Maybe what I'm asking is impossible, but I'm looking for a case that is flush with the GN2's screen and has no edges. This is a beautiful device and most cases I've seen make it ugly. (This actually goes for most phones.)
Also the edges around the screen make it harder to touch some icons.
Is there such a thing available?
Not saying that you're wrong but it's funny how different preferences we all have. I prefer cases that goes a bit on top of the screen so that the phone can be put face down on a flat surface without risk of damageing the screen.

That's exactly why most case manufacturers leave a lip on the case. It's considered a feature. That being said there is some that don't have one. I think the d3o cases sold by T-Mobile has some like that.
I think the Spigen Ultra Thin Air case will fit your needs. Not completely flush with the top surface of the screen, but pretty dang close -- just a smidgen of "lip" over the edge to keep the phone in place. I'm rocking a white case on a titanium gray N2 and it looks killer. The case doesn't add much to the thickness, adds marginal weight. The sides don't completely wrap around the entire edge of the phone, but I think it's a necessary tradeoff to minimize increased weight and size.
I can take a pic of my phone later to demonstrate, but the pics on the site show it pretty well.

Very good fit and finish on this case, plus you get a nice screen protector.
Here's on that's REALLY thin:

I'm not a fan of the feel though, smooth plastic, some graininess, but it's fine so its smooth to the touch.

I posted pics of it somewhere here, but the lip isn't bad at all, raises the screen up off any surface if i place it face down, so that's a plus in my book.

Is the fit OK with this one? no creaking? How is the thickness compared to the nillkin that you posted?
i have that one, fits too perfect that it is so hard to take off, lip is minimal, may suit ur needs, scratch protection but no drop protection at all

My sister got one HTC One M8 case one month ago. She really love it,it's awesome fast.Her birthday is coming, i consider buy one phone case for her because i always hearing her complaining about the slippery metal case.
I looked through many cases and chose 3 cases from 3 different shops. My final choice based on Price,Quality,Slippery Resistant. Now i am confused ... Guys，what is your opinion，which one would be best gifts? (PS: MY SISTER LOVES CARTOON)

I got the Carbon Fiber on and it is junk. No protection for screen as it has not lip on front. I also think it caused a scratch near the screen as it is hard plastic. It is also hard to get off once it is on.
I just got the Spigen clear case off of Amazon and it is great. Good protection without too much bulk. Clear also shows the nice aluminum back of the phone. Came in around $17.00 with shipping. Highly recommend.

I don't wanna derail this discussion too much, but I was kinda interested in that Carbon Fiber one. I don't care about protection really, I just want something for grip. Is it grippy or is the carbon fibre look just for show? Also on the pictures it looks kinda thick (looking at the area around the main camera)..can you confirm this? Thanks

It is hard plastic. It is not too thick and the sides are prettty thin. It is probably better grip than naked.
Again, I would not recommend as I feel it scratched the phone. I thought the screeen glass was scraped but I think it is the gasket between the phone and glass. It is a very tight fit and the plastic has very little give.
There are many other cases out there so I would recommend staying away from this one.

Go for the Bear Motion Sand case.
http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-H...280&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=bear+motion+sand+m8
Not much in the way of protection for the screen as there is barely any lip, but it makes the phone soooo much easier to hold. Its only like $7 bucks on Amazon. Its super grippy since it has a sandpaper-y type texture on the back. Feels and looks great.
Get the unicorn beetle supcase. The design of this phone is what separates it from the rest and I just cannot understand why one would want to put it in a case that will cover up the beautiful metal back of the phone. I have the supcase and love it.
PROS:
1) Good fit. Case fits phone like a bodysuit yet still allows for easy removal due to the softer and flexible rubber material around the lips.
2) Good quality. All cutouts(including the one for the tiny mic on the back) are precise and spot on.
3) IR Blaster feature on phone works with this case.
4) Case does not make phone look bulky. Phone still looks thin and sleek even with the case on.
5) Good value and great case for the price.
CONS:
Back is frosted/opaque, not clear but still allows the back to show through.
I think so
Your words are quite useful!!!But i still want to ask if they have supcase central part is clear ?

Completely agree..however, was thinking of getting one of these wireless charging pads for the phone..the spigen clear case I currently have would look real ugly with the ccharging coil showing.. same goes for the suoacase, otherwise, it looks quite nice.
One more question!

