Best Combination of Case+Screen Film S7 Edge

Hello!
Currently I'm using
Spigen Slim Armor:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AUR18D0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
IQ Shield Matte
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BG2ELRI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
Its working horribly, there's bubble in all corners (See photos attached). If i'm not mistaken the spigen case is pushing hard on the corners top and bottom.
Is this happening to some of you guys?
What combination of case and screen protector are you guys using so that this doesn't happens?
Thanks in Advance

I have been using the ZAGG invisible shield hd dry combined with a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro.
I LOVE this combo.
The screen protector went on relatively easily. did that day one. no bubbles anywhere and it's super clear. it wrapped around the sides easily with the special applicator included in the box. this is NOT a typical credit card squeegee install. I had it just like that for a few days until the case showed up.
What i like about this case is the two part sandwich effect. There is a frame that clips on the front of the phone and the whole ting then inserts into the back. sort of like the ottorbox cases. only half the price. The frame completely protects the edges of the screen protector, i don't thing there really is a way to accidentally rub on the edges of the screen protector and work it loose.
And bonus, it works in my QI wireless charger with no problems whatsoever.

I've got the IQ shield non matte and a Ringke Fusion Crystal case. It's shock simple and has dust covers.

Does the zagg protector should help in case of drops? And is it as good as a tempered glass in that case?

I don't know about best combo (because this is my first combo) but I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid crystal clear and the Skinomi TechSkin on my gold platinum S7 Edge and so far so good. I just installed the Skinomi last night since I got it yesterday. My Spigen case I've had on the phone since March 5th when the case arrived. I ordered both products from Amazon.

The Skinomi I had did the same as the op, as for the Zagg HD amazon refunded my order yesterday saying something was wrong the product and they were canceling it.

I got a similar case for my S7E ... Spigen Tough armor with the Armour Suit Military Shield... still awaiting my phones frm T-mobile

Zagg HD Dry front and back with Otterbox Symmetry Clear Series
My UAG case pushed the top right corner had to trim just a little. This case seems to be more screen protector friendly. Both cases are pretty much identical is size. The otterbox is much stiffer and back seems more scratch resistant, the UAG is already scratched. UAG offers a little more screen protection in the corners and the buttons are much easier to press. Pics are taken on top of the UAG case for size comparison.

Any problems with the Otterbox peeling up the sides of the protector?

Nope, everything is laying down with no signs of peeling. The zagg did stay on the phone for 3 days with no case while I was waiting for Amazon to deliver and I did blow dry the edges. I don't think this made a difference, otterbox just seems like it sits on top protector better. The case seems to lack screen protection though, the raised edge on top and bottom of screen is only about 1/16 thick. I've never broke a phone but this might be a deal breakerbreaker for some.

I don't have a way of taking taking a pic right now, but I have the Spigen Tough Armor on my GS7E with a Skinomi MatteSkin screen protector.
The Skin has may be 1-2 mm taller than optimal, I have just the slightest push from the case on the top of the skin, but that could also be my fault for not as well aligning the skin as possible. Tough call. I'll probably be putting a new skin on this week anyway just because I'm OCD about it.
addendum 2016/3/23: replaced the MatteSkin last night and put the Tough Armor back on this morning. Alignment seems good. One 'speck' maybe under the skin near the top under the Samsung logo, you'll see some squiggles there where I was working against it this morning to see if it was a bubble that could be pushed out. {shrug}
Fit between the two seems *tight* but *may* be good or great.
After putting the Tough Armor back on I got some push against the bottom left edge of the MatteSkin but a few passes with a spudger seems to have smoothed it back out. See if it stays.
The inner edge of the Tough Armor on the front top/bottom seems tight and sharp-edged where it meets the phone. If this was backed off 0.5mm-ish there would definitely be no issue.
I know some don't like how much the Tough Armor stiffens up the buttons on the sides, but that works in my favor as it cuts down on unintended activation when the phone is in a backpack or pocket, and the shape of the Armor edge makes for a nice flat stance when using the kickstand or otherwise leaning on the side.
Final word: 97% perfect fit. The case ended up pushing the bottom of the screen protector a bit, the inner most lip edges on the Tough Armor was about 1 mm too far to play nice with the MatteSkin. Trimming the edge of the case with a sharp knife though does resolve it, if you can do that with a truly even hand it probably would be a great combo, my hand isn't that perfect so I had a bit of an irregular edge. Worked well though, otherwise.

