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
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.
My Mi5 constantly reboots in pocket. Is there any case (non-wallet style) that makes power button pressing harder, and would solve my problem? With silicone-case or without it power button is way too easy to press, and that's why my phone reboots in the pocket.
I had the same problem after getting a $1 TPU case. My solution? I cut a small slot/hole in the case where the volume and power buttons are, and problem solved. It is not that difficult to cut the holes, as the TPU is soft and the button locations are clearly defined in the moulded case.

I did have that setting on, but it didn't stop the occasional rebooting and volume changing in the pocket. The physical method was the only reliable solution for me.
hmmm i cant change volume if screen is locked, even if I press power button to wake display and then use volume rockers nothing happen so how volume can change in your pocket ?

I don't know for sure as it was in my pocket.
My guess is the power button got pressed so long that the phone rebooted, at which point the volume buttons worked. Indeed I occasionally found my phone in recovery mode when I took it out of my pocket.
I haven't spent too much time investigating further, as cutting holes in the case solved it once and for all.
I just bought a Nillkin Frosted case and a ASLING tempered glass protector for my mi5. the glass is awesome with smooth rounded edges and the case gives good differentiation between the side buttons while they still are recessed so they won't be pressed in your pocket.
The only problem I had was that the case would lift the corners of the glass protector, I solved this by sanding down the inner lip on the case. Working great now, but I have only had this combination for about 2 days.
I got a cheap soft case with the phone that was horrible and the buttons were hard to press.
Using a Ringke Fusion case, never had any accidental button presses in my pocket. It also has built-in dust plugs, which is a good bonus.
I just cut hole for power button and problem is solved. Thanks for tips!
I am using the official flip cover. No button presses. Very pleased with it
Can i post link to aliexpress here? I got a very good hard silicon/plastic back cover from there for my Mi5. It will help a lot with your problem, because it actually harder to press side buttons with it.
Can you put the link please? whats the name of that case? !!!!

I had the same problem, it's because those cheap TPU covers depress the Mi5 buttons halfway then the slightest touch causes a reboot. Now I got a hard case (that's soft to the touch) that's much better and I don't experience any reboots.
It's called MSVII and is available for about $5-8.

I second this, i bought nillkin frosted case since i bought my phone in august and it still look like brand new
I am using a XINKSD brand black hard mate case from ali. It's thin, covers the phone very well, nice to the touch, perfect button presses.
pzoz casing is not too bad either
Best to get any hard case with button cutouts and not a cover over the button. My favourite type of case is Spigen Hybrid style, with hard back and soft edges, but then that would make the buttons too easy to accidentally press and hold. My favourite ones are the Nillkin Super Frosted or MSVII Hard Frosted (sorry can't post links yet)

thank you for your reply.
however, this function is for the screen. it does nothing for the power button.
I cut the rubber on top of the power button on my silicone case and it is harder to press now. Also harder to find, sometimes. I still accidentally press the volume buttons sometimes and end up mute or full volume
Try cocose casing, it's rubber and cover all the edges and buttons and have thick corners.
And until now i don't have any problems with this case

No matter what update I have, the buttons have ghost presses once in a while and they don't press sometimes, mainly in landscape and left hand portrait use. On the latest OTA, I never used it much without the case to test if it's the case or the update.
The case I use is this. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F33LZFH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Vs-OBb9ZVVT38

Interesting how yours is not giving you issues.
I have the same case as well, except its black. I haven't had any issues either.
I hv the spigen rugged armor but it is hard for me to press the volume buttons, i wonder how the ringke feels.

Yeah i have the same case and the same issues like you. Landscape in youtube doesnt work at all for me
I have the Spigen crystal clear and I get ghost presses all the time. Kinda sucks... Buttons worked fine for me out of the box until the software updates started. Now I have ghost presses at least once every other day, sometimes the power button stops responding at all until a soft key is pressed, and sometimes touching the corners or back of the phone gives a ghost press... I've even had a couple of absolutely true ghost presses... Phone on its own not even being touched and I see the screen come alive and the volume move all the way up.
Even without a case, the occasional ghost press happens... Just not as frequently. I'm starting to understand all the early reviews and frustration. For me, it seems like the buttons are actually getting worse with each software update.
I hate it because I love the phone otherwise.
i have tested spigen clear case and mubi clear case for htc u12+
and unamed chinese clear case
the only case whit any issue on the button are mubi clear case for htc u12+
buyed on ebay

I think I figured something out. The phone's buttons react much better when I'm gripping onto the sides just like smart rotate. Would the edge sensors be effecting the buttons?
I have the same problem. Contacted their customer support. They told me that they have never heard about such a issue. I don't think so. I think HTC should declare a recall for that.
Hi.
Same here... But... When you have problem w egdebuttons press software buttons or fingerprints scanner. After this starts everythings back to normal. Rotate makes the way too
Hi all,
So I just noticed that the power button seems to be slightly loose, hanging a little downwards. It is still working fine, but a little wobbly, not like the other two buttons (volume and camera).
Anyone else noticing this?
Thanks,
Abprie
What is age of your phone?
Mine is 6 month old, no issues.
I bought it when it came out. Was that like one year ago? Can't remember...
So, no one else with a similar issue?
I removed the back soft transparent TPU cover which I use from the phone so I could touch and test all three naked buttons for you, and they all behave the same, no one is loose. However, throughout over a one year period of use, all three buttons were protected by the back cover from dust and forcible manipulation. Did you use your phone naked without a cover or not?

Thanks for checking this. The power button feels significantly looser than the volume buttons, so I guess that something is different.
I always used the back cover, otherwise the phone was too slippery for me.
I use the phone for 2 weeks and all the buttons are the same without complaint. I use all the time with a rubber case (back). If your button suffered more in use (but it still worked) you can change the key mapping as I did, because the power button too often accidentally pressed when I took the phone in my hand. I replaced the POWER button with the top ASUSA.
