Hey as title suggests, anyone know or got anything that just covers the side? I dont want anything covering the back. ATM I have the spigen ultra hybrid, when its a little more used and scratched, will probably try to cut the back panel out and see if its works
so any other suggestions?
thanks

where nice, where did you get it from? can you post link please
I put something similar on my iphone5 and it kinda caused rubbed marks on the aluminium on the phone when I removed it. think its best to stick screen protector around sides then use the metal frame.
but it looks good!!

The LordTech Metal Galaxy S6 Edge Bumper is the best that I could find if you are looking for a pure bumper case for S6 edge that would only cover the sides and not the back.

2 STARS: SCRATCHES YOUR METAL AROUND YOUR PHONE
ByAmazon Customeron May 24, 2015
Color: rose redVerified Purchase
Very cheap made metal. It is hard getting it on and off. I nicked my bran new phone with the edge of this bumper. Do yourself a favor and order something that won't harm your phone trying to get it on and off... I gave 2 stars because it doesn't fall out of it, and it has a nice look to it once you get it on.
I wouldn't recommend buying this item!!!
1 STAR: this case fits perfectly and looks very nice on the phone
ByMel Y.on April 23, 2015
Color: black
First off, this case fits perfectly and looks very nice on the phone. The reason I'm giving it a bad review is because the metal frame affects the phone's antenna. My reception was two bars worse with it on and even the Google Maps GPS was placing me half a mile off of where I really was. I almost exchanged the phone thinking something was wrong with it, until I realized it was actually the case. Too bad, because it looks amazing, but obviously wasn't tested on a functioning phone.
Don't waste your time with these metal bumpers. It blocks the phones reception to the point of making it completely useless. Yes it looks nice but what is the point if you can't use your phone? I got the black metal one with gold trim on my gold 128gb edge. I took it off 1 day later and went back to my old case.

yeah i guess the rearth case protects the corners better than the others right ? im talking about the nillkin cases (which is 50% cheaper ) , would need a better comparision though...
Hard to tell but does seem to be a bit better than the Nillkin. Not sure why it's so hard to make a slim case that covers the corners. I realize the stylus is there but they should be able to work around it.
The worst drops are the ones where the corner hits hard - almost always a crackled screen.
If you are buying a thin case like this, it's a foregone conclusion that you aren't looking for protection. I am not certain why people who don't own the case find the need to always point out its lack of top and bottom coverage, even though that's obvious from the pictures. I have bought a Rock case knowing this, to protect the back when sliding it on tables, putting it down in the car, etc. I have a separate case for protection, but these slim cases are not in that category.
To the OP, thx for the link.
I wonder why they mention 2 different models for the case. A int version and US version. Aren't the international and US version going to be the same?

The case is available now on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Feeling-Premium-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B009POUJ5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
Looking at the pics the top at least appears to be better protected that the other eBay slim cases as the case appears to protect the corners (or at least one corner).
Hard to tell about the bottom of the phone though. Looks to protect the corners from the side views but there is no proper pic of the bottom of the phone in the case. If anyone does order appreciate some photos posted here.

I did order one in white. It is expected to arrive 30th Oct-2 Nov on the US. 31th Oct in Venezuela. (If arrives by the 30th)... if not, the case will have to stay at my US address for a while. So Ringke and Amazon better ship fast! Availability is the 29th but i have always have a good experience with Amazon.
I have sitting in my US address my unopened White Galaxy Note 2, Spigen Ultra Crystal and a Original Samsung Black Flip Cover. I expect the white Ringke will make it too in my hands the 31th. Will take some pics...
As i see it is just as the Ringke for Galaxy Nexus. Top and bottom should be exposed ...... corners semi protected.,...
It's not the most ideal protection, I'm more of a TPU person....
But so far the original flip case and the Rearth one would seem the better quality cases out there..., so far. To this date...
I also saw on Amazon the Elago... they seem to be the same as Rearth...., but in doubt picked Rearth from the brand as seeing their job on Galaxy Nexus cases.

?? I had the rearth for Galaxy Nexus. The phone is fully protected for drops - all corners and back are fully covered and sufficient lip to protect the screen in case of a light drop. You sure you had the rearth ringke? See the GNex pics at http://www.rearthusa.com/sprint_verizon_galaxy_nexus_slim.html
Used it for nearly a year and it was the perfect case for me which is why I'm such a fan. It even took more than a few drops with no damage to case or phone. I think the thick cases are overkill for normal day to day use IMHO. An ultra-slim like the rearth, as long as it protects all corners, is fine.
I'm really hoping the note 2 is similar to the nexus case. Looking forward to seeing your pics.
This looks like a good case just ordered it myself. Also grab this one if your interested.

My case just arrived. Too late timing and now the person is gone. It is sitting on my usa ofic and i am in venezuela.. Maybe i can ask for some pics at least for you guys. Will check this thread.
On the rearth web site they now say available on amazon and ebay. Amazon doesn't ship outside the US. Trying to find the eBay seller but no luck so far. If anyone does find it appreciate a link.
I saw it on ebay already. Think it was rearth themselves and not a third party. Try typing them into a seller search.

