Review of the Roocase Plexis Case for the Galaxy S6 Edge

Hi every one, this is my first review on xda so if i missed anything or you guys have any other questions id be happy to answer. I received this case for review about 2 weeks ago, it came in a neat box with a magnetic flip so you can see the full case in the package. Every benefit of the case is explained on the box. My first impression when I took it out was that you notice quality right away, yes cases nowadays are made of cheap materials and whatnot but the time and thought spent on designing these and making them better for the average user I bet is substantial. I like how it is somewhat of a hybrid case because the back is hard plastic and the sides are softer but still sturdy tpu. The corners were blown out just enough for drop protection, not too small not too big. I love how the volume and power button are also protected, and the case has its own built in buttons to replace it instead and those will take the damage over time. The buttons feel good, and they have the click when you press which is also nice. Taking a look when the phone is flat, the case protects the camera on the back by having little curved stands on the corners of the case. And it also protects the screen face by overlapping the softer tpu on the bottom and top of the case around the phone. All the cut outs are precision cut, so connecting your usb nicely keeps it tugged in. I bought a cheap single coil wireless charger and it does the job with this case on with no problem. I work as a forklift operator, moving big granite slabs, with having a nice camera on the s6 I am constantly getting off to take pictures of slabs, its also somewhat of a dusty environment at times. The case compliments my work by not being in the way and adding extra grip while holding the phone to take pictures or just using the phone. Its definitely not dust proof but it holds up nicely, I would clean it about once a week to take the phone out and clean the dust back there. Ive only had two other cases for this phone which was a cheap tpu case which was junk and a body glove case which was minimalistic protection compared to this case, it didn't have protection for the volume and power buttons, way more dust would go in, the camera wasn't as protected and neither were the corners of the phone. Another plus with the Roocase is the clear back, you can see how nice our phones back glass still is. All in all, great bang for your buck in my opinion, i rather go for the smaller less protected cases that keep our phones sleek and nice looking than the full fledged otterbox defenders or commuters that give loads of protection but crappy usability and look to the phone, too much protection makes the phone look like a samsung s3 in my opinion and way too bulky to use with one hand. So there it is, my first review, i am very happy with this case and would recommend it to anyone looking for a minimal but still protective and very nice looking case.

Hi srkoza,
Thanks for your first review and it definitely was a good one! I'm personally an S6 Edge user and I feel the same way about my Plexis, though I do a constant switch between this and the Exec Tough, just for the fun factor.
On another note, we're happy you are enjoying the case and hope it provides all the functionality you need!

Review: Poetic Affinity case

I just received this case in the mail and I'm already loving it. The case design is really nice. I have the black sapphire phone and received the frosted clear case. It matches really well, but it would probably have matched with the black much better. The clear case shows off the sexiness of the note 5. The branding on the case isn't too overwhelming. There's a P in the middle that is right between the words Samsung and Galaxy Note 5. It kind of looks perfect sitting there. It's also branded with Poetic near the bottom of the case. I kind of wish it wasn't there. Rather it had been clear instead. The name of the case, Affinity, is on the side of the case. The case is nice and grippy and it doesn't hurt the hands at all. The back X design looks like a normal design but it serves a purpose. The corners of the X are used for bumper protection and the lines running up and down the case is used to raise the phone from a flat surface a bit. Most of the cut outs are aligned pretty accurately, with the exception of the bottom speaker. The holes are not quite aligned. I don't think it will take away any sound quality but I'm a stickler for perfection sometimes and it bothered me a little. The frost on the sides of the case kind of takes away the silver metal trimming of the phone, but overall it's still a very nice case. I have had Poetic cases before and have never been disappointed. I can highly recommend them.

Do you find a need to ask to merge thread in every review?.. Everyone has the right to create their review and thread. Is not against xda rules if it bothers you keep scrolling...

