Protective case for use with glass protector? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories

I have tried to find the answer to this question on the forum but there is so much info it's confusing me. I would like to put on a tgsp on my S7 Edge, maybe the Gpel, but would like a case as well. Has anyone managed to find a case that fits without lifting the tgsp off please?

I have been successfully using my GPELv2 with my Otterbox Commuter case. They say it can't be done, but after using a bit of heat and "massaging" the edges of the TGSP, I then took my time applying the case, ensuring all edges were overlapped and covered. It does ever so slightly show near the bottom rear that the case is slightly bowed out, but I'm talking fractions of a millimeter, and it does not shift or affect the protector in any way, and the port covers fit and work 100%.

I would be concerned that the added pressure is more likely to make the phone damage in a fall

Play it safe...use the Spigen Thin Fit

The thought of "using a bit of heat" near my shiny new phone fills me with dread! I had hoped that there would be a case which would fit a tgsp easily but I think it looks like they are mutually exclusive unless you're prepared to take a bit of a risk.

How durable is N2 without additional cases?

Do I really need a case ?
What quality are materials used for back camera glass (will it scratch), back and silver borders?
Will the phone scratch in above places, by jsut keeping it in clean pocket or on table ?
I am considering case-mate tough case (prolly only good case available in Poland)
Its not as durable as an iphone I would say. If it had real metal for the bezel you could go by without a case. The metallic bezel scratches easily on this one.

And how about the camera glass? Does it scratch easily?
For me the biggest benefit of a case is more traction in my hand. This freaking thing is slippery without a case!

I've never read a post regarding a scratched camera glass, however the screen will most certainly scratch and it WILL shatter on impact, that much is clear from these forums.

I would have to politely disagree. The iPhone has a poor design in terms of durability. The screen (glass) goes all the way to the edge of the phone, meaning its corner is exposed. This is a bad thing because no matter how durable glass is, a simple hit in its corner will surely crack it.
For example You can take a hammer to a shower door and give it a slight smack on its surface without breaking. However, give it a slight wack on its corner and the WHOLE thing will shatter. This explains how glass as durable as gorilla glass is capable of cracking.

Completely disagree. As another poster said, iphones shatter way more thanks to the edges of the glass being highly exposed to impacts.
But as to the OP's questions, why would you NOT protect such an expensive investment?

Oh I should have stated that by DURABLE I meant can withstand everyday wear and tear. For concern of droppage, youd want cases protecting both phones.

Do you like playing Russian roulette? Unless you have insurance plan with your carrier or somewhere else ($10 a month or something like SqTd for $100, and deductible which could end up being anywhere $100-$200), I would invest in a decent $20-$40 case.
Plenty of posts in this and other forums about people shattering the glass when dropped even with tpu case or other slim plastic cases. Battery door scratch or camera glass scratch will be your least worries when you drop your phone and see a spider web going across your screen from the corner. If you want just additional grip, slim case will do it. But for drop protection you need something beefier with a bumper/lip for protection.
Then Case recommendations please
otterbox commuter
case-mate tough (europe version)
or UAG ... but with this one I would need some instruction on how to ship stuff to Poland. I never bought abroad

Either of those would be fine. Check out link in my signature for all the cases I have tested/reviewed in this forum. Since it sounds like you don't want too much bulk, for a basic everyday use Tough would be an excellent choice with SURFACE being right behind it. If you are more paranoid and will be using your phone outdoors - UAG is great. If you doing heavy duty construction work outside, CONVERT or Defender will do it. If you want to make bling-bling statement, go with aluminum bumper and fancy carbon fiber battery cover
I'm using two cases now: a UAG for when I'm at work and a Seido Snap case as a general walking around case. Both cases allow me to hide an RFID card in them for work access.
The phone itself is too slippery NOT to be in a case.
I don't know how you guys are saying this phone is very slippery. Its pretty slick with no case. The matte cases make it more smooth and slippery iMO

