I received the Fusion Bumper Case today and I gotta say after a days use I am delighted with it, I've got it on with the 2.5D Screen Protector and it works no problem. I actually like this more than the Grip-Pro I got the other day, purely because it allows me to show off my phone whilst keeping it protected! Here are some pictures:

I also want to order this case but is it really thick if you compare it to simple TPU clear case i.e. Ozrly FlexiCase?

It's definitely thicker,, but not by a huge margin. I actually prefer the feel of the Fusion to the normal TPU Orzly FlexiCase. Here are some pictures for comparison:

Damn. If only I had known about the little feet it has. The photos on the Amazon listing show that the back is completely smooth and uniform

I agree with you...i was expecting a little feet but not in that way...i'm considering if i can ask a refund...at this point i will keep the Orzly Flexicase until the Ringke Fusion...however i haven't the case yet then i will wait!

The case looks nice. Is the TPU or silicone around the volume buttons stiff or soft? Stiffer material makes it feel like it is more protective.

Will the thick TPU sides of the fusion bumper turn yellow over time? Because it's already hazy and murky in brand new condition. and you can easily notice the difference in clarity between the TPU sides and Polycarbonate back.

Hi, I have a silicon case and my past experience has been that such cases eventually form a yellow tint.
So will that yellow tint be visible on this case as well?
Or are Orzly cases immune to that? Would be disappointed if after paying a premium amount, I get the same quality.
No Orzly users here? :l
Need to buy a case ASAP, bump.

I have an Orzly flexi case and no, they're not immune to the yellowing effect. In fact, if you turn on the torchlight, the whole case would illuminate in a golden yellow colour.
If you want a transparent case, I'd recommend a hybrid case like the Ringke Fusion. The polycarbonate back would be immune to yellowing and you can choose tinted TPU on the sides, since clear TPU yellows gradually.

Ah, thank you. I'll find a Ringke through aliexpress, since they officially aren't available in India, yet.
Moreover had a Ringke fusion for my OPO long back, still transparent as the first day, no yellow tint there indeed. :good:

Awesome, in for one then!
If anyone has one of these, can you describe the quality of the built in screen protector?
Does it feel like cheap plastic or glass? Does dust get trapped under there easily?
Would really appreciate it, that Supcase full body unicorn beetle looks awesome in my opinion!

Quality seems good. The clear power button is not loose at all. Lovely design, plenty of room around the camera and flash. Plenty of room around the headphone socket. No sharp edges that I find on some ~£10 cases.
Only problem is I ordered blue, and they sent me black...

I have both the Hybrid and the Unicorn Beetle... Didn't like the Hybrid at all. The fit on it is not that good, the top and bottom lips are a bit loose and saggy. Because of that, a lot dust and lint collects through there and into the case. I took it off after a week and also noticed some scratching on the clear glossy back. I don't recommend it at all, I think after some time, this case could possibly do more harm than good to your phone.
However, I also got the Unicorn Beetle and love the case! It's as if it was made by a different manufacturer, lol. The case fits perfect, good and snug, but not too tight. I wasn't crazy about the matte plastic bumper at first, it felt kind of slippery, but after a few days it seems to have broken in and feels good, nice grip. Highly recommend the Beetle over the Hybrid, totally worth the extra $4 or so.
i'm interested in the supcase white/clear but can anyone confirm if the white yellows? thanks.
which one?

That is the case that I ordered. Reasonable build quality, the rubber on the sides is pretty firm, and a little bit more grip-y than the naked phone.
I like the frosted back, as it feels resiliant enough to withstand an impact, but still shows off the brushed aluminum on the back of the phone.
Ive noticed a little bit of glare in photos with the flash enabled, I noticed that the edge surrounding the camera lens what polished so I lightly sanded it which noticeably decreased the problem.
The cutouts for the power and audio connections were a little sharp for me so I beveled them off with an exacto.
All in all, great quality case for what you are paying, and it makes me more confident in my grip on the phone!
I cant link because im to new a member apparently..
So as it turns out I'm actually allergic to the metal on the edge of the phone. Which means I can't hold onto it. Which means I need a case. So I'd like as little case as possible. If I could just get a rubber bumper to wrap around the edge and nothing else, that would be ideal.
So what's the most minimal non-metal case it's possible to get, that will cover up the metal edges? Any suggestions?
I have the Spigen air capsule. It's a really thin clear case, good quality as well. Barely feels as if there's a case on my phone..
Official Samsung case is like a bumper but but covers the back. It doesn't cover the sides but it's probably the thinnest case for the S6 Edge. I got mine at T-Mobile for cost $20. If you resister your phone on Samsung you get 30% off but I think it was a little more then what I paid.
I have the Spigen air case too. I don't normally do cases but I really like this one

I'd recommend the Ringke Fusion. Thin, transparent and covers the aluminium.

