After using my considerable powers of OCD to arrive at the decision to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I then turned my OCD attention to the task of finding the absolute most perfect-for-me Galaxy S7 Edge case. I probably spent more time finding a case than a phone. Not every option was desirable.

I generally prefer a slim, flexible case that adds minimal bulk to the phone while at the same time providing halfway decent cushioning from impacts. Most of these sort of gel looking cases are made from !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . Before deep diving into any one particular brand of case, I just did a basic search on Amazon for “Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge TPU case.” Many results appeared, including !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

Kinja'd!!!

I...couldn’t form any coherent thoughts about this phone case.

Kinja'd!!!

Instead, I bought this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , even though what I really wanted was a translucent blue TPU case. This one has a shiny clear TPU case with a harder polycarbonate bumper that runs around the edge.

Why didn’t I get a blue or case? Because the best options I could find on Amazon made my OCD twitch. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has an ugly bright white logo on it.

Kinja'd!!!

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! comes in gray and a sort of more sky blue, but I don’t like the shape of the edge around the corners.

Kinja'd!!!

So I bought the Spigen one because there was nothing about it that made me itch.

EVENING UPDATE: I continued searching for what I really wanted, which was a basic blue translucent TPU case. I found one for !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! at Newegg through a 3rd party seller.

Kinja'd!!!

I’m still going to keep the Spigen though, because my phone arrives on Wednesday, and this other case is coming by whatever snail mail this 3rd party Newegg seller sees fit. I can’t go caseless with my shiny new phone.

I can already hear the sarcastic remarks from my wife about why anyone would need 2 different phone cases. Maybe I should respond with, “hey, at least I didn’t buy the one with a skeleton going down on a naked lady.” That’ll work perfectly.

I’ve bought Spigen cases for a little while, directly via Amazon. No issues, good build quality. I don’t drop phones so much as knock them off tables etc, no damage. I recently got a Note8, and have a Spigen for it too.

I’d definitely -if I had the chance- take your phone out of that case and press a few greasy fingerprints on the back of your phone.

Luckily I don’t need a case on the phone I’m currently using because it’s a Nokia (c7) and it’s more durable than my Cat 40. All it needs is a bit of tape to keep the back cover on it’s place since it’s been driven over by A series Merc (Twice) and it fell out of my pocket while going 50km/h on a motorcycle.

Yeah, it’s a shiny-ass phone. If I had a choice of colors I would’ve probably gone with black, but the North America unlocked version (SM-G935U) that works on Verizon and globally, only comes in silver.

But hey, I went a little crazy and picked up 2 MORE CASES for a whole 9 dollars, because I’m a wild and crazy guy.

My wife and daughter came across that image while looking for iPhone cases. Amazon would do well to pay attention to this stuff.

I feel like this is supposed to be some sort of weird twist on the “waiting for a perfect man” meme.
