Hi, I currently have a Note Edge and a Samsung Flip Wallet case cover I got for about 20$ in an online retailer in Korea (since I live in Korea).
I heard UAG cases are pretty good, and protective. I currently use the Flip Wallet case since I do not need to reach high to power it on/off, because it turns itself on/off. But I have noticed some scratches on the Edge side (not the display), so I'm thinking of a new case.
I also saw that Verus cases are good, too. I desperately need help to choose my case. Thanks!

Hello,
I'm one of those people who buys many cases for their phone. When I had my Note 3, I had about 7 or 8 different cases that I switched to every now and then. I ran across the UAG case on eBay and ordered. The UAG case instantly became my favorite, it became my daily driver and basically the only case I used after that. I liked the style, protection and how well it stood up. When I saw the UAG case for the Edge I didn't even think twice about ordering. My wife ordered me a Verus after reading reviews on it while she shopped for cases for her Edge. It offers great protection, easy to pocket(very smooth) and is a beautiful case. The Verus is too smooth for me and I see the potential for it to be dropped. If they made the other Verus cases like for the iPhone I would definitely order, but for now nothing beats the Maverick in my eyes. Would like to see the Maverick in other colors beside clear, I'd order them as well Hope this helps out

I`m using the Verus Case since one Months, on my other Phones i`m only using Spiegen Cases, in my opiniun the Verus is really same quality! Love it, smooth and easy to use on our Edge!
I have the black Verus case for my black Note Edge and it looks beautiful. I love the way the left side has a bit of a curve to it where the volume buttons are. I already bounced my phone off some concrete from about a 5 foot drop (it was in my lap as I was getting out of a truck). It bounced off a few corners and landed face down. Between the Verus case and the Skinomi screen protector, you can't even tell that happened. No damage to anything. Granted it was only a 5 foot free-fall, but this was the 3rd or 4th day I'd owned the phone and I swear by the Verus. My friend immediately went and bought one for his Nexus 6 after watching my Edge bounce unharmed across some pavement.
I just got my verus shipped as well. I can only judge by the look but i recon my edge is rather good protected wearing it.
As long as it doesnt fall on the edge, that is (but there will be no decent looking case protecting the edge a 100%)!
My wife just commented "gosh, it´s even bigger now" but she is always complaining about the size of my toy
So my verdictabout the Verus case: decent look - promising protection!
I think the raised portion will prevent the edge from making contact with the ground.. The only thing I'd be worried about is something else's edge coming into contact with my Edge's edge..

Thanks everyone, ordered my UAG case and I'm excited for it! Even though I could've got the Verus for like 15usd because Verus is a Korean company, I want to try a UAG since I've never tried it and I think both designs are good and they offer excellent protection.
i just got my edge. the guy i got it from had the verus black on black. i like the color and composition of it but i personally don't like the curved sides and how the corners kind of bulge out more than the middle. i understand it was designed that way for better grip and slip but i am gunna be looking for one that has a straight left side but kinda the same build
Verus [Heavy Drop Protection] Samsung Galaxy Note Edge Case, the case is really good, nice design, high quality
Black Verus Case Beautiful
I purchased the Incipio Dual Shine Pro case had trouble with the black liner around the Camera coming off peeling and making a mess. Thought once peeling stopped case was nicer without the liner around the camera. I now have purchased the Verus Heavy Drop case in Black. I love the Verus case very high quality. Absolutely no complaints in my opinion a far superior case. I recommend it highly. It is flawless.
I had the incipio and now have the UAG. I easily prefer the UAG case, stylish sturdy and a conversation starter. Haven't put the Incipio back on since using the UAG.
I have had the UAG case for 4 days now and I love it!! It adds the right amount of grip to the phone, great protection and not to much extra weight. Not to mention that it looks ass kicking and I have been getting a lot of people to notice the phone because of the case. I had a UAG for my note 3 and love it for that phone as well. Can't go wrong with it!
I used the UAG for a couple of month and love it. The only drawback is it has a very rugged feel and width to it.
I had a Versus case and finally tried it out a few days ago. Imeditaly it gave my phone a different feel, I would say almost a more stock feel, compared to the rugged feel of the UAG. I like how the Versus has a very smooth back cover, where as the UAG has many indentations. Like someone mentioned earlier, the Verus is very slick on the backside, but I don't see the phone slipping out of your hands because of it. Even if it did, with the amount of protection on the corners, this case is going to give you all the protection you need. Also, the Versus has better access to the heart rate monitor, and allows you to place your finger on the sensor more flush. Finally, I do like how the Versus has a slight curve inwards on the left side, which makes it a little more comfortable when holding the phone with your left hand compared to the UAG.
Overall both cases are going to protect your phone from a 5ft fall, and both add a good amount of width to a already wide phone. You cannot go wrong with either case. I would say if you want a smoother feel go with the Verus, if you want a heavy duty feel go with the UAG.
u can put a screen lock app on the edge so u don't have to reach for the top.