Even the manufacturers of some of these cases that everyone is reviewing here have asked to keep the reviews all in one thread. Just a thought to keep the clutter at a minimum. Also it makes it easier for people who are looking for a review of a case to read through one thread rather than 4 or 5 or 6 or more....
No one said you aren't entitled to your own review. Just don't know why you need your own thread to do so. [emoji53]

I received mine as well and I like the build quality of this device. I will say that I recieved this case for free, but I will try to be as objective as I can about the case.
Protection:
Its a step above a TPU only plastic case, with clear material on this less likely contact areas to show off the phone, and black "rubberized" bumper integrated to give more structural protection. Where you might crack the corners on a tpu case, the bumper will protect the phone, offer better shock protection and most likely allow the case to survive some impacts. The bumper also crosses along the back of the case and is raised up a little so that the clear plastic doesnt touch the surface, reducing scratches. The bumper around the screen is raised above the device about 1mm or so, which will provide some additional screen protection. The buttons are sealed inside the bumper case, which is nice to prevent dust build up and also protect the switches from impact.
Look:
I got the black and clear. The clear plastic lets me see the good looks of the phone, and the bumper material gives the case a tougher look.
Function:
Buttons work normally, with no weirdness. The cutouts for the speakers dont seem to be ligned up with the holes on the speaker, but I cant tell if there really is any reduction in sound quality. The cut out for the stylus is open enough to not make it a pain to get the pen, without sacrificing protection, as far as I can tell. mini usb and headphones jacks are also easily reached.
The sides of the case along the sides has textured slashes that greatly improve the grip, which I really like. What I dont like is that compared to a slim case, you are adding some size to the width of the phone, but its definatly a trade off given the step up on protection vs a thinner plastic case, or none at all.
Last, wireless charging worked as normal. Reception for wifi and cell service was unaffected.
Whats good:
Step up in protection from a thin plain plastic case, build quality is great.
Whats not:
Makes the phone larger than naked or with a thin case. A tad heavier than one as well.
I would use this case mostly if I know the device is going to be in harsher conditions than day to day. I use a thin case for work, and I use no case at home.

Here's my review to keep things together and in one place
First off the case itself looks fantastic, perhaps a little light on my black phone but that is personal preference, because it is actually protective and not just a thing clean skin it does show and lightens the color overall. That said the design is good and actually looks nice, it has raised edges that are opaque that will help prevent the rest of the case from scratching and keep its looks.
I actually spent a good five days with the case before writing my review to see how it held up and I am very happy with it so far, I am likely going to keep it on for at least another week and then update this review, of course it may stay on longer than that but I often switch up cases so we will see. The ease of pushing buttons even compared to my Tech 21 case is very impressive.
Pros:
The buttons are very responsive, much more so than the other cases I have tried.
The amount of grip the case adds is great, yet it still slide in and out of my pocket easily.
It will draw looks, the phone already does on its own and this case mostly highlights its features.
Cons:
It would look better on a white note than a black one.
Nothing else I have found so far.

Yeah, received mine yesterday so opinion may change, but here it goes for my initial review.
So far this is one of my top favorite cases that I have. Not nearly as slippery as the Obliq Case that I ordered. The only thing I miss, and this is personal opinion, is a built in kickstand, but I also realize that can add a little on the cost. Either way though the flow and the grip of the case work fairly well.
Pros:
Less slick than the clear Obliq case which is nice considering the other one would just slide right on out of your pocket.
Has nice grip on the sides and the buttons work nicely as well.
Like the clear case with black
Cutouts are where they should be and work just fine
Cons:
None really, maybe a slight concern on being able to see any and all scratches the case gets, but that is what cases are for

One of the best
Here is my review of this case as well copied from Amazon after using the case for the past week.
This is one of the best cases I have used so far for the Note 5, and I have tried/used a lot of them.
Pros:
1. Protective without adding much bulk
2. Cut out for S Pen is perfect
3. Adds much needed grip to a slippery phone
4. Lets the beauty of the phone show through
Cons:
1. Hole cutouts for the speaker holes don't line up perfectly
This case really is a nice one, and for the price, you are getting a great case. I have the clear/black case, and really like the style that it adds to the phone. I have a slickwraps skin on the back of the phone, and it shows through nicely thanks to this design. I absolutely love the little grip edges that they put on this case. It maintains comfort in the hand, while adding some much needed grip. The cut out for the S-pen is ample and makes it very easy to press the clicking mechanism to get the pen out. What makes this case protective is what Poetic has done here with the corners of the case. The corners are nicely reinforced, and should provide some nice shock protection to the phone if it is ever dropped (I hope mine never is, but it is nice to have the protection.) The only real con I could find with this case is that for some reason, Poetic decided to make individual hole cutouts for the speaker section of the phone. For whatever reason though, those holes in the case do not line up with the speaker holes themselves and are off set from each other. Maybe Poetic should have just had one large cutout here for the speaker. Despite that mis-alignment however, the case does not seem to impede the sound at all.
Overall this case is a big win and I highly recommend it.
Disclaimer: I was provided this case by the manufacturer for review at no cost. However, this has not influenced my review in the slightest, and I do still highly recommend it.

