I promise not to bore you with another one of my long review write ups among hundreds I've shared with you already in our community :)

Due to similarities with the original UAG S6 case, please refer to my full detailed review here:

But I still want to mention a few things. When I heard of S6 Edge announcement and seen early images, the first thing that went through my mind was "oh, no, how the heck manufacturers going to make their cases for a full protection of this phone?!?" You have to admit, it's a challenge for sure. While there is no issues protecting top and bottom of the phone, you no longer have a luxury of wrap-around sides to keep your phone save? Just got Maverick and Ash cases for my S6 Edge display model, and UAG nailed it! You still have access to view sides of the display, the edges have a protection bumper, and you have an extra thick bumper protection at the top and the bottom. I know, the top and the bottom edges look like they sticking out more than usual (due to recessed side edges), but I think it's for the best to keep the phone safe if you drop it down.

The case itself is super lightweight at only 1.2 oz, and it was still 3rd party Drop Tested to MIL-STD 810G-516.6 standard. All other design elements are identical to the original S6 case. Here for S6 Edge, UAG only introduced Maverick (transparent clear color, http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/clear-galaxy-s6-case , available on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-GEAR-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00TRG8K0A/?tag=vectron00-20 ) and Ash (transparent gray color, http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/ash-case-for-galaxy-s6-edge, available on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/URBAN-ARMOR-GEAR-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B00TRG8KGY/?tag=vectron00-20). Both colors create a sick 3D transparent effect that looks cool with a slick design of S6 Edge.

Here are the pictures.

I had to return my Ash case. The bottom back edge was just designed too sharp and after a few minutes of browsing with the phone, it would irritate the pinky finger. I tried to cope with it because I love UAG cases, but just couldnt hande my pinky getting raw from the case. And yes, I had an authentic UAG case bought directly from UAG.
