Rearth Ringke Fusion Review, Better than Spigen Ultra Hybrid

Hey everyone, this is my video review on the Rearth Ringke Fusion for the S6 Edge. This case is really similar to the Spigen ultra hybrid, and having tested both, I would highly recommend everyone to buy the Ringke Fusion over the Ultra Hybrid. The reason is I complained in my review for the Ultra Hybrid that the fit on the case was horrible. The fit on the Ringke Fusion is a whole lot better compared the ultra hybrid and you also get integrated port covers which I think is seriously awesome. Btw, it's also cheaper, so that's good too.

I just got this one too and IT IS way better than the Spigen version. Feels thinner and the button feel for the sides is more defined and crisp. fits the phone very well and a great added bonus of the port covers keeping that pesky dust and lint away from them.

Using headphones alot.. I hate the dust cover for it. Tempted to just cut it off. Also don't like the sharp/raised corners on the back but the case fits much better than the Spigen one.

Love this case. Bought the Smoke Black, which offsets my phone's Gold Platinum perfectly.
I bought two other cases at the same time and haven't bothered to open them.

I'm very pleased with my Ringke Fusion as well, fits nicely, offers some protection without adding too much bulk and does not attract too much attention to itself
And wireless charging work flawlessly with the case on (using an older Nokia wireless charger)

I can concur that the fit on the Ultra Hybrid is pretty much straight up bad. If you don't mind the lack of customization, this one is probably better.

I have this case and I feel like port covers are the most brilliant thing to come to TPU cases. I wish that there was a matte black version (Similar to the Diztronic cases) that have port covers. I really think that was a smart way to separate their product from the rest. Super awesome case.

Best slim flip case

I searched a lot and did not found a good flip case.
I want it to be slim with magnet but with out the tailed button.
Any recommendations
Thanks

My choice is always Piel Frama case, expensive, but the best. I use their SlimFrama case for my S7 Edge.

Other I've used in past is PDair.. Now I haven't actually looked into their offering for the S7 Edge. There are so many imitation leather cases in the market, which after a while go frail. PDair are good quality leather.

Thanks a lot!!

You can try genuine leather flip case, some of them not bad.

I have this one Rock Dr. V Slim Case

The case looks good, but I don't like plastics, also price not good.

This is the slimmest flip case I have. It adds almost no size to the phone. Protection is decent but flap has no magnetic (or otherwise) closure so it could fall screen exposed. It may still be OK as the corner edges stand somewhat proud but I wouldn't recommend this case if ruggedness is priority . Looks stunning and has a soft interior for phone surface protection.

quality and overall protection whilst still keeping a slim profile (not as minimal as the above but certainly not bulky). A case worthy for a flag ship.
Both show the beautiful shape of the phone off and let's face it, that is why most of us bought it rather than hiding it away in ugly, bulky cases.
Hope this helps.

Are you going to use a Case (poll)

The phone is beautiful, but all that glass...

I always keep cases and screen protectors on my phones. I am too paranoid not to.

Most likely not. I want to keep the phone as thin and compact as possible, not have sharp edges when holding it (usually on the sides or the charging/speaker cutouts), it really ruins the look and feel of the phone, and after some use the cases and screen protectors get all scratched up since it's plastic.

I'm using an otterbox on mine simply because I'm forever dropping my phone at work and don't want to damage the phone.

Yes, glass screen protector, DBrand dragon skin and clear tpu case

already have my case and screen protectors. I have a deep sea blue spigen tough armor case, a clear spigen case and when the prices drop a little I will get an otter box commuter. still waiting on Samsung to ship my note 8......ridiculous IMO

Had to rush to get a case, didn't expect to get the phone early. Spigen thin case here and that's it for protection.

Accidents happen so a case it will be

yes but no.
I use the Rhinoshield crash guard. Its a bumper so the front and rear are open. But they test there crash guard @ 11 ft drops.
I have one on my s8 plus and its great. And see tons of drop videos from high drop and the phone works.
So im going to stick with that.
I do like the feel of a casless phone and that is the closest i can get to it. Rather have something and not need it then need it and not have it.

I see some of you guys have a screen saver!!!
When did any brand manage to make a screen saver that worked on any Galaxy edge device? I have owned the lot and tried dozens of panzer glass, plastic, part fitting, glued and goodness knows what and have never found a satisfactory screen saver for a device with that bloomin curved edge.
To that end I always use a case then keep it in a shocksock or a wallet type case that is most annoying to use but offers all around protection. I have even paid nearly 60.00€ for the official Samsung LED cover on several of my mobiles because I can't find a screen saver. Helppppp.
Please tell me what screen saver you have found. I would be very much obliged. Thanks.

I'm using a Spigen Neo Hybrid case, and a Spigen Neo Flex screen protector. I like the Neo Hybrid cases because they don't add much bulk and have been great for protection, even minor drops on my previous phones.

Check This One Out
Since my S8+ been using cases. Just ordered this one on Ebay.

I got 2 (probably only will keep one):
Ringke Onyx ($4)
Caseology Vault ($5)
Both TPU, which is my preference. I love the corner coverage for little bumps and falls. I have never had issues with breaking phones so it's just a little peace of mind for me.

I always get the Samsung clear case, they're nice and thin and fit will, providing some protection.

@ Ryland Johnson, try this. I have one on my s8+ and its great.

I will put a full body wet install protector film, then I will use a thin, very thin case, and on certain ocasions, an urban armor ash color, magma series case

Yes

Best Thin Cases

Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.

I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

I've used this on my s7e & Axon 7 and loved it. Bought it for my note 8. Should receive today. It is a thin case. I've dropped my s7e many times on concrete and it survived.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.

I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and it is pretty good.
However the Samsung Clear Cover Case is far superior and you don't even notice it is there

Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.

I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Otterbox symmetry. The best and slim.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.

I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.

I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!

I have that one does your finger print scaner work with that case? I had to cut mine out a little.

Best *SLIM* cover?

What would you say is a good SLIM cover that will keep the footprint to minimum but will also provide solid protection?
There are so many on ebay and I can't decide.

I really liked the bumper cases by Luphie or other variants on my note 7. Its slim, protects the edges, and leaves the back bare showing gloss black or dbrand skins. I'd do the same set up if I havent invested in spigen screen protector/case combo.

I'am rocking the Spigen Liquid Armor atm. Over feel is rly good, looks are very good to, simple black texture, will fit everyone.
But kinda not liking that edges are covered too much for my taste (maybe this way they are more protected) ofc screen is not covered in any way, precision is rly good. I was used to UAG cases, they had a very minimal edge protection imo but you still kept that edge screen feeling with Liquid Armor it's gone at least for me. That's why I might get UAG Plasma some day.
