I just received the highly regarded ringke Fusion Case and the USB flap doesn't close/ fit into the micro USB slot.
I assume this is a defect since my headphones flap fits fine, but I'm reaching out for others input to confirm my defect assumption.
Mine didn't fit perfectly either. I just cut it off.
Although I don't own the Ringke Fusion, I do however own two Ringke Fusion MAX cases and their flaps for the headphone jack and usb port fit perfectly.
I've had my N6 in a ringke Fusion for almost a year now, and both flaps still fit snug as they did out of the packaging. I'll also add that the USB port gets used very often.
I have the smoked version.

Experience with several phones and cases . . . when the case did not fit; I made it fit with the help of a sharp knife.
Thanks. I know I can cut it off, but I would expect it to be 100% functional out of the box.
The one I bought for my Moto G3 fits great! They have good customer support...maybe they would be willing to swap it for you?
My USB cover doesn't fit either. I may try reaching out to their customer service even tho I've had it for a little bit now. I did almost do as others said and just cut it off.
Mine fits but it does have to be pushed in, not effortless like some other cases. For those of you who got it from Ringke on Amazon I would definitely reach out to Ringke, Amazon is very strict on sellers so they are usually very responsive/generous when it comes to defective products.
Just FYI that Ringke is sending out a replacement. They were very responsive and quick to resolve. Hopefully the replacement works as expected.
I reached out to Ringke.. They offered me a 20% refund and said it is a common issue in which most people just cut off with scissors. Defeats the purpose of even having them.
Not good customer service at all and probably won't purchase from again.

Although not normally a fan of cases for phones, I've now dropped my Atrix a few times (due to the hopeless shiny back with a total lack of grip) so I've decided I need to get one! Luckily, the Atrix has only been dropped onto carpet so it remains undamaged.
I don't like the silicone cases and I'm not overly keen on the TPU ones either. The 'official' rubberised battery cases looked like the right sort of thing, but after checking the reviews, I'm not keen on the way the side bits on the front can come loose when coming in or out of the pocket.
As I'm looking for something slim/lightweight, I think this leaves me with either the Seidio Surface or the Incipio Feather.
My questions is this: Regardless of the amount these cases protect the phone in case of being dropped, are they actually likely to help me to avoid dropping them? Do these cases improve the 'grippability' of the Atrix?
Any helpful comments are appreciated!
I used the Incipio Feather for a few months. I really liked the "low-profile" but it was very fragile. I ended up cracking two of them just from taking them off to do battery pulls. As far as grip goes, it was generally nice to hold but doesn't offer that much more grip then the phone by itself. I've also used the Ballistic SG and while it was too bulky for me it had excellent grip. I was able to put it on my lap, back facing down, while driving and it never moved.
Currently I use the Speck Candyshell and it holds up pretty well. Grip can become an issue if your palms get sweaty as the exterior is all hard plastic.

I had the feather. After two drops on different corners, the case had cracks. I expected as much and the case did its job. I got the Incipio silicrylic case as a replacement, which has a silicon cover AND a hard cover. It's slightly bulkier than the feather, but it still looks good and is definitely more sturdy. Case is grippy but not overly grippy where you have a tough time putting the phone in your pocket. I can remove the case without fear of cracking it, unlike the feather.
I had one of the Incipio Feather's also. It lasted about 2 months before it completely fell apart. Is is a nice case and I really liked the feel and look of it and it will fit in the car dock with a little modification. But it is not rugged enough for me to recommend. I am using a TPC case now. Does the job. Easy to remove to put in my Car Dock, LapDock or Standard Dock. It feels much better than the Atrix does by itself. But it is kinda ugly. But I have dropped it a few times and it keeps my Atrix safe.
The Seidio Active was my choice and I like it a lot. Two pieces - rubber with hard shell skeleton protects it nicely.
I can remove it (to dock) in seconds and replace it quickly too. Got it at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004WKIEF2/ref=oh_o03_s00_i01_details
That's the sapphire blue one, but they have other colors.
I'm using the otterbox commuter case. I got it off of Amazon.com for only 20 bucks on Saturday. So far it's been amazing

When talking about cases, would it be possible to mention (as some of the posts do) which docks these work with (I use all the docks...car, HD/standard docks, lapdock). Also a link to some site with the product or a good enough description that I can google it.
I hate to be a pain in asking for the extrra info, but I'm looking for a case now, too and don't want to have to remove it all the time (especially for the car dock).
Of all the experiences I have read about cases and their compatibility with docks, the only one that I have heard that works is the Incipio Feather (or somehting similar) when taking in the consideration of actually not removing the case.

Yes, I have read that people just simply remove the insert that is in the docks and it fits just fine. I have seen pics before too but can't remember where I saw them. Maybe I can try to find them.

