I love mine, but the cutout for the headphone jack is terrible. Looking for something similar that will actually allow me use a pair of headphones/auxiliary cable.
As long as you use the stock headphones you won't have any problems. Anything other than that and this case may not be fore you

This case has the exact same look even with the buttons as the bear motion on amazon. I wonder who is copying who.

EDIT: You need to push the power button harder compared to the volume buttons. I am still searching for a better bumper...

Who wants to use the crappy stock headphones though, when there are hundreds and hundreds of MUCH better options available
I will say though, just use a nice bluetooth stereo headset and this issue becomes nonexistent!

Mine was like this also until I took the case off and broke in the power button a bit. Basically, with the case off, just press the power button on the case in really hard up to ten times to break in the rubber. The button was better after that, guess the "hinge" part of the button was too stiff.
My power button is great. Didn't have to do any of that.

I don't mind the stiff response from the power button, I've had some that pressed too easily and turned on/off in my pocket or accidentally wrote I was holding a phone.
I mostly leave the phone on and wake it with the home button or by pulling out the S pen.

Neither. They are both sourcing them from the same supplier that allows their clients to brand the product.

It's not stiff, it's mushy. Saying "it's harder to press" actually means it's harder to activate/trigger. The material squishes and tilts instead of pushing straight down into the original button making it require much more travel to activate reliably.

How's the button action with the Active? I loved how the ActiveX felt with my Epic, but it had frustratingly-mushy "button feel" through the case. The power button wasn't *too* bad, but it was impossible to take a picture using the camera button with the case on (it required too much pressure to activate the button through the rubber nub, and the camera would shake).
I just got one, and will be starting another thread with my review & will take questions there!

Does anyone else have this issue? The middle clip on the power side wont clip down properly. I had to trim a tiny bit off the clip hole in the phone to get it to stay down. Even then its still bulges a bit.

Mine does it too, and Samsung will not replace it under warranty for whatever reason. They want me to pay to replace it, but don't know if the replacement part has the nfc. AT&T offered to replace the phone under warranty as I am well past my 30 days. It just pops off on its own, real annoying.

The reason it happens is because you've broken either one or several of the clips on the cover itself. Happens on mine too.

ETA: Case arrived today. Fits well and the sides come up just high enough to protect the screen. I am wondering about the longevity of the cutout around the volume buttons, though. Plus, there's the mystery cut out on the bottom. IIRC, the case was designed before the phone was actually released.

I just dropped my phone with this case and it hit where the volume buttons are and it didn't protect it. The lip the sticks out around the edges of the screen has nicks now and made one on the screen also.

I've got the otterbox commuter, it's good protection without being to massive.
I went with the Defender case. I removed the screen from the case and installed one of the Xtreme guard screens on the phone and am very happy with the look and feel of the phone. It may seem like a bit much, but after breaking my first phone in under 8 hrs - this was the best fit for me

Volume buttons work great, power is stiff as hell. Thinking about cutting the top to have direct access to the power button.

That's odd. I have a mucheasier time pressing the buttons with the case on rather than naked. I am loving my commuter. I don't exactly care for the way the screen protector is smaller than the face of the phone, but i guess that is about the only way to do it with the curved edges. I can honestly say that I hate the curved edges after trying 2 other screen protects and they will not stick.
I went with just the 3 pack of cheap screen protectors -- they do the job and you can easily replace them, and a flexible silicone case (the thin ones) because they absorb impact better than a hard case. It keeps the phone low profile and protected.

I will probably stick it out with the diztronic then. I figured that it might have been improved but it doesn't sound like it. Thanks.

One thing I quickly discovered about Diztronic is that the opening around headphone port is pretty small. The chord I use in my car doesn't fit but smaller headphone and computer speaker jacks do. I will try my full-size headphones today at the office.
Hey Guys -
I know the wireless charging will work because of the Qi standard, but will the phone stay put? Any impressions from those who own it would be appreciated.
I could be wrong but I don't think its magnetic.. the back of the nexus is glass I think the orb is just a rubberized surface that "grab's" the back of the phone.. i.e. just friction holds it on... I think!

I'm with you on this one, because I read it would be compatible with windows 8 and htc phones. And pictures look like the two circles on top are rubber. Just what it looks like to me
I have the touchstone charger and it has magnet in it.
from what I see it is held up 80% by friction, 20% by magnetic force.
Too bad the touchstone wont work on Droid DNA otherwise I think it would be a great charging dock.

Magnet lightly holds. The surface of the orb is quite sticky and holds it just fine by itself - the magnet is obviously less apparent with a case on.

Works like a charm! Together they're a thing of beauty.
So there is a magnet in it? I thought it would only be the anti-slip rubber that they try and sell for car dashboards. One question, does it work with the phone horizontal? That's something my Nokia DT-910 can't do.

Yes there is a magnet, yes it works with the phone in landscape.
However, it doesn't activate DreamScene or whatever it does with the N4 (also doesn't flip home screens to landscape like it does in car mode).

The dream mode is a 4.2 feature so I don't think anyone expected it to be on the DNA. And on stock there isn't landscape homedscreens. You'll either need a Rom or a 3rd party launcher for that.