How much actual width does it add to the device? I'm looking to get a Qi cradle for my car and need to know if it will work with this case on.
Someone give it a quick measure for me, please? Thanks in advance!
t.

I sent mine back, scratches just looking at the thing. Really a shame because I actually liked the case.

Review: Poetic Affinity case

Full disclosure: I was given this case for free, the vendor is seeking reviews. But, as I've said before, I will give an honest review of a free product regardless. People's feelings be darned.
Product arrived in a timely manner. Packaging was plain, I'm assuming it was non-retail. There were no markings or branding of any kind. No instructions, either. Not that they were really needed I guess, but I would assume that a retail purchase would be packaged, and not arrive in a plain padded envelope.
The case by itself looks, well, clear. Mine is clear with opaque rubber (TPU, Poetic calls it). I guess a model with black TPU is available. I don't want to sound like I'm bashing the case, because I'm not, but it is kind of unremarkable to look at. And I don't think that's a bad thing. After all, this case is designed to show off the phone, not just to show off. And that is apparent when it's actually on the phone. It hugs the shape of the device and doesn't compete for your attention.
The case is made of rigid plastic. Normally, I'm not a huge fan of hard cases, as I feel they can be rough on phones. But, the note 5 has an aluminum frame instead of the Standard issue Samsung chromed plastic. And there is clearish rubber around the frame as well as the lip that goes over the screen. It is along the sides as well. That made me feel better about it being a rigid plastic.
The case is one piece that pops in firmly but easily enough. Let me tell you, this baby is snug! And I mean that in a good way. Takes a little doing to get it out once it's in (again, I hope the retail packaging has instructions, in case there's some "trick" to it). But this thing really hugs the phone tightly. Solid fit. There is a very thin lip over and around the merest edge of the screen which holds the case on. It's a pretty impressive design, because the case basically clips onto the aluminum frame, leaving the entirety of the screen exposed. But there is no fear of the phone popping out of this case.
There is a slight lip that keeps the screen from coming in contact with the table when placed face down. A slight lip, but it is there, even with a glass screen protector on my phone.
It's made of clear polycarbonate with a clearish TPU on the corners, around the screen and in two raised rails running the long way down the back. It is comfortable in the hand, allowing the holder to feel the contours of the phone without adding bulk.
Along the sides, there are upraised ridges for grip. Which is good, because the smooth polycarbonate could feel a bit slippy if not for the TPU rails on the back, rubber around the lip of the case and ridges on the sides. This case has a good, reasonably grippy feel. Those who do not like the feel of smooth plastic against their palm may not dig it, but it feels pretty good to me.
The buttons are perfectly lined up, and very very clicky. One cool thing about the volume buttons: instead of being one big rocker style button for VOL up/down (many cases "join" the two buttons), the Poetic Affinity case keeps them separated just as the phone was designed. It looks sharp and deliberate, and provides some useful tactile feedback.
The TPU around the frame and the rails along the back ensure that your phone will stay put wherever you set it, which is nice.
The ports are almost all lined up perfectly (more on that in a sec). The SPen port seems wide open, which is pretty common for cases of this type. The bottom speaker, instead of being a cutout, is 8 holes drilled or molded or whatever into the case. They don't really line up with the actual speaker holes (at least in mine). But I have tried with and without the case, and I cannot tell any difference in the sound, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal. It isn't to me, anyway. But it will be to someone, which is really the only reason I mention it.
The clear polycarbonate gets smudged up with fingerprints in no time, I wipe mine frequently.
The combination of polycarbonate and strategically placed TPU seems pretty sturdy. I feel like my phone is adequately protected against day to day hazards. The case feels solid, complete and protective. The placement of the TPU seems designed to protect well against average corner drops or flat drops onto the front or back.
In conclusion, if you want a phone case that protects you from everyday hazards, and showcases as it encases, this is a good one to comsider. It is not at all expensive, and seems to offer protection that is definitely a cut above most "budget" cases I have seen. I have mentioned a couple of things that may give some people misgivings about this product (smooth plastic back, misaligned speaker holes), but for me neither of these things is a deal breaker, or even a significant concern. Your mileage may vary, etc. I like this case quite a bit.

