Using Gear VR with a case? - Samsung Gear VR

All I have is an s-view case and that would just look silly with the VR so my phone is naked at the moment :S
Are there any protective cases out there that do not have to be taken off when using the Gear VR? or do all cases work fine?
I am mostly curious because I have been wanting to buy the zerolemon extended battery, but that would bulk up my phone if I recall correctly. Is there anyone using a VR with this?
Edit:
Eh, probably can't use it with a case on lol just ignore this~ or delete if possible :S

I'm interested to know if the magnets in the case cause any issues? Anyone know if they are sold anywhere else?

Guess nobody has this case for the Note II. I think the OP was concerned about the magnets interfering with the S pen which obviously the iPhone review wouldn't cover at all.
How does it stay in the case? I don't see any bumpers or sticky tape.

It has magnets and if it doesn't interfere with your s-pen it will mess up the magnetic strips on any cards you're foolish enough to store in it. Stay away. If you want a case like this get either a Spigen Snap or Spigen Valentinus.

[Q] Can you use Gear VR with a flip wallet cover?

I wonder - will I have to remove the cover every time I want to put the phone into the Gear VR or is there some additional space that would fit the thicker than normal phone?

It doesn't work with the S-View cover - I've tried. I'm sure that eventually you will be curious enough yourself to try and force the N4 with the case but it won't work well
Oh and chances are that your wallet case is thicker than the s-view so yes, you will have to remove your cover/case each time.
Thanks. I suppose I won't use Gear VR that much, so I will manage...

Waterproof case

Hey guys,
Did anybody purchase a waterproof case for the device? Lifeproof hasn't come out yet with their product, and I'm not sure how safe the cheap brands over eBay are... Any suggestions?

I highly recommend this product. I'm so please andby the pictures I was able to capture while in the case! I never expected that part! I only wanted it to keep my phone safe while kayaking but that was a great bonus. I will include pictures I was able to take while kayaking using the case.

What's the difference between that and a ziplock bag?
I would love an actual case with waterproofing, but I imagine the curved screen makes that hard to produce.
Anyone try the new Lifeproof FRE for the Galaxy S6 on an edge? I'm looking for a waterproof case as well.
I saw this get decent reviews on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-EA...390&sr=1-8&keywords=galaxy+s6+edge+waterproof
Are these cases 100% safe? Will it still work for like 15min underwater?

Just curious, when you use the case how do you turn off your screen? I see there is no access to the power or volume buttons...
http://www.lovemeicases.com/love-mei-powerful-bumper-for-galaxy-s6-edge/
This is the one I'm going to buy. It is water resistant, you still can't use your phone underwater, but it is very durable and it is perfect for my needs (cycling)
By the way, lifeproof fre should fit in s6 edge since our phone is smaller than flat s6.

I would avoid that case entirely. It's a piece of pot metal junk. I wasted 25 bucks on it.

How?? It's the only thing negative I have to turn the screen down and hope it turns off I also use the power saving mode on that reduces the time that the screen is turned on. And reduces the processor speed so doesn't get hot inside of the case.

It might fit but that doesn't mean it'll retain it's waterproofness. The whole point of getting that case would be for the water tight seal... Man with every passing day I regret "upgrading" from my galaxy s5. This phone might be sexier but it's definitely 1 step forward, 10 steps backwards.

I had found this galaxy s6 waterproof case from Casetastic Shop
Glad with it, because it is protective and not bulky :good:
Lifeproof ruined my Galaxy S4 so I won't recommend you using their product .
****ty product + brilliant marketing
Why do you need a water proof case? I put my phone inside my bag or locker before I go into water/sea.
anyone had any luck getting hold of a waterproof/submersible screen for the s6 edge?
I used to have a Seidio for my S3 and it worked sooo well underwater, it sucks they did not make one for the s6 edge.
I am going to purchase Eonfine waterproof S6 case or Comeproof case.
I would like to share my experience,I am a outdoor cycling addict and i had been looking for a really waterproof case protecting my galaxy S6 against water, googling how to pick a waterproof phone case,I found a pretty useful blog at blog.onu-mall filled with tons of useful publications including how to pick the quality phone case,tracking the blog,i was surprised by a online shop with huge selections of various affordable cool galaxy S6 case, i bought a really fashionable outdoor sports waterproof case at onu-mall.com/outdoor-sports-waterproof-case-bike-mount-holder-for-samsung-galaxy-s6-s6-edge.html for Samsung Galaxy S6,i am so impressed with solid, robust case which is lined to protect bars and reduce vibration and designed to withstand daily use and protect against wet / damp weathe featuring my unique logo,press button release means the case to be completely removed from the handlebar mount at the touch of a button, a great security feature, i am so happy getting the awesome item and would like to share the online store named ONU-MALL ONLINE STORE
I think they have normal case, but then dont make a good waterproof.

need case that protects the edge and compatible without removing to gear vr

i need a case like that protects also the edge of the screen because most of the cases being sold only protects half of it also that is vr gear compatible without removing any have idea or it does not exist
Any luck finding one? Someone on here mentioned shaving off the rubber bumpers and maybe it works with (certain?) cases? Unsure.. I was hoping the beetle pro full case would be workable somehow.
I can't see much success. It's far too tight in the VR for a case too.
Sent from my S7 Edge using XDA Labs
Your not going to find a case that fits the brace. Maybe skins or screen protector
I had a slickwrap on mine and it works, but if you want to use a case you would need to cut it to actually fit.
This one fits... just used if for about an hour with my Gear VR
(relatively tight)

Condom? 2x for better protection BTW in vr phone is getting quite HOT. I wouldn't try...

Question Case Recommendations

Hi! Upgrading from the tab s4 to the s8. Guess I'm not the only one! What are prior using for cases? Anything that ISNT on Amazon? It seems like it's the same 3 or 4 cases rebranded? Amazon looks more and more like FBA version of Alibaba. I'm sick of it...
Looking for something low profile that protects well and holds the pen. Don't need a keyboard. Something tactically playing would be nice. I don't really care for the smooth (cheap) tpu feel. I also don't care for the behemoths with all the **** on the back unless it's really low profile.
Any ideas or suggestions?
I'm using the Ultra's keyboard cover, but I was very tempted to get the - I believe it's the Spigen. They had several different cases, including a very tough one. Ideally, I'd like to combine both the Samsung keyboard cover and the Spigen. If I wasn't using the Samsung one, I would be very tempted.
Again, this was months ago, so it's possible it was a different brand, but I don't think so. There should be another thread or two in this section about cases, and that's probably where we were discussing their options, but just check on their site, and you should find them to take a look.
Good luck!
Inhave the Urban Armour Gear for ultra . I love it except the flip thing behind the stand it doesn't close tight anymore

I have the same case and the same complaint. Its a bit bulky, I would like to find a thinner case that locks in the s-pen on the back.
