Moko Ultra Slim Case issue

Well I really liked this case, I've had it for about 2 months. Yesterday one of the two magnet strips in embedded in the plastic that hold the cover close came out of the plastic and stayed on the lid's metal clip. I figured, well I'll just super glue it in and it'll be fine. But this morning I took a really good look at the case and found two hairline cracks in the plastic, one around each of the magnet pockets. I pulled on the pocket without the magnet in it with my fingernail and it broke the plastic. Very brittle! So I'm still going to try and glue it back together but does anyone else see these hairline cracks in their case? I've never dropped my note with/without the case. The only thing I can think that could even contribute to it would be having it in my truck in the center console in the summer. Never exposed to long direct sunlight, certainly nothing that would cause the case to become brittle.

I have had that case since May. It is my favorite case.
I have had no problems with it, and none of the "magnet problems" that some speak of. That may be because the magnets are strong enough for the job but quite weak in some ways.
When using the case as a stand I find the magnet to case actually weak.

I thought the case was great, until I saw the effect it had on the digitizer. With Artflow, whenever I drew near the left edge, the SPen produced severe scribbles. I was not able to draw a single straight line. I'm worried if it would permanently damage my digitizer, as that is the most important part of this tablet. I'm now looking for a stand-case without a magnet.
I'm planning to sell this case for $10 including shipping. If anybody's interested please contact me.

One of THESE slim folio cases. I removed the magnet easily, and as it's hidden under the hand strap, you can't even tell.

My magnets came out too, both of them. I glued them back in, although I figured out that you need to let them sit up a bit so the cover stays closed I see the start of cracks where the magnets are, but no real cracks.
My magnets are fine, no screen issues to note.

Are the magnets really doing damage??? They have been using magnets in case for years...
I think that the magnet damage is a myth.

Yeah, I've used them for years without issue as well...the magnets do interfere with s-pen usage, not sure of long term effects to the screen (ie dead spots)tho.

Roocase glacier tough

So Ive been trying to decide on a new case for a while since I'm moving away from the otterbox defender that I usually buy for my phones. I came across this one. And it just came in this morning.
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=171778123626&alt=web
I don't like really thin cases that aren't good for anything more than scratch proofing.
That being said this case isn't exactly thin, nor is it as bulky as an OB defender. I wanted a case that would protect my phone from falls, and decided this would be worth a try (especially since I got it for 9$+shipping). I wasn't disappointed, the very first thing I did was clean my phone, put it in the case, and drop tested it from 6 feet, into a faceplant and it survived without a scratch.it's got good protection on the corner, and the case looks very nice with the acrylic back that lets you see the phone through it.
I definitely trust this case to protect my M9 from normal, everyday usage and drops. That being said I would not be willing to test throwing my phone across a room like I would with an OBD, since this case has no shock proofing on the back due to the transparent acrylic.
The built in screen protector works great as well. I already had a Zagg scratch proof protector on (not the tempered glass, or the thick HD one and left it on) and I haven't lost any responsiveness to my screen. The built in protector does add a slightly annoying glare though.
Definitely a good case, and like all cases has its share of cons, but for the price, I 100% recommend it. Even if you only find it for the 20$ its usually advertised for.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that the cover for the charging port is somewhat hard to open, and hard to keep open. It will probably wear over time and become easier, but as of right now it is a slight hassle.
Edit2: After using the case for a few weeks, the charging port is no longer an issue. I've gotten rid of my Zagg screen protector, and removed the built in protector from the case. Instead using the Spartan tempered glass screen protector.

Thank you for your review. It's nice to know that this case can withstand a drop from a few feet. I know that I get nervous with it falling-- I mean, these phones are not just expensive, but they are our "friends" that we take with us everywhere we go. That is pretty sad, huh?

If I could figure out how to get my phone out of this cinder block I'd have it out already. This is essentially an iPhone-shaped case for a not-iPhone. The curvature at the back of the phone is lost (though it does trap dirt between the clear platen and the back of the phone). The cover on the charging port, which is mostly pointless because there are lots of open ports on the case, makes it difficult to connect to my car holder. The plastic isn't a consistent colour between the front and the sides. It was a bastard to get the phone in, and now it's a bastard to get the phone out.
The screen cover is great, and there's every indication that the shock protection is good. The big square plastic buttons are easy to press.
Compared with either Otterbox (which is what I've had on my past HTC phones) this isn't as good.

