Best design yet
Looks nice, but slick materials and no sharp edges make it almost impossible to use with a single hand and not drop it.
do we need to talk about its aesthetic? lol
They completely ruined the design with the Samsung logo on the front.
I love it. Simply love it.
The beautiful high-end design, looks just stunning.
I dont get what you say about the logo, and for the one complaining about that it cant be used with one hand, is wrong.
I got a very small hand, but i have no problems at all using it with one hand. There even is a feature to one hand.
And the camera, uff, that auto focus is insanely fast and just takes beautiful Pictures in the dark. Never seen anything like it.
10/10, really love it.

Agreed but so does most phones =( Though i read s7 edgein some Asia markets doesnt come with logo in front.
When you look at it, it looks great, but the actual ergonomy is quite bad. No grip at all, very slippery. If the side metal frame had some kind of etching on them, the grip would have been considerably improved and the looks would have been preserved.
When I leave my phone with AoD, as people pass by they will literally just say "Woah." It's truly a beautifully designed phone.
hard to choose between black or gold as there is no silver in europe atm.
Looks great, but between the glass back, slippery surface, and fingerprint magnet surface this is the first phone I've used a case on. But I got a nice, clear TPU case so the style shows through, it adds little bulk, and makes the phone easier to hold. I do wonder, though, when manufacturers will wise up to the fact the we actually need to hold these devices in our hands, and they should be easy to grip, not hard.
Maybe it's a conspiracy between the manufacturers of phones and the manufacturers of cases.

Same here!
I love the design. That's what attracted me the most the S7 Edge. I really wanted the black 1 at first, but they were out of the stock. I ended up with the silver one, I could not be any happier I love the color now I feel like the silver surfer with it

It is a wonder of a phone: original, avant-garde and yet classic. It is a stunner looking piece of human engineering and so perfect in everyday use. 12/10. It is worth every extra penny to get hold of the good looks.

Same, I'd have chosen black anyway though. Silver just looks cheap. I've noticed that the black really is black with S7 though unlike the S6 which looked blue-ey under light. Best looking phone available for me.
*Beyonce Voice* FLAWLESS
Great looking phone. Feels great in the hand even tho its a bit slippery.
Buttons position nicely. Good that the power button is a bit lower then the vol down.
Camera and heart sensor are place good. Had problems with the note edge. Camera lense would get dirty or reader wouldnt read.
Nice faded app and back button. I have the black oxny so its nice to not have white buttons at the bottom.
Trim around the phone looks greaf and gives it a more metal look.
Ports at the bottom of then phone all look great and gives the phone a premium feel.
Overall samsung nailed it.
For God's sakes, it's a phone. And I am an adult. I couldn't care less what it looks like, I care how it works. Leave the nonsense to the iPhone fanboys, they can spend days discussing how the antenna lines affect the look.
One of the best desighns ive seen
best looking phone thus far!

Well, I have been in depth testing this case for the past month and a half, spending time with it off the phone and on. For those of you who don't want to read a long review and just want the verdict, here it is: THIS CASE IS AMAZING!!!
I was given the opportunity to review one of the Cruzer Lite TPU cases for our Rezound, and I am in love. I have never used a TPU case before, but I know I will be again in the future. In my review, I will cover 2 main points: Design, and Protection. Please excuse me as I do not have any pictures at this time, as I am traveling and took this opportunity to see how the phone feels without the case.
1. Design:
This case has a very good design. It is very thin, and it has generous cutouts for the power button and headset jack. My only problem with the case so far is that the volume buttons are a little difficult to press. The case feels very good in the hand, and feels much like a hard silicone case. It does not slip, does not attract lint or dust, and fits the phone perfectly. It adds minimal thickness to the phone, and comes in many cool colors. The color that I was given to review is the red version with the little Android logos printed on the back. The case looks and feels very sturdy and durable.
GRADE: 9/10 (Volume buttons can be a bit of a hassle, but you can easily cut that area out with an xacto knife.)
2. Protection:
This case offers serious protection. I would put it on the levels of the Otterbox and Speck series of cases. I constantly drop my phone, and the Cruzer Lite case has always protected the phone from receiving physical damage or damage to the internal parts (I hope ). The case itself also receives little to no damage.
GRADE: 10/10
So, to review:
Design grade: 9/10. Awesome looking case and feels great. Only took off the point because the volume buttons are a bit difficult to press
Protection grade: 10/10. This case offers maximum protection while providing minimal thinness to the device.
TOTAL GRADE: 9.5/10
Solid case. Great price. Great look and feel. Great protection.
I will upload some pictures when I get home from KC on Friday.
Have fun guys
I would agree 100% with this review. I have the same case (different color) and I absolutely love it. Can't beat the value either. My only gripe was the volume buttons much like you said. I cut mine out with an xacto knife and wasnt happy with the outcome so I ordered another case and plan to leave the volume area alone. I have yet to drop my phone (fingers crossed) so I can't vouch for the protection, but everything else about the case is amazing. Great product.
Great review
def awesome cases; i push them with every phone i sell at the store..people love the little android design on them
my daily driver for weeks has been the dark blue with androids on the back. LOVE it. just wish the volume buttons were less of a hassle !

