I could not find any reviews of this bumper. I was interested in getting it but I wanted to see if anyone had thoughts about it first.

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/For-...on-Aluminum-Frame-For-Galaxy/32625294136.html
Not for the S7, but I owned one for my Note5 up until last week, and man was it pretty. I got the Gold bumper to go with my White Note5. I also got a leather skin from DBrand and that phone was so pretty. It was nice quality, and I thought it was worth the cost. I purchased it from a stateside seller from Ebay who imported them from China for half the cost of casefanatic.com. The one thing I will caution is that only the very inside of the Luphie case is protected by a small line of foam, not the inside of the sides (if that makes sense). This means that the actual metal bumper of the phone itself will get scratched, metal on metal, leaving small lines all around the phone bumper. Also, my signal was affected just a little. I suppose that's due to the aluminum covering the antennas.
I don't know that I would buy it again, honestly. It did look very nice for sure. But, I think it takes away from the actual day-to-day function of the phone. I hope this helps!
actually, the brand of that bumper is Ginmic, not Luphie. These are 2 factories, design is the same but different logo.
here is the Luphie one. http://www.ipromarket.com/luphie-ra...er-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-g9350.html
Quite expensive but damn, so pretty!
I own a silver aluminium Luphie bumper with the black leather backing for my s7. So far I'm pretty happy with it and it's not given me any hassles as of yet. One thing I was surprised by was the fact that the leather backing was not attached to the aluminium frame and was rather a sticky piece of leather that attaches to the rear glass of the phone. Not what I was initially after but it's been alright so far and it's very adhesive so that's good.
Very difficult to line up the leather backing when you first stick it on so take your time and start from the camera side heading down the phone. The backing makes the phone very grippy on surfaces so it's much safer to leave it on tables and stuff but the aluminium sides are a bit slippery and of course the phone feels slightly heavier. It does look aesthetically pleasing though and I can't fault the built in buttons on the Luphie bumper because they are excellent and haven't hampered the phone in any way.
I ordered them off eBay from a Chinese distributor and with post and packaging they came to $12 each.
Any other questions just ask and I will be happy to help..

How was the signal reception? Has it dropped a bit due to the aluminum?

The signal reception seemed to stay normal. However the GPS was affected and would drop out every now and then when using google maps, waze etc.

When GPS becomes glitchy, what quick fix do you usually do? Has it all been patience or have you discovered any workarounds aside removing the bumper? I could imagine having to switch cases when travelling I would be using a clear bumper case, all else I'd be using Luphie. Just ordered mjne for OnePlus 5t though.
When I realised that it was the case doing it, I was a bit bummed. Eventually I stopped using the case because it was not really simple to remove it each time. The screws make this a slightly more difficult task to do when you need it done on a regular basus. It's a real pity because it's an amazing looking case and I loved the protection it gave. I'm now using an abs plastic/slicon one instead, made by VRS design. No issues with GPS with this one and does the job of protecting everything well enough.

That eventually would happen to me as well I guess. Still holding off order cancellation though haha! I ordered from Aliexpress and the seller has not shipped the product yet. I'm tempted to cancel but there is really no option of enjoying the feel of a skinned phone and a bumper since RhinoShield is too bulky for me I think and they have not released one for the OnePlus 5t yet.

I have been looking for a review on this. I have tried various cases on my L920 and while most of them are pretty good I was wondering if this one from Nokia would be actually better than say the Case Mate case which is my current fav. Looks like this offers more protection and with my Zagg screen protector I should hopefully have no dramas.
I've never used any other case. but this one is fantastic. perfect size/fit, and very slim. after a few says of use I don't notice the extra thickness at all. it's pretty much perfect I don't know how other cases could be better.
It hasn't been mentioned -- but does this case provide better "grip" than the phone? Before I got the case that I am using, I dropped the phone because is slipped out my hand ... the one that I am using has bumps along the side so that it provides a really good grip to the phone when I pull it out of the holster ...
But the case that I am using -- while it works, has a funky small strip on the bottom that does not lie flat. However, the grip is the main reason that I use the case -- and I have heard good thing about the fit of the Nokia case ...
So, can you comment on the Nokia case and its grip as compared to the phone?

I find the grip to be some better.. not too much difference. my phone too slipped out of my hands with out a case a few times, but so far (12 days) it hasn't happened with the case yet.
just let you all know, make sure there's no dust particles between the case and phone when you put the case on, the sand will scratch the back of the phone over time and little "spots" will be left.