Did we really yet another separate thread for this? You could have added it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3220298

Yeah I didnt see that thread sorry all

I have noticed that the TPU gets a little dingy looking and is not easy to clean. I can't imagine that would be a problem with the black TPU, but I have the opaque TPU on mine. Still love the case, still using it, but if I were buying one, I would go with the black TPU.

Just got my poetic affinity case. It's very nice! Love it

*Review* Poetic Affinity Note 5 Case

Hi XDA,
I know this goes against my own advice, but I wanted to start a new thread on this to make sure my review stood alone. On to my review...
The Packaging:
The case comes packaged in a clear plastic bag for simple presentation. While nothing fancy, it does the job and keeps the case affordable.
The Look & Feel:
This review is of the clear version with the black along the frame. It is a very appealing looking case and the black lines on the back of the case aren't just for looks, they also serve a purpose. Not only do they add nicely to the aesthetics, they also are rubberized so they add grip. Grip for both while you are holding the phone and while it sits on a desk to prevent sliding. Those lines extend out to each corner of the case and there is an indention in the black rubberized plastic. Another nice touch which is mostly aesthetic in this instance. Along the right and left side of the case, there are slanted lines that protrude from the clear plastic. They are a frosted material, so once again, it adds nicely to the aesthetics but also adds some nice grip. A very nice touch. To finish things off, there is some company and model branding. There is the Poetic brand "P" logo on the back center of the case, the "Affinity" model name along the back right side and to finish things off, the "Poetic" brand name on the bottom back side on the black rubberized plastic material. All of them aren't very intrusive at all.
The Protection:
On the protection front, I would say it is medium grade. It is definitely not in the heavy duty category, but it would definitely protect for the everyday bumps and small drops. I think it is a perfect amount of protection for someone who doesn't want a super slim case that won't have much protection, but doesn't want anything as bulky as an Otterbox or even UAG for that matter. As I said, this one falls right about in the middle. It will do the job in most normal situations.
The Build:
To keep this pretty simple, this is a well made case overall with some hiccups. The case feels good and substantial enough to be confident in it. Something that often doesn't get enough attention is how the buttons feel with a case on. I am very happy to report that the button feedback with this case is nothing short of fantastic. The buttons are actually easier to press with this case on than without it. There has been a time or two where it was almost too easy to press and I accidentally woke my phone up. But it's pretty rare and not an issue in most situations. Now to the two hiccups that I have found with this case, and they both fall into the build category. First, the speaker cutout holes are not accurate. With that being said, I haven't experienced a noticeable degradation in sound quality or loudness. Last, the clear plastic does seem to scratch a bit. I have been pretty careful with the case and have used microfiber cloths to wipe it down, but I've noticed some swirl marks under certain light. But as I said, it's not noticeable at all times and it's not very heavy. I consider it a minor issue that probably won't bother most people.
The Verdict:
Overall, this case is a win. It is well made, protects a respectable amount, and has the looks to match. And all at a reasonable price of under $12. Other than a couple of minor issues, I have no problem recommending this case to anyone in the market for a nice case that will protect, show off your phone and look good in the process.
The Score:
9/10

Top Rated Case For S7 edge from Amazon Round up Review : Heavy duty , lightweight