Clear Supcase
First one would be best,more choice and more surprise
Loving those adventure time cases (I'm a fan myself haha). Definitely get one of those for your sister!
So have you made the final decision? if not, i recommend the wallet case cover. it can protect your sister's whole phone,both the back and the screen.:good:
M8 Case with stand
I bought one M8 Duo Armor GREEN for HTC One (M8) Combo Case with Stand and Holster from Amazon. The case protects my phone well, easy to grip and can stand on desktop for video watching. The case is quite multifunctional. And only sell $7.94.::good:
The Otter Box is the best case for the phone.
Fait Accompli
HTC one m8 Cases
When you are buying phone HTC one m8 they usually offer you the dot view case at the ATT, but the price is little too high, so I got some good and I would say cheap deal on Casezz.com and shipping is free.
Best Case
That SUPCASE on Amazon looks pretty sweet.. It has a ton of positive reviews as well.
My vote goes to the SUPCASE but if your sister likes cartoons one from the first link has got to be the way to go for kudos.
So I received this case for free in exchange for an honest review. First of all I'm very anal about cases and I now own 6 cases for my edge. My favorite before testing out the roocase is the UAG maverick/ice case. Upon opening the roocase i noticed it was a high quality built case. I didn't notice any sharp edges from manufacturing. it felt sturdy and well made and the lines were well constructed. when i put the phone in the case the first negative i noticed as you will see in the front pic is that it fits really well on the sides but the top and bottom don't cover the silver trim of the edge. A millimeter more of case would cover that all up and make it more aesthetically pleasing to the eye from the front. all the ports/ holes line up perfectly. the case feels slim in the hand and it is comfortable to hold. it has protruding nubs on the back of the case so the case lays on those nubs intead of the back face of the case...a nice touch that UAG uses too. I do like the reinforced corners for impact protection and they aren't too enlarged which some case manufacturers do like ballistic. the buttons look metallic. I don't know if they are real metal but they look nice and they are very responsive. and have a great feel to them.One other thing I would change but this could just be a personal preference is that the sides are a little wide and thick and take away a little from the beauty of the edge. the uag case actually designed the sides angled to flow with the shape of the edge which visually adds to the edge sloping effect which this case doesn't. it's totally flat which i think would look fine for a flat screen like the regualar s6 but on the edge , following the edge design keeps the beauty of intact. it's a minor issue. the camera out back if very welll protected. i wish there was a little more design in the white part of the case to give it a little more character and maybe some type of rubber or ridges on the sides to add some grip. I do wish there were more colors available. they have black,white, pink, and red. i wish there was a blue, neon green, etc colors added. i ordered a black on white punisher vinyl sticker to put on the back to add some character. i'lle post pics when i get that on. If you like to switch cases alot this case might not be for you. it is hard to remove since i believe the sides are reinforced with something rigid and they don't flex much.it's the hardest case for me to remove out of my 6.it's hard to get it off the button part. if you don't remove cases often then this is a plus because it's not coming off during a fall or any every day use!Overall i give this case an 8/10. I would say it's my second favorite case out of my 6 cases behind my UAG and says alot with how anal I am about good cases. Thank you roocase for sending me a case. I think with a few tweaks/more color options and word of mouth/advertisement that your company will be a case manuracturer to be reckoned with. thanks again
Got my punisher vinyl sticker on to give the case some character
Hey there Camboteav,
Before all else, I just want to say that the sticker addition that you added onto the case looks incredible! I liked the idea so much that I stole my manager J.Armstrong’s Exec Tough case and stuck a Pokéball on it! :3
Also, I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to provide us with an honest review of the Exec Tough case that we sent out to you. We appreciate the feedback that you had for this case; it carried a lot of valuable ideas and we will definitely take your thoughts into consideration! Much appreciated!
With admiration of your amazing idea,
Bev
I like the looks of the PlayProof case from Evolutivelabs but it is only available for iPhones. Whats the most similar one available for Note 5?

The tech21 tactical cases are always a nice slim but very protective case with impact absorbing edges and corners. Black color only but lovely cases.

