I was wondering how the edge is holding up to being dropped. I was worried about the curved edge breaking.
Would love to hear from users that have dropped their's, do you have glass tempered screen protector on it?

I personally wouldn't test it. I've dropped it pretty hard and my case saved it but I wouldn't bank on it. I personally wouldn't bank on any phone dropping unless it's something like the S7 Active.

No I wouldn't on purpose, but never had a edge before.
What case do you have?

Not very sturdy imo. My phone was in a tech21 case and it looks like a missle hit it. About a 3 foot drop face first.

Just check out the number of ones with cracked screens/backs on eBay... not the most durable phone around. Still love it, though I haven't cracked the screen/back yet. Ask me again later if/when that happens.

Its all going to depend on how it hits honestly I dropped with no case like 10 times before I finally cracked the back, I snuck it passed warranty saying it was a long scratch lol. I now have it in a otterbox case.

I have dropped mine and no tg, but have a case. No damage but I wouldn't intentionally drop it either

I have dropped mine several times. I don't have a single scratch on my phone.

Funny how I realize I need to be extra careful with this phone yet I have dropped it more times than any other phone I've had in the past. :) I use a wallet case and wouldn't trust any other type of case with this phone. Good thing I like wallet cases!

I dropped it days after picking it up. It happened while I was in Windsor...my aunt passed away.

It dropped from shoulder height I'm using my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case but let me tell you I was freaking out but after checking it NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH or DAMAGE.

I made a joke that my aunt watched over me. :)

I have the Otterbox Symmetry. I dropped it a few times and nothing. Great case. A couple days ago I took my s7e out of the case to attach USB thumb drive and dropped it on cement. Cracked in several places. Even with the best assurion insurance, I have to pay $199. Bummer.
