The slim armor adds thickness to the phone and as a result, i cannot connect my headphone in the 3.5mm jack completely.. it's like 3/4 inside but the phone does not detect it... anyone with the same problem? I have been searching on the net and no one seem to have this problem? is my slim armor a fake one or what?
I'm using a different spiegen case..similar to the slim armor but I forgot what it's called. Anyway I sort of have a similar problem. Normal headphones fit in the jack, but any headphone plugs that are big..like the Audio Technica ATH-M50s do not fit. Just a design flaw..it kind of sucks but I don't really care as much because personally I only use the small headphones when I'm out.
for me it's all headphones I have tried that do not fit.. I think I got a fake one. I have some reviews of the slim armor and they don't look thick as mine and the headphone jack location has a bigger a much bigger cutoff
I am going to cut it manually lol .. overall the "fake" case is pretty good and looks very solid but it's considerably thick... not really slim lol but I am going to keep it as the phone looks much more secured with it
I made the cutoff bigger using a knife.. it's perfect now

Anyone able to find a solid TPU case yet?
I got this cheap ebay one. It says "Luxmo" on the cellophane bag it comes in. Feels solid, fits pretty well, and I'm pretty sure every check-patterned TPU case being sold is made at the same factory in China anyway, so why pay more?
Oops, slight problem. The combination of the recessed headphone jack and the case is making it impossible for me to plug my Shure earphones in all the way. Not sure whether to get an iphone jack adapter or cut the hole a bit bigger.

Hey guys,
So I've been hearing that the Spigen Neo Hybrid limits the headphones you use because the cutout is so small...I also heard that pretty much any other charger besides the stock charger won't fit for the same reason. Is this true? This case looks beautiful and had I not done my research, I would've instantly purchased it. But I use Beats, and sometimes I use car chargers. Are these claims really true, and if so, can you recommend me a similar slim/thin case?

Hi,
I bought this case and it accept jack's Beat. This is the only jack I could fit through in.
You can also charge your device with any micro usb connector.

I have the same problem, but only with headphones that aren't Samsung, my headphones from Alcatel Idol X don't fit, so everytime I wanna listen to music, I have to take the case off, it kinda sucks but the case is AWESOME
My Sennheiser CX 300-II headphones fit very well with my Spigen Neo Hybrid case, i don't have any issues.
I have the same issue with a cassette adapter I use in the car. Consider an adapter or cable that uses a thinner plug assembly. I use this one with the cassette adapter so that the plug will fit without removing the case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008DWGLA0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i03?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The key term seems to be "slim 3.5mm connector".
I've had the Neo Hybrid and indeed the jack cutouts only fits the slim 3.5 mm jack. Charger cutout only fits the original size chargers. Currently I use the Slim Armor and the charger cutout is larger, so it fits mostly all chargers. Headphone jack is still slim unfortunately.
That's not the only problem w/ this case. The hole cutout to the usb port on the bottom makes the frame edges so thin it breaks easily. Already broke two frames and now using them the case w/o any frame. Ugly but at least I don't have the jack issue or breaking the frame problem anymore :laugh:
i had the same problem with diff. cases and started to file off material so that the plugs fit in -
in most of the times it´s not that much, that needs to be filed off.
i have the same issue
spigen neo hybrid jack cut out size is specially design for samsung handsfree
except you have other jack with small head
Get used to it. USB Type-C is thinner than micro-B (from what I have been able to glean from the web). Phones are only going to get thinner, and so will the nice cases unless you want some god-awful clunky thing like the otterbox stuff (I'd rather just buy a new phone than deal with one of those all the time). The frames are $10 shipped on Amazon. I have only broken one, and I do a lot of battery pulls flashing experimental stuff.
I have a pair of Shure Se215 headphones that I use and the connector is angled and fat. I have had a really hard time trying to find a case that doesnt add bulk to the top so I can plug them in.
Any suggestions? I had the same problem back when I had my iphone 4s and I went through about 3 cases before I finally found one that fit (Elago S4 case). I want to avoid bulk at all costs. I don't need a case that will protect much from drops, mostly just from laying flat on its back.

I had to sand the end of a couple headphones plugs down so they would fit into my spigen slim armour case. Not exactly what you want to here, I admit, but the 2 I sanded had a ton of extra plastic on the plug, and doing it affected nothing.
I just looked up those headphones.... holy crap is the end on that thing huge... Maybe you can drill out the headphone hole on a hard case?

