Best Buy seemingly always adds like a 50 premium. They do that with iPhones too. Just show them a msrp price for them to price match it down to what it should be.
Been looking one for a while. I had a feeling I wouldn't see one right away, that's why I got the S View case at launch. Still waiting.
I bought Zagg. It was poor. I then bought

It's much better than the Zagg, however if you use a back case with a lip the lip causes the edges of the protector to lift resulting in a crappy look.
It's really difficult getting something satisfactory that works with cases and such on the Edge
Two things. I want native solutions. I do not want to tinker to get some third party app to work. Second, I want it to work on my iPad too. Is SideSync available for the iPad?
How is the s view case?
I've been rocking this pouch from Etsy. Gotta say again, it's terrific.
Completely naked phone. Not even screen protector. Pouch is helpful when I need it.
You are correct on that one. That is why I always use an app on my 6s Plus that will allow me to change the ISO and the shutter exposure time to get the best from the camera in lowlight situations. The app is called pro shot. It might help you with the SE.
Anyone having this problem with their S7e? The sample size might be too small for people to have had this problem, but on Android Central the thread is getting longer.

Horrible spongey texture and likewise very prone to lifting and bobbling at the edges. Near useless when slipping into Gear VR as it keeps lifting it.
Doesn't happen here. If my device reboots then it'll tell me SD cars detected but that's the only alert i get. Otherwise it never pops up anything and has been working fine since I got it.
It's a 64gb Sandisk Pro Class 10 U3 ...
I believe spigen have released the revised edition of their curved protector but it'll probably be a few weeks before it hits our shores. I'm looking to buy the phone this week and need something to tide me over until then. Do you think the zagg will work with the spigen cases for now?
It may. What I had to do was cut the corners / edges off my protector and that way it stops the lifting. It's not ideal but at least it's protected.
Hopefully the spigen clear will ship sooner rather than later...
Hasn't happened to me. My S7 edge has been rock solid. Reading some of the responses on AC some over there think it is from the SD Cards. They were advising them to back up the sd cards and reformat them.
No, Apple does not allow third party solutions like this. There is no way to get android and ios to communicate like that, ios doesn't have the api and Apple wants people in their ecosystem. Believe sidesync is made Samsung, not sure what native means.
Lack of cross platform continuity is one of my main ios cons. Would rather have a non stock solution than no solution!
Imo you should check your aversion to third party solutions at the door if you want the best out of android, otherwise going all in on Apple is probably best for you

Native means it works right out of the box. No need to add another app or work around to make it work. I can text from all four of my iOS devices. I can make and take calls from all of them too. I can view all my photos on all of them. No need for additional apps that might or might not work. As you know not all apps in the play store work on all Android devices because the developers do not test on ALL devices. I do not want to get a device and have it not integrate with my MBP.
Aye I am aware of continuity. It does not work with anything outside of apple, so no communication between the gs7 and any ios device (my point was this is apples fault because they don't have an api for Samsung to work with). I believe it works on Mac.

I use camera plus sometimes. But I don't think it will help with video. Thanks, I'll look into pro shot.
Apple services is one of the best things about an iPhone/Mac combo, though I can't do phone calls on my MBA because it's too old I guess (2011). But I doubt you'll ever be able to natively do those things from a Mac to another platform, why would apple do that? So you would have to use a 3rd party app on your Mac to do it.
Now, native to android, side sync is included on Samsung devices. It's native to touch wiz. But you would still have to download the side sync app on your pc. And the same with hangouts/google voice. Those are native to nexus devices, but unless you have a chrome book you'll have to download a 3rd party app on your pc.

From what your saying it seems that SideSync is not available on a MBP? Is that correct?
I'll check later tonight. Last time I checked was last September, a bit after the release of the Note 5, and it was "coming soon" to Mac at that point.
