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.

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:
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s7+edge+unicorn+beetle
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.

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.

Galaxy S7 Edge Case, Spigen® [Ultra Hybrid] AIR CUSHION [Crystal Clear] Clear back panel + TPU bumper for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (2016) - 556CS20034 with the hollow bumpers in the corner works well with screenknight protector.

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.

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 thought that the thread you gave me link is only for glass screen protectors and almost nobody discuss a part of having two things - Fully covered cover + Glass scree protector.

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?

I've settled on the AMAZINGthing TGSP, and will be ordering it as soon as it comes back into stock. But does anyone know if a case like the Speck Candyshell Grip would work? Iv'e considered getting the Spigen thin fit, but ideally wanted something that offered a bit more protection - anyone got any suggestions?

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.

Close up.
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?

What screen protector to combine Spigen Rugged Armor with

I really like the Spigen Rugged Armor Case for OP3 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
But I'm worried the tempered glass i want to get won't go well with it. The Yootech one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3KGQHS00G2MDY
Should i just go for a regular screen protector since the case already has some leap in front? Like the ArmorSuit one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3LQSX85N730QN
Need to order them soon. Replies will be appreciated.

I had the non TG from yootech and it was trash. Didn't stick well left tons of adhesive on the top of screen protector after peeling the top layer off.
Still waiting for something with decent reviews, but now I don't even have the OEM protector on.

I am worried about those tempered glass protectors to be honest. Anything that causes air bubbles or rainbow effect, i will rip off quickly i'm sure

I'm probably just going to get another plastic screen protector and use that til a good TG one comes out. I really like the rugged armor case too and don't plan to use anything else except maybe the neo hybrid spigen case.

I am in the same situation here in India. Bought the spigen rugged armor case. Liked it so much that I'm still Sticking to the stock plastic scratch guard. But I believe no tempered glass would work fine with this case. Any ideas?

Yep i'm in the same boat. Currently using spigen with stock screen protector as well. I usually dont care about the front glass as I am with the back but I recently found some people had their display broke so i'm a bit nervous about that.

I would get that, but don't want to lose even 5mm of screen space. It's not a big deal, but it would annoy me.
The phone feels and looks great with the Rugged Armor case so I don't wanna buy another just so I can use Tempered Glass. I'd just keep the OEM protector on until TG compatible with this case comes out.

This is why i opted for the Neo Hybrid instead of the TPU Rugged Armor. Because i need more protection if i got only a plastic protector on.

I know this thread is pretty old but any luck in finding a Tempered Glass screen protector that plays nice with the rugged admor case? I still can't find one that seems to be compatible.

The icheckey is fine, and there are two in the pack. I got mine from Amazon.

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.

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.

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 !!

What it has going for it is the fact that it's slim and minimalistic, especially for a UAG case. It feels nice in the hand and the cutouts are precise. The dark smoke looks nice.
Where they went wrong
The buttons do not feel tactile and they do not protrude enough. In other words, they do not feel clicky like they would on the Plasma or Pathfinder series (not available for the Note 8). The glossy clear plastic also scratches really easily.
The glossy plastic scratches really easily.
In all fairness, it's technically compatible with case friendly screen protectors, but they cut it real close. The bottom corners barely have any clearance, which means that the TPU may push against the protector if you apply any amount of force. I can imagine it eventually lifting the protector by simply carrying it in your pocket.
The honeycomb pattern in the corners is basically a light imprint in the TPU, I can't see this magical honeycomb pattern making any difference in a serious drop.
Did I mention these retail for $40 a piece?
I would have been happy paying that amount if it didn't have these issues.
I've been loyal to UAG for years, but this is definitely a letdown for me.
UAG can get back on my good side when they decide to produce a good $40 case...

I personally bought this one

I bought them but it scratched easily. I complained to cs and they send me a code for any note 8 case for free so I ordered the monarch case of course. :victory: and you can keep the old case. Now I'm switching between the two I refused to use other cases except the Samsung rugged case.

Thanks for the Plyo review.
Too bad they didn't make the Pathfinder for the Note 8, but as a first time UAG user, I think the Plasma is a good $40 case.

Love the case, but can't get any screen protector to work with it.

Zagg Glass and Invisishield plastic. Broke the corner of the glass and pulls the corners up on the plastic

It's also slippery af. I was expecting it to be a lot more grippy.
