S6 case on S7 - It works! - Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories

I just bought my S7 today, and since I was playing anyway, I tried my Buddibox case from my S6 on it
Perfect fit!
I don't yet have a picture, as my phone is my camera, and I am not betting all cases will work this way. But, before you toss your old S6 case you have come to love, why not try it on?

I have a feeling hard cases wont fit due to the thickness difference, but im gonna order my fav quicksand case from the s6 and see if it fits.

Bottom mic has been moved as well so your S6 case is going to cover it muffling your voice for anyone you talk to.

S6 is on the right in this picture, notice the placement of the mic hole:

Looks like the top mic hole is moved a bit too...

I knew it had to be too good...

How much did it move? If you have an S6 case try it out and report back

Leather case/pouch

Hello Everyone,
Has anyone come across a Leather case/pouch big enough for the Amaze that will hold a TPU case and the phone? I have a TPU case but want the TPU to fit in the leather case like my old phone did. I have a case of the dropsies and would rather not keep it in my pocket.
D
Looking for the same here.
Leather Case/Holster
Try here maybe?
http://www.daydeal.com/home.php?cat=6230
I haven't actually bought anything from here yet.
Just tried to search up some things for you.
Hope this helps.
I have been looking other sites also. My guesstimation is that with the TPU case on the phone measures 132mm x 70mm x 18mm.
I am digging through that site now.
Thanks,
D
I bought this one, it is a carry over from my HD2. It is a bit large for the Amaze, but I use the inner pocket for two spare batteries. With my Diztronic case, the phone fits quite well.
EDIT: I suppose a URL would be nice. D'oh!

Hey stevedebi would you mind posting up a picture of this holster that you got, front and back?
I'm trying to see about the clip and/or belt loops.
The amazon link doesn't show the back of the holster.
I don't like wearing it the clip since I have a tendency to break them.
Belt loops work so much better for me.
If could post pictures that would be awesome. Thanks!

Take a look at the URL from the company site. It has lots of views. Actually, I ONLY use belt loop, and this one is great - you slip the clip over the belt and it never comes off. I was hesitant at first, but it is great.
I do use a wider belt, about 1.5 inch; I've never used it with a narrow belt.
http://www.niteize.com/collections/rugged-phone-cases/products/clip-case-sideways
EDIT: I use the largest one.
I found one that fits perfectly with the tpu case on. I got it with 3 other accessories as well. here's a link
well couldn't post the link due to not having 8 posts yet but i'll still put some pics on I hope lol.
The data cable works but you actually lose charge while its plugged in, the pouch is the best part of it and it came with a clip and 2 belt loops on the back for a belt I have the smoky TPU case for the amaze 4g. This is labeled for the ATT infuse 4g. I'll post some pictures of it here in a bit. Hopefully you can get it separate without the crappy extras.

Hmm I wonder if that will fit the Amaze with a d3o case on it.
HMM....
Looks nice though with the tpu case on it.
Fits with no problems at all? Slides in and out easily?
That case doesn't look anything like the one in the amazon link though.
it was a little snug at first but now it slides in and out easily no problems at all with it. just had to break it in I think.
Premium Executive Horizontal Leather
I think I'm just gonna shell out 4.57 (with shipping) and order this one and see how it goes.
See if it'll fit the phone with a d3o case on it.
If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.
Might even be able to sell it back on Craigslist.

Thanks All,
I finally received the Luxmo brown case from Amazon. It was 5.54 and free shipping. Other then the Velcro that I can live with the case is fine for the Amaze and TPU case on it. It is about 3mm too wide but the other dimensions are fine.

Glad I could help. And on an extra note I was able to use headphones with the phone in the holster.
All I had to do was push the phone up a little from the bottom until the jack appeared.
This may only work with d3o cases because they add so much bulk.
Another thinner case and the phone might slide down to the bottom regardless.

Update to my zagg review; DO NOT BUY INVISIBLE SHIELD! The back protector just peeled up and got a bunch of dirt under the edge just because I stuck it in a leather phone case that was a little snug! Absolute junk! The adhesive they use is worthless! Maybe it is just bad luck, but I doubt it since it has peeled on the front AND back! I am going to rip this junk off and reinstall some awesome xtreme guard for a 10th the price of overated zagg crap!

