The case is fine, if you are into that kinda thing.
I come from a Galaxy Note so like a flip cover and after a couple of days the cover is fine staying closed.
Not had any flash bleed from my pink phone that others have experienced.
I am actually gonna swith to a bumper case for my main use though as I use a magnetic doc and it doesn't work with that
(having said that.. it is easy enough to get in and out of the case to not irk me)
Doesn't feel like it will slip out of the case at all
Photos attached (hopefully.. my first photo upload!)
Thanks for uploading these photos, I have one on order

I had this case. Untill i had issues with the screen. Issues like lockscreen freezing and notification bar tripping and locking as well. Obviously I can't really prove it's because of the case, but when I removed the case, those issues no longer occured. Just a warning. I think it's because of the creditcard-area, thats a little thick.
If someone could confirm this? I hope not ofcourse. But it's really hard to say it was not because of the case, because the only time I had those issues was when the case was on.

Yes.
Same Issues.
Don't have any of these issues. Also have the carbon patterned one. I have mixed feeling about the case. Really dislike it's incompatible with either the DK31/32 dock from Sony (it claims to be an official Sony approved case), and secondly the cover flap has to much freedom of moving when closed, makes it look quite cheap. Still on the lookout for a flipcover case that will fit in the dock.
I have this case - it's the worst case I've had for any phone..... Have issues with my music skipping when the phone is in my pocket, pretty sure it's the case.
It's incredible that Roxfit are actually the OFFICIAL accessory provider for Sony Xperia phones....
My Case_Mate Barely-There case is on order and due to arrive end of the month. I've had the Case_Mate Barely-There for every phone I've owned, and it has never let me down.....

ohmigod...
this has happened to me too!
I thought this was related to the other screen issue some have had and it would never have occurred to the that the case would cause this,
(also.. it didn't happen until recently... hmm.. i did recently use the card holder in the flap.. but not sure if that was the start point of the touchscreen issues)
i have now switched over to the Krusell Frostcover (just yesterday),.. so i am intrigued if the issues occur now (normally the issues happen a couple of times a day).. will respond back tomorrow
btw.. loving the frostcover!
damn.. this is a shame.. I like the Roxfit case up til this point (i really do like book covers for mobiles, just becuase i am so nevous about the screen).. but do agree with many of the complaints listed by others in this thread (i just don;t find them that bad)

My mate at work says said the same about the one he got for his Z1, his main issue was having to flip it open every time, which is why I could never own this style of case and he's stopped using his now.

Hi Guys,
i am thinking of buying a DesireZ at the end of the month. The so called "Hinge-Problem" is none for me (tried the phone in some stores), BUT:
I fount a topic on a german forum, where many users report of color-changes near the metal-parts on the plastic of their phone - some think it is caused by some bags, others say it is the plastic itself which changes color perhaps because of water or sweating....
Here is a link to some pictures a guy posted there to show you what i mean: http://img19.imageshack.us/g/pc0343121024x768.jpg/
On the Pic 2 and 3 you see some red/purple spots....
Can anyone here confirm this??
If this is a material-problem (and this is what it looks like, because users say they tried everything to remove the color without succes....) this would be a no-go for me to buy this phone
Pls help me

The point is, that this guy is not the only one.... there are many concerning about this problem which confuses me a little (maybe i should pick another phone....)
probably from rubbing in my opinion
This is a known issue. Someone brought this up in a thread on here not too long ago. Some people said their phone changed color without the bag. I'm thinking it might have something to do with the oil from your hands when you old the phone or the acid. I had a pair of glasses do the same thing, and the eye doctor said it was due to the acid in my skin or something along those lines. I put a case on my phone and have had no problems so far.
That's to bad
Go buy a cheap g1 oem slip case thing. I love mine. I got 4 sitting right here next to my bed since I loose them all the time they r like 3 bucks a piece

