Ringke Fusion - Crystal View case still loose? - ONE Accessories

Was about to order this from Amazon when I noticed on Youtube the compaints about loose side fitting with the Crystal View version.
The company said they were on it but I can't find any mention of a fix.
Can anyone who has bought this case recently confirm if the bad fitting issue has been resolved?
Here is what it looks like in the video - discussed from about 6 minutes in until the end.

No issues here at all.

I have this case. I have absolutely NO issues with any type of looseness on the case anywhere on the device. I'm wondering if this is an anomaly? I've had this case for about a month (bought it even before the device showed up). Put it on, haven't had any issues.
Did the OP who posted the video get a replacement from Ringke?

Yes, it was 3 or 4 months ago now. May have just been a small batch affected. One month ago the company said they had sorted the problem - just wanted to check with someone who has actually oredered one recently.
Many thanks - I'll get my order off now :good:

Clear has been fixed. Out of the four, two is clear, one is loose, one is tight. Tight was bought a month ago.

In case you were still wondering, I unboxed and reviewed the case here: http://youtu.be/kVWEVmPL6e0

I decided in the end to go with the smoked black version - not because I was worried about the bad fit issue not being fixed but because consensus seemed to be that it looked better on the black sandstone 64GB.
I am totally delighted with the case. It of course adds a bit of bulk around the edge (reassuring imo) but I especially love how they have managed to get the button covers to be 100% responsive with the lightest of touches - they even make a firm "click" .
TIP @itsdacj: for some reason it's much easier to remove by pushing the top part off first.

Hi. Would like to ask whats the Difference between Ringke Fusion Crystal vs the Crystal View version... thank you.

I got this one in 2015 and it's still on there, working great. Saved me from several bad drops. I have replaced the tempered glass once. Same case. Gone from amazon. http://a.co/444bet4

I too have this case, easily the best i have ever used. Going on two years now, and the case bumper has become seperate from the plastic back, but otherwise, its still fab.
Issues i had with it include the fact that it makes the phone a LOT bulkier, it more than doubles the thickness of the phone. Also, its impossible to use most USB OTG flash drives with it thanks to the excessively recessed port (no issues with headfones though). But thats what you pay for protection.

I actualy bought that for my desire hd, and wish i had not, they are not that good you can see inperfections, that when you look at them apear like a crack.
Im prety sure this is becuase they are so cheap and sold via fleabay, if you was to find/purchase one elsewhere a more well known make then im prety sure you would not see these. but that is my opion of those.
yeah i rather buy a clear TPU gel case, actually i bought and recieved 2 from dealextreme.
the hard cases always break and pretty quick too
That case I gave a link to, I have. I can say its one of the best cases ever! No cracks or breaks and it protects the phone almost 100%! Its two pieces that dont actually attach to the phone at all, the two halves of the case snap together securly.
This type of plastic case however:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-CRYSTAL-CLE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3cb3fdd80c
Is absolute bollox! It does attach itself to the phone and cracks within about 3 days...PANTS!
I bough this case in the end, its got a hard part on the back:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=380332737615&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Im just gonna wait till they release a clear hard case that I think will be up to the job

Cruzerlite cases...any feedback?

Does anyone has any feedback on this case?

I have a SGP case but it is white so I want to go with a black case and like the android design on those but want to make sure they dont have any flaws.
Thanks
Headphone jack seems to be not lined up on most of them
my review of it
Hi, yep I've got this case, its actually not that bad.
the best thing is that it is very comfortable to hold.
the grip on it is good. its cut outs are good, headphone jack cut out is good, but I would prefer if it was a bit bigger.
all other cut outs are perfect apart from the speaker ones which covers only a very small amount of the top of the speaker, but is not a problem.
here are a few pics.
sorry for the poor quality of pics, I was using my v. old nokia 5800.
Thanks.
I am going to be getting one and posting a review and video review for it.

I have the Androidified Case and love it! It's super comfy (like the guy above me said) and it's just made to be easy to use. My only complaint is that the standard usb cable has a difficult time getting to the port due to the design of the case. Simple fix by pulling the piece up, but I don't like putting pressure on the port.

ah that could be an issue indeed. Can't wait to test it. I only got my white case which I hate due to the apple look
i had the same problem regarding the usb, at first i had to force it in due to the way the cut out is, but after two days it seemed that the case just changed its shape and adjusted to allow the usb to fit in without forcing it. which for me I now have no problem with it.
Thanks for the feedback. I will keep it in mind while testing.

