I have a slight amount of movement if I press the lower left corner of my phone front to back. I can visibly see that the cover does not fit as well on the left as it does on the right. This causes a slight creek in when pressed.
Can any of you confirm that your phone has the same issue or if your battery cover has a tight fit that is equal on both sides.
Thanks, z
I have this issue too. Doesn't bother me much.
Thanks for the input.
Not a big bother if it's common, otherwise I will consider exchanging the phone.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA App
same thing here, im sure i wont even notice it once i get a case
I noticed that too before I had the case. Once I put on this case, it feels nice.
My backing seems to be very stable, just thought I would put in something. i would take it back to get a new one.

When I first got the phone, the case was perfect; no creeks, no movement. But after using it for over 3 weeks and installing a skin (Skinomi carbon fiber), I noticed the same creeking on the lower left of the phone.
This was the same with my Sensation, but what I did to fix it was placed some sponge adhesive on the inside of the case. Two were placed on the lower portion of the inside of the case. This fixed the problem. I plan on doing the same with the Amaze. It actually makes the phone feel quite solid afterwards.

Hi, I have a HTC Pro for sprint, I love everything about it except the battery cover and volume buttons.
The cover creaks, and makes a ton of sound if I try to use the keyboard, one corner is loose, and I believe thats where the sound comes from.
Also the volume keys are hard to use and they sound more like creaking plastic, I cant even tell when it is actually clicking.
Anyone else have this problem? Mine has been like this since day 1.
Any fixes?
I was about to say "Perhaps you have a defective machine, as I also have a Touch Pro from Sprint and have not really noticed this problem" and then I picked it up... top corner as in the back cover right behind about where "Sprint" is printed on the front? Mine actually makes creaky noises there, too... with a bit of push.
I honestly don't notice the noises when I am typing with it, simply because I'm used to keyboards clicking, and noises around me, but I do see what you're saying. I have no fixes to offer, since it seems to be manufacturing rather than a joint or something that could do well with a little dab of WD-40 or something. If the noise takes over my mind, though, you are totally to blame.
Just got mine today. It's very pretty. My first note after only a few hours of usage is the top panel/screen slides a bit to easy, the mogul was a bit more tight...
With some well placed paper, I took small pieces and folded it once, on the corners you can make the cover fit better. This has silenced the creak people are talking about.
Considering the backis a peice of plastic that flexes to lock in and come off,
I don't mind the creaking. I'd prefer this than over a heavy piece of steel
with screws holding it in. The phone is heavy enough as it is.
Sure the quality control isnt' fantastic. The buttons on the face are a little raised up.. but not enough for me to be picky about it. The phones nice, I like it, and i'm happy it's pretty darn good.
Mine creeks too...and the power/volume hard keys dont give good feedback and have minimal travel. I feel as though the power button will break soon, especially since it's used so much to wake the phone. The overal construction is much more beautiful than the mogul, but aside from the keyboard buttons, the construction feels more flimsy, and the slider not as smooth as the mogul.
The touch screen seems to be less sensitive too.
Oh well...it's only a very expensive phone...
My cover creeked pretty bad. I cut a business card to fit and put it under the cover. Problem solved.
i fixed this by putting blue painters tape in layers and cutting to the right size and adding one layer at a time and then putting the cover back on then checking the noise. i reapeated this till it no longer creaked. this is not my fix but posted by someone at ppcgeeks and i think i was linked from there too. but the painters tape has a smooth surface on the non sticky side and it helps the battery cover slip on easily and is easily removed if you need to. hope this helps. oh yea the area around the micro sd slot is the main creaking area on mine and i have heard others say the same. it took 3-4 layers there.

