Would a silicone flexible or hard case be better? - Verizon Droid Charge

comparing these two..

which would fit the phone better? I want to keep things slim, give the phone a nice grippy feel and also match the contour of the battery cover on the back of the phone.
how about the best screen protector?

Steinheil on the screen protector. Best on the market in my opinion. If you want the closest fit, I'd go with the TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane cases. They fit nice and offer good impact protection if you drop your phone.

Both look like they are molded to match the contour of the phone. If you'd like something that will help prevent damage, I'd go with a hard case as it is less likely to rub around on the device, especially if something got between the case/cover and phone. The soft case can flex and could allow dirt/dust/sand down under the cover and it would sit there under the cover and scratch up your phone.

Matte Black Rearth RIngke Case =Awesome!

I'll add my name to the list of fans of this case-
I got mine last night and it's exactly what I was looking for. The fit is nice and snug, but not so tight it hurts to get it out once you put it in..... THE CASE AND MY N4 I mean!! ....dirty minds, all of you...
Seriously, it's a great fit, nice solid snap in and no worry of having to pry your N4 out when you need to clean it. Speaking for which, if I had to list a "con" it might be that this case is just a little too bare bones- i.e. bare plastic touching the glass backing of the phone and no liner to protect against and errant particle of dust or grit. So be sure to remove your N4 and clean it an the case every so often.
It feels smoother and a bit slicker than I thought it would, not quite a "soft touch" as other case that have a matte finish. This can be a good thing as some of the soft touch cases I've owned have had a rubberized coating that can and has rubbed or peeled off over time. Won't be an issue with this Ringke.
This case is great if you just want some protection against getting the phone edges dinged or surfaces getting scuffed when being set down (there is a lip around the front screen which raises up a bit at each corner so you can set the phone screen down), but not so concerned about serious drop protection.
Highly recommended!

[Q] Case vs. Skin vs. naked

Since the S6 is very slippery but very good looking because of the glass, do you use a case because you want to be safe or do you use a skin to retain the phones thin body or you prefer it naked without anything on and around it?
Skin and Case! :good:
Definitely a case with shock absorbing properties. I'm not spending close to a grand on a glass encased phone just so it can have cracks on it.
I think the phone is gorgeous, but use a Verus aluminum bumper in order to get low drop protection and camera protection while keeping the phone mostly original looking. If it weren't for the protruding camera, I've consider carrying the phone bare. (Though I would be concerned with slippage.)
For comparison, I didn't hate the looks the of the S4, but I wasn't thrilled with them either so I put a Spigen Neo Hybrid on, which gave it a look that I liked more, while still looking like a phone and not a case. (Most people I showed my S4 to loved it and didn't realize it was a case.)
I think it's interesting that you bring this up because I asked a similar question in the "show us your case" thread, and people took offense to what I was asking. My basic question was "Do you use big UAG/Otterbox cases merely for protection, or do you prefer the look over the look of the bare phone." I guess I worded it poorly, as I mostly got defensiveness of case choices. Hopefully your thread gets better responses.
(In my photo below, the difference in screen glare and body color is only from a difference in lighting - I used different setups on different days and didn't match the screen lighting. There is no "glare" from the Verus case.)

naked is not a good idea.
friend dropped the phone and completely shattered the screen and created a spider web

(Sounds to me like dropping the phone is a bad idea. )
That would be the risk to not having a potentially unsightly case.
Case + skin. case to protect from falls and skin to protect from scratches
Got both the uag maverick and ash case, prefer the ash on my sapphire black s6, and the maverick on a white s6 both look crazy awesome tho
I use a Dbrand skin and tempered glass screen protector in normal days. Just bought a spigen rugged armour as I'm gonna go on a 3 day camp and I don't wanna risk breaking it.
The dbrand skin should suffice for everyday use. It protects the rear glass from cracking if I ever drop it. And the tempered glass helps with the front glass. The only thing that is unprotected in the event of a drop is my sides.
It's your choice, do you like the feel of the S6 naked? Or would you rather have a cheap piece of TPU protecting it?
Also, if you choose to go naked/skin, the chamfered edges of the aluminium is very soft so it scratches rather easily. You can get a metal bumper to help with drop and impact protection on the sides.
Case. I would consider a skin, but the extra protection is nice. No way I'm carrying this phone naked. Then again, I never carry phones naked anyway.
Dbrand black leather skin on the back, otherwise naked. I hate cases, I'd rather pay for insurance and deductible for replacement than compromise the look and feel of a phone I like.
I just use screen guard both sides it looks and feels good
I had an iron shield on it but removed it about a week ago because the aluminum bumper was killing my GPS signal. Somehow in that week time I got a scratch on my screen. Make sure to put a screen protector on too!
Going naked. I did not pay $650+ to put this in a $5 case. I want to enjoy the phone as it was meant to be. I only have a tampered glass on top and that's good enough for me.

Review of Roocase Glacier Tough Case For S6

I received a case for review purposes from Roocase. I love it and I am using it as my daily case!
I had used an OtterBox case with my previous phone. The basic design of the Roocase is similiar; a soft inner shell and and a harder outer shell. But there are some important differences.
The Roocase has a built in screen protector, which is great. The back design includes raised surfaces at the corners to protect the camera when you lay the phone on its back. This is very well thought out and works great.
My favorite part is how the button (On/Off and volume) covers work. They are responsive enough that you don't need to really squeeze down as I had to with my OtterBox in the past, yet offer enough protection that I don't need to worry about keeping my phone in my pocket.
The case adds some size and weight to the phone, of course, yet the S6 still feels very comfortable in my hand.
A well designed and constructed case perfect for daily use.
My Amazon review is posted here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-r.../ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00SIG5KFS
At least give us some real pictures.
Thanks for the review!
the built in screen protector is plastic with rainbow effect. The two part case is a pain to take apart. The hard poly-carbonate part is so hard and sharp I am afraid it will scratch my phone when I will try to take it off. The protection is good but I would rather pay more for a decent screen protector than go with this plastic rainbow laden built in screen protector. By the way I basically ruined he case while trying to take off the built in screen protector. that's my fault though.
Again very flawed design.

Clear case that does not get oily way too quick?

I need to get a clear case or a good bumper for my S6 that does not oily. I have the Hoco hard cover, and some 2 unbranded silicone ones and they both get oily really quick. I wash my hands oftenly so I doubt it that it happens because of my hands. I know Nillkin has that "Nature" case but how does that one fare?
Nature is a really good cover. If you want scratch protection and extra grip you can trust it.

Best full body skin

I wasn't sure whether to post in accessories or here. I really like the design and appearance of this phone. I was looking at getting the belt clip holster for a naked phone from Encased. But I don't want to leave it completely unprotected so I was thinking of putting a full body skin on it. The only 2 at Amazon that I am familiar with are the Skinomi and the IQ Shield. I was wondering which one would be more recommended. Or is there another brand that would be better. I am currently using Spigen tpu for the screen.
I don't have a full body, but use a honeycomb back skin from Slickwraps and an IQ Shield screen protector.
The screen protector is hardly noticable. Feels good but it's not as good as glass. I just don't want to drop $45 on a Whitestone.
The device feels naked. The only unprotected parts are around the edges. I'm fairly careful and use a Samsung snap on case from time to time, so I'm not concerned about scratches.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info. I had thought about just getting a front and back glass protector and then using an aluminum bumper but I don't know if it would fit in the holster with the bumper I it.
