well there is something I want to show you guys that has been bothering me for a while now, I didn't want to share it before cuz I find it rather ridiculous since I am the kind of person who notice things other people usually don't. and i'ts most likely my OCD just kicking in.
there is a very slight imperfection near the headphone jack where the glass meets the metal, it seems like a small bend, I'm not sure. here is a video of it.
https://youtu.be/A7dDnzRKFOs
does anyone has experience with anything similar ?.
could it be just the painting process? I can see that some people online are experiencing some paint pealing off. isn't the aluminum andonized though. whats funny is that there are some micro scratches on the device here and there but they don't seem to bother me as much as this. my friends can barely notice it.

I guess you don't use a case? I use bulky OtterBox cases and I couldn't see the issue you're referring to even if I tried.

my phone has been in a case since day 1. in spiden neo hybird. the thing is that you can only see it under certain light. I believe it came from the factory this way. it looks like it's machined this way or something.
it seems that this slight imperfection is present on all corners near those white bands but not on all S9 plus colors though. only on the shinny variant liliac purple and gray. the black doesn't seem to have it. mine has this corner worst than the others but I can see all the corners are suffering slightly from this looking at the phone directly with overhead light.
I even watched a disassembly video where the guy removed the glass back of the phone and I can see how it's has a bend near the white line in the corner. I think it's part of the manufacturing process of the aluminum andonizing of these colors. since I think the aluminum frame is made from a single block. since unlike other phone that use a plastic buffer between the metal and glass there is no way to hide the machining imperfections which is expected I guess.
Had this on my s8 also silver model.
Did you peel the plastic protective strip off? (Hint: you didn't, I can see it).

So after looking and looking, I finally decided to drop the $59 (shipping from their site is free) and get the Gumdrop skin case. I found that I was leaving my tablet at home all the time because I was worried about dropping it, and by the time someone makes one to satisfy my needs to work with the dock too, I'd be looking for another tablet.
So I picked up the military one, in the green from their website. I figured if I didn't like it, I can easily return it.
Item showed up today, they ship Fedex Ground if anyone is wondering, and I ordered it last Thursday. The packaging it comes in is pretty damned sturdy. I'm usually anal about protecting anything I buy, and the packaging it came in was probably a bit overboard.
Getting it pulled apart to get the printed insert out of the actual case was impressive in its own. NOTHING is going to hurt your tablet in this case, other than if you stepped in the middle of it.
Anyways, I wanted to get this thread started, so I can answer any questions folks have about this case. I just got it a few hours ago, and will do a short review this weekend, and a longer term review after a month or so. I'll get you some pictures too of all the parts and how it goes together.
A few initial notes.
1. This thing is THICK.
2. When I opened it, my first thought was, "Get rid of the integrated screen protector". I decided to pull it out, then put it on top of my tablet to see if you can use the touch screen with it on there (it is a "hard" screen protector). The screen picks up your movements PERFECT with the screen protector in place.
3. All cutouts are perfect.
4. The entire device is covered
5. The thick silicone rubber exterior has a hard plastic skeleton that you snap on over your tablet. Then you stretch the exterior over that.
6. The screen cover has a hard plastic frame that snaps into the skeleton, from the INSIDE.
There is no slack, no wiggling, and once you get it in place and push all of the locking tabs from the exterior through the skeleton, it looks like your tablet was BUILT this way. Amazing.
My only cons so far...
1. I wish the screen cover snapped in from the outside. Not that I'll ever probably take it off, but it would be nice to have the option.
2. No kickstand. With the plastic skeleton, I see no reason they couldn't have integrated a kickstand like the Incipio cases.
I am still holding out hopes for someone to make something like this that leaves a option to connect your dock. A detachable cover at the bottom and a matching case for the dock would fix it all.
Also, I'm kind of surprised no one has a dock to tablet extension cable yet. That would actually make this really nice. With a kickstand.
LOL
Okay, I'll get more info soon, get me your questions if you have any folks.

