yep, thats why i have to go with otterbox... hoping lifeproof will kicka$$,,ordered the otterbox symmetry and the alpha otterglass,75$ is better than my godd$%#n phone cracked
I guess i was overconfident after watching all those drop test videos, anyways i ordered the replacement screen that was posted and will replace it myself which seems easy.
Usually never rock cases on my phones but when I heard this phone was gonna have a glass back and after owning an iPhone that had a cracked glass back due to a drop I ordered a case for my S6 when I got home from T-Mobile lol.
Got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on the phone. Slim, clear, cheap and offers a fair bit more protection. Not bulky at all like some of those otterbox cases which are just too much for me.

I'd check for a metal one if it happens again. My friend got one for his iPhone the second time he cracked it.

A metal back ? Where do they sell those lol.
Try to avoid too much metal on the case if you want good reception, also a metal case would pretty much nix wireless charging for you if you use that.
I don't know if the S6 is that different in terms of the wireless radio signal's penetrating power, but my iPhone 4's glass back was broken and replaced with a metal back piece and worked fine.

I think the bigger problem is that your screen is painted over in white and also has a camera/heart rate monitor in the middle of it. The back of your phone is not the screen!:good:

+1 Besides all that a hard plastic shell protects much better than metal. Ill never under stand the want for "premium" builds, they just crack, dent and conduct electricity better. I have seen more cracked and dented premium built iphones than all android phones put together. Seriously everybody I know who has a iphone has had a damaged iphone at one time. Im getting a case on this phone the second I get it which pretty much makes that premium build nothing but a bragging right. That is a stupid thing to brag about if you ask me.

It is called "glass." Corning did not break his phone. We're his phone made of normal glass, the results would have been worse.
Luckily, T-mobile forces you to get jump for the first month. You're out $175, but at least you can get a new phone.
The glass is very strong.
The problem with glass is the stronger you make it by tempering the more likely it will fail, sometimes explosively, when that "pent up" tension is suddenly released! How does it happen? All it takes is a strike or stress to the edge. Strikes to the face with blunt objects won't do it. It can take an incredible amount of abuse. So how do you prevent this from happening? A case, even a thin one, will work wonders. When it's dropped even a thin TPU will absorb this sharp shock that the glass would receive when struck on its edge. Of course a face down drop onto gravel allowing a stone to strike the glass on the edge will still cause it to break when it hits right. And Mister Murphy will ensure this just as a cat always lands on its feet...
Even a bumper will offer protection from edge impacts. Unfortunately you have to cover things up for a more rounded real life solution.
Sorry boutcha bro.. Case it up. I ordered the Case Mate clear case that T-Mobile has in store at $34.99 for $18 on Amazon. Got it today and its like its not even on, super thin and clear with metal buttons. I HIGHLY recommend it. At least it's SUPER EASY to replace the back cover, like 5 minutes if that..

This phone is solid yet fragile at the same time. I have hard cover snap on simply because I do not want to damage the back. Without a case it pretty much takes only one fall for the glass to crack.
My Nexus 4 is my most scratched phone (thanks to it's weak back glass) and the chrome borders are so soft you can even mark them with your nails...

Can you easily cough up another 350? Without, it's a fantastic piece of equipment to hold & admire.
Can you not? Buy a nice thin case and be extremely f**ng careful with it, chances are it will shatter when falling on to the wrong surface.
Now you can't say we didn't warn you.
I use the LG bumper case because it gives the phone protection and still looks like it is part of the phone. I also love that the buttons on the bumper feel exactly like the ones on the actual phone.
The big negative though, is the extra bulk. I could go without that but I'd rather have peace of mind knowing that if I drop the phone it at least stands some sort of a chance of surviving scratch free.
11 weeks of daily use and abuse yet not a single scratch and mine it's NAKED!
Don't know what others are doing with their phones but mine is holding up superbly.
(Note: I do have a Poetic bumper but I really use it. It's naked 99.99% of the time.)

I went for the Nillkin case cause of the back.
One day before I received it, my cat managed to throw my mobile down while charging.
Chrome Border has a slight dent on the left side, lucky the glass didn't shatter.
So, yes, a case is necessary

I use the LG bumper and have the poetic bumper as well, with no screen protectors on either side. No scratches and everything is fine.
I've never used a full case on a phone, and never will. I still take the bumper off sometimes, this phone looks nice but even with the LG bumper people think it's just the phone without anything on it.

