[Q] I hate cases. I need a bumper case.

So as it turns out I'm actually allergic to the metal on the edge of the phone. Which means I can't hold onto it. Which means I need a case. So I'd like as little case as possible. If I could just get a rubber bumper to wrap around the edge and nothing else, that would be ideal.
So what's the most minimal non-metal case it's possible to get, that will cover up the metal edges? Any suggestions?

I have the Spigen air capsule. It's a really thin clear case, good quality as well. Barely feels as if there's a case on my phone..

Official Samsung case is like a bumper but but covers the back. It doesn't cover the sides but it's probably the thinnest case for the S6 Edge. I got mine at T-Mobile for cost $20. If you resister your phone on Samsung you get 30% off but I think it was a little more then what I paid.

I have the Spigen air case too. I don't normally do cases but I really like this one

I'd recommend the Ringke Fusion. Thin, transparent and covers the aluminium.
Bought it for around 10 Euros.

I'd recommend the " Spigen" range their cases, I have found to be the best but not sure if they do bumper cases.

i bought this one.

looks great and its aluminum.

This looks to be a bumper case. http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Border-Case-White-P97640.htm

I have the Spigen Case

I have the spiggen crystal clear with air cushion. Is feels nice. And looks nice. Although think I'll find a better back protector the one they give have with the case is too small and visable.

I don't see any "air capsule" model listed on the Spigen pages. Actually, none of the cases has "air" in its name at all. The closest I can find is a case for the regular S6 that has the word "capsule" in its name, but it doesn't sound like what people are talking about. What is the official Spigen name for the model?

I don't know if you would be allergic to this metal or not, but the aluminum bumper that someone linked to previously feels very nice on mine.

For the record I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid in the Metal Slate color and it does cover all of the metal sides (unless you poke a finger into the holes in the bottom for the ports). It has a clear back, but I'm finding that the clear back is much more smudgy than the pictures on the web site (and I have installed their "anti-smudge" back film, but it doesn't seem to solve the issue).

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, it's not just a bumper case, the back is great with a pattern to increase grip and it's so sleek it doesn't affect the design of the phone, I really love this oneand so do a lot of people in their reviews, ah and by so far I haven't seen any other case for the S6 Edge that has this large number of reviews on youtube and android sites, alor of people got it, I got the Gunmetal color but it's in silver and gold as well with metalic and rubber buttons, (I prefer rubber)

Which case is this? Does it provide a good grip as I'm finding the phone too slim to use without a case.

It's the Aluminum bumper on amazon by NeWisdom. There are similar aluminum bumpers by other company's on Amazon and i assume they're all the same.
It's got a fair amount of grip... it's a matte finish metal so it's not super grippy. I get a good amount of slip reduction from the matte DBrand skin though.

Overview of Four Cases (Spigen Thin Fit, Diztronic TPU, Ringke SLIM Clear & Black)

Overview of Four Cases (Spigen Thin Fit, Diztronic TPU, Ringke SLIM Clear & Black)
Spigen Thin Fit - Minimal coverage, exposed buttons, not the biggest fan of this one.

Diztronic Full Matte Flexible TPU - Somewhat thin while probably offering the best coverage out of the ones I am listing. I feel like they could have closed the s-pen cut out completely
Ringke SLIM Clear & Black - My favourite case out of the ones I have. The clear one however is fairly slippery, probably about as slippery or more as carrying the phone naked. The black one however is grippy and looks very sleek almost like the phone doesn't even have a case on it.

Nice Case~ Are those cases hard plastic cases or soft rubber cases?

Rinke is what i have. the clear or smoked one allows you to add something to the back and it's very nice looking. i don't know why someone would spend all this money on a phone and put something ugly like a uag case on it. anyway, here's what it looks like:

I just ordered the Rearth Slim in black. Always liked very minimal cases, that keep the slim profile of the phone, but cover it in case of scratches and minor dings from little drops.

Only thing I don't like about the clear Ringke case is that I feel like it attracts fingerprints like crazy, also gets a bit slippery from what I can only guess is your finger oils. Wanna try out the black one from what the OP stated its provides more grip. Overall like the form factor of the case, very slim.

I currently have the black Tech 21 case I got at T-Mobile, and it's nice and protective, but is a bit thick and beefy for my taste.
I hope the Rearth Slim is thinner and less bulky.

Holy crap this case is AWESOME
Galaxy Note 5 Case, Ringke SLIM
http://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Essent...1442611872&sr=1-1&keywords=note+5+slim+ringke
Wow, just wow. I have never liked a case so much. This thing fits like a frigging glove, very tight close fit, and is almost like a thick skin as opposed to a case.
Yeah this won't save the phone from big drops, but it does prevent dings and scratches, and feels much better in the hand nice rubbery grippy feel, than the naked slippery phone.

Looks nice... I would consider it

I've been rocking the black ringke slim on my GS5 for over a year and it definitely has saved my phone from many drops (phone is spotless). Also my brother is using one on his GS6 edge and it saved his phone from a bad drop recently.

