Edge or No Edge?

[gregg1100]

I just can't go for the blue. It would clash with any case if I got one as the case would be pink. I like the black. I have had white for several years now and the change would be nice.

Went into local O2 shop yesterday and they had a great copper or rose gold effect on an S7 Edge. But as any new phone I get will be going straight into a case, the colour doesn't really matter. So called "premium looks" are of no interest to me, as long as the device works well.

Agreed. I ordered my current Moto X Pure with a wood back. Beautiful piece of gear, but it lives out its life in a portfolio case so no one can see the wood! Lessons learned...

My Moto has never been in a case. She is beautiful and I like to see her. Besides, I still have a Samsung "universal" dock that she fits in perfectly. You know, the one they said the Note 3 wouldn't fit in and so stopped making? She wouldn't fit if she wore a case. Copper or rose gold would be great choices for my new Note.

Sometimes a slim case will work with a dock. I've had a dock for my Note 2 and Note 3 and I believe a slim case still worked with them. But then again I go with a very slim tpu case so it doesn't take up much space.

I really hate to add fuel to the fire or get anybody's hopes up, but the "flat" Note 7 popped up again

I honestly believe it's just an early prototype that is leaking now, just because there have been more "official looking" releases of the production device.

Again, I really don't want to get people's hopes up about a flat version, but BGR released an article about an anonymous twitter leakster posting more pics of the "flat" Note 7.

I still feel that this is just a late leak of an early prototype and is just being posted now, to generate attention and clicks. I did a little more digging and this is the original article that the pics were taken from:

(Warning - This is a Netherlands site that I used Google translate, to get an understanding of what was being said)
https://www.techtastic.nl/smartphones/nieuwe-fotos-van-samsung-galaxy-note-7-gelekt-2/

Again, I still believe that Samsung already made the decision a long time ago, to go with the edge version, so the late leaks of the flat version just seem to be for attention grabbing, on early prototypes and the hope for people wanting a flat version of the device. In any event, the pics on that actual website show a good idea of a flat version Note 7.

I would need to see the phones side by side and use them to really know if I prefer the curved or flat. Originally I was against curved, but in using a friends S7 a bit, I actually like it. That being said, I don't think I will actually use the functions of the curved side portions much. Hopefully one can turn off most of those functions if desired. I also wonder how Nova Launcher plays with curved screen phones? Is it compatible? Gotta have my personalized Nova - can't stand any stock launcher.

I use Nova Launcher with my Priv and my Note Edge. It works just as well as with a non-edge phone (like my Mate 8).

Thanks for the info! That is good news!