Hi , There .
My name is Ben Hoffman , if you are familian with A C forum you will know i am the formed Admin and i was quite good at accessories.
I just joined this forum a couple days ago . So here we go , let us talk about cases .
And the boss of this forum sent me an email , i am so flatted , he is such a nice guy .
Otterbox SYmmeter Case
This is a great case, I got my galaxy s7 edge alot earlier then I expected to, the phone was scheduled to be released on the 11th but I ended up getting it on the 1st of March!! Now to me this was good and bad, the good I HAVE A NEW PHONE YAY!!!, the bad? well...I have no case.... SO luckily AMAZON was there to rescue me from my issue, I purchased this otterbox case, because in the past I have used Otterbox and not only are the cases good, so is the customer service, great company. This case is very sturdy, and It feels light on the hands which I love, the only complaint I had was that since the case was on so tight, that my screen protector started to peel, other then that however it is a great case and I would highly recommend it
After a few days I purchased a Invisible sheild screen protector, and now the screen protector issue is solved invisible shields quality is amazing it covers the entire phone, I would not recommend buying a knock off screen protector only because it seems that they do not fit the edges on the screen properly. I hope this helps
Two Weeks Later
I have to say that I've tried out a few other cases such as caseology spigen ect but I end up coming back to this case because the buttons are easy to press, and it just feels sturdy in the hand. People are complaining that this case messes up their screen protector but the reality is that since the phone has edges it's going to be harder for adhesive to really stick on the surfaces of the screen. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING A WET NOT DRY screen protector as I do notice that the dry screen protectors seem to have the edges lift. I still love this case and I really do think it's the best out of the options out there at the moment. I would steer away from the bad reviews as again you pay for quality, you not only get a great case you get a company with an amazing lifetime warranty. It's a win win for you.
If you're familiar with the OtterBox Commuter series for other phones, this case will feel very familiar. It fits very snugly, which I feel gives it great protection. Some have complained that it fits too snug. I did not find this to be the case, but that may be because I put my phone in a case and leave it in. If you plan on constantly taking it out of a case and putting it back in, this case is most likely not for you. It is a dual layer case. The inner layer is a synthetic rubber like material that helps absorb shock, while the outer layer is a hard plastic.
Pros:
-Dual layer protection
-The case keeps the vitals recessed while still giving access to the edge functions and not obscuring the camera.
-Fits very snugly, keeping the phone from ever popping out of the case unintentionally.
-Not very bulky. This allows the phone to easily be put in a pocket and taken out without hanging up on clothing.
-The speaker is exposed, allowing sound quality to not be compromised.
-The covers for the sound jack and micro-USB port protect the ports very well, while still allowing access when needed.
-The buttons on the side have a very tactile responsive feel to them when encompassed properly by the case.
Cons:
-Unlike previous Commuter Series cases, it does not come with a screen protector.
-The sound jack and micro-USB port can be somewhat difficult to access with some cords due to the amount of padding on the case.
-Despite being a pro, the snug fit is also a con as it can cause screen protectors to start to peel up. You have to be very careful when putting the phone into the case when a screen protector is on to ensure it doesn't peel.
Overall, I think this case is great and gives more than adequate protection without adding much bulk to the phone. My biggest gripe is that lack of screen protector being included, as previous Commuter series cases did come with them in the packaging.
In order to get a good fit when putting the phone in this case, I recommend taking the two layers apart first. Insert the phone into the rubbery layer. Make sure that your phone is fully encompassed and not loose. Next, snap the phone with the rubbery layer into the hard case by angling it in from the bottom to the top.

2 The DALLAS LAZER Slim case
The Artech21 Galaxy S7 Edge case fits my phone really well. The edges on the top and bottom are raised to protect the screen when the phone is lying facing down. The edges on the side are made in such a way that it protects the edges of the phone while also giving you easy access to the curved Edge of the S7 Edge phone.
The textured pattern at the back feels soft rubber/plastic and prevents the phone from slipping from your hands. It looks good and does not appear cheap like some other cases. The border is made of plastic and has a metallic look to it. It looks good, however, could be more heavier.
The volume and the lock button are covered by the case's buttons, which are again, pretty good. The buttons and the holes are all at proper places and do not interfere with the charging cable etc.
The camera cutouts are wide enough to avoid any flash related interference in the photos. The hearbeat monitor is also easily accessible from the camera cutout.
It just saved my phone.I slapped it on my Galaxy S7 Edge easily, put it in my pocket. I pulled it out with 2 fingers and mildly aggressively. It went flying from my hip off the stone patio table, off wooden banister, and finally took rest on the tiled front porch. Not 15 seconds in, I had the worst drop of my new phone. At this very moment, this case became locked on my phone. There was not a single scratch, scrape, dent or marks from the terrible fall. Superb protection.
Overall, its a decent case with a decent amount of protection for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and I would recommend it