I strongly recommend you the Samsung Protective Cover +.I think you can find it in online shops from Poland ,or stores like Orange ,Vodafone and so on.I bought it from an online shop from Romania.It's pretty cheap.Fits very well ,had it for 3 months It adds the right amount of bulk.It's like 10,3 mm I think.It has raised borders around the screen ,so if it falls,it won't touch the screen.The back is glossy ,but the sides are offering a great grip
Also doesn't affect S Pen ,NFC ,flash or something else.There are 3 colors available:Black White and Pink.Any of these colors has white borders.Do a google search and you'll see.Ah,forgot to mention:I dropped it one time with the case on,the only thing that happened is that the S Pen went flying.
I use an invisible shield and that's all. Unless you handle your phone without care, then a case isn't really necessary unless alcohol becomes part of the equation. I have dropped my phone with the flip cover on concrete, to see it slide down the road in pieces. It didn't break nor did it have any drop damage, but I feel if I had a case, the force would have been expelled through the screen.
Samsung protcrive cover + interested me. It is nice. Have rubber raised above screen and is cheaper than others.
Anyone care to share his opinion?
Thanks for all answerws. I am still investigating other cases aswell

It was discussed as well before, rubber bumper is good, but the back part will scratch like hell. That was #1 complain about it. Also if you buy it online beware of CH cheap knockoffs.
My camera lens actually scratched somehow. Might have been when I accidentally put it in a pocket with my keys but I have never dropped it without a case on.
i dropped mine once on concrete and the screen shattered

You are most certainly the exception and should consider yourself lucky... This forum is riddled with people who cracked their screen from minimal falls even while having a case on it.

Minimal Case

Hi, I am looking for a minimal case for my Note 2. I tend to go for the soft rubber/plastic combo. Not the completely rubber kind, but the one where it's a bit harder, but not hard plastic either.
As cheap as possible would be nice of course, I am in Canada.
Mercury tpu cases are pretty nice. They hold up pretty well according to how my mom's is on her s3. Around $10 USD and widely available.

this case covers the bottom and top much better than all other slim cases like elago and spigen ultra thin air, but i agree with you...a fully surrounded case with this body would be perfect.
I've got a few tpu cases from Amazon. I even dropped my phone from chest high to the concrete and not really any noticeable marks on the case not to mention nothing happened to my phone. Well except the terrifying fall to the ground lol. Any tpu case should protect your phone just fine imo.

Me included. It only fell a foot, it had a slimline TPU case on it, and now I have a crack across the bottom of the glass.
Don't scrimp on your phone protection, the repair costs are not nice.
I agree about the TPU case protection is not a lot of protection. I just use a Cruzerlite TPU and have had my phone dropped about half a dozen times with no problem thus far. Usually I'm in the processing of catching it which significantly reduces the speed, and thus the impact force when it hits the ground.
Than said, I wasn't expecting Otterbox defender protection either. I was only looking to scratch protection for the few times I may drop the GH2, and some drop protection. I wasn't expect to have dropped my phone so many times thus far. It's possible I haven't had glass issues from having the Just Like Glass screen protector installed. It's supposedly add break resistance to the glass.
I would imagine that a gel case would add a reasonable amount of cushioning protection. Possibly enough to reduce the odds of your glass breaking.
I suppose it's a trade off between safety and usability. I have an Otterbox Defender on my phone now, and though it feels safe, it's also now too damned big to use comfortably.
Maybe this one 0.2mm

Maybe he'll ship to Canadia.
I picked one up for about $20 from the local Sprint store when I got my phone that has a rubber cover and plastic hard case that covers the phone. It even has a stand on the back. There was no product name on it, just the Sprint name so I don't know who actually made it. It's been a very good case for it since I bought it back in November.
I use a seidio surface case. It comes in 2 parts and snaps together in the middle. It has survived one drop from my pocket onto concrete so far. The 2 halves popped apart which I think is by design because it's happened before when I had one on a blackberry. It's expensive though and I'm sure I could have found more economical protection if I had bothered looking.