I've just gotten mine (even tho the phone isn't even here yet lol). It feels good but it's definitely more slippery than the OEM case for the 800, still a good deal anyway IMHO.
Do take care of dust particles though, especially is you have a matte finish L920. I got my L920 scratched badly by this case. I am still not sure it was actually caused by dust particles but that is the popular believe.
Here is my post on wpcentral. If you read though till the end, I also found a solution from keeping the phone in good shape.

Yes the spots on the matte phone is caused by dust between phone and case, here's an explanation:

A guy at work had the case, and I decided to get it ... better fitting than the TPC case I was using, but it was too slippery ... tried some egrips on the sides, but they did not stay on the curves on the case ...
I thought about it, and put a series of grooves along the edges (cut with a band saw) and these have helped a lot! The cuts are about 1/4 mm deep, and spaces about 1 - 1.5 mm apart. The grooves are about 1 mm wide (the width of the blade cut).
Just another way to have both the fit of the CC-1043 with the grip that I wanted ...
took the gray one for my lumia. to prevent me removing the case every now and then so there won't be any particles, i placed on a wet install protector from gadgetshieldz. seems to do its work. love the gray color.
Two issues, don't know if anyone has had this: one is discolouration around the edges from use, and the second is that the cutouts for the flash and camera/backplate aren't 100%. Now, as a disclaimer, I purchased from a supposedly reputable eBay seller, so while I believe my case is genuine, there IS a chance it is not.
Just ordered it tonight and will post pictures when I finally get it. That was my favorite case, with the standard battery, for my s4 when I had it. Slim, rubber inside, hard shell outside, rubber ribs for grip and anti slide on the back. It never interfered with a tempered glass screen protector, as long as you installed it perfectly centered in accordance with the edges of the frame, not the home button. It's on sale, this weekend, and I'm guessing until cyber Monday, for five dollars off and free shipping via USPS. http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/candyshell-grip-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Nice find. I like Speck. They make quality stuff.

Never used a speck case before I like the design ..how does it. Compare to a uag or otterbox commuter in terms of size/protection?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
It's similar to a UAG in terms of protection. One layer silicone inside lining, attached to the plastic exterior.
Different then a commuter with a wrap around silicone lining with a separate exterior hard lining
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
It's smaller than the commuter. When you install or remove it, the case is all one piece. The layers don't come off. Easy to put on or take off. Shouldn't need reaming mod for most headphones. Won't slide when placed on a surface back down. Good amount of lip protecting the screen and camera. The rubber layer is slightly harder density than rubber on otterbox.
Def glad to see it out for the Note3. I plan on ordering this when 12am hits for cyber monday from the Speck website. Just wish they had the white and black version like they usually do.
I had a Speck candyshell (non-grip) for the iPhone 5s and loved it. It was hot pink and white but it was only $5. Not digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid because its way to slippery for a phone this big. The issue I see here is that it's $40.
Edit: Speck has a holiday deal knocking the price down to $35.
Edit 2: The case is now $30 after 25% off.
I love my tech 21 for my note 3, but would be interested in the Speck. I like the candyshell over the Candyshell grip though
Looks like black is out of stock.

Glad I ordered mine before making this post. Hopefully I'll get it before Friday. I'll post pics when I get it. Lots of close ups so you all can see the details.
Previous reply was rejected. I'm not going to type out all that again. My pictures and a video turned out crappy and out of focus. Long story short. This case protects better than just tpu but less than otterbox defender. It's slender and fits snug. The same quality you can expect if you've ever owned a speck case before. Grip ribs help with sliding but won't make it an effort to get out of a pocket like a glossy tpu or silicone case. Quality of build and function I give it five out of five. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. This case will definitely be my daily driver!

