Going naked? Removed my case and no SS.

[20degrees]

My wife uses the neo hybrid and its nice. The back is rubbery.

I bought a thin clear TPU case and put my S7 Edge in it almost as soon as I got it. Last night I was watching a lot of YT reviews and saw how nice the phone looks naked, next thing I know I was removing the case.

The phone is so thin and looks amazing. It also feels so good in my hand that I don't want to put it back on even though I know I should. It also now looks like the S7 Edge and not the look of just any other Android phone in a case.

Anyone else totally naked? FWIW, I did sign up for insurance thru my carrier also last night.

I wouldn't risk it. At least go to slick wraps and get a skin. They cover 360 degrees and they have them in stock.

I always but dbrand carbon fiber skin. I should be receiving it this week. Once I have that, I'll stop using this thing spiegen case I have now.

I usually go naked but like my N6 which was also slippery I will be putting a seidio case in this as soon they become available until then I just need to be extra careful.

I went naked for the first 2 days and was very nervous about dropping the phone. I also struggled typing with the edge screen. I bought a Spigen ultra hybrid clear case and it is almost perfect. The beauty still shows through the case and I can now type easier.

Uh, no. I never use a phone naked. This phone will shatter if it comes in contact with cement or a hard floor.

Your OP is giving me anxiety.

I have a clear spigen case but I'm considering going naked because it feels so nice. My only concern is fingerprints. I could care less about dropping it... My $10 spigen you case isn't going to save it and I have insurance anyway.

I don't normally use a case but I have ordered a Neo Hybrid from Spigen for the S7 Edge. The phone is too thin, rounded and slippery for my taste and fingerprints are a constant battle. I considered a skin and may get one if the case doesn't live up to expectations.

Dbrand leather effect skin for me, should be arriving soon. Thought even if I did drop it the skin will cover up the cracks for me. Can't believe one of these thin cases will provide that much protection as well.

you guys going naked with this phone are nutz!

No way for me.

That is how I am thinking. My thin clear TPU case is not really going to prevent much damage anyway.

Also, despite having tiny hands I was bumping the Edge and other places 90% of the time. A case allows me to have ergonomic hand holding with the phone so I'm not touching everything.

I have been going back and forth on getting a case. At first, I thought no way am I going to cover any part of this phone.

But, then is slipped out of my pocket a couple of times and I thought I had better get a case.

However, coming from an S4, I have learned to be careful about what pockets I put my larger, slippery S7E phone in.

To your point about hand size, I have large hands, so holding and using my S7E with one hand without unwanted screen taps, as well as it not slipping from my hand, is not an issue for me.

Now I'm curious if your hand size is part of your consideration whether or not you get a case?

My first consideration was I launched the phone across my office at work and it smacked the hardwood like a champion. I panicked and kept it on the desk all night.

Then I noticed using it one handed I kept bumping something or the other while texting etc. So I solidified my choice in going with a case.

I went with my go to, Urban Armor Gear in Ice (clear and black). Best decision ever. I'll post up a pic later.

Ergonomics changed completely and for the better. I still nudge it sometimes, but I think it's cause I'm getting used to the curved screen, but much much better and UAG makes it look too damn good.

Kinda have to agree with what he said! ^^^

Can't go naked so I bought the Samsung clear case for normal day to day use. It's minimal and keeps the natural feel of the edge. I'm also going to get the UAG case for use while camping or on the motorcycle. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...s-accessories%2FEF-QG930CBEGUS&token=HmCmYpCP

Really????

Love ya, but gotta say that may well be the most hideous looking thing I have ever seen (after pretty much any of the Kardashians).:'(

 

[anon(607340)]

I'm always naked, on every phone I own for the most part. Millions of dollars is spent to make these things look and feel pretty. I want to use it as the designers intended. I will buy insurance just in case and enjoy the phone in all it's naked, slippery glory.

Same here. That's what insurance is for!

 

[Rafterman00]

Without a case, I am constantly accidentally activating apps along the side of the phone, especially when I pick it up. The fatal flaw with edge to edge screens like the S7 Edge.

 

[Byron Hinson1]

No way I will be not now I'm on the Samsung contract where I get a new phone every 12 months if it's in great condition!
