Does anyone know if this will fit over the HD
http://www.krusell.se/product/3637
I have the bike adapter off Krusell and bought the leather case that Krusell make for the HD (The Only Case They Make For The HD) and it makes the phone to big and doesn't really fit the phone anyway.
The above case has the clear plastic over the screen which is great for the bike.
Any opinions?
I was wondering the same thing. I am new to the HD and trying to find something cute but protective. The 1st generation Iphone is extremely similar in size but the buttons would definitely be an issue. Can anyone chime in?
No, I don't think it would fit.
- First, iPhone's edges are more tapering and rounded, if you know what I mean. HD' edges are thicker.
- The opening for camera for iPhone at the back is at the top corner, whereas, HD's is in the top centre.
- The headphone jack of iPhone is about 10mm more towards the edge than HD's
- HD needs an opening for the stylus in the place whre iPhone cases has no opening for.
- iPhone's bottom has a large opening for its cable, and this hole would be considered too large for HD.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
size
also they are diffrent sizes.... the HD is larger.... larger screen etc
Most iPhone case are built to fit tightly, hence will not fit THD. For the Krusell, it better not to gamble, trying in a store if you can. You may be able to zip it up but may be too tight!!!
However, design like this will fit, I'm using it.

I have the same problem seeking for the right casing
With the wide recall happening its had me wondering if i should get my money back and wait for the note 8.
Thinking about it i wonder how the note 7 design could be improved. As far as physical design is concerned, its form factor and erganomic shape and sleek bezel. Its what we have been dreaming about in a phone for the last few years. The side bezels cant get any smaller. The top and bottom bezel ideally wouldnt want to be too much smaller as it affects hand placement and comfort.
So other than the obvious hardware upgrades, what can be invisioned past this point. Usually i have a idea of what i would like to be improved, but i got nothing.
What do you guys think ? Anything in the physysical design you would want improved. Not including material choices such as glass, plastic etc. Shape only.
If anyones got fan renders of a design they quite like, please share. Would be interesting.
Heres some i like.

Samsung has moved the headphone jack from the top to the bottom. In a perfect FU to Apple, put a headphone jack on BOTH the top and bottom.

Thats more of a feature.
Im also a note7 user and i am also considering money back option. I think samsung should give up on edge screen. It is not comfortable to use. A minimum amount of side bezels are needed for holding the device without blocking the screen. Also sharp corners are better than round corners. A dark blue color would also be nice. A design like black iphone 5 but 6" and slightly less bezels is an ideal design imo
I think most who were worried about the curve screen are quite satisfied and even prefer the curve compared to flat screen.
they should raise the back a little bit.
extra space for a slightly bigger battery, and the camera will be better protected.

Again thats more for features, im exclusively talking about the visual and physical functionality.
In terms of physical design, curves and shape, I really like how Note 7 looks now. Probably only hope the back is not using glass, which is really ugly with all the smudges if you want to use it naked.
I really like the aesthetics of this phone, I cant imagine more beauty, I only dislike the back, smudge magnet
The exploding battery feature should be removed in the next release.

Yea true that, but it appears to be way better than the s7 glass. Doesnt stand out as much.
Anyone got any fan renders of phones they think are cool ?
This phone is the best designed phone that I have ever seen, certainly that I have ever had. Still, there are a couple areas that could be improved. I am not a fan of the curved edges. I have always wanted basically zero bezels, even though I use a slim case, the less bezel the better as the case ends up being a small bezel itself. I also think we could go with a 5.8 to 6" display and the phone would not be too big. I think this phone is a tad to tall - the top and bottom bezels could have been a mm or two shorter pretty easily I bet. And I don't like the speaker moving to the bottom nor do I like the headphone jack moving to the bottom. Also not a fan of the all glass back. So here is my wish list for the Note 8:
>> A non-curved display, or at least the option for either and edge or non-edge version.
>> Slightly shorter top and bottom bezels. The phone could be a few mm shorter IMO.
>> A slightly bigger display - 5.8 to 6" would be pretty easy to fit with the basically zero bezels on the sides
>> No glass on the back - go with a high quality leather-feel plastic back. Glass breaks, is heavy and also a finger print magnet
>> Headphone jack on the top. The bottom sucks for actually using a headphone jack.
>> Put the speaker back onto the back of the phone. The sound reflects better and I believe there is more area for the speaker to project out on the back.
I really like the curves of the phone far better than the sharper edges. Feels WAY better being curved, never did like the sharp edges. We can always find things that could use a little tweaking in any phone. The N7 is pretty darn good all things considered and IMO the best designed phone made right now.

