Hi
I'm looking for a case that improves the use of the camera button. Because personally I think you need to put way to much pressure on the camera button for it to reach the full click. I usually move the phone because of this and the picture is not sharp. I know Sony adressed this with the Z3C, the buttons on that device are easier to press.
I wish there was a case which has a larger button covering the camera button, so we would need to press less hard.
Most cases I even either have a cutout, which would make it even more difficult to press the button or have a same size button covering it.
Anyone encountered something like this?
Hey!
I personally purchased the Case-Mate Tough Case and I couldn't ask for a better one, it's perfect imo, also it makes the camera button A LOT more pressable (though it does not have a cut-out for the dock, but idc for that)

Not sure if this is normal, but the dedicated camera button gives me nearly no tactile feedback, just like when you pressing hard rubber...
I can't even get to half-press to get the auto-focus, which I enjoyed with other HTC devices ....
Is this normal, or mine has a problem?
Mine is the same way, I think that's just the way it is designed.
Thanks, felt good to hear that,
i miss the feel of shutter button of HTC phone....
I put an Otterbox commuter case on mine, all the buttons feel the same....
I really like the Tab S 10.5, but my main only real gripe (aside from the speakers and bloatware) is that its not easy to hold it in portrait mode. One of the long sides has the volume buttons, which somewhat get in my way when I grip that side, and the other side has the capacitive buttons in the middle
Does anyone use a case that makes it easy to hold it in portrait mode?
Thanks!
I don't know any cases in particular but there are some that have a hand strap along with it, I think that will the best for you since you'll be holding it in portrait mode, the strap will really help you and you can just rest your hand while holding it.

YMMV, but I got a much better grip on it once I put it in a Otterbox Defender.
I think the ridges let me get better leverage.
It's still not perfect, and depending on how I hold it, I still hit some of the buttons, but it's better.
I also use CM11 and use the on-screen buttons and have disabled the capacitive ones, though...
Hello, just thought I'd share my experiences.
I used the roocase origami for one week, before I've swapped over to the poetic turtleskin which I've been using for the last few days now.
The roocase was OK, but not comfortable in portrait mode for a long period of time, but did cover the screen well. Instead I've now gone to the poetic turtleskin and IMO that is much easier to hold in portrait. It's chunky but got a nice grip to it. The only negative is it doesn't cover the screen, so I may have to look into a screen protector.
I got the T805 LTE.
Cheers
I read comics on mine and so I'm constantly holding it in portrait mode. The solution that I found best was to just do the mod that disables the capacitive and home buttons and uses the on-screen buttons. That way, the buttons move to the bottom of the screen in portrait, the tablet doesn't have any extra bulk/weight, and I can still easily dock it in the keyboard. Your mileage may vary, but this worked great for me.
I recently ordered the fyy case from Amazon and am waiting for it to arrive this weekend probably :]
(sorry no link because under 10 posts)
It has a really nice design, so I hope the build quality is already good. I think this might suit your needs.
EDIT: I just got the case, but my first impressions of it aren't that great....
It has a nice, sturdy outside, but the cover moves around a lot and doesn't feel secure. Also, the fitting for the tablet isn't the greatest, but that might just be a defect in mine. Personally, I don't use the tablet in portrait mode a whole lot, so I don't feel like this would be the best case for me. However, if you feel that the ability to rotate the case into portrait mode is more important and outweighs the fact that it feels somewhat flimsy and has an imperfect fit, go for it. Otherwise, you might as well resort to one of those cases with a strap to hold it in portrait mode or another case entirely.
I recently purchased an Element Eclipse phone case and am having problems with it. The TPU Power + Volume buttons are integrated so they do not stick out for easier pressing. Which is a problem because everytime I press either buttons, they don't activate unless it's with more than enough pressure. The main reason I bought the case was for the "SBS" (sound boost system) and am looking for any other possible case that features something similar to it. SBS is Element's way of bringing the sound from the rear speaker, to the front towards you so you can hear it better and have an overall better sound experience. I have yet to come across another case like that and was hoping somebody here knew of one. Thanks.
I don't know about alternatives, but I fixed the button problem on my Element Eclipse with some careful knife slits. One slit in the crevice to the right of the power button, two slits in the top-left and bottom-left corners of the crevice to the left of the volume buttons. Completely unnoticeable visually and significantly easier to press the buttons. I based this off of the built-in slits that are on the Galaxy S5 Element Reacon case.

Funny you mentioned that because I researched hard to press TPU buttons and I too have found suggestions to do that. I made slits along the edges of the Power and Volume buttons and it made a huge difference. Thank you for posting that tip though for others to see. :highfive:
are the button pieces that press the actual phone buttons close enough when the phone is in the case or is there a significant gap?
ive had cases that have needed a little strip glued to the cases buttons inside the case.
ive also had others that needed some material trimmed off of the cases buttons as they were too easy to press as they were too close to the phone buttons. they would get bumped and go off cause they were actually pressing the buttons partially at rest

Hi people,
Got myself a shiny new platinum s6 64gb on o2.
Phone is amazing, and I absolutely love it. But, the home button is a bit wobbly. It's firm on the right side of the button, but dips inward a bit on the left and makes a slight 'clicky sound' like a loose button would.
Is it best I nip this in the bud now, and get a new replacement? Or is it absolutely fine, and just something minor to forget about?
Thanks everyone!
the button on mine is firm and solid. i say get a replacement.
Here's a quick and easy fix for you guys. At the time of writing this, there is no solution, besides replacing the home button or replacing the phone.
The slightest misalignment annoys me. My perfectionist brethrens will share my pain.
After searching hours on solution, and even considering disassembling and replacing the home button, I managed to stop the rattling/clicking.
Steps:
1. Slip the corner of a piece of paper into the gap in the home button where there is movement (or "clicking" sound) to identify the source of imbalance.
2. Cut a small piece of paper. This piece should be extremely small (in the 1-2 mm range) to fix into the gap found in step 1.
3. Using a tweezer, slip this piece into the gap in home button.
4. Repeat as necessary to fill in the gaps.
It's a timely process but works.
Let me know how it works for you gents.
I have the same exact issue in my phone, I do not know if this a normal issue or what?
Hi, does anyone know of a case that improves on the camera button?
I need to be able to launch the camera with thick gloves, which is impossible due to the tiny button. Some case which adds a big fat bubble of some sort that is easy to feel and press with mittens.
I doubt there exists something but I am asking anyway, who knows. Now I am thinking about DIYing something with a cheap case and sugru.
