Anyone running a case? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Accessories

Hi All,
I am a S7 Active owner since launch day and really love the phone. Just curious if anyone is running a case or bumper-style case on the phone? I know the rubberized coating on the perimeter of the phone does a decent job, but if I could find something slim and good looking I may consider it just to protect from scuffing the perimeter and screen/back.

Cimo case here. love it. was getting rid of old phone stuff and came across some apple stickers; had to do it lol. nice slim tight fit, love it. also got glass screen protector which i highly suggest as the screen is polycarbonate plastic on top and WILL scratch easily.

Got a otterbox for it. The holder kinda sucks which can let the phone fall out in extreme situations and turns the phone into a bulky cumbersome brick but a indestructible cumbersome brick.

I am a case addict and have a case for every scenario:
Otterbox Defender for extreme scenarios.
BodyGuardz case for medium/heavy duty protection.
Body Glove for kickstand use.
SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE for grip and fitted case (best all around). Pics below.
S5 Seidio holster for naked use.
Holster used with SUPCASE is the Note 4 Seidio holster.

Thanks for sharing folks, keep 'em coming if you run a case.

Personally I've been running the Poetic Affinity Case. Its slim and adds just a smidge of protection. I take it off from time to time just to show people that my phone is not an S7 with a crazy case on, though, haha.

Seems I was wrong about the otter box belt case slipping out, if you put it in the exact way it wants you too it stays in no problem though it's not the most convenient position for sure

This.
I will be doing liquid screen protection, since I did my homework and read the countless reports of the overlay being prone to scratches. Beyond that, I might do a skin for the back/sides, but the phone seems bulky enough without adding a case.

I have a Poetic Affinity but rarely use it, I love way the phone feels without a case.

Ordered one for mine a few days ago off Amazon. It was made by zizo, I'll link it when I get home. Definately feels like a durable phone but being an avid outdoorsman in Alaska... I'd rather throw an extra layer on it than not.

What do you guys think of the bolt cases?
I don't see myself using a case very often but it might be good for hiking/ hunting.

I am also using the SUPCASE UNICORN BEETLE and love it! Best all around case, so much so that I don't even look around any more! Easy to hold, great protection - front, back and edges, and slips in and out of my pockets without a lot of hassle!

I just went simple - TGSP and a clear TPU cover - "Fosmon DURA-T Slim TPU Back Cover Case". Paid less than $10 off amazon for both. The phone is sufficiently rugged on its own for my purposes, it was more about keeping it from looking like it went through a war zone.
What I particularly like about TPU covers is that they slide in and out of my pocket easily. nothing to grab my clothes with.
2 co-workers got the S7 active after I did - one had no intention of using a screen protector nor a case, but he's gotten some "microscratches" and is reconsidering. The other has gotten a couple very light scratches while waiting for the TGSP to come in, again from amazon.

Just next day'd " Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Case, Zizo [Bolt Series] " off Amazon (it looked the most rugged and thats what i was looking for) comes in tonight and I will try to write an update if I get a chance.

Got the case in, it's definitely rugged.
Audio jack is right next to the hanger clip which may make it difficult to insert head phones, but I only use blue tooth so that doesn't affect me.
The screen sealed on nice and over all the case fit real snug. I like it as of right now but will try to update once it goes through it's first real impact.... hopefully it does it's job.

Weird, all my buttons are easy to push... Maybe there is some accuracy issues in production? Because all these buttons are easier to push then the Defender series I had on my other phones.
Maybe the rubber button over the power button just needs to be broken in a little. Try taking the case off and pressing the button in and out a few times to make sure it is pressing easily and then placing it back on.
So far I really like this case... its holding up well for me and its really easy to grip... personally I thought I wouldn't like the lanyard that came with it... but now I keep it on at all times and it keeps me from misplacing my phone so often.

Which hard case would you recommend?