I didn't realize this was going to be so hard. What I would like is an OEM Note Edge s-view wireless wallet. So far I have not been able to find if they even exist. This is my first time in Samsung territory and too many choices sound too much the same. I have searched for this by also adding Note Edge 4 ... then I end up spending hours digging through Note 4 products.
If you know anything about this issue, please let me know, or even just tell me where to look. Thank you for your time
Hi everyone,
Any cases to recomand to keep the phone well protected but also to keep the design of the phone ? I'm tired of those cases that make my phone look like it's old when it's not !

Then keep it out of a case, naked as god intended
In 10 years with smartphones, I only have cases for when I'm in a "rough" area (like at the beach) and I never had any problem. Don't drop your phone

Lol you're probably right as long as there is a screen protector but I'm not great at not dropping my phone so I'm not sure if I want to take the risk ! Even though it sounds like you can really enjoy the design of your phone that way !!
What you're asking is essentially what nearly everybody is looking for. But if you're prone to dropping your phone, you definitely need to get a slightly thicker case.
Alternatively (less protection), I'm going to go with a glass screen protector on the front AND the back, and a bumper of some sort.
I love glass screen protectors due to the fact that if you drop your phone and the glass shatters, it's likely to only crack the extra one you put on, not the phone itself.
i have the Neo Spigen cases (for my S4 and soon to be S6). i think they keep the phone protected enough without adding bulk like the majority of cases.. but if you really want the least bulk and thinnest case that basically adds very little size to the phone then my suggestion would be the spigen ultra thin. Spigen claims it's the "Thinnest and Lightweight Case on the market"
Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4N7AK/
most of these cases also available in different color, some other possible options:
Spigen Hybrid - all around protection (phone gets inserted into a slim rubber type case and a thin bumper frame surrounds it).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4ND3G/
Spigen Slim Fit - not the most protective, but probably very slim with little bulk.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QU4ND3G/
So I decided to do a review on a case which I've been using since my HTC One M7 days. It's the Urban Armor Gear case. This is my first ever review so I do apologise if it seems a bit biased but I'll try and make it as honest as possible.
Let's start off with some basic overview of the product itself.
The UAG Rugged Case for the HTC One M9 is a fused composite case that consists of a hard polycarbonate plastic and soft (but rigid to the feel) rubber. I personally love the military design of the back of the case. The rugged feeling is further enchanced by the rubber bolts that are near the edge of the case. The corners have rubber bumpers that absorbs impact from a drop on the corner of the device because let's face it, no device drops face down all the time right? A new addition from the old M7 case is the grips on the side of the case. I did find myself trying to grip my M7 firmly when I took it out of my pocket with the old case that didn't have the grips at the side but with the new M9 case, the added side grips are a godsend. While not everyone is into the solidness and rugged feel, I personally LOVE it.
Picking it up, you can immediately feel how solidly built it is with the plastic and rubber construction. It definitely adds some heft to the device but there's always two sides to a coin. I personally love the added weight because it tells me that I have a quallity product in my hands and I'm not afraid that anything will dent at all should a drop occur. Doing some research, there are other cases out there that have similar features like the Otterbox series of cases. I find that two seperate pieces is way too troublesome for me as assembly and deassembly can be a pain whereas the UAG can easily slip in and out although it's a bit difficult to get it out once it's in there which is good so I know that my M9 won't fly out of the case anytime soon lol.
Everyone knows about that shiny black top on the M9 right? It's the IR Blaster. UAG has actually thought of that and made a cut out at the top of the case for the IR! A nice addition! The only problem that I could find with the case after about one week of use is that the buttons are a bit hard to press straight out of the box. You need a period of "burn-in" for the rubber at the buttons to soften up before it feels normal to press. Another thing is the lack of colour options on the website. It's currently available in Ash (Smoked) and Maverick (Transparent) which is really little compared to when I had the M7 and it had colours like Aero, Outland and so on. I do hope UAG brings those colour options back for the M9.
Other than that, I really have nothing else to say about it. It's a rugged and solidly built case and I really like it a lot. It has both beauty and protection in one. Not many cases have both. If you're in the market for a rugged case and don't like the hassle of a seperate piece case like Otterbox, look no further than UAG.
I hope I wasn't too biased in this first mini review of mine. Do add your opinion in the posts below. I'd love to hear what others think of UAG's recent colour options like ash and maverick as compared to the solid colours.
Looking for a new case myself. Was kind of sold on the tech 21 but I've never had uag before and might invest..