Naked, had the poetic bumper case but it was poor quality and fell apart. No scratches or dents with a lot of use
I've had mine since November 15 with no case or screen protector and so far I have a tiny scratch on the front that could only be seen with the keenest of eye sight. I think it was when I was salting my walk way and there must have been some salt residue on my fingers. As for the back there's a couple scratches that happened when I was entering a courthouse and I had to put my phone in one of those plastic trays before I went through a medal detector. I'm almost certain there was some kind of dirt dust in there that caused it. It was literally in the for 5 seconds. I actually considered that possibility and I was right. Overall I baby this thing.. Not counting the time in the plastic bin. I never lay it down on a surface without thinking of the consequences first. When I'm at my house I always put it on a winter hat or a sock or something. For one to protect it from scratches and also to avoid it sliding off on it's own. Don't get me wrong I love this phone, but compared to my Nexus S I feel like it's so fragile. That's why I just ordered an official bumper. To take some of the edge off while using it every day. I don't want to have to worry about it as much.

To all the people using it naked or with a bumper it's only a matter of time before we see your thread how it cracked in your pocket or best case you just scratch it up. I mean you guys do know that once you crack the front the phone stops working.
I use a mercury slim case because I know this phone is fragile and even though I probably got my nexus for free since I resold a few I would never use it naked for more than a few minutes. Hey some people like living on the edge

Also so that it does not break so I don't have to repair it. I was going to buy the bumper then realized with no case the back of my phone has a chance of cracking if I hit it against something while it's in my pocket.

SF Matte Black - Rearth Ringke SLIM for LG Google Nexus 4 Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case - ECO Package [Revised Version]
to protect the back/sides of it which is look like prone to be scratched and broken also protect the Camera lens, Plus good and nice grip.
so i can just put any where without the fear to break/scratch the back glass!.
I always use my phones naked, cases are big and screen protector makes the screen less fluid-like to swipe on.

well after searching for a case, my search is over.. i just came to conclusion that i cant stand cases... i will go naked, anyone else naked? if so how are you standing any scratches?
i just love the nude feeling of my phone. no better feeling imo.
Yes but I am protecting it. Its too elegant. I cant leave it without a case until i go to sleep where I spend 1-3 hours using the phone then I take the phone off the case. But when I am at work or going out, it has to be in a case !

I NEVER use a cover OR screen protector on my phones. Modern phones are hard wearing enough to not need one. Even without a screen protector, my One XL never had a screen scratch even after a year.
Cases are ugly, make the phone bulkier and hide the HTC build goodness. Screen protectors ruin the feel and look of the display.
Agreed, everyone bangs on about the build quality and one of the reasons this phone is better than the s4 is because the galaxy is crappy plastic and the one is stunning aluminum but then cover their one in crappy plastic or leather anyway! I bought the double dip case and used it for a day, spoilt the phone. Unless you work on a building site then leave alone and enjoy your phone. If you're that worried you can get insurance for next to nothing, in fact, a lot of back accounts give you insurance for free!

I'm waiting for Beyza to release a slim leather pouch for the HTC One. I emailed them but they said nothing was in the works yet.
I've never used screen protectors or anything like that but I personally like pouches as they allow you to transport the phone with decent protection and when you use it you get to appreciate it in all its glory. I've always wondered why you would add a piece of cheapish plastic in front of a nice screen anyway.
I haven't got my HTC One yet but am planning on ordering one of these
I'm not going to use a case. I've had cases for previous phones, but I always took them off after a few days because I hate them. So I will go with a leather pouch again just like I always have

You might need it to protect the cheapish plastic on the back of the phone!! lol
Used to have a pouch only policy until I damaged my One X, this time ill try an easy to pull out transparent cover
There is something relieving about covers, you just use your phone without focusing too much but yea I would go with the most thin/transparent/easy to remove cover
Shame about the official double flip, its really nice but not of good quality

Didn't use a cover on my Sensation and it's still in pristine conditions after 2 years. No reason to use a cover if you keep it in your pocket and don't use your phone in disaster zones!
The only reason I've bought a case for my Sensation was because my Clingo car mount was starting to rip the plastic bits from its back.
Considered going naked with it, but eventually I caved in and ordered myself a Spigen Ultra Thin Air.
It comes with a screen protector too, but I don't use these.
When at home it's going to be naked, unless my little sister would be playing with it at that moment.
I've tried cases with several phones I've owned and they never last more than a week or two. Don't plan on buying one for the One. I'm sure I'll regret it someday, but that's what equipment coverage is for!
The problem with the spigen is that its built from hard plastic, too tight for the device and also will most likely break on fall, I prefer the slim Xlevis transparent rubber case looks better as well (posted photos on mega thread)

Same here. My Sensation has been used caseless for two years and its still fine. I've flung it onto a footpath, dropped it many times, placed it in pockets with coins etc and it remarkably robust. I loved the utilitarian design of the Senny. A rubber back for grip, recessed screen. It's been brilliant. The screen has a few sleeks on it, but no scratches.
I wonder how the ONE will fare if treated the same
Pah!
I am loving the feel of my phone. Part of me is thinking of just getting a bumper for it.

