There's a really good deal for Spigen cases for Galaxy S7 in this thread, so I was wondering which one do you recommend for black Galaxy S7? I really can't decide which one to go with.
Crystal/transparent protectors looks nice on a silver version, but mine is black, so I have no idea if they are visually appealing in that case. I would really not like to have a bulky S7 that wouldn't sit well in hand, but at the same time good protection would be great. So how does their protectors compare, which one do you recommend?

I have this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01B1I6J0E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 and I ordered a black onyx Galaxy S7. The case arrived yesterday but the phone itself won't be here until today or tomorrow. (UPS says today but they don't even have the package yet) The case is a nice thin one. I compare it to an Incipio case for my S5 and the Sigen case makes it look like the S7 is a thinner phone then the S5. So I'd say this case does not add much to the phone at all.
I went with the Artech 21 Vivid series:

I purchased 2 cases for my Galaxy S7: Spigen [Thin Fit] Exact-Fit [Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case & SPIGEN Clear Crystal TPU. I have the black S7. I loved the clear case for my white Note 5 but do not like it for the black S7. The other case, premium matte hard case, is awesome! Adds little -> no bulk.

I just got my thin fit exact fit and agree looks very minimal just enough to protect back glass... hope I get my s7 early.. are you going to use a glass front protector?
Nah, I'm going to take my chances. I've never used the screen protection and all the years of had phones or PDA's.

I am pretty sure I will buy this model for my boyfriend´s birthday in April. I have already seen cases on line in Amazon or Mobilefun.com that says available. Do you think they are trustable?
Could I buy one to give as a small present in San Valentin´s day? Or they will be fake as model is not in the market yet?
Any help?http://cdn2.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

I just saw that Rokform has a new case coming for the S7 that they call the "Sport Utility case" I think it would be worth checking out if you want a case that can perform multiple tasks as well as protect your phone.

I've had a bunch of spigen neo hybrids (best looking IMO) but the biggest downfall is the plastic bumper around the charger port cracks. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

They make one for only Best Buy with a clear back. Got one with the phone Friday and it is nice and slim. Easy to get the phone in and out. There is also a version out with Buffalo leather that looks good in the pictures.
Also ordered the Ballistic Tough Case for extreme days. Had one on the HTC M7 for over two years rough years and the phone looks like new.
Has anyone had better luck than I at finding a case and screen protector, preferably one with a matte finish, that work well together on the S7 (non-edge)? I generally use Spigen cases as they are slim and slightly wrap around the front of the phone. However, this caused my first two screen protectors (both plastic) to bubble up around the edges and eventually peel off. The best was the Skinomi but it only lasted a few weeks longer than the first one I tried.
From reviewing most threads it looks like most people have either went the route of either a) skin + screen protectors or b) case + no screen protectors on their S7 due to slightly curved nature of the screen. But being as it's now September, I was hoping there would have been some better options to fully protect the phone. I'm hoping to hear if anyone has found a good combo.
Thanks in advance.

Has anyone found any matte screen protector that works with ANY s7 case?
No luck? I just put a Spigen Neo-Hybrid and immediately the BSE cover bubbled up.
The Tech21 matte screen protector works with my Tech21 cases, which have quite a lip, so I assume it'll fit other rugged cases too.

I use the tech 21 matte impact shield with a tech 21 impact tactical case. Really nice combo that work well together, but far from cheap!
I use goospery with screen protector and no problems

I paid £16 for mine here in the UK off ebay. They are very pricey but I am very happy with it. The anti glare makes such a huge difference. Equally it does feel like it will last.
The tactical case I got seems very rare to source here in the UK as well from anywhere other than tech 21. Ended up paying £30 for that!

I've heard about the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Cases. Apparently, they can withstand 11ft drops on concrete. Has anyone had any experience with them in the past? Do they hold up? I am deathly afraid of cracking my S8 Plus but also find the idea of covering up my GORGEOUS phone with a case to be stupid. Thoughts?

Do you recommend it for a balance of protection and minimalism?
I do. When I had it in my s6 I put a slick wrap skin on the back and a tempered glass on th the front.

I had one on my Note 5 with a Dbrand skin, they didn't make one for the S7 Edge or a Note 7. I pre-ordered and it's supposed to ship next week. Only downside I had is it takes a while for the buttons to break in because they are a little stiff.
I had/have on my s7. I also have the back and front protection. My s7 is still in perfect condition. it's taken a few normal drops and handled them with ease. I pre-ordered for my s8. I totally trust it and love the minimalist look with awesome protection. I even put one on my daughter's iphone 7. Flawless performance. I do change up cases occasionally, but always come back to my Rhinoshield band.
Am more interested in the screen protector from Rhino, and wondering if any tried it.. They were the only company that made full adhesive screen protector (glass) for pixel xl.. So wondering how will this end up to be.. No mention in the website if the screen protector is full adhesive or not.. I guess i will have to wait and see when i receive it..
My only issue with the rhinoshield bumpers in the past is that it adds too much extra width (it has to I guess to provide the protection it does).
Too much extra width? It's like a a mm or 2. I loved it on my s7. Survived some nasty drops. I don't know about this one with the more curved edges though. I got a spigen neo hybrid.
Really liked it on my Nexus 6! Was bummed they didn't make it for my Nexus 6P...
I ordered mine last week, it has been shipped today.
I also ordered a back black mate skin from dBrand.
I will post some pictures once everything arrive.
after reading this thread i went looking for vids... found one for the S6... amusing and durable...so i ordered for the s8.

Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.
I just receive my aramid case for S22 Plus. Bought on AliExpress, delivered to France in 10 days (I'm still waiting for the one ordered to Latercase many weeks ago...)
This case is very well build and add minimum bulk to the S22 Plus. The cost is less expensive than the Latercase : only 21,49€ vs $55 (50,41€) with shiping on Latercase
I received today the Latercase aramid case for S22+. I'm very disappointed. This case has no top and bottom protection and the side buttons are not protected. This case is more than twice the price of the Aliexpress one tested before with less protection.
This case is as thin as the Aliexpress one. The weight is 11g compared to the 13g of the Aliexpress one.
If you're looking for an aramid case, the Aliexpress is the right choice (better protection and price, same quality)
Can you link to the Aliexpress seller?, there seem to few cases and some looks as of lesser quality
SYIJIAFA Store on Aliexpress
The Aliexpress case looks much better than the youtuber version. I personally like first party accessories. I got the green silicon case just cuz the green leather has never been available
Those look nice, I always go for thicker cases for drop protection though..
I like this protector but it is plastic so the side frames will scratch from it so I prefer something smooth and scratch-proof!

Yes, the skin has a rough surface so it gives a good grip for the phone to hold. Also, these skins are 3M vinyl material so it is thick and protective too!

Thanks for the info I'm gonna order now for my S22 Plus and hope the skins are delivered soon!
I use only matte ppf ptotective film, full frame. It looks 99% as the bare phone. Added no thinkness, and no more slipperiness. Also protects the frame from simple scratchess.
Of course it adds no real protection from dropping. However, it's not my concern as I didn't drop my previous phone in two years after using the same type of ppf full frame sticker - before that I dropped two times as the glass was too slippery.
