I'm waiting for mine to come probably tomorrow. My husband did find a Best Buy Series Platunum case with holster and kickstand he bought to try since Otterbox wasn't making a defender for the edge.
 
I got the edge, first ever S series for me. Last and only Samsung I had was the Galaxy Nexus..

Since that phone I've had the HTC M7, Sony Z2, Sony Z3, LG G4, and now just preordered the black S7 Edge.
 
First Samsung phone for us ever. Our phones will be here tomorrow morning. We've had all HTC's since the EVO so it's a first for us with Samsung but we're familiar with and love Android. We just need to get used to Touch Whiz. But it's the camera that is so good compared to our M9.
 
I preordered my S7 from Verizon on Feb. 23rd, received it on May 8th. I am a former Iphone user and this is my 1st Samsung phone and my 1st Android. I am loving my decision to switch.
 
I have a GS6edge and a Note 4. I plan on getting the GS7edge and the Note 6 later this year.

I initially thought I would go with the GS7 but I changed my mind to go with the edge because of the larger screen size. I suspect that the Note 6 and GS7edge+ (if that is what they will come out with later this year) will have around a 6 inch screen considering the normal edge+ is now 5.5 inches.

I like the edge, but I hate the fact that there are less case options for it as a result.
I have the Note 4 and was gonna wait for the Note 6, (there won't be a S7 Edge+) but decided to go with the S7 Edge today. Laying the Note 4 & S7 Edge side by side convinced me. Perfect size!
 
I am so glad we did the Edge I love love love it. OMG It's the best phone ever LOL! We've had 6 HTC's and yes the from facing speakers with boom sound was great but everything else on this phone amazes me. We went from M8's to M9 and never should of done it. And at the same time my friend got the 6 Edge and I researched it back then thinking oh it's not worth the extra 100 bucks to me anyway cause of the same screen size but than on the 7 since the Edge was bigger screen and battery I had to have it. Whole reason I wanted a new phone was a bigger screen and this is the perfect size for me.

I still don't have it fully set up yet and am finding out things it does and am like wow I like it even more.

I sold my vear to a co-worker it was for his brother and then my husband still has his and we actually tried it the other night it was cool. We just did it for a quick minute and put it back in the box. But now my co-workers getting a note 6 when they come out he wants to buy our other gear for himself cuz we won't really use it but it is cool.
 
I was at Best Buy yesterday and they were giving away the wireless charger if you bought a Galaxy phone now but it was not the fast one
 
Is the ZAGG HD Screen Protector worth it for the S7 Edge? I'm using a TECH 21 Evo wallet case right now, because it covers the screen. In the past, I've used film protectors on my Motorola phones. Since I got the S5, I used Tempered glass protectors. I don't have the privilege of using a tempered glass protector for my 7 Edge. I went to a Verizon store and they were even sold out of the Screen Protectors. Anyone have the ZAGG for the 7 Edge?
 
I was just at the Zagg booth in Tacoma Mall yesterday and they haven't gotten any in yet, but had some for the S7. I'm curious about this too as I'd like to cover the front along with my Dbrand skins I ordered:

I have the Zagg HD not sure if its worth the money but I wanted a screen protector and we love the glass ones and Zagg emailed me and said in 2-3 weeks they would have a curved glass and I was told I could upgrade and just pay the difference so I got it. I had mine put on at the Kiosk at the mall and paid $30 with installation. It did save my phone which fell out of my pocket at work in the S-View Flip Cover case and i thought my phone was messed up and was so upset but than my husband said no it's just the screen protector so I am glad i got it. But you might find a cheaper one just as good or better I don't know. We had our 1st Zagg glass on our M8 and then our M9 and loved it. I am hoping they come out soon. But before Zagg we used Clarivue and Spigen. But Best Buy gave us 20% off one time and said the Zagg glass was the best and we loved it. So I got the HD hoping to upgrade soon if the glass one does come out. My husband had a $30 BB gift card from using Samsung Pay and we went their and they were out of all screen protectors and didn't even have many cases. They said they didn't even have the Edge it was such a hot seller.

I decided to go the the ZAGG HD Today. I complained via Verizon Chat and asked for a 5 dollar refund. I was sold the ZAGG FULL BODY HD Protector, and they DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME AT THE STORE. I was probably so excited. But anyways, the lady only installed the FRONT and not the rear. There were some bubbles (still are), but I read that it takes some days until the bubbles go away. The HD Screen protector for the front is only 19.99, the Full Body is 29.99. I have a company discount through my employer, so it came out to 24 something. I complained and asked verizon for a 5 dollar refund because the lady only installed the front, while selling me the Full Body protector WITHOUT telling me it was the full body. Anyways, hope to see no bubbles and have a protected screen.
 
Well everyone,it was a fun three weeks:
The new phone bug has bit me yet again & I traded-in (T-Mobile Jump-On-Demand) for the LG G5.
The S7 Edge is a great phone,I particularly liked the AMOLED display & wireless charging/battery life,KUDOS to Samsung on those accounts.
But,I'm just not diggin' the dual-curved edge design & I've been jonesin' for the I-R Blaster that the G5 has & which is MIA since the Note5/Galaxy S6 Edge+.
Whether y'all chose the S7 & S7 Edge,you'd be hard-pressed to find a better phone,lots to like & the quirks & WTF's seem to be few,compared to past devices & those I bet will be addressed relatively soon via updates.

See y'all 'round the forum.
