The UAG case I have is a pliable rubber so it pops off the phone easily. I don't know about the one being pictured. It does look like a beast to remove.
I think it looks okay, but Apple has patents for hiding the camera and speaker under the display. I'm a tiny bit disappointed that it looks like we won't see that implemented in this phone.
I wasn't bashing the design of the phone. I kind of like it and all we see are bare parts not the total vision so it should only get better. But the case is ugly. I didn't realize it was suppose to be ruggedized. Ruggedized cases are always ugly. It's the nature of the beast. They aren't suppose to be good looking, they are suppose to be phone-saving. But if it's an every day case it's ugly. No way to dance around it.

I still don't get the obsession with making the top and bottom bezels go away. For what? The phone is still the same width, you have a tiny bit more screen vertically, is that really worth losing a home button (and probably Touch ID) and having this weird indentation for the camera(s) etc? I guess Apple and others think so. I don't.
I don't either. I also don't really like devices with little to no bezel. They are more difficult to hold without touching the screen accidentally. Very inconvenient if I'm trying to hold the device to take pictures, watch YouTube, Netflix, etc.
Plus I've got this nagging feeling that the device will get very hot like the Samsung Edge devices do (For me at least).
Probably because if you didn’t then it won’t be a case and if you dropped it there goes your 1K plus phone
That is literally uglier than what it was posted in response to.I don't know man. Is it really pulling off the case look better than the S8? lol amirite
Opinions man. Everybody's got 'em and they seem more than willing to give them away. Generous I'd say.
Although yours completely misses the point, it's appreciated anyway.
Not trying to be anti-progress, but in my opinion the border radius on the display looks sloppy
Plus this may produce finger fatigue as the entire front being a display won't allow you to rest your fingers when holding the screen. I like to hold my thumb on the home button when using it, allows me to hold and balance it.
I'd much rather have 90 degree angles for the display.

Home room wireless charging - like walk about your house charge all day.
PS: Looking at the iPhone 4/4S/5/5S/6/6S/7's front camera's all have a blue hue. So is it just me thinking I'm looking at 2 front camera's on this long rumored iPhone 8 or am I missing something here? Their both on left side while the sensors could be to the right of the speaker grill.