Tight fit!
They are better at excluding dust than any other case in my experience. If they used a plug to cover the USB/earphone jack openings they would be better than anything else out there for this kind of protection.
That's a good thing too as being harder to put on and take off means intrusive dust could potentially grind on the finish, etc.
Bad news for battery swappers though.
Protection is good, you can literally toss it at a brick wall repeatedly and not worry about damage or even the case coming off in between throws. The grip is also far better at not showing wear/scratches from sitting on tables, etc. like the normal version. The high gloss back of the normal version will reveal marring/scuffing of sitting on tables, countertops, etc. in relatively short order.
Bulk-wise they fall in between a minimalistic TPU (Diztronic, Bounce, Tudia, etc.) and UAG with protection on par with UAG.
Its asking price is fair for the quality received.
Just got mine today and fitment, quality, etc. is identical to past Speck products.
The buttons are covered, retain their clicky tactile feel and are no more difficult to depress than the naked phone! Fit is very snug, have not tried to take it off. It feels identical in hand to the candyshell grip that I use on my HTC one. It adds very little thickness, very similar to a TPU with far better drop protection. Even with a TPU I cringe if the phone slips, no worries here. Cutouts are well aligned and very tight. The S-pen cutout is quite tight requiring a fingernail to pull it out.
The camera is recessed sufficiently to prevent issues with setting down/dropping back first on a hard surface. The overall feel is it's well thought out and does not look thrown together like some other cases that were rushed to production. Worth the $$$ and I got another five bucks off ($30 total) by using a CNET coupon code. I always Google for codes when I see it on a website at checkout. Not sure if it's still valid and the black grip is OOS now...
Amazon doesn't even have this case (yet) and to get it for $10 off is a no-brainer!
Its a nice case i love the way the button, might have the best feedback but this case is worthless, within a few hours scratches will start to form and by the 2nd week you already want to replace because of the scratches. The darker the case the faster the scrtches will appear
I didn't notice scratches with my s4 and I had the case for months. Even so, it's better for the case to get scratches than the phone.

then you must carry it in a cloth because everyone knows specks cases scratch within like 1 day like they've been in a warzone. they are great cases but they don't keep the look.
$40 for that? Ouch. Looks like it should be $19.99 to me.
Yeah I keep mine in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket.
I never liked the Speck Candyshells. They scratch up like it's no one's business. They do look real good when you take it out of the package though.
Best thing is that they will replace their cases without any questions asked

I couldn't find much information on this case, so I went ahead and bought one. It was only $6.99 on Amazon so if I hated it I wouldn't be out much money. Please excuse the quality of the pictures. They were taken with my Note 3....
Here's a link to the case on Amazon if you want one:
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...1442870153&sr=8-3&keywords=GMYLE+nexus+6+case
PLEASE NOTE:
I am NOT affiliated with GMYLE at all!!! I'm just trying to post some useful info for my fellow Nexus 6 owners that may be on the fence about this case.
First impressions:
The packaging was pretty uninspiring. It was in a cheap plastic bag with some GMYLE branding. Upon removal it felt very cheap and low quality, but what do you expect for $7? The piece that holds the phone felt pretty thin and flimsy and I was worried about cracking it when inserting my phone. After getting my phone in safely, I realized how much bulk this added to the phone. It feels twice as big and requires two hands to use safely. The cutouts in the case lined up properly for the buttons, headphone jack, microphone, USB port, etc.
Looks:
This case looks classy as hell. The world map design looks a lot cooler and than the plain brown design in my opinion.
Features:
The ID, credit card, and money slots are very handy, but after transferring the contents of my wallet (ID, three cards, and a five dollar bill) the case was about twice as thick as before and barely fit in my pocket. I watch a lot of movies on my phone so the stand feature is very handy.
Phone protection:
This case feels like it'll protect my phone from short drops onto carpet or the rubber floor at the gym. For drops onto concrete, hardwood, or tile I don't think it'l perform as well as my Ringke Max and may result in a cracked screen or dents/scratches.
Complaints:
There was a glue like substance on the "spine" of the case that wouldn't come off. Rubbing on it just discolored the fake leather and didn't phase the glue at all. The plastic bit that holds my phone feels very thin and like it will break if I try to remove my phone. If I use the flash while taking a picture it "bounces" off of the cutout in the case and causes a blur around the edges of the picture.
Conclusion:
This is a VERY nice wallet case for the money. It even comes with a one year warranty! I've only had it for a few days, but I like it a lot so far. I'll update this thread when/if this case falls apart. If you have any questions post them and I'll do my best to answer them.
Pictures:
The % of people that gave it a 3 or less is 43%. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
For those with $45 to spend on a wallet case, here's the real deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/genuine-rea...ury-premium-/381110007692?hash=item58bbed378c

This is by no means a long term or high quality case, so the low ratings are understandable. I bought it just because the world map design looks boss and the stand feature is handy for watching movies.
To be honest I'm thinking about ditching this case. The flap is annoying, it barely fits in my pocket, and I have to remove my phone from the case if I want to take a picture with the flash.
The map pattern looks good for the low price, is it heavy? I don't want to add too much weight to the phone