I much prefer slim hard cases, typically seidio brand. I can't seem to find a good alternate. Quality is much more important to me than price. What do you guys suggest?
I'm on my fourth case and they all suck. One scratches the phone. One turns it off when I'm not looking. One fits too loosely, and one got all dirty the first day.
I'm going to buy this one next in silver. I like the fact that it looks like there's really no case and it got good reviews on the case mate site. I'll let you know how I like it if you want.

I've been using my case-mate tough case ever since they came out with them, and I can't speak highly enough about the quality and fit.

I haven't noticed any issues with the silver barely there case that I just got. But as far as protection goes, probably not the best one for this thread's request.
I also have a tough case, which I highly recommend for anyone looking for a solid case for protection.
Case-mate tough case is great, as someone allready stated I cannot recommend it strongly enough. You won't find a better case for the money or more imo

What about the body glove case? I was looking at that one for a hard case. What do you guys think about it? Anyone use it?
I have a body glove case and frankly it leaves alot to be desired. The case easily doubles the thickness of the phone, and with out fail turns out my jean pockets every time I use it. I'm not sure if i got a bad case or what but the case does not seal properly all the way around the phone. I have had the misfortune of dropping my case from table height (appx 3ft high) and the body glove case did protect the phone wonderfully. I have the full black and chrome case, not the clear back shell. I am in the process of deciding on a different case and thus far I am heavily leaning towards the case-mate tough case.
Mesh case. Love it... every other case makes a thin phone too large.

Hope that doesn't happen with the one I just ordered. But everything else you say about the case sounds great to me. I don't know how many times I have almost dropped the phone from it slipping out of my hands while pressing the volume or power buttons. Do the black Case-Mate cases have a rubberized feel to them?
My vote is for the bodyglove case. I have been through 4 cases and this far is my favorite. It protects gives the extra bulk and looks slick. It also has a kick stand which I use all the time.

Case Mate tough case for me. Silicone inside prevents scratches and tough plastic outside offers some protection from falls.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Here is a couple pics of the body glove in action. By the way it protects well I have dropped it a couple of times and the case comes apart instead of the phone breaking. I dont know how you wear your phone but I slide the phone in my pocket with the clip sticking out.
Trident Case for Samsung Vibrant
Got the TPU case, good fit, but feels cheap. Got the mesh case, looks decent but not much protection. Got tired of waiting for Otterbox. Almost got the CaseMate Toughcase but they only come in black or pink. Then I came across this last week. Check out the plugs and the buttons, even the back camera has clear cover over it. Liked the attention to details so pre-ordered it. According to the website, they're being shipped this Wednesday 11/17. Since I'm new, I can't post the link, here are some photos of the product. Just google Trident Cyclops Samsung Vibrant. Be sure to "Like" them on Facebook to save the $6.00 shipping. I wish ElementCase would make an ION3 or Liquid Carbon for Vibrant. I'm so sick of iphony and ipotty getting all the good cases.

I got my silver case mate barely there and it is awesome. I guess it is more of a looks than protection thing, but the front of the case is over the bezel so when the phone is face down there's still a gap. The silver is really good looking. Case mate also sent it the day I ordered, and I got it from GA to CA in 3 days.

Are you sure it wasn't just a coincidence? The complaints were about the chrome, not the metallic silver. I haven't seen anything, and my phono widget says the signal is as strong as ever.

It's hard plastic with a rubbery feel. It's smooth enough to slide into my pocket and not pick up lint, but sticky enough that it can sit on my center armrest in the car without worrying about it sliding off.
There's also about a 1/16th inch high border around the screen that does a good job of keeping down any chance of a drop resulting in the screen touching anything the ground.

Figures!!! The upper left corner of the body glove case doesn't want to keep closed. I just sent an email to the seller for a refund. I'm thinking of just getting a extended battery with a rubberized back cover, and a new pouch to fit it.
Yea that's why I have the casemate now, hopefully you didn't order it on ebay there was this one seller that I bought it from and he would not repond to my messages about the case, also my bodyglove case won't stay closed at all anymore. I just think their quality control isn't all that great.
The tough case feels like abs plastic and is textured so it doesn't catch on pocket lining when you pull the phone out your pocket but it still feels good ib your hand and doesn't feel like its going to slout og your hands

[Q] (Q) What case do you prefer?