JOEL, that is AWESOME! make those for the rezound, and i'm sure we will love them. i'll def buy one to show matt if you do make them for the rezound.
maybe we can work out those volume-button kinks *maybe completely remove them like the power button, with enough room to get your thumb in there to turn it up/down*
Not a big fan of phone cases because I want my phone to be as small as possible..... But I'm very impressed! I could rock one of those for sure! How much?

Cover Official Samsung
Here's the official cover galaxy tab........ http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/samsung-p6800-galaxy-66908p.html
Official Samsung Bookcase cover
I received my Samsung bookcover for the 7.7. I gotta say it's not as good as either the bookcover for the OG 7" or the 10.1. The back and the front are two distinct grades of material, and the front just kind of flops around. The cutout on the spine for the power button looks odd, and I don't know why anyone would want to power on the screen without opening the cover. Does the power button answer voice calls? You also have to keep it open to a fairly tight angle when using it to prop the tab for viewing or else it will slide and fall. The cover for the 7" was more solid and let you keep the tablet propped up in landscape mode at much wider angle. Another qualm is that the hardened edges don't cover the whole top right corner.
Still, the fit around the back of the tab is quite good. It does creak a bit but I suppose fitting anything around the thin form factor won't be perfect (as opposed to a case that the tab is fully enclosed in). The material quality is decent and it doesn't detract too much from the sleekness of the naked tab.
All in all, it's not a bad case and probably the best one available at this early stage. I'd just give it a C+ to the OG 7" bookcase's A.
To be honest, with such a wonderfully crafted, thin device as this is, I think that adding a case to it somewhat detracts from the overall design beauty. That's just my opinion though

I agree, sort of. But 1) I like to be able to have the device prop itself up to watch videos and the folding case works well for that, 2) Scratches on shiny expensive gear are worse than boiling puppies alive. The Tab pops out of the Samsung case easily enough if you admire the exterior.
the stock samsung case is very minimalistic and is very slick!
Is it worth the price?
I've been reading mixed opinions. Don't know what to think. :/
I'll be ordering it soon from Negri.
I will post mine when it arrive
Plssssss helppp needed then is the Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 coming to Singapore :'(
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium
@dickyohyk you can try sgbest.com
Don't think it's worth 55 pounds, as advertised, but all in all it's very nice.
I've got my as a preorder bonus with my 7.7, I really like the quality, the top right corner is really not covered (that's odd, seems like they though of a stylus over there...). Also I miss some smartcover-like magnetic lock, but that's not a killer drawback. As for the cutout for power button, I think it's made to prevent accidental turn on when closed, by pushing on the side. Also, I would prefer book-like openning not the current way.
just received the stock samsung 7.7 case (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006T15BGM)