This looks to be a bumper case. http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Border-Case-White-P97640.htm
I have the Spigen Case
I have the spiggen crystal clear with air cushion. Is feels nice. And looks nice. Although think I'll find a better back protector the one they give have with the case is too small and visable.
I don't see any "air capsule" model listed on the Spigen pages. Actually, none of the cases has "air" in its name at all. The closest I can find is a case for the regular S6 that has the word "capsule" in its name, but it doesn't sound like what people are talking about. What is the official Spigen name for the model?
I don't know if you would be allergic to this metal or not, but the aluminum bumper that someone linked to previously feels very nice on mine.

For the record I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid in the Metal Slate color and it does cover all of the metal sides (unless you poke a finger into the holes in the bottom for the ports). It has a clear back, but I'm finding that the clear back is much more smudgy than the pictures on the web site (and I have installed their "anti-smudge" back film, but it doesn't seem to solve the issue).

It's the Aluminum bumper on amazon by NeWisdom. There are similar aluminum bumpers by other company's on Amazon and i assume they're all the same.
It's got a fair amount of grip... it's a matte finish metal so it's not super grippy. I get a good amount of slip reduction from the matte DBrand skin though.

This is the i-Blason Clear Halo series. I contacted them and they sent a new one out fairly quickly with the same results (the little grey/black dots). I think it's where the peaks of the diamond pattern are pressing into the TPU. Maybe the hybrid style doesn't have this effect with a hard back and TPU corners? I actually love the case, but but it makes my phone look dirty.
Yup. I got a clear case from Best Buy and returned it as soon as I got a black one from Amazon. I hate hiding what I think is a nice battery cover (white), but the bubbling or whatever just makes it look cheap with a clear case.
Is the back of that i-Blason Halo case polycarbonate or TPU?

It's *not* TPU. I was hoping maybe someone had either a hybrid or full poly clear case that could say whether that eliminates the effect. Or maybe even a different TPU that's a little harder? Don't want to end up with a bunch of worthless cases.
Edit: I'm a big fat liar. The halo is a hybrid, so TPU side and PC back. Crap...

I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid which has TPU sides and a clear polycarbonate back. While I don't have the white ceramic back, this case shouldn't press into it and cause the issue that you have with your current case.

It is. Not as hard as I'd expect though which I think is why I had in my mind that it was TPU. It's definitely not flexible like TPU and I can see where they've bonded them together. I was ready to order the Spigen and stopped when I realized I had ordered a hybrid. I don't want the same thing to happen. I'm waiting to hear back from iblason. They asked me to send them more pictures. The amazon product page definitely doesn't show the effect but who knows. They could have photoshopped them.
I got the spigen hybrid in over the weekend. It has two polka dots but far less noticable effect than the i-blason. If I end up taking a picture I'll post it up, but I'll be keeping it on there. That said, i-blason CS was great. They sent me out the replacement and ended up refunding my money. Both Spigen and Iblason seem the same quality wise. Not sure why the one shows more than the other. If I had to guess the shape of the back of the Spigen is probably more generous and/or closer to the correct curve so it doesn't have as much pressure to push into the case.

Sorry about that but she don't want to remove the protective wrap from the back cover. So no point to try. (It is in a supcase unicorn beetle so I can't see the point to not removing it but nimby)
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
Damn, turns out my clear case also creates polka dots.. even though I don't see any on the metallic silver backing.
So I got the Nillkin Frosted case and XD CP+ Max screen protector, here is the review.
The case color is nice, similar to the blue that is on the phone, so it fits well. Case is thin, textured on the back and side which makes it very comfortable on the hand, it's lightweight as well which is good. As with you expect from a thin lightweight case like this, protection won't be much, it'll save you from a short fall but nothing Mil grade protection here, no complaints.
The camera protection clearance is actually quite good, considerably more than the plastic one that comes with the phone, very happy with this.
The only Con is that when used with the same brand tempered glass, the lip sits lower than the screen protector which means don't lay the phone face down on scratching surfaces.
Now on to the screen protector. Very nicely made, heavy, good touch experience, no problem with fingerprints(you will have to re-enroll prints for best exp).
The application is a breeze, just lay it down, don't even have to apply any pressure and the adhesive will stick, removing bubbles is easy too. I left 1 small dust particle somehow and now it's visible on the screen, don't know if that will annoy me or not, might have to reapply it or use the 2nd one that I bought. This is totally my fault though. The edges of the screen will be covered just a little bit, but I don't see any problems with that, everything displays fine in full, the tiny edges covered don't make any difference once you got used to it.
So to sum up. Happy with the case. Very happy with the protector.
I'll probably wait for a nice sturdy case from some US brand to replace this one though, lip protection isn't enough.

