Been using the case ~2 wks, there's no issue with the fingerprint sensor. They recommend case first, then adding your prints; but not needed! Very minimal design & good protection.
I get that you want to pimp your Youtube channel a bit, but honestly the review was terrible. Bad mic, video out of focus. At the very least, if you cant get the video to focus properly, insert some pictures you took that are sharper instead of seeing a blurry mess.

Thanks for sharing.
how does the surface feel in comparison to the original frame?
I.e. how slick is it. That is my biggest issue with the phone, it wants to slide out of my hands.
I got the Spigen Thin Fit Case, and this was actually worse since the back and sides are all super smooth. Very nice looking, but not functional for me.
Thanks.

I have it. It to me, has a nice "grippy" texture. The FP sensor works for me as well. Case is a nice fit. Well worth the few $. It is however a magnet for FP on the back, if that bothers you.

Don't be butthurt, it's valid criticism - focusing a camera is such a BASIC thing, and we all want to see the case. Instead, make better videos.
Scanner didn't work for me on this case
Thanks for sharing, but next time be sure to review the video before uploading, and also re-record if you have issues like you did in this video. It's horribly out of focus, audio quality is sub-par, and the phone looks nasty. If you really want to grow as a reviewer, be sure to have clear, HD video, good audio, and wash your hands, and clean the phone of any fingerprints / greasy marks before recording. Just some helpful pointers. People watch video reviews to see the case up close, and in action, and when the video is poor, we can't really even see the case.
The video was fine, thanks for posting it. What a bunch of ungrateful oafs in here.
I'm pretty disappointed about the lack of port covers. I've had this case for my last 3 phones and didn't even think to look closely at the product description or reviews before I ordered it. The Ringke has always been one of the few compact cases with covers which are a necessity for me, so I guess i'll be sending it back for something else. It's a great case aside from that omission.
Picked up my V10 yesterday, my Ringke Fusion (smoked) case arrived today. I held off entering any fingerprint scans until after I put the case on, and.............no problems with the scanner. Works 90% of the time on the first try. Don't know if it makes any difference, but I'm on Verizon.

I have the clear Ringke Fusion case. And while the FP sensor works better than with for example, the Incipio case, it is still not as good as "caseless."
The real question is when will LG have a fix. Quite frankly, the situation is ridiculous and is not indicative of the phone's overall quality.

Hi guys,
I usually post on the Galaxy S2 forums but I've since been able to get my hands on a Sensation frequently so I'll be posting videos on cases here as well! Just wanted to show you a quick first looks at the Tough case from Case-Mate, a 2 piece hybrid case which will provide good protection for your device. Full video below:
looks lame to me, honestly, as well as bulkier than it needs to be. Too much dust/lint. That's an obvious problem just from the outset of the video itself.
I use gadget shieldz on the screen and body, and extra measure of protection, I have a TPU cover over the body. doesn't add any bulk and the phone is WELL protected.
Some of us need heavy duty protection due to the environment we are in on a daily basis. This is the kind of case I need. I have the Seidio Active Case and the Trident case. I am awaiting this case to do a three way video comparison. Hopefully mine will arrive in a couple of days. The winner will be my daily use case and the others will be sold off here.

Yeah I like the case a lot too, I'm excited to get the Otterbox Commuter and see how it compares.
Sensation has got a couple of sensors built around the camera etc.
2 around the camera, 1 just beside speaker(?)
2 more close to the USB jack and lastly 1 more close to the back housing catch
My question, after putting case mate, does it effect any of the cam functions
And Especially the reception since the antenna is behind the sensation.

This case has its ups and downs but I overall think its an exceptional case for the price tag.
Pros: Feels premium, looks amazing, feels good in the hand, great design.
Cons: Scared to drop it, weird way to install, doesn't offer protection to back & camera.

I didn't watch the video with sound yet... but it doesn't look like a full aluminum case... just a bumper (ie, the back isn't covered) so there should be no signal loss. He also stated there is "doesn't off(er) protection to back & camera.". So I think its just a bumper.
There are other threads that show that you have no issues w/ wireless unless you use an aluminum back.

Very good review. Couple suggestions... turn off auto-focus on your camera and then pick up a piece of white posterboard stock and a couple of desk lamps at Target or K-Mart. Something along the lines of this. With your existing good narration, your videos will be near pro quality.

