Spigen Ultra Hybrid Case Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S7 - Crystal Clear

I purchased this cover for my Samsung Galaxy S7 after my phone, that I had used without a cover since purchasing it in May, had suffered a couple of falls on concrete and showed minor damage on its back. Usually I prefer not to use a phone cover as I don't like it interfering with the nice design however this Spigen case drew my attention for its simple design, good price, and flattering reviews. I was looking for a thin yet well-made phone cover that would serve its purpose and protect my phone from further damage.When the case arrived I was pleased with the packaging which didn't feel cheap at all, and the case itself was a good first impression. It was easy to put on the phone and looked nice and slim. The case has good protection for both the back and the front, as it does have a little bit of a raise over the front screen. Since putting my phone in this case I have found it easier to use because of the firm grip and it just fits in the palm much nicer than an uncovered phone.Since using this Spigen cover my phone has been dropped a few more times quite hard on tiled or concrete floor and suffered no damage at all which goes to show that this cover serves its purpose perfectly. Since my phone has been damaged from previous falls when it was without a case, I was expecting either the front or the back of the phone to crack, however this case saved my phone both times and it's still in a great condition. I have been using this cover for nearly two months and it shows no signs of wear up to this point.I am very pleased with this purchase. Since I haven't used any other phone covers before I cannot really compare this to other products on the market but for a clumsy first time user it is absolutely perfect.

Fitting is great. It fits my Galaxy S7 perfectly, without being too tight or too loose. The phone feels more secure to hold and the grip is better with the case one. It has a smooth finish and does not stick to your hand or table at all. It slides easily in and out of your pocket. The case itself is bendable and not a complete hard plastic cover. Does not feel bulky, but it do add a little thickness to the phone. I went from an iPhone 4S to a Galaxy S7, so I don't mind it being slightly thicker with the case on. Protects the screen as well, as the case lifts the phone, so the screen does not touch the surface when faced down. All outlets left open, which makes it easier to acces. Buttons (volume and lock) works wonder. It almost feels like it doesn't have a case on, when I use the buttons.My main problem is the case being a fingerprintmagnet. Not too visible, but it annoys me a little, as I want the clean look, but in genereal thats merely impossible, so you cannot avoid the fingerprints covering the case.When it fast-charges and heats up, the case does tend to stick to the phone a little. Not a problem for me though. That's completely normal.I'm overall satisfied with the purchase. It was just as expected and I only needed a case to prevent scratches while keeping the back of the phone visible. The phone itself is glorious and does not need much decoration.Fast delivery as well. Arrival was earlier than estimated.

A few weeks before the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S7, I ordered a number of -for some reason- heavily discounted Spigen S7 cases on Amazon including this one which I paid £0.99.Now that I had the opportunity to use my GS7 for a few days, I'd like to share with you my unbiased views on the SPIGEN 'Ultra Hybrid' case with 'Air Cushion' technology.First, allow me to give you a bit of context.When choosing a case for my smartphones, I am always looking for the best combination of style, protection, comfort and value for money.I am personally a huge fan of thin covers (ideally transparent) which offer a satisfying level of protection (including the screen as I dislike screen protectors) without impacting the design of the phone too much, and ideally improve the customer experience (for instance by improving the grip). All the buttons, connectors and the camera (including the flash) should work as well as without the case.So back to the SPIGEN case.I LIKED+ good grip+ reasonable additional bulk+ excellent level of protection: thick material, raised on the front to protect the screen, and all the buttons are protected too+ precise cut outs (bottom of the phone and camera)+ easy to fit in your Galaxy S7I WISHED- it was easier to remove your phone from the caseCONCLUSIONThis clear case from Spigen offers an excellent trade off (level of protection vs. additional bulk) while still highlighting the beautiful design of the Galaxy S7. And considering the small price tag, it's a no brainer.-I hope you will find my review and my photo coverage helpful-

On trying out, seems the most suitable of clear bumper cases for my samsung s7. This was 1 out of 5 cases I bought for my Samsung galaxy s7 after replacing a Sahara case that has now discoloured.There are bumper corners and the back is made of the harder plastic hopefully protecting the glass back of the phone suffieciently.The port cut outs are larger than required so this would be useful if u don't use original chargers etc.Down side would be the rear camera cut out is one big window, so there is a fair amount of the back exposed. My rear phone camera was recently shattered and I got it replaces however this was with a bumper case so I'm not sure bumper cases provide full protection anyway.Despite the harder plastic, the case is still relatively lightweight, follows the round back of the phone and I'd say it's the top ranking out of the 5 I bought to try out.
