Tech Files: Get a Skin as Stylish as the Edge is
Buying the latest Edge – the S7 Edge to be precise – is a smart move. As Samsung’s best phone yet, there’s hardly a critic out there that hasn’t given it a glowing review. In fact, according to Tech Radar, it’s the #1 phone of 2016. (#2, by the way, is its little brother the Galaxy S7). Beating out the iPhone 6s, the Nexus 5X, and the HTC One M9, the Galaxy S7 Edge is deemed a work of art – inside and out.
Now if you had the Mona Lisa hanging on your wall, would you cover it up in an ugly protective case? Of course not! So why would it make sense to cover up your Edge in a case that eclipses its award-winning specs. Frankly, it doesn’t, which is why you shouldn’t think concealment – think enhancement and wrap up your Edge in a vinyl skin.
The best Galaxy S7 Edge skins provide superior protection against daily wear and tear that can result in scratches, scuffs, and scrapes that would ruin your smartphone. Also known as S7 Edge wraps, these skins keep your phone in mint condition, without compromising the Galaxy’s amazing style. But only if you choose high quality 3M vinyl skins that offer the following features.
Fit
When it comes to finding a wrap that enhances the phone, fit is your number one priority. Like its namesake suggests, the Galaxy S7 Edge has a unique build that allows for a curved screen to bend along the sides of the phone. It’s unlike any other phone in that regard, including any of the previous Edge models. Earlier generations of the Edge only had one side that was curved; the S7 Edge has two.
A Galaxy S7 Edge wrap is only successful if it accommodates this distinctive design feature to create superior coverage. The skin you choose must be designed with the Galaxy S7 Edge in mind, so it can attach to the phone leaving no pieces uncovered (except for the touchscreen, of course) or flaps overhanging (especially on the touchscreen). Therefore, your skin must be engineered and cut with precision – the more accurate the better. For a fit that matches the S7 Edge to the micro-millimeter, check out Galaxy S7 Edge skins from dbrand. They’ve refined a highly accurate process so they can offer the tightest fit possible, and you can see how well it fits on their build-a-skin feature.
Protection
Genuine 3M vinyl is a deceivingly thin and flexible material; however, it’s durable and resilient when put up against careless or rough handling. Made tough to withstand sharp objects and rough surfaces, it can save your phone from bearing the evidence of any damage. The material is also highly texturized compared to the phone’s original glass backing, so it provides some traction against your fingertips – decreasing your chances of ever dropping it and breaking it for good. Touch it as much as you want, it won’t collect grease and oil from your hands like the glass does. As a result, your Galaxy S7 Edge is safe from scuffs and smudges.
Style
Next to fit, the look of an Edge skin is the major contributing factor to its suitability. In fact, these two features go hand in hand. Fit won’t amount to much if its coloring or pattern doesn’t look good and vice versa. The colours and textures of these S7 Edge wraps must be worthy of the phone itself, so don’t settle for any skin retailer that can’t offer the selection you need. Expect highly quality, precision-cut 3M vinyl skins to come in bright pink carbon fiber, ultra-chic zebra wood, or space-age silver. If a retailer can only offer a handful of boring colors, move along to the next one.
Avoid plastic cases and ill-fitting vinyl that only manage to cover up the phone. Get a 3M vinyl skin that draws attention to the fact that you have the top phone of the year in your hand. It may take a while, but once you find these 3 major features in one skin, you’ll find a wrap that’s designed to enhance your Edge while protecting it.