Hmmm too bad had many phones but never had any problems like this - and in my opinion a phone for more than 500€ should have better material than THIS
I guess i will have a closer look on the DHD since i never heared about big problems there

I've been using one of these slip cases on my phone since I got it. Its a great fit and protects my phone from the innards of my pockets =)
Needless to say, I don't have any discoloration issues here.
ah yes.. I have this problem too.. I brought it to the service center and they change the housing for me.. and the back feels sticky too i feel that this is due to charging the phone and the back of the phone gets too hot..
I bought a cheap holster for my Nexus One and now it has similar markings as those pictures, now for my Z I bought a OEM HTC Leather holster, yes it was a bit expenssive but so far nothing the Z is like new. moral of my story ? spend a little extra get a better case or holster etc, stay away from chepos.
i have some discoloration on the gray plastic on the sides of the keyboard. The demo unit at our t-mobile also has it too.
I have no discoloration on my phone what so ever. But I keep mine in a sleeve style case. I have had out since launch. In my opinion, u won't get much better build quality then this phone. At least not on an android.

My wife has red discoloration on the corners of her G2. Hers is from a new red purse she got. It has a little pocket that her phone fits in and I believe the dye leached into the plastic.
My G2 has no color issues but the film is coming off my battery case as seen in other threads.

desire z
iv had mine since it was released and i dont have it in any kind of case, im pretty carefull with my stuff.
i use it every day and have dropped it a couple of times. i have no discoloration or scratches.
same thing with my "z" but its not a " carring case" issue
I have red coloration on the corners near the track pad
I did contacted clove.co.uk where I bought it and they said that they contacted the HTC and they said that there is no red base plastic used and it's not the coating coming off and that was caused by some external contact. Well, I carried it in the jeans pocket made of dark red fabric, but is that really extreme conditions to dye the coating that easy? I don't think so.
No issues with mine, I luv it.
Have 3 different cases and no issues.
Hi fellows,
I realize there are already a number of threads for Note 8 case discussion, and what I am going to ask is also what others have asked in different threads. Still, I want to get a clear answer, if at all possible.
I'm a proud owner of N5110, and now trying to decide on a case. I've found amazing looking leather cases on amazon.de but they all seem to have sleep/wake function, which translates into, the cover has magnet. Now, I've been reading about all the people complaining about magnet case causing permanent damage to something in the screen that causes the S-Pen to stop working on the spots where magnet come into contact with the screen. Then I also see that some people are denying it, saying it doesn't make sense. Then I know that Samsung's original folio case has magnet in it. So, what's the deal?
For anyone interested in these cool cases, here are the links:
http://www.amazon.de/Manna-UltraSli...-sportroten/dp/B00COKD04C/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_3
http://www.amazon.de/Boenso-Design-...onsfunktion/dp/B00BZ3NG5M/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_2
http://www.amazon.de/UltraSlim-Tasc...tion/dp/B00C323U7I/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_4
Also, is there are point in buying original Samsung screen protector or a €5 protector off of eBay works as good?
Thanks!