Yea it is well designed. I was not sure how well they would do the curved screen and was worried about accidental touches and excessive curvature. But as soon as i got it in hand i was pleasantly surprised. I ohnestly can't decide which i prefer, curved or flat screen. I would lean more towards curved however because it is about the most effecient way to reduce bezels while at the same time make the phone feel smaller. The curves allow for the hand to reach over further and more ergonomically fit in the hand. Because the curves start at the screen, the rolloff starts earlier and reduces the bezel more as even in flat phones have some curves on the body so it doesn't feel so blocky. But flat screens start the rolloff later.

Since i had every note since the note 2, i felt that it began to be quite comfortable from the note 4 onwards. The note 3 and 2 were too bulky still. So if the screen size could be increased with a form factor no bigger than the note 4, i should think it could be quite nice. The top and bottom bezels could be smaller yea.

So you do like the curves but just not on thr screen ? Is this because you feel it impedes usuable screen space ?.
If they didnt use curves on the screen i do not believe they could accomplish as slim a bezel with the same comfort. For the same reasons as said above, starting the rolloff later would use up more bezel space for the same rolloff angle. They would have to use a sharper rolloff.
Beautiful design if you don't live it the real world, I would first get rid the edge. Gorilla glass 5 or not I dont feel like the edges are a good thing. I would give bith options like the s6 s7.
And then most important to me I would bring back interchangeable batteries.
2 different led strength would be nice, low like it currently has for camera and hight for flash light feature
Glass finger print sensor, or metal but definitely not plastic like now
Put the finger print sensor in the back like the nexus 6p
Bring back the options to customize favourite settings menu options
Enough with the bloat, it all overwhelming, Samsung print, together... I'd I need it I'll download it. Same goes for Facebook, one note, Amazon excel...
Front facing speakers.
Every options in settings or in native app should have a small check mark where you can find out what the setting does before u click it, my knowledge of the what's out there in the tech world and I had to google some options to know whats was up with them
Secure folder should be able to lock up sound files, any files for that matter
In an ideal world Better battery life would be nice
Device manager should let you disable auto kill for certain apps
Relocate the CALL button in the messaging app, personally keep pressing it after I text someone and grab the phone by the top right to slip it in my suit jacket.
Although I have some complaints I'm actually very happy with the Samsung seems to have started listening to the clients again, this shows allot in this phone

I really like the double curve/symmetry body Note 7 has right now. I only hope it don't get scratch easily so I could use the phone naked all my life. Smudges are fine, because it's glass. It looks premium and feels good.
Compare to what apple put on 6/6s, they're just plain ugly. Thin and large like a splatted orange.
All my friends who use iPhone 6/6s are impressed as soon as they get their hands on Note 7. Some of them are interested in changing, while some remain for the iOS.

You can't talk about the visual and physical shape without considering the building materials. Glass is slippery, so requires more 'clutch' on the phone which affects the handling of the phone. I think edges AND slippery backs are a bad combination. With the more intense clutching of the phone, your palms give ghost touches.
If the LG V10 was a 6" high end phone with stylus it would be a sure buy. Grippy, removable back, and stainless steel trim. Unfortunately it had the gimmicky second screen, onscreen buttons and LG software which seems bend on autodestructing itself, otherwise I would have bought one long ago.

That would rule out a lot of phones for those people. To some degree, devices today have a certain amount of curvature at the edges of the phone. For quite some time now 2.5D glass has been used on a great deal of manufacturered phones.
Next a lot of phones have some level of chamfered edges around the frame. And the back frames are usually but not always rounded to fit more comfortably in the hand.
Now i know your possibly talking exclusively about the screen being flat vs curved. However in my point of view if the screen was flat and the curves started after the screen then we would have a device similar to that of the s7, except for the obvious differences such as size, pen etc.
So question is, for people who are unhappy, is it with how the curvature impedes the screen (reasons i dont see why), or the curves themselves.

