The bodies look so similar. I'm wondering if my S6 cases will fit on the S7? Or if anyone has purchased an S7 case that fits on an S6 would be nice to hear as well. I own several cases for my S6 that are headed for the trash can if they don't fit.
Will S6 case fit on S7?

I don't think cases will fit because the dimensions are slightly different (+ there are edges on the back).
The S7 is about 1 mm thicker, but also 1mm less in height and width.
I am wondering whether pouches would still be good for it though since they probably can adapt if the space the phone takes as a whole is the same.

no , i have tried several cases on my S6
the s7 cases will keep pressing the power button ,so it can not fit
No, the cases wont fit them as the dimensions are different. Try a custom leather case from Story Leather, theyre custom made leather cases
Just to update. I received my Galaxy S7 yesterday and S6 cases are not compatible. The speaker, microphone, and headphone jack are in different locations. Along with the phone itself being slightly thicker than the S6. Nice phone though!
i have a mophie and mine fits but the camera is right on the cut out point . phone charges and everything ..ill post pics soon
It really depends on the case. I just got s7 and I had s6 previously - some of the cases fit with no problem. 
Seriously, they are not the same. The dimension of the S7 case is 9 x 5 x 0.4 inches. S6's dimension is 6.8 x 3.5 x 0.8 inches.
But i think they could be mounted forcibly. S6 and S7 have the same location of earphone slot, the usb slot and the camera lens.
I don't know how you're going to forcibly fit a 9" tall s7 into a 6.8" tall s6's case, but good luck!
it almost fit ,but the buttons are a little bit mismatch
so you need to make a decision tho

Lol , good reaction to the post , lol
Haha. I know i will get a humour reply like this. Actually i checked the dimension on Amazon and i found it different in different listings. Some say it's 6.8 x 5 x 0.4, some say it's 8 x 5 x 0.4.
Anyway S6 and S7 have almost the same dimension so i put a 'forcibly' barely in my last reply.
I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my S6 and it 'fit' on the S7. I say 'fit' because it mostly worked. But the camera area wasn't right and the side buttons were just slightly off. I only used it because they hadn't come out with their S7 model yet. I've since made the switch.
I just upgraded to an S7 and the only S6 case I was able to use is the one that Samsung sold for the S6 that basically just clips around the four corners. I like that one because it leaves the sides clear without any lip to get in the way. The others wouldn't fit due to the slightly different shape and the ports are not lined up. My clip case doesn't line up perfect either but it works for now. Meh.
Nothing that a sharp xacto knife can't help you achieve. Did that with two different cases and they both work. Ghetto but they work. The power button doesn't hit full on, but if you're able to do it sideways it works fine. Good enough until you find a case that you fall in love, if not keep doing it sideways...