My suspicion would be the strength of the magnet. So unless there are others with testimonies on whether a certain 3rd party case does or does not affect the screen, there is probably no way to know before you buy. Or if you really like the looks of a case, you may be able to cut and remove the magnet, without affecting the looks of the case too much. Or of course, you can get a case without the sleep/wake function.
Posted this in page two of another thread but just wanted to make sure people saw this in case they didnt read it before they purchased the Surface case with the kickstand. Gonna call them tomorrow to make them aware:
I ordered my Surface case, received it today and I'm having issues. When the bottom piece of the outer shell slides on the screen goes dark. Cannot turn it back on. If I slide off the bottom piece it comes on, when it slides back on it puts the screen back to sleep. If i take a stand alone magnet and put it up to the back of the phone where the kick stand would be it turns off. Thinking there is a design flaw. Gonna call Seidio tomorrow. Kinda sucks I've been waiting for their holster for a while now.
Edit: Definitley a design flaw, I found this on Google's Nexus 6P help forum:
"I have found there is a magnetic sensor in the Nexus 6P to detect when the folio case cover has been closed so as to lock and turn off the screen of the phone. The sensor is located in the bottom left corner when looking at the front of the 6P. I found that this sensor also reacts to a magnetic field applied to the back side of the Nexus 6P in this same area (bottom right corner when looking at the back of the 6P). Herein lies the problem... When trying to use Android Beam through NFC by holding the back of the 6P to the back of another device, a magnetic field from the other device (the speaker perhaps) can trigger the magnetic sensor in the Nexus 6P, causing the Nexus 6P to lock and go to sleep before the NFC sensors have aligned. Both my OnePlus One and my Neuxs 7 2013 will put my Nexus 6P to sleep if I don't hold them carefully enough when trying to align the NFC sensors. Can anyone else confirm this? Why does this sensor also pick up magnetic fields on the back of the phone? Is there a way to disable the magnetic sensor if not using a folio case so this does not happen when trying to use Android Beam?"
That's a big problem..
Could you please post some pics of the phone with the case?
Thanks!

I'll have to see if mine suffers the same issue when it arrives. I have 2 Nexus 6P's to test it on, so that should provide a little better sample size.

Going to call them in the morning. I'll post the response I get.
I also REALLY want the Surface case, but I'm holding off until more people receive theirs and post whether they experience the same thing. I've had a Surface case on all my phones for several years. It's the slimmest I've found, gives the best protection, and the kickstand doesn't add much bulk. Can't tell you how many times I've dropped my phone and never had a problem.

Agreed. Some of the best cases I've ever used on my phones.
Spoke to them this morning and explained the issue. They created an RMA and are going to ship out a modified version, I'm assuming without the kickstand. I was told not to worry about sending back the old case so I'm gonna see if there is a way to get the kickstand out in the meantime without destroying the bottom half.
My Sedio case is arriving today (earlier than expected), so I will post a review in my case OP. If the issue is present on either of my 6P's I will let everyone know.

I would actually prefer the case w/o the kickstand. I don't like the bump it creates. So hopefully they will release the case w/o it.

Mine doesn't have that issue at all. I'm using the case now, and I will post my review later today. I'm not that impressed with the way Sedio did their button cutouts, but more on that later.
Edit: It seems that the bottom piece on my case wasn't pushed up completely becasue when I removed the case and put it back on the screen kept shutting off/staying off depending on how I installed it.
I received the case yesterday and also immediately noticed the problem. I called they are also sending me a replacement.
Meanwhile, I popped out the kickstand and turned it around and it seems ok for now. with it flipped around, you can't get your nail in to open the kick stand so its essentially useless.
Its really unfortunate that they didn't catch this design bug before shipping.
(I will say, this case makes the 6P feel really thick - I'm trying to decide if I like it or not)

Out of curiosity how did you do that. I've been trying to figure out how to accomplish that.
I called sedio because my case bows outward on one side where the two pieces connect, but they refused to help me because I order from their Amazon store. Their customer service is horrendous, and the agent (Shane) I spoke with was rude about anything I asked. I'm disappointed with their service, and case so far. I plan on sending it back immediately because of how they handled a simple question.
Edit: I finally spoke with a manager, and after having her repeat the same thing a few dozen times (in between no letting me say anything) they are sending me a replacement. I can't say I've encountered a CSR this bad in a long time, so I will try to ignore their rude representatives and use the case.

The stand is just held in place by the black tape... you can see the black tape on the inside of the case. So you just gently push on the silver metal stand out the back - it should slowly release... it takes a little finesse but it's not terribly difficult.
Then once it's out, all you need to do is flip it around and stick it back in place...
Although the stand isn't accessible in this new orientation, at least, the case will work without turning the phone off.
I have the same issue with the screen turning off when the bottom part is slid on. Called them up and they're are sending a new modified version. They better send it 2nd day express which I paid extra for!