I prefer the ballistic case hc solved the oil slick effect using the screen protector they give you. I was wondering what a lot of you folks prefer using I don't mind a slightly bulky case fits great in my hand anyways thanks.
Ballistic by far. I use the optional case at work and drop it down to the inside case for everything else. I love that the holster works either way.
My wife is still happy with the Trident Cyclops.
Both of our Seidio Rugged case's fell apart a long time ago.

Ballistic is by far the best case out there.

How did you mess the screen protector up if you got finger prints on it you can wash it down with glass cleaner or water and put it back on put it on wet and use the your ID or a card to smooth out air bubbles. If you really messed it up id check out ebay man you can probably find a screen protector that work like a champ pre cut. Or go by a zagg screen protector it should work for you i find the bottom part cut out on the stock ballastic screen protector annoying cause everytime you press a key down there it kinda sticks lol tho i have gotten use to it.
I gotta throw a vote in for Seidio Innocase Surface II. Not bulky at all. Leaves all buttons very easy to push. Compatible with their kicka$$ Innocase Car kit (cradle style holder - NOT a cheesy universal fit one). Will it hold up to being dropped from a 3rd story window? Unlikely. Can you throw your phone through a wall with this one? Doubt it. But if you're doing stuff like that with your phone (such silliness that requires a Superman-esq force field) - you really need to rethink having a $500 phone.

I do alot of work in a shop and always leaning over a car and under cars plus anything outdoors mending fences and such kinda need the bulk too keep oil and grease and when your phone might get caught on something and yanked from your side its a good thing to have to keep your screen from getting the snot kicked outta it great for keep dust out. Ive seen the case your talking about there a good brand. Really depends on what you need and suit of taste. Ballistic case is rugged great for not in the office sort of jobs and lifestyle.

Great case.

Just got this in the mail. It covers all of my buttons (volume rocker, and power) and leaves everything lined up perfectly for the plugs. It fits like a glove, and it has a perfect silicone feel to it. I paid 7.95, and the shipping was very fast. From CA to MI, I got it in 4 days with no extra shipping charges.
Link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-So...se-Samsung-Epic-4G-Touch-Sprint-/190577624793
I would strongly recommend this case because it helps conserve your hardware buttons.
EDIT: I just realized the sale has ended, and I am sure people sell the same exact case. Just look around Ebay and Amazon.
Great alternative to the TPU cases everyone is talking about.

Yea I got one from ebay as well for..$5.95 I believe. It's not the best case but it fits like a glove and is raised above the screen and camera to prevent you from setting it down straight on them. It adds a little bit of width but truthfully this is just an In-between until the casemate barely there, and it's a cheap way to protect your phone until then!

the description says Anti Dust Silicone Material, do you get any lint/dust on the case? My last silicone case for the Evo4G is a dust magnet, it pretty much picks up all the pocket lint I've in my jeans.

Silicone can stretch, tear and become loose over time.
TPU does none of those and will always return to the original shape.

I honestly haven't had any problems, and I have had it in my pocket almost the entire day. No stretching, loose ends, I can't really verify it is anti-dust, because I have had the phone for a day lol. It feels great.

How would you know? You don't have the case?
I couldn't rip this case, unless I was literally trying to. And the case makes a "lip" over the screen, in case you want to set it on the table screen first. As far as stretching goes, I paid 8 dollars for an awesome case. If I need to replace it (2 years would be my guess), I will do so.
The great thing about Silicone, is that it looks clean and never gets scratches, looks cheap, and fits great on the phones.
Take my word for it or pay 24.99 at the Sprint store lol. The case didn't even cover the entire outside of my phone, and I broke the kickstands on it almost immediately. Complete garbage.

