I would definitely get a case for this - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

Went into a tmobile store to see their demo blue coral and noticed a lot of scuff marks on the bottom rear of the phone. I can only assume they've only had this for a a week and it's already this bad. SMH. They are definitely scratches. I tried rubbing it off and ran my nails through it. Rough AF.

My case is sitting right next to me thank god

Anyone that doesn't immediately get a case for a glass phone, gets what they deserve.

Maybe that's how they made gorilla glass 5 more durable to drops by making it softer. But now more susceptible to scratches.

Speaking of cases, what is everyone planning on getting? I got a cheap Supcase Bettle unicorn, frosted case to begin with. I'll probably get a Spigen Neo hybrid later on.

I'm not going with a case... Toast said they'll have wooden skins ready by the end of the month, so that's what I'm going for.
Maybe leather if they make one. But not metal or plastic.

Ok, looking at that...you convinced me not to use a typical case. What devices have you used this for? How does it protect against drops? I am not one of those who will beat down on their devices but sometimes I do forget it is on my lap while at movie theaters and it will drop....or stepping down from cars. Does it cover all the edges? Looking at the pictures on their websites I can't tell....give me the skinny!

The very edges are slightly visible, but the corners are covered. The sides of the phone are also covered, and they include wooden button caps and camera lens covers. The front isn't covered unless you spend the $10 for a front cover, but if you do then of course the capacitive buttons and fingerprint scanner are left uncovered. The wood isn't thick enough to interfere with usage, thankfully, but it is the thickest and highest quality wood cover I've seen.
I don't have any phones that they make skins for, but I've visited their "factory" in Portland and handled several iPhones and Android phones with their skins attached. They're really nice and high quality, better than similar skins I own for other products.
Take a look at this video for a typical phone installation:
As you can see, nice and easy - just be careful about it, and go slow. It will re-adhere if you mess it up, but the first application is always the strongest by far, and you don't want those edges coming up.
E: I should clarify that you can re-apply in the first 5-10 minutes, but after that the adhesive is 'set' and will not be reusable. It's really strong adhesive, so it isn't going anywhere, but it also does have an oxygen-activated cure.

Skins are a thick sticker and protect as such. They are no replacement for a good case.

Agreed. A skin, even a wooden one, is not a case. They don't offer shatter protection - merely scratch protection. In this case they also make the phone look nicer in my opinion :good:

I would like to mention a small local company. They haven't put out a note 7 case yet. They offer several cases made out of exotic wood, and they look fan-****ing-tastic.
The company is called carved sorry I can't post a link yet

That why i scoff at people that say you dont need a case because either its going to be easier to scratch or easier to shatter.

This exactly. There is a trade off of hardness to toughness. Hardness is what prevents scratching but the harder you make it, the more shatter prone so in essence you lower the toughness

Great to see it in action. Now it's just the phone that's missing. But I think the back cover goes on the back or the phone and not on the case itself. Since plastic on glass will create those smudge effect that doesn't look too good tbh.
Got my cases shipped 18th of March but guess it takes abit longer to ship to Sweden than the US. Got the Crystal Clear and Smoke Crystal.

If you can let update us on the fit. I got their thin fit model and it's really loose. and not snug like the same case for the S4. Apparently a lot of people are complaining about it.

thanks for the pics
i just ordered 3 of them from ebay
50usd for 3 of them includes the shippment
I actually had no idea these things came with clear protectors for the back. Only complaint I have is that they don't fit around the camera and flash/health sensor very well, and will be distracting if the phone's out of the case at any point. And if you want to temporarily switch cases, the poor cutout will be distracting. Almost perfect, but just barely disappointing :T
At the same time, though, I'm not sure if other companies offer that back adhesive.

You guys should seriously consider the Spigen NeoHybrid. Back of case is ruberized. Sides of case, meaning total peripheral is metal. Actually feels superb to hold and you still have that sense of a metal body the naked GalaxyS6 Edge comes with. Nice larger cutouts for headphone plug as well as USB for those with larger connectors. Absolutely no regrets. I did NOT opt for the optional free front screen protector. I like the look and feel of a phone with the screen as is.

I mentioned this to Spigen, they said it's so that it doesn't catch on the case?? Not sure how that's possible, as I'm fairly sure they could have made it go right to the edge of the glass and not have any issues with the case, but oh well, maybe (I hope) they tried that before making them in this smaller size
Is it mandatory to place the back screen protector when using this case? Will the case actually scratch the back glass? Thanks in advance.
you have to decide if its worth it to you to be protected, or you don't care..frankly, since I will probably jump in 6 months to the next great thing, I don't care if the back of the phone has a few scuffs, since it doesn't affect the ability to jump with T mobile. Plus, who stares at the back of their phone anyways..
I did put it on anyways, since it was there, and I figured might as well.
But if you buy it outright, or plan on keeping the phone for a while, you might feel differently

Just an update on this. I have the same case since day 1 of owning the phone. It's got an ungodly amount of scratches, more than any phone I've seen before. Additionally, it has a green tint around the sides. Very disappointed. I would complain to the makers of it but I'm out of the country currently.

