Too many accidental edge touches in one handed operation
580060
I am only commenting on one aspect of the phone - one handed operation.  Outside of this I think this phone is great and recommend the other reviews for more information.

I purchased this phone because it is small yet has a large screen.  Nature didn't leave me with much extra room in my pockets, so this seemed to be the perfect large screen phone for me.  I also chose the S6 Edge because it is narrow enough that I can reach every keyboard letter with the thumb of one hand while keeping my other hand free.  However, when I reach for keys at the edge (the letter p for example), the base of my thumb touches the edge of the touchscreen, resulting in accidental key presses.  This is profoundly annoying and prevents effective one handed operation.  I think Samsung should be able to address this issue in software and hope they do.  If they just added an option to disable touch sensitivity for one of the edges, that would go a long way.

In the mean time I'm using a keyboard option that shifts all the keys to one side so I can avoid the reaching behavior that triggers the accidental screen presses, but they still happen occasionally.

I brought this for a cosplay presentation, as soon I start practicing some spins I realize that is very easy to press the buttons and turn of the blades accidentally.

I'm now looking to modify the buttons wich will cost me more :-/

I pad does not stay in one spot so the buttons line up incorrectly making it turn off unexpectedly

I hate to admit I was careless but I did make a mistake and activated the table saw brake.  Like SawStop states, it will save fingers and in my case that is actually what the brake did.

After having had two of these -- black and gunmetal -- for just over a year, now, it became increasingly apparent that the gunmetal version, which has silvery metal strips along the sides, was not gripping the phone properly on the left (two-button) side. We'd noticed this before, but not to this extent, so I ordered a new one. Alas, it was nearly as bad. The resulting misshaping not only adds slightly to the bulk of the phone, it may marginally reduce side drop protection and it definitely makes it harder to operate the volume-down button.

However, the black version -- which doesn't have metal strips on the sides and seemingly uses a different material on the back plate -- grips nicely on the left side. After a year of use, that grip had loosened only the faintest bit, but as an experiment we purchased a new one and it gripped perfectly.

Bottom line, if you need a case with a kickstand and midrange protection, the black version of this Spigen offering merits four, maybe five, stars. But the gunmetal version is really a two-star candidate. Can't say as to the blue and gold versions, but it would be worth checking to ensure yours stays snapped into place on the left side and doesn't slowly pull away.

[Original September 2016 review] We've had a pair of S7 Edge phones with this Spigen case for two months. In all, the case probably provides as much protection as possible without serious bulk. Yet, when I placed one phone, back facing down, firmly onto a tile surface the screen cracked. I've been using countless cellphones for 20 years, and never has something like this occurred with any of the others. Indeed, this is my first cracked screen ever. Conclusion: The cracking likely has more to do with the Edge's curved screen than Spigen's protective qualities.

Folks sometimes sniff at the seemingly flimsy kickstand, but even though it's hard to open without a pry blade it is mighty handy for watching videos.

Footnote: Our most knowledgeable local repair maven states that replacing an Edge screen without losing waterproofing means sending it to Sangean's inhouse service unit. Unfortunately, last month when I tried to do this, they indicated they were temporarily not performing non-warranty repairs, presumably because they were awash in Note issues.

The front case some times make difficult touch the screen

Warning! The sensor is not in the center of the mouse. It is closer to the edge. If you turn the mouse like I often do, the cursor movement will be completely ruined.

The case seems to protect the phone well however the edges are not rounded and it makes the phone very uncomfortable to hold one handed. I would not recommend this case to anyone who tends to perform tasks with one hand.

As far as protection goes the case is awesome, the looks/styling is great, but it's a horrible ergonomic design. The edges of this case are very sharp/squared, so after prolonged use it irritates your fingers. Particularly the inside of your pinky finger.

I hold my phone one handed in my right hand, I use my pinky finger along the bottom as a 'base' and use my thumb to navigate the phone. However on this case the jack holes on the bottom have sharp squared edges. It just so happens that these sharp edges bridge across the inside of my pinky finger, as I navigate the phone, the phone moves in my hand and the sharp edges rub causing discomfort.

I didn't notice how horrible it is until I used my wife's phone with a smoothed edge case, no irritation using hers.

I am returning this case and going to try the Spigen Slim case armor instead.

I just had to make an adjustment/cut a bit to fit perfectly, otherwise it would keep peeling off when the excess edge would hit anything else.  Unfortunately, I ruin one just while doing the adjustment.

The left tab is a continuous issue with the Neat. The left tab button at some point WILL break off.

Deal breaker: the sensor is off center (far to the right), so the arc-in-place motion I've been making for *years* to nudge the cursor down causes little to no motion.

This is a real shame, because the rest of the mouse is fine.

When I first received this case, I was pretty impressed by it - thick, solid.  But that turned out to be a problem.

The plastic is so thick, that it prevents you from properly using the click wheel.  Whenever I tried to press the Play button, the case forced by finger to end up pressing the center button.  I kept having to try to wedge my fingernail down to get the Play button to activate.

While this problem alone was enough for me to abandon this case, there are also two other more minor irritants: (1) the opening for the Hold button is so small, it's almost impossible to access it and (2) the case is a bit slippery.

I used this for two weeks to make sure my evaluation was appropriate - and then gave up on the case.  A few small design changes would have been a vast improvement - like beveling the area around the click wheel.  That's what the Speck SeeThru-Lucid case does - and that's the one I've gone with.

If you plan on using this for what it was designed for, that is note taking, Wait until microsoft fixes their windows operating system. I am left handed and when I write on onenote, the surface gesture regularly flips me to another program. Be aware that you cannot turn this feature off! If you hand write with this product you will accidentally open menus constantly. You would think that microsoft would have a button that says "Turn off stupid gestures" but they don't and haven't for their entire line of surfaces. Even as a software major, I do not understand what is so hard about turning off gestures.

Using the intel atom is also a smidge under powered for normal note taking.

I only reason that I have not given it a single star is because as a student I have saved a lot of money using a digital solution. I am completely willing to re-rate this when they fix this horribly overlooked issue.

I had to pull up and reset so many times that I must have put my finger on the edge once since now one corner comes up a little when i put it in the slot for the keyboard. Otherwise it works fine

There are too many flush-mounted switches and they are difficult for old fingers to use.
The menu tree is inconsistent, the use of the check-mark and "X" keys do not behave the same way throughout the menu tree. Example; When you go to see what the Message Center Number for SMS is you get a looped-back arrow above the "X" key. This does not mean "go back" or return to previous screen, it's a delete symbol and pressing it removes characters from the Message Center Number... I hope your memory is good because it took me several minutes of digging through the web to find the replacement number. Another example is when you view a screen that has something you don't want to change, you are forced to re-save the item to get out of the screen. You should be presented with an edit query and then forced to save or abandon changes.
Why are these things an issue? Remember, this phone is most likely to end-up in the hands of an elderly, novice cell phone user AND you are going to have to be able to troubleshoot this phone yourself when your elderly parent calls you on the land-line asking about these things. Can you remember all this? Are you prepared to carry the instructions around with you for a few months while your parent gets use to the inconsistencies here?
3-Stars for the cluttered cabinet design and the screwy menu issues. And the phone construction is way under par for a $70 cell phone.

Not intuitive , not easy to unclip , feels awkward