I've never used a case on any of my phones though I do understand why some people might need to (kids/work environment etc).
i went naked with my HTC evo 3d but when i held the One it felt to slippery and it was to easy for it to slide out of hoodie pockets and stuff so i bought one only for the grip/slip factor

The Note 3 got me interested in something like this until i remembered my Note 2 will never be used without a case
I've been using this case way before the Note 3 was announced with the leather back case. The one for the Note 2 works well. It adds the extra grip to the back of the surface for traction versus the stock oem one. Also, since it's not an oem back case, you'll have to sacrifice not being able to use nfc.
I want something exactly like the back of the Note 3 :crying:

I like the way it looks. Wish I could have this exact thing on my ZL battery.
I've ordered the White leather battery cover from eBay. It comes with nfc too. Looking forward to test it and see if it feels ok. A bit tired of the soapy cover as is now. To slippery.
Sent from my GT-N7100
To be honest, I would be careful with a replacement battery cover.
I have one with fake leather and it is much hard to take off.
I think the Note 2 has some kind of design where kinetic energy in a fall is transfered towards the back of the case pushing out the back cover thus loosing a lot of the impacts power. When the back cover has different hinges and does not come of , the impacts energy is much higher.
I am saying this because I always noticed how the battery cover flipped out on the original backcover and never got a screen damage. And letting the phone fall with a different back cover which did not come off, and the screen breaking instantly.
back cover options and breakage
First of all..I have to say the new leather look of back cover looks awesome. Also the Carbonkevlar is damn nice too. However, No back cover is designed to help the phone break a fall. Thats why you choose a protective case as insurance and compromise on hiding its beauty, while covered by ( in my situation, The otterbox defender for my note 2. And so I can have the leather cover hidden, but enjoy its beauty when cleaning, relaxing at home on a soft, safe zone.
If you read this forum..dozens if not hundreds of people who choose to not obsure its beauty with a protective case, take the chance of dropping the fragile phone , and breaking the " Gorilla Glass", scratching the surrounding areas, bezel etc.
Argh sold out of the black with nfc.... Boo urns.

I bought one very similar to this, but I had the NFC sticker already applied. I like mine, but it does make the back a little thicker. It made my Case-Mate Tough a tighter fit, although I probably wouldn't normally put this case on with this back.
I agree with one of the comments made earlier about how it was a little more difficult to put on and off than stock. Since I mostly recharge my phone by replacing batteries rather than using a charger, this could be an issue.
On the other hand, I was trying to see if I could put in an extra 'I' after the engraved lettering and tell folks I had a Note 3. :angel:
Leather back is the worst part of GN3 IMO but at least it'll get covered with a case and/or back replacement

I bought the bottom left one in the picture.
Overall, the quality seems acceptable. It looks better than the Samsung Glossy plastic cover for sure.
Con: I wish the back is a lot softer than it is. It has cheap plastic feel. I wish someone would sell a truly soft back like the N3.

Great to see it in action. Now it's just the phone that's missing. But I think the back cover goes on the back or the phone and not on the case itself. Since plastic on glass will create those smudge effect that doesn't look too good tbh.
Got my cases shipped 18th of March but guess it takes abit longer to ship to Sweden than the US. Got the Crystal Clear and Smoke Crystal.

thanks for the pics
i just ordered 3 of them from ebay
50usd for 3 of them includes the shippment
I actually had no idea these things came with clear protectors for the back. Only complaint I have is that they don't fit around the camera and flash/health sensor very well, and will be distracting if the phone's out of the case at any point. And if you want to temporarily switch cases, the poor cutout will be distracting. Almost perfect, but just barely disappointing :T
At the same time, though, I'm not sure if other companies offer that back adhesive.

You guys should seriously consider the Spigen NeoHybrid. Back of case is ruberized. Sides of case, meaning total peripheral is metal. Actually feels superb to hold and you still have that sense of a metal body the naked GalaxyS6 Edge comes with. Nice larger cutouts for headphone plug as well as USB for those with larger connectors. Absolutely no regrets. I did NOT opt for the optional free front screen protector. I like the look and feel of a phone with the screen as is.