I think thats what im going to end up doing. I went to a cell phone kiosk today and they only had a few terrible no-name chinese cases that worked, but I want something more premium.
Got a Spigen Neo Hybrid but I am gonna resell it because nor my earphones can plug nor my USB cables.
I saw the CaseMate Barely There and it looks like it's completely opened on top and USB sides meaning total openness to our earphones and USB :good:
Case-Mate Tough fits my SE535 without adjustment. I've had to cut to expand the openings of my TPU cases.
just get something like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/390534336745?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It plays the music through the bluetooth connection and you plus your headphone into this device. I use this when i'm on the train/subway so there are no wires to get in the way or hooked on anything.
It will probably be cheaper then a premium case anyways
buy something like this, its an 3.5mm adapter for headphones that wont fit into some cases... I have this and it works great!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/15cm-3-5mm-...P3_Player_Cables_Adapters&hash=item3cd00c995b
Drill out the original hole (I use a step drill bit). I've done that on multiple cases for the same reason. Go slow, takes 5 minutes.
BTW, I'm using the Spigen Slim Armor View, not a huge hole. Also I remember iPhones had issues with Headphone jacks not fitting and there was an adapter, that might be an option for ya.

Have you tried an UAG case. The headphone opening is generous. Plus, you will get great protection (even if you don't think you need it) with minimal bulk.

This is the solution most people should use. Spend $2-5 and you don't have to mod anything. Just stick it on the end of your headphones. If not this specific product there are several like this out there.

Except it's really inelegant and ugly.
Since people have already mentioned a number of cases in this thread that fit Shure IEMs, there's no need. Especially when the Tough is about the most customizable out there (check Etsy or Zazzle, there are tons of art/design options).
Hi!
Can someone please tell me whether we can use the earbuds with S6 without the silicone (rubber) buds on it?
My ear holes are normal size, the iphone's earbuds fit real well in them.
Something like the apple earbuds. They are without the silicone bud.
Thanks:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
I would imagine you can although it would be very uncomfortable and the sound wouldn't be as good as it would be with the silicone buds.
Thanks. But how is it apple's fit well? Do the sizes differ?
I mean if apple earbuds fit me well, will these too?
I just tried it and it's not comfortable at all without the silicone bud. The raised ear channel section feels sharp.
Apples are designed to be worn without silicone buds I would think. Probably why they're comfortable without.
Apple EarPods work well with the edge+ FYI
Ok thank you
Dear XDA forum,
As per the rule I have decided to create a thread with all my questions (I will include a TLDR as well).
TLDR: Looking for BT headphone, smartwatch and screen protectors that work with spigen slim armor case.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 1: Looking for a Bluetooth headphone for primarily the note 7 but can be used for other devices?
So as the question states, I am looking into bt headphones preferably on ear. I currently use a AudioTechnica ATH MSR7 with my pc at home but its to heavy to carry outside. Most wired headphones stop working because of damaged cable at the gym as well. So I am looking for a bt headphone with good audio signature (something like the audio technica i have), is lightweight, good build quality, great battery (with wired 3.5mm support), has built in microphone and aren't to flashy and won't smell bad due to sweat and will stay on my head during weight training and cardio. I have looked at some, boss qc 35 are amazing and feel great but to expensive, sony H'ear are too flimsy and plastic for my taste and don't have clear low ends, beats solo 2 sounded good but they are beats so I don't know. I haven't found a store with the Jabra moves so I don't know. Any help will be appreciated!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2: Looking to get a smart watch for my note 7?
So I am looking for a good smart watch to replace my sieko watch. Something with a clean look, scratch resistant, maybe even water/dust resistance, has fitness features, built in gps, allow me to control most of my apps, allow me to reply to text/email and make calls, etc. I am really loving the gear s3 frontier, should I wait for it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 3: When my replacement comes should I use my clearplex warrenty to get another screen protector and back protection or get a new protector and skin to go along with my case?
So I currently have a black onyx note 7 (which I will replace with another onyx note 7). I have the spigen slim armor case that is gun metal black. I love it and will be using it. So I currently have a clearplex hd screen protector and I love its feel, clarity and sensitivity compatibility with my phone. It works well and I don't loose any screen sensitivity or clarity. I was thinking of getting this screen protector applied to my new note 7 (when it comes) and also cover my phone back and sides to protect it from scratches since its already shatter resistant (due to gorilla glass 5) and my tpu layer case. The issue is that in the case it causes the screen to peel a bit even after 24 hour cure time (picture of my screen protector at the moment "imgur.com/a/gEMCW") so I am conflicted. I think it maybe because the screen goes edge to edge (which in theory should help scratch protection) so to people who have cases like the spigen slim armor or have used protectors like clearplex, what should I do? Is it worth switching protectors? is it worth to get skins to protect the back of the phone?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 3: Should i invest in wireless charging and extra type-c cable and a battery bank or just stick to extra cables and battery bank?