I have no idea of the exact weight, but it's definitely not light. It adds a noticeable amount of weight to the phone.
I got this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00STQD9PU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
While I like the idea of having everything in one piece, it does add a significant amount of heft and weight to it, especially since it's a bi-fold wallet. I still use it occasionally.
I had the GMYLE case for a few weeks (plain brown, before worldmap was released), and I loved it. Combining the phone with wallet was pretty awesome. My main gripe with the case was that over time, small parts of the phone case part (plastic) would chip off, eventually to the point where the case would no longer hold my phone. Before this, I had the Spigen wallet case, which wasn't bad, just the magnet strap thing was getting a lot of wear (always hitting my pocket on the way in).
Now I am using the Vena that jbr05ki posted. I like it a lot. The magnet seems more durable than the Spigen one, and the tri-fold design is nice to have. Overall, I would prefer the GMYLE due to the strapless design, if only the phone case part of it was made of TPU.
*EDIT* Also, forgot to mention that I have had two glass screen protectors, and using the wallet cases seemed to crack both of them...not sure why though, since I put the phone in my front pocket and not my back...

I wanted a REALLY slim wallet case, so I went for the Nilkin sparkle black on Amazon. At $15 USD, it was cheaper than the $40 leather alternative that caught my eye...

A cautionary tale for those who have or are looking at the Tetded/TETDED slim leather case on eBay or elsewhere. I have had this case for about a month and it has been great - snug, nice leather and best of all a nice slim fit, similar to the Apple leather case for the iPhone. Today I took the case off to kind of just take a look at the phone and wipe away any schmutz and much to my chagrin, noticed some wear marks on the glass (top of the phone). While faint and kind of hard to notice due to the glass being shiny, it has wear marks nonetheless. I sent a message to the seller on eBay who asked for pictures of the wear, which will be tricky to take, like I said, because they are both faint and the glass is shiny.
I like the case a lot and would easily recommend it to someone looking for this style of case, but after noticing this...I don't think a case should leave marks on your phone.
I have a full skin on my pixel. Front and back. Do you think there is enough give in the case to fit over a skin?

Could you shield the glass with some carefully-cut-out plastic kitchen wrap before putting it in the case? (There's probably a better kind of plastic film to use, but that's the first one that came to mind.)

Thanks for the warning. I've been eyeing this case. Guess I should stop.
I had an orange version of this case, cleaned it with leather cleaner and the dye came off! I love a nice premium leather case, but this isn't it in my book.
Just sad we cannot get a high quality slim leather case, that isn't a wallet or folds out into a stupid origami swan or something. If the Pixel is selling as well as we are led to believe, I am surprised more folks aren't making them.

More likely is that leather cases are not very popular now and they take a lot more production to make compared to a molded case. Less demand, more production costs means less availability.
I have the exact same case, and have had mine on for about a month as well, maybe slightly longer.
Just checked the back of mine and it's fine - totally scratch free and perfect under the case. I can't see how this case would damage the back of the phone as it's backed with a thin layer of foam.
Maybe some crud got stuck in between the case and the back?
Disclaimer : I do not benefit in any way for saying anything good or bad about these products. I am giving you guys my honest opinion on these cases to help provide some assistance on buying a case.
Let’s start with the first case I bought from them.
Orzly Flexicase (Clear)
Link to the case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072MZCQB6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_v8mFzb704M66R
Price :£12.99
Things I like: Simple case, adds much need grip to the OnePlus5. Doesn't detract from the overall phones aesthetic or feel. , Good lip around the camera bump and the front.
Things of concern: It's a simple case, it's mainly there to prevent scratches. Not going to protect your phone from anything major
Comments: I really like this case, there is a craft to a making something simple and effective and this is it. No fancy features it just protects your phone from scratches, adds grip and protects from small drops. It doesn't over stay it's welcome and I congratulate on that.
I was happy with my purchase at the price I paid but since it has gone down. I think anyone wanting a simple case you can't really go wrong with this.
Also like to note, I haven't had problems with any holes in the case. Some people on other forums have asked me about the quality of the finish. No evident problems with the finish of my case.

Orzly Wallet Case (Black)
Link to the case : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072QV1VRT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_qInFzbCVEWP0X
Price: £14.99
Things I like: Protects the screen while it’s closed, Magnet keeps the wallet closed well, Effective card slots and pocket slot, Effective stand, I like the case that holds the phone in the wallet, not too bulky.
Things of concern: It’s a wallet case, people either love them or hate them.
Comments: I had this case for my HTC 10 and they have improved this case immensely. Now having three card slots instead of two allows me to take my bank card, ID and my public transport card without having to double up in the slots (That can create further issues). The main issue with last years was the case that held the phone in place. Last year was a hard shell, now throughout my time working with phones, more than half of wallet cases I have seen have broken inner shells because they use a hard shell inside. This year they have basically taken the great Flexicase design and used it as the holder for the wallet case. That was a great move and make the wallet case great.
For a wallet case, this is a solid wallet case. You can’t really go wrong with it.