UAG ASH CASES
I smashed my Note 5, glove box incident, where my case couldn’t have helped me, so I ended up getting an S7 Edge recently. The first few days that I had the phone I was an absolute mess because I did not have a case for it. I ordered a case from UAG, as they are the cases that I have used in the past for almost everything that I have had. In going through the cases on the market, this is by far the best that I’ve come across, but, it still seems a little weaker than a few of the other UAG cases that I have had in the past.
After getting the phone I went to Best Buy to see what was on the market while I waited for the UAG case to come, nothing really stood out to me as being the perfect solution, as a lot of chases did not seem that durable. Also, my biggest pet peeve with most cases is that they give a bit in the heat, especially the Speck cases which are usually pushed by T-Mobile. UAG has consistently given me a case that doesn’t give when it is hot out, which this one is no exception, and even after leaving my phone in the car a bit, it still did not slip off or become super loose.
The case is durable, but in comparing it to past UAG cases, it is a bit more malleable than the others, which gives me a bit of pause. The back of the case is blue, but also transparent. I’m not sure if it is standard for all S7’s, but the guy at T-Mobile put my bar code information across the back; you can actually see it through the case on a few pictures. The transparency would be one reason why I am giving it four stars, but also the flexibility of the case is another. Granted, this makes it very easy to put the phone into the case.
The case also has ridges, which are good, in that it holds the phone in place, but, if you have a screen protector, one of the things that will happen is that it is very prone to pop it up. If you read a lot of reviews for screen protectors, this is an on-going issue with the S7, and not the UAG case, as almost all of the cases have this feature.
Overall, a touch phone to design for, but certainly the best one that I found for the S7 Edge. The stars are in ranking the UAG case against the other UAG cases I have had, especially for the original Note Edge (steeper edge and only one side), which seemed to be more durable and less transparent.
Also, sorry if my pictures are horrible, my camera (that’s not on my phone) is not the greatest.

Vivid Arkansas Case
The first thing I would like you to know about this case is the fact that the inner section is not removable. It is lightweight, durable and the overall craftsmanship is of great quality. The color is not too loud but is actually very unique and fashionable.
With the inner section being a little more flexible, it allows a more comfortable press to the volume and power button. It’s ergonomically designed structure fits comfortably in the palm of my hands without being uncomfortable or slippery. It contours to the shape of my phone without looking bulky.The case has a snug fit and also provides my phone with great protection.
Accessibility: It has an easy access to all my phone’s ports along with an easily accessible and wide enough cut of to accommodate my phone’s camera. I was able to use all ports and buttons effectively.
Charging capability: it does not affects my phone’s capability of charging successfully with my charging adapter. Another great thing is the fact that it also does not interfere with wireless charging.
Flexibility : Firm and dual layer casing with the inner portion being extremely flexible; however it is easy to install.
Protection: Provides maximum protection with its dual material, it is very strong and sturdy.
Type of case: Day to day, casual, fashionable
Finger print smudges: Not evident
Drop test: phone remained intact and protected
Note: I am as of yet to set up my phone or even insert a sim card or apply a screen protector(phone might appear messy), video is for demonstration purposes only. Duer to the fact that the inner section of the case is kinda hard be sure to put it on from the top down,i realize it applies less stress on the volume and power buttons.
I would recommend this case if you are looking for a convenient way to protect your phone while having a durable case that will go the distance with you. It also makes a great fashion piece while getting you complements. I hope this review was helpful and before I go I will mention that I have received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review and based on its performance and functionality it has earned its rating. I love it.
Please see the following breakdown for why this product deserves 5 stars:
Ergonomics:
The case is very comfortable to hold. It does not feel too slippery in your hand, while at the same time being easy to clean (it does not pick up too much dirt). On the front side of the phone, the edges are raised so that the phone can be placed face down. The raised edges are rounded so that they do not feel uncomfortable when the phone is in use (at your ear).
Appearance:
I really like the design of the case. The plastic border crosses by the camera offering a very nice contrast. This would be more apparent in different colors, but I really like the subtle appearance of the color I chose.
Functionality:
The volume and power button are aligned perfectly. The buttons are very receptive when pushed and the case in no way reduces their use. The cutouts at the bottom of the phone are large enough for many different types of cable.
Conclusion:
This case is a great option for anyone looking for a slim design that will still offer adequate protection for drops. Although the design is a personal choice, I really do like the appearance of this case on my S7 Edge Silver phone. I did receive this product for free in exchange for my honest unbiased review. I rely on other Amazon reviews on a daily basis, and always provide honest feedback (and I think the pictures speak for themselves).