Otterbox commuter pics and thoughts

Figured id snap a few pics of the otterbox commuter since i didnt see any after searching. I really like the feel and looks of this case. It offers awesome protection but not much bulk. I had the defender but just really didnt like the design. I think otterbox did awesome with the commuter. Plus the screen protector is super clear and easy to apply.
Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
Awesome, been waiting for someone to post info/pics first hand of this. I have the Incipio DualPro but have been considering switching to the Commuter. The grip on the DualPro is a bit slick and I hate how the top and bottom flap around too easily.
Hows the grip on the Commuter and do any of the edges flap around if you flick your finger over them, or are they held tight? Hows the travel on the back button covers feel? Is it just as easy to press the buttons?

All the buttons are easy to press. I know for a while otterbox was putting out cases with stiff buttons. The flaps all real tight and require some effort to open them which i think is good. This case dosent seem as slippery as my other commuters. My s3 was a pain to grip. 1 week use and no scratches on screen protector

How much bulk does the Commuter add to the G2 (compared to the Dualpro)? How about the lip around the screen?
It's at least half again as thick as the Dual Pro, from the last time I tried it, and the rim adds about 1/8" to the height of the screen. It makes the phone wider than the Spigen Slim Armor, which already adds 1/8" on each side and back.

Thanks for the input. Deciding between these two cases.
Eta:
Could someone take a picture of the phone naked next to the case (commuter) so I get the idea of bulk that's added. Thanks!

Just got the Spigen Clear Capsule for my M8.

The fit is perfect, as with all of Spigen's products. The shape follows the curves of the phone well. There is an edge around the side that feels great in the hand. The front has a slight lip that keeps the screen safe when placed face down. The look is optically clear and flawless, it really shows off the aluminum. The feel is smooth and "sticky". This case won't be slipping out of your hand anytime soon. Pair this with a Spigen screen protector (I did) and your investment is safe.

It's about 1/8" thick but it doesn't add that much size to the phone, it's already a heavy phone to begin with. I know there are thinner cases out there but for me, it's a good trade off for the quality and the protection it affords.

Their loss in my case. I didn't have time to wait with my job so I had to move to another maker. I really wanted a Spigen too. Glad to see its working for ya. Maybe on my next phone I'll give them a shot...
My case came in today as well. Love the look and this phone is phone is no longer slippery. Bestcase so far.
I have one of these on the way as well. I like that it's clear so I can still show off the beautiful gunmetal grey finish.
I ordered one but now might return it. Going to be here in a day or two but now I want to add this qi wireless charging solution where you hide the receiver in a case. http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Univ...id=1396026021&sr=8-1&keywords=type+b+micro+qi Wonder if I could spray paint the wireless receiver to a gunmetal type color and if it would look ok in the clear case? Probably a dumb idea.
I do have the dot view case already that I think I could hide it in. Though I'm not sure I want to always use that case. It's neat but I think it's novelty will wear off and it'll get annoying. Anyway if you want to read more on wireless charging there's a thread in this forum.

Been looking for something like this thanks!
I went to order my Spigen a week or so ago (I had posted about them in this forum). When I tried to order from my wishlist on Amazon it said someone already ordered me two. I was thinking my Dad. He says he didn't. I am hoping it comes today, and it was not an amazon glitch. LOL.
In case anyone didn't know they seem to be back up on the site (No longer saying mid- April)
I just received mine.
Definitely a *very* Spigen product, consistent with their design philosophy.
Let's start with the con:
• Edges are rather sharp, it lacks that rounded edges. As a result, it feels like a fair bit of bulk is added.
And the pros:
• The TPU material is definitely the best out there; about 4-5x thicker on the back side than the average TPU cases, and about 2x thicker around the sides/bezel/lip.
• Fairly decent lay on the table on the front face, leaving an ample clearance between the screen and table surface if you're laying it screen facing down.
• Audio port and USB port have their own cut-outs, and they're nice and have ample enough opening for most (respective) accessories.
• Volume buttons and power buttons are covered, and they have a very satisfying tactile feel when pressed.
• Clear material, really shows the true colour of the M8's Gunmetal Grey. Some TPU cases cloudy clarity; but not the case with Spigen's. EDIT: Someone mentioned a tint of yellow of the rubber; I noticed it too; but I believe it heavily depends on the kind of light that hits the TPU material.
• Improves tact; texture on the TPU material adds grip.
Things to watch out for:
• As like most clear TPU, there might be discoloration overtime. We'll see how the Spigen's Ultra Fit Capsule fares in the long run.
• Spigen's other Ultra Fit products come with a screen protector. Wouldn't hurt for Spigen to bundle the Ultra Fit capsule with a screen protector.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the purchase! Spigen never disappoints. But having said that, I wish they'd curve the edges slightly.
7.5/10 (that sharp edges really hurt the score).
My case came today as well, and it looks very sturdy. I hope the TPU doesn't turn yellow though! A good case for everyday use.