Here is a thread about a mesh cover (which is essentially the Feather but with a mesh look) and the second link is a post of someone in that thread showing the Atrix in the car dock with the case on.
Thread:

Here is another thread discussing (and maybe confirming) the Feather working with docks:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982574
The Incipio feather will fit in the car dock with the cardock insert removed, but the latch wont close. It has a ridge that comes over the face of the phone, but sits on top of the feather case. It will work if you make sure you have it inserted firmly all of the way in. I take corners pretty fast and had it fall out a couple of times. I modified mine to make the latch close pretty easily. Put it in the cardock and marked the outline with a X-acto knife. Used diagonal cutters to cut the 2 short vertical cuts. Scored the Horizontal mark with the X-acto knife and snapped the piece off with some lineman pliers. Now that these are $10 apiece I am tempted to get another one (or 2). Just was not worth the 25 bucks I paid 6 months ago.
Thanks for the various comments about cases.
I've looked at the various recommended cases and think I'll probably have to give the Incipio Feather a miss if it is as fragile as others have mentioned. I'm based in the UK so I'd have to order the case from the US (can't locate a UK seller) and this would cost me the equivalent of around US $ 45.00 which is a bit too much for something which won't last long!
Various other hard cases aren't available in the UK either (or not at decent prices) and, for me, the most important thing is to have a case lacking in bulk.
The Otterbox Commuter is the only one I get can get reasonably cheaply from within the UK (about US $ 20) but I'm not taken by the look of this.
Therefore, I think I've settled on the Seidio Surface which looks to have good reviews and will hopefully be the sort of slimline case I can deal with. I can obtain this via Amazon UK from a US seller for a mere US 36.00!
Incidentally, in the monster "Ruggedized battery cover" thread, there was mention that the Seidio Surface fits the lapdock and can be easily removed for the car dock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16600986&postcount=379
I don't own either dock so this isn't really of relevance to me!
I started looking for a discrete case for the same reason (battery door is way too slippery.)
There were some Chinese-made rubberized battery door replacements that seemed popular a while back. Most of the mobile accessory sites that carried them sold out, though I found and ordered one on eBay. The seller seems to have more:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Back-Cover-...ltDomain_0&hash=item415bd6c69c#ht_2880wt_1085
I just got my yesterday. Fitment is surprisingly accurate, no misaligned cutouts or anything, and the added bulk is acceptable. Feels much better in hand now, too, when typing in landscape mode. It takes a deliberate effort to free the phone from the case, as it has a couple of tabs that clip into the retaining slots used by the factory battery door. Haven't noticed it snagging or coming loose as it goes in and out of my pocket either.
edit:
I just noticed the "dock fitment" discussion going on in this thread. I can't say anything about this case + docks since I don't own any docks.
I fashioned a case out of 3M carbon vinyl wrap. Keeps that Carbon Fibre effect on the back case whilst making it much more grippy (never dropped it since) and much more aesthetically pleasing as it gives off a 3D carbon fibre effect.
I can post pics if you like
Also worth mentioning you can pick this stuff up dead cheap off eBay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30x20cm-G...arParts_SM&hash=item4cf189dd66#ht_1792wt_1163
This sheet will give you a few attempts at it. It took me 2 to get mine the way I liked it
If you are just looking for grip without affecting aesthetics the Zagg Total protection is a great option. Clear is nearly impossible to tell it is on there. It is the same material and install as the screen protector. So no residue when removed. Make sure you read/watch the install tips from Zagg. I have been using it since April without a drop.
I have; however, decided to get a case and am trying the Seidio Active. The wife got the Incipio Silicrylic. both indeed fit in the HD/Standard Dock with the insert removed, I'm curious about whether there is enough support from the back of the dock though. As mentioned, I'm guessing the car dock will not close due to the extra couple millimeters, but will try it out and reply if it does indeed work.
Well, the Seidio Surface winged its way across the Atlantic reasonably quickly and I received it earlier this week.
It is very slightly bulkier than I expected but it is still very slimline so this isn't a problem as it still fits in my pocket easily. A little more difficult to take the phone out of my pocket than previously but again, not really a problem.
The surface of case itself isn't as 'grippy' as I expected, either, but it is a great improvement to the usual slick battery cover and I haven't juggled with it yet this week! I can now operate the phone using one hand if necessary without fear that I will lose my grip and drop it.
There are a few small imperfections on the back of the case - it would seem as though there were a few specks of dust or some other substance on the case before it was covered with the rubberised coating as a few tiny bumps can be felt. Not enough of a problem for me to bother returning it all the way to the US, however!
It is slightly tricky to take the Seidio Surface off the phone - it seems to come off easily sometimes but remain stubbornly in place at others. I think I'll need to practice taking it on and off the phone a bit more until I get the knack.
Overall, I'm reasonably impressed with the case and would give it an 8/10. It would have received a higher score had it not been so ridiculously expensive for me to buy here in the UK - Amazon.com are selling it at approximately half the price I paid!
Looks pretty nice