I'm currently using the IQ Shield HD Wet screen protector:

With the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Rugged Full Body Case:

I just received the Tech21 Frame case in the mail so will be seeing if that works well with the screen protector. Unfortunately I have heard it doesn't but here's to hoping.
Update: Tech21 Frame case will indeed push up on the edges of the screen protector.

The best screen protector I have used to date is from bestskinsever and their customer service is top notch. It isn't noticble at all and the cutouts are scary accurate.
I have ordered some from xtremeguard and the cutouts are too big and I ended up tossing them. The other brand I tried was some from illumni and they scratch up real easy, the fit was better than extremeguard but not by that much and their customer service sucked.

I just ordered the case friendly and edge to edge to see which one I like better. I agree, their screen protectors are top notch.

Zagg HD Dry + Speck Candyshell Clear
Only been on 24 hrs but it looks like a win so far. Both are seriously good quality products, but then they better be for the price.

Obliq Naked Shield Black + ArmorSuit MilitaryShield FullScreen Extreme Clarity HD
Case : Obliq Naked Shield
Screen : ArmorSuit MilitaryShield
While I like the look of the Skinomi MatteSkin on the screen I wanted to try something else, for comparison. So I got the ArmorSuit and put it on, along with the Obliq case - changing over from a more stealth to more bling kind of look, truly.
Both the case and shield are a very nice fit for the device. Not as large nor thick as the Tough Armor I had been using, time will tell whether that's good or bad.
The ArmorSuit screen protector, once on and de-bubbled basically disappears. It's only the 1st day of use but it's very much NOT there, visually.
The Obliq case is also very lean, and the back is very clear, letting the look of the silver phone I have glare out at you.
Combined they seem to work seamlessly together. I was concerned in particular because the ArmorSuit is a full coverage, and not their case-friendly version, however in this case they seem to be working well together. I truly must have gotten lucky with the screen protector install because I literally can't see the edges of it vs the edges of the Obliq case. Nice.
The Obliq is NOT as much protection as the Tough Armor, to be sure, but it is prettier and alters the ergonomics and looks of the phone dramatically less.
The Obliq DOES appear to be a "fingerprint magnet" though ... time will tell.
The ArmorSuit does NOT appear to be a fingerprint magnet, which is nice. It is very glossy/reflective though, as a couple of the pics I've attached show.

I initially had this Roya kickstand case.. plus this tempered glass protector
I've decided to give the iq shield (not the matte one) a try per some recommendations on here.. hoping sensitivity is at least "close" to having no protector (like with regular phones + tempered).. i've had iq shield in the past and its been solid though i seem to recall sensitivity taking a hit.
I'm going with the Beetle Pro Full case (not hybrid one).. i guess its harder to get off if you use gear vr.. but i saw a rumor if you cut the bumpers off near the usb on gear vr a case may fit, unsure.
I saw the Spigen with kickstand.. it looks similar to the Beetle Pro.. can anyone comment on how slippery it is, or if its got a good grip like the Beetle Pro (full) and protects the edges too (easier to get off maybe)? Spigen appears to not have edge protection, so similar to Beetle Hybrid ($11.99 vs Spigen at $17.99).. I would think the Beetle Pro Hybrid would make more sense price wise.
I guess if you get the $99 2 year accidental damage samsung warranty then the hybrid is a no brainer.