Yes i agree. I cant imagine accidental edge touches is possible though, the phones edge is inactive from outside in. Try scolling on webpages from the side, doesnt work. I think they have provided a good solution here.
I do understand regardless of whether the screen was curved or not, that the curves are more rounded than other devices or the s7 for that matter. So perhaps thats why its disliked by some compared to more flat like phones.
Would you agree that maybe the side frame in phones where it is held is what is differentiating between more or less curved framed phones?.
This has brought up some interesting ideas for me.
I remember the S3 as having 2,5D glass. It also had the yucky plastic back and was handling like a wet bar of soap. A totally different phone than the SII which I loved and still have today. The Note 2 was the same. The S4 did have a (plastic) rim, so the screen wouldn't be scratched when laying face down. But it still was slippery and they made a seperate edition later on with sorta the N3 backcover. That improved the handling a lot. The S-series has the advantage of being smaller and thus easier to hold. The Note 4 had the coated metal rim. N5 wasn't released here, so no first hand experience. I did handle the S6E+ and S7E in stores, but that couldn't convince me of its usefulness. I also don't like the sharper edges the sides have with edge-style phones. Also a result of phones getting thinner and thinner. I don't mind a 10mm thick phone. It can hold a big battery, recessed/better camera and has ample space for a stylus and removable battery.
IMO a phone should not only be good as a phone with software/functions, but also with real world usage like carrying it around and resistance to any kind of damage. Especially the latter seems to be forgotten by most companies.

Some good points, its given me some good insight to design aspects.
Flat 6" screen and front firing stereo speakers.
They do that and Id never need to buy another device

Hii
Just have got me some of these..
It's cheap and in different colors
Will make a full review when I got it so that you guys can see
But as it looks its good and curved also to fit the front side competly
Here, look for you self
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Curved-Full-Cover-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector-For-Sony-Xperia-XA1-Ultra/253077451787?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=552153049207&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
Just to report back to you guys
Well the 3D screen I have showed you
In the link is not as in the picture curved on the edges.. But It does cover the hole screen
So I have one on my Xperia
If I don't forget will make some pictures too
Now with the soft transparent case it is 100% protected couse before there was a little gap
Now the screen protection is just about that big to reach the edge of the case
So one edge is reaching the other
I mean between the case and screen
Has anyone found a screen protector that is larger than actual display? I bought a cheap set of 3, but they have to be perfect or the glass doesn't cover one side of display properly. I also tried the Zagg protector since they're a name brand and usually cover edge to edge instead of just the display. It is a bit wider than the cheapo ones, but appears to be case friendly.
This one worked perfectly for me and sounds like what you're looking for.

I appreciate that Pixel 6 Pro has a bigger screen, but I prefer a smaller, flat screen like on the Pixel 6. Anyone else? I'm just kind of over curved screens....the mispresses, the image distortation, it's just not for me.
Who else is on team flat screen??
I prefer the 6 Pro finally bigger screen. I've been using the OnePlus curved bigger screens for a few years with out noticing any obvious bothersome distortion...
I wish the 6 would have a QHD screen and not a 1080 FHD. Far as curved or flat screens either is fine imo. I sure hope Pixel 6 series all have little to no issues. It's about time Google shows up the world and develops a phone that can't be beat! Last 6 yrs I stick with Pixel or OnePlus. Now I'm all Pixel! Love my 4XL!!!
100%
after the nightmare of dealing with screen protectors on the S20, I likely will never buy another curved screen.
I have a pixel 4 as well and it took 2 minutes to put a screen protector on and it cost $12 on Amazon, also I have 2 left if it ever breaks.
The s20 on the other hand requires an insanely complex process (frame it, put optically clear uv glue, then carefully put the glass on and make sure it doesn't bubble or dust and then get the glue even and then use a UV light to cure it. insane). Took me 3 tries and spent close to a $100 and I have 0 backups.
Flat screen ftw