Yeah but try using NFC with a full aluminum case. There is a reason Apple makes the top and bottom of the back of the iPhone 5 out of glass. instead of it being edge to edge aluminum on the back. Full aluminum definitely affects reception.

Apple actually puts the bluetooth and wifi radios under the glass pieces on the back panel. So they probably didn't see it as being a good idea to put those under the aluminum as well. An aluminum bumper with a nice glass, polycarbonate back could work well though.
It just has so many flaws, I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure many others will agree with me.
The build quality is just too good. It is so fast, I can't even see any animations. I need lag in my browser, or it just feels fake. The battery life lasts way too long for me to be able to break in the charger that came with it. The back is so smooth, I think I'm going to drop it. People are always wanting to see my phone, because it "looks so cool", that I can never play with it myself.

You could try putting an XtremeGuard on the back. Maintains the metallic look but adds some grip. But of course if you like the feel of the metal then... yeah probably not =\

I agree. I have mine in a Otterbox case, if I remove the case I have trouble holding the phone. I think any coating would hurt the appearance of the phone but there are clear plastic slip-on cases that might not look too bad?
The Otterbox is just plain FUGLY but I need the protection and the grip!

I have a clear gel case on mine and imo it completes the phone. The metal finish is to slick...i'd drop it for sure. With the gel case its 100% easier to grip, its not slippery and doesnt add bulk to the phone. Also with it being clear you can still see the beautiful design of this beast. I cant say a darn thing bad about this phone

There's a few test videos on YouTube, drop tests from 4ft/7ft/10ft, one of the tests was between the M7 and M8 and the other was between the M8, the G S5 and the iPhone 5S, the M8 got the best results in both test, only finally cracking at the 10ft mark in the latter video, not cracking at all in the M7/M8 video. Also another video shows scratch tests with a key, butchers knife, pocket knife and a hammer. Though it was hard to see in the video, the guy recording said there was next-to-no, if not NO scratches on the device, even after hitting it pretty hard with a hammer, though he used the back of the hammer and finally cracked it.
I think it's safe to say this phone is near indestructible, not saying you shouldn't still baby it but you can feel better about an accident that may happen if you drop it or what not, not to mention the 6 month screen crack insurance from HTC Advantage

I had the clear case with the black perimeter which I purchased with the phone at Big Red's store. I'm not sure, but I think the way the case's rubber sides was such that while taking off the case to access the microsd card I may have bent the metal near the volume buttons. That troubled me and forced me to put that case away. Big Red, thankfully, replaced my handset about a week later (I bought mine at 1:15 p.m. on 3/25/14), and I put a crystal clear TPU case on it which lets the Arctic Silver finish shine through.
I'm actually going to get my second replacement today... First had a small nick in the upper left corner, now this one has a strange bump in the center below the bottom speaker, resulting in warped metal. It wasn't there when I got it, but after some use it showed up. I guess be careful about applying pressure to the bottom corners of the device?
I feel like I'm being nitpicky, but idk... These are pretty glaring IMO.
Hopefully thirds a charm.

Beware of clear TPU: it will turn yellow over time... At least matte finish ones will.
I think diztronic makes the best slim and protective TPU cases. I recently got a translucent gray for my gray metal M8 and it's been great so far. Can't see all of the device's beauty, but it is see through.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I had a clear TPU but while minimal, it provided very little protection. I went back to the UAG. Great protection without a major additional bulk of the Otterbox defender.

There's a factory installed "screen protector" on the lens cover,which doesn't interfere with the picture quality.
I'd like to think this will provide a decent amount of protection,although nothing will make it bullet-proof less an Otterbox defender or similar (no THX).
I hope the protective film holds up for a while before peeling back,& I'd guess there'll be protective films available on eBay soon,if not already for sale.
Myself,I'm gonna use a liquid sealer on both the display & camera lens cover,I have just enough left over from when I used it on my Note 7:

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

Xela19115 also mentioned the case here a few days ago. Looks like a tank itself.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.
I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.
Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

They already have some cases with holster and belt clip on Amazon.

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.
Here is another new case on Amazon.

The shortcut leads to the phone rather than a case.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