Orzly Slim Stand Case
Link to the case : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073S7BWQQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Price:£12.99
Things I like: THIS THING IS SLIM, the case itself may be the lowest profile case I have used on the OnePlus5, The stand can withstand a lot, stand can be rotated in different ways.
Things of concern: This case may not work with some in-car phone holders, the stand bulges out and made it hard for my vent holder to hold it.
Comments: I picked up this case because I was intrigued. I didn’t think I would like it but I really did! The case has a really nice soft touch finish and provides protection for the camera bump which is surprising as the case is really low profile , it provides a very small lip on the front so it may or may not protect the phone from if you put your phone screen down. The case doesn’t really take much away from the buttons which is nice.
The ring stand is really handy, A couple of times I’ve used it. I do find myself playing with the ring stand itself and hanging my phone off my finger, the case fits very well I can trust that my phone will stay there hanging. The stand really is quite strong. I can put a lot of force on the stand and it didn’t feel like it would break, (I have posted a video demoing that) The things I would say is that I would like the stand to have different standing points, it would be nice to have the phone to stand at different angles, while this isn’t a major thing, I thought I’d point it out.
I really like this case, nuff said.

Orzly Fusion Case
Link to the case : https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B072MPYX9Y/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Price: £9.99
Things I like: Not bulky, feels like it would protect the case.
Things of concern: Can’t think of anything…
Comments: This is the case I have on my OnePlus5, I really like it. It’s like the FlexiCase but better. This honestly feels like this case has been designed by someone who’s wanting a make a case for themselves. There is extra grip points around parts of the case which your hand is in contact with. That’s a smart move. There is some little feet on the back around the clear back, this is a expert level move from Orzly, clear plastic scratches easily by doing this the plastic clear back from the ground. The clear back is quite hard and seems like it could withstand a drop, this is the motto of this case: it’s solid.

Comments About Orzly
One thing I have noticed is Orzly has revamped their packaging. It’s more like you would see in a shop and has nice little touches to them. Having a little tab to pull to open the box and having nice information (To read on the toilet obviously) adds to the over. Here is some photos : http://imgur.com/a/vZ4eu
Please ask any questions and if this helped someone, if you liked it I may do more.
Thanks so much for this. I agree with the flexicase and slim case, both have been great for me and I have already used the stand on the slim case for a train journey. Worked out great. I am looking forward to receiving my fusion bumper case from the reviews both you and niijonodhg have been giving!
Thanks for your review. Can't decide between slim stand and fusion case. I don't like a lot of bulk as the phone itself isn't the smallest one and I like to keep the look of it. Generally I'm very very careful with my phones but
Unfortunately I already cracked my screen (first time ever). Currently in repair.

Ouch hopefully you get it back soon! As for the slim case, it has virtually no screen protection but the stand is very useful and it is also a grippy case. You can put your finger in the ring part while your using it to help you stop dropping it.
I've made your decision even harder

If it helps, my favourite case so far has been the Fusion!

Yes you do make it harder ?. I never used cases mainly for protection but more for the extra grip but dropping my OP5 makes me reconsider this. But when I dropped it I didn't have any case installed so it was pretty slippy. Maybe I try both cases as they are not that expensive .

Getting both of them might be a good option. My favorite is the fusion but the slim case is really good. The slim case adds grip to the phone without much bulk or extraprotection where as the fusion is really grippy as well as adding more protection.

Yeah the stand feature for me is a must. Personally I prefer the Wallet Case version, as it's got that extra bit of screen protection with the fordable lid. But they're all nice in different ways.

Any stand is nice really, what I like about the slim stand case though is that you can put your finger in the ring and it will mean your phone cant drop, very useful actually
Just received my Orzly Fusion today and have to say: that thing is amazing! Adds minimal bulk but seems to be good protection. And the best thing is that it adds so much grip to the phone and makes it really comfortable to use.

I also received mine today and I completely agree with everything.
I had the Ringke case on my Nexus 6P, which had the same type of back plastic and I know for a fact it does not yellow over time.
I also have a dBrand skin on my phone, and the case fit perfectly over it with no hassle at all. Dragon Skin with Orange Logo and Camera Cutout.
I also have the Orzly Tempered glass installed and the case fits perfectly around the glass as it should... Since it's from the same company.

Looks really good with that dbrand skin! Glad to know you had the same sort of material that didn't yellow