Got crystal but way too slippery. Keeps sliding out of my pocket, etc..

Big thumbs up on the ringke slim. Even though it's slim it just saved my phone big time. 4 foot drop onto travertine tile kitchen floor and phone is still flawless. My heart stopped and i thought phone was definitely gonna be shattered. Case got a little dent in the corner so it took one for the team. Still fits fine though.

Yeah. It's weird. You may as well get some other device if you're just going to keep it inside the case equivalent of a tank. I went to a Samsung shop recently and the first thing the sales guy tried to sell me was a huge UAG case.
... and it was ugly as hell -- but you know, the guy who was trying to sell it to me looked like he couldn't afford a Note5 himself and was just trying to sell me the SKU that cost the most.

Correct. Clear one is ridiculously slipper. Black is grippy.

I have the Ringke SLIM in black, and it's awesome. I was skeptical when I ordered it, but was instantly pleased once I snapped it on. If you're looking for a case that offers protection and improved grip, but don't want to add any bulk to your phone, just get the Ringke SLIM. Don't even think twice about it.

Any Spigen Ultra Hybrid owners? Fitment issues .

Ordered the clear and rose gold colors for my wife and I. Her rose gold fitment is off on the sides as in it fits loose and not snug. My clear initially fit good on the sides but is becoming more and more loose. Also both cases have a small hole defect on bottom right side. Will be contacting Spigen shortly. Any others with these issues?

I also ordered the neo hybrid cases (non-clear) and they seem solid. I just love a clear case tho to show off the gorgeous device. ?

Got the clear one and it fits nice and tight. Is stopped me feeling like the device will slip out my hand any moment and had even speed me performing "micro presses"on the screen with the side of my hand!

Just got the neo hybrid silver and put it on. For some reason it feels much more beastly compared to the ultra hybrid and I am not feeling it that much. Maybe because of the black edges covering the sides VS the see thru edges of the ultra hybrid hmmm. I like the ultra minus the minor issues but one thing is the ultra doesnt seem to have that much drop protection. I just ordered the neo hybrid Crystal case that may be the winner here.

Yes, however I was able to resolve the issues with a little bit of work. I saw someone point this out and I massaged the edges particularly around the buttons a bit more.
Here's earlier in the day:

And here's tonight after a little bit of work. Overall the case fits snugly and feels sturdy in my hand.
I personally love this series from Spigen. The PC bumper could fit tighter but it's nowhere near enough for me to take it off.

In case anyone didn't realise the difference, Spigen do two ranges of Neo Hybrid. Standard range which has coloured rear/under layer and choice of coloured bumper. The second range titled "Crystal" has a transparent rear/under layer and choice of coloured bumper.
I bought the latter in Gunmetal purely because I prefer transparent cases that show off the phone below.

Have clear hybrid ultra. Pushes the screen protector off. Anyone know of a good protector that won't push off.

I've had my Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear on my S7 Edge since March 5th and the case fits perfectly. I removed the case yesterday for the first time to install my Skinomi screen protector. I put my Spigen case back on this morning and it fits the same way as when I first got it. I bought my case from Amazon.

I'm hoping a screenknight will work with it.

Are the PC frames interchangable betweem the hybrid/hybrid cystal cases?

I bought the cheap Verizon 3 pack screen protectors and so far the edges have not peeled up yet with multiple removal of all these cases per day.

Mines just bleh. The case looks nice aside from the buttons being way too stiff for comfort. I've only used it a handful of times, so I can't vouch for its durability.

Got the neo hybrid crystal and unfortunately fitment was very bad. The side buttons are pretty flush and the sides of the PC bumper are loose and raised. Bummer because the crystal hybrid looks awesome.

Looked up the spigen warrenty they offer free replacement but I need to ship items back. Probably $6 or so to ship it back I paid 15 so wonder if it is even worth the hassle to be honest. For those who have defective Spigen cases, are you going through the trouble of returning for warranty exchange?

I too have the Ultra Hybrid clear and it fits just right, it's tight and it doesn't seem to have gotten loose in the first couple days of use. Buttons work alright, makes the phone look pretty good imo. I have a similar Spigen case on my Nexus 5 (got it from day 1 both phone and case) and to this day I still have it and functional, I hope this Spigen case can live up to the rep and trust my last Spigen case gave me.

i bought the clear ultra hybrid also, I find that because of the solid back the edges aren't rounded and even have a sharp edge. This takes away all the comfort built into the phone. Can't wait to trash it and get something that keeps the phone as comfortable to hold as the phone was designed to be. Also the buttons on the cover have sharp edges. Overall fit seems to be fine.

Orzly Fusion Bumper Case for OnePlus 3 Pictures

I received the Fusion Bumper Case today and I gotta say after a days use I am delighted with it, I've got it on with the 2.5D Screen Protector and it works no problem. I actually like this more than the Grip-Pro I got the other day, purely because it allows me to show off my phone whilst keeping it protected! Here are some pictures:

The case looks nice. Is the TPU or silicone around the volume buttons stiff or soft? Stiffer material makes it feel like it is more protective.

