Now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is out and about, we're interested in learning what cases you're after (or currently using) to protect it from damage. It doesn't matter what style — flip cover, full body film, hybrid case or skin case — we want to know your favorites. Following this thread will be our "Best cases for the Galaxy S6 Edge" article that will encompass what our community has deemed worthy above the rest, so share your opinions because they matter!
Pelican Protector Case
I have the Pelican protector case specifically made for the S6 edge. While both the Pelican S6 and S6 edge cases fit my phone, the S6 case covered part of the edge notifications. The Pelican case is solid and lightweight, and most importantly, after a couple drops, my phone remains intact.
Does it reduce the mobile signal?
I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most. Thin and has a nice feel in hand.
Spigen neo hybrid is great! I had the official samsung clear case which was nice but offered very little protection! The neo hybrid is great looking (some people may find it even adds to how the phone looks) Cut outs are done to perfection. Buttons work flawlessly despite being covered. It fits snug and feels solid as well! I honestly NEVER leave a case on . Anytime i buy a new phone i always buy a case and within a week i take it off because i just don't like the feel, the look , the bulk etc This is the first case i have ever bought that iam happy to leave on
im using this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S6-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ede69779b
and its really really good. i have dropped its 3 times, and nothing happend. really good product by spigen.

Nope, my signal is great!
Obliq Slim Meta Case
I am currently using the obliq slim meta case. Its relatively inexpensive $15 on amazon and it arrived in less than 4 days (im located in southern california; LA to be specific).
Its not so much for protection against drops but I love it because it protects that AWFUL camera hump and the lip on the front edge protects the screen if i were to place it face down.
super stylish as well. I cant post a link to it because i am a new member but its easy to find on amazon

Love this case!
I use the Urban Armor Gear and I love it! Dropped my phone many times and this case saved it many times! I like that its see thru and has a pretty nice design on the back. By far the best slimish case I've owned for a phone!

That case is great the only thing that pulls me away is indeed the price, I would love to try it. At the moment my favorite one is ringke slim

For the price it is worth it on amazon!

My favorite case is my still my first case and that is the Spigen Neo Hybrid!
Anyone run a very minimal case? I don't want to add heft. I usually just use a screen protector, but otherwise naked.

Obliq dual poly: $15 comes with 3 colored accents, and it looks great.
PS I can wirelessly charge with it on also

I run just a slickwrap skin. I got the Obliq for my wife and it is very minimal but I like the wrap with a screen protector better.
one more vote for ringke fusion
Shumuri slim extra for me, should get it soon

Ringke SLIM case is simply beauty. No more worried on fingerprint.
Spigen Neo Hybrid for me too. I really like it. Feels great. Tight fit. Raised just enough to set the phone down either way and not scratch the screen or camera. Looks great.

I have this case, not currently using it due to it having no grip, really slippery, but it does look nice.
I had this case on my s6 edge (caseology waterfall) but they don't offer this case on the note 5

Just received this one from Amazon today. It's pretty good, but it would be better with a black TPU instead of clear TPU. The clear TPU means you can see the actual buttons on the phone under the metal buttons of the case. It looks really weird and clumsy.
Other than that, it's a pretty solid case. I really wanted a Neo Hybrid EX, but Spigen told me they weren't making one.

Thank your sharing. It's not a good price for a phone case, but it looks high quality and protective. I'll give a shot only if it gets good reviews.
I am currently attracted by phone cases made by the company call Design Skin. You can search it on Amazon. They have really nice cases. I saw lots of thin cases with great protection functions. Hope this helped~!
I searched a lot and did not found a good flip case.
I want it to be slim with magnet but with out the tailed button.
Any recommendations
Thanks
My choice is always Piel Frama case, expensive, but the best. I use their SlimFrama case for my S7 Edge.

Other I've used in past is PDair.. Now I haven't actually looked into their offering for the S7 Edge. There are so many imitation leather cases in the market, which after a while go frail. PDair are good quality leather.

You can try genuine leather flip case, some of them not bad.
I have this one Rock Dr. V Slim Case
The case looks good, but I don't like plastics, also price not good.
This is the slimmest flip case I have. It adds almost no size to the phone. Protection is decent but flap has no magnetic (or otherwise) closure so it could fall screen exposed. It may still be OK as the corner edges stand somewhat proud but I wouldn't recommend this case if ruggedness is priority . Looks stunning and has a soft interior for phone surface protection.

This one is by far the best quality case I have;

quality and overall protection whilst still keeping a slim profile (not as minimal as the above but certainly not bulky). A case worthy for a flag ship.
Both show the beautiful shape of the phone off and let's face it, that is why most of us bought it rather than hiding it away in ugly, bulky cases.
Hope this helps.
What would you say is a good SLIM cover that will keep the footprint to minimum but will also provide solid protection?
There are so many on ebay and I can't decide.
I really liked the bumper cases by Luphie or other variants on my note 7. Its slim, protects the edges, and leaves the back bare showing gloss black or dbrand skins. I'd do the same set up if I havent invested in spigen screen protector/case combo.

The official Samsung cases are the slimmest i have found on every phone including the Note 8
but there more pricey
Im using a Black Alcantara case by Samsung
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Al...24043&sr=8-1&keywords=galaxy+note+8+alcantara
Slim and has a great look/feel to it
better and cheaper than samsung

I have this case too! in blue and it works perfectly with the whitestone dome... i use a magnetic car holder and this case has a rectangular inset in the inside for a magnet too ...
perfect for me ...
Personally, this is a nice case as well

and it works perfectly with this belt clip holder
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075DKDY4V

Yeah I love the Alcantara case. I have it in gray and it hugs the phone nicely plus feels soft to the touch.
I have this lumion case and it's pretty thin and feels great in hand

I'am rocking the Spigen Liquid Armor atm. Over feel is rly good, looks are very good to, simple black texture, will fit everyone.
But kinda not liking that edges are covered too much for my taste (maybe this way they are more protected) ofc screen is not covered in any way, precision is rly good. I was used to UAG cases, they had a very minimal edge protection imo but you still kept that edge screen feeling with Liquid Armor it's gone at least for me. That's why I might get UAG Plasma some day.

Monarch case by UAG is doing good for me, not as thick as otter box, but has taken some waist high falls with no trouble so far.

I work in construction, as well. The case I'm looking for needs to be dust and waterproof, so I researched them all. Most are not dust-tight, or waterproof, at all, but there are a couple. I reviewed two on here the other day, and that thread is down just a bit from this one.
ArmorX is what I'm using, right now. As soon as Juggernaut gets theirs out for the Note 8, I'm probably dropping the money on one... I've seen the Juggernaut cases take some serious abuse, and I'm pretty sure that whatever they come out with for the Note 8 is going to be the most protection you can get on the market.
I'm using this case: https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-note-8/products/galaxy-note-8-case-rugged-crystal
It's so cute and sexy but may not be suitable with construction.

i use the unicorn beetle and can confirm it is the best. i work construction. it has flaps to keep dust out your ports but at the same time isnt super bulky
i need two cases, one rugged for outdoors and one sleek / slim for everyday use. Both should be Whitestone OK as well.

How long have you been using that case? I'm reading on Amazon that some people are saying on the first drop their screen broke with that case.
Love the UAG Monarch. I haven't dropped my phone yet (fortunately), but it feels so solid and protective while maintaining a much slimmer profile than the Otterbox.
Is the supcase unicorn pro with the screen protector have a soft or hard inner case design? Does the N8 sit on hard or soft plastic?
