I have a couple of cracks in my black Casemate bumper case. They're not that noticable, and they don't cause any structural problem, but they're a bit annoying.
I'm pretty sure it happened when I took my phone out of its case a few days ago to clean it a bit. Anyone else have this problem?
I can't post an image; apparently I'm too new.
I also have this problem. the part on top of the charger port cracked as it is the thinnest part
That's where mine cracked too.

no cracks in mine yet, but i have a different issue that is a bit annoying. recently the volume buttons have started sticking. i hit volume down, it scrolls all the way down, i hit volume up, it scrolls all the way up
edit: nevermind, the phone does it without the bumper

I am still psyched on getting this phone, but I have one issue that bothers me a bit, and I would like to know if anyone else can confirm it.
The black outer trim of the face of the phone that surrounds the screen seems quite scratch-able.
I have a screen protector that covers the phone from the four hardware buttons up, so that part's fine.
However, on the naked black chrome underneath the buttons (and to the right and left of the optical track pad), I already have a few slight, but enough to bother me kind of scratches.
Yes it is
It is very scratch prone..And do yourself a favor and do not use the BodyGlove case, which is the only case they had at Tmobile when I bought the phone. It ended up scratching the phone more than if I didnt have it on at all. I usually keep my phones in pristine condition so I can sell and trade up when the time is right. Ive had this phone for 3 weeks and it looks a year old already.. But it is a great phone despite its weight
Wow, what are you guys doing to your phones???
I have had the phone since the release date and mine looks brand new.

I keep mine inside the pouch my G1 came with, and have a small piece cloth to clean eye-glasses inside of it. No screen protector (the ones I got from Amazon SUUUUCCKKKEEEDD), but this one seems much more resiliant than my MyTouch3G slide.
My phone looks amazing. Had it sense day of release. and I got the black body glove.

mine isn't scratched b/c I'm using a full body Zagg that I got put on in less than 24 hours of receiving the phone. However, my phone met the side of a filing cabinet while in my Case Logic belt holder and the bottom side of the screen is 'dented' in near the 'home' button, so its like the screen isn't flush, I can feel a little ridge, the other side this isn't present.
so watch out for stuff like that! (phone still works 100% fine, fingers crossed!)
Guys, read what I said again. I'm talking about the black chrome plastic under the hardware keys. It's hard to see in light, but if you look closely, maybe you'll see some scratch(es)?
I'm not talking about the actual touchscreen, if that's what you guys mean...
@token2k6
I have the ZAGG full body shield too, but last time I remember the full body shield doesn't actually cover the entire front face of the phone, but from the bottom of the touchscreen upwards. (which leaves the hardware keys, the optical track pad and the black chrome design naked)
@RazoE
Me too! I still got the G1 case and am using it atm.
Check out the cases thread in the accessories forum. Answers are there.

keep the phone in one pocket and your keys in another.
I bought a d3o case for my daughters sk4g and add soon as I put it on it started messing up. Screen went blank and started vibrating these weird pulses. I looked on here but couldn't find anything.

u removed it to see if it mad a difference?
uhm yes, it doesnt freak out unless you put the d3o case on. then it starts vibrating these weird pulses and the screen goes blank.
is it a hard case or soft? becuase sometimes the case my be pressing on the power button and pressing on the volume button
you know that does make since. those d3o cases are real stiff, especially the buttons. I read somewhere that people were cutting those buttons out with a exacto detail knife. I guess I will try to pry it away from my daughter to look closer at those buttons.
Yeah that what happens to hardcase that's why I used the soft cover

Has anyone felt any empty spots on the back of their device?
When I'm holding the device in my left hand my thumb is on the front and fingers on the back. My forefinger hits this spot right above and a little further back than the card slot, and the case indents then if I shift the weight of the device at all it pops back out making a clicking sound. When this happens I feel the edge of the back piece move under my thumb as well.
It is a terribly minor issue but it's also annoying. As I'm reading the back of the device is popping in and out just a tiny bit and clicking.
Has anyone felt anything similar on their device? Should I just get a case and forget about it? I would hate to exchange something for this tiny little issue but it is very distracting (to me).