If you're into the rugged protection type, then UAG is for you. But if you're into the slim cases or TPU cases, you might find that UAG cases adds a bit of weight and thickness to the phone.

If I could get away with it then I'd probably go without a case, but weirdly on the flip side to that, out of the cases I have had, I don't mind chunky ones, I'm not a small bloke by any means and have pretty big hands ( note 4 was no problem) having said that, I've just ordered the verge versus in titanium, that's a two parter, next pay day which is a few days I'm going to get a few of them, uag, spigen hybrid and if I can find a tough case with the dot style then I'll be more than happy with that. I'd prefer not lose a feature.

Maybe you could take a look at the Speck cases as well. I used to have the candyshell on my old old iPhone 3G S. Was a pretty good case with dual protection as well. I was choosing between the UAG and Candyshell as well. I'm planning on getting the Candyshell Grip for my next case.

Still waiting on the verge to be delivered, I'm a massive fan of Tech 21 as they've actually revolutionized the technology, also they can accommodate a phone with minimal footprint.
I've never heard of speck but i'll have a nose and see what they have to offer.
Strictly speaking i would love to have the hunter f for my phone but i doubt they'll make one, best looking cases period.

I think the UAG stands out for me is because it eliminates the curved back of the phone. When you slip the phone into the case, it becomes a block so it won't wobble around when I put it on the table. But yeah, I'd say Speck and UAG are in the same category. But do come back with your views on the verge tho.

Will do, should be here tomorrow.
Dude.... that's not related to the thread at all. Make a new one with your question.
If the case came in other colours like Black or Orange, I'd be all over it. I'm not a fan of the transparent cases. This does seem like a well built, nice looking case though.
nice looking case
Hey guys, so I went a little overboard and bought over 20 cases.
I also bought 5 different types of screen protectors.
Instead of trying to post over 20 photos I just put everything on video. I split it into two parts because there were too many cases.
Here's part one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYm9pe57Ej4
Here's part two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlJ0E2BeOLY
Updated with part three https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAInEO0LgLs
Let me know if you have any questions about any of the cases.
Nice video! on your part 1, can you link me where you found the "Inovate" leather case with rhe grip on the back that comes with the screen protector and stylus? Couldn't find it anywhere
Good quick reviews there. You must have spent a fortune on these! Where did you order the Captron Dual Hybrid case in Part 1? The gunmetal colour one. That looks a good contender for what I like.
Haven't watched the videos as of yet, but is it possible to give a written recommendation of a few cases, and why you recommend them, possibly links to where they were purchased?
Like to see reviews on Note 7 cases with kickstands and standing mode cover.
I currently using the Galaxy Note 7 Black S View Standing Cover case. It was hard to find right now with the brick & mortar stores. The only brick & mortar store that I found this cover right now was "Best Buy". I like lots with the S View features and standing mode. The downside is that it hides some of the Note 7 design.