Can you post any pics? My biggest concern (once they iron out this magnetic closing issue) is the thickness. I have the Spigen Rugged Armour and love the sleekness, but I'd like a kickstand since I often watch stuff on my phone. Any more comments regarding the thickness and pictures would be great!

You can see my review of the case and pictures right here
The holster seems to be a bit spooky how it is designed. The phone hovers about an 1/8" above the surface from about midway up the holster to the top clamp. There is an 1/8" lip where the phone is placed on at the bottom of the holster where it rests. Maybe I'm being overly cautious here but it seems the phone could be bent over time if inserted enough times because of that extra space beneath the phone. .
Hi there.
I've got the problem that I have to decide between two devices. P9 or H8.
The H8 looks, imo, better and feels better. A bit thicker and heavier. That's what I like, until now I use the one M8, there I know what I've got in my hands
The biggest deal breaker so far is the back side. Made of Glas. I hate this kind of coolness, that seems to be more important than durability.
Additional there is in Germany no warranty for the first months to get front or back replaced if broken.
So what's your experience with the phone? Already dropped it out of hand or pocket? Perhaps landing on back or front? Did it survive everything so far, or was a side broken?
Next point is the price, honor 8 399€, P9 519€....
If it would have a metal back.....
I'm looking forward for your answers!
Greetings
Patrick
You can read something from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/how-to/screen-strong-t3456686 it gets scratched easilly with micro scratches (As EVERY device with back glass. I know this because i had the xperia Z1 and my friend has S6 edge which got scratched too) and I guess as long as you get a case and dont drop it you should be fine.

Thanks for the link.
Well that means that I will call my market and NOT take it. They shall sell it someone else.
A case and a tempered glass is not the problem.
But a crack from a minor drop, and easy scratches and so on, not thank you. That's not worth a saving of 120 euro....
Damned.
..
Well if you dont have both hands left you wont drop it. That's up to you but i also prefer to buy phones in classic shops instead of dealing with sending my phone for repair through mail (in case of RMA). This is why i bought Honor 8 instead of OP3.
It's not just because of my left hands
I also got a child with 1,5 years. And believe me, somehow she always gets her hand on my phone. And yes, I am sometimes a little bit left handed. My M8 fell down several times, always in a case, but never something (noticeable) happened. But it's getting sooooo slow, I need to make factory reset at least once a month to get a smooth phone back. That's annoying. And that's the point why I need a new one. Or want a new one. Depends on the point of view
And after I know that I definitely WILL let it fall down sometimes.... I go for some phone without a glass back. Seems to me a bit better for my money
And yes, I ordered the last phones on Amazon. But we hate each other now, so I will buy it at a store, or a bit cheaper at O2. But never ever again Amazon for electric stuff.
But I leave the point of this thread.
The glass seems to be ok, as long as you use a foil on the front and a case and never let it fall down.
Point one and two ist fine. Point three impossible. So I have to choose something else... Really a bit bad, cause I like the optic....
Point to add to this...
I've had my Honor 8 for a few weeks. I've never dropped it or set it face down. I don't put it in a pocket with anything else.
I've got a LOT of scratches on the face already. It's really disappointing. I looked online and to get a tempered screen protector (which looks like garbage because they don't cover the whole screen) I'd have to wait until mid October. I'm sure the screen will be in horrible shape by then.
I love the phone but they cheaped out on an important part.

Did you check out Amazon for screen protectors? I found a few on there BUT the best one in my opinion is the Skinomi FULL BODY wrap. I'm getting that one plus a clear case and that should protect it to a certain degree. I've used the Skinomi full body wraps on my HTC's and they work great at protecting from minor drops and scratches....
Good luck!!

What are you talking about? The phone was advertised as having 3 months warranty on the screen.