I used some thin strip electrical tape 2 layers on the right side next to the camera. "QUITE NOW"
I think its individual defectiveness. My phone creaks only if I put my ear 1 inch away from it when i press the Sprint logo, extremely unnoticeable. It feels much more solid than my last phone, HTC(PPC)6700, the side buttons are all solid and secure and respond well. No tape needed. If this happened to my phone I'd take it back and demand a new one as it retails for 550USD and that sort of defectiveness is unnacceptable. Although my 6700 retailed for 600USD and was much cheaper.
Mine also has a little creek. There isn't much i dislike about this phone besides the lack of working FM at the moment, and most importantly, the performance of 3d applications/games,videos etc.
I'll try the tape thing tonight.
Wow I don't know why I didn't think about putting something behind the cover. I was complaining that mine feels cheap, but I just threw a few post its back there and now it's nice a firm! thanks!
I ordered my first touch pro over the phone, and it felt SO cheap with all of the "symptoms" of what everyone has been saying, but for a different reason I had to exchange it, and the one they gave me at the store feels SO much sturdier.. I am glad I exchanged..
This is my first review, so I hope it doesn't suck.
Both my wife and I have the Tilt 2. I decided to go with InvisibleShield while she wanted a case. After looking at all the comments here about cases not fitting, I decided to go with 2 different ones from Amazon. One fit horribly, so i wont even mention it.
She is using the Tilt2 Praetorian Slip and she loves it. Installation was a little tough as the fit is pretty precise. I suggest installing the top (screen) side first and then the bottom (keyboard). Install both with the KB extended. I have attached pics of the fit.
The only complaint I have (she thinks of it as a feature) is that the cover makes it a little more difficult to slide out the keyboard. She like it because it used to slide open in her purse (mostly because of the fact that she keeps it in an inside pocket of her purse which causes it to hit just right against crap she has in another pocket). Overall, this is a pretty nice cover. I am sure you can get it cheaper than amazon, but I had gift certificates to spend
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the review! I bought the same case a few months ago, although it was advertised as for the Verizon Touch Pro 2. I was unaware they made one for the Tilt 2. Now I won't have to worry about it falling off randomly!
thsi case probably wouldnt work with invisible shield on too huh

Neat.. glad yours fit. I ordered one for the Tilt2 from Amazon as well, and Boxwave sent one labeled 'Touch Pro 2'. I see yours doesn't have a cutout area for the PTT button either, do you have issues with that? My praetorian case would almost always trigger the PTT button whenever I handled the phone.
The top/screen portion of my Praetorian didn't fit right and opening and closing the top was almost impossible - even ended up ripping off the protective plastic along one side of the keyboard. (the protective plastic that is designed to be there, not the temporary stuff it whipped with) I can see just by looking at your pictures that your screen portion fits waay better than mine did.
When I contacted Boxwave about the issues, no questions asked and they sent a postage paid label for the return. I'd love to try this case again, as I did like the feel of it, but nervous about another no-fit. I went with BodyGuardz instead.. not sure I'm happy with those..

Man, sorry you had so many issues. The PTT button is indeed covered, but she has had no issues with it at all (hers is remapped to toggle bluetooth on and off). The fit on the screen portion is *very* tight. Took some effort to get it installed properly.
Also, mine definitely said "Tilt 2" on the packaging.
It is disappointing that it covers the PTT button. I assume your wife has abandoned that function (easily switching BT on/off)?
Thanks for posting reviews on this case -- I'm trying to decide what route to take to give my new Tilt 2 some added protection, and more importantly, cut down on the slickness/smudge magnet-ness of the shiny battery cover (which is my #1 gripe with the GSM TP2, both CDMA versions have rubberized covers which won't fit their GSM siblings due to the placement of the 3.5 mm jack).
I really wish someone made a rubberized battery cover to replace the shiny OEM one. These snap on type cases are okay, but they become a major pain as soon as you need to pop off the battery cover in order to flash a new ROM (as I do often), reset the device, or swap out memory cards. I worry trying to snap-in and pry off these cases frequently will damage the phone -- especially when it's a super snug fit. IMHO, a rubberized battery cover, along with perhaps the upper portion of this case to protect the chrome bezel from getting nicked would be an ideal solution! I may just go down to Home Depot this weekend and see if they have a spray that can rubberize plastic, then I might just buy a spare OEM battery cover and see if I can rubberize it.

Nope, the PTT button still works perfectly under the cover. Does not get accidentally pressed and is responsive when you push it.

Sounds like skinning/shielding your phone with GadgetShieldz might be the way to go. The GadgetShieldz does take a little time to install but it works. The protective film on the screen is easy to install and bubble free. It makes the phone non-slippery. It would not protect the phone like a case but it does prevent scratches. When installed, it adds very little weight and dimension to the phone.
Actually, there are other protective films/shields but I only have experience with GadgetShieldZ. It might work for you.

Just to report on this, I got one of these in the mail yesterday. So far I love it. It wasn't terribly difficult to get on. It fits very well too. My only real complaint is that it doesn't accommodate the PTT button that the Tilt 2 has right next to the volume buttons. It's not a big issue since I don't use PTT and the case doesn't prohibit using the key anyway.
Just be careful and make sure you order the one that specifically says it's for the Tilt 2. They make other models. I know they have the Praetorian on eBay but to be safe I opted to get mine directly from Boxwave. I got what I ordered too and could have used they're return policy if I needed.
Oh...I'll be happy to post pics if anyone wants but I think someone already put some up of this one a Tilt2.

I wish I'd seen your post sooner! Home Depot and Lowe's does indeed have something like that. I'm sure lots of hardware stores do. It's called Plasti-Dip. I have a can right here You can buy it as spray-on or dip/brush-on applications. I use it on mountain bike parts and tools for extra grip. I'm not positive how well it will stick to a slick plastic surface but it is an option.

