Having seen the S7 edge, the only thing that stands out (particular if you're a 64gb user) is the curved back.
Would you buy a curved back replacement if you could get it?
I've cracked my S7 Edge and S6 Edge at least 4 times already. I don't use a case because it's like putting a case on a Maserati. You're supposed to show it off! But I'm tired of paying the deductible and having my phone in the shop. I feel like the S7 Edge is more prone to cracks than the S7 because the metal on the side of the S7 absorbs more impact instead of the edge glass. I've almost decided to switch to the S7 because of this.
Anyone have any suggestions on a case that both 1) protects the edge glass sides and 2) shows off the sleek design? I'm okay if it covers the edge glass because the touchscreen on the edge is a bit too sensitive anyway.
You cracked your phones 4 times, therefore you need the Unicorn Beetle Pro case.

Just got this one in as I've had good experiences with their cases in the past. I chose the matte smoke so it doesn't show dirtiness or discolor easily like a clear would. On my titanium S7E, it looks fantastic. The sides are clear so it blends in perfectly. The back looks okay... but I never look at the back of the phone anyway.
Only thing I may not like about it is the buttons... the edges stop where the aluminum edges meet the glass on the sides, so it keeps the naked feeling on the actual display which is great. The case does go over the buttons though, but doesn't wrap completely around the side of them so the case buttons can slip off the actual buttons somewhat easily and feel weird/make it slightly hard to push the buttons. It's hard to describe. The corners are very well protected though and the case is tight on the phone. I'll take a picture later.
Why not posting in the S7E accessories section?

Stop droping your phones.
Many, many case reviews here:

But no case that retains edge functionality will really prevent damage if you drop your phone and the edge hits something hard.
Hi, I think my camera and flash didnt come with a plastic film on.I dont want to break anything when trying to peel something off, is this possible?I noticed that sometimes it struggles a tiny bit to focus
and btw, when I record a video, the camera zooms much more than when taking photos,even more zoom that my galaxy s6, and seems to have less quality...Does it have to do with a plastic or something?
Thanks
Mine didn't come with film either.

Jesus these curved screen phones are pissing me off, I kid you not.
I'm a huge fan of tempered glass screen protectors , In fact it's a deal breaker for me.
I hate the feel of PET or TPU screen protectors with their magical self healing properties, they feel soft and sticky..not smooth.
I don't have particularly enormous hands so i want a small..ish 5.1" to 5.2" phone with a good Screen to body ratio.
I can't believe how hard it is now to find a FLAT SCREENED small..ish FLAG SHIP phone.
They are all huge 5.5" to 37" bloody screens.
I have an S6 EDGE and i love the phone, I love how fast it is, I love the Camera.
Don't get me wrong I'm not a Samsung Fanboy, I HATE hardware buttons , I HATE TOUCHJIZZ (Thank god for Xposed Framework, at least i can manage resolution) But most of all i HATE the freaking shape of the back of the phone (Hold it long enough without a case and it leaves a dent in your hand it's so sharp) and i HATE the shape of the curved screen.
Even with a terrible PET screen protector i find the keyboard is occasionally unresponsive.
I have a Z3 and a Z3+ (Z4) and they are just not in the same ballpark as the S6 speedwise and are considerably bigger in size.
I've used a Z5 and lets face it, Even the SnapDragon 810 falls behind the S6 EDGE.
However , If I'd known that there are no tempered glass screen protectors for the S6 Edge, I wouldn't have bought it.
I was super excited to learn about the huawei P9 , Small phone..Fantastic Screen to body Ratio , Big Battery, SD Card Slot, 4 Gig of Ram, Freaking Amazing camera's...And then they go and ruin it with a 2.5D curved screen that no tempered glass screen protector will fit on properly..They all have to be made smaller than the screen.

Then Samsung announce the S7 , fixing up all the issues with the S6, Bigger battery, SD Card Slot , 4 Gig of ram, Fantastic screen to body ratio ..and what do they do..Go and ruin it by putting a 2.5D curved screen on it so once again you can't have a tempered glass screen protector that covers the whole screen..they are made smaller , you can feel the edges , they interfere with typing.
Sooooooo, The S7 is a no go.
The LG G5 is just a little to big for my hands ..yet i love tap on.
I can't believe this , but I'm actually considering a standard 128 Gig S6 with a flat screen just so i can actually protect it and enjoy using it, and maybe add a Mophie
Juice pack or something similar thats thin and doesn't add much side bulk to the phone...at least i know tempered glass works with the Mophie since they sell one with it.

I consider curved glass on phones like 3D movies , they are coming out all over the place, yet I don't know a single person that likes 3D movies or goes to see them.
I haven't actually ever used or held a standard S6 (In fact the only reason i got the edge was for the bigger battery *sigh*) but i presume they are totally flat and can have a normal glass screen protector put on them.
I don't know if this is the correct forum for this, but i don't think XDA has a RANTING and VENTING forum lol.
Well i don't know what you're talking about, there are dozen of tempered glass for the S7 edge that fully covers the screen perfectly. Check on Zagg website or on ebay. Although they are expensive. The annoying part though is that they have to color the top/bottom bezel for I don't know what stupid reason...they should make it just transparent
I don't get it either... Why the hell you bought an EDGE in the first place? You could have chosen a normal S6 that was same as an Edge but with a flat display.
You say you don't want huge (5.5") displays but you bought an S7 Edge that HAS a 5.5" CURVED display. Why haven't you bought a regular S7 instead (that has a flat 5.1" display) ?
Ok, I got it. First time you bought the S6 Edge you might have made a mistake, new phone, first one with a curved display, bla, bla...but doing the same thing second time and complaining about it...
Oh and a last thing. Read a little about "nanofixit" (or similar) screen protectors. It's liquid, increases the display hardeness up to 9H and fits any display (cause it's liquid). Glass screen protectors start to become obsolete

Ummmm , Do i need to point it out or should i just tell him to reread.
Fine for the slow ones.
1) I did not buy an S7 edge, no where in there do I state that I did... In fact I said the S7 was out with the simple phrase "sooooooooooo the S7 is a no go"
2) The reason I didn't buy the S7 is because you're actually incorrect.. They don't have a flat screen.. They have what is known as a 2.5D screen... Basically this is a useless tapered end of the screen.. It serves no function other than to look good... But what it does is stop tempered glass protectors from covering the complete screen since they've not (contrary to mnm372) developed the process to adhere the curved glass protector to the screen.. The coloured tops and bottoms he mentioned are to hide the glue.. They can only glue them on in the 4 corners... So far there has not been one good or favourable review of a curved tempered glass screen protector for the s6 or s7 edge.. They just don't make full contact with the screen.. I've tried 3 so far, all from different manufacturers, all applied by people that do this for a living (I'm not good at it).. All were a failure.
3) What I said was, I was considering an S6 flat version just so I can have a small but powerful flagship phone with a tempered glass screen protector.
You're referring to such products as Crystalusion, I do in fact have a packet in front of me right now.. But i can assure you it's not the same as a tempered glass protector.
Sure, it's touted to protect your screen against normal use, scratches, abrasive marks.. Even bacteria.. However on my nexus 4, it didn't stop the screen from cracking when it was dropped.
A tempered glass protector did exactly what it was supposed to do when my Z3 was knocked off a table.. It broke the tempered glass and protected the screen underneath 100%...that's its job.
My pet hate or pet peeve, people that can't or don't read... Next time read and comprehend.

On my s7 edge sprint I saw what l first thought was a bubble or lifting edge on the flash/hr senser and after a bit of fiddling i found it was a film, is there another on the camera?
