Have anyone tried DBrand skin of Note7?
And how are the edges doing? Are they peeling off?
I like the stone/concrete texture. Is it smooth/plastic feel, or like real semi-gloss concrete?
What about metal? Are the titanium strips bumpy or just printed texture?
What about wood? Or Matte?
*Extra question: Is sandstone case available for Note 7 yet?
Bump. Brah
I currently on a s7 edge dbrand skin. I would think the note 7s dbrand skin would be a little similar. I have the matte on the front and back. Fits perfectly and it wraps around the edge perfectly. My front skin actually covers up the front buttons so I can't even see them when they light up.
I have the carbon fiber back only. Fits perfect and has not peeled or bubbled at all. Fit is to the nanometer, so it took a couple tries to align it right. Follow online video instructions. Very happy with it! Carbon fiber gives it a little texture to give it some better grip. Note 7 ATT black.
Thanks guys.
I really like the concrete one. But im not sure if the grip feeling is 80% like real polished concrete or not. I dont dare to order if im not sure because order to my country is expensive AF. Couldnt find a good concrete review on YT.
Now im looking forward to the titanium ones. Does anyone know if those strips texture bumpy 3D or just printed?
I got the mahogany just to cover the back and protect from scratches. When it's out of the case the corners catch on my palm, when I had a slickwraps skin on my S7E it was a perfect fit. This isn't as smooth and you can tell the difference on the edge because it's too thick.
As for the texture it does have a smooth wood type finish. Not quite raw tree bark, but you can feel it as you pass your finger over.

Looking to get the girly a nice case as hers is falling apart but she only wants a case that protects the screen. Right now she has a cheap one from amazon that the phone snaps into and then there is a magnetic screen protector on it as well. Anyone with any experience with these?
I have an invisible shield screen protector with a Speck case which is a great combo. Speck has some feminine colors for cases and the invisible shield is a great screen protector, but it does seem to smudge a lot.
Maybe Otterbox Commuter will be nice solution?
best case
otterbox to me is the best case to get
Zagg invisishield but get the antiglare/anti smudge one's form best buy the never smudge even with chicken grease (hadda txt one night while eating wings) as far as case's go amazon.com has a ton of them personally i recommend a tpu style case they're light nice and have grip liek a jelly, but they are also hard liek a snap case plus the s-line one's have a raised camera lip so u won't scratch the lens when it set it camera side down, only thing the s-line is for desire hd nd while it fits the screen side dosen't always lien up perfect, meaning that the raised lips aroudn the screen isn't always raised all the way around other then that they are great and come in ton's of different colors
Surprised I haven't seen any reviews of the Cygnett cases. I've seen other Cygnett cases on previous phones and always wanted to try them out.
The case is a simple snap on design. The Carbon Fiber back looks really sleek and you can tell it is of high grade carbon fiber material. My favorite part of the case is actually the sides. The sides are of a matte finish that really enhances the grip of the phone. If you're looking for a real slim case, then this will be a good one to look for. The case is kind of expensive sitting at 30 dollars, but I feel the quality is worth it. I've had similar snap on cases from Ringke, SGP, and Elago, but the Cygnett case design is superior and overall the case just feels much sturdier. Also the matte finish has the best grip of any snap on case I've ever used.
If you're looking for protection, this case won't help much at all. I have dropped the phone from 5ft onto concrete and I heard a small bounce. When I looked at the phone, it was perfect, but I wouldn't rely on it.
Wow Cool :thumbup:
How is the lip on the device? I like that carbon fiber and their brushed aluminum one and I need to get a new case but I want to make sure that the lip is decent on the front if i place the phone face down.

The Lip is barely there. I'm talking like a 0.7mm lip over the front. The glass won't touch the ground when lied flat on its face.I even have a Mime glass protector on it and it still doesn't touch the ground.
nice casing and looks very sturdy
Does the back feel matte or glossy?

Glossy
I have the white carbon fiber version and the sides are more slippery (not matte) and the back looks like it is just woven tinsel. I would recommend getting the black version, NOT the white. I stupidly thought that it would look like the black carbon fiber, just white...

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.

(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.

Brand skin with Rhino Shield bumpers
im using melkco italian cowhide leather herman series case , prefer using genuine leather case for my protection rather than back cover case or softcase, anyone fans from using genuine leather case maybe can sharing to me?:good:
I currently have a UAG for my S6 which is in Ash color which is made out of this clear glossy plastic instead of the hard matte poly carbonate on the other non-transparent colors. Of course the reason I got that is because I have butter fingers and I do drop my phone a lot. After just two weeks of usage the case has become super scratched and beaten up. The glossy plastic also sort of creates this oily and greasy feel whenever my hand is sweaty or isn't clean. Other than that I do like the UAG a lot, from the design to the grippy sides it provides. So I might consider my next case being another UAG but in Blue.
However after seeing reviews on youtube on the RhinoShield Crashguard for the S6 I'm really starting to lean towards it due to the protection it provides despite how simple the case is. I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma right now on which one to buy and I don't have enough money to buy both. I also have a lot of dbrand skins for my S6 saved up so I can use the RhinoShield with a skin to protect the back and add some design to it.
I have used cases like the Spigen Neo Hybrid before but I find the amount of width it gives to the side of the phone makes the bezels very big and ugly, so I don't really like those big bulky cases which makes the phone super ugly because it makes the bezels huge.
Anyone has a RhinoShield are welcomed to post pics of their phone with the case on, especially shots which show the front of the device only and how much "side bulk" it adds to the phone.
I use the Spigen Neo Hybrid and its bezel is the same size of the Rhinoshield, it might actually be smaller. If you think that the Neo Hybrid is big and ugly then I am afraid the Rhinoshield is not an option for you. I have a bunch of cases for the S6 and I always go back to the Neo Hybrid because it is always the slimmest.
I have the Rhinoshield crashguard, and prefer my UAG (Maverick) to it. I do really like the Rhinoshield bumper, and it is probably my 2nd favorite case for the S6. However having the back glass exposed always keeps me feeling a bit nervous, and the buttons on the case are a bit too spongy to me.
If you can get one, the Case-Mate Tough may be an option - it's not as wide as the Neo Hybrid (it appears to be 1-2mm skinnier, just like the UAG), and has a textured back shell,while keeping the bezels small. The only downside is that it's thicker on the back than the Neo Hybrid (by 1mm or so), which does a better job protecting the glass and the camera bump.
It also goes on easily - there's the skin part, then the clip on shell part.
Hey guys,
I'm going to go caseless witn galaxy s6.
I have front ans back protectors, but I can't find a suitable skins for the side metal frame. I looked at bestskinsever, but it peels off rather too easily. And their customer service is subpar (sends wrong skin, then acts like they're doing me a great favour sending me the correct skin). Ghost armor is no better.
dBrandz skin is amazing, but lacks frame protection.
Can anyone recommend a durable skin for the side frame?
Thanks a bunch