No Hiding , Show Off your phone Clear Case
The first thing I love and appreciate about this case is the fact that it has a dual layer which provides flexibility and is completely removable. I find this to be of much convenience where I typically remove the outer section of the case first and apply the inner layer to the phone before adding the outer layer. This provides a much more smoother installation without having too much pressure being applied to the volume control and power button. By following the instructions in the user manual also works effectively.
As it pertains to fit and structure of this case it is very slim lightweight durable and the overall craftsmanship is of great quality. It has a snug fit and all the ports were easily accessible including my camera, microphone, charging port, volume control button, power button and heart rate monitor. What I love the most about this case other than its overall protection is the fact that it also supports wireless charging.
Features of this particular case include:
-Raised lips and corners that provide protection from surface shock and scratches
-Precise cutouts perfectly aligned with the buttons.
- Color is even throughout; however I will note that the rose gold color might appear pink to others however it is perfectly fine on my behalf.
- Transparent
- Fingerprint smudges are slightly evident, however it is very easy to clean and care for
In comparison to other jelly cases I found that this case in particular provides more protection than others that i' ve experience and is of a more hard jelly case.

I would recommend this case if you're looking for an effective way to provide protection to your phone while having a fashionable well-designed case to go the distance with you. I hope this review was helpful and before I go I will mention that I have received this product in exchange for my honest and unbiased review and based on its performance and functionality it has earned its rating. I love it. Please feel free to comment any questions that you might have below, i will try to respond in a timely manner, thank you for reading my review and happy shopping!

15.98 dollars @Amazon

ordered the Obliq Slim Meta (No, not "Metal", they're tying to be very "meta' about the whole thing) from Amazon. I messed up and ordered the gray titanium instead of the silver, then re-ordered the silver. So before I sent the gray one back, I thought I'd snap some pics to share, along with my thoughts.
Basically I'm really happy with the case. It offers decent protection but doesn't add too much bulk, the top and bottom of the case elevate the screen off of any flat surfaces, and the sides have enough width to them that it has solved the problem of accidental side taps.
The case is a two-piece deal with a hard metallic-looking plastic shell over a softer rubber cover. The rubber cover extends beyond the hard shell in certain places. The silver is a great match for my silver S7E, although the gray didn't look too bad either.
Grip is greatly improved with a little bit of texture on the back, and the case fits well. The buttons work great, I'm able to attach headphones and a USB cable though the cut-outs, and wireless charging works with a Nokia DT-900.
Overall it's well-,made case that looks and feels great and offers about as much protection as you can get short something really big like an Otterbox.

Speck Candygrip Case
Before ordering I thought it was quite a nice looking case but I was afraid the rubber ribbing on the case was a gimmick. It seems that the majority of products these days are full of gimmicks. Upon receiving the case I've been pleasantly surprised. It's really everything that I want from a case. I like it even more than my last case that was made by Tech21 Impactology.
The case has a hard plastic outer shell. Because it's a very glossy plastic material it is very prone to receiving scratches. My case already came pre-scratched at the very top and very bottom. I suspect this was from rubbing against the product packaging. I'm curious to see how long it will take until the case is scratched up enough to start bothering me. Time will tell. However the glossy black with the gray ribbing looks beautiful. It is truly a great looking case and would not look out of place anywhere. Inside the plastic there is an extremely thin coating of silicone on everything. This probably makes it grip your phone to prevent it from falling out. There are also silicone lips on the front top and bottom allowing you to place the phone face down without risking scratches to the screen.
I'm not going to drop test my own phone to find out. But I feel that this case give very acceptable durability to a phone that is naturally more prone to damage than others. The s7 edge screen is great looking but I believe the design also increases your chances for damage. This is a well designed case and it gives you complete coverage to all areas of the phone. The small lip on the top and bottom follow the curve of the screen allowing the case to provide protection to flat drops of the screen as well as drops to the edge of the screen. I am confident that this case provides as good or better protection as any other case that is the same style and thickness. I've seen poorly designed cases. They're all over. This is not one of them.
The case feels great in your hand. I really hate the feel of the s7 edge without a case. It's the most slippery phone I've ever felt and the narrow edge gives you less to hold on to. With this case I no longer feel like the phone is going to slip out of my hand at any minute. The soft silicone ribs on the edges grant a firm grip to the edges finally. Trying to hold on to the phone by the edges before the case made for nervous moments.
The fit of the case is perfect. You slip either top or bottom in first then push on the opposite end. It is very easy to both install and remove from your phone. I saw other reviews that stated it's difficult to install/remove. The only way I could see having difficulty is if you are trying to put it on side to side instead of top to bottom. Looking at the case it's kind of obvious that it will go on better by starting with either the top or bottom.
All the buttons and port cutouts are dead on. I love the giant opening for the USB and headphone jack. No more taking cases off for large plugs. Very good design here.
I can't say enough good things about this case. Great design leads to great execution. This case is a keeper. The only small complaint is about the packaging providing scuff scratches to the product before getting a chance to unbox it. They were minor but I feel that a new product should always look new. May need a change to the packaging setup.

