There are cases for the S7 Edge. The ones I've seen are pretty low
profile. They basically cover the back and wrap up over the top and the
bottom, leaving the sides clear. They also have screen protectors, but
I've heard they're pretty tricky to get installed and wrap around the edges.
I don't use cases myself, so I don't research this issue much, but like
I said I have relations and friends who have cases on their S7 Edges.
There could also be cases for the S7 Edge that I haven't seen, but I'm
sure a web search will lead you or anyone else to more information.

It sounds to me as if one couldn't use the edge features if the device was in a
case, as a case needs to cover the edges to hold it to the device, unless, of
course, I could just totally not understand this.

Subject: Re: listening and charging and thoughts on the presentation
I don't think it's stupid at all. Remember, I don't have an S7 Edge myself, so
I'm just going by what I've read, what I've seen on lists and what my friends
and relatives who have an S7 Edge have told me.
The curved edges give you a bit more real estate in the same form factor. The
S7 Edge for example has a 5.5 inch screen while the S7 has a
5.1 inch screen and the dimensions are basically identical.
The Edge can be used a bit easier with one hand since you can place your
favorite contacts and apps on the edges and reach them with the fingers of the
hand holding the device. You can also have information sent to the screens on
the edges, so for example, you could place your phone face down so you won't
get interrupted with vibrations or ring tones but still see messages appear on
the edges or have them change colors to indicate you have a call or a message
from someone in particular.
Samsung recently opened up the interfaces to the edges, so app developers can
now think of all sorts of ways to take advantages of the edges.
Finally, it just makes the S7 Edge look and feel cool!
I'm not sure how much a blind person can take advantage of these features, but
like I said, I'd expect an Apple implementation to be similar and accessible.
Apple will also open this up to developers down the road, if Apple takes this
path, and again you'll have innovative app developers coming up with all kinds
of things.

Christopher, can I ask a very stupid question? What is the difference
between the run-of-the-mill Android and the Edge? Obviously it has to
do with the edges of the phone, but what and what does it do? Thanks.

I've read on different Android lists both that the edges of the S7
Edge are accessible and that they're not. The difference seems to be
that people who state they're accessible tend to actually have an S7
Edge, whereas those who say they aren't accessible don't and are just
repeating what they've heard. Therefore, I tend to think the edges are
accessible, but I don't have an S7 Edge myself. Either way, if an
iPhone were to have edges then I'm sure Apple would make them
accessible with VoiceOver. That doesn't mean that they'll turn out to
be particularly useful for a blind person, or a sighted person either.

Well that's interesting, since I have read on the android list that
the edge part is absolutely not accessible. I don't own one, so I'm
only basing my statement on what I heard from others who supposedly do.

Hi Sieghard,
I think the extra battery life, especially in the 6S versus the
seven, it's kind of compelling. That might be enough to let me not
use a battery case, which I find I have to do and have had to do
ever since my first iPhone, a for S. The improved sound will be
nice, but it wouldn't be compelling for me in and of itself. The
loss of the headphone jack doesn't make a difference to me
personally. So I'm going to go for an upgrade from a 6S to a seven.
I don't like the plus. It's too big. I'm actually not so sure I'm
looking forward to a new form factor. They are talking about the
curved thing like Samsung has with their edge. As I understand it,
that extra screen, the edge, isn't accessible. Now maybe Apple will
find a way to make that happen. Still, I just don't see the point.
Wireless charging, still don't care. Better screen? Again, don't
care. So all the new stuff they're talking about for next year I
guess I just don't find all that appealing. Different strokes.

Hi Reggie,
Which phone do you currently have? If it is a 6/6 Plus or earlier
the upgrade is probably OK, if you have a 6S or 6S Plus there is
little reason to do so unless maybe you have a hearing impairment
where the extra volume they claim may make a difference. Of course
if you use a hearing aid the absence of the 3.5mm headphone jack
may have a negative impact. I definitely don’t see a reason to
upgrade my 6S Plus until next year especially knowing that next
year’s iPhone is very likely to be a much bigger deal.

Sieghard

*Subject:* listening and charging and thoughts on the presentation
Apple just took care of not being able to listen with wired
headphones and charging. For 49 dollars there is an Apple dock
that allows listening and charging. Saw it in Mac Daily News. I do
not know how to give a link, sorry.
Now, my simple thoughts about the roll out the 7 and 7 plus. Lots
and lots of visual improvements, but nothing said about Siri or
accessibility. Was disappointed, but just for the stereo speakers
and more volume I will take my upgrade.