I believe the design of the 7.7 with the power and volume controls on the right side dictated where the hinge is for the book cover case .
Think about it.....If it opened right to left ,then the power and volume buttons would be on the bottom and subject to being accidentily activated when using it as a stand in landscape mode, as it would be sitting on them.Also they couldn't be used sitting on the bottom.
I've had it on since the second day I owned my 7.7 and got used to the left to right opening now. I do really love it's tight fitting, minimalist design and keeps the tab nice and thin.Feels good in my hands and gives more grip when gaming and surfing, works great as a stand and gives some protection for this beautiful screen when transporting it.
I'm not big on the other generic designs that are out there for the 7.7 right now. If you look at ones selling on Ebay ,the sellers are selling the exact one for the 7 inch ones too and look bulky.If something better comes out then I would consider it down the road but I think this is the best one out so far .
agreed, you wouldn't be able to use it as a stand if it opened the other way.
i like the way it opens

tab 7.7 case.
Im not very impressed with mine:
1: Dont like the fact it opens the wrong way. I agree they couldnt design it any other way but still dont like it.
2. After about a week the grips that keep it steady when standing up starts slipping on various surfaces. So tab keeps falling flat.
3: No option to put it in the tipical slighly tilted for typing possition like the case for tab 8.9 or 10.1
4. I can already see small cracks in the flexible rubber (hinge bit) and the cut open bit at the power button. For this price I was expecting way more.
Argh. All these mixed reviews of the OEM book cover is getting me quite confused. I don't really think I should shell out the amount of money they're asking for the case...
Maybe I'll just get an envelope/pouch from Timbuk2 or other makers while waiting for that perfect case with the multi-view angles.
As for the cover opening the "wrong" way, I think it's the right way from where the Tab was made. Most East Asia books DO operate like that. Especially mangas

I have the 8.9 with the book case. Is it the same sleek design and same thinness as the 8.9 case?
I've got the book cover the same day I got my 7.7 and first I didn't like it. The hinge was very stiff, the lid wasn't flush with the back when flipped around completely. But now I'm used to it and it's ok.
But:
- when the lid was flipped to the back for a longer time you can see the top (rubberlike) material delaminating from the hard bit inside in the hinge area
- when the lid is flipped to the back it's rather wobbly. I'm used to hold the Tab in my right hand with resting it on my spread little finger. But then the lid is always moving about and just feels quite assuring.
But it's a lot better than the Samsung pouch, which is simply waste of money.
The d30 leather pouch for the old Tab was way better but of course wasn't as light and space saving and you could always loose it when you were using the Tab.
Just got my Case today.
From all the horror stories I have been reading about it I thought it was going to be horrible but I like it so far.
First off:
It is incredibly thin and light. Adds almost no bulk at all.
Tab fits very well in the case and my hinge is not stiff at all so folds over very easily.
I dont like:
- all the corners except the top right are protected. So if you were to drop it on that corned it will dent the device.
- I actually dont like the cut out for the power. The material sticks out a little when the case is closed. Wish they didnt have cut out for it.
Besides that I think its really good. I dont think you will find another book case that will be as thin as this one.

Well yes and know. Just as sleek but the big difference is the fact that it only has one stand position unlike tab 8.9 and 10.1 design that has two. One upright and one slightly tilted/flat to type. Not sure how to explain it. Hope you understand what I mean...
I, too, like its sleekness and light weight, but I have to say I wouldn't spend $40+ again -- I think it's way overpriced for what it offers -- and that's after having numerous tablets and similar cases (most selling for under $25. If you can afford to wait for the market to catch up I'd recommend not buying this one.

This place had the best price I could find. This was recommended by another member on here.

I ordered it and got confirmation on shipping too. Hence a reputable company to order from.
Thanks for the links...
If you want an alternative to the stock Samsung case I ran across this one on Ebay. Looks OK

Going to give one of these a go - Will post up some pics once it gets here, but I'm not expecting anything too fancy for that price.
None of the others caught my eye and I regularly flip between portrait and landscape.

