Probably going to look for a two piece case though as it keeps popping up the screen protector at the edges.

That's why I got one with a flappy front. Which is not entirely as annoying as I thought it would be.

Got the tough armor one. Probably going to look for a two piece case though as it keeps popping up the screen protector at the edges.


The clear thin case I got did that too. I just sanded the edges that rubbed. Fixed it right up.

One of my wireless chargers crapped out over the weekend. Amazon refund in progress and looking for a different one now.

I picked up 2 Sammy quick chargers and they've been pretty decent thus far.
I keep one at home and 1 in the office.

Just got a sammy wireless charger on sale for replacement of the other brand that broke. Hooked it up and found that the sammy is strong enough to charge with the magnetic shell still on the phone, albeit not in fast mode. Removing the magnetic shell switches it into fast mode wireless charging.

I think it's a Samsung thing, it shows on the notification pulldown. Next time I see it I'll click to see what screen loads up.

You made out better than if purchasing directly from T-mobile.
I'm waiting on some new promos to take part in ;) hopefully when the Note 7 comes out.

Man, I've been having a heck of a time finding a good deal on a Galaxy S7 for the wifey. I just can't justify spending almost $700 on an unlocked US S7, and I'd rather have a usable warranty in the event we have an issue with the device.

Also, the used phones on Swappa right are hit or miss with most of them being misses.

Someone sell me their S7 for a cheap, cheap price. Yes?

So I have never owned a Samsung phone before, and have been a long time iPhone and Sony mobile user.

But, I was just about to buy the X Performance and somehow I'm drawn to the Galaxy S7 Edge. I'd like to buy one with a very minimalist protector, not one of those overlay flaps. Any of you on the more minimalist side of phone protection? I've never bought one for a phone but this has also led me to fairly frequent upgrade cycles.

I'd also like to buy a wireless charger for the office - any recommendations here too, or are they all pretty much equal?

The Samsung leather case is nice, likewise the Samsung wireless charging stand.

You're going to struggle to find a decent screen protector though. If you're after a glass one you're out of luck, there isn't one.

Have one of each. Not sure how much I like the edge even after the second iteration.

Will have the Note 7 soon enough when it hits our testing lab.
