Anyone have any tips on removing the phone from the case safely? I feel like I'm going to launch it across the room when I finally get it to pop out.

Pop from top right corner then top left corner, then pull up
Lol. I hear you. I just squeeze gently on the corners applying just enough force to pop it out slowly. But every time I worry I'm going to shatter the screen. ?
I made this post 30 minutes after getting the phone. Since then I figured out that if you pull the top left corner first then the top right it's extremely easy and nothing feels like it's going to break.

Hi guys,
My TF101 sits a bit loose in the dock, and can be nudged back and forth quite easily without causing any rotation of the actual hinge mechanism. The lock engages quite easily so the lock isnt the problem, the padded supports just seem a bit too 'open'. Anybody else have this issue, and/or does somebody know how to 'tighten' the grip on the tablet?
Thanks!

I have also have recently noticed this. It seems to be getting looser and looser. It's just seems like it does not sit as snuggly. I tried to squeeze it to see if I could tighten it but it made a pretty bad crack noise. I hope it doesn't continue to get worse.
had dock for about 3 weeks, still sitting solid, however theres got to be some kind of small gap because if not you wouldnt be able to slip the tablet into the dock. maybe try something creative and put something inthere to have it tighter if u want.
Make sure the "switch" is all the way to the right, each of the connection points causes it to move half way. Ive found if its only half way engaged it does feel quite loose, but still recongnizes the dock as being connected.
so make sure you push the tablet in as far as it will go, there shouldnt be any gap between the bottom of the tablet and the U peice in the dock.
Mine is still solid. I wish it was a bit loose so I can have a leather coat sticking on the back of the tablet.

So true. Mine was loose too & I thought it was broken. Then I realized the switch was in the middle, not all the way locked in. I pressed the tablet down & it click right into place.
I've made sure that my dock was fully docked but I have noticed that due to the design...(the pulling up of the tablet during opening and thereby putting pressure on one side of the clamshell holder) it starts it to separate a little...and it gets looser over time. You can see this when you look at the hinge from the side...the "split line" of the two parts is not parallel....you can squeeze the clamshell with your fingers and get the split to close up...but it's definitely getting looser.
I noticed that there were two little star wrench screws (I think that they are) at the base of the clamshell hinge...I'll see if tightening them up changes anything.

+1 to the above. I thought the same. You have to give it a reasonably forceful push in and the lock should then be almost all the way to the right. Much more snuggly fit now.

I got my dock in today and the manual is very vague on how to connect it besides snap on , until it clicks.
Does the (lock button) on the dock itself have to be in an unlocked position or locked (far right), than slide the screen in? for it to connect?
Im having a problem locking it in place. Im connecting it the way the booklet shows in the picture (unlocked button position) than align the tablet, slide in.. until it clicks. But it doesn't connect.. its bending the tablet frame opening on the bottom.
Sorry for the dumb question, its not exactly easy to dock like the commercial. I was able to bend the bottom connector on the tablet with a knife to get it straight again.

The lock button should be pushed all the way to the left in the unlock position before you attempt to dock the tablet. Once it is all the way to the left, align the tablet, holding the sides, press down until you hear the initial click. From there I usually have to push down on the top left and top right so that the lock switch moves all the way to the right, and you'll hear another click.

thanks for the help.. it fits perfectly now..
Wondering if mine is popping out or if that is normal?
Bottom is flush but top is not, it protrudes a bit. Just noticed it, hoping it's made like that. lol.
Mine is the same all the way around.
they're all like that..my inc was like that too....which sucks because tiny specs of dust get int here and make her look dirty

And my ex-bf told me you're not supposed to look dirty, you're just supposed to act dirty!
So... seems like you guys are saying two different things... it doesn't feel like there's any give so I suppose it's always been like this and I never noticed it. But if I hold it horizontally and look at it sideways I do see that the top of the phone bezel slants a bit and the bottom doesn't. So I suppose it is normal.
Hello all, I noticed earlier today that when I took my Flyer out my backpack(I keep it in a case) that there was a noticeable dark spot under the screen. It's not as noticeable when turned on, but it's pretty apparent when the screen is off.
I have no idea how it got there, the Flyer itself is still 100% functional. Any thoughts on what is the cause of it and any ways of fixing it without replacing the screen?
Thanks

This has happened to mine, it will clear up in a few hours. If you apply a little bit of pressure to the outside of the screen area it will help it along, but like I said, it can take a few hours.
No worries, there will be no lasting damage.
I think some people have gently used a suction cup on the screen to fix this. It seems to happen if something has been pressing the screen.

Quite correct on both counts. Apply the suction cup just outside the "blob" on the good part of the screen an proceed inwards on the blog. A strong non-residue sticky tape will also work if pulled away from the screen it will have the same effect, and it can then can be removed in a peeling motion.

Sorry for the stupid question, but would I would have gain access to the screen by removing the case in order to do that?
@Brutal-Force
That's good to hear. I left it sitting over night, but it's still there. How long did you let your sits?
No, you apply either directly to the screen.
You want to apply the suction cup approximately where the blobs are, proceeding around the blob as indicated it it doesn't disappear with the first application.
Oh I see, thanks very much globatron for breaking it down. I'll try that later today after I go out and get some cups.
Edit. That fixed it. I couldn't find any suction cups, but I used some sticky mount hooks and those did the trick just fine. Thanks for the help guys.
Something like this happened to me the other day and I just wanted to put some input on how to fix it, in case if someone needs more information. I used a GPS suction cup stand. I stuck it on to the screen and with the lever pulled so that it was suctioned to the screen. Without releasing the suction lever, I used my fingernails to peel off the suction from the screen and the screen was fixed. I had to do it a few times before it got back to normal.
How to fix spot on HTC Flyer screen
I also had a spot like yours. I did some research and had an easy answer.
Stick it in the freezer for 10mins. Worked for me.
I just noticed the glass screen of my Atrix a not equally put under the bezel, the left hand side is a bit higher (not higher than the bezel but almost) while the right hand side is under the bezel like it should be. I can easily feel this using my hand touching the screen edge or use a paper and put it in the middle of the screen then move it around and while it cannot move out from the right hand side, it can slip out on the left hand side. So is this normal? If not then it should be considered a hardware defect?
My phone is still in the returnable period (just a few days left) so I want to confirm this urgently!
Many thanks!

