This case deserves some attention

I see a lot of people talking about the Spigen cases for the Edge, and while they are nice, I actually liked the OBLIQ [Slim Meta] Ultra Slim Fit [All Around Protection] after trying 4 different cases. You can read my review on Amazon. I didn't get it free or discounted and am not associated with the company in any way. I just like the case.

Quick question. How does the heart rate sensor work with this case? Is it still easy to activate and record the heart rate? Or do you have to put your finger in at an odd angle? I would be using this feature a lot during runs and workouts so this is important to me. It looks like the Spigen case has a different cutout for the rear.
Do you have any recommendations on an actual screen protector? I'm not looking for a tempered glass one as I'd rather just have an anti-glare one that protects it from scratches rather then a fall (since I have the case for that)

Can you elaborate as to why you didnt like Spigen [AIR CUSHION] Bumper [Ultra Hybrid] ?
They seem to be out of stock of your suggested case until april 9th.

My guess for the Spigen is that it's not very good at protecting the device.

I'm waiting to get my edge on Wednesday to put this bad boy on it!

Hope the OP is correct.
Returning a spigen case...the protection and feel was poor.
I am currently using a verus case. Protection and feel are great...but for some reason it doesn't work well with wireless charging.
Just ordered this one. If it doesn't work, Ill try Urban Armor gear I guess.

I have both the Obliq and Spigen Thin fit cases and I agree with the OP. The Spigen case doesn't grip the sides of the phone so the only points holding it in place are at the top and bottom. Because of this, it feels like there's a little bit of flex in the midpoint that pulls the case away from the phone.
The Obliq, on the other hand, rises up higher along the sides and feels better in the hand.

FYI, I ordered my Obliq on Amazon with the out of stock message you saw. It shipped out the very next day, which was weird.

I ordered this case last week in White with the brushed looking back and I cant wait until Friday to try in on my new White Edge! Will post a few pictures with it on when I get the phone Friday

Haven't tried the case OP vouched but totally agree with him on the Spigen case. TBH, I'm still searching for the perfect case for the S6 edge. I'm gonna try what OP suggested and will follow through and give update as soon as I have it

This is my everyday case for now! I also bought 2 of the Verus card slot cases but will only use those when I'm on a trip or going out of town. This case looks and feels great. It maintains the thinness and doesn't add any bulk.

I tried a few cases as well but like the Ringke SLIM case the best. The gold one is well polished and feels premium.

hey mate thanks heaps for this post and the review, this is just the case i was looking for. i spent ages trying to find something decent. this is great also because they ship to australia from amazon. i was almost going to spend $70 on a bloody Samsung case at the Telstra store!

Pictures: Ringke Slim case and Plason tempered glass with proximity sensor cutout

disclaimer: I wanted a very thin case. I don't like huge cases. I understand that there is limited drop protection. I am only interested in having a minimal lip so that the camera or screen do not scratch when I set the device down.
I started with the spigen case and screen protector. Screen protector covered the proximity sensor making the screen turn black during calls regardless of proximity. The case fit well but felt cheap. Design was too bulky despite being marketed as a slim case. Not necessarily becuase it was not thin, but all the corners were too squared off.
So here is the new setup. The case feels good, I wish there was a matted and smoked version, but this will do. The plastic does feel a bit slick. It definitely feels more secure in my hands naked as compared to the case.
The screen protector works perfectly. It has an oleophobic coating that works pretty well too. There is a proximity cutout so the screen does not cut off during calls. The fit is great, goes out all the way to the edges, and the cutouts are very precise. The screen protector comes in a hard cardboard box for shipping, included is a wet/dry wipe and a dust absorber film that worked well.

Looks good! If you have the RIngke Fusion can you take a pic of that?

unfortunately I dont have the Ringke Fusion. I would be curious how long it will take for the clear TPU portion of that case to start turning yellow tho

Did you end up with bubbles or nah

one on the top right that i may have to go back and fix if it doesnt go away. bubbles is very much an installation issue though

I can't see the pictures. There's only a grey minus logo.
I also bought Ringke Slim.
This case has a frosted version but I can only find it from Rearth's Korean website.

It looks slimmer but I can't speak Korean and I cannot buy it.