I actually had no idea these things came with clear protectors for the back. Only complaint I have is that they don't fit around the camera and flash/health sensor very well, and will be distracting if the phone's out of the case at any point. And if you want to temporarily switch cases, the poor cutout will be distracting. Almost perfect, but just barely disappointing :T
At the same time, though, I'm not sure if other companies offer that back adhesive.

I mentioned this to Spigen, they said it's so that it doesn't catch on the case?? Not sure how that's possible, as I'm fairly sure they could have made it go right to the edge of the glass and not have any issues with the case, but oh well, maybe (I hope) they tried that before making them in this smaller size
Is it mandatory to place the back screen protector when using this case? Will the case actually scratch the back glass? Thanks in advance.
you have to decide if its worth it to you to be protected, or you don't care..frankly, since I will probably jump in 6 months to the next great thing, I don't care if the back of the phone has a few scuffs, since it doesn't affect the ability to jump with T mobile. Plus, who stares at the back of their phone anyways..
I did put it on anyways, since it was there, and I figured might as well.
But if you buy it outright, or plan on keeping the phone for a while, you might feel differently

I have this case. My phone seems to move around in it. I'm guessing the case is a little to big.

Just an update on this. I have the same case since day 1 of owning the phone. It's got an ungodly amount of scratches, more than any phone I've seen before. Additionally, it has a green tint around the sides. Very disappointed. I would complain to the makers of it but I'm out of the country currently.
Went into a tmobile store to see their demo blue coral and noticed a lot of scuff marks on the bottom rear of the phone. I can only assume they've only had this for a a week and it's already this bad. SMH. They are definitely scratches. I tried rubbing it off and ran my nails through it. Rough AF.

My case is sitting right next to me thank god
Anyone that doesn't immediately get a case for a glass phone, gets what they deserve.
Maybe that's how they made gorilla glass 5 more durable to drops by making it softer. But now more susceptible to scratches.

Speaking of cases, what is everyone planning on getting? I got a cheap Supcase Bettle unicorn, frosted case to begin with. I'll probably get a Spigen Neo hybrid later on.
I'm not going with a case... Toast said they'll have wooden skins ready by the end of the month, so that's what I'm going for.
Maybe leather if they make one. But not metal or plastic.

Ok, looking at that...you convinced me not to use a typical case. What devices have you used this for? How does it protect against drops? I am not one of those who will beat down on their devices but sometimes I do forget it is on my lap while at movie theaters and it will drop....or stepping down from cars. Does it cover all the edges? Looking at the pictures on their websites I can't tell....give me the skinny!

The very edges are slightly visible, but the corners are covered. The sides of the phone are also covered, and they include wooden button caps and camera lens covers. The front isn't covered unless you spend the $10 for a front cover, but if you do then of course the capacitive buttons and fingerprint scanner are left uncovered. The wood isn't thick enough to interfere with usage, thankfully, but it is the thickest and highest quality wood cover I've seen.
I don't have any phones that they make skins for, but I've visited their "factory" in Portland and handled several iPhones and Android phones with their skins attached. They're really nice and high quality, better than similar skins I own for other products.
Take a look at this video for a typical phone installation:
As you can see, nice and easy - just be careful about it, and go slow. It will re-adhere if you mess it up, but the first application is always the strongest by far, and you don't want those edges coming up.
E: I should clarify that you can re-apply in the first 5-10 minutes, but after that the adhesive is 'set' and will not be reusable. It's really strong adhesive, so it isn't going anywhere, but it also does have an oxygen-activated cure.
Skins are a thick sticker and protect as such. They are no replacement for a good case.

Agreed. A skin, even a wooden one, is not a case. They don't offer shatter protection - merely scratch protection. In this case they also make the phone look nicer in my opinion :good:
I would like to mention a small local company. They haven't put out a note 7 case yet. They offer several cases made out of exotic wood, and they look fan-****ing-tastic.
The company is called carved sorry I can't post a link yet

The more requests they get, the more likely they are to make them.
Spigen all the way.

That why i scoff at people that say you dont need a case because either its going to be easier to scratch or easier to shatter.

This exactly. There is a trade off of hardness to toughness. Hardness is what prevents scratching but the harder you make it, the more shatter prone so in essence you lower the toughness

I bought a clear case and it's sitting in a drawer waiting for my unit to arive.

I'm getting a slim tpu for now since the spigen one I want won't ship till after I get my phone. My slim case is already here just waiting.....

ask them where the scratches are from, it could've been dropped on the floor
are most of the scratches at the bottom? that's not where fingers typically rest