Amazon has them - http://www.amzn.com/dp/B005FVDVIW
And the manu page - http://www.gumdropcases.com/tablet-cases.html
I can't really tell the difference between the military and regular ones - I'm eyeing up that red/black model. Thanks for the review.
If they made this case that fit both the TF and dock, i would buy it
Is there any kind of buffer between the hard plasktic screen protector and the screen? My experience with hard plastic screen protectors is that sometimes small objects or dirt gets caught between the screen protector and screen. With use this trapped dirt starts to scratch the screen. You might also consider getting a stick-on screen protector as well.
I saw a review where there was a question about how this case might make the device retain heat. Do you notice any overheating?
i have the same case and think it is build like a tank and everything the OP says it is. i have not noticed any overheating at all. a lot of people were saying how ugly it is, i think it is really cool looking in person, i have the same OD green military version

My priorities for selection was protection, functionality & "looks". I doubt I'll invest in the keyboard/dock; I'm essentially wanting a larger smart phone, LOL
My only nit with it...is the images make the green look more pastelly versus a darker tone...which IMO, is more in line with a "military" green. But I guess the tone makes it a bit more fashionable. I can live with it.
Great lil review. Thank you for reaffirming my choice.
When i look along the top and bottom edge i swear it looks like its slightly bowed in the center. Is this just mine?? The only issue i have is gps, otherwise no issues

I've noticed the same thing with my TFP a few days ago. I can feel the curvature when my hand is on the back of the device.
Anyone else notice this?
I thinkbwith the back being thin aluminum, it can be bended easily or Joe out if too much pressure applied. Some nights already I've fell asleep n rolled over on top of the prime..lol. n I'm 6'4-6'5 240lbs...so this was a concern of mines also over the long run. Its so thin though n pretty durable. During the first week or so my daughter slammed a thick heavy Comcast cable remote onto the screen n it did nothing to it. Scared me for a moment...lol. didn't even scratch it. Loving this gorilla glass

It's feel pretty durable, but I wonder if the thing bending over time will have any problems (or maybe the thing bends to a certain degree and stops?). If I look at it from a profile view (landscape), I can see the curvature of the thing...it looks like it's bowed.
Just like the OP, everything else works well besides the GPS.

Yes it'll bend only as far as the glass will since they attached to each other. Too much n the glass will either snap or case bent so much that glass pops out of the flush seams it has with metal backing.

Mine has a convex curve as well. Hard to give Asus engineers too much credit in light of the wifi and gps issues - but the curve could have been intentional as it actually makes the face of the prime more durable and impact resistant since it curves out toward you. Some of the Impact on the glass will be absorbed in compression instead of a bending load - making it less susceptible to breaking.
I found this review of the Nilkin case for the Xperia P helpful, and wanted to give back by posting a review of my own. Had been pretty keen on the Nilkin case myself, but after reading the reports of the corners cracking, I went looking for another quality option and ended up with a Rock Quicksand. This is a "dark grey" model I bought from Casesss.com.
Note the white specks that appear on the case are bits of dust/fluff that aren't part of the case surface - sorry for overlooking these but they didn't look that visible while taking the pics, and it'd be too much of a pain setting up my tripod and lighting again to redo them nicely with my crappy camera. Also note the pics convey a sort of "white speckliness" overall which is not how it looks in person - IMO, the case looks better than it appears in the pics.
First, the positives:
- The material is really nice. It looks and feels classier than silicone or textured plastic.
- With moist/sweaty hands, the case provides more grip than the smooth metal surfaces of the phone.
- It allows the phone to sit more securely on your lap or a nearby surface (e.g. train/bus seat) with less fear of it sliding off and onto the floor.
- The cutouts are accurate, and there's plenty of clearance left around the headphone jack.
And the cons/caveats:
- With dry fingers, the material is actually less grippy than the phone's smooth metal surfaces.
- Some reviews of Rock Quicksand cases for other phones suggested the material doesn't grip pocket liners - I disagree. It's not a problem with big/loose pockets on cotton pants, but in more constricted front jeans pockets, it will tend to pull out the pocket liner when removing the phone. Still, it's not as bad as silicone in this respect, and doesn't retain nearly as much fluff/dust as silicone.
- The cutout for the transparent bar is much smaller than one on the Nilkin case. This probably increases the case's strength but doesn't look as cool.
- The buttons are a bit harder to press than without the case, but this seems unavoidable - the cutouts appear as non-intrusive as is possible for this style of case.
Overall, I'm very happy with the case for the purpose of providing extra grip in the situations I most need it and providing some protection, without making the phone look ugly. Would be happy to answer any questions in case I missed anything.
I am also using this product. Very good case.