Zagg HD friendly case

After searching for a good screen protector I've settled on the zagg HD. I have the spigen slim fit case being delivered tomorrow but are there any other cases that will work with it that offer full cover protection( slim fit leaves the buttons exposed)? Appreciate any help. Thanks

The thin fit one like ringke slim, spigen thin fit and the official Samsung clear case are the only ones I was able to use with the zagg hd. Yes the buttons are exposed on the spigen thin fit.

Seidio Surface, VRS Layered Dandy, VRS Damda Clip, and the Caseology Series (Provided you aligned the protector very well, e.g. it's not on one side more than the other).

For some weird reason I went into an Amazon trance and bought more than 10 cases for the S7 Edge, and I also have a Zagg HD Dry on my phone.
Echo the notion that the Caseology Envoy case won't lift a properly applied HD Dry. Also the Obliq Flex Pro caused me no issue. Of the two, I'd give the slight protection edge (heh) to the Obliq. The Case-Mate Naked Tough also did not intrude on the screen-protector, but I rate that case at minimal protection and more for style.
The following cases did mess with the corners of my Zagg, which I have subsequently mitigated by carefully trimming the film away from the very ends of the top two corners.
Speck Candy Shell Grip
Spigen Crystal Shell
Spigen Tough Armor
(All awesome cases, BTW)
A couple more extreme-protection cases were split with respect to this; the i-Blason Prime Dual Layer Holster case will interfere with it, and the (Supcase branded) big-brother the Unicorn Beetle Pro - with it's front bezel design - is the best here, appearing not to cause even a full-coverage (not trimmed) Zagg to peel on the phone, as I tested it with my wife's fully intact Zagg HD Dry.
Just my anecdotal observations on the topic.

Think I'm going to order this obliq. So you didn't have to do any trimming to get it to play nice with the zag hd at all?

ringke slim. spigen liquid crystal pulls it up, so i ordered a ringke slim.

Received the thin fit and its pretty good. Going to wait on @afh3 and possibly order the obliq for when I need more protection all around

I put the Obliq Flex Pro on my wife's S7 edge this morning. I'll know what, if anything, it did to the film later this evening.

Right. Somebody, quick, tell my wife that.
Anyway, our path's crossed sooner than I thought today, due to a school-function schedule change, and I have her shiny gold S7 Edge in my hand right now. After about 10 hours with the Obliq case on it there is no lift on any of the four corners of the Zagg HD Dry on the screen.
You want pics, or are you good?

Ringke fusion s7 edge case
I have the ringke fusion and the edge of the case doesn't even make to the edge of the screen and the has really good flaps that cover/insert into the power and headphone jacks. Its perfect for a screen protector and it comes with a slim screen protector for the back so the is none of the wierd bubble effect that some clear cases make.

Got the obliq flex pro today and it works great with the zagg HD. I'm happy for now as the phone is now fully covered.

Help - Need a case that covers up edges

Hi all,
I originally decided on the S7 Edge solely because of the battery life. I hated the curved edges but thought I'd get used to them. Well.... the return period has long since expired and I still hate the edges. Is there any case out there that covers up the edges and adequately protects the phone? Like ideally it would have lips come up over the edges, almost like they weren't there. Additionally, is there any software out there that can turn the edge pixels completely off? I'm not opposed to rooting and such if necessary.
Basically, I'd like to turn the phone into a nice normal flat phone.
Thanks!

If you want a flat phone just trade it in for a regular S7. Otherwise, 3d print or mold yourself a custom case.

As stated, you should trade out for an S7. No company would still be in business of making phone cases if they covered up the edge on a phone specifically made to have one.

try the supcase unicorn pro... that helps to minimize accidental edge touches of that's a concern.

Having bought and spend so much money on cases, I have now settled for Piel Frama's iMagnum case for the S7 edge. I think I might do a little review of this case on here with some photos in few days.
This covers edges of S7E, has a magnetic closure and superb full grain leather. Absolutely amazing case.. Downside, it's one of most expensive case in market, but well worth the money.
P.S. I am not affiliated with the company.