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

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).

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.

For 10$ you can get a nice Cruzerlite case.
After looking at the 40$ otter box and looking at Arozell case i see no difference..well one anyway the 30$ price difference..this case is nice and heavy..It fits the phone very nice..its a very tight fit but that is a good thing..No problems with the screen protector, screen works as it should only way you can tell the protector is there is by the fell when you tap down...

Less than the otter I like it, feels strong
Imo if you want a strong case to protect your phone, but not have that "ugly" look to it...
Go for patchworks, it's what I'm using right now I love the design, and it's up to military grade standard
I dropped my phone (by accident) from above my head onto concrete (completely **** myself xD) and no problems
Not sure if the Whitestone dome would fit on it though, if someone knows let me know please

The button protrusions on the inner rubber shell fit like they should. The flaps for the charging port, etc. tuck in nice and evenly into the outer hard case.
Have you ever heard for youtube? Google it

I had an Otterbox Commuter on my phone for a few months. I picked up a Patchworks case for a few bucks and have kept it on. It's thinner and feels much better in my hand. I've also dropped my phone more times than I can count and haven't had a single issue with my phone. The few times I dropped my phone with the Commuter my glass screen protector came off.

Which glass was it that came off? My whitestone is still on tight with no lifting after a few drops in the Commuter, but some glass/case combos are definitely compatible than others of course.
I have a Zagg glass protector. I never tried the Whitestone. Zagg upgraded me to the newer Elite Curve and it's been pretty good.
I've gone through a lot of cases, but my favorite has been the Speck Presidio Grip. No other case has as good of grip while still having decent protection and it doesn't add much bulk.
Been using the Spigen Tough Armor on my Note 8 since I got it. The only problem I had was finding tempered glass screen protector for it that had 100% screen adhirsion.
Caseology Legion, looks good and is a bit more rugged, great drop protection (tested by accident )
Best case for me has been the dbrand Grip!! Amazing protection for such a tiny size. Second most used is a UAG Monarch when I am roughing it up at work. Finally the Alcantara Samsung case, just cause I like the feel and look of it

Wish the dbrand grip cases were available for purchase now.....

The Best case I have used is Rhinoshield. It doesn't cover up the whole phone and gives good protection. I have dropped my Phone many times landed on sides and safe.
I actually use the all black version of this one HERE. It's very inexpensive, very strong and really well made. I had the exact same case for my Note 5 and it never got a scratch on it. The case looks even better on the Note 8.

Was using the Samsung OEM silicone case but wanted something that was just as slim but also covered the camera glass because it's so big and pops out. Found this $9 case on Amazon. It has front raised lips for drop protection (minimal) and is actually even slimmer than the Samsung case so it feels like it's barely there. Unblock glossy TPU, it is matte black which I also prefer. I have a video of it here next to the official Samsung one: https://youtu.be/fMflVeSzkwU
I just ordered one...I'll let you know how I like it on Wednesday
Looks good. Wish it came with more color options though..
Good luck with the 3rd mic working properly in that case, though.

But most if not all the cases cover the microphone making it useless?

Not all. I have the ESR Tough Alliance, the Ringke X Fusion and Ringke Air-S. The Ringke cases have some 2mm of space between the camera bump. These cases do not cover the mic. The ESR cases are particularly better for its slanted sides on the camera mic side. It captures audio from the slanted side more effectively.
The Moment thin case is very nice and I think it is what you are looking for. I have it along with several Spigen cases.

You can download the user guide. It's there on page 12.
I went with a case with a sliding cover. By my standards I find the case pretty thin, but I typically go with really rugged cases, so my case thickness standards may differ from yours.

Hey thanks a lot for posting info on this case. Got mine today. Now you can hold device without the worry of fingerprints on camera..thanks again.

3rd mike useless outside of "scumbag" mode!
BUT! The camera glass shouldn't be covered like that.
Just as you should never put a runner over carpet!
Over time when you think you are protecting what's underneath you will find you're doing far more damage.
Why? Dirt gets underneath and will abrade the hell out of the glass.
I'll take my chances, sorry.
Ditto for screen. Can't stand having protectors over screens, ESPECIALLY curved screens. And too, they literally wreck the FP reader action.
JMHO, of course.

I like the case, but am wondering is there a good holster in which this case fits?

I ordered the version of this case with the built in ring stand on the back. Not only are you totally right about the danger of the camera glass getting scratched, but the entire case had no interior protection material to keep grit or dust from scuffing up the phone itself over time. It also didn't fit snug enough to make this issue moot. Immediately returned....
I ordered the LATERCASE its thin but still covers the camera Bump, has been shipped and my note 20 ultra won`t be delivered until the 19th so we`ll see how it goes.

I received my latercase a few days ago and really like it. Its the thinnest most minimalistic case you can get imo with camera bump protection..

To me, that's the best cover. Where else can be purchased?

Aliexpress for a cheaper price. Be ready for a long delivery period though of at least a month if not more.