can one get it online?
The thin band over the camera volume keys power sim speaker.. tend to brake soon... that's the only thing i don't like... and its very often due to the case's rigid body..
Else i highly recommend it... I am currently using an Soft Silicon-Jelly Case.. for an local manufacture..

Screenies please?
Following up with something I just observed today: at the bottom right corner, the "sand" material has rubbed off, leaving a shiny surface. I've been using the case for about a month and I'm not sure when this occurred. That corner isn't exposed to repeated friction against anything, so it seems as though a one-off contact with something probably caused it.

I use this case and this appears to be a problem that arises over time. I keep my phone in my pocket and over two months the edges have lost a lot of sand coating. It doesn't affect the usability of the case but can look pretty ugly. I can't take a photo now but will post one soon.
Another notable thing about this case is that if you have a creaky bottom cap from removing the cap too much, this case will hold the cap securely in place and stop the creaking.
EDIT: Here are some photos of the quicksand peeling. The lighting isn't great but you can see it clearly enough.

uhm very bad....did you go tu the beach or something???
I used to use this case and yes, it's beautiful at first but after a long time of using, it become ugly and i must change another one =.=
i wish i can find one of those in Egypt ,
I also got one of this case but mine is purple and the rubber of some place on the casing have lost but between it's a nice case I'm happy with it.
After just over three months use, I can report the "sand" has now rubbed off the rear corner adjacent to the one I pictured on the previous page (that one hasn't gotten any worse since the picture was taken). The three other front corners also show the same sort of wear, but smaller. The edges and larger surfaces show no signs of wear.
In my case, it seems most likely the wear is being caused simply by the phone rubbing against the pocket liner when in my jeans/jacket pocket, so it's not a very durable surface. With just the corners worn, mine still looks classier overall than other cases and I'd just as soon choose it again over the alternatives, but I can't recommend it to those whose phones are treated less softly than mine, as it may end up looking like crap in a short period.
Very usefull case it is..:good: protects the device very well....
I have a quicksand case for my Xperia Sola. I just got it a few months back and so far I'm quite happy with it. The overall build quality seems to be very robust. However on two corners the rubber starts to come off, but that doesn't really bother me as long my phone is save
i haven't use case for a yeah and now my XP look like old phone :cyclops:

The 920 feels really slippery to be. I'm sure I'll drop it at some point when using it one-handed.
I don't want a big protective case, but just something to add texture to the back of the phone.
Is there some kind of texturized skin I could stick on? (Ideally with no residue if I remove it)
Or some other rubber that would stick on the back?
Or even a really thin silicon case?
I can't be the only one with this problem, has anyone else noticed this and found a good solution?