Just received two of the cases today but waiting for the third one that has the fancy designs to do it.
So far , I love the looks of the black one with the Android design on the back and inside.
Not too sure about the big area left open for the camera and flash but I will comment about all that when I post it.
Did you receive the last case ? i'm very intrested in it.
You think it still will fit in the pocket of your jeans now it is not so slippery anymore ?

Actually just got the shipping notification so I expect it here in time for a Friday review at least.
Yes it does fit fine and I like that it has extra grip on the sides of the case. That feels better than my previous one which is more slippery.
I will make sure to take enough pictures but so far I like it. I guess the wait is not bad that way I can do a review after a week of using the case to give a better perspective as opposed to a right our of the bag review.
I put my Note in a sock, it fits well, 10$ on ebay and looks not bad.
If i use this Cruzerlite, will i be able to put it in a sock again (maybe a bigger one ?)
Or dont you guys use a sock ? what do you use then ?

Spigen Neo Hybrid Lumi Review

I got my neo hybrid lumi case in the mail today ( I go the blue and grey) and wanted to do a quick review.
First off all let me say, that so far I haven't had any of the problems with the buttons some people have been talking about. The volume rocker is a bit sensitive, but I haven't had any problem with it changing on it's own. Also simply holding firm on the sides won't push my buttons either, I squeezed all around the edges and didn't have any problems.
This case looks awesome it is very sleek and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. The holes for ports are all cut smoothly and adequately. The port on the camera is the very slightest bit uneven but nothing anyone would probably notice unless they were really looking and definitely not anything that will effect the use of the camera or protection.
The TPU portion of this case is slightly different than I was expecting. It is a bit harder and less flexible than I expected. My biggest problem with the case is that the TPU is very slick. It offers very little if nothing at all in the way of grip.
As far as protection goes, I haven't dropped my case or done anything extreme, but the case seems to offer very decent protection especially considering how sleek it is. The back and corners are well protected and feel pretty confident that if I did drop it I wouldn't have any scratches or major damage on my phone. There is a nice lip around the front screen to give a buffer if it were to be set down on it's face. The case fits snug and I don' think would fall off if dropped.
Overall I am very happy with this case, I was hoping for a bit more grip, but I really can't complain considering how good it looks and the protection I'm getting
I had one of these for my iPhone 4 and the plastic shell snapped when I was taking it off.
How dangerous/sturdy is it on the GS3 version?

It is fairly rigid, but I have taken mine on and off a couple times and no problems so far. I have been leaving the hard plastic attached to the tpu part which doesn't require it to bend much though

Awesome. Went on perfect. The slightest bit of tack compared to glass. Barely visible at all
My screen protector doesn't fit in the least. It covers part of the front facing camera and yet there is ample space at the right of the home button. If you can imagine that, you'll understand just how off mine is. It goes on well but my cut outs are quite off.
I also have the button issues. I just got mine today. Throwing an email to them tonight.

I got this case a few days ago and immediatley noticed the volume button sensitivity issue as soon as I installed it. The issue I experianced is that any time I put any pressure anywhere near the volume rocker, it would depress the button and raise/lower the volume. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but no matter what I did the issue remained. Emailed SPG and they requested photos and or video of the problem. They also wanted to know which S3 varinat I had. Hopefully I just got a bad one because I think it is a nice case otherwise.

Yup that's exactly what happened to me. I was the one who 1st posted the issue and now after a couple of days I got use to the sesnsativity of the buttons and where not to squeeze but I will be contacting them I think that's way to much for me to let slide for such a high quality case. I still slip at times and it's just annoying have to hit the back button every time you press the power button for to long and getting the shut off option when you are in the middle of something.
why dont you guys remove the case and push outward on the inside of the volume rocked portion to stretch it out a little bit.
use something small to get right in there
yeah i have the same color!! I thought I broke the case cuz it got dissembled. Have no problem with it so far.

