I bought this online and love it. The case is a slim fitting case and has a little bit of a grip to it and makes it easy to hold. I have not dropped this phone yet, granted I've only had it a week I dropped my S5 many times a day. The only bad thing about this case is the cheap kickstand. Kickstand works fine, but feels flimsy. This is a great case and I feel my phone is well protected. It is "military grade drop tested".
Quoted from Spigen website: The Tough Armor® for the Galaxy S7 Edge is the perfect combination of a TPU shell contained within a hard polycarbonate backing. In order to ensure protection of the screen’s edges, a 2.0mm lip wraps neatly around the device for additional grip and a secure buffer against flat surfaces without interfering with the edges’ screens
My Best Buy number: 2833332259
I would recommend this to a friend!

I wish it had a off/on button. To turn off when not in use. Other than that it's great

Power off option
January 19, 2016
You can power the unit off. Using the remote go to SETTINGS then to SYSTEM then to POWER and you will see an option to Power off. When you want to use it again just push the home button (I think any button will work) on the remote and it will turn on, it may take a few seconds, compared to just being in standby. Also it automatically goes into standby mode if not used in 30 minutes, this feature can be changed in the settings menu. Hope this helps :)

Discreetly view alerts and notifications without peeking at your phone with this Samsung Galaxy S7 edge LED view cover. Featuring integrated LED lights, this device displays your battery life level and incoming call alerts. This folio-style Samsung Galaxy S7 edge LED view cover protects your phone, and an interior pocket provides a convenient place to store cash or ID cards.
Availability?
So do you get cases for phones after the next model comes out? Aren't best buys supposed to have "Samsung Experience shops"? Kind of hard when you cant have an experience or shop for something you want?
Yes, from what I have read online the case works with wireless charging.

Does the Roku 4 come with Angry Birds Apps?
I have both the Roku 2 and Roku 3, each of which has Angry Bird games, the Roku 3 has two games. My Autistic grandson plays them both when he visits, I normally bring the Roku 3 media player from my upstairs bedroom... I use instead of a TWC set box, I would like not to have to do this, and still see him enjoying Angry Birds.
No. All Angry Birds games have been removed from the Roku channel line up. I have also read that if you had the app and delete it you cannot get it back.
There are Angry birds cartoons available.

Does it come with web browsing capabilities? and an ethernet port as well as wireless?
I have not found a typical web browser on my Roku. I know with some Blu-Ray players and gaming systems you can browse the web. It does connect to the internet to get channels , but it can do this wirelessly or with an Ethernet cable.

Is there a monthly fee
The Roku does not have any fees after purchase. There are many apps that require a fee to use their service, such as Netflix, CBS Access, FX, ect. There are also plenty of free apps to watch all kinds of things from sports, to movies, to kids content and music. Also if you have cable you can log onto many channels and watch content on your Roku like you would on a computer.
