Has anyone had issues with Bellroy cases? I've had my case for 14 days and the case tore like tissue paper in two spots. Bellroy refuses to replace the case and blames it entirely on normal wear and tear. My phone sits on my desk or a table nearly all day while I'm at home or work. Apparently their "engineers" deemed those "high contact" areas. Anybody having issues with their Bellroy case?
Mine is as good as new. I've had mine since the release.
I too have a blue case ..it has developed a strange patch in the centre and looks weird..can't figure out why ?
That's disgusting. Get PayPal or your Cc company to fight it. It's defective.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that they came in that color. Mine is black...
I have the gray one and it looks brand new. Got it on release day and don't treat it gently.

Which is why I find it odd they blamed me for accidental damage and saying they're "high contact areas." Mine is mostly on a desk or wireless charger. They seem to believe their quality assurance process is flawless.

My $12 Caseology case I had while waiting for this still looks brand new and was used in the same manner. According to them I mistreated my case in 14 days that blew the 3 year warranty.
Well I'm ditching the Bellroy. Dropped my P6P onto concrete floor. It bounced up and hit the edge perfectly on a forklift. Broke the screen and glass covering the cameras. $500+ to get it repaired and I have to send it to Google to get the repair done since all the authorized repair places don't have the parts. 25+ years and this is the first cellphone screen I've broken.

Really sorry to hear that!
Can we get a moderator to clean that up (I reported it)? Even if someone's trying to be helpful, that's a ton of links.
I highly recommend no one click on any of those links.
@MikeChannon, @Oswald Boelcke
Edit: Thanks to who took care of it!

Hi all,
Recently I dropped my beloved phone and now there's an unsightly dent in the corner and the silver border (euro version) is really badly scuffed. It still works though.
But I like my devices pristine so I can't stand to look at it now!
Tbf I can still get £150 for from one of those phone trade in companies.
And can sell an old e71 for just under 100, which can go towards a new different handset.
Or is it at all possible to refurbish anywhere and then attempt a higher sale? I'd rather not wait weeks/months though.
Please offer any advice.
Thank you.
Ibelieve you can buy replacement screen/front cover. I seen a couple posts with links to ebay for them.
Wow, what would you do if your girlfriend had a zit?

I'm not sure if thats the damaged part, but that is what I was talking about.
mines got the same thing, dent/scratch in the top right corner, but it just adds character
i know if i fix it, i'll just go out and drop it again.
Maybe you could just put a case over it to hide it and protect it from future damage?

Stupidly i did the opposite. As soon as i dropped my phone i was in such a piss poor mood i just put it in my jeans pocket. I was cursing the stoopid fiddly case!
So aswell as the corner dent, the silvery bit started to peel away. Funnily, every other part of the phone is still in perfect condition.
I doubt any personal buyer would be interested so i think im just gonna give it to Envirophone or other.
Better than other situations where i could've lost it or internally detsroyed..

You might be surprised!! Put a post up in the marketplace section, you might just find an interested party
Why not get another one and save this one for parts. That way when you drop the new one and scratch the back cover you can already have a replacement.
hi has anyone tried this?
cracked my screen this morning, grabbed it from my bedside table, it was plugged in to the charger, tugged out of me hand flat on the floor and pow.
so i found these on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-Desire-Brav...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item439f675cd7
htc digitizers/ screens whatever you would like to call them...
so has anyone tried this? are these reliable? good quality? could be a cheaper solution for the many people who have cracked their screens in this forum.
thanks.
*** (* This is Touch Screen / Touch Pad Only, LCD Display Screen NOT included)
most cracked screens are only the touch screen so buying this is fine, if you ****ed the LCD display your phone most likely got under a car's wheels.
Take out an insurance policy, wait a month, sorted
yeah the lcd is completely fine its the digitizer..
i dont want to wait one month.. i might just get this to try it out.. then take out insurance..
anybody know good insurance company in the uk?

tell me about it, it took me aaaaages to get money from barclays for my touch hd and i wasnt frauding... in the end they lost my phone but they sent me some money and that took too long!
I wouldnt buy anything from EWWT, I have an open paypal claim on them, I ordered a case for a tytnII, very slow to ship, the keyboard was faulty and the case is missing all of the sub assemblies glued inside, looks like they have sold me a non working "dislplay" case, pack of bastards.

