So it looks like neither of the new S7 phones are going to be very easy to repair. iFixit gave them a 3/10 rating. Ouch. Let's hope the durability is decent so we don't find ourselves elbow deep in a high tech version of "Operation".
They're both fairly similar in the steps needed to repair them. With almost identical insides, the teardown process is the same.
Samsung has also blocked development for these devices which is strange. Looks like they're headed in a direction that is anti-development and anti-repair.

I would like to tell you now that I am in no way affiliated with DealExtreme.
I was looking for a cheap case ( Note that I said case.....not a pouch or a sleeve ) for my galaxy tab....I came across this.

8 Bucks and free shipping? Yes please! I ordered one up and will do a youtube review when I get it.
Thought that I would share this for anyone else that is looking for a case that does not cost a lot and will do the job.
Enjoy!
i bought one of these at a cellphone store for cheap, like 5$. Terrible quality though, you get what you pay for. Oh and when i pulled my tab out i got a black stain on the white back panel, so be careful. IMO, cancel the order and find something else. Your tab deserves better.
Meh.....quality means nothing to me for cases as long as they do what it is meant to do. As for my Tab.....I do not know how your Tab is white but mine has a black carbon fiber design on the back.
The international and I think Sprint (?) tabs have a white back. You can see the international ones in the latest Samsung tab TV ads. I asked our Samsung rep about them last time I saw him. He told me they were the internationals, FYI.
The leather case looked not very well,But it's cheap.
But it took it like a champ. Brand New AT&T LTE 8.9. I was taking it into the AT&T store to get a sim card, and while getting out of the truck, I grabbed the box, but the opening was facing away from me, and the Tab simply beat me out of the truck. Face down onto the pavement from about 5'.
Thank GOD it still had the protective plastic still on the front and the rear. All I ended up with was a two chipped up corners.
I was sure the screen was going to be cracked when I heard it smack face down. First time EVER dropping a tablet.

A couple chips sucks but much better than a cracked screen. These tabs look to be pretty solid as far as i can tell. Maybe pick a case up that'll cover the corners.

Hello people!

The Klip is really simple and does the job better than any other similar products. Combined with the Tegra Zone games that have native controller support, this can actually turn your device in a real Vita competitor
According to the inventor (couldn't find a better word ) it's still work in progress, but I have high hopes that it will be released sooner rather than later!
I've ordered one for my Galaxy S3 and I'm looking forward to ordering one for my Nexus 7.
What are your thoughts about it?

It's definitely a cool idea; I would rather just prop up the n7 with a case or something though.
That's actually the Galaxy Tab 7.0.....but he's making one for the Nexus 7, he's working on a prototype now

The edge under the power button looks pretty rough also.
The One mini M4 suffered from this and has cracks all along the outside plastic band.

Thank you mate I know that problem. I've had like four or five Mini's and they all had the exact same issue and got replaced over and over again until I decided to give it away and upgrade to the bigger sibbling.
I stil have no clue how to repair this frame.. A friend has had the same problem and his powerbutton broke. And without this button the phone is kind of useless..
I can't find information elsewhere on the internet, so I thought I would confirm here. I just purchased this phone and where the metal border meets the glass screen at the top, there is a very thin gap. It begins just before the decorative matte strip at the top. It became more noticeable (assuming dust is getting in) the more I've been talking on the phone.
Is this the speaker?
upload a photo of it, personally I don't recognise what you're describing.
I just peeled back my case enough to look, yes that seems to be the speaker opening.

You have to zoom in. The gap starts and ends where I posted the arrows. I can fit a folded post it inside it by about 1mm.
All I can assume is that this is the speaker location.
yes I have that too. I had never noticed it until you prompted me to look.
thinking about it, it would be weird if nothing was there.
nice colour choice BTW