I ordered one from BoxWave and I think I'm still going to shop around for something else. It seems like the Tilt2 has less options than the other variations of the Rhodium so people may just be settling for this due to "Slim Pickin's."
I like the way the gel gives more texture and grip to the phone, but I still feel uneasy because it's definitely not a snug fit. The part that covers the screen section of the phone is very flimsy and after you get it on, you want to keep checking it to make sure that it is attached; it feels like it can easily slip off at any time. This is specifically evident when you slide your screen up and tilt it. Tap the top right, or the middle section that really has no grip around the phone, and it might just pop off...
I still have it on my phone because it is the lesser of two evils, have something vs. not having something, but are there any other options for the Tilt2?

It's held up quiet nice...even with as much flashing I do (have to remove the bottom piece every time). I've figured out a great way to put it back on that's really fast and easy. Some people say it's difficult to get on. I think the top piece is the hard part but I've taken it off a few times and have no issues there either. It still fits good. If I remember, next time I take it off I'll shoot some pics of how I put it on and upload them.

I haven't really had any trouble with mine popping off. It took a bit to get the top on right and it was a pretty snug fit too. Getting the corner edges all the way tucked under was the hardest part. I'm guessing it's a manufacturing thing. Some say it's a tight fit and other say it's loose. I will agree that the sides on the top piece are flimsy because they're not attached the the phone but if they were it would probably make matters worse by either rubbing against the bottom piece or creating too big of a gap between the two parts of the phone.
I agree there aren't many options for the Tilt 2 and I hate to say it but there probably won't be.

If yours is a snug fit, I wonder if we received the same thing! Did you order from BoxWave? I have a little plastic tool that I used to get the corners onto the top half quickly which was actually made to fit into the creavice of a HTC Dash phone to pop the clips and take the phone apart. It works great and I can see the little flaps around the corner so you can tell the corners of the phone are between the gel lips.. It's still too easy to come off though..
Even though my receipt says "Praetorian Crystal Slip, HTC Tilt2, Smoke Grey - SKU: bw-268-3729-2808", it also says "ITEM: HTC TOUCH PRO2." The Box also has a white sticker in the top right that says "Praetorian Crystal Slip - TOUCH PRO2."
Do you remember if yours said the same? Maybe they somehow shipped me the wrong one?

Yeah I got mine directly from boxwave. They have like 3 different models of that slip. Most of the adds I saw on Amazon and eBay claimed it would fit on 3 or 4 different TP2 models which I knew it wouldn't. I emailed boxwave about the pics in their online catalog because it didn't look like a Tilt 2 to me and they admitted it wasn't. They said they didn't have one for the pics. Which made sense I mean why spend that much just to get pics but they promised it would fit so I figured what the hell. The hard covers kinda suck.
Thanks for the replies, I guess I will go ahead and order it and see what happens.
I just got the unbranded version of this case off ebay (the seller's id was e-story).
It's not too bad on my unbranded TP2. It's slightly more difficult to slide out the keyboard, and when the screen is fully tilted, the top row of keys are slightly obscured, but nothing too major in my opinion.
I like that the case improves the grip of the phone, but I'm also rather concerned that the case will eventually melt under hotter conditions since the material feels rather gummy.
Does anyone have experience with this case? I know it covers the mic (I plan to drill a little hole).
I just received mine today and I must say I'm very impressed by the quality of the mold they used. Meterial seems top notch. Love this case so far, they also included the new screen protector which is a plus. Ill get pictures up ASAP. I would definetly recommend this case to anyone with an s2.

