I promised
@jamezr and
@MRU a small review of the iCarer leather case. I'm going to add that in a little while. But first, I wanted to post a few pictures and impressions of my favorite case ever, the
Ringke Fusion Clear Case (smoke black color).
I first thought I'd make a pros and cons list, but that's actually not possible because there's just nothing negative to say about this bumper case.
Let me start by saying that anyone who thinks cases in general "uglify" a phone, and anyone who bought the Edge over the normal S6 for its aesthetic appeal and wants their cases to be as unobtrusive and invisible as possible, the Ringke Fusion case is the one to get. If you own any color of the Edge other than white, I'd say get the smoke black variant.
Firstly, it looks STUNNING! I use it on my Emerald green S6 Edge and it looks absolutely fantastic. I bought the smoke black version. The rubber is very lightly tinted and looks beautiful on the dark green.
I prefer it over the crystal clear case because, even if that sounds paradox, the smoke black blends in with the phone so much better and is practically invisible whereas the crystal clear version doesn't blend in quite as well and looks a lot more bulky, like an add-on.
The material feels very, very good in the hand. It's listed as being a hard case but it's not. It's also not a soft case, it's somewhere in the middle and it does allow you to have a better grip as opposed to using the phone naked.
For people, like me, who often press the power and volume buttons accidentally, the case has these encapsulated with tiny bit of lip/distance which means you need to press the buttons a little bit harder, which is quite convenient.
The general fit of the case is great, not too tight, not too loose, just perfect, so that getting the phone in and out of the case is simple.
The dust caps are a perfect fit as well and easy to pull off/on. I've been using the case for a few weeks now and open/close the caps a few times a day. So far, no signs of wear/tear.
Dropping the phone is not a problem, either, though admittedly, the highest falls were waist-length, so not sure how well it fares in other scenarios and I don't want to test it out. With that said, using the phone with the case as my daily driver, with medium-to-heavy usage, the case offers enough protection to keep my phone free from scratches and dents. I drop my phone very often and the case has done what it's supposed to do. There's enough lip for the phone's front to be laid down without the screen touching the surface.
Yep, I think that's all I can think of right now. It's definitely a worthy investment.
PS: Sorry about the picture quality. I used my iPhone 4S and I'm not a photographer. But you should get the picture anyway.