i would definitely buy it but there isn't any cut for the magnetic charger, don't feel like opening the flappy microSD and charger every time for charging.
Slip your Sony Xperia Z2 into this custom fit Matte Back Black TPU Case by Diztronic and experience the peace of mind of knowing your investment is well protected. Flexible, yet stronger and more durable than silicone, TPU offers excellent shock absorption and abrasion resistance while maintaining a thin form factor.
Just bought one
I just ordered a matte black Diztronic case from their website listed by the OP. I haven't even received my new-to-me-but-used Xperia yet, but I'm thinking ahead! I have the same type of Diztronic case on my Nexus 4 and it's been absolutely great for over 1.5 years use, and a handful of good drops. I do wish the cutout was there for the magnetic charger, but I still wanted to see what it was like, maybe even cut that section out by hand if the rest of the case makes it good enough to keep.
Love it, but...

FWIW, after a few months, I love this Diztronic case...except I do dislike taking the phone out of the case to charge in my dock. It's not annoying enough for me to use something else, however, as this case is really perfect fitting, durable, not slippery, and looks nice if you like the matte finish. The other slim case I bought has a cutout for the charging dock, but still doesn't actually fit (with either spacer option). I'd have to 3D print a custom cradle spacer with additional clearance on one side, and that's not worth it. So, alas, I will probably continue to just take it out of the case every night. I will say that since battery life is so good on this phone, I pretty much never have to charge during the day, so never have to open the micro-usb cover, or take the case off to use the magnetic charger adapter (which I usually only use for traveling).
Simple and good~
Just got my cover in the mail today. Unfortunately it leaves a bit gap at the bottom where the USB port is. Anyone else got this cover and have the same issue? Also the buttons are a bit stiff.

Yes, mine is pretty similar.
I can live with it, it is quite a decent case for the cash and I like the stiffer buttons as they help to prevent 'pocket presses'

Ah! OK that's interesting to know. My main concern was it being a weak point during a drop (like if something hitting it square on the front edge). It's a shame it's not just a little more snug fitting as it would be perfect otherwise. The main reason I got this case instead of a standard TPU is so I can put the metal plate for my magnetic car phone holder behind the plastic back which works really well. I do notice when putting the USB cable in the phone can shift slightly up and down in the rubber housing. It's just a fraction longer than it should be. I have also ordered the Brotect screen protector after trying some other brand that is absolute carp! I am waiting on a refund for those (ordered 3 of them in case I messed up the first). I also have an issue with garbled voice on calls but not sure if that is down to my network or not yet.
Also the lack of accessories is rather depressing.
But that's what happens when you don't follow the iPhone/Samsung crowd.
Fun and games eh?

Good idea for the use of the removeable plate.
Yes, bit disappointing about accessories - but the phone is great.
I have a Nillkin hardcase and a Nillkin flip case too - both really good and much slimmer fit than the J&D, but they offer less protection, so I will stick with J&D for now
I have the Incipio version of that case style, it fits great.

How thick does this make the phone
Just a heads up everyone, I tried the Razer Word Case and was unhappy with the coverage/protection so I switched to the Tudia Merge. Better case all around, but it prevented the Razer Wireless Charger from quick charging. It would still charge (usually slowly), but I wanted good protection and quick wireless charging.
The Spigen delivered! Quick charging, good grip, full coverage, and it was a dollar cheaper on Amazon!
This will be what I'm sticking with.
I am not using the wireless charger, but I am also using the liquid air armor case and enjoy it quite well. I was hoping Spigen would release their "rugged armor" style series for this phone (I have used this style on several phones in the past), but I spoke with a rep at Spigen and they indicated they do not have plans to make that series for the RP2 at this time

I'm rocking the same case now. It's kinda great but it didn't stop me from denting the speaker grills but overall protection, it delivers.
Mine is arriving tomorrow.
I have always had spigen cases on my phones ad even after many drops from my daughter no phone has ever been damaged from a fall.
I expect this case to be as good!
Sent from my Phone 2 using Tapatalk
I have one. Love it!
Is this bulkier or same size as the Tudia Merge case?
I got this case as well and it's awesome.
Initially I bought the Razer carbon fiber case, despite many reviews saying not to, and that thing was awful! It felt like paper, not very protective, and was more slippery than the phone!
Got this case as well. Not bulky at all in my opinion, and the case feels solidly good. the buttons are easy to press. would have liked to see a kickstand. no regrets!

