Anyone use the Noreve S7 Leather case? http://www.noreve.com/en/galaxy-s7/3219-samsung-galaxy-s7-leather-case.html
It looks like the edges are not completely covered.... if I dropped my phone would this protect it from cracking the glass?
Also, newbie question.... can the leather case allow wireless charging?
Hey.
I don't use the case, but it's pretty nice looking! I doubt it would protect your phone if you were to drop it - there's not enough material to absorb the force from the impact, so most of the force would be transferred directly to your phone.
You could, however, use the case when you're at home and swap it for something more protective for when you're going out.
Yes, leather and plastic cases will allow wireless charging, although metal won't.
Do you think it's relevant that the rounded edges aren't completely covered by the case? I believe the Samsung version completely covers the edges. Would that make the Samsung a better case for protection if I drop it?

Is anybody using this case? Comments about it?
Thx.
I use the PDAir case.
I chose it over other flip cases because the TD2 does not reach the outer edge of case. Since the phone fits 'recessed' into the case if you drop it (and it hits the surface on it's edge) the leather will cushion the impact.
Other cases leave the edge around the phone exposed in a fashion that would allow the impact to be taken directly by the phone...even though it is in the case.
I recently purchased Mercury Leather Wallet Case from ebay (Link).
I bought a no-name leather flip case from a local shop (I tried to find the same one on ebay for reference, but failed), and it was very nice case. Good quality leather with little padding. BUT, it didn't have any protection at the top and bottom of the phone. And more importantly, there was a magnet behind the phone on the right side, which interfered with s-pen operation. I started taking out the phone whenever I was home, and then I decided to get a new case.
After searching through sites and ebay, I found this Mercury case. I chose this one because the phone was detachable with a jelly case.
First, the case is not as nice as it looks on the photo. It is not real leather, more like plastic and thin. Stitching is well-done for the most part, but it could be better. The magnet closure is using glue and it is already coming apart. I will have to superglue it or tape it up. It can hold up to 4 credit cards, but it barely closes.
The best part of this case is the jelly case. It is better quality than the usual TPU case. It is slippery to slide in and out of my pockets, but provides good grip in my hands. The phone wiggles just slightly in the jelly case, but a very good fit. On the leather case, there is a silicon-based sticky pad, where the jelly case sticks onto. I have had the jelly case on and off multiple times, but it still holds the case very nicely. If I needed to, I can wipe it with a wet towel to clean it.
And here is the second issue. The cutout for camera/speaker/s-pen is slightly out of alignment. If I align the phone to the cutout, outside edge of the phone is at a slight angle from the leather case. If I align the phone to the outside edge of the leather case, camera is off to the side of cutout. It doesn't affect the camera operation, but it is an issue nonetheless.
For the price, I think it is a very good value, because you also get a very good quality jelly case. When I go out, I stick the phone into the flip case. When I am the office or home, I take it out for easy access to the phone.
Oh, it also came with a screen protector, but I already have one on, so I don't know what it is like.

I just learned that the jelly case included in Mercury Wallet case is exactly the same material as SGP Ultra Capsule Series. I had them side-by-side.
They both seem to be from Korea, so these cases may just have different branding.
I'm not usually one to use a cases on my electronic devices. I like my phones like I like my women, naked with a nice screen protector.
But since the G3 seems to be made of some of the most slippery plastic I've ever held, I dropped it a few feet the other day and slightly nicked the corner of it. So I'm looking for a very simple case, but as I said in the title, I'm picky.
It doesn't need to protect it all that much, but one thing I can't stand is when the case comes up over the edge of the screen. I'll use an example of a case that someone posted on the "Show us your case" thread:

See that slight "rim" around the edge of the bezel? It bothers me, which is why the two cases I've already bought are sitting at home unused. I need it to be flush, or even recessed from the front of the phone.
Does anyone know of a fairly basic case that won't have anything protruding up around the edges of the screen? I'd love one of those official replacement back cases from LG, but they're apparently extremely rare. So other options would be great.
Thanks!
If you dislike cases why not just get a full body clear skin from Skinomi or Bodyguardz? I'd recommend the LG Slim Guard Case. It has a raised lip but is super minimal, almost flush with the screen. This case unlike other thin G3 cases offers full body coverage/protection. LG also has the Slim Hard Case however this case does not offer fully cover the phone. The Ringke Slim is another good case option. It does have a small lip. Check ebay for the OEM cases if you can't find them on Expansys
So I picked up a Spigen folio case for my Nexus 6 and was disappointed that it didn't come with a magnet in the cover for lock/unlock. Anyone mod their case to add a magnet or know of a magnet that's strong enough (and thin enough) but won't lock the screen when you put the door flush against the back? I'm thinking of buying a crappy $5 case off Amazon and just ripping out the magnet but thought I'd ask here for input. Thanks!

I've modded my vertical belt case. Thin neodymium magnets fixed at the outside (Superglue)
Screen swtchess off went N6 is in the case.
But when moving/walking the screen turned sometimes on. Causing battery drain.
Yeah neodymium are going to be way too strong unless its really small.
I have the same case having an additional magnet in the cover may ruin the cards sitting right behind them
have you some aluminium cover for lg g3 to recommend? Like the verus one. Thank you
i wouldent use a metal covers since they are known for blocking wifi/mobile signal
I had a Aluminium bumper and the mobile signal was horrible.
bad idea like it was said it blocks rf signal. plus just because it's metal doesn't mean it's stronger than polycarbonate plus you don't necessarely want a strong cover as it might damage the phone. plus it interferes with the magnetometer used for example in some gps apps. it's crap. a gymmic. good quality plastic is way much better
ok, so do you know some nice cover? I really don't know what buy :/
A slim tpu case with a lip ove the screen. Ive gone through many cases including the spigen Slim Armor. But i kept going back to a tpu case