Not a very good case... long term
In my experience, silicone cases are a temporary fix at best. I have bought several and always end up replacing them within a few weeks. But for the price, it's probably not a bad temp case until you find the best one for your needs. I ordered a TPU case for $9 and hope to get it today as I just got my phone from letstalk yesterday.

love mine feels like a rearth. dont think it will stretch feels great in the pocket. doesnt stick like others i have had with other phones. but feels great in the hand im in hot weather so i have sweaty hands from time to time. so the tpu get kinds slippery. this gel i like a lot. recommend def till you find what you like a hard case. or like me a case with a kickstand. and i found it for like 5 dollars on ebay or amazon.
remember now its from the accessory geeks on ebay.

Black Bumper for S3 (HQ pics) Recommend!!

Let me start this review just by saying that i love bumper cases. I
have been looking over the internet to find the best bumper case for
our Galaxy s3. I came across this case. Its a STRONG silicone bumper
that completes me in every aspect.
First of all. Its cheap. I think that everyone can try a cheap case
and if they dont like it, they throw it to their dog. (hehehe) Guys,
seriously. this is the best bumper case i have seen over the internet.
Why? It has a nice touch when you are holding your
phone. VERY nice touch. You will want to just hold your phone because
it has a nice feel Second of all: PROTECTION. And i mean it. Front,
back and sides are fully protected.
Front side (screen): the case has a slight bump on the edges so if the
phone drops the floor, its still protected (floor not the road hehe).
Back: Again, the case has a bump on the edges. So if your phone drops
on the back, protected!!! if you want to lay down your phone on a
table: PROTECTED.
Sides: Full protection, which is obvious why: its the case hehe.
Buttons: FULLy accessible button, both power and volume buttons. They
are covered by a soft silicone so there are very easy to press
(compare to the other tpu case i have reviewed)
I dont know if there are more colours available. You must check on
sellers ebay site.
Rating: If this case would be rated its a rock solid 5/5. Believe me
on this. It defenently worths every peny guys. I even compare it with
a TPU bumper case, that i have reviewed last week, amd this is by far
better.
Enjoy the pictures. I tried to take as many as possible.
I will review more bumper cases in the near future so stay tuned.

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.
Its a single piece mate. Plus you dont lose any signal plus its a snap in snap out plus its veryyy cheap

Galaxy S3 Paranoid ROM.
I think that with the zagg shield you will be ok. The case has already a tight fit so its better not to use extra protection underneeth. I dont think you need zagf shield for the back cover because its already protected from the case.

Do you guys mean the material of the case degraded? This is all one-piece right? I was JUST shopping for my first bumper case and saw some aluminum ones that snap or screw together, but it seemed like the TPU ones are just a single piece of material and wrap around the edges.

If it is anything like the one for the Galaxy Nexus (and it appears to be the same), there is a hard plastic material used on the rear portions of the bumper, while the piece which surrounds the screen is flexible rubber. With the GN, the two materials separated.
is it easy to take it in and out of your pant pocket

i dont know for sure, but i think that it is going to work because the case is thin on the bottom. :good:
Thanks for the review, I ended up buying the same one but in white. I'm guessing they come from china because this thing isn't going to arrive for like three weeks haha. Oh well whatever.
My clear diztronic tpu case is starting to turn yellow and blue from my jeans so I really need something else. For three bucks I hope it holds up for a little while.
Do you think the the bezel or screen would get damaged if I dropped it from pocket height and it hit the corner on cement? Just wondering if I should still be extra careful when using this bumper.

i got mine in less than 3 weeks becuase the seller shipped the case in an envelope (like a mail). for three bucks its a bargain.