I don't know what kind of screen protector you have but the one I have you just drop on top of it and it covers the side and it's hard glass and the fingerprint reader still works and it took probably about 30 seconds to install
Just one word "Awesome"
Flat screen FTW.
I can't wait for this phone!
EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE!!!!!
I've been on the Note series for a long time now and even though the curved screen does give the look of having no bezels on the side, it can be a PITA for me too. I do however love that they are going with the more squared off corners on both the 6 and 6 Pro, similar to the Notes (I REALLY don't like the super rounded edges like the Sammy S line). I have more of a preference to that way more than the curved sides.
Curved screen sounds rad. But not sure if I'm 100% sure. I like the flat screen on my pixel 5. But might be worth checking it out. What do you think?
Not a fan of the curved screens, leaves the sides exposed even with a case and only the Whitestone protectors work around the corners. I am also done with the liquid application of the screen protectors.
I have never used a curved screen myself but my friends had it and I hated every second of the 0.5mm screen bleed from both of the sides (the white light that comes from the image/screen from the curved sides). And I also know that it is quite hard to protect such screens with a bumper on the side, i.e. if it falls on the side over something shard (that top and bottom bumpers cannot protect from), then it will directly hit the screen. And back then there was no control over sensitivity on sides, so you could accidentally register a touch on the screen.
I have used flat phones exclusively and since the start of note edge (i.e. note 6), I wasn't a fan of it. So, a win point for pixel 6 over 6 pro
I also do NOT like QHD screens, as I am a biologist and I know that our eyes cannot differentiate higher than 300 dpi (depending on the distance between eyes and the screen). So all the extra resolution is going to waste (i.e. battery drain because of higher use of GPU/CPU). So, a win point for pixel 6 over 6 pro
I am also not a fan of the telephoto lens, as it is easy to strap on a high-quality adjustable telephoto lens on a smartphone and get higher resolution and control rather than a telephoto that is squeezed into a phone form factor.
So, a win point for pixel 6 over 6 pro.
And lastly, the screen refresh: I have used 120 and 90fps both on different Samsung galaxy A series devices, but still, I am fine with 60fps in normal usage and maybe jump to 90/120 fps while gaming. So, no points for either pixel 6 or 6 pro.
I have used screens as large as 6.5 (SG-A 51) and it was fine, though slightly high (20:9 screen ratio). The same was with iPhone 13 pro max on hand. So, I think pixel 6 will hit the sweet spot between big enough and too big to use. So, a win point for pixel 6 over 6 pro.
Pixel 6 pro seems to have better camera features. So that is a win point for 6 pro.
My overall judgment: Pixel 6 is a winner over 6 pro.
P.S. This is all my personal opinions and not to start a discussion of "how could you" types
I've never owned a curved screen, would like the pro's specs, but want a flat screen and smaller phone. Plus I like bumper cases if anyone makes one, but unsure if those are applicable on curved screen phones.
currently on a pixel 4xl with a rhino shield bumper case that has protected my phone for years through drops, and prevents it from overheating by having an exposed back.
I can't stand curved screens after using them on Samsung phones. Flat all the way. Curved makes no sense once you use it enough unless it's a secondary display.
really wished the pixel 6 came in the beige sunshine color of the pro but it was an obvious choice for me.
I don't know if I'll miss the extra ram and going from 120hz to 90 but we'll see. I can always return it and get the pro.
I 110% agree with you. My wife still has a S8+ and I hated the curved screen from day one.
If you've ever used a liquid UV glue glass screen (great results when perfect, lots of practice required) then you'll know why flat is the preferable choice for a long term device

Can say I runined one on my OnePlus 7 Pro back in the day. Did a good enough job the 2nd time around.
Ever since its been flat screen phones for me.
Curved screens are a gimmick, but if implemented well, not necessarily a deficiency. Samdung likes to wrap the display area into the curved edge of the screen, which is a pretty bad idea. The Google phones I've used and owned with curved screens (including Nexus 6 and Pixel 2XL) have been much more tastefully configured where the image stops before the actual curve in the screen, so there is no touching or looking through the curved glass. This works well and I've never had any issues with this.
Now I guess the question is... does it make it worse than it would be if completely flat? Aside from trying to match a glass screen protector to the curve, I don't think it does. I haven't used a screen protector since my Palm Treo 650, which had a resistive (plastic) screen that would have scratched without something over it. From a physics standpoint, the curve will make the glass more rigid than a flat screen, which could protect it from certain impacts, however it also "sticks out" a bit, which will make it a bit more vulnerable to other impacts. With a protective case around it, you probably get the best of both, since the screen will be a little stronger, but not sticking out and therefore not more vulnerable.
I agree that the screen on the P6P is a bit big... but for me, only in the vertical direction. I'm using a Nexus 6 right now instead of P2XL entirely *because of* the extra screen width. From what I can tell, the P6P is very nearly as wide as the Nexus 6, difference of something like 2 mm. But holding the N6 up to the P6P case shows that the P6P is *insanely* tall. Its going to be an adjustment for sure.
I can't stand big phones anymore. Too cumbersome. Had a Pixel 5 and now a Sony Xperia 5 ii. Love the small form factor and will probably never buy a big phone again.