Will the thick TPU sides of the fusion bumper turn yellow over time? Because it's already hazy and murky in brand new condition. and you can easily notice the difference in clarity between the TPU sides and Polycarbonate back.

Hi, I have a silicon case and my past experience has been that such cases eventually form a yellow tint.
So will that yellow tint be visible on this case as well?
Or are Orzly cases immune to that? Would be disappointed if after paying a premium amount, I get the same quality.

No Orzly users here? :l
Need to buy a case ASAP, bump.

I have an Orzly flexi case and no, they're not immune to the yellowing effect. In fact, if you turn on the torchlight, the whole case would illuminate in a golden yellow colour.
If you want a transparent case, I'd recommend a hybrid case like the Ringke Fusion. The polycarbonate back would be immune to yellowing and you can choose tinted TPU on the sides, since clear TPU yellows gradually.

Ah, thank you. I'll find a Ringke through aliexpress, since they officially aren't available in India, yet.

[Review] Nillkin Frosted Case & XD CP+ MAX screen protector

So I got the Nillkin Frosted case and XD CP+ Max screen protector, here is the review.
The case color is nice, similar to the blue that is on the phone, so it fits well. Case is thin, textured on the back and side which makes it very comfortable on the hand, it's lightweight as well which is good. As with you expect from a thin lightweight case like this, protection won't be much, it'll save you from a short fall but nothing Mil grade protection here, no complaints.
The camera protection clearance is actually quite good, considerably more than the plastic one that comes with the phone, very happy with this.
The only Con is that when used with the same brand tempered glass, the lip sits lower than the screen protector which means don't lay the phone face down on scratching surfaces.
Now on to the screen protector. Very nicely made, heavy, good touch experience, no problem with fingerprints(you will have to re-enroll prints for best exp).
The application is a breeze, just lay it down, don't even have to apply any pressure and the adhesive will stick, removing bubbles is easy too. I left 1 small dust particle somehow and now it's visible on the screen, don't know if that will annoy me or not, might have to reapply it or use the 2nd one that I bought. This is totally my fault though. The edges of the screen will be covered just a little bit, but I don't see any problems with that, everything displays fine in full, the tiny edges covered don't make any difference once you got used to it.
So to sum up. Happy with the case. Very happy with the protector.
I'll probably wait for a nice sturdy case from some US brand to replace this one though, lip protection isn't enough.

Great review, one thing I was wondering, any chance of weighing the case? I was considering the official oneplus Karbon case, that weighs only 13 grams, but costs a lot more, I know that Niikin cases are good quality at the right price...
Do you know how much the case weighs?

no. I don't have that kind of scale to weight it properly. It's real light, it's equal to the clear case that comes with the phone at best, if not lighter.
And seeing pictures on the Karbon case I don't think they differ much in terms of protection, this one got more grip for sure. Also in the blue color very closely matched with the phone color if you have the glacier blue

I have the same colour of 7t , I must admit I tend to like black cases, they Karbon case is only 13grams, which is very light, I did ask on Amazon with regards to the case the weight of the Nillkin frosted case and the seller said it weighed 21gram....still nice and light, but I find the 7t a tad heavy with my current case on which is nice and protective, but weighs 32grams, I like my case etc, but the weight is kinda heavy in the hand.
I have ordered the Nillkin case from eBay from a Chinese supplier, so bit of a waiting time, but great value at only £5.40 delivered.
I am a bit unsure about spending £27.95 on the official Karbon case for the 7t, but I do know they are quiality feel in the hand.
I have had Nillkin cases in the past and I have always found them to be good quality, I shall confirm the cases weight once it arrives.

I just got this case from AliExpress for 3.5$, it's a beautiful case. Fits the 7T perfectly and cutouts are perfect too.

yes it does. And more than the official glass. If you can get it and can afford it I'd still recommend official. But this one does a fine job

really? Defo not to me, it has textured surface on the whole back and also on the sides, no way it's slippery. Maybe you got a different version, check my pictures

Can you add a picture of the camera bump with the case on? I use it on my Pocophone and love it, but I already ordered the 7T and want to see If i order one for it.

yes it does. And more than the official glass. If you can get it and can afford it I'd still recommend official. But this one does a fine job

Why can't they make a completely transparent one without black borders? All screen guards these days come with those ugly borders.

Because they actually don't stick to the edges. The shape of the screen makes it impossible for the protector to stick correctly and it makes appear some areas which are not in contact to the screen. The black parts are actually not sticking.

What I am waiting for from Nillkin is the Nature case. Because of the Gray variant. I have the Frosted Silver variant. Even though I liked the free case inside the box... it makes the phone a lot more frosted white. Especially on the sides. If only OnePlus provided the smoke gray color just like on OnePlus 6T, It would've been perfect.
