I've installed one of the Slickwraps Natural Series real leather backs on my S6 Edge. It looks really classy and makes it easier to lie on its back since it adds a bit of depth around the camera.
What do you think?
That looks nice. I am going to try one. I just got a Slickwraps Color Series back, which I also like because it looks good and and adds some grip.

Looks great! How much grip does the natural leather back add to the s6 Edge? Can you take a close-up pic showing the thickness along the edge of the phone? Thanks in advance!

Some pics. Definitely adds a nice protective layer much more than regular skins, so much so that you won't even have to worry about not having a case! : )

I got it the black also for the back. I really like it and it is real natural leather and looks great. It also adds more grip to the phone.

I came across this ordinary looking hard case on ebay but on closer inspection it seems to be made from a very different material then your normal plastic/tpu case. Does anyone have any experience with this case?

From the pictures it seems to be similar to the Rock QuickSand cases:

Wow I like this case. I'm half tempted to buy one although I really like a flap on my tablets for when lugging it around. Sometimes my hands get full and I use my tablet as a tray to balance a soda and some snacks. I have a screen protector, but it would be kinda weird.
This case looks very cool though. I really like the blue, gray, and the red. I'm curious how they feel though. Is it like a sandpaper texture or a rubber matte? I have a similar case for my Galaxy Nexus and it barely adds any bulk (why I like it). My Ringke Slim is a glossy smooth finish, unlike this one.
This would be an ideal case for people who just want to provide protection from the back and some side action... but not interested in a TPU case.
Anyone with an IMAK Cowboy case on the LG G2?
Fits OK?
Lot it and love it !!!
Perfect :good:

Could you post some photos of it please!
I am looking at that case but afraid the back is too rough..
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.

I have the Tech 21 Tactical as well. Great case that doesn't add much bulk.
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.
As you know Galaxy S7 edge is very slippery phone. I would like to get good grip with this phone but I don't want to use some thick cases. Anyone know how I can improve grip of this phone? I was wondering if I should buy dbrand skin but I don't know if it will give me good grip if i put this skin only in rear side of the phone. The problem with this skin is that if i want to get skin to side part of the smartphone I need to put skin also in front side but i don't want that.
Use one of those slim rubber cases, like the one from Ringke.
I just bought one of these. Helps massively.

For better grip you can use a skin like dbrand or slickwraps.
Use a screen protector for the back, like the armorsuit body protector, helps with the grip.

Agreed - great case, adds very little bulk but improves grip a lot. It almost feels like it's part of the phone.

SlickWraps Alcantara Charcoal color!
I've been a dBrand user for the longest time and didn't even know this Alcantara and their Natural Leather series (which uses real alcantara and leather material to make the skins) existed. This has to be the best feeling skin there is!
Only thing negative about these is their price... got mine on black friday 60% off. They have 50% off this week also.

Looks pretty slick, how is the thickness of the alcantara skin compared to other skins you've used in the past?
I have Samsung's Black Alcantara case and I do like it, I just prefer the phone to be naked with a thin skin so this would be a good aternative
Brought this one from Easyskinz.com
It's there "GLOSS JET WHITE Skin"
It sticks well and is easy to apply but I would of liked a bit more of a shiny white. There's not really a texture to it either just feels like a sticker.
(It does come with camera, front, side cutouts too)

It's pretty thick so you won't be able to use a case on top of it, i don't like to use cases so this is perfect. It gives you alot of grip, the edges kinda feel sharp but i think over time they will soften up.
They're on sale and today is the last day i think.

Haha don't worry. I shake real bad when trying to do something like this. Just try and angle the camera so you can't see how horrible it is
Aside from the install what about it don't you like?

As far as the bubbles, it's not that bad. I like it. But for the price slickwraps charges, I would not pay full price for it. Just seems a bit much to me for something like this. I was real hesitant to buy it at first but I saw they had a cyber Monday half off deal. So I said sure why not. Gimme a bit and I'll post some pics.
Here's some photos. Aren't the best quality. Were taken with a Nexus 6. As you can see, the bubbles. Those damn bubbles...

Take a needle to the bubbles to pop them, the skin will recover from hole you create when you pop them. Just be careful not to poke too hard.

The vinyl sticker can handle a lot. When you do pop it smooth it out to push any air that is trapped. If you are careful when you pop the bubble it will help.

Cool, very interested to see one of these applied
btw take note of this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Slickwraps/comments/7je121/uslickwrapscom_has_been_banned_from_reddit_for/
apparently both slickwraps and dbrand have been caught brigading on reddit (downvoting any negative comments regarding their products, bad mouthing each others products, shilling, etc)
slickwraps is the worst offender it seems since they have low quality products + shipping issues

i wouldn't pop those bubbles. they'll actually disappear over time. I once put a wrap on and hated the bubbles and wanted to tear it off right away but left it on over night and a lot of the bubbles disappeared. After 4 days or so they all disappeared.

Yea I tried on one big bubble I had and it didn't feel right sticking a needle to the back of my phone. I haven't messed with it and it seems to have gotten a lil better over time. I actually like the rhino and skin combo. Looks good.