Pictures would be great! I also have a white one on the way, hopefully as I placed an order over the weekend. I intended on modding the thing to get rid/fill in the antenna hole if I ever find the time, too (or find out if it really bothers me that much).
Ok, whats the deal with the corner cutout? I've seen this on several different cases. Does the international version have some sort of pullout antenna?
Case looks nice and classy but for what they are charging they should be offering a case that's specific to the AT&T model.
I recall reading that the corner cutouts are originally for Korean model phones. The antenna was in that area for those phones.
I really like it. It's a nice mix of hard and soft materials. It's flexible, which is nice because it makes removing the case fairly easy (for those of you who want to access the phone's back cover to hot swap batteries).
For the most part, the case feels pretty smooth, which makes getting it out of the pocket an easy process (I previously used the casemate pop case and the rubber sides made it fairly annoying to pull the phone out of the pocket). The case definitely adds more grip to the phone, but overall, it still is a little bit on the slippery side. On the continuum of "slippery vs. grippy" I'd say it's a pretty good balance, but I wouldn't mind it being a little more grippy.
Even though the case is made for the international GS2, it still fits well on the AT&T SG2. The noise-cancelling mic is covered by the case, but I have not had any problems as a result of this. However, you might come into problems if you are trying to use the phone in a noisy environment. I'm a little bothered by the corner cutout for the antennae (for the international SG2) since it really leaves that corner unprotected if the phone happened to fall right on that corner. Then again, i'm just going to take my chances that i'm not going to drop my phone on that exact corner.
The case still keeps the phone very thin and sleek. Also, the case has these tiny sparkle dots that show up on the back of the case, which give off a cool effect when reflecting light. Some may say, they make the case look a little feminine, but I personally don't think they do. In all honesty, you can't even really notice them unless you look close at the case and in the right lighting.
I got the yellow ultra capsule. I've heard one person say that these cases are prone for showing up finger smudges, but at least with my yellow one, finger smudges have not been a problem.
The case covers the volume and power keys. They are still pressable and work fine, but the buttons aren't as sensitive as they are without the case. However, this difference is really negligible for me. Overall, hardware buttons work fine.
I really liked the Body Glove Mirage cases that were made for the Samsung Captivate and the Infuse. In my opinion, this case is just as good as those cases.
can you guys post some pictures? want to see how much it adds to the thickness of the phone.
it does look good from their website though..
Sorry on the delay for the pictures guys, let me know if you need any certain perspectives on some more pictures.

what does the unprotected corner look like with that case?
So I just got a View, and for the most part it seems to be a well-crafted device. But, when I press on the front side of the plastic piece on the bottom (right above the charging port), it makes like a cracking noise, like the plastic doesn't fit right. Does anyone else have this? I'm trying to decide whether it's major enough to try to send in for warranty/RMA, especially since I took the OTA to HC and now want to HTC unlock to flash back and do S-Off for some rom action, which I think would void the warranty :-/
Mine is very solid, no cracking at all.
just got mine today and it does have that cracking noise ..
Hmm okay....well so far is 50/50 lol so maybe its common. I noticed that the plastic piece on the bottom can be slid forward and lifted off the charge port, and the noise seems to be coming from the gap between the screen border and the plastic piece over the charge port. So, maybe I'll try putting something in the gap to see if it stops. I feel stupid doing a warranty claim for something so trivial.
no cracking here, but i got something i do not like.
the screen is not fitted correctly on the lower side of the device.
It is not in line with the rest of the metal part, in fact is aprox 1 mm above it.
If you look at it you may not see it but if you swype your finger you can feel the edge of the glass.
But otherwise it is well built device.
I do not think i am going to try to replace it(or maybe i will).
That's ok. I almost ripped my bottom off looking for the sd card slot.

Lol my View has that too! Click click click
Also afflicted with the click. Kind of annoying bit of cheapness/shodiness on an otherwise very solid device. Wondering if a silicone cover would help mask it...
I have something similar but it was on the top camera cover. Where it wraps around directly under the power button it didnt seal right, and there was a gap that irritated me. After trying to fix it with no luck I ended up sending it back to amazon and bought another. New one perfect.
After a pint or two at the pub, the lighted buttons wiggle and wave at me. Should I return the unit, or stop drinking so much?
Not sure who has this problem, but my phone tended to "creak" when pressed at certain points. I decided to figure out why this was happening. Turns out the battery itself has a little more motion than ideal and the phone was making the creak noise with the back cover off when i pushed on the battery.
My simple fix was to cut out a few pieces of paper the size of the battery and put them between the back cover and the battery.
This makes the phone feel much more solid. I'm sure tape would do the same thing. The trick is to find the right thickness between stopping the noise and still allowing the cover to fit on tightly.

Not sure who has this problem, but my phone tended to "creak" when pressed at certain points. I decided to figure out why this was happening. Turns out the battery itself has a little more motion than ideal and the phone was making the creak noise with the back cover off when i pushed on the battery.
My simple fix was to cut out a few pieces of paper the size of the battery and put them between the back cover and the battery.

I haven't had the same issue, but on my first Dinc 4G, the back case immediately next to the volume rocker was slightly loose, and I could press on it and feel a similar creak to what you're talking about. I traded it in after a week because of a few other issues, and this new one doesn't have that same problem. I didn't do anything to try to remedy it, so I don't know the best solution.
theres now 4 inc4g ltes within my family lol.
the creek is only noticeable on two of them.
My solution to the creaky problem was to take the cover off and cover the little dimple thingies with electrical tape.
Works like a champ.

I take a more simplistic approach for all the phones i purchase and issue here at work. Peel off 3 of the small postit notes, stick it on the battery, no creaks, groans or otherwise irritating sounds.