I got the exact same case. It came today and I set up my 5x. I don't mind the feel of the case too much. Sides feel more trippy than Nakey. My big complaint is that it creaks to all [email protected]*k. It fits well and like you I like the lip over screen but have you tried popping it off?. Will do till another one comes along.

I was able to work it out.

Thank yoou very much. I think I made a good choice. Except the Ringke logo but nothing to do about it

Just got the Ringke slim in black today and I love it so far. I ordered the Ringke glass screen protector but it won't ship until next week.
I got the clear/frost adopted case but it's a little too bulky for what I want.
Is the clear Ringke slippery at all? Read somewhere that was a complaint about the clear one. Black one has nice grip and feel to it.

yeah it is pretty slippery

Any Spigen Ultra Hybrid owners? Fitment issues .

Ordered the clear and rose gold colors for my wife and I. Her rose gold fitment is off on the sides as in it fits loose and not snug. My clear initially fit good on the sides but is becoming more and more loose. Also both cases have a small hole defect on bottom right side. Will be contacting Spigen shortly. Any others with these issues?

I also ordered the neo hybrid cases (non-clear) and they seem solid. I just love a clear case tho to show off the gorgeous device. ?

Got the clear one and it fits nice and tight. Is stopped me feeling like the device will slip out my hand any moment and had even speed me performing "micro presses"on the screen with the side of my hand!

Just got the neo hybrid silver and put it on. For some reason it feels much more beastly compared to the ultra hybrid and I am not feeling it that much. Maybe because of the black edges covering the sides VS the see thru edges of the ultra hybrid hmmm. I like the ultra minus the minor issues but one thing is the ultra doesnt seem to have that much drop protection. I just ordered the neo hybrid Crystal case that may be the winner here.

Yes, however I was able to resolve the issues with a little bit of work. I saw someone point this out and I massaged the edges particularly around the buttons a bit more.
Here's earlier in the day:

And here's tonight after a little bit of work. Overall the case fits snugly and feels sturdy in my hand.
I personally love this series from Spigen. The PC bumper could fit tighter but it's nowhere near enough for me to take it off.

In case anyone didn't realise the difference, Spigen do two ranges of Neo Hybrid. Standard range which has coloured rear/under layer and choice of coloured bumper. The second range titled "Crystal" has a transparent rear/under layer and choice of coloured bumper.
I bought the latter in Gunmetal purely because I prefer transparent cases that show off the phone below.

Have clear hybrid ultra. Pushes the screen protector off. Anyone know of a good protector that won't push off.

I've had my Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear on my S7 Edge since March 5th and the case fits perfectly. I removed the case yesterday for the first time to install my Skinomi screen protector. I put my Spigen case back on this morning and it fits the same way as when I first got it. I bought my case from Amazon.

I'm hoping a screenknight will work with it.

Are the PC frames interchangable betweem the hybrid/hybrid cystal cases?

I bought the cheap Verizon 3 pack screen protectors and so far the edges have not peeled up yet with multiple removal of all these cases per day.

Mines just bleh. The case looks nice aside from the buttons being way too stiff for comfort. I've only used it a handful of times, so I can't vouch for its durability.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs

Got the neo hybrid crystal and unfortunately fitment was very bad. The side buttons are pretty flush and the sides of the PC bumper are loose and raised. Bummer because the crystal hybrid looks awesome.

Looked up the spigen warrenty they offer free replacement but I need to ship items back. Probably $6 or so to ship it back I paid 15 so wonder if it is even worth the hassle to be honest. For those who have defective Spigen cases, are you going through the trouble of returning for warranty exchange?

I too have the Ultra Hybrid clear and it fits just right, it's tight and it doesn't seem to have gotten loose in the first couple days of use. Buttons work alright, makes the phone look pretty good imo. I have a similar Spigen case on my Nexus 5 (got it from day 1 both phone and case) and to this day I still have it and functional, I hope this Spigen case can live up to the rep and trust my last Spigen case gave me.

i bought the clear ultra hybrid also, I find that because of the solid back the edges aren't rounded and even have a sharp edge. This takes away all the comfort built into the phone. Can't wait to trash it and get something that keeps the phone as comfortable to hold as the phone was designed to be. Also the buttons on the cover have sharp edges. Overall fit seems to be fine.

So I went Amazon shopping and wanted to give some feedback on what I found to be good, bad and indifferent.

