The case fits my S7 edge nicely, but it hides the great lines of the phone itself. Having said that, I would still recommend the case, as the S7 edge definitely needs a case. The edge feature is still visible with the case installed. The only downside I find, is that the phone buttons are hard to push with the case installed. It takes a fair amount of pressure to get either the power button or the volume buttons to move. I looked (and am still looking) for a case with a kickstand, and a belt clip, but these seem far and few between. Otterbox makes one in their defender series, but that case is a monster. I prefer the relatively non-intrusive case of the Symmetry series.

This is a handy little charger. With the built in stand, I can watch videos, listen to music, and use it any way I like all while charging my phone. I like the fact that it'll also charge in landscape orientation, so videos can be watched full screen. I use this with my Samsung s7 edge with an Otterbox Symmetry case with no problems at all. It is a fast charge charger, but if the phone gets too hot, you can disable fast charging in the phone settings. I haven't noticed excessive heat while charging. All in all, a nice addition to my S7 gear.

This Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge has a certified water-resistance rating in case of accidents, and its 3600 mAh battery offers plenty of juice.

Nice phone, great screen

After a brain dead maneuver while decorating for Christmas, as I watched as my S5 drop from the upper foyer to the floor below, resulting in a broken phone, it was time to get a new one. I picked up the S7 edge at a good price, since it was on sale. First impressions is that this is a very nice phone. It is considerably faster than my S5. The battery life far exceeds the S5, with about 20% to 40% remaining by the end of the day. On the minus side is the fact that Samsung has jumped on the non-replaceable battery wagon. Previous Samsung phones had replaceable batteries. Perhaps it has to do with the IP68 rating, but I find this annoying. I'm guessing most people trade in their phones for the latest and greatest, but I tend to hold onto a phone longer than that. The phone is much faster than the S5, and the screen seems to be much brighter (if needed) than the S5. The phone seems a bit "slippery" with no case, so I would definitely recommend a case, even though this detracts from the looks of the phone. I love the wireless charging; just lay it down on the charger and your good to go. I purchased the unlocked version, because we'll be moving in the second quarter of this year, and I can switch carriers if some other carrier has a better signal where we're going. Right now I'm with Verizon. One word of caution is that with an unlocked phone, most of your Verizon apps will not work on an unlocked phone. Messenger is the only Verizon app I've found that works. If you do get an unlocked phone, make sure you use something other than Verizon Cloud to backup your data, since after activation, you can no longer recover from Verizon Cloud. Found that out the hard way. The edge feature is "meh". Sounds better than is is. All in all, I'm very happy with this phone. That may change in a few years when the battery will no longer take a charge.

Does what it should with no wires.

My previous bluetooth mouse died. After researching mice, I chose this one. So far, it's been trouble free. I like the fact that you can program the functions of the wheel and buttons after downloading and installing software from Logitech. Movement is smooth, and buttons work as they should. I'm using this on my desk surface, and also on my jeans if I'm leaning back in the chair relaxing.

I have a Galaxy S5 with a USB 3.0 connector. The cable that came with the phone is used exclusively for the charger (although I could use it for other things...too lazy, I guess). This cable allows me to connect my phone to my laptop to download music and such.

Six foot micro-USB does what it should. I also purchased a 10' version of this cable, but that cable had an undersized micro-USB connector that kept on slipping out of any device.

Undersized micro-USB connector

A cable is a cable is a cable. Or so you'd think. The 10' length is great, but the micro-USB connector is undersized, and slips out easily from any device into which it is inserted.

Fast to install, fast to boot.

I purchased this drive to speed up an "antique" laptop that was responding very slowly. The installation was painless due to the fact that all I had to do is remove one screw on the bottom of my laptop, swap out the drive and get back to work. I previously had Windows 10 on this laptop, but rebuilt it after installing the drive with Ubuntu Linux. I don't know if Linux, the drive or the combination of both is responsible for the lightning fast boot time, but I really don't care. Bottom line, it's fast. For the price, this was a very good way to put a little more life into an otherwise s l o w machine.

Is the battery replaceable?
No, Samsung is following the pack with non-replaceable batteries on their phones. This way, you have to either buy a new phone when the battery will no longer hold a charge, or have someone "fix" it for you. I'm guessing if you take the latter route, the IP68 rating goes bye-bye.