Has anybody gotten the official nexus case with the cloth back? Would you mind uploading a couple pics and general impressions?
Thanks!

My impression is that it's an amazing case. Fits great and the cloth backing is very unique. I love the feel of it. I can't use all the time because I'm in medical field and feel like it'll be a magnet for bacteria but otherwise I love the look and feel of it. Also I don't think it'll work good with tempered glass screen protectors because the lip around the screen feelz pretty tight.
Glad to hear it! Also, I'm a resident so we shall see how this case fares lol
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
I like the case, but it does push on the glass screen protector. My screen protector placement was off by about 0.05mm towards the right, and that may be contributing towards the problem. Since I'm usually unlocking the phone with the fingerprint reader, I don't end up using those buttons much anyways.

Sad, the $35 Adopted case seems to be the only available design forward case. I think all the cases on Amazon look like cheap plastic with a giant logo endorsing the cheap plastic. I'm a fan of a naked device, but acknowledge that's not always the safest for the device. Maybe in time, we will see a balance between price, function, and design from somebody. In the interim, the quartz Adopted case is in the running for me. I am also in healthcare, but tend to only handle my phone after I am washed up and keep the phone in a non-patient care area. With that said, the fabric on the back would be difficult to clean.

No photos, but I have it and like it. The back fabric is very soft & smooth, a cross between felt and well-worn jeans. So far the geometric print and "nexus" print lettering is holding up. There's a nice solid rubber bumper around the camera, so no worries about damaging it. Fit on the front is essentially 95% perfect with a Pleson screen protector... basically there's a hair's width of movement on the edges if I push hard when the case slips up over the protector.

Same experience here. Generally good, just little quibbles like this. My initial reaction was that it felt like a cheap piece of carpeted rubber from the '70s, but it's growing on me. I also wonder how much disgusting filth is going to accumulate in the microfiber over time... hopefully it's not too absorbent.
I love the feel of it but my only gripe would be the lip over the front of the hugs the screen I bit too much and a bit too tight. Dust and pocket lint gets caught in between the screen and lip way too easily. Making my otherwise perfect phone look dirty. I had to take it off because of that. Still contemplating putting it back on because the back is awesome. I'm warming up to the bare phone now though.

Three-hundred Grit Sand Paper. It's great on the fingers. ?
Actually it means Tempered Glass Screen Protector

Is the Play Store the only place to find these? $35 is steep!

Tempered Glass Screen Protector.
Does anyone have or tried the folio version of the case? Not sure which one I should get, but when a flip case is made well i usually prefer them to standard ones.
i have the carbon case (the one without the flip cover) for my carbon 5X and I love it. I am confident that it would protect the device from most standard drops and whatnot. I also have a glass screen protector on mine and it is a bit of a tight fit but it still works. The cloth on the back is capable of getting wet without it ruining it, at least a few times anyway. I occasionally take an antibacterial wipe to my devices and the same goes for the case. It definitely absorbs the liquid but after a 20 minute air dry it's dry and ready to go again. still looks and feels just like the day I bought it. There are thinner cases out there but they offer less protection.
Does nexus 5x spigen 9h protector fits with original adopted nexus case?
If they don't fit together, do you have any recommendation for case that looks like adopted with equal or better quality and protection ?
And is there better screen protector than spigen 9h?
does anyone have a contact email for customer services at the google store? I want the folio case in quartz but it's out of stock at the moment. Need to know when it will be back in stock. In the mean time i have a Ringke slim case for protection.
