Hi I purchased a poetic case for the k1 tablet and have found I can't get the power button to worknwith the case on. Has anyone else had this problem? I love the case but its pretty pointless if I have to take it off to press the power button.
Regards

Normally in the front closing flap there must be a magnet in place that activates the tablet by opening the case and switches it off by closing the flap.
When there is no magnet in the flap you have to press the power button each time you want to switch on or off.
I'm guessing you are talking about the hard case? I liked having that style of case for protection but the buttons were awful. I was able to use it but the buttons required some pressure and didn't give you much feedback through the case. I'm using their silicone case which is pretty easy to use the buttons on. Not many case options for the ST/K1 if you don't want a cheap one with a flap.

Hey guys,
so i had a chance to review this case. I am a big fan of incipio and specially the feather for other devices..but this one fails in every simple aspect...wrong measurements? who knows.however the protection given is awful.. I rather choose the body glove or skullcandy
Here is the video for u

I got to say this review is exactly my experience and opinion of the incipio feather case for the One S. I had my One S in it for 1 week when the thin bar of the case above the volume rocker button cracked in half without reason. After it cracked, I noticed the case did not fit the phone as well as I thought it did and there was actually a little flex room when pressure was applied to various area of the case. The thin plastic bar above the volume rocker is the weakest part of the case when it flexs so I think that is why it cracked in half right there. Maybe I just got a defective one. Only thing I might add to this review is that the case does not have a notch cutout for the power button and it can be hard to turn the phone off/on at times. Hopefully incipio revises this case because it really looks nice on this phone.
I just got my verus iron shield and love the case but the volume buttons are very stiff and volume up almost doesn't work. Is there some kind of way I can mod the case?

I noticed that right away with mine but... some cases are annoying with the ease of button presses. I have the Verus Thor and the power button requires intent to activate; no accidental engaging. The volume buttons are easier to press and sometimes actually do engage without intent when handling the phone in landscape mode. I think it is a feature. I wouldn't mind if my volume buttons were harder to press. Not sure if it gets easier going forward with use but I hope mine doesn't get easier. It's not often that I adjust the volume. It's more of a set and forget unless I accidentally bump it. The buttons are easy to see and feel; IMO, increases the value of this case.
So far the Thor is my best case; just wish the case had more grip when my hands are dry and the phone is cold. This time of year, both are impacting grip but it improves holding the phone. The hardness at the bottom where I tend to rest the phone's weight becomes uncomfortable and I frequently shift the phone so it doesn't get uncomfortable. I get compliments on the case's appearance. It's a keeper for sure but when I find a softer case, I'll use this one primarily for away from home for its appearance and added protection. I prefer a soft slipper for home. I've got the Samsung case+ on back order, I think that's what it's called.

Yeah the buttons are pretty hard to push... if you take the metal bumper off you'll see the reason they're so hard to push is that there is no cut out for the power switch/volume rocker in the TPU part of the case. So the pushing has to go through the TPU to get to the actual buttons on the phone (whereas the Neo Hybrid has the cut outs and are much easier to push). I guess you could make cut outs in the TPU if you had the skills/tools.
Got this case from a local online seller (PH) but I also found the link at Amazon. I basically got this case for its looks.
Where can I buy that case?
- Here's the link : http://www.amazon.com/CellJoy-Samsung-Protection-Kickstand-Shock-proof/dp/B00QXIMLVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1421044113&sr=8-1&keywords=future+case+note+4
Does it scratch the chamfered edges?
- It will not scratch the chamfered edges. This is a two-piece case, the soft inner rubber and the back hard cover. The inner rubber is too soft and feels kinda cheap for me and it is a lot softer than a generic TPU case. The back cover looks nice and its not a fingerprint magnet.
Does it offer drop protection?
- I cannot answer this one as I haven't dropped my phone on this case. But I think it will offer a drop protection just like a normal TPU case, if not slightly better.
Will it fit to a Verizon model?
- Yes, the cutout for the mic on the left side is bigger than the other one.
How are the cutouts?
- The cutouts are aligned perfectly but its also pretty small.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
amazon description shows it coming with a belt clip holster. HAve you used that? I'm still figuring out where to carry my Note4
Yep. It does come with a belt clip holster, however you can only put your phone in it while the screen is facing the inside of the holster.
OK I do have another question...
How is the feel of the button press? Like when you use the on/off button or the volume buttons. I have an Otterbox comuter and I found the button presses felt like they had too much resistance. I'm using a Samsung case now and find the button press feel to be almost like when the phone is naked.
Where did you buy this in PH?

Do you find that taking the phone in and out of your packet is troublesome due to the exposed TPU on the sides of the phone? My note 3 did this with a similar case.

Yep, its annoying to put it in and out of my pocket so I just put it in my bag.

Pressing the buttons on this case is super easy, its also just like pressing it without a case.

