I absolutely LOVE my new S6 edge. It's absolutely beautiful, and I want to keep the aesthetic look as much as possible, but still provide some sort of protection.

I know there are numerous case threads, but I feel like what I'm mentioning here isn't covered anywhere else.

I have two main concerns while looking for a case:

1) I don't like how the camera protrudes from the back. When I put it face side up, I don't want the end up scratching the camera lense. It has an amazing camera.... I'd like to protect it.

2) Ideally, I want the case to be this enough to allow me to continue to charge the edge wirelessly, and allow for NFC use. I use Google wallet on occasion, and am looking forward to Samsung Pay.

I am not one to throw my phone around, but **** happens. I'd like something to protect my investment while keeping the beauty of the phone.

Most of the cases will offer some amount of lift to keep the camera lens off of flat surfaces, but nothing can truly cover that sucker the way it should be. That said other than dropping it on concrete or asphalt or rubbing it in sand you should be ok. I would take a cruise to Amazon.com and check out the cases. Spigen has some nice cases.

Here are two that I am looking at, Amazon.com has them for far less than Spigen's site does, plus you might also want to get a screen protector for the front. GG4 is great but not bullet proof. Look for something that fully covers the entire Edge screen not just the front.

Do either of the cases you're looking at still guarantee wireless charging capabilities and NFC use (for Google wallet, Samsung pay, etc)?

It shouldn't impact either of those issues based on using similar cases on my iPhone 6+ I was able to use Apple Pay and thats their first NFC foray. As for wireless charging I have read it wouldn't impact it.