I agree that the phone is slippery ... and I started by using a gel case ... which worked, and it had knobby grips on the edges of the case -- and that worked very well to stop dropping the phone (I did that several times before I put the case on it).
Then I tried a phone with the Nokia CC-1043 case ... but that also was too slippery for me. I tried some egrip (they are non sticky things that will "stick" to most any surface ... and if you want something on the back of the phone -- there are pads that are 1" by 2" (about) that would work. However, for me, I wanted something on the edges -- so that I could get it out on the vertical holster that I use. The egrips on the edges did not stay formed along the curve of the case ... so I modified the CC-1043 with some grooves on the edges -- which really works great!
I was going to post some pictures, but I don't have access to a web site for the insertion ... If you send me a private message, I can send you the pictures ...
The grooves were made using a bandsaw with a block of wood taking the place of the phone to provide stability to the case as it was cut ... and there was a block of wood to stop how far into the blade that the case would go, and resulted in a cut that is about 1/2 mm deep ... it provides enough grip to grab the phone out of the case and while holding it -- most of what my hand / fingers are touching are the edges of the phone ...
It depends on which color you have. The blue and red are not as slippery. But I have Ghost armor on mine and it gives it a slightly tacky feel in addition to protecting it from scratches. Mine is red.
I have the black one (matte finish).
Is this the egrips you mentioned? http://www.egrips.com/
It sounds like that might be too much grip. I don't want to have trouble getting the phone into/out of my pocket. I just want more grip so that I don't constantly feel like it's going to fly out of my hand.
I looked at the case you mentioned here and it sounds good: http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-02733P4-CC-1043-Cover-Lumia/dp/B009T8YXCA but having some texture built-in would be nice (as opposed to your DIY grooves).
So I looked at related products and found the following:
http://www.amazon.com/Worldshopping-Black-Matte-Quicksand-Accessories/dp/B00A1Z3U3S/ref=pd_sim_cps_7
http://www.amazon.com/JKase-Premium-Quality-Nokia-Streamline/dp/B00A1UPHYS/ref=pd_sim_cps_17 (the sides of this seem ideal)
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Series-Protective-Nokia-Lumia/dp/B009YLCFZY/ref=pd_sim_cps_3 (don't like the color)
http://www.amazon.com/NOKIA-LUMIA-HYBRID-RUBBERISED-COVER/dp/B009YB0P5G/ref=sr_1_1 (mentioned by a reviewer above)
Can anyone speak for those cases? Probably going to make a decision between those 5 in a day or so.
I had a case like the JKase ... and it is OK, but it adds some noticeable weight to the phone ... it is the one with knobby sides ... it has a very thin strip along the front-bottom of the case that is along the micro USB connector and the speakers ... it never was straight, but it also didn't seem to provide much function ... read other posts that said that they cut it off ...
Don't know about the other cases ...
The egrips link that you have are the ones that I tried ... I always use a case and never just in the pocket -- so I don't know if it would cause a problem ...
Like I said, I like the Nokia case after the modification ... before it, it was still at risk of being dropped ...

The cc-1043 cases is matte see my ebay sale!
Electrical tape to a thin plastic case.
Simple, thin, and adds a lot of grip. However, it can cause issues if you work in a very hot environment as the tape will goop and slip. Otherwise, I do this with almost all of my devices.
Add texture to slippery cell phone
To make your phone less slippery, you can add textured stickers to it. The kind that you would put on the bottom of the bathtub to prevent slips.
I bought some good ones at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. You can cut them into any shape you want. They were actually shaped like fish. I cut them into strips and put a few on the back of the phone and on the sides.
You can find them in many colors.
Amazon has a good selection.
Surprised nobody has mentioned Ghost Armor. It's perfect for what you want.
I bought their MatteArmor for the back of my Samsung Galaxy tablet and to provide a matte finish instead of it's slippery plastic.
Increased holdability (made up word lol) and maintains the look of the device because it's transparent and thin.
It's that good I paid to have it shipped from the USA to UK. Lifetime warranty, 30 day money-back guarantee
Here's a link to the Lumia range but they do literally any device.
Just bought silicone case from dx.com. Transparent, back side is matted. Not bad for this price, but flash working incorrect - fills all the frame because case scatters light
I'm a a sailing captain and watch people dropping their phones all the time, breaking glass and going overboard. I looked for a solution and couldn't find on that fit the bill as being easy to use, no installation, fits most phones and cases, so I invented one for me. People wanted one, so I patented it and just started production. Just search CellGrasp in google. You'll find me. Drop me a note and you can check it out at the site. Dropping cell phones is a real and growing problem. CellGrasp is a device that is a solution to the problem. Simple, easy, secure, better pics and vids instantly. Just for your information...
I'll be the guinea pig for this one, I'm always impressed with Spigen products so fingers crossed on this. Looks like it has much narrower borders and a neater notch cutout ?
Should arrive tomorrow, I'll post up my findings ?

