I only like one thing about this case and dislike the rest. The one thing I do like is how slim and perfectly form-fitting it is to the GS7E.
But I dislike how the case isn't flush to the back of the phone thus allowing in tiny dust particles to get in. After a while, when you turn the phone over and look at its back side, it looks kind of nasty with all the dust and lint lodged in there.
I also don't like how it feels in the hands. It makes the phone feel to plasticky. Many people might not mind but I didn't like it.
Third, the case scratches WAY too easily. After a short period, those tiny scratches will build up and make the phone look cheap and beaten up.
I thought Samsung would've improved the design and durability of this case from the GS6 but they did not. Fail.
Not recommended.

I've always purchased microSD cards from Samsung and like all others before it, this one is working great. It is fast, durable, and allows me to expand the storage size of my Galaxy S7 Edge.

The world's most powerful little phone
on October 9, 2016
Posted by: optimummind
Verified Purchase:Yes
This little iPhone SE (64GB) perfectly fits the bill for people looking for the following qualities in a phone:
(1) Easy one-handed usability. With its tiny dimensions of 123.8 mm height (4.87"), 58.6 mm width (2.31"), and 7.6 mm thickness (0.30"), pretty much everyone will be able to quickly pick up the phone and use it comfortably with just one hand. Everything on the screen is within easy reach and one doesn't have to shimmy and fumble the phone up and down like one has to with a larger screen phone.
(2) Lightweight. The phone only weighs 113 grams (3.99 oz) so it won't add too much extra weight in your pockets or bags.
(3) Super fast. With the same SOC found inside an iPhone 6S inside the iPhone SE, this little phone is super smooth and blazing fast.
(4) Battery life. The battery size is only 1624 mah so one would think that the battery life would be horrible. But that's not so. Because of the small screen and only a 1136x640 resolution to power, battery life is pretty great. In addition, Apple has optimized the software and hardware very well so you get great idle/standby battery life (e.g., when the screen is off).
(5) Because this is an Apple product, you can be rest assured that you'll get all the OS and security updates promptly directly from Apple. No BS waiting from the phone carriers to push the updates to your phone.
With all that said, here are some Cons compared to modern phones.
(1) So-so camera. Although the rear camera is the same as the phone inside the iPhone 6S, this camera module is no longer as good as many of its competitors. It is a worse camera than the ones found in the Galaxy S6 series, Galaxy S7 series, and the Galaxy Note 7. And of course, it is not as good as the camera in the iPhone 7.
Also, the shooting mode options in the camera app aren't very good.
(2) Screen is too small for proper and enjoyable media consumption (e.g., Netflix, Youtube).
All in all, this is a great phone.

This is my first time experience with VR and I found the experience to be cool and nifty. I used my S7 Edge with the Gear VR and everything went smoothly, from installation and setup to selecting and enjoying the apps. There was a lot of hype about the Gear VR and VR in general yet I wasn't underwhelmed or disappointed. Cool and nifty.

Decent film protector
on March 30, 2016
Posted by: optimummind
Verified Purchase:Yes
This screen protector is okay. Easy to apply and the feel is decent underneath the fingertips. However, it's not completely smooth and clear. You can see tiny ridges on top of the film even though there aren't any dust particles underneath the film. The edges stick okay but the corners become easily lifted up when you use the phone with a case.

As the lean, green second string, Luigi has rarely been one to take the lead. But it's time for Luigi to get out of Mario's shadow — and head into the shadows and winding halls of some very spooky mansions. With the help of his trusty Poltergust 5000 ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner, the nervous and reluctant Luigi will have to face his fears to remove the stubborn specters from the mansions and collect some treasure along the way.Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is the fun-filled follow-up to the Nintendo GameCube's original game, Luigi's Mansion. The mansions are full of a wide variety of ghosts, hidden areas, secret treasure and more. Rendered in stunning 3D, the mansions, ghosts and surroundings come to life like never before. Suck wallpaper off the walls with the Poltergust 5000 to reveal hidden areas, clean up piles of leaves that may be concealing hidden treasure and collect stacks of coins and bills for a nice reward. Use a new strobe function to stun the ghosts before sucking them up. Bury your fears, take a deep breath and get ready to encounter some very scary spooks.

Easy to use and gives a close shave
on October 5, 2015
Posted by: optimummind
Verified Purchase:Yes
I switched from a Phillips rotary shaver to this foil shaver and so far, I'm liking it a lot. Shaving my neck area below my jaw is a bit more difficult compared to the rotary shaver but in all the other areas, this Braun unit gives a closer and cleaner shave. It's easier to shave on my cheeks, chin, and mustache area. It's a great shaver!!

I returned a Samsung NX Mini to get this Sony RX100m2 camera and I'm so happy I did that. The Samsung camera did have a better exterior styling design, a touchscreen, and some useful features, but its picture-taking capability wasn't as good as the Sony RX100m2.
With the Sony, the picture quality is excellent, especially in low-light environments. Processing speed is faster than the Samsung NX Mini as well.

Can the screen be seen in direct sunlight.
Yes. Even with a glass screen protector on top of the screen, the screen is still very visible. This was a definite improvement from my Galaxy S7 Edge with a TGSP.

Can this unlocked phone use Samsung Pay? I heard last year the Note 7 was not compatible with Samsung Pay if it was an unlocked phone (not sure if that was true or not). Additionally, are there any downsides to getting it unlocked?
Yes, Samsung Pay works just fine.
Some downsides of getting an Unlocked model is that some carrier-specific features might not work such as VoLTE, carrier visual voicemail, and Wifi calling.