Great review, one thing I was wondering, any chance of weighing the case? I was considering the official oneplus Karbon case, that weighs only 13 grams, but costs a lot more, I know that Niikin cases are good quality at the right price...
Do you know how much the case weighs?

no. I don't have that kind of scale to weight it properly. It's real light, it's equal to the clear case that comes with the phone at best, if not lighter.
And seeing pictures on the Karbon case I don't think they differ much in terms of protection, this one got more grip for sure. Also in the blue color very closely matched with the phone color if you have the glacier blue

no. I don't have that kind of scale to weight it properly. It's real light, it's equal to the clear case that comes with the phone at best, if not lighter.

I have the same colour of 7t , I must admit I tend to like black cases, they Karbon case is only 13grams, which is very light, I did ask on Amazon with regards to the case the weight of the Nillkin frosted case and the seller said it weighed 21gram....still nice and light, but I find the 7t a tad heavy with my current case on which is nice and protective, but weighs 32grams, I like my case etc, but the weight is kinda heavy in the hand.
I have ordered the Nillkin case from eBay from a Chinese supplier, so bit of a waiting time, but great value at only £5.40 delivered.
I am a bit unsure about spending £27.95 on the official Karbon case for the 7t, but I do know they are quiality feel in the hand.
I have had Nillkin cases in the past and I have always found them to be good quality, I shall confirm the cases weight once it arrives.
I just got this case from AliExpress for 3.5$, it's a beautiful case. Fits the 7T perfectly and cutouts are perfect too.
Does the tempered glass border cover portion of the screen?

yes it does. And more than the official glass. If you can get it and can afford it I'd still recommend official. But this one does a fine job
This is the case that was super, super slippery when I tried it. Damn near dropped my phone because of it. Sent it back.

really? Defo not to me, it has textured surface on the whole back and also on the sides, no way it's slippery. Maybe you got a different version, check my pictures
Can you add a picture of the camera bump with the case on? I use it on my Pocophone and love it, but I already ordered the 7T and want to see If i order one for it.

Why can't they make a completely transparent one without black borders? All screen guards these days come with those ugly borders.

Because they actually don't stick to the edges. The shape of the screen makes it impossible for the protector to stick correctly and it makes appear some areas which are not in contact to the screen. The black parts are actually not sticking.
What I am waiting for from Nillkin is the Nature case. Because of the Gray variant. I have the Frosted Silver variant. Even though I liked the free case inside the box... it makes the phone a lot more frosted white. Especially on the sides. If only OnePlus provided the smoke gray color just like on OnePlus 6T, It would've been perfect.
Was using the Samsung OEM silicone case but wanted something that was just as slim but also covered the camera glass because it's so big and pops out. Found this $9 case on Amazon. It has front raised lips for drop protection (minimal) and is actually even slimmer than the Samsung case so it feels like it's barely there. Unblock glossy TPU, it is matte black which I also prefer. I have a video of it here next to the official Samsung one: https://youtu.be/fMflVeSzkwU
I just ordered one...I'll let you know how I like it on Wednesday
Looks good. Wish it came with more color options though..
Good luck with the 3rd mic working properly in that case, though.

But most if not all the cases cover the microphone making it useless?

Not all. I have the ESR Tough Alliance, the Ringke X Fusion and Ringke Air-S. The Ringke cases have some 2mm of space between the camera bump. These cases do not cover the mic. The ESR cases are particularly better for its slanted sides on the camera mic side. It captures audio from the slanted side more effectively.
The Moment thin case is very nice and I think it is what you are looking for. I have it along with several Spigen cases.

You can download the user guide. It's there on page 12.
I went with a case with a sliding cover. By my standards I find the case pretty thin, but I typically go with really rugged cases, so my case thickness standards may differ from yours.

Hey thanks a lot for posting info on this case. Got mine today. Now you can hold device without the worry of fingerprints on camera..thanks again.

3rd mike useless outside of "scumbag" mode!
BUT! The camera glass shouldn't be covered like that.
Just as you should never put a runner over carpet!
Over time when you think you are protecting what's underneath you will find you're doing far more damage.
Why? Dirt gets underneath and will abrade the hell out of the glass.
I'll take my chances, sorry.
Ditto for screen. Can't stand having protectors over screens, ESPECIALLY curved screens. And too, they literally wreck the FP reader action.
JMHO, of course.

I like the case, but am wondering is there a good holster in which this case fits?

I ordered the version of this case with the built in ring stand on the back. Not only are you totally right about the danger of the camera glass getting scratched, but the entire case had no interior protection material to keep grit or dust from scuffing up the phone itself over time. It also didn't fit snug enough to make this issue moot. Immediately returned....
I ordered the LATERCASE its thin but still covers the camera Bump, has been shipped and my note 20 ultra won`t be delivered until the 19th so we`ll see how it goes.

To me, that's the best cover. Where else can be purchased?

Aliexpress for a cheaper price. Be ready for a long delivery period though of at least a month if not more.
