RIP Note7
Southwest flight had to evacuate from a burning Note7. I tried defending over and over what is arguably the best of the best phone right now. Too dangerous, folks. A smoke bomb. It might NOT happen to you, but it can still happen to you someday or still happen to someone else somewhere which increases the chances.
Samsung just completely ruined their brand image. It is OVER for them. I am not even going to get an S8, Note8, or anymore phones with the name Samsung on it. What a shame. Note7 has such a great camera and display. The one year I wanted a Samsung phone, they literally blew it in front of people's faces.
I'm getting an LG V20. I will try it out for two weeks. If I am not satisfied by its cameras and battery life, then iPhone 7 Plus. It is over for Note7. Anyone can have a smoking Note7 that will have people evacuate airplanes, trains, buses, or any public transport.
Avoid Note7 at all cost. Even if powered off and a replacement, it still burns up. This is far worse than the Sony VAIO laptop recall. LG V20 or iPhone 7 Plus for me.

Samsung was making a great device this note 7 but they screwed up in hurrying it to release it before the iphone 7 release so now the fault in battery doesnt really cure this exploding problem there are other parts too inside a phone and the replacement note 7 are overheating as well as if you see the news exploding too.
Blackberry nokia microsoft lumia and now samsungs turn. Go for other brands like Huawei mate 8 64gb and i bet u whatever u say it will be the best phone you ever had
the other best is the obvious 7 plus its very expensive but its that damn good

There's a problem for the stocks of Black Onyx again with my telco. They offered me an S6 loaner, but I just refused. I'm not settling with platinum. Just so shiny in bright places.
I can wait cut the black for a little bit more.

AnonD-77443, 05 Oct 2016Fair enough :-)
Re cases, i have had my GN7 for about 7 ... moreYeah I used mine naked for the last few weeks- although still had a screen protector in place...
I do prefer one of the wrap around cases-ones like Spiegen makes
My present Tech21 wallet case sucks as it has a magnetic strip to make the front lock to the back.. and it always kamikazes into the screen (which being GG5 I don't wan't to have metal contstantly scraping across it)..
So I had to put a new screen protector on the N7 for it to survive use in this case whilst I order another case, ideally something more open... (and less annoying).
I really buggered up the second attempt at protection screen application.
For those who do not know- official samsung screen protectors come with 'two screens'.
The first one I used on the 'now returned' N7.
My replacement N7 has the bodgiest job ever for a screen application, and now I have no backup to swap to. So will be looking for a new 'shell'.
Anyhow just pipping in.. no marks on my N7 after a few weeks of naked use..
Happy to use my new one without screen protection or case protection, but will, cause they are such nice phones.. screen protection probably most important, and a case for 'grip'.

Re cases, i have had my GN7 for about 7 ... moreI find the silver or platinum to be attention grabbers - something I realize too late and had ordered black D Brand skins. Black onyx looks inconspicuous. Going no-case just worries me with a nasty drop - not likely you, but someone bumping into you while you hold it. And because of the recall, the Black Onyx is my final choice now. They didn't have it in stock the first time.
I found a 360-degree clear acrylic protective case from X-Doria.

It feels like the Note7 with no case, but the outer transparent shell would arty least absorb some of the energy from a drop. Less than $13, than pay $270 to have the screen.

Fair enough :-)
Re cases, i have had my GN7 for about 7 weeks with no case or screen protection... not a mark on the screens or edges and i have been rougher with it because i knew it would be replaced.

AnonD-183089, 03 Oct 2016congrats mate :) but which color is better black or silver ... moreI got the Silver originally but have asked for Black when my new one comes.
My biggest issue with silver is the back.... it is so shiny it looks like a mirror.
Check real life pictures when deciding not Samsungs professional photos.