I love the textured power button on my new phone and would love a case that had the same. Anybody run into one?
I am not a fan of the cases without buttons as the buttons then feel to deep to hit easily. Anybody got a case slim enough that you can hit the buttons easily?
I cut out my Moko case to expose the textured power button.
Hey guys last time I did a first impressions review so here's my full in depth review as promised. I did get this case for free by Poetic so that I could provide an honest review. Huge thanks to Poetic and @TalonFangs for this opportunity. I'll be doing the review based off a review up to 5 stars covering these: aesthetics,build quality/feel of case,coloring, durability, cutouts, and whatever else that comes to me lol.
Alrighty so first I'll talk about the aesthetics. I got to hand it to Poetic. The new revised version of the case looks awesome. The black borders match perfectly with the graphite body of the 6P. The revised version no longer has the "p" in the middle of the case nor the "affinity" written on the right side of the case. Everything looks simplistic now and showcases the gorgeous finish of the Nexus. It looks really clean. I definitely recommended this case for anyone who wants a clear case that showcases the phone.
The build quality of the case is great. The phone fits snugly into the case. The device doesn't move around and the case isn't so tight that its choking the phone. Its just right. The bumper lines on the case and the ridges on the sides help a lot with holding the phone. The 6P is a pretty big and very slippery phone, this case adds a lot of grip to the phone which I love. The case is very sturdy, not just some thin piece of plastic that just protects the back of the phone from scratches. Its a very durable case that adds lots of protection to the phone. I was sceptical at first when I got the case but after using it for a while I truly appreciate the added durability. Before I started using this case I was extremely nervous and cautious every time I lay the phone down because of the black glass visor on the back and then the glass screen on the front. The case covers the visor with an added bumper line and there is a slight bumper line around the front of the case so that of you place the phone screen side down then the screen is ever so slightly risen over the surface that you layed it down on. I've dropped the phone so many times (maybe 4-5ft high up,indoors,hardwood,tiles) and there has not been any damage thanks to the case. There are bumps on the 4 sides of the case that help a huge deal if the device falls. And the slight rise on the sides front make sure that that screen never touches the surface. This case has great build quality that provides solid protection yet its still lightweight. The case barely adds any bulk to the phone. Props to Poetic for that. Another huge props to Poetic. It looks as though they have fixed the yellowing issue. In the original case, the case started to yellow significantly after a few weeks. Now in the revised version it has not yellowed at all after intense daily use for a few weeks.*So far, after all this intense use, there are barely any noticeable scratches on the case. (Original case was full of scratches after a few weeks)
The cutouts are excellent. They are percise. There is a cutcut for the camera, Imprint (fingerptint sensor), proximity sensors, volume rockers, power/sleep button, and of course the type C usb file transfer/charging port. I am able to plug the cable in and out with ease. My finger is always resting on Imprint and this case doesn't hinder the scanner in anyway. Every single cutout is perfect. Huge props to Poetic for this.*
One feature I do wish was on the case is some way to distinguish between the volume rockers and power key. Without a case the power button has a rough, ridged texture too it that helps us to differentiate it from the smooth volume keys. On the case though both the volume rockers and power key is smooth. I've pressed power by accident so many times, especially at night. It would be great that Poetic adds this feature to the case. Its not a huge deal for me personally since I use MX and VLC Player to stream media. Both apps have on screen gestures to control volume. But it does get in the way when I'm watching downloaded videos on YouTube (Youtube Red) or any other app which doesn't have on screen gestures.
One issue that I've noticed is that the power button on the case is very tight. It takes more pressure now to press the power button. Another major issue is that the volume buttons on the case have damaged the volume rockers on the device. The volume up button is now bent in where the case was constantly pressing down.
Overall this is one solid case. Definetly gets points for durability, build quality, cutouts,etc. The only thing I really don't like about the case is the issue with the power & volume rockers. I barely put a lot of pressure on the volume rockers so I'm not sure what about the case caused the damage. What noticed on a daily basis was the awesome grip added to the phone. It made it a lot easier to hold the phone and the case has come through for me every time that I've drooped it so far. Obviously this isn't a Otterbox replacement or anything. I haven't dropped it outside on concrete/pavement yet and I'm not about to do so now. This case isn't for hard core durability. Instead its a nice lightweight case that offers enough protection for your average every day causal use like scratches, accidental drops (nothing crazy), grip,etc.
I give this case 4 stars out of a possible 5. I definitely recommended this case for anyone who wants solid protection for your 6P without sacrificing size,weight,etc. And to top it all you are getting a great case for a very low price. Hopefully I'm able to get my point across to all of you guys. I'm not a pro reviewer or anything. I'm just a guy who's giving an honest review for a product that I have been using as my daily driver since it arrived in the mail. I just want you guys to get an idea of what to expect after purchasing this case and some suggestions for Poetic for future products. I'm very clumsy and rough with my phone. The fact that this case did so good is great. I will be trying out other cases (possibly Poetic Revolution, i-Blason, Spigen, etc) until I find the ultimate hardcore protection for the 6P. This is a great case but I'm more of a heavy duty protection kind of guy (even if it does make the phone bulky lol). I got to admit though. I've been using heavy duty cases for ages now and it's been a releif to use such a lightweight case that offers such protection and grip. Huge props to Poetic for this awesome case and @TalonFangs for this opportunity to test out and review this case for all of you. Thanks. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions that you have about the case. ?