+1.. I originally wanted the Razer case, but at ~$45, I wasn't about to spend that much. Went with the Spigen (looks exactly the same), and haven't looked back. I got it on Amazon for around $14 (IIRC), and it is perfect. Good texture for grip, doesn't impeded button usage at all, and looks really good. I've been kicking around getting the slate grey one on Amazon, but haven't really decided yet.
I had bought some cheap glass for the front and it flexed with the case on the sides, so I ordered a better glass. I ended up using the old glass on the back (in between the back and case) to cover the circle hole to keep the glass from getting etched. Wireless charging still works I think adds some rigidity. The super shieldz glass works best with the case for the front. It butts right up against the sides of the case with, no lifting or flexing of the glass.

If i put the spigen liquid air case on, i don't get fast charging. When i put the phone on the Razer wireless charger with the case on, it first indicates "charging slowly" and then it switches to "charging" but no "charging rapidly" anymore.
I know 40 is alot to spend on a case these days for sure. I do have to say though, that I shelled it out, got the Razer brand case and I honestly think it was well worth it. By far the most protective case you can get for this phone so if peace of mind is big for anyone I def recommend getting that case.
Hey all if anyone looking for the new Pitaka MagEZ Case for S20 series it's finally out. Mine is on the way, Pitaka makes awesome products.
If you plan on ordering anything take a look and use the link below for extra 10% off.

Got my shipping notification today as well. Ordered the MagEZ and dashboard mount wireless charger. Are you in the US? How long do you think it will take to deliver?
Shipping notice on DHL site updated w Tuesday (4/7) delivery now.
They're really quick with shipping. Have ordered several of their products. I'm in Canada, my case should come this week.
When did you order?
I ordered Monday night and the web site indicated that it would ship the next day.
Here it is Thursday afternoon and I have not received any notification. Clicking on the order link in the original email just shows the same thing: order received. Do they ship from China?
Thinking of cancelling TBH.
Yes they ship from China. You should get something soon. But reach out to their support team in case. They're very responsive and helpful usually.

So got my MagEZ and the wireless charger dash mount. Did not expect the metal plates to be so low on the phone body - I guess that's how they don't block the wireless charging coil.
I'm actually more disappointed in the lack of screen coverage. The sides of the phone are the most exposed in this case then any other case I've tried but worst is the lack of lip on the top of bottom. On every other case I've tried, there is at least some gap when I turn it face down on the table - with this case on, this is pretty much laying down flush on the screen itself.
Got my MagEZ today, finally nearly two weeks after ordering. USPS isn't the greatest for sure!
It's a good case. Definitely NOT for protection. I mean it will provide more protection than nothing. In hand it feels nice. The presentation is also good. As in you can tell it's not an Otterbox!
If one want's thinner they'd have to skin their phone. There's something about a naked phone, dunno, the edges feel weird like I'm going to drop it in an instant. It's weird because before the days of non removable batteries it actually didn't feel "wrong" rocking a naked phone...

So that is a latercase, no Pitaka with metal plates (and still wirelessly charging).
I like the latercases rim being bent upwards but they are missing the metal plates.
Also, I do not like the manufacturers actions around Pitaka and would therefore, personally, not buy from them. But that is my personal opinion only.

Agreed. Latercase straight up ripped Pitaka off and just because he has a bigger audience felt he could get away with it.
I got the Pitaka Mag case as well. This is my 3rd Pitaka case. Had this on my s8 and s10 before. This model seems to fit lower on the sides than previous models and the cutout for the charging port is wide open this year. Not sure why. This is still my favorite case because it's strong, super thin, and metal plates for car mount.

It's open at the bottom because to close it there would be a very thin strip that would be rather flimsy. Still far better than having the entire bottom open.
My only gripe about this case is how hard it is to take off! But once it's on, it's very solid and doesn't feel like it's peeling away or falling off when you grab the edges like most thin TPU style cases.
I have to say that it is perfect, IMO. I am using Pitaka since the S8 and they are always in a class of their own. I tried like 100 cases over the years and I have settled to this:
- Pitaka Mag Case for daily, normal use. This is the best for me.
- "Self made" Pitaka Pro case (more sturdy) using a dbrand grip case and placing the Pitaka metal plates in the right places under the back skin, salvaged from an old Pitaka case (destructive). This is the sturdy case, still offering magnetic attachment and wireless charging.

Good idea! I wish they would make the procase for Galaxy phones. I too use the MagEz case as my daily and now using the Ringke Fusion X as my rugged case when needed. Last year I tried those O shaped metal rings attached to the back of a Tech 21 but it still didn't quite line up with the car mount. I thought about getting the plates from a previous case but luckily been able to resell them for close to 50% value.
