I promise not to bore you with another one of my long review write ups among hundreds I've shared with you already in our community
Due to similarities with the original UAG S6 case, please refer to my full detailed review here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/accessories/review-uag-galaxy-s6-lots-pics-t3103661
But I still want to mention a few things. When I heard of S6 Edge announcement and seen early images, the first thing that went through my mind was "oh, no, how the heck manufacturers going to make their cases for a full protection of this phone?!?" You have to admit, it's a challenge for sure. While there is no issues protecting top and bottom of the phone, you no longer have a luxury of wrap-around sides to keep your phone save? Just got Maverick and Ash cases for my S6 Edge display model, and UAG nailed it! You still have access to view sides of the display, the edges have a protection bumper, and you have an extra thick bumper protection at the top and the bottom. I know, the top and the bottom edges look like they sticking out more than usual (due to recessed side edges), but I think it's for the best to keep the phone safe if you drop it down.
The case itself is super lightweight at only 1.2 oz, and it was still 3rd party Drop Tested to MIL-STD 810G-516.6 standard. All other design elements are identical to the original S6 case. Here for S6 Edge, UAG only introduced Maverick (transparent clear color, http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/clear-galaxy-s6-case , available on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-GEAR-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00TRG8K0A/ ) and Ash (transparent gray color, http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/ash-case-for-galaxy-s6-edge, available on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-GEAR-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00TRG8KGY/). Both colors create a sick 3D transparent effect that looks cool with a slick design of S6 Edge.
Here are the pictures.

Hey Vect;
Nice to see you here!
any coupons or deals out there for these guys?
I bought so many other cases already for this thing, and was waiting for a UAG, but the wife will move me out if I spend another 30 bucks on a case!
Thanks man!

Agree with everyone else, please post pictures!
No camera right now, I should have a cheap one in the next few days.
here you guys go.
Nice! How does it feel in hand?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.
The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Edit*
Giveaway of the case is over, someone claimed it already
Nice review as always. Wouldn't mind one myself.
Huh suprised. I ll order one
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

I don't use screen protectors
I ordered a Case-Mate barely there and the design is different from all the designs I have seen on Youtube and all the pictures I have seen! It looks a lot batter now.
Things they have changed:
- Sides are raised slightly now so you can put your phone screen down without scratching it
- Better camera protection
- Top and bottom have a MUCH nicer design
- Overall smoother and cleaner design
Check out these videos and pictures of the old case:

I got the old version and my sides are raised aswell, i can lay it down on my desk with no problems and prefer the old camera cutout look tbh.. But i'm glad you are happy with yours
Bugger, mines a bit broken on the thin bit next to the volume rocker so was looking to buy another. Maybe not now, looks much worse especially the (pointless) camera change.
when did you order yours? I prefer the older look!

Mate, these screens are damn near unscratchable. I've had mine for 4 months and when people ask me how easily does the screen mark, I take out my car keys and scratch them back and forth over my screen. Not a mark. My G1 was the same.
I actually dropped mine on the carpark at work, it has a tiny dent on the top right corner of the case but, apart from that, it hasn't a scratch.
nice =) like it
hey there peeps if anyone does want the older deisgn i have a couple of brand new ones iam selling on xda forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1296074
they are a bit cheaper then shops
thought id mention it as some of you dont like the new design and these are the older design
have a great day
I prefer the Samsung mesh case
fantastic.... will wait for this one.. loved it
I got one of the old ones....
Just thought I'd post my opinion on my latest case and throw up a few pictures for you guys to have a look at..
This is my second case for my S3, the first one being a FONEM8 Hard Slim Shell off eBay (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140764120157) and while I was happy with the fit and style the rubberised texture attracted dirt like you wouldn't believe. In the end I had a grotty off white case that wouldn't even wash clean You can see what I mean in the 3rd picture.
Off I went looking for something similar in fit but with a gloss/shiny finish so it didn't end up all mucky and found the Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230807084265) paid my £10 and waited for the postman. It arrived fairly quickly from China and I'm pretty happy with it. The rainbow effect that can be seen in the pictures is fairly subtle and can't really be seen in the pictures, its most noticeable in natural light.
Here's the pictures anyway (http://imgur.com/a/Hy2gp)

Those are really nice, I have the black textured one and it feels like it will protect your phone. Also goes over the bezel of the phone enough that you can leave it face down.
I bought one but didnt like it, i didnt like that theres little to no protection on the corners of the phone ,i bought a samsung vented case instead and like that better

The corners and top/bottom are a tad exposed, for me its trying to find happy medium between protection and keeping the device feeling slick and lightweight, can be tricky
I tend to go through cases quite alot (finished with about 8/9 for my iPhone) so I'll do a thread like this for each one I buy so others have a decent(ish) reference :good:
Here is mine...
Good.
My case finally came in today..here are some pics...also have the Zizo ION case which will be delivered tomorrow, will post up some pics when it arrives...
paid $12.47 for the case on ebay...
Fits perfectly...feels good in the hands, camera and screen is protected by a slight lip...

Here are the pics of the Zizo case...fits nice and snug...feels really durable...not too sure about the tempered glass, seems like its not sticking on the the edges--it does have almost full coverage minus the camera...maybe thats why its NOT sticking well..
How do you like the Spigen?
I love it...provides good protection and feels great in the hands...very thin as well

Using spigen, is it hard to press on volume buttons?
No issues with the volume button...
I have the Zizo case as well. I don't like it. First person to PM me can have it. I'll ship it this Saturday and pay shipping to you.
*Tempered glass not included
My Zizo case came yesterday. I don't think I like it. It's ok but I like my cheap pink one better.
(this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/accessories/cheap-case-t3489690/page1
I got the green/clear Zizo. I don't like the way the clear tpu sticks to the back (that wet look) and the green color wasn't as nice as it looked in the pictures online. Just plain lime green.
It's an interesting case though. Fits well. I'm probably just biased because I'm already used to the pink one.
Well, just got my 2.99 obliq flex pro from the Mailman... I'll see how I like that one next!

I like my Spigen one better...but I just want the protection...I dropped my Note 7 shortly after receiving the 2nd recalled version and it got a tiny scratch on the screen...fortunately I had to return it anyways lol...Now I dont want to chance this V20 getting a nick...
Oops missed this thread, I started another for the Spigen Rugged. Excellent case for $12 on Amazon Prime. Good balance between light and still protective.