Need Something Similar To Otterbox

I really need some advice, I usually swear by OtterBox but they have of course not released any cases for the 10 and if you listen to them they say that they don't have it in their plans. So my question is what is the best case I get as an alternative to an OtterBox? I'm looking for something with a similar level of protection. I tried the unicorn beetle pro but I don't like it because there's plastic on the back of the case that makes it very slippery when placed on a surface, I miss the grip that the OtterBox had on the back of the case. Also I need a belt clip.
I just ordered one of these
http://www.amazon.com/Holster-Protec...ilpage_o00_s00
What worries me however is that cheap price
What recommendations do you guys have? Thank you so much in advance

The Amazon side seems to be unavailable already...
Well, I'm an otterbox fan too. Sad there are no news about an otterbox for the 10. Check out the specific thread about cases... Just found something similar to Otterbox there...
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...etle htc 10&qid=1462899739&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1
Maybe that will cover our needs until there will be an otterbox in the future.
I ordered also an Incipio dual pro case, which is really nice but not so good like otterbox. I still don't have the device.. But the cases :laugh:
What I can't recommend is oeago double layer case... Ordered that too, but this is really hard plastic and I guess the device will get scratches easily with that one.
Edit... Just reread your post :angel:... Didn't saw your review about the Unicorn... Just ordered that one... So you don't recommend it?
Get this, you'll thank me later: http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...qid=1463161450&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+10+supcase
Only thing I would recommend you do is remove the screen protector from the case (it's just held on with glue) that way you can use whatever protector you choose. These cases are WAY better than Otterboxes.
i have the unicorn beetle ( above post links) its just a good as a otter box you will not be disappointed. best case I found for the 10 so far imo
In my original post I said that I have already tried that case

Weird question, but can you put the phone in the belt clip with the screen facing out?
Hopefully that works, second question does it hold well?

The belt clip holds absolutely fine, I'm pretty sure that you can put the phone in the case either way but I think it's specifically designed to be put in with the screen facing inward. The only complaint I have the back of the phone is not 100% all silicone. The back of the case has hard plastic on it that makes it slide across surfaces very easily
It's worth mentioning that the phone does not clip into the belt holster as firmly as OtterBox's do, I think it's pretty clear that the case is considered a clone. Be careful because I would say that if you drop the phone from more than about maybe 10 feet in the air it may pop out of the belt clip

I would but unfortunately I do not have the case anymore, I returned it this morning out of frustration. As good as they try to be the sad truth is there is just no replacement for an OtterBox. I guess this is just the consequence of buying a phone so early, I'm hoping that within the next few months OtterBox releases a defender series Case for this phone, as soon as they do I'm all all over it
I'll try to explain as best I can, the belt clip on the beetle does not snap in, it is more of a friction fit I'm almost certain that you can put the phone in with the screen facing outward however when you do you will have to touch the screen with your fingers in order to get it out of the belt clip. The case is really a knockoff of the OtterBox defender, I had high hopes for it when I ordered it as well and despite the fact that I tried to get myself to like it I just couldn't
it says it will damage it if you do it face forward. waiting for jcase to return my phone so couldn't try it

You really returned it because it would slide around on it's back? Are you usually on a boat or something that would cause things that are laying on a flat surface to slide around on their own cause I honestly don't understand why that would be an issue, but in the past there would be pads of TPU on the corners of the phone so it would never have been able to do something like that.
Anyway, if a belt clip wasn't so important I would recommend Supcase's Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case (once it finally comes out) It's the other's little brother and is my absolute go-to for my past 4 or so devices. It is similar to the UAG cases, but they look and feel much better.
To be honest the protection that your case and the Otterbox offers is complete overkill. Btw, I absolutely hate the rubber material that Otterbox uses... talk about junk.

I understand your point of view don't get me wrong. Yes I really returned it because it would slide around on its back, I need a casecase with some kind of grip. I don't go on a boat or anything but I'm in a wheelchair and I've had several instances where things started sliding around whenever I'm doing what I need to do. To be honest I've been using OtterBox's for so long that I've gotten used to them. I know where you're coming from when you talk about the silicone but to be honest I've never had any issue with OtterBox giving me a hard time about replacing it for me when need be
Some people consider the protection that an OtterBox defender offers as being overkill but I remember back in 2015 I accidentally ran over my OtterBox and I'll tell you what after that I was convinced that the case had just paid for itself, I had to get a new one because the case was broke but the phone was completely fine