Samsung case
Just got mine (from the cell guru) and I actually like it.
good quality and not too bulky (can still hold it with one hand easily)
for $30, I'm not sure we can find a lot better
O
I got mine today from CellGuru along with the GT 7.7 from NegriElectronics!
So stoked!
I noticed on the plastic box it came in that it had an illustration for Keyboard Mode along with Media-Viewing Mode.
Anybody find out how the Keyboard Mode is supposed to work? It looks like it's propping the Tab up several inches.
I think Keyboard Mode is a mistake. There's really no way this thing can be propped up that way unless you just put something between the two sides.
Here's another case that popped up on ebay. Looks interesting, still debating if I should buy one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360-Rotatin...976?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a18c67618
I love the Samsung Case. It is quite svelt. I don't like that you only really have one angle to stand but it still looks awesome and as others have mentioned you still get a feel for how thin and light this tablet is.
Full disclosure: The guys over at Cruzerlite helped out Carbon when no one had heard of use by donating a few free cases so we could run some giveaways on our social networks. We went to them because we liked their product and the way that they interacted with the Android community. They were so excited about their new skin product that they arranged to ship a MotoX and one of their skins to me so that I might review it and give them, and you, my honest feedback. The device and skins have been since sent back to them. I was not paid or otherwise compensated for this review. Mostly I just wanted to check out a new product, have an excuse to play with a Moto X, and play with the lightbox I built last week.
I hate cases. To me, they've always been a necessary evil. I generally go with the thinnest TPU case I can find so I know my phone will be protected, and try and find one that actually looks cool. Which is why I've always liked the Cruzerlite cases. Very android friendly, and there were always lots of looks to choose from - android themes, art, etc. My favorite was the Tardis case. I was always very careful with my device. But scratches and things happen, and like many of you I never plan to stay with one device for more than a year or so. That means you gotta keep it looking like new so you can sell it later.
To me, that's the niche that the Cruzerlite skins occupy. If you drop your phone all the time this product isn't going to keep you from denting it or smashing the glass. It's vinyl, not TPU. If you're a purist who insist on rocking a totally naked phone, this product also isn't for you. If you're one of the many who hate cases but want to protect the phone in some way, or are confident in your ability to not drop your phone but want a custom look, then this product is where it's at. It'll protect your device from light damage, give you any look you want, and preserve the size and feel of your device.
The product comes in the form of thick vinyl stickers. As it's a brand new product they don't yet have a set of instructions on the site. They tell me they have that in the works and we should see them soon. With that in mind, I'll overshare my installation process and what I learned for you folks. Cruzerlite clearly wanted to make sure that you'd be happy with the installation of this product, so they've given you a single sticker for the back, two sets of stickers for the sides, and three sets for the front. You can screw this up and try again without ordering a new set. Note that I say stickers, but this is actually vinyl of a nice thickness, not some elmo sticker you'd get from the doctor after a checkup.
So having checked out both the vinyl and the Moto X I setup my lightbox and got down to business. I applied the back vinyl, taking great care to align the camera and microphone. It worked, after a fashion - it looked like a sticker slapped on a phone. A phone with a lot of curves. So far... meh. I stuck the sides on as well. It looked... like a bunch of stickers slapped on a phone. They didn't conform to the curves of the phone at all. So I called up Joel at Cruzerlite and told him that while I thought he had a nice idea, this was probable something that would only work on a phone with simple surfaces like an iphone. I showed him how it looked and he asked me when I was planning to finish the installation. Finish the installation? What? Heat. You apply heat after installation. Ohhhhhh. For a guy who was just told that his half-installed product wasn't very good, he was pretty cool about it. Thanks Joel.
Ok, so with that in mind, I dug out the hair dryer and got to heating. It looked a lot better. With a bit of heat and some pressure with my fingers, the vinyl conformed to the curves of the device and started to look like they belonged there. That said, because I installed them like they were stickers, there were gaps. Teal gaps. It didn't look great - but that was on me.
You might want to color match better than I did. Teal and
wood grain aren't known for being a classic combination.
So the first install didn't look so great. The vinyl was curved to match the phone, but I had ugly gaps that ruined the look. When I put the sides on, I aligned things like I would with regular stickers - not heat shrinking vinyl. But Cruzerlite clearly anticipated that, so I had more! Off came the vinyl on the sides and and back to square one. This time, I made sure there was some overlap so that when heat was applied, it would properly fit. Here's what it looked like:
You can already tell it's going to come out better this time. Out comes the hair dryer!
Now we're talking. No gaps, all the buttons are nicely cut out... it looks great. Again, the color combination shows why I'm not ever going to be a graphic designer, but it certainly highlights just how well the product fits the device. There's a slight edge where the vinyl on the sides and the back overlap. It's not unpleasant, but I'd like to play with this product some more to see if I could even avoid that. I've asked Cruzerlite to send me a few more and another phone, and hope to have a follow up on this in the future.
Yes, it has front stickers. The great thing about this product is it's up to you what you apply - if you don't want the front stickers, don't put them on. You could even mix and match them if you wanted. Get different colors and make the phone version of this:
Yes, that's a real thing. It's a Harlequin Golf and comes
that way from the factory. Please don't do this to your phone.
So after installing and playing with this, I like it. The vinyl is thick enough to feel like a high quality and durable product and on the whole I found it to be easier to apply than a screen protector. Sure, it's a bit tricky to align, but you don't have to worry about dust and the use of heat makes this a relatively forgiving product. I'm certain that I didn't do a perfect job with this, but I don't hate it the way you'd hate a screen protector with a bit of dust under it. I did manage to tweak the back a bit when applying it, and you can see the bulge from it. Again, this is something that I'd be able to differently now that I know how the product works so I'm not particularly concerned about it.
Cruzerlite has a whole range of vinyl to choose from too - 57 at the time of this review. There's wood grain, antibacterial colors, metallic, and leather skins. We're spoiled for choice and if you can't find something you like you might want to ask yourself why you're so picky.
I'd say this is a buy. They look great, feel great, and will do a fantastic job of protecting your phone from light damage. They're easy to apply, and at just under ten dollars you can't beat the price. For those of you who picked up a Moto X before Motomaker was a thing, this is a great way to change your phone's look without buying a new one, or get the look of wood without paying an extra hundred bucks for a single woodgrain option. (bamboo? seriously?) At the time of this review, the skins are available for the Moto X, Nexus 5, Note 3, Galaxy S4, and iPhone 5/5s.
I'll update this thread in the future if I can get my hands on another device and more vinyl. If possible I'll try something other than wood grain, too.
Check out the rest of their skins at http://www.cruzerlite.com/skins
It looks like a great idea. I also hate cases. The Note 3 is the first phone in a long time that i've kept a case on (mainly because I paid full price for it).
I can't imagine that the vinyl provides any level of protection, right? It sure does look good though. Maybe you should pop a link at the end of the review for people who want to buy one. I'm gonna search for it now and see what the price is and what other colors/patterns they have.
against drops? no. minimal. against scratches? absolutely. It's nice and thick. it's definitely better than going naked.