I bought a ZAGG too, thought it was a case! Crap.
Check out www.rearthusa.com. They have a case for the Galaxy Player
Nintendo Cases for the 5.0!
Hi Folks! I bought my SGP5.0 back in January and still learning my way around it. Its a neat lil gadget and a good choice over the 7+ I was looking to get. Discovered it at the last minute as Best Buy was selling it as an MP3 player!
While at BB, I too wanted a case to keep it in and scoured the store for something that would apply. They had this Nintendo case which works great!
POWER A Pokemon Zip Case for Nintendo DS Lite
Inside it has 2 elastic bands to keep the game secure. For the 5.0, I cut out the upper band as it's not necessary, as the 5.0 will fit rather snuggly in the case. For me to get it out, I just push from the bottom and it pops out. Thats how snug it is! The other half of the case easily holds up to 2 styli and 3 memory cards.
The down side is it does not have a belt clip, but for day to day it does the trick and the case will protect your 5.0! And it's 10 bucks!
If you need a case to carry everything, then go to Walmart for this slightly larger case:
POWER A 3DS Mini Transporter Case Blue 3DS Nintendo DS Dsi
The front compartment has a nice pocket to hold your 5.0 with a velcro strap, and styli. The back half can hold 12 memory cards, or if you don't need that many, there's room for your usb cord and ac adapter. This case has a handle that you can loop your belt through to keep it at your side. At the store it was in black as well as blue, and cost $15.
I hope all this helps. I too checked online, but did want to spend a lot of money on a case or wait for Samsung to make one.
Steve
BTW, try one of those small picture frame stands to hold your 5.0 landscape style for watching videos/movies! You'll have to add those little rubber cushions to keep it from sliding, and you may have to shape the stand to better hold the 50, but it works and can be carried easily as it folds.
I have a Riot Outfitters case.Bought from Best Buy. I like the feel of it, and come with a handy kickstand. Though, it did brush of SOME paint in about 3 months. Still, i would like to see a clear case for the SGP5.0 to see that SEXY back.
Just received my Rearth case with screen protector and now I feel comfortable taking my Galaxy Player everywhere I go. It also looks sexy.
I'll post some photos of my Galaxy Player when I get home.

Yea I bought one of those cases for my US player as well back when they first came out. The thing is, there is a small hole on the bottom for an HDMI port which leads me to believe the case is meant for the Korean player. I also noticed that the case is a bit too long because it does not fit over the front speaker all the way. Although I visited their page recently and noticed that it's been fixed, so I may consider repurchasing.
Rearth Ringke SLIM on SGP5.0 or YP-G70
My Samsung Galaxy Player (US version) fits very well in this case. A few of the first batches were shrunken, but now they have solved the problem. It fits snugly and protects it nicely. There are cutouts for the international version for the antenna and the sim card placement (?). Even with the cutouts, it has protected my device from many drops and falls. It's a good millimeter thick beyond the camera and speakers. It's on Amazon right now for about $16 US.

Will S6 case fit on S7?

The bodies look so similar. I'm wondering if my S6 cases will fit on the S7? Or if anyone has purchased an S7 case that fits on an S6 would be nice to hear as well. I own several cases for my S6 that are headed for the trash can if they don't fit.
i am curious as well. i am in the same situation.
I don't think cases will fit because the dimensions are slightly different (+ there are edges on the back).
The S7 is about 1 mm thicker, but also 1mm less in height and width.
I am wondering whether pouches would still be good for it though since they probably can adapt if the space the phone takes as a whole is the same.

thanks for the feedback!
No, the cases wont fit them as the dimensions are different. Try a custom leather case from Story Leather, theyre custom made leather cases
I would think not especially because of the camera being different.
Just to update. I received my Galaxy S7 yesterday and S6 cases are not compatible. The speaker, microphone, and headphone jack are in different locations. Along with the phone itself being slightly thicker than the S6. Nice phone though!
i have a mophie and mine fits but the camera is right on the cut out point . phone charges and everything ..ill post pics soon
It really depends on the case. I just got s7 and I had s6 previously - some of the cases fit with no problem.

Seriously, they are not the same. The dimension of the S7 case is 9 x 5 x 0.4 inches. S6's dimension is 6.8 x 3.5 x 0.8 inches.
But i think they could be mounted forcibly. S6 and S7 have the same location of earphone slot, the usb slot and the camera lens.

I don't know how you're going to forcibly fit a 9" tall s7 into a 6.8" tall s6's case, but good luck!
it almost fit ,but the buttons are a little bit mismatch
so you need to make a decision tho

Haha. I know i will get a humour reply like this. Actually i checked the dimension on Amazon and i found it different in different listings. Some say it's 6.8 x 5 x 0.4, some say it's 8 x 5 x 0.4.
Anyway S6 and S7 have almost the same dimension so i put a 'forcibly' barely in my last reply.
I have an s6 hard case on order, it'll probably need some trimming with a knife, i'll update when i get it.

