I really like this app but to be honest, but I struggle trying to access it with a case on my S25, even when I set the handle to be. thicker.

When I factor in using swipe gesture navigation, which I prefer over buttons. It becomes more challenging. 

Could Samsung investigate other options to initiate the Edge panel. I thought access from the bottom of my phone might help but I also use that to access Gemini and Samsung Pay.

I'm not sure the solution here is other than to not have a case on my phone (it worked well when I take the case off) but that is also not ideal. 

Maybe the ability to create a short cut app to access edge on my homescreen?

Samsung, please help because I really do like edge panel.

Hi Tao77,

Thanks for sharing your experience with Edge Panel. We understand that accessing it with a case and while using gesture navigation can be challenging. Your suggestions like alternate access options or even a shortcut on the home screen are very helpful. We’ll pass this feedback along to the relevant team for consideration.

I use a Spigen Tough Armor case with the handle set to thick...never had an issue accessing the handle with this case.

Samsung cases are typically really good.

I understand the Edge Panel well and "dbrand" cases address this exact situation by adding a "ramp for your thumb" angle on the case for accessing things requiring a gesture like Edge Panel.

I was thinking about going with their Z Fold7 case because of both this and the hinge protection the "dbrand" case offers.

This will only be my second non Samsung OEM case.
