I have been on my Note 4 for a while. I was waiting to get the Note 7 as I need a bigger screen. With all the Note 7 issues.... looks like it will be a long wait.
I am trying to decide if I should just jump to the 7 edge or wait.
I need a hard case that allows wireless recharge, and tempered glass. I have been reading every where and it looks like this may be what keeps me in my note 4.
I need a larger screen so the regular s7 is too small.
I don't use the stylus very much so that is not an issue.
I read big sticky thread and seems a tempered glass that covers the whole phone is VERY much expensive AND it appears I cant use a hard case.
Any help would be nice. What case works with a reasonably priced tempered glass that covers the whole screen. If I have to give up wireless charging I will.
Thanks.
I can only speak for the vanilla S7 (as this is an S7 forum) but I use the Nillkin hard textured case. I've literally tried about 20 before I settled on it. It allows fitment of the Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass screen protector (with about 1/2mm clearance) and also allows wireless charging. The case is also very minimal and discrete but gives good coverage and protection and adds superb grip in the hand. I won't be buying another case until the phone's sold.

Got sick of trying tempered glass that just wouldn't fit. Thus far I've tried two with two more on the way.
In the mean time, went to try the armor suit full screen. I don't particularly like this type of skin protector but for the time being it'll do.
Pretty much the same thing as Zagg, Skinomi, etc
Made a video of the install HERE
Super easy install and edge to edge protection
Had the same idea as you. Also using the armorsuit while waiting for my tempered glass order to arrive.
Pros:
- full screen edge to edge coverage
- accurate cutouts for camera, home button and sensors
Cons:
- wet application (takes a few hours to fully dry)
- has a soft and rubbery feel with noticeable orange peel
- slight reduction in screen sensitivity
Got an armorsuit actually fits really well
Does not fit all the screen. To short from side left to right. About 2.5 millimetres missing on each side.
Ive got the full body one installed and love it for the most part. The rubbery feel gets a lot better after some use. Love how the device is pretty well protected, but still naked. I use to love cases, but with how nice the new S6 and S7 is I decided nakeds the way to go.
I found the ArmorSuit Military Shield great, provided I didn't want to use a case. Because, for me, a case is more important than a screen protector, the ArmorSuit doesn't suit me. It lifted up when used with my Otterbox Symmetry.
I would like to buy a good quality S7 Tempered Glass Screen protector which covers the full screen.
Most of the tempered glass that have good reviews on the S7 do not provide full coverage, Except this, Coral Guard has full coverage and from what I read actually is decent enough on the S7
( adhesive sticks, sides don't lift up etc. ), alternatively, you could also try IQ Shield or Armorsuit, these are protective films but they are case friendly and you woulnd't even realize they are there. They're also easy to install since its a wet install.
Can only confirm Coral.
I would love to use my S7 non edge without any protection, but clumsy me does not allow that... Almost killed my former Z3c display several times if I hadn't had a good tempered glass and case.
I tried several normal screen protectors you can buy in local electronic shops, but they are both overpriced and not worth what they promise.
I already have a decent Spigen case, so I also tried 2 tempered protectors, but they didn't fit well and I peeled them off after 2 days max.The Coral solution fits almost perfectly to both the phone and the Spigen and I don't have to worry about coins, keys, lighters and other stuff in the same pocket as my S7 anymore.

Hi
I bought a cheap one from Amazon and it's fine except that it's hard plastic and way too slippery. I prefer a normal case and not a wallet case. I bring it to the gym and would like some level of protection if I drop it. I have a screen protector on it currently (not tempered glass). Any recommendations?
You don't like the wallet type, but this case works with full coverage screen protectors and also will protect both edges in case of a drop. Magnet holds it closed and it has a slight horizontal overlap on the exposed edge, which would take the impact. Plus this case would outlive the phone. Good luck with your search!

Since you have already bought one, you should mention which one was it exactly. This way it will avoid others recommending the same.
I would suggest this one
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Galaxy-Wallet-Design-Samsung/dp/B01AUR1HF4
Spiegen cases are just TOP although I would never use this one to be so bulky.
BTW if you search Google with the key words "case with credit card holder samsung galaxy s7" you will get lots of results
I am considering picking up a OnePlus 5 since they have the student discount right now and am wondering, what is the recommended tempered glass screen protector and case to protect the phone.
I love Nillkin tempered glass screen protectors for the OnePlus One, Nexus 5, and Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, but it seems they really dropped the ball on the OnePlus 5. The screen protector doesn't even cover the whole screen! Then there's Orzly which covers the screen but the quality itself is not as great. So who does that leave then? What would you recommend?
I also don't know what case to choose. I was thinking of picking up the Nillkin Super Frosted Shield Matte case, but I wanna see what other alternatives XDA likes.
To be honest, the Nillkin is probably the best at the moment, it's got full face adhesion unlike a lot of the others which only have adhesive on the black borders, which means the main screen hovers slightly above the phone's screen which gives a rainbow effect when you use it. It's also compatible with pretty much every case because it's not pushing up against them like a lot of the others. The only thing about it is you can see dust around it as it doesn't reach the edges but this doesn't affect it's use and can be cleaned with a good wipe (I recommend these).
Spigen cases are nice but seem to be the worst for lifting the edges of any larger screen protector (including the official one).
The official screen protector from OnePlus is not compatible with the Otterbox case so remember that when you make your choice, both companies have stated this.
As for cases my personal favourite is the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I just love the way it looks.
I agree with @djsubterrain. Go for the Nillkin.
But if you want a tgsp which covers all of the screen, I recommend you this one : https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...-automatic-adsorption-tempered-glass-t3660494
This tgsp is full adhesive, not only on the black borders. It fits perfectly with the sandstone case from OnePlus.
If you go with glass screen protector, don't get any of the ones that go edge to edge, they all suffer from the same problems such as dust getting underneath and the rainbow effect. As the others mentioned, the Nillkin is your best bet for glass.
As for cases, Spigen always makes good high quality cases and they have a couple of models available, I just recently got the Ultra Hybrid Clear case. I know clear cases tend to turn yellowish with time, but I like to show off my Dbrand skins.
I am looking for a full tempered glass protection and a normal case with camera protection.
So far my list is:

now to decide...
Case:
Any UAG, if you got the money then the one which Costs More. i got the plasma and it has great protection and nice grip while not beeing to heavy and bulky.
Screen protector :
I tried a lot from Amazon and they were all the same crap and had fake reviews. Doesnt matter which Brand. They are all side adhesive, will Pop up sooner or later, got 3d dot matrix and are just cheap when it comes to feel and Fingerprints.
Since i also got a Note 8, i already had the same Problem just like with the p20 pro now.
The p20 pro has also a little curved screen on the edges just not as much as the Note 8 but still enough to give you problems with protectors.
So on my Note 8 i got a whitestone protector which comes with loca glue, because of that it will even fit with full adhesive on curved screens perfectly.
The protector itself feels just as good as the original screen which i haven't seen or felt on any other protector ever since i got Smartphones.
So i was quiet happy to hear that whitestone will also sell a Version for the p20 pro in August.
I will get it asap as it's Released. Price is pretty high and the install can be Hard if you got two left Hands but it's just perfect if you Do it right.
If you want to try normal protectors instead of whitestone Do yourself a favor and get them from Amazon so you can get your money back without any Problems
