Holding the edge and wrist pain - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me or is the edge awkward to hold as if you don't hold it on the thin metal edge you'll touch the screen.
I've found my wrist and arm aches kind of RSI style.

Cracked keys ?

I have no idea when and how but I have a couple of slightly damaged keys on my dock. The "x" key has slight damage and a hairline crack on the top edge and the ";" key has the top left corner almost cracked off completely. The plastic actually feels very brittle so I'm wondering if they are overly sensitive to even light impact ?
I almost always transport my Prime folded and in a bag or neoprene pouch and occassionally store it "back to back" when I have been reading a newspaper on the underground and am getting off - but there is nothing in that scenario I can feel that may impact the keyboard.
Le sigh.

Speck Candyshell case power button

Hello, I just purchased the Candyshell case for the ATT Note and the power button seems tight where its seems like its almost depressed without pressing on it. It does not feel tactile like the volume keys are, for those who have this case, is this your experience with the case as well?
I have the same case.... No problems with any of the buttons. The travel distance and pressure required to activate the buttons appear to be normal.
Ok I wonder if I just have a bad case?

How is the Dura-Skin holding up on your V10?

Just wondering how durable the Dura-Skin is on the front top & bottom of the phone?
How's it holding up?
Any wear marks, scratches ETC?
I've only had mine for maybe 2 weeks but it's still perfect. I even accidentally like spiked it onto the bathroom floor like a football and it's still perfect everywhere.
I started with a skinomi skin... it looks great.. and I didn't use the provided screen protector or back protector. but all other surfaces were covered. I did have a problem with the skin sticking to the corners of the rails so I trimmed them before they peeled off too much then put the thin TPU case on...
I like the case. doesn't add any bulk and adds a bit of grip.
Still perfect but ihave a little wear n tear on the side rails im gonna change them for black rubber ones when they get released ` will make the phone more durable and lighter
The Duraskin on the top and bottom of the phone is perfect. However, the coating on my back cover started peeling on the bottom edge near the USB port within a few days. It's not bad, but its there.
Hard to capture in a picture.

[Q] XPERIA Z2 buttons problem

Hello, I've accidentally spilled some cappuccino with a lot of sugar on my Xperia Z2 phone.
Luckily, it had all of the flap covers properly closed.
But it was so sticky that i eventually washed it with running water.
There's no problem on camera, sound or anything. But just the buttons.
Power and volume buttons no longer have "Clicking" feel, it's more of a "Squishing" feel.
In a better way to describe it: The buttons are functioning properly, but their click is odd, it's like pressing your finger inside a sponge, or a pie. anything but a regular click.
Is there any way to fix this? should i apply water specifically for that area or it may go inside?
Thanks in advance!
Try using a toothbrush and warm water.
Power off the phone then hold it on its side so the buttons are facing downwards, with gravity helping minimize the chances of excessive water ingress. It will be fiddly but push each button on its outer edge with a fingernail to depress it and use the toothbrush to try and 'rinse' around the button and the opening. Keep dipping the brush in warm water, hopefully it will dilute and remove the coffee mess.
Keep the phone on its edge and rest on a tissue for a while to dry.
Thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you, I've actually managed to do the trick using a wet cotton swab.
After powering off my phone, I began rubbing the swabs hard enough on both sides of the button until the cotton started to tear down.
I repeated the same process while buttons are pressed down, i tried pulling them a little out using my fingernails or a thin surgical forceps, but the buttons didn't seem to move at all.
However, I can feel a significant difference after hard rubbing them using cotton swabs.
Thank you for helping!
No problem mate. Glad you seem to be getting there. Your choice of a cotton bud was obviously better, it would keep the clean water in closer contact with the buttons. Maybe after a few more rinses they will be back to their normal feel.

Having trouble with Spigen case(s)

The trouble is that while the bottom and sides provides a nice grip, the top glass bevel edge protrudes over the side edge of the Spigen case.
Thus, unlike some other cases of my other phones, placing the phone face down (or even a mild drop from 1 inch height) causes the glass to touch hard surface.
Apart from full Otterbox, is there a rubber or silicone skin that would also provide a small lip OVER the glass face, not a complete 2nd screen protector or skin completely over the front glass ?
I have the Spigen Rugged Armor case. On the top and bottom of the phone, there is a lip so that if you lay the phone face down, it's being supported by those two lips. This is much like any case you'd find on a Galaxy S7 Edge.
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Liquid Crystal and both have a lip at the top and bottom that keeps the screen off the surface when you lay it screen down.
I have a Spigen Hybrid. Sides of the case allow me to use the phone's edges, but it has a lip at the top and bottom, that even with a glass protector on gives me enough clearance to place the phone on the table face down. And I do this all the time, as when you place the phone face down on a surface, the proximity sensor shuts down the screen until you lift the phone back up again.
I've always loved Spigen cases. But all of their V30 cases have reduced profiles on the front sides, I'm assuming due to the curved glass. Since the V30 doesn't have active edges (like the S8), I fail to see the benefit other than aesthetic. And of course there is less edge to help protect the screen in a fall. A lot of the V30 cases are designed this way, but not all of them. I'm using the Tech21 Evo Check, which has a raised lip all around the screen.
Spigen Rugged Armor case has lips to prevent screen from touching surfaces when placed face down. It is a really good case. Only drawback for me, which might be for cases in general for the V30, is the fact that any dust from your pocket will sit inside the lip at the bottom of the case.
This might just be mine but I've also found that there is a tiny slit at the bottom of the phone where dust and dirt can get into, its visible as well, makes the phone luck yucky at the bottom.
I'm at work now but will try and post a picture of what I mean later on.