How did you get your note 3 to look like a Moto X that is some skin?!:silly:
I picked up the Speck StyleFolio for the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2".
It will fit the Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2" as well. The only issue, is that the location where the S-pen would be, remains open.
Everything else is great.
I had the Samsung flip case but I didn't like the lack of support it seemed to provide.
It looked like they just enlarged the 10.1" case with out doing any engineering.
The Samsung case seemed to sag to me. It couldn't support the large tablet correctly.
I really like this case.
The clasp ensures that your tablet is safe if you are walking around and accidentally drop it.
I've been using this for a few weeks now and just changed it out. It doesn't have a way to sit at a slight angle (15-20 degrees).
BTW-That cubicle looks really familiar...Texas Instruments??

That is probably the only thing I dont like about it.
I liked being able to put it at a slight angle and type.
I dont work at TI, it's actually about 30 min from there.
I use a similarly designed case by moko, a similar one for my 10.1 2014 (fintie), and the same style for my note 8 (poetic) I love the design, toughness and quality of all three, which i bought from amzn for about $10 each. I'd pay three times that if I had to.

Not much at all. I've had this for about three weeks now I guess and I am really happy about it.
I really like the protection around all the corners and the clip that locks it closed.
It is too expensive for what it is, but I got mine at Verizon for 25% off with my corporate discount.