I guess i was overconfident after watching all those drop test videos, anyways i ordered the replacement screen that was posted and will replace it myself which seems easy.
Usually never rock cases on my phones but when I heard this phone was gonna have a glass back and after owning an iPhone that had a cracked glass back due to a drop I ordered a case for my S6 when I got home from T-Mobile lol.
Got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on the phone. Slim, clear, cheap and offers a fair bit more protection. Not bulky at all like some of those otterbox cases which are just too much for me.

A metal back ? Where do they sell those lol.
Try to avoid too much metal on the case if you want good reception, also a metal case would pretty much nix wireless charging for you if you use that.
I don't know if the S6 is that different in terms of the wireless radio signal's penetrating power, but my iPhone 4's glass back was broken and replaced with a metal back piece and worked fine.

I think the bigger problem is that your screen is painted over in white and also has a camera/heart rate monitor in the middle of it. The back of your phone is not the screen!:good:

+1 Besides all that a hard plastic shell protects much better than metal. Ill never under stand the want for "premium" builds, they just crack, dent and conduct electricity better. I have seen more cracked and dented premium built iphones than all android phones put together. Seriously everybody I know who has a iphone has had a damaged iphone at one time. Im getting a case on this phone the second I get it which pretty much makes that premium build nothing but a bragging right. That is a stupid thing to brag about if you ask me.

It is called "glass." Corning did not break his phone. We're his phone made of normal glass, the results would have been worse.
Luckily, T-mobile forces you to get jump for the first month. You're out $175, but at least you can get a new phone.
The glass is very strong.
The problem with glass is the stronger you make it by tempering the more likely it will fail, sometimes explosively, when that "pent up" tension is suddenly released! How does it happen? All it takes is a strike or stress to the edge. Strikes to the face with blunt objects won't do it. It can take an incredible amount of abuse. So how do you prevent this from happening? A case, even a thin one, will work wonders. When it's dropped even a thin TPU will absorb this sharp shock that the glass would receive when struck on its edge. Of course a face down drop onto gravel allowing a stone to strike the glass on the edge will still cause it to break when it hits right. And Mister Murphy will ensure this just as a cat always lands on its feet...
Even a bumper will offer protection from edge impacts. Unfortunately you have to cover things up for a more rounded real life solution.
Sorry boutcha bro.. Case it up. I ordered the Case Mate clear case that T-Mobile has in store at $34.99 for $18 on Amazon. Got it today and its like its not even on, super thin and clear with metal buttons. I HIGHLY recommend it. At least it's SUPER EASY to replace the back cover, like 5 minutes if that..

It's super novice and I've never done something like this before. Go easy on me since it's truly an amateur effort and handmade. I've never made a vinyl for a character, but no better way to start than with the new Storm Trooper from Star Wars Episode VII.

I'm not a huge fan of this style but I think it's pretty well made! I personally more interested in a leather or PU leather one, with this kind of pretty good quality, you may know where I can find it? Thanks
For sure, everyone has their own style. Slickwraps typically has real leather, cork and even football skin versions on this natural series. I'd dig leather too.
i don't get how people have the balls not to put a case on this phone
Lol I've been a long time smart phone owner and have never dropped a phone. That being said I have insurance! I just have a hard time not using it bare. They spend millions in R&D to develop this design and I can't stand putting it in a case. I had a clear TPU on it and I hated after a few weeks. Lol I'm crazy though.

These are port covers I cut off my old Ringke case. I have real dust covers in mail though. Lol
Sent from my tablet
Here's the solid orange Slickwrap color with my Ringke Fusion (case fits very tight.. had to force it on and it caused a few small tears on the sides of the skin). Install was super easy and for the screen protector I just cut a Healing Shield so that it fit perfectly in the opening. If the screen protector covers anything other than the actual screen then it will not work with the front skin.
The only issue I have is getting the corners to sit down on 1 side... I think it will eventually flatten out as long as I hold it in place a few more times. Really liking the look.

Thor Case will make OnePlus 3 a Beast from the outside

Has anyone tried ordering one of these from Aliexpress? I ordered one already and totally excited about it.
Some youtube videos of the case for other phones are already there. I am sure this sleek Beast and the Metal Thor cover would make a Machine in hand.
I ordered the Black one.
All I can say is These got looks and also can surely protect the phone with such bulk build.
PS: Sorry i cant attach pics here. I am new member in the forum and XDA will allow me to post pics after 10 posts. You can always google the case and tell me what you feel about it.

Yeah, wasn't to happy with the hole for FP scanner. I don't use the scanner and have it disabled, so I went down and bought a package of plastic laminating sheets and cut two oval pieces just bigger than the hole. Put one on front and one on back to cover hole. I work in a cabinet shop and sawdust was constantly getting in, so this solved my issue. I'm not sure, but the FP scanner might still work with it covered like that, not tried it yet to see. Other than that, that Tudia case is great, looks good and offers excellent drop protection. I know first hand, dropped phone from 3 foot up on concrete floor.

FOUND! Thin Case with CAMERA PROTECTION

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.

Good luck with the 3rd mic working properly in that case, though.

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.

I received my latercase a few days ago and really like it. Its the thinnest most minimalistic case you can get imo with camera bump protection..

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.