The case is easiest to take off if you peel the rubber back from the corner right above the buttons.
Based on the fact that its 1/5 the price of the otterbox, for roughly 3/4 of the protection level it offers, I would still recommend this case as a cheaper alternative.

chaosrde is right on the money. Using the spudger or guitar pick makes the job that much easier. I received a Glacier Touch case from Roocase for review purposes and ran into this. While the case is tough to take off, it does mean that phone is secure. It's a nice case that allows you to show off the nice metal casing of your phone. I dropped it a few times and neither the case nor phone showed any sign of damage, though due to it being clear and glossy the case does show scratches a lot easier. The case seems a bit bulky even with my large hands, but I think this is due to the box-iness of the case. It's more of a personal gripe than something wrong with the case. The built-in screen protector is nice, but does feel cheap (as most built-in screen protectors do) so if you pop it off and use a glass screen protector I don't blame you.
The only issue I had with it is what Damosel mentioned: Dust and dirt seem to get into the case a bit too easily and ends up collecting on the back side of the case. This is due to the case not being fitted to the back of the phone. This can lead to the metal back getting scratched which is something that bothers me. If there was an insert you could put inside the case that fit snugly behind the back I think it would be a nice improvement.
I agree with chaosrde that for the price point and the protection it offers, the Roocase Glacier Tough case is a nice alternative to the Otterbox Defender.

S6 edge's metal frame easily gets scrached

i own a s6e 64gb..i was using a hard cell cover.yesterday i put metal bumper case and after using it for sometime when i check it got little scracted over volume down key and right side of the frame..

Don't get me wrong but:
Well the s6 frame is metal if the bumper case is also metal so what do you expect?
Following the physical laws every little motion between them scratches them as both are hard enough to penetrate the other...
I would stay away from metal bumpers unless they have a soft inner coating :good:

I have the same issue you need a case where it has a lip that covers the entire edge of the phone so no little bits of muck can get between the case and the phone causing scratches. It seems to scratch way more easy then any other phone I have owned. I'm trying out a new case now to see if it stops doing it and I have ordered a new metal frame so will probably get the metal frame replaced at some point as it is really annoying me

Edge 6 Plus scratches on screen with clear view case

Hi all
got the edge plus with the clear view case now i have exactly the same issue with the smaller edge with little dots and a scratch on the screen.
contacted Samsung and they say their is nothing official for the Edge Plus so the chances are they will not replace the screen free of charge.
is anyone out their in the same boat as me, is their any official notification from Samsung covering the Edge Plus
Thanks

Same sh*t for me, my brother has the S6 edge and had this problem, and I bought the clear view cover for my edge+ thinking it was fixed, after 3 days, noticed few scratches when I was on sunlight, 2 weeks with the phone and already pissed out 'cause of stupid things like these...
Sent from my SM-G928F using XDA Free mobile app

I got this case but after reading about the issues with the S6 I only used it after installing a screen protector. I then noticed small pinpricks in the protector after using the case and I could even see the indentation of a circle where the magnet touches the screen. Fortunately most of the marks disappeared from the protector after a few days but it appears that they have not resolved this in the design. I also found that the back of the case itself scratches too easily - it is already showing several scratches even though I have been very careful in handling it. I am surprised they sell it as an official case given the known problems.

The clear view case is definitely one to stay away from. Although it added to the beauty of the phone, it just was not practical, offered no screen interaction when closed and over time I would imagine it would wear out quite quickly. Returned mine after 2 days (before any scratches set in) and opted for the official SView cover which gave me back the functionality that I was used to. Having had the original SView cover on my Note3, after 2 years of hard use it really protected my phone well. The case is in gold and looks better than I expected. Fingers crossed this new SView cover for my edge+ will hold up the same.

i have the clear view case for almost 2 weeks now and not a single scratch or dent visible; maybe you guys had some dust or smth in your pockets that went inbetween the case and the screen?

I had for few days the phone didn't scratch but the cover is completely scratched and it's just awful now ?

I've had my gold clearview case for a week and it's looking a little bit scratchy but nothing too serious.
I just wonder where people's expectations lie in these cases. Of course we don't expect to see scratches on the screen when there's a protective case over it but the case couldn't have caused the scratches. Previous S-View and flap cases were quite soft and spongy, these ones are tough so grit could easily get pressed against the glass. If anything, Samsung should provide a screen cover with the case. I use a plastic screen cover anyway because I find the bare glass too slippery at times.
As for scratches on the case itself, well that's what it's for! It takes the hit so your phone doesn't, and with a mirror finish you'll see some wear and tear. If you wanted a case that maintains its original appearance then don't pick mirror finish, clear hard shell or light colours - grab a dark silicone thing to wrap around your phone and it will look the same in 2 years as it did the day you bought it. Next we'll be seeing case protector films to keep the case from degrading!

Mate,
I am a very careful user 1.5 years with M8 without any case and it still looks brand new. But a "Official Samsung case" I expect it to be a bit more durable and not prone to so much scratches and this case ain't cheap either. Now Clear case by Spigen no no scratches on the case or phone. I'm happy with the performance. I chose Clear view case from Samsung so I can take advantage of it's features.

