Best combination of thin soft case & full screen protector? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories

Hi
After reading many threads here I got really confused and can't deside which case & screen protector to buy.
I think I want a thin one because I like that the device is thin, I understand that thin case offer less protection but still I find it more comfortable.
Also I like the design of the device so I looking for a clear transparent case.
I thought about curved tempered glass but as I understood in the forum, they are not great with steeking to the edge and can be felt near the home button.
So I looking for the best combination of a full screen protector (including edges ) with thin soft clear case.
Please replay with a personal experience.
Thanks!!!

The calicase is the thinnest available for the s7e it literally feels like no case, offers excellent t scratch protection. But that's about it lol I love mines u can find it on amazon

I'm having success with the following setup:
GPEL TGSP + Nilkin thin case or Ingram Match2 clear case or Tauri clear case or Samsung leather case.
No lifting of the TGSP.

1. how does the home button feels with the "GPEL TGSP"? do you use fingerprint?
2. which of these cases is your favorite?

Due to an extra layer of TGSP, the home button feels a little bit recessed in. That, however, doesn't bother or irk me. And unlike the first TGSP I tried from eBay (Glass Pro branding), there is no cracking sound of the TGSP when I press the home button.
Yes, I use the fingerprint sensor, mainly for Samsung Pay.
My favorite case is the Samsung leather case.

Is anyone actually able to put on a case like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid without raising the corners of their screen protector?

M8 Clear Cases to Showcase

Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.
The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.
So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".
Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....
My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.
I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.
I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.
I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

Yes it is.
Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.
Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.
I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides. This is a very nice case with covered buttons for volume and power. And exact cut outs for everything including back mic, flash and camera lenses. Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing. I also have a qi receiver under my case in order to have wireless charging so now I have a black tpu case coming today to hide the qi receiver.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.
All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.
Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
Pried it out, unbent it a bit and got it back in, works.
Bummed the case let that happen though. And agree about the sharp edge.

Unfortunately, my clear spigen case has a slight yellowing to it. This was present in purchase, so beware. Otherwise, it is a very good protector that allows the m8's looks to shine.

Rear glass protector

Hey guys, has anyone found a plastic or glass protector for the back of the Note 5? I've had no luck at all! I've got a clear case coming in the mail to cover the phone and I already have a plastic protector that covers the front, but I'd rather not use a case at all.
I plan on using a clear plastic/glass protector on the front and back of the phone and then get the Rhino Shield Crash Guard bumper for the edges. As far as I know the Rhino Shield isn't out yet. Would be awesome to find a clear thin plastic bumper case too!

I am with you on this one, I found just one protector for the back: "Xtremeguard" but the review for it are terrible,
other than that I found nothing, not even a cheap one from ebay, that's the only reason I am second guessing buying
the Rhino Shield.

Suppose to cut out the "rainbow" effect u get from some of the clear back cases. Its definately a case to check out if u are one of us guys who like to have a couple different cases. Its prob my favorite one out of the 3 i have. It was definately my favorite s6 case

Cover cases and glass screen protectors...

Hi, couldn't find anything about Samsung galaxy s7 edge cover cases compatibility with glass screen protectors.
Is very strange that people don't wont to protect their phone (that already in the case) with tempered glass screen protectors...
I know that good quality cover case (both sides) will give good enough protection but.. is very normal that phone needs cleaning sometimes and not always you will have in your pocket a peace of cloth for cleaning phone screens. I may clean against may trousers or jacket, etc. For that I'll need glass protection.
Any idea? which cases will support glass protectors and I'm talk now about cases that are fully coves your phone including original Samsung cases.
This thread is a discussion about glass screen protectors and if they work with cases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/accessories/curved-tempered-glass-screen-protector-t3320688
Most do not work well with cases due to them being pushed up at the corners so everyone is waiting to see if better ones come out.

I was simply pointing you to the main thread about the glass screen protectors. The main thing to take away from that is the fact that there are no good glass screen protectors yet based on the numerous reviews. Those issues won't change with a fully covered cover.
So far the best choice for a case compatible with glass screen protector seems to be Spigen Thin Fit and Ringke Air.
Anyone knows if Ringke Fusion Crystal View and Samsung Clear Cover are glass screen protector friendly?

Don't think it will be compatible. It's hard to tell. Also retract my comment above about the Ringke being ok. Looking again at my cases it depends heavily on top and bottom.
If you can tell from the photos, it's the cases which sort of "hug" the edges by a mm or two as opposed to those overlap by a few more mm on to front glass.

That's what you have to consider when choosing a case if you want compatibility with protectors.

Someone had a review on his gpell and it fit the commuter just wondering if the amazingthing will achieve the same
Poetic Revolution and Supcase Unicorn beetle pro cases should fit. as the top layer of cases go over the top of the screen protector not lifing it up. 2 part cases on amazon both under 20 bucks.
Does anybody have tried Casemate Tough Case with glass screen protector?

OtterBox Defender issue

Running the built in screen protector isn't possible. Too many issues with touch sensitivity. I did pop out the built in screen protector and applied my own. The problem is this causes a miss alignment with the power and volume buttons. So I'm assuming the thick but in protector helps line the phone up with the buttons. Is there something I can use, thin strip of foam, to help "push" into the case? Very frustrating, I really like this case over the commuter.

I did find a way, kind of. I hastily did this. I took some thin foam and lined the case where the screen protector was attached. That actually help line up the buttons pretty good. I have to go through and do a better job. I have the Beetle case, juts like the full rubber outside for grip.
What glass screen protector did you go with? I used to own an S7 about a year ago and ditched the glass screen protectors because they were terrible.

Surprisingly responsive of the edges and now looking at it, there is a little color distortion from the glass on o e of the corners ( most likely due to me having a good S7 Edge.) Other than that, no issues.

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.

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