I've had mine for about two weeks now and haven't had too many issues with the volume sensitivity. Occasionally it happens after I've taken the case off and put it back on but then I just adjust the case and it doesn't happen anymore. I can squeeze both sides near the rocker and power button and they will not activate and when changing the volume the controls don't stick.
I did think the case was going to be a little thicker than it is and I doubt the plastic frame adds much more protection. This is one reason I'm debating buying another case with a little more protection (commuter/aegis/active type case).
I do like the looks of the case, which is one of the reasons I bought one instead of sticking with the Diztronic cases I have which are also pretty good.
So I received this case today (I live in Australia, postage takes forever). I have issues with the sensitivity of the buttons as they often stick. I've emailed Spigen about what they will do but I'll probably just take a razor or something to the inside buttons and wear them down a little.
On a positive note though, the packaging is amazing and the case feels like it is sturdier than my cheap tpu case from Ebay. It also looks great.

Don't buy the Double Dip Flip!!!

Hi
I just thought i would share my experience after a month with the official DDF case, a case that is lacking in both design and durability. I got the case free of charge when i took out my contract with Vodafone and put it straight on the phone as soon as soon as it left the box and that's where the 1st issue came up, the case didn't actually close! Laying it on a flat surface just resulted in the the front of it springing open as there is nothing to keep it closed however after a few days it was worn in a bit and sorted itself out. Also for £25 the quality isn't that great.
After a week i took the phone out the case and to my horror it was badly scratched on the back due to tiny bits of grit getting caught in there and this is purely down to the design as there are 2 slits on the back which allows it to go into a stand but they let small pocket stuff in and if they are solid in any way they will get pressed between the case and the phone resulting in scratched aluminium. Luckily i got a replacement phone due to another issue.
I have had it on my new black One for a couple of weeks now whilst i get round to getting a new one however i have been cleaning it out daily to ensure it doesn't happen again however the case has just started falling apart. The rubber trim around the case has all peeled off and the matte finish is peeling off too, leaving a shiny plastic underneath and the red suede interior is now a dull black on some parts.
This is the worst case i have ever had for a phone and this is only with 4/5 weeks worht of use. I would strongly suggest people spend there money on a different case.

They look good, hadn't seen them before and reasonably priced too. However, I've already gone for the Otterbox Commuter which is cheaper than this POS HTC case
I have pretty much the same problem. I love the case, I love the look of it, but it's coming undone around the edges...
Same situation here with mine.
Red felt is going black, the rubber edge has all come off and stuff keeps getting caught on the back. luckily it hasnt scratched my baby but it is annoying.
Any suggestions for a replacement case that does the same as this? I love how it folds into a stand
I have had this problem with almost every case I have ever had. That is why i put a full bad shield invisible shield on my phone and then put them in the case.
I also received the case free with my contract phone so i decided to use it until i bought a case that i liked. I used it for 4-5 weeks and the case still looks quite new. Obviously the red felt has faded a bit but that was expected. The only real problem i saw was that the Microphone hole didnt line up properly with the phone's Mic hole which is a bit stupid.

I bought this before reading reviews.
I agree that durability is poor,and have had peeling. Luckily not had scratches.
With regard to last point about Mic hole there's an updated version that fixes this.
I got updated replacement sent free, without requesting, from HTC accessories UK.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Had this case since 2 weeks ago, first problem was that the hole at the bottom was not aligned to the microphone hole properly (which greatly affected call quality) so I had to manually align it. The back leaves two light grey streaks on the back of my black HO from where the slits are, but with a good wiping they disappear. The red felt is starting to fade as well. Planning to replace it when the fixed version of the Poetic Atmosphere comes back in stock at the end of the month.
Thanks for heads jo mate. Will not buy

ericshmerick linked the right one. Also, the other case HTC makes for the ONE should tell you everything you need to know since HTC only makes TWO cases for this phone, thus if you've used the power of deductive reasoning it would've taken you to http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-double-dip/ which is a great case. Looks much better on the phone itself too.
You're welcome.
Eric, thanks for the link. AeroSatan, my powers of deductive reasoning tell me you're an ass. How'd I do?

Simple and keeps the look of the phone too and the colour.
My DDF has scratched the top of my aluminium due to debris from either my pocket or something else getting in, marks aren't very big but they're ugly and I can see them.
Really p*ssed me off, and seeing as the DDF should cost £30 in a phone shop i think it's a joke.
As for the other DD case, man it is ugleeeeeey, it looks like a sad one eyed cartoon. Feels cheap and nasty.
FYI I have both the DD cases.

RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Case worth it?

