What screen protectors do you recommend personally? I'm asking because I've used several different type cases for my S4 and like Otterbox Defender the best but I just bought my son a Galaxy S7 and he wants to get the UAG case and we'll be needing some screen protectors. Thanks!

Here's my Defender with the stock screen protector removed and I'm using the ZAGG Curve on the phone. A perfect combination.

Your Galaxy S7 is beautiful, but it’s also fragile. We’d say that using a case is a pretty smart idea. Our friends at Cover-Up offer some amazing real wood cases for the S7 in a range of styles and wood species.
Each #WoodBack case features a hand-finished real wood panel, combining practical protection for
your phone with the beauty of nature. And because Cover-Up only use real wood, each case is always completely unique.
Cover-Up offers 2 styles of #WoodBack case for the S7: the slim-fitting “Snap Case”, and the tougher, more durable “Explorer Case”.
The Snap Case, easily fits onto your S7 and maintains the phone’s slim, lightweight feel. It’s certainly more minimalist in style, with exposed edges and cut-outs for buttons. It looks great, and is sure to offer protection from any accidental knocks.
Cover-Up’s Explorer case is slightly more heavy duty with fully-covered corners and rubber-like TPU edges (including pressable buttons!) to give extra shock absorption as well as added grip. It also features that all-important raised bezel to guard the screen from scratches. Definitely a wise choice for those looking for more in the way of protection from more serious knocks and drops!
A standout in a sea of plastic, the #WoodBack Collection definitely gets a thumbs up from us.

Currently using the Blackened Ash case. It feels really nice and looks great.

So I decided to get a heavy duty case as a backup, so I went with the Poetic Revolution. It'll definitely handle being more rough on the phone, yet it doesn't add much more bulk than the Quarterback series case does.
The case itself is a two piece...there's a hard plastic with the built in screen protector, and then a nice rubbery TPU wraps around it. It's easy to take apart and put together. There's flaps over the bottom of the case to protect the ports, even though since the phone is waterproof it really doesn't need them.
The back is that rubbery TPU, but it's a little bit slick. It's not hard plastic like the quarterback so it has a bit more resistance to sliding around. The sides have nice rubbery grip, and the buttons are easy to push.
I'm not a huge fan of cases with built in screen protectors, but I figured I'd get one to have just in case...but the protector is less than desirable. It accumulates fingerprints much more so than a regular screen protector would. If anything, just like on the Tab S revolution cases, you may want to attempt to cut the built in protector out. I won't bother because I like having full protection incase I ever need it, but it's something to think about.

Does it interfere with wireless charging? My lifeproof fre doesnt but the screen protector on the s7 fre is atrocious. So much so I am using a tech21 at the moment without a screen cover.

Phone skins are really great to add style to any phone, plus they’re not expensive, but they provide minimal protection if you happen to drop your phone. On the other end of the spectrum are cases, which are generally more expensive but offer much more protection. Cases are bulky and they don’t let the beauty of your phone show through because they often have to cover all four edges as well as the back of the phone.

That’s where CrashGuard by RhinoShield comes in. CrashGuard is essentially a bumper case, which means that it does not cover the back of your phone but only the sides (thus giving your device a more “naked” feel), but because of how it’s engineered, it provides more protection than most cases. CrashGuard is far superior to the bumpers of the past because it has been engineered to absorb impact. This is done by utilizing a proprietary polymer material that is far more shock-absorbent than plastic, and it also has a protective honeycomb structure within the bumper to disperse impact properly. In fact, within the honeycombs are compartments of pressurized air that act as airbags and deflect impact energy. If that sounds really elaborate, it is, and the net result is that you can drop your phone from a variety of heights (up to 11 feet) and if you have a CrashGuard bumper on the phone, you’re going to have a completely unmarked phone. If you want to see how incredible this protection is, watch this video from David Pogue where he does everything in his power to smash his phone by dropping it from a tall ladder.
Not only are CrashGuard bumpers durable, but they’re lightweight (with most of their bumpers coming in under 14 grams). They’re also pretty grippy thanks to the matte finish, and they come in a variety of colors. Another thing we really like about the CrashGuard line is the pricing: The Galaxy S7 bumper is priced at $24.99, and ships free on Amazon.

Being a holster user, and not someone who keeps my phone in a pocket, (work!)
each time I get a new phone I immediately purchase a PDair leather holster.
They are the lowest profile holster you can find.
Most holster use a big bulky plastic clip. Not these.
They come in 5 or 6 different colors.
I did a little comparisons of phone sizes on a few websites, and figured out the iPhone 7+ case works the best.
If you use the coupon code pdair at checkout, you can get it for $37.79 shipped.
Just received the case after about 2 weeks (from China).
Absolutely perfect.
High quality genuine leather, not some fake stuff.
The inside is coated in a soft foam, so works great with or without tempered screen protector.
There's a bottom cutout for speaker, charger, and headphone jack.
The bottom 2 pictures were taken with an iPhone, which is why they look worse. =)

I want something like that but without the clip, just like a sleeve I can put it in for when I chuck the phone in a bag, not found anything yet (in UK anwyay). Dont want some big expensive thing, just a basic sleeve I can put it in to keep it clean from dust and dirt in the bag and give some small protection to it.
Check out nutshell cases from New Zealand.

Easily the best and also the best looking.

You’ve probably seen the insane drop test video. Here is a drop test video with the Galaxy S7 (RhinoShield tells us that they’re working on their S8 drop test video and it’s going to be epic):

The bumper is super-lightweight, weighing at only 12 grams (less than half an ounce) yet it is still fully capable of providing at least the same level of impact protection as many leading brands or any other brick-like case product.
