Anyone concerned that putting a case on the edgeless/borderless Note 7 is going to create a edge/border on it? I think the cases that are least likely to add a border/bezel look to the phone are probably thin clear cases like the following:
https://smile.amazon.com/Protector-...note+7+naked+case&refinements=p_85:2470955011
https://smile.amazon.com/Galaxy-OBL...note+7+naked+case&refinements=p_85:2470955011
https://smile.amazon.com/Ringke-Wei...note+7+naked+case&refinements=p_85:2470955011

Also have you noticed that most pictures of note 7 screen cases only have views from angles, and not from directly in front of the phone? The first and third links may be the only ones I've seen with face on pictures of the phone with the cases on it.

Edit:
I've ordered way too many cases! :-[ As I hear some of you have done in the past. To break it down

I'm going to have way too many cases for my Note 7! :-[ With all the deals on cases, and the worry of having something by the time the phone arrives I have now ordered the following cases (~ 8 give or take):

Ringke Air ($1.99)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Ringke Fusion ($1.99)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Orzley FlexiCase ($2.98) (ordered today, arrives tomorrow! :D)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Unknown clear case with screen protector ($9.99 - this was my buy to make sure I had a case by phone arrival date)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Also ordered a leather sleeve (not sure if I'm going to want to carry my phone in my pocket or not, but if I do I'll probably use this)(ordered in case I decide to go caseless):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Pouch/ with belt clip (ordered in case I decide to go caseless) ($6.49):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Orzly Wallet case (bought this before I heard about how the magnet in it could lead to temporary dead spots with the stylus) ($2.98):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Orzly Fusion bumper case ($2.98):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5308201

Guess I may end up rotating my cases every so often to make use of buying all of them, and maybe I'll do a comparison review when I have all of them and my phone.

I have no worries of a case taking away from the bezel. I'm sure it'll be good to go.

I also theorize that the UAG (and many others) cases were "made for" the Galaxy s7 Edge originally. I say this mainly because they all have their cases out like "now". Like before announcement.

UAG for example is usually late to the party, but it turns out they have them on announcement day?

My theory may be debunked in that buttons may be in different places, and (OF COURSE) the S-pen hole.... But I'm guessing the other dimensions and all are almost identical? Am I wrong? (I might be wrong... Maybe Samsung just had it ready for awhile - hence the specs being almost the same as the s7 edge - so case companies had a good chance to work with it.)

Heres the Note 7 UAG Case. That's a Note 5 UAG Case behind it.

I received my unicorn beetle pro and neo hybrid crystal yesterday and they appear to be cut to allow full use of the edge functions. I guess we'll see next week, hopefully earlier.

Why does the Note 7 UAG case have 2 holes in the top?
Seems like they rushed this one out, adding extra holes to cover all bases.
Can you post some more pictures of the UAG Note 7 case?

I definitely want a genuine leather wallet-style case for my Note 7 :) The leather isn't as slippery for me as the armour & plastic & PU cases.

My Note 2 wears its perfect cowhide Spigen case, but I had to order my Note 4 leather case from Noreve in France :(
Senacases is still deliberating on whether to make a Note 7 case :(

So . . . can you recommend a company selling Note 7 leather cases?

I ordered a leather wallet case on Amazon the other day (it was only $2.99). Here is a link:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01JM5RMMW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Edit:
I've now received the leather sleeve (not the leather wallet case) as well as the Orzly FlexiCase. As a test I decided to try and fit the Orzly case inside the sleeve. According to the specs I had read on the sleeve before ordering it (6.2 x 4 x 0.5 inches ) and comparing them to Samsung's listed specs on the phone dimensions (6.04" x 2.91" x .31") I thought it should be fine. As you can see from the pictures the case sticks out of the sleeve a bit, so the entire phone will likely not fit in the sleeve. I have attached a picture of the case in the sleeve as well as a few with the case propped in different positions, so that you can see how far the case is likely to cover the phone.

I had a tech21 mesh on my previous phone and it worked beautifully, even with a delicate phone (*cough* iPhone6 plus) so I bought a Tech21 evo for my Note7 hoping it works well. As someone else stated, in terrified of breaking the edges on this phone lol

So, does the UAG case have 2 hole cutouts up top? Also, how did you get yours so quick, I believe you posted that you ordered it on the 5th? I ordered mine on the morning of the 5th and my tracking info still says it hasn't left Hong Kong yet? How does the size of teh UAG compare to the Rugged Armor? I also have the Rugged Armor and have been concerned that the UAG case might be a bit bulky?

Yes not sure why there's 2 holes on top the UAG case, and yeah i ordered on August 5th came in today, also the UAG case isn't really bulky at all , i have the UAG case on my S7 Edge as well, so ordered for the Note 7 , since I've always use the UAG case for all the phone's i had before like Note 4, Note 5 .

Seems like shoddy engineering with 2 hole cutouts, hopefully one of them lines up correctly? Did yours ship out of California or Hong Kong?
