Galaxy S6 Edge’s cover stripping off:

Although this is just an issue with Galaxy S6, its best to have a solution at hand in the case of the Edge S6. Though most users would have wanted a removable back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S6, this problem can be pretty annoying. The back cover of the Samsung S6 striping off is not because of a battery bulge, or your battery overheating, if you haven’t been mishandling your phone then there is no reason to be panic, this can happen for no reason at all.

Solution:

If you don’t want the hassle and you are still covered by a warranty, you should probably head over to your retailer.There have only just been isolated reports on the problem, so it is too early to determine if it’s a general problem the Galaxy S6 series.

Solution:

The Android 5.1.1 upgrade is your solution, so if you updated your Galaxy S6 Edge, you should probably consider it.
