    Three dropped calls with S7; never dropped calls on Note 2.

    Haha - I think horses and cows win over speed downloads. :-) I have found that the signal issues appear to play out worse for the person on the other end. On most extended (>30 min) calls, at some point the other person suddenly can't hear me when I can hear them perfectly fine. I don't think...

    Three dropped calls with S7; never dropped calls on Note 2.

    Not sure I get your question, so please clarify if not. By wireless (which might not have been the best term since overly broad - sorry), I was referring to wifi calling - i.e., making calls via a wifi network, vs. over LTE/4G. In my home anyway, it turns out wifi calling generally outperforms...

    Three dropped calls with S7; never dropped calls on Note 2.

    Good thing I braced myself for the Verizon call. I ended up on the phone with three reps for nearly three hours. The Verizon rep who did the main troubleshooting saw firsthand the dropped call problem as it happened several times during our session (thankfully before the fixes). We did several...

    Protector for back of phone (preferably clear)

    Xtremeguard has a back-only protector: Samsung Galaxy S7 Screen Protectors. I haven't used it, but other AC folks have reported great results with Xtremeguard protectors in general. Not sure you'll save much getting just the back, though, versus the full set of front, back, and sides. Also, I...

    Awesome, monicakm. Thanks for reporting back. I've been verizon-call fatigued given a number of trouble-shooting I've needed to do with them, but you've inspired me to get moving on this. :-)

    Recs for a somewhat thin/lightweight case that still provides some drop protection?

    Also check out the Seidio Surface case, or if you want more versatility, the Seidio Convert Combo: https://www.seidioonline.com/device/galaxy-s7/. I posted this under the Cases sticky, but Seidio is having a 30% off sitewide sale with free shipping. While a tad spendy, Seidio is very high...

    What are your favorite cases/screen protectors for the Nexus 5X?

    I also posted this on the Galaxy S7 boards, but thought it was relevant here too: Seidio (https://www.seidioonline.com/) is having a spring sale with everything on their site 30% off with their (usual?) free shipping. Lucky me, as I was just on their site a few days ago, and almost bought a few...

    FYI, Seidio (https://www.seidioonline.com/) is having a spring sale with everything on their site 30% off with their (usual?) free shipping. Lucky me, as I was just on their site a few days ago, and almost bought a few cases pre-promo. I'm not sure how long the sale will last. I got their new...

    Can't turn volume low enough - calls too loud

    Ha! Wish I could help but I have the opposite problem. Wish I could trade. :-)

    Good Edge cases and screen protectors??

    Thanks for this detailed response - super helpful. When you say to pry the edges up, do you mean to lift up the edges of the screen protector (vs the case), so they aren't actually attached to the phone screen anymore? Do the protector's edges then rest on the front bevel of the case?

    Spigen Curved Crystal Screen Protector

    Great, thanks! I've used the Speck on prior iphones and liked it - couldn't remember how durable it was.