Oh cool I've been waiting for this. Wasn't happy with the Oneplus glass tbh but I've used the spigen on my P20 pro before and it was just perfect for me. Hope this one performs as good.
Let us know how it is. Curious to know if it will work with cases since they claim it does. The TGSP I have now peels up with all of my cases.
Any news on this? I'm super curious....
So, super impressed. Absolutely no adhesion issues on the sides or anywhere else for that matter.
The borders are noticeably smaller than the Orzly protector I had previously.
I'm using this with the Spigen 'Liquid Air' case from Amazon so no issues with compatibility.
I had a couple of air bubbles to work out but this was easy enough.
Fingerprint scanner doesn't seem any less responsive.
The only minor thing I'd say is that I've noticed my phone is attracting more dust and lint than previously but not the end of the world.
Sorry about the poor pictures, my old Xiaomi Mi5 is showing its age.

I'd say no, if it does you are talking a fraction of a millimeter - virtually unnoticeable.
The Orzly one bugged me because how bulky it made the notch and ate into my status bar, not an issue now. Plus the fact it didn't stick at the sides ?

Well the protector has a couple of large tabs coming off the top and bottom so that you can line it up then they just peel off with the top film, they aren't great - found it difficult to see where I was landing on the notch but managed to get away with it ?
If you keep a case on then there isn't too much margin for error although I'd recommend heavily cleaning your case as the last time I did it with the case all sorts of crap got hoovered up by the protector ?

I can also confirm. This TGSP works very well. Full adhesion (even after refitting the glas because i had to remove dust). Bubbles also go away pretty easily.
I didn't notice the black border covering any screen at first. But now i notice maybe one pixel beeing cut off on the sides - barely noticable at all.
Thanks for testing! I bought a second one as backup - just in case.

No worries, I'm just happy to have something decent now. That Orzly one was so bad they refunded me and withdrew it from sale How you finding it for attracting dust? I'm constantly wiping mine around the edges.

I can also confirm. This TGSP works very well. Full adhesion (even after refitting the glas because i had to remove dust). Bubbles also go away pretty easily.
I didn't notice the black border covering any screen at first. But now i notice maybe one pixel beeing cut off on the sides - barely noticable at all.
Thanks for testing! I bought a second one as backup - just in case.

Question, does light bleed out the side with you? Literally just noticed it there - both sides you can peek under the black borders? Funky.

Yeah, same here. Although i only see it in one specific angle. The lip on my case kind of hides it a little.
My guess is, thats how all the SPs with a black border work - they are not really adhering to the border and are more or less giving the illusion of having a "full screen protection" because of said black border.
The lightbleed is only noticable when looking directly from the side - otherwise not noticable at all (even if pitch black).
The only negative point i see at the moment, is that dust accumulates in that space. Seems to be easily removable though....
Edit:
Regarding the dust: It seems kind of ok. I am getting some dust. But it's easily cleaned off.
I would almost say that it was the same with the preinstalled screen protector from OnePlus.
Edit No. 2:
Added some pictures. Sorry for the quality. Only have a ****ty webcam on my notebook.
Is it available in Spigen US online store? Searched for it but unable to find this one.