thanks, good info. i wouldnt have got it from him anyway im looking for something closer to home..
so has no one got one of these before? will the quality not be as good?
So, over the past two months, my body glove case from sprint has basically just fallen apart. I remember when u first got it, I thought a lot of the reviews were full of **** bc it worked so well for me. Then, both of the top corners chipped off the backside just from normal use! No drops! I don't even put my phone in pocket, I use a holster.
The straw was when the piece by the volume broke. I called sprint, and they said that it was an in store issue. So I went in the next day.
I go in with my receipt. It was just over two months old, so I was all ready to cuss these people out when they said something, but the guy who came to the podium said I dint even need my receipt, that it was known problem and they replace these all the time.
Of course it varies store to store so ymmv, but if yours gas broken, its at least worth giving a shot at just bringing it back bc it seems like they've caught wind that these things are junk.
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
Which body glove case?
Was it this one?
http://www.estocksurplus.com/product_info.php?products_model=BG-9145301-MobA
No, its the one sold directly from sprint
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
the reason you didn't need a receipt is because its a Sprint only product, and its less than a year old because its for the evo (obvious) and sprint warranties all of there accessories for a year.
You are however by policy still supposed to have a receipt but i'll tell you right now that accessories at sprint stores are fairly loosely controlled haha solong as its rung out of the inventory doesn't matter
oh and BTW every single body glove I've ever sold for sprint was a POS the coating always comes off.
LOL I told ya! Even the one from bodyglove with the foam back is crap. I have had both versions and they are both POS. I will never buy a body glove product ever again, as mentioned they always start to peel as was the case when I had my Lg env touch. Otterbox needs to get the ball rolling so I can buy a case that doesn't explode when you drop it.
Mine broke recently too, I'm going to try too return, what will they do, refund me, give me new one, or can I exchange for different case?
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using XDA app
I'm on my 3rd right now, the others have been returned without an issue. This one will probably go back soon as well because it's starting to break, that is, unless the Otterbox cases are available before it completely breaks.
This story is an EXAMPLE of why you shouldn't go into a store or whatever with a "I'm going to cuss them out if they dont do what I want" attitude.
Ask anyone who works customer service and they will all tell you that customers who act like assholes and start cussing etc will be told to leave.

Oh, my bad. I agree with you completely. Good point. Chances are if you have a problem, it's a pretty common problem. If you are calm, they will be much more willing to help.
mine broke at the volume rocker, and they wanted to give me a cheesy ass rubber one.. I said EFF that, i just ordered 2 seidio rugged cases for me and my bro.

before i got my case from BB i went thou 5 of them POS bodyglove cases
Just remember retail employees are there to sell you crap and help you, make it easy on them and let them do there job.
they didnt make the case, they didnt make the f'ed up billing process, they didnt make your problem haha.
Altho I will admit I f'ed up some peoples sprint accounts before, minor stuff, always fixed it, just a email away haha. very rare.
I got one off Ebay for five bucks. I wonder if sprint would replace it.

I threw mine in the trash today at lunch...
Does it have to be within 30 days from purchase to get it replaced or refunded?
No, all accessories are covered with a year warrantey. I used up 6 of those crappy cases and never had a problem returning them.
They even let me return my last unbroken one and credited it towards the purchase of a new otterbox case.
I bought my evo used and it came with a Body Glove case. I have to say it is the biggest pos i have ever seen. The grey rubber back is peeling off and yes the part by the volume broke on mine too. I just filed down the sharp edges, I like having easier access to the volume. I'm going to be a freeloader and see what they will offer me in exchange.

So, yeah, after two days of ownership yesterday I briefly brushed up against a dirty car and scuffed the glass on my 360. After talking to Moto customer support, they suggested I exchange it at a Best Buy (where I bought it) because I'm still within the 15 days. I'll check out if the nearest BBs have stock and try to exchange, but I'm not holding my breath.
Other than that, what does everybody thing about trying to buff out the scratches? I'd take it to a jeweler, as I know they do that with watch faces pretty regularly.

Jeweler can't do anything for you. Talk to your local best buy about returning it. They may have to give you a break on 15 days.
Otherwise, putting a screen protector on it will likely hide most of the scuff.

I have little doubt BB will take it back. I'll keep checking in until my 15 days is up, though, so I'm not without one. Other than that, yeah, I'm sure a screen protector will hide most of it.
Im actually surprised to hear that. I can't imagine why they would accept a user damaged return. I thought most return policies, including theirs stated resell-able condition.
Here's a guy that said he found a polish for gorrilla glass:

I just purchased a back cover for my Z3C and noticed that it covers the camera lens too. That's a nice feature considering so many have scratched their lenses.
And it goes without saying, I DO NOT WORK FOR THIS COMPANY! Just trying to share the deal I got.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/
I got in on this for another phone but didn't see anything for the z3c, otherwise i would have ordered something for the back
Guess my brain wasn't working that day, just found it. This will be perfect for the back plus better grip. Ive used these in the past with great results
thanks for sharing! just ordered one too!
does it fit with devilcase?
I don't see why it wouldn't. It's just a thin piece of tpu

These were so cheap, I purchased two of them. I've noticed that these films tend to yellow over time, and it really shows on a white phone.

I hope not, I really like their protectors; mainly for the back. However they do need to work on the yellowing issue as you mentioned.
Also they just came out with their spartan glass screen protectors. Really hard to say, what's going on but I'm not complaining
Will have to stock up on a few items just in case
Edit: Just went to their page and saw that they now offer lifetime warranty on their protectors, granted most will update at least every 2 years I imagine. So the warranty is kind of pointless; good marketing scheme though. Also looks like they are starting to offer more products overall. So I'm not sure why the low prices, maybe to stay competitive?
EDIT 2: maybe you are right, just reread the email and says "*Limited quantities are available in tempered glass and other accessories by XtremeGuard. These products will only be available while supplies last"
Sorry to double post but wanted this separate from my last post.
I believe this code is good for more than 1 use; so anyone wanting to use it on the site is more than welcome. I just ordered a bunch of protectors, etc for various devices we have.
price comes out to dirt cheap.
91% off 2-15 items storewide: BEACH91 enjoy! At this price, you can't go wrong
otherwise they still have their summer80 off.