Not normal. Mine is even all the way round. I would get a replacement if it were me. Also, if you get a replacement from a store, inspect it before you leave with it.
Dear all,
I am here to just warn you of who ever owns a roxfit case, for those who have not stick it on to their phone you might want to reconsider before doing so. And for those who have it on already you might want to reconsider as well.
I bought this case like a month ago and used it for a month. Yes it is a good case "full protection" but when i tried to take it off today i realized the following:
1- it is a PAIN in the ____ to take it off, I am not even kidding. You might think why would you want to take it off? cause one day you want to clean up the dust, take out the sim card, or maybe switch case. I nearly had to break the top left corner, that little thin strand infront of the power button, and find something to stick into the top right.
Yes, i know it might not be the right way to take it off, but I have done some research and it seems like no one knows what is the "proper way" to take it off.
ANYWAY to get to the worst part
2- you know the inside of the case it has the black rectangle thingy with white words on it saying "roxfit?" Well, when i took off the case, i realized a bunch of little tiny black/grey dots on the back of my phone. No, I cannot rub it off, and i also tried erasing it off (which is not a good idea, cause it does rub off the anti-coating and causes it to look shiny which was described in another thread)
I know its just the back cover, but still...
Not trying to complain or anything, just keep your eyes open when choosing your case

I've have 2 of their products for my S, I have the hard shell, which I broke trying to take it off, those little this bits near the switches are a pain and a weak spot. This case had a thin felt patch inside to stop it rubbing the back of my S.
I also have the leather flip over case , i've had to stop using this because unlike the hard shell there is no felt patch inside to stop it rubbing , now I have marks on the back of my phone.
For the money I paid for these items, you'd think a bit more thought would go into the design...
I know, matte coating is not a cool thing, it just feels nice.
i dont know about your XPS but on mine the front bottom part where it says "xperia" that part is also glossy shiny, obviously that part's anti coating is rubbing off just by putting in my pockets.
this is what i am planning to do instead of making the same mistakes again.
the best thing to do is to get the zagg full body kit and protect the [ top, bottom, and the "xperia part" on the front ] and then get a case that only covers the sides and the back.
I had a roxfit and never had such problems.

Thanks for the warning. In the case thread there was someone saying something about the shell feeling loose. (maybe it was you, dont remember).
I guess thats what you get with a hard shell that covers the phone's back and sides completely unless it was made of two parts or from soft material like TPU. I thought of buying this on long time ago because none of the TPU cases had a good fitt (and the buttons still usable).
I never did buy this one, but thougt about it since it's for me the best next to my TPU preference. I'm using a (little reshaped with hot water) 'Nillkin' TPU case at the moment. I also have a 'Gimmick Five' hard case, but i don't like the edges (like almost all hard cases) , its not smooth when putting it in and getting it out of my pocket for a phone with this size. I also do't think those cases offer much protection.
If you're planning on buying a ZAGG invisibleShield read this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27896421&postcount=6
and remember this skin is only for scratches not fall damage duh (cases/covers/shells might help a little with low height falls)

Can you give us some more info? how is the fit? is it easy to take out? do you have any little scratches of the coating on the edges?
@LitoNi The case is a little flexible, maybe it has also to do with how someone tries to pull of the case?
I took my case many times off. Yeah it's not easy, that's for sure but I can't confirm your other complaints.
My phone slipped once out of my hand and landed on hard ground. I just have a few scratches on the top right corner and bottom left corner.
without the case the damage would have been probably much worse.
The case also was damaged in the bottom.
Currently I'm waiting for my nillkin flip leather case. Hope it will protect the front as well now.
Edit: that is now a little embarrassing. I actually have a krusell case, but the should be the same
I have the roxfit hard shell as well. It fits perfectly and doesn't feel loose at all. As for taking it off, well yeah it's a snug fit, so taking it off requires a bit of fiddling. But it is definitely not impossible to take it off without breaking it. Then again you shouldn't have to take it off daily, so for me it's not a problem.I usually just push the bottom corners of the case down, then you can stick your nail through the hole on the bottom and just push the phone out completely. Not that hard to do.
Also mine does not leave any traces on the phone. I'm pretty happy with this case.

i guess i was just the unlucky one with the stains.
anyway i changed the title so it wont be directly talking about roxfit, but cases in general
taking it out is slightly a pain in the ass... you need to flick it out from the powet button corner follow by volume side... one you flick it past both the 2 buttons, the rest is a breeze...
no there's no stain on the phone....
thanks

i start with the left side and bottom, then top side and last the right side. works everytime
Let me add that there is also a slider shell case: Incipio EDGE Hard Shell Slider Case
But please talk about this on the Xperia S Case show thread and let this thread be only for the Roxfit and Krusell shells :fingers-crossed:
It has done exactly the same to my phone....It's a joke!!!!!
