As nice as the front looks, the rear housing sucks!

All the reviews are raving about how nice the S7 & S7 Edge looks... I agree about most of it, but for me the back sucks as if you look closely you will see it has too many logo's & fine printing on the back. The next time you get the chance, turn over your phone and look closely under bright light below the Carrier Logo & S7 Edge Logo and you'll see some icon graphics, 3 lines faint fine printing , kinda like what you see when you took the past phones back cover off. Don't believe me? ....check it out yourself. To me the carrier & brand logos AND that fine printing cheapens the phone. Looks good from the distance, but cheap up close. really bugged me, besides it is so slippery when holding it...so I fixed it with a Dbrand skin

This looks much better, doesn't add bulk and keeps the Edge regular shape as it is a skin, plus it is not slippery as it is real slippery with the stock housing. The front I left alone. It looks fine.

Has anyone noticed the icon graphics, 3 lines faint fine printing on the back of the S7 & S7 Edge? Even some of the sales folks at the Verizon store where shocked when I pointed it out to them. It shows up more on the gold/silver phones. You have to look harder on the onyx black phone. I kinda wanted the gold phone, but they didn't have one at the time I got mine.

Do you work for Dbrand? I don't mean to be an asshole, but so many of your posts read like publicity for them that I have to wonder...
1. I don't live in the US
2. I have no idea what DBrand is.
3. That's not a Dbrand item. It's bought straight from a Samsung concept store, meaning it's an original Samsung accessory. I'm under the impression DBrand is a third party case maker like Otterbox?

I'm just really liking my phone and the nice case. Lol