i will add more reveiw when i receive them
thx xda and the boss brandon

Something that would be really useful is if you could give us your impression of how slippery each case is. I don't want a slippery case no matter how thick and protective it is. Avoiding drops is better than protecting it after you've dropped it.
Thanks.

The Speck Candyshell Grip will always have the best grip. I've tried well over 100 different cases between my past 3 phones and no case has better grip so far.

The back is soft TPU material right?

I have been using the POETIC Affinity Series. I got the clear one to really show off my gold phone. I seem to always buy their product no matter the phone. Its thin but gives minor drop protection. I would not go bouncing it off a roof. lol
The clear back is not a fingerprint magnet for those that seem to really worry about that.

i have been contacted by poetic and i ordered the cases from them . But the photo sucks , right ? i wish they can realize that and produce a more attractive case

I really like this case. It's sleek and looks nice.
Pros
1. Phone fits snugly
2. Raised lips at top and bottom for extra protection
3. Look good
4. Holds up to 3 cards and easy to open
5. Buttons line up perfectly.
6. Double lining case for extra protection
Cons
1. Screen protector doesn't stay on due to tight fittings. (Solution: file down edges with file or scissors)
2. Card slot is very tight
3. Compared to my Onway case, this feels cheaper and more malleable.
4. Card slot could be a tad bigger.
Overall, it's a very nice case and I highly recommend it especially for someone who doesn't like carrying their wallet.

SGM Rugged Case Review
First the pros. There is nothing safer for your phone than this case. It isn't going anywhere. Even trying to open it back up after enclosing it is very difficult.One review said that the covers that cover your earphone port and charging port were unnecessary, I disagree, although they could be a nuisance, I didn't find them to be a problem, and they help keep out dirt and other debris. I also did not find the case to be "too much". It wasn't too bulky or goddy (which I hate). the S7 is bigger and heavier and I actually found peace of mind with it in this case because I am almost positive that when it drops, it's doomed.
But there are cons. The front screen protector sweats (yeah, I thought that weird also). Also it doesn't register your finger press all the time or very well. It would miss keys, press the wrong ones, or if there was a scratch on it lose that key all together. Sometimes the volume keys were harder to press. Earlier I said that the port covers didn't bother me and I understood why they were there, the volume and power keys, I don't. They are completely covered and difficult to press at times, and again you could think you locked your phone, but it didn't and welcome to butt dialing all over again. The most annoying part though was that you were not going to be pulling down the menu from the top ever! There are features on the S7 that make this less necessary, but you better never need to do it because I had to give up trying.
All in all, I might have given this a 4, if the screen was thinner and if I didn't have to have body builder hands to use it. It's a good a case, and some people might enjoy it. I know I felt my phone was safe, that's for sure. Some people are even willing to give some usage up for safety. I am not one of those people.

As someone that owns a ton of cases for all of my phones I disagree about the Otterbox Symmetry case. The buttons are nothing short of awful to press and require so much force the case physically moves inward with each press. It was bad enough that I retuned the case which is not somthing I do unless there's a serious flaw with the design. The same issue also persists in the Otterbox Strada case that I own which would be a great case I'd the buttons didn't require an unreasonable amount of force to push.
