Looks like the Edge can take a hit.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Drop Test - Most Durable Yet?!: https://youtu.be/gdkPKeOVOrk
After accidentally catapulting my Note 3 into a wall - when it was in an Otterbox Defender - I look at this video and see drop tests that my phone wouldn't have noticed causing "scuffs" (I call them "damage") to the edging and cracked glass. When Samsung makes a phone as tough as a Defender case I'll be impressed. This test? Meh. Put a Defender (when they come out with one) on that phone (after it's been fixed) and repeat the tests, and I doubt that there'd be a scuff mark on it, let alone broken glass.
