Hi,

I am using a Gadgetshieldz screen protector on my S7. I am looking for a case/back cover something like this-

https://www.amazon.in/Sandstone-Qui...36912&sr=8-5&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s7+cover
just to cover the back part of the phone and to get some grip. I have ordered like hundred's of cases from different websites but they mess up the protector eventually. Can you guys please suggest any case which won't mess up the protector? The thickness of the case don't matter as I just need it for the grip.

Thanks

I literally just went to Walmart and got the 2 layer and also the 1 layer protection case from bodyglove. For just that reason. Protect the sides and back but don't mess up my protector. It leaves a slight gap between the screen protector and the case so it will never mess it up. Perfect for me. And wireless charging still works. The cases are cheap and do exactly what I want.

Can you share the photos of your case?
I ordered more cases in the meantime and the result was the same. I saw someone having a s8 and his case having edges only on the top and bottom. The sides weren't having any protection. Are those kinda cases available for the s7?

I could but it's my only way to take pics so not with the phone in it which defeats the purpose lol. I'll see if I can take pics tomorrow with someone else's phone and text them to myself. If you go to Walmarts website and search for s7 cases or s7 bodyglove cases it's probably the 2 cheapest ones they sell haha. They are super thin and like silicone. Perfect for me. I'll try to get pics with the phone in the case tomorrow.

Unfortunately Walmart in my area is not selling the same. But if I get the photos I can ask the sellers on eBay to arrange a case like that for me. Will wait for the photos. I tried a case last night also and it was crap. The cases that they have for the s7 edge in which the sides don't have any case protection just the lower and upper part of the phone, I am eyeing that for the s7.

I use the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle - it is a combination grip-case and snap-in holder (the case snaps into the holder, which clips on). The audio and power jacks have covers, but they can be uncovered to access those jacks - that means that the cover can be left on. The sides are neoprene, and the back and holder are hard plastic (all in basic black). $12.99 USD @ Amazon.

By the looks of it, it will also mess up the protector installed

I like my Speck Candyshell case. It's stout enough to offer good protection, while still being pocket friendly. It's kind of a pain to insert/remove the phone since it's a very tight fit, but it doesn't interfere at all with my Walmart brand tempered glass screen protector.

I'm thinking of getting one. How is it holding up for you? specifically are the rubber strips coming off? or the gloss plastic prone to scratches?

This is a good fit and I think if you have a screen protector just on the screen then it shouldn't be a problem.

Agam it is good considering there is no tempered glass alternative but one thing I would like to suggest you my brother please do not go for any kind of cover from the market because I have tried like millions of them and every cover will eventually mess up your screen protector and the strips on the sides. Bottomline do not use any cover if you are using gadgetshieldz protector.

Oh I was worried about that, I think you should install a skin at the back. Like a leather or sandstone one.

If you find a good tempered glass for s7 in india, do mention it. Since Samsung had the offer of 1 yr screen replacement, I'm braving it without any screenguard right now.

I have installed the complete set of Gadgetshieldz which covers the phone 360 degrees. There is no tempered glass for these curved/fully curved phones, period. I would suggest you to install GS protector. It will be better than having no protector at all.

After 3-4 months of use, the rubber is still perfect. Since I live in the Arizona desert, there's sand everywhere, so there are many tiny scratches on the rear glossy plastic. If you're not in an area where literally everything is coated in a fine, abrasive sand, I have a feeling the plastic would probably show considerably less wear with normal usage. All in all, I've been very satisfied with the Candyshell. For a $7 clearance item I found at Walmart, I think I got a steal.
