type of particles when you use any type of case!
i use this case. got it from amazon
A good quality slim case with a matching wallpaper is how I always rock. Change the colors every few weeks to keep it fresh...
DBRAND GRIP CASE FTW!!!! It's the best case I have ever used. Also lets the dbrand skin show on the back. Grippy as hell, already dropped and protects well.

I use this one. Got so many compliments it made my wife switch from an iPhone to a Note 8.

I bought my Skinomi back clear skin from Amazon. You may have to buy the full kit and just use the back part.