yes mine does it 2 its a lump of crap. i hate it with a passion that's why im selling it on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170811319...LX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_964wt_1344 and now im buying a galaxy nexus haha now that's quality. also it will be getting the new android 5.0 jellybean this year. our tab is good but not for what i what. i can not use it with out a case as it will scratch to bits. its almost like Samsung made it form a melted down coke bottle
hmm ive always heard these tiny click-like noises when i hold my tab without a case. annoyed me like crazy. i was thinking is was somehow the sd card slot cover. i'll check it out...
Well 10 minutes after posting, the Poetic case I ordered from Amazon arrived. Problem solved.
Primarily I wanted to know if the flexibility of the back cover was unusual. It seems to be so that greatly reduces the chances of exchanging it for one that doesn't have this issue.
Thanks for the help.

I guess I'm lucky I don't have that problem. (knocks on wood)

I personally haven't noticed it, but that's also because I have a folio case for it. No big woop, it works for me I'm happy.
I use my GT-P6210 naked, with nothing but a screen protector, and I haven't noticed anything like this. I've tried some gentle probing to look for soft spots. Nothing. Feels solid.

I don't have that problem either. And I've even dropped it a couple of times.

hi guys .i got this phone about 3 days ago and overall im amazed . gots all i need great speakers great display and great battery . im not a camera guy so camera iis fine for me 2 . such an amazing phone.
MY only issue :as i was holding my phone with one hand i noticed with my finger a soft spot in the back cover, in the ''idol'' logo to be accurate. so i pressed it and it made a clicky noise. like a clicker or something...that means that there is a noticable gap between the plastic cover and the battery ... the whole back cover seems solid but the spot that idol logo exists there is a gap... which worries me . has anyone noticed that ... if you havnt test this and info me plz . .. i wanna know so i can decide if i have to return the device for another one or not ,,ty in advance
edit: this was going me crazy so thought if i could press down some seconds the plastic could stick back again ... so i pressed down the idol logo for about half min ,, its seems more solid now the click sounds almost gone... so assume that was a glue problem,,,so if anyone has this kind of issue try to aply a power pressure for half secs its shoulb be good (for now)
The clicking noise you hear is just most likely the adhesive sticking and then peeling back off. The tape must've just peeled off in that one spot. Mine does not seem to do what you described so it's just a minor defect. You should get it replaced if it will bother you that much or just buy a hardshell case.

Does anyone else who has one of these cases have a problem with accidentally powering the phone off or hitting the volume rocker? I've always preferred a bumper case (especially for this fatty - anything with a back would just make this thing too thick) but didn't realize until now how important cut-outs are rather than buttons on the case. Every once in a while I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and pull it out only to see that it is restarting. This never happened with the cheap OEM case which had cut-outs. I'm about to take an exacto knife to it and cut those raised buttons out, but am afraid it'll be too hard to reach the buttons.
Maybe try shaving the case buttons down a bit.
I've had the Case-mate naked tough on since day one, haven't had a single problem with it. Although when I first installed it I had to reinstall it twice to make sure the buttons line up.. Awesome case, just a lil slippery on the back side, but overall I'm very happy with it.

Actually, I can press the power button just by pressing the case near the power button. It appears they didn't recess the case enough near the button, so shaving off the outside isn't going to help. It would probably be best to shave it down on the inside, but that would be very difficult. I think I'm just going to cut the button out.

That's a totally different case than this one.
I have the Vena and liking it. It shows scuffs and scratches but still shows off my custom back fine. No issues with buttons. They work flawlessly.
I don't have your issue above. The side of the case with the buttons is kind of loose, so I emailed the company and never got a response. Then I emailed them back and still didn't get a response. Then about a week or two later I randomly got a brand new case in the mail. They never contacted me, but gave me a brand new case. So I'm happy about it lol. I would suggest contacting them because that should not be happening.
Have your problem in spades.

Whenever I touch the phone, I always seem to brush the power or rocker and either turn it or crank the volume. Time for a little surgery. Love it otherwise.