I've heard about the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Cases. Apparently, they can withstand 11ft drops on concrete. Has anyone had any experience with them in the past? Do they hold up? I am deathly afraid of cracking my S8 Plus but also find the idea of covering up my GORGEOUS phone with a case to be stupid. Thoughts?

Mine just shipped today, hopefully it'll arrive by the weekend.
My 2¢
I like idea of a bumper frame, paired up with a clear or matte body skin on the backside.
Can I attest to the extremes of the protection, not even gonna try, but , from previous use on other devices, it should do the job as advertised.
They add a bit more width to the grip of the phone than one might imagine, but, I don't think that will be an issue with this phone, it has a relatively narrow grip as-is.
I'll post when it arrives & will decide whether it becomes my daily driver case (Other two are the OEM Clear Case & OEM Alcantara Case).

Waiting for it to come on to Amazon, still isn't on there:/
I have it, the power button is a little tough to push, but I like it a lot!! Skin looks great with it
^looks like the best bumper for us! Cool
I perorder mines (and one for me wife after she saw the videos she wanted it)
They said mines has been ship but no tracking number yet
I like the idea of not coving up your phone.
I went caseless back in the day with the plastic phones. But with the new all glass/metal phones its a bit different. The metal gets bend and the glass breaks.

That looks perfect, can't wait to get mine. Still no tracking number.
Looks good. Might get it with a skin as well.
Thanks.
Had one on my 6P. Dropped a number of times without any damage to the frame or screen. I will be getting one for my S8+ as well.
As for the power button being stiff...give it a week or so to break in. It gets easier to push.
My RhinoShield bumper arrived today & my 2¢:
Overall,it seems like a half-baked effort.
The sides do not cling to the phone well/gapping.
While I expected the case to add some width to the grip,they could have done a better job contouring the edges,the feel-in hand is akin to the S7 Edge,not good at all.
Buttons are extremely stiff to depress,should not be like this out of the box & require a "breaking-in" period.
For those that are planning on using a TGSP, the case may tighten up a bit,IDK,I don't use anything other than liquid sealers on my displays.
I may cut out the buttons & try using it like that. If it works out OK,I may use it on occasion,but,this case definitely falls in to the "occasional use only" category, I'll stick w/the OEM Samsung Clear hard case as a daily driver.
To say I'm disappointed would be an understatement,too bad Nillkin isn't making bumper cases anymore..........................

I'm really disappointed to hear this. I just ordered mine Monday since no one else seems to be making one. I've become fond of a good bumper and a cool skin.

I kind of agree with you. I was super excited for mine to come in, however, i was fairly disappointed when it arrived.
Exact same issues with it as you.
i also got one the other day and the fit is pretty bad, the sides of the bumper dont fit the phone well and for $25 i would have expected a lot better. I ordered a cheap spigen case off amazon for $11 and it fits much better then this does.

I've already boxed mine up,contacted EvoLutive Labs via e-mail & requested a refund.
I stated the reasons pretty much the same as we've experienced,hope to hear back in a day in a day or two.
I've been pleased w/their past efforts,but,this one is a fail. Perhaps those w/the S8 are having a better experience,probably not experiencing the loose fit as we are,chalk that up to the extra height of the S8+.
A tight fit is a challenge here,but,I feel it could have been better.
Forgot to post back.
I got my case a few days ago and been using it. It works for me so far.
The sides of the case does fit a little lose, but the phone doesnt slide around it. So all that is fine, its probably has something to do with the protection it offers.
The buttons are a bit on the hard side to push in.
The back have a nice lip so the camera and everything is lifted up. Same for the front.
The edges on the front are a bit exposed but it would have to be in order to use the phone. But it still seems like it would protect.
The phone feels great in this guard. there arent any sharp corners on the bumper.
I had a thin silicon case that had sharp corners on the ports and it would cut into my hand. This one doesnt do that which is great.
Also funny that my silicon case was suppose to be super thin but yet this bumper makes the phone seems alot thinner then the phone in the silicone case.
I got the black one and a blue on on the way for my wife. I doubt she will use it since i brought her a wallet case before she got her phone.
I'm still waiting on mine. I got an email with a tracking # finally, but it still says pre-shipment. So I guess it won't be showing up this week.

Yea therr shipping is weird.
Normally they email ypu saying your order is fulfilled.
Then a day or 2 later you get a tracking number.
It will say pershipment. Then a day or 2 later it will get pick up.
And then about 2-3days for it to make it to you.