Hi, may we see the pic of it ? Thanks.
I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my S6 and it 'fit' on the S7. I say 'fit' because it mostly worked. But the camera area wasn't right and the side buttons were just slightly off. I only used it because they hadn't come out with their S7 model yet. I've since made the switch.
I'll take your s6 cases. Hook me [email protected]
I just upgraded to an S7 and the only S6 case I was able to use is the one that Samsung sold for the S6 that basically just clips around the four corners. I like that one because it leaves the sides clear without any lip to get in the way. The others wouldn't fit due to the slightly different shape and the ports are not lined up. My clip case doesn't line up perfect either but it works for now. Meh.
Nothing that a sharp xacto knife can't help you achieve. Did that with two different cases and they both work. Ghetto but they work. The power button doesn't hit full on, but if you're able to do it sideways it works fine. Good enough until you find a case that you fall in love, if not keep doing it sideways...

For those who can't get a protection case in time

Just got my OP5 and cases are not available yet.
I don't any risk of damaging my brand new phone so i compared the dimensions with other phones.
The Huawei P10 Plus has similar dimensions so i'll pick up a softcase today and see if i can modify it a bit (button and camera hole cut) and see if it wil fit for a couple of weeks.
As a temporary fix since I didn't get a case either (sold out) as I was transferring Sims from my OP3 and noticed just how similar the phones are in size even if the screen is a little larger on the 5. So I put the Spigen case for my 3 on the 5, obviously the camera cutouts are wrong, but that could be easily fixed with an xacto knife.
TL;DR I put my OP3 case on my 5 until I can get a proper case for it.
@Jowhee - How about buttons? Do they fit?
Yes, I ended up using scissors to cut (hack) out an opening for the cameras and flash, I also widened the speaker port in the bottom a little. Headphone jack and USB are fine, they even work with my dock.

thanks for the info. based off your recommendation I went ahead and ordered a ringke fusion case that will get here monday. Ill modify it and use it until we get some good cases for the op5 itself.
I just took some of my Orzly OnePlus 3 cases from last year, and make a camera cut out while I wait for my actual oneplus 5 cases to arrive! Was hard work and the cases were tough to cut but totally worth it!
http://imgur.com/a/qcp4p
http://imgur.com/a/B0iud
I have extra op3 case that fits perfect. Just can't use camera until New case comes. Im fine for time being. I feel much better using it with a case. Had note 3 fell out of my basketball shorts and cracked the screen. Would have been avoided with a case.
How about the oppo R11 case. Saw from. Gizmo China that it will fit on op5, considering both phones are identical with the casing. Just need to figure out how to make a small hole for the notification slider. The bumper case from Oneplus is a bit pricey, I would rather use the fund to get an extra dash charger to put it in my office.
oneplus 3 case fits just fine. just cut a hole for the camera lol
Guess I was lucky with my order, arrived yesterday
Luckly enough in alot of places you can get quailty cases from companies like Orzly within a few days
Man, still using a ringke case for the 3. I ordered one from China, one from what I thought was in Cali but turns out a drop shipper from China, and the orzly case off amazon which ships from England, all on the same day I ordered the phone.
Sucks to be in the states sometimes lol.
I ordered a clear silicone case from Amazon from KP technology. Purchased on 27th and receive 29th. £2.99 worth buying just to protect your phone for the time being.
Just buy an Oppo R11 case, it's basically the same phone, the camera is mounted in the exact same place.
e.g. :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nillkin-Super-Frosted-Shield-Hard-Case-Cover-for-OPPO-R11-/172744557507

Just a note on this. The Oppo r11 cases fit but it's not perfect. There is overlap with the power button, and volume keys. The case doesn't go high enough to cover the whole button. On the bottom, the headphone jack is covered up by like 1mm but you can cut it. The mic hole is off too. It works though.

S8 Active back cover replacement

Well my supposedly break free Active camera cover got shattered. Have no idea how. So I need a replacement back if that is possible. Did some searching but nothing comes up, besides a couple used eBay backs. Any place for OEM parts? Finding parts for the regular Galaxy s8 but not the active.
Thanks!
You can replace just the glass. I ordered mine on Amazon, and it installed great. I haven't found any back covers though....
Do you have a link to the Amazon Page?
These are what I bought..
https://www.amazon.com/Bonafide-Hardware-Galaxy-Camera-replacement/dp/B0728CVNN4
Be careful of a few things when installing...
- the glass is not a square, so one side actually longer then the other, so don't force it in
- you may need to send it into Samsung for a free repair. May camera zoom was jacked up after mine broke. Replacement was free, however
- order some extras. I bought 2, and really should have ordered a few extras, just to be safe. Lucklly, the 2nd one worked well.
---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 AM ----------
It looks like that product is out of stock... There are many like it... FYI, the glass for the s8 and S8 active is the same, so any s8 glass will work. Amazon has a bunch of them, and some even come with tools and such...
Good luck!
