Is your port rough or tight to plug in? If so, has it loosened up a bit over time?
Mine's practically fallen out since the day I got it.
On the Pad, its fairly loose and floppy. But on the keyboard dock, its pretty snug and tight.
Sung fit on both with a reassuring "click" when fully inserted.
That's not very reassuring....

Seems like I'm the only one so far. It hasn't been an issue for me, but my tablet fitting is not snug like it is on the dock.
Buy it from a reputable retailer (e.g., Amazon) and test it when you get it. If it's not to your liking, exchange it. No problem, really.
Has anyone here ever used one of these cases. The rubber-ness looks pretty good. Does it stay on well? Is the rubber over the keyboard a pain to type with?

I've never used something like this, curious if it works though.
On the picture it looks kinda loose around the Z, that might be my eyes messing up though.
Offtopic: Comic Sans font on the picture...
So I ordered one and it just got in the mail today. So far it seems pretty good. It stays on just fine and has a nice rubber texture. What I really don't like about it is that the part covering the keyboard doesn't have any letters on it. So it is basically a blank keyboard. I'll try to do something about that. If anyone can think of something good to mark the keys with that would be great, because I am expecting a Sharpie to wear of quickly. So far I like it.

I do not know why you need this when your phone has semi-metalic case and gum

When you say the phone has a semi-metallic case and gum, what exactly do you mean? Are you talking about the phone being made partly out of metal?
I mean the metal backdoor of the battery and some another part's with metal around the screen
Looks real similar to mine
That might be what I have and I like my case. Soft (not hard) comes off easy if you need to get to battery, etc.

I see what youre saying, I just think it doesnt hurt to have a little more proctection.
Sent from my Desire Z (well not really, just a G2 with a Sense rom)
I just got it from Amazon. The first thing I thought when I got it was "wow, it's not even wrapped in plastic. someone can just open it without leaving any mark." I turned the box upside down to see what's underneath it, and there were two broken seals. They read "DO NOT ACCEPT IF SEAL IS BROKEN."
I opened the box and checked everything (without turning it on), but I was not able to find any flaw. I even saw an unboxing video on YouTube to compare, and everything seemed exactly the same.
So I have a choice to make: keep it or return it.
If I return it, I have to either wait until Monday to get it shipped or go to a store tomorrow. If I go to store, I end up spending more than $50 additionally due to tax.
If I keep it, well, I have it now.
Well I obviously wanted it as soon as possible, purchasing it on the day it became available. So I don't know what to do. Do you guys think it will be fine to just use it? I guess I can still return it any time (is it for a month for Amazon?) if it turns out to have any flaw, and because I really want to keep it, I feel like keeping it.
What do you guys think?
Well amazon do tend to break the seal to make sure everything is in there, happened to me a few times but as long as it works I don't bother with it. Zedomax had made some unboxing videos and his device also had seal broken but worked fine so if it works then I think you should be alright

Mine was the same, if that makes you feel better. Everything seems to be in order for me, too. Think I'll keep mine.
I did get a small ziploc that hold a small metal ring and several small black and white plastic rods, but haven't figured out their purpose, yet.

I see. It looks like they do it on purpose then. I also don't know what those ring and rods are for haha.

The small ziploc seems to be delivered, I've seen it on several unboxing videos on Youtube.
I think it's containing replacement "tips" for the S-Pen, according to page 38 in this manual (in Swedish, but I think you get it anyway :fingers-crossed you can replace the tip on the S-Pen.
Edit: You can see the ziploc in this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2LhHcbTsz0&feature=player_detailpage#t=46s

Haha, I don't know Swedish, but you are definitely right.
yeah hes right. i actually tried to pull it out and i lost it haha, thank god they gave me 5 more!
I got mine at Best Buy for in-store pickup today and immediately noticed that 1 of the 2 seals was broken. Asked them to go get me another one and both seals on it were still intact. Not sure what's going on here, lol

VERY ODD indeed! Mine also purchased from Worst Buy had one of its two seals broken but everything was as new.
Why do you think this is?
Jumping in with a 'one of mine was broken from Amazon' as well. That's less of a problem for me than their new shipping company just leaving my tablet outside the door to my apartment. Apparently 'signing' is too much trouble for them. Never thought I'd miss UPS
My G'Note 10.1 came wrapped in the plastic. You can see in this video when I opened the tablet, but then again maybe because it's the 3G version.

I don't know, the girl working the pickup counter suggested it could've happened during shipping... I think more likely an employee started to open it and then changed his/her mind, lol
Could have been a demo....
I wouldn't worry too much about it. That happens sometimes on Amazon. I think they are checking to make sure the proper item is in the box.
As long as the tablet has all of its original protective plastic on it and functions properly it is likely unused.

Please change the title of your post to lower case. There was no need to shout this. Thanks.
I returned the broken seal one to Amazon and they overnighted me a new one!! Seal was intact on the new one.

The ring is for you to tie York wire and the rubber stick is fir you to change the S Pen Lead .
Hey guys. I'm glad to be a member in the forum.
I just received my first tablet/android device; the grey 32 GB Note 10.1 from Amazon. It came in a plain cardboard box with no Amazon markings except for the text on the return label reading: "Amazon Fulfillment Services, 172 Trade St. Lexington, KY 40511" No packing slip and no padding/popcorn. The actual product box (slightly scuffed) had both product seals broken and says "16GB" on the lid's top in the lower left corner but the a white sticker on the side of the lid says 32GB.
Does any of the above sound strange? I think I'm going to return it unless you guys suggest otherwise.
I am wondering if your ever encountered such case.
Basically, I am thinking on a case that allows a faster cool-down of the phone....

Probably the closest you'll get to such a thing would be to get a metal back cover replacement to conduct the heat away better than the plastic one does.

Did you hear that "Roberto Duran" is getting his own movie. It comes out next year and stars Robert DeNiro and Usher. "'Hands of Stone" " is the title I think.
Sorry, just noticed your flag and thought of that.

I'd not heard about it until you mentioned it, but it looks like it will be a great movie. Oddly enough, my wife knew about it when I asked her.
This vid shows how easy and simple it seems to take apart and peel the back cover although it's on another language. Just wondering has anyone done it already. Looks kind of cool

watch the jerry rig everything teardown. he does the same to his device. you will probably lose any water resistance though since you are tearing up the adhesive strip that holds the back panel on.
Get a case with a clear back, and have a custom skin made with the insides.
Put the skin on the back of the phone and the case on top.
They'll sell it on witrigs soon enough for like $45US

That would kinda work although it's too easy and fake.
I probably will if I break my back plate, because at that point, why not? I did it to my Samsung S8+, and loved it.
I won't be removing the back of the phone just to do it though. I prefer water resistance.

I just ordered one of these for my 7 Pro and S10+.
I'll post pictures once I receive them (could take awhile based on Slick Wraps history)