I've bought the clear view case for my black S6E+ and I can confirm that it does indeed scratch the screen.
The first scratches appeared after something like 3 days of usage, so I've placed spigen ultra crystal to protect screen from further damage and to mask the spots.
I thought that maybe the reason was that I've carried the phone in the case in my pocket one day. But to my rage I've noticed that the case have damged the screen protector within 2-4 hours after applying it and this time there was no pocket to blame, I was home with my little girl sick so I've only moved the phone from one room to another always carrying it in the hand.
I've contaced Samsung Poland by their facebook account and they advised to report the problem to authorised service center in order to assess the damage, but I've let it go - I dont think they have much experience with replacing the screen in this particular device and I was afraid that the final effect may be in fact even worse.
So I replaced the Spigen with another one (~20$ went straight to the bin) and I stay away from the clear view case. At the beginning I was using S-View Cover (highly recommended) but I settled now with Rock TPU (way slimmer and better than Nillkin Nature or Spigen Liquid).
I've compared clear view cases for S6 and S6E+ and it is obviuos that they tried to improve the design by adding a kind of "lip" along the internal edge of the flap so I doesnt rest at the whole screen all the time. This means that the scratches will now be placed (as it was in my case) along the edges of the screen thus giving additional meaning to "S6 Edge"
It does have oleophobic coating and yes it seems to be able to heal minor scratches so thats a plus, but it really doesnt matter as long as the case meant to PROTECT the screen actually DAMAGES it.

Thanks for that. Im glad i went for the S-view instead, i had it on my Note 4 previously without a single scratch.

In UK Samsung acknowledged that clear view case causes scratches on s6 edge and they are replacing screens (only once) plus adding screen protector, wondering if its the same for s6edge+. Worth asking samsung helpline

Mine did it after just a few days. I hate flip covers anyway. But I can't un-scratch the screen.
Ugh...

Chiffon Method to avoid scratches
Chiffon method to avoid scratches
Here is something that came to my mind using Chiffon fabric to put inside the cover to protect the screen, if the screen is still prone to scratches after this, means that the screen is pure crap.
If you don't want to use the Chiffon one, pay attention not to use one made from plastic.
Material:
- A cut of Chiffon fabric, in Mexico costs 1 dolar per meter.
- Transaparent glue, the one used in school that is water washable, in case of error, it can be safely removed
PROCEDURE: (Very complex)
- Glue the fabric into the inside of the cover as you will see in the picture
That's it, is possible to use any mostly transparent fabric in cotton or polyester that is like Chiffon or better, I found this one here.
NOTE: The pictures are very bad quality, looking at the phone is mostly the same using the fabric compared to not using it.
NOTE 2: Inside the cover is mostly the same in black, the bad lighting where I shoot it creates that gray halos, is pure black and if you are a purist you can do it much better than me.
NOTE 3: "CON" mean WITH and "SIN" means Whithout

No offence but it looks really terrible...

Video Review: Ringke Fusion Case for Google Pixel XL

Direct link: https://youtu.be/HhxKC9InIk4
This is my unboxing and review of the Ringke Fusion for the Pixel XL. Some comparisons between it and the Spigen Slim Armor also.
The video is a tad long but here are some key points.
Pros:
-It offers a slim design that fits right in between the super thin shells and most cases.
-Clear polycarbonate back lets you see the phone, a key feature of the product
-Buttons are very 'clicky'. You can clearly hear them being pressed.
-The case is also just thick enough to make me feel confident that a drop will not cause any major damage.
-Light weight. I notice a significant weight difference between the Ringke and Spigen
Cons:
-Bezel is not pure black
-Bezel is not offered in the soft touch TPU that is had in previous years
-Feels a tad 'rubbery'

I had one of these cases for my N5X and loved it. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on one for my Pixel XL but I'm concerned about the added bulk. I'm currently running the Google branded grey polycarb/silicone case and while the size is nice the silicone is too sticky. Inserting it and removing it from my jeans pockets is a pain in the ass as it gets stuck to the pocket material. This also results in a fair amount of lint stuck to the case.
Are you able to comment on the amount of added bulk, specifically, the sides of the phone? This phone is just about at the limit of what I can use one handed.

Well, the RIngke Fusion is slimmer than the Spigen Slim armor. And is thinner than the ones make for the N4 and N5. Not sure about the N5X. And this one hasn't gotten stuck in my pocket yet, slides in and out easily. Hope that helps a bit.

Picked it up and installed it today. Perfect. Slim, slides right out of my pocket and really shows off the back of my phone. Ringke might be my goto case manufacturer for now on.

Thinking of picking one up. How is the case holding so far? Any discolouration? Is there "oily" parts on the upper half of the rear of the phone?

No oily parts, no discoloration, no scratches or scuffs and I've dropped it several times already. The clear back will pick up some finger prints if you're chowing down on some french fries or something but nothing crazy and they wipe right off. I had this case on my last phone for about a year and they hold up great.

How big is the lip around the front? If I was planning on using a tempered glass screen protector with this case, would the TGSP touch the ground when I lay the phone face down?

The front lip nearly lays flush with my Zagg screen protector on the left and right side of the phone. However, along the top and bottom, the lip sticks out a bit further, maybe 2-3mm. This way, if you put your phone face down on a flat surface, like a table or desk, the glass won't make contact with it.
