If you were to get the Clear View case, always make sure you have a screen protector first. There's various cases of the hard plastic flip scratching the screen for previous Clear View cases (for S6 Edge, Note 5, etc.)

Anyhow, the Clear View is indeed way more beautiful than the S-View cover. The S-View actually spoils the look of the S7 edge, to be honest.

Thanks for finding out more about this.

Since you mentioned "3. After screen replacement, IF YOU wet your phone and water sips through. Samsung DOES NOT cover the warranty.", so does this mean that Samsung WILL cover the warranty for wet / water-seap damage for S7 edge units which have not been repaired before?

In this regard, Samsung should actually do both the rubber glue / seals and fully nano-coat the internal electronics such as Liquipel or using Motorola's proprietary nano-coating to make the electronics water-resistant.

But then again, nano-coats alone cannot really provide full IP68 performance (IIANM) and they may have their own shortcoming too (e.g. heat dissipation may no longer be good).

That's good to know.

Another thing to ponder. If someone submerges their S7 edge inside water beyond the specified depth-limit and for longer than 30 minutes, and water does go into the S7 edge, will Samsung still cover the warranty? I'm not sure if Samsung can detect such 'misuses'.

Sony probably learnt their lesson on this too and that's why they are no longer mentioning that their phones are waterproof.

Nice!

Care to share what apps you disabled exactly so that we can learn too?

The best protection for s7 edge against drops would be to use those bulky flip cases as in your photo but with a buckle or clasp for the flip to prevent it from opening by itself when dropped.

Due to s7 edge's extreme fragility, I'm not sure if the Spigen Rugged Armor or Otterbox back covers can actually protect it from drop damage.

I really do miss those day when I had the Note Edge. The Edge panel truly does light up and show notifications by itself. No need any genie swipe to bring it up.

Pure Android is always better than TouchWiz. If the S7 edge had a pure Android variant, then it would be the perfect phone. Oh well, one day, maybe one day.

Just received call from Samsung outsourced call-agent on the confirmation on e-warranty but only 1 year. He said that if I'm part of the pre-order first 1000 customers with 2 year warranty, I should be receiving another SMS from Samsung within the next few weeks.

Kind of a pointless move by Samsung on the calls, since I already received the 1-year e-warranty SMS from Samsung just a few days after I collected my S7 edge.

So far so good for my Celcom line on my S7 edge.

This is my signal strength:-

I've been S6 edge Gold user and Note 5 Gold user (no chance to try Note 5 Silver since it was launched later). Now no regrets with Black Onyx on S7 edge.

This looks similar to Bodyguardz or Clear Coat type of protection? If yes, then it is very very difficult to apply properly. Even Clear Coat themselves sometimes need to reapply once or twice as there may be bubble issues or non-stick parts which you can't really see until the installation solution has dried up after a few hours.

The Clear Coat staff at Pavilion applied for me. And yes, even professional staff like them also have problems with it. So I can imagine how much worse it will be for the average user to install.

What's the casing brand and name?

Sorry to hear that, bro

U didnt install any SP?

I can confirm this.

Despite its shortcomings, no regrets getting Clear Coat for my S7 edge.

If you didn't put the cup on top of your screen, I guess there would be no issue?

I was advised by the Clear Coat staff that receipt is a must.

And he advised me to snap a photo of it and just show him whenever I want to replace my Clear Coat.

One of the reasons I avoided getting titanium silver. Any scratches on this colour or gold are far more visible than on black onyx.