Yeah the ones on amazon ship to me in October, no earlier. I'm pretty disappointed because I don't use cases or screen protectors on my phones, but my Nexus 5X was fine for 8 months so far with no scratches. I've had this one less than a month and it's starting to get bad.
My phone is about 14 days old. Already have a crack along the antenna line. love the phone otherwise and just want to know if anyone else has the issue. I always have it in a case.

Don't know what kind of case you have. I bought the tech 21 it's really rigid. I won't be sitting on this phone lol. In the video he use an awful lot of force I'd never put that kind of force on my phone.

I have a case that is more on the soft side but I haven't really done much to my phone besides put it in my pocket.
Wow that is so sad! I saw Jerry rigs strength test and it cracks during the bend test at 4 points where the antenna is. Oh god this phone is a nightmare then
Well.. send it it since you still have warranty?
Let's see how widespread an "issue" this is really going to be. I bet it won't be at all. [emoji1]

Was it your back pocket?
I smell a troll that saw a youtube video! LOL
I called support yesterday after reading the reports. Tier 1 rep went to Tier 2 to find out. He claimed that this would be covered by warranty barring other evidence of accidental damage - ie; fired from a cannon directly into a woodchipper. I guess I can't play hacky sack with the thing.

Why exactly does that make this phone a nightmare? The pressure they put on this phone in the test is WAY more than anyone would typically put on it. Put it in your back pocket and sit down, probably, but that would likely be any phone. I've had a ton of different phones, and never, ever had one bend. Even my Blackberry pearl, EVO, or nexus s. Those were way before phones were very sturdy. I seriously doubt most folks will bend this phone.

No cracks BUT I have official Google case for the xl (grey fabric) and just from taking it in/out of case some of the paint near the seam is coming off. WTF Google!!?? All black variant so I'm pretty pissed. Love the case but how the hell!? It's been in a case since minute 1 and never spent a second naked in my pocket or otherwise.

Seems like it's a big F for the glossy finish for the black variant. You could try to warranty it out and see what happens.

So as soon as you put it in the case this happened? Well it had to have since it was never outside a case for even a minute. But then you are taking it in and out of the case therefore it's been out for some time. I'm slightly confused as to if it's been out of a case or not. Nonetheless, I had a fabric case on my P3a and that thing is nearly impossible to get off. I did take it off once before the final time and it took me quite some time to get the phone out without damaging it. I'm not sure if the 4xl is the same but you definitely should get a replacement, put it in the case and leave it there.
I agree. I have the Pixel fabric case and find it impossible to take off. I find a good way is to take off the left side completely first. Don't try to take off from the top or bottom.

Sure I take it out but it's never touched a surface and never been in my pocket without a case. Primarily using new Pixel 4XL case from Google. It's pretty upsetting.
Probably the taking in and out of the case that's doing it. The stock Google cases fit very tightly, something that holds true with the two aftermarket cases I've also purchased. None of them were easy to get the phone in and out of and were/are tighter than I expect from a case. I mean so far the thing I've done with my phone that is most likely to break a phone is putting it in the cases I've owned.
On the bendy thing I don't buy it at all; it's not just a significant force applied but also done so in a very particular way on the very tip of the ends with a fulcrum in the middle. Try and imagine how you will apply a similar loading to the frame in actual use and it isn't easy to come up with a scenario. Not saying they wont bend or cant be broken but I am saying that I would be very skeptical of anyone claiming they encountered this damage in normal use.
One last thought here is that I wonder or question where the bar is, how strong should the phone be? Obviously it should be able to stand up to the rigors of the day to day but are we starting to expect too much? I'm actually asking, not sure if I can define a realistic expectation for a phones strength. I do feel however that some people are asking too much from what with current technology is inherently going to be a somewhat fragile piece of electronic equipment.
One question did they ever have a bend test for flip phones? Short answer no! Why they would snap in half. I agree I think we are expecting these phones to be tanks.
Here is a better question. Who puts a 1,000 dollar device in their back pocket like it's a .25 cent pack of gum? ?

The real question is where are you finding packs of gum for 25¢?