The Samsung silver case is from my pre order credit and came from Samsung.com.
My initial response, you kinda get what you pay for.
My favorite among all them is the UAG case and that is what I am using as my daily case.
I chose this because it was smaller than any of the other cases which gave what I consider 'great' protection both on the sides and front and back.
The Ringke comes in second as the best value.
The Poetic is just too large, you will see in the photos it is the largest of them all, but it is the only one that comes with a screen protector which was kinda nice.
The Armadillotek is a great option, but since the phone is already so large in my hand - the UAG was a tad smaller and felt more comfortable.
The Samsung case lacks the raised edges I would like to see in drop protection on the front.
The Anemat also lacked raised edges for safety.
Lined them up on edge to show heigh of all units, the Poetic and Armidillo are the tallest.
Side grips are nice, the phone is large and anything to keep in settled in my hand was a bonus.
I guess for a 1300 phone I had to bite the bullet and get a 50 dollar case, vs the 10 and 20 dollar options.
I did like the ArmidilloTek for the few days I used it, but the UAG just ended up being more comfortable for me personally.
Not sure this will help anyone, but it does, I hope I saved you having to return stuff back to Amazon
I plan to put on the gel UV glass screen protector sometime next week, I just left the stock protector on for the time being.
Love the phone though and the promo with TMO really made it a no brainer.

I also settled for the UAG Monarch, it's a premium but it's better than the imitators.

I choose ArmadilloTek because of the front cover.
I like the paint on Monarch tho

Nice, thanks for this review.

the orange case looks neat

I'm currently switching between UAG Monarch (same color as OP) and Samsung's Black Leather Cover, and I'm glad about my choices. Sometimes if I want that my S21U should feel more bulky I go with UAG, other time if I want to have more elegant and slick cover I'm using the leather one.

too pricy here in TX

I just ordered a UAG Monarch tonight as I've just gotten my phone today. Verizon wants $70,so I got it directly from UAG for under $35. Tried it and it feels really good in the hand. Bought the S21U with a techarmor case and there is barely any protection for rear camera. Pelican also feels really good in the hand but also no real camera protection

Accessories Ringke Onyx for pixel 7 with "dual easy film" screen protector

I bought this case and screen protector from their official site. if anybody is going to get it, pay attention to the screen protector installation instructions. the screen protector, if applied correctly, is hardly noticeable. its smooth for the touch but if you scratch it with four fingers it creates a gouge that disappear after a while (depends on how deep the scratch is). i don't like it as much as i like glass protectors, but its better than nothing since i got the impression that the glass protectors are not playing nice with the fingerprint sensor. other than that it is a solid case as far as i can tell. i had a cheap clear TPU case until i recieved this case. the TPU case is so tough and big that the device felt like those anti tank rugged phones. the ringke is much more elegant and refined on the edges, i like it and recommend it. i had ringke on my nexus 4 and it was and still holding on without disintegrating in the test of time.

This is the case I ordered and I'm looking forward to getting it tomorrow, didn't get it with a screen protector tho. Hopefully it's a good case either way

ringke make awesome case, I been using them for years...I love their loop hole design for lanyard...cant beat it for 14 bucks

I ran that screen protector for like 2 days and it started to peel, fp reader didn't work with it either

Absolutely loving the case! So much grip! It also looks premium so that's nice too

i think if you are using it without case or with case that has almost no lips, then you might peel the protector from the swiping actions. Mine is still pristine for almost 2 weeks, with a ringke case obviously

Case looks ok, however I like better if there is all around extra lifting for protecting the screen. I am using Spigen Liquid Air, nothing special it protects. Using on P6 as well and already smashed the phone on concrete several times when felt out from pocket during riding motorbikes). Unfortunately, Speck does not make Presidio Grip case for Pixel 7 that would be my no 1 choice.
Screen protection: Reminds me for L&K protectors, but biggest downside that will pill up from sides (depends on case) over time. There are similar non glass protectors using GEL to stick properly to screen, those will not pill up easily. Got on P6 like that, and still holds after a year usage.

Possibly the best case for this device, bought off your recommendation and loving it. Why other cases not covering the camera visor the same exact way?....

Just ordered the case based on the reviews here and in the webpage. I also ordered the camera tempered glass protector. Currently, I have the Spigen rugged armor case and Spigen glass screen protector