This is the case you need for your problem. This is the one Cmart4 mentioned. It doesn't cover the edges but it is raised at an angle by the edges making it easy to hold like a non curved phone. If you're keeping the phone this is the best case for you. It's also really good with screen protectors since it clips on from the front and it has great drop protection. I've dropped mine over 20 times in that case with zero damage.

Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro

I've had my Ringke Fusion case for a while now and I wanted to try out new case like the Supcase with the buit-in Screen Protector. However, I have already installed a tempered glass screen protector on my phone. My question is, could I still use the case without using the built-in screen protector? I know there is another type of supcase case that doesn't have a built in screen protector but I just don't feel the clear back anymore. Hope someone would give me some info about my concern. Would highly appreciate if you give your thoughts about the case as well. Thanks!

I have this case. The built in screen protector looks easy enough to remove cleanly. I'd imagine the phone would fit, possibly snug, inside the case.

Do you have tempered glass installed on your N5X?

Hey, I don't have a 5x, but I have a 6p with this same brand of case, and I have it installed over my intelliglass tempered screen protector. I just took a razor blaze and removed the plastic screen protector from the case. As long as you don't rush it, it removes just fine without leaving any of the plastic screen behind. Fits great over the tempered glass too. I'm going to be buying a 5x for my mom soon cause she needs a new phone to replace her cheap $50 crappy straight talk phone, and I'm gonna be buying a tempered glass screen protector and i-Blason case for it (very similar to the unicorn beetle pro) and I'll be doing the same thing with that one.

Thoughts about this put together bundle I'm readying for my upcoming Note 8?

Hello all,
I'm about to list some items I'm thinking about ordering in prep to maximize the best duration of my preordered Note 8 for the next 2 years. I preordered my phone through Best Buy with Verizon in the Orchid Gray color. If you have better suggestions, post it to let me know!
Case: Spigen CS Slime Armor Wallet case in BLACK: https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Galax...514&sr=8-5&keywords=note+8+cs+slim+armor&th=1
Slickwrap skin in BRUSHED STEEL: https://www.slickwraps.com/metal-series-skins-wraps-for-samsung-galaxy-note-8.html
Screen protector (if possible that could work with the skin wrap?): https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Prote...g=androidcentralb-20&ascsubtag=UUacUdUnU62642
I am a bit concerned how I might pit the screen protector with the front part of the wrap, but really I think I just wanted the wrap completely in the backside of the phone to protect the glass. I am ordering through Slickwrap since it seems like there is a great promotion of 42% discount with a special promo code provided by them.
I'm open to suggestion so if anyone could recommend me something different or gives me their experiences, I will be happy with that! Thanks!

I'd say to get the skinomi full body wrap ( $15 ish ). The case is dependent on what you like but I'm in love with the Zizo Bolt case. Used it on my last 2 Samsung's and I drop my phones on concrete a ton. When I turned in my s7 edge, the tmobile rep didn't believe I had It for a year until he saw my account. Still looked like new !
The full body skin adds another level of cushion for drops and also keeps dirt from scratching the phone between the case. Dirt ALWAYS finds its way in so it's a fool proof way of keeping it from hurting the phone body itself.

And ive run this case on all my Samsungs. I love the kick stand built in and the lanyard for when I'm out on the boat snapping photos. It's also protected against literal hundreds of drops. It's protective capabilities are equal to an otterbox defender.

I'm not using the skinomi screen protector that came with the kit currently though. The zizo bolt comes with a glass one and it feels / works awesomely. No sensitivity loss and no weird rainbows. Ill keep it on until it breaks, then slap the skinomi on while waiting on a new one. Word of advice....
Use the body skin, then heat it with a hair dryer. Then wait a day before installing the phone case.
Then install the glass protector using the case as a guide. Works every time