If anyone is interested, I have the Crash Guard for the Note5, and really love it!
Gives me drop protection from 11.5 feet, and keeps the sliim profile of the Note5, even allowing you to see the beautiful back of the device! (My Note5 has a Matt Black skin on it, to reduce fingerprints/smudges....)

Thanks, does the color look more like blue or black? doesn't the thicker corners look odd?
Color is a dark blue, but I have the "black" Note5, which in sunlight is actually a royal blue. Bumper color matches very closely to the phones color.
The top and bottom are raised to provide the camera (which sticks out from the back of the Note5) protection, when you set your phone down face up. With the raised top and bottom area, the camera doesn't touch the surface you've set your phone down on.
I honestly don't even notice it, except when I'm really looking at the Crash Guard! (Keep in mind, you're viewing a photo which is giving you a blown up view of the bumper)
Buttons work great, S Pen is easy to remove and reinsert.... I really like this case. If you're interested in keeping your Note5 lightweight and thin, but still having excellent protection from drops, this is a great option!
This is RhinoShield CrashGuard red bumper. Hope this will help anyone who was indecisive between bumper or case.
Front shot
Back shot
The ports with Stylus, the cut outs are pretty big
Back view of the ports
The volume buttons and the elevated back for the camera
The power button and check out how slim this bumper is
The bottom of the back is also elevated and the front lip is just enough to not touch table when facing down
Hope this helps
I've used my Rhino CrashGuard for a few days now and am very pleased with it. I was the tiniest bit concerned about not have a back, but I now feel that it's an advantage as the phone still feels very thin while being handled.

I am using the Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal - I don't think it does curve per se, but it really does feel good in the hand and it is so thin - it is almost like not having a case at all. The case itself is soft plastic so it is mallable - and in a way it does sort of conform to the shape of the S7Edge, but I don't want to overstate it - with the metal frame around it, the frame itself will keep the soft plastic from curving in until your hand puts pressure on the case, if you know what I mean. The firmness of The steel (or aluminium) frame around the case will cause the back to be flat - but because the case is soft, when you hold it it will sort of conform with the shape of the phone. I love it - excellent case- I have always prefered Spigen Cases over the others. Really nice look and feel.
The other thing I like about it - is it makes it easier to hold the S7Edge and type or do stuff and not have the holding hand interfer by accidentally touching the edge.

does it protect the curved screen enough hows the lip ?
usually buy clear ultra hybrid or ringke fusion both give good protection and clarity for the back
i might also consider UAG they have great cases
Funnily enough, this is what I'm after too. I want a case that has a curve on the back similar to the rear of the phone itself.

I got a little bit different one than this from Spigen and it fits great, adds some grip, does not leave finger prints and is very slim. I can't really feel the curve, but it does feel great in hand. There is a slight lip at the top and the bottom of the case, so if you lay it on a flat surface the screen does not hit the surface. The side edges are exposed and it does not interfere with the use of the edge functions. I do think if the phone fell just right on the edge sides it could hit the ground where there is no protection. Hopefully they will make a tempered glass screen protector soon that will take care of this.

I don't believe it offers much protection for the screen - drop the phone screen down and it is likely to break - (depending on how high you drop it and how it lands of course) I think it does offer some decent protection for the phone - the back and the edges - I wish there was a good option for glass screen protectors but I don't think they have perfected that yet for EDGE..for now I am waiting on a pet type screen protector from Skinomi (I think that is how you spell their name).....

the one you bought looks identical to the one I bought - may be slightly different - I just realized that my case also has a "lip" at the top and bottom of the phone that keeps the screen from touching when placed on it's face. The only difference between yours and mine that I can see is the aluminum is gun metal grey on mine - looks great on the phone....
I got this but not got phone yet so can't comment.
Sorry this

the problem with the liquid is that it doesn't provide enough protection for the screen
so i ordered the CLEAR ULTRA HYBRID in the end
now i gotta find some good screen protector..
Bah, I've used the crystal on 3 different phones and they have survived drops and usage just fine.
But I'm not one to buy a nice phone and wrap it up like an ugly mummy either.

Both are nice cases, you will be happy with either.
I'll probably get the Samsung clear case. I like to keep the phone thin and not hide it in a case. I know it's a risk as far as protection but I'm very careful with my phone. *knocks on wood* I will get something to put protect my phone when I put it in my golf bag though. lol