I can write something up...I actually got a few more cases in and plan to do a Part 3. This one might be my favorite, it's from a brand called Myriann.
Link is HERE Here's why I like it.
1. It's a dual hybrid case but it's as THIN as a standard TPU case. Usually these cases are a little thicker because of the tpu and plastic shell but this is extremely slim.
2. I noticed with the Note 7 cases, on the left and right sides, some cases go straight down. What I mean is, the cases should dip in a little bit to account for the curve in the screen. You'll notice with the Myriann case that the sides dip in to accomodate the sides. This isn't a huge deal but when you're holding it, it makes it feel slimmer due to this "cut" in the case.
3. The texture is excellent on the back and it looks very modern.
I could write up some more stuff about the different cases but it really depends on preferences and looks. Do you want more protection or are you focused on just having minimal protection? Do you want to show off the Note design or do you mind if it gets covered with carbon fiber or leather patterns? It really depends on the preference of the user.

I may have to buy that case. Would that be your recommendation if I am looking for minimal protection? Want to show off the design of the Note 7. Really hate when cases cover up the design!
Thanks for your input, very valuable! I'm so used to otter box defender cases, but them things are so damn bulky... So I would like protection first but comfortably thin. If I can show off the phone kool but not necessary. If it had a kickstand I would be happy but it's not mandatory. Damn, I pretty much want every option in one case!

If you want minimal and to show off the phone then probably the Ringke AIR or any one of the clear generic cases I reviewed.
I would recommend the myriann because I like the carbon fiber texture on the back and it is very very SLIM for being that style of case. However, if you want to show off the Note as is, get a clear case.
BTW
GORILLA GLASS 5 IS WEAK! I only had the Note 7 for a couple days, been in a case this entire time and the back glass has a very faint scratch.
Also if you look at my other videos I put up a bunch of screen protectors. I probably spent over $100 on accessories and I can say the ZAGG/IQ Shield types suck if you want to use the Spen. I know many Note users who rarely use the pen so it won't matter but I use it daily and it just sticks and feels horrible on those screen protectors. I installed over 4 and took them all off and the tempered glass ones weren't any better because they didn't stick like they were supposed to.
I have the clear with stand, leather and the PVC case. All three aren't great in my view.
The clear with stand has scratched far too easily, the leather scores too easily and the PVC is a lint magnet, which makes it unpleasant to use. Anyone else have different experiences?
I got the elago hybrid, and Spigen liquid air too. Both considerably less expensive. Zero issues.

I have the OEM leather case. Looks nice, but, I used it for about 5 minutes, it makes an already large phone a real handful.
I'm using an ultra thin carbon fiber case:
Super Slim Case for Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 6.8", Real Aramid Fiber Protective Cover Skin/Wireless Charging Friendly https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PRV3Q3...t_i_7M7WCKXKNVSTHFRN2DJQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
While it doesn't provide as much drop protection as most cases, it provides good protection from everyday wear & tear/scratching.
Overpriced and quality-wise not so good I would say.
i just go on aliexpress and buy multiple cases at <$5. all the ones on amazon are just marked up cases that ali express sells anyway
I've fallen in love with the strap case.
I use the original leather case after i tried the original sillicon case. The sillicon was to sticky hard to get it in the pocket and out
I love the original leather case because it has single holes for every camera it looks much cleaner that way also the feel of the leather. I dont worry about scratchmarks they tend to go away after a few days because its leather you have to use it for a while to get it resistant with your hand oils and fats till it looks good you can also balm it with leather balm
I understand people who dont like the nature of leather but you have to know it will change its appearance with time and you have to care for it
When i know it will be a dirty day, gardening working on the car doing craftswork i just slip on the sillikon case
I have the leather case now 3 weeks and it looks greater then as it was new
Been using their silicone case since the Note 9. Have the one with strap for my Ultra and can't go to any other case. Quality is superb and the grip is very nice.
I bought the Samsung Rugged case when I got my Note9. I used it until I traded-in the Note9 for the S22 Ultra. I never had any problems with it and my Note9 looks brand new. Unfortunately, the new cases from Samsung are poor quality by comparison, so I went with a different brand.
I bought both Smart View Flip and Samsung's silicone cases for my S22 Ultra, like them both! Very good. I currently use the smart view flip case and thought I would get annoyed opening and closing the front cover but ultimately, I ended up liking it more than the open covers.
I just wish they used the nice silicon material like on their silicon case version which feels much nicer than the material used on the smart flip view case.
