Hey guys. My mom and I both bought Incipio Silicrylic cases for our respective phones. She has a Droid X and I have a Droid Charge. However, when she puts it on, her Home and Back buttons stop working. Taking the case off instantly rectifies the issue. This doesn't happen on my phone. Do any of you guys have any input about this?

No problems with my Silicrylic case. That is an odd problem though, I'd check to see if the Power or buttons on the side are being pushed in by the case which would cause the other buttons not to respond. Or it could be the lip is just getting in her way and is not pressing those buttons hard enough.
Nevermind, it was because I had ordered the one for the X2 and it was holding down the camera button. I feel dumb now

This looks very cool, a TPU case that doesn't cover the power button. That was the biggest reason I didn't like my tpu case that I had previously bought. Anyone have this on yet? Looks like it is OEM from HTC.

Good find. I just ordered two other types including the fusion so I'll have to wait and see how that one works out for me.

That website is awesome!
They look pretty nice but the cutout for the camera flash on the back looks too small. It might result in off-colored photos
I like that grey one a lot! TPU case with OEM quality? I think I'll get one.
Hmmm HTC Pedia has them for cheap!

i actually prefer the ones without the cut-outs. i keep it in my pocket all day, and the amount of dust and junk getting between the case & phone would be crazy with that case.
i got one of these and the buttons are pretty easy to find & push because they are built up on the outside of the tpu case.

I don't think two extra cut outs is going to make all that much difference as my currently one already has 7 holes in it. I hate the fact that my current one has the dock pins exposed so I going to try the HTC one out. Additionally, I find it hard using the covered camera button. The extra force required moves the camera enough sometimes to make a difference.
I ordered it from DayDeal and it should be at my house in a couple of days being we are both in CA.

With a cut-out the power button will be recessed so this might not be an issue. I'll report back after I get my HTC one and compare it to my Epik one.
I just got it in the mail and I love it..

Excellent find. I've been very disappointed with my T-Mobile silicone case. It's not nearly as heavy or rigid as the silicone case I had on my Vibrant, and attracts so much lint!
Just a heads up: NewEgg has the OEM HTC TPU case for $10.
Item search: HTC 70H00324-00M
I will probably pick this up, if others seem to be happy with it. It's a shame that I'll have to remove the case every time I want to use any docks (assuming we'll ever see charging pin docks besides this one).
I got the Case Mate Tough in the mail today.
It goes on very snug and feels sturdy so I was excited to use it.
BUT, something doesn't fit right, and the case presses the power button and the volumer rocker down as soon as you put it on.
By that I mean, the case completely holds down the volume button (usually volume up) and the power button as soon as you put the hard shell on. Making it effectively useless.
Disclaimer: I did by this case from an accessories dealer on Amazon (Wireless Everything, I think they were called) because it was a few bucks cheaper and free shipping. But it's the Case Mate Tough.
This might be a LTE/GSM/International problem, but Case Mate does not mentioned this issue anywhere on their site, so unless they made design changes for the LTE since this was produced, do not buy.
Obviously, will not work with extended battery either. (I tried, just for laughs)

I bought mine from thecellguru, and it fits on my GSM perfectly. It actually leaves a tiny bit of room on the top of the silicon, i thought thats the space for the lte phones?
Wish I could say that was true, but mine is totally unusable.
When you slip on the hard cover it holds the volume up button down completely, so it maxes out the phone volume and then keeps beeping (the volume change sound) because the button is being "pressed" over and over and over.
The power button either becomes pressed down completely or is behind the hard case and not able to be pressed. This depends on how you put it on. I tried several different ways.
I have the same problem with the volume and power buttons but this is with the GSM Nexus. What I did was cut a slit into the volume silicon and cut out power button silicon completely. I think I replace with otter box commuter because of floppy top and bottom silicon. Casemate really dropped the ball on this one. Everyone should go complain directly to them.

I just got mine in the mail today and it you're right about it not fitting properly. It fits but the I can't press the power button. The volume button is working half the time. Bummer.
Thanks for the heads up! I was ready to hit the order button earlier today but decided to check around for feedback.
I just received my case (EU GSM version) and the problem seems to be that the fit around the power button is way too tight when you add to outer hard case. Verified by adding some paper strips around the power button.
After this it started to behave normal.
I think a couple of quick cuts with an exacto knife when I get home from work should to the trick and make a permanent fix.
The rest of the case seems great.
Not saying that this should not have been perfect out of the box, but the problem seems minimal if one can spare a couple of DIY minutes
Might be a deal breaker if one is considering buying, but should be good news for those with problems or that have already ordered.
Check the review i wrote here http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-nexus-case-mate-tough-case-black (Reviews) and also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371724&page=5 post #43 .All these some time ago with a lot of people saying how good this case is.Its actually a crap and now i am using just the silicon part.
Ah by the way i have GSM version
I have the Case-mate Tough Case for my LTE Galaxy Nexus (with Extended Battery), and it does not fit properly.
If you contact Case-mate they will send you a new case redesigned.
They have redesigned the case because the prototype phone they were given was smaller then the current Nexus (and the LTE is larger too).
My Casemate Tough fits my GSM GNEX perfectly. The difference in dimensions to the LTE version is.53mm

Did you get the revised version? Did they fix the buttons? How is the fit?

I got my neo hybrid lumi case in the mail today ( I go the blue and grey) and wanted to do a quick review.
First off all let me say, that so far I haven't had any of the problems with the buttons some people have been talking about. The volume rocker is a bit sensitive, but I haven't had any problem with it changing on it's own. Also simply holding firm on the sides won't push my buttons either, I squeezed all around the edges and didn't have any problems.
This case looks awesome it is very sleek and doesn't add much bulk to the phone. The holes for ports are all cut smoothly and adequately. The port on the camera is the very slightest bit uneven but nothing anyone would probably notice unless they were really looking and definitely not anything that will effect the use of the camera or protection.
The TPU portion of this case is slightly different than I was expecting. It is a bit harder and less flexible than I expected. My biggest problem with the case is that the TPU is very slick. It offers very little if nothing at all in the way of grip.
As far as protection goes, I haven't dropped my case or done anything extreme, but the case seems to offer very decent protection especially considering how sleek it is. The back and corners are well protected and feel pretty confident that if I did drop it I wouldn't have any scratches or major damage on my phone. There is a nice lip around the front screen to give a buffer if it were to be set down on it's face. The case fits snug and I don' think would fall off if dropped.
Overall I am very happy with this case, I was hoping for a bit more grip, but I really can't complain considering how good it looks and the protection I'm getting
I had one of these for my iPhone 4 and the plastic shell snapped when I was taking it off.
How dangerous/sturdy is it on the GS3 version?

It is fairly rigid, but I have taken mine on and off a couple times and no problems so far. I have been leaving the hard plastic attached to the tpu part which doesn't require it to bend much though

Awesome. Went on perfect. The slightest bit of tack compared to glass. Barely visible at all
My screen protector doesn't fit in the least. It covers part of the front facing camera and yet there is ample space at the right of the home button. If you can imagine that, you'll understand just how off mine is. It goes on well but my cut outs are quite off.
I also have the button issues. I just got mine today. Throwing an email to them tonight.

Just got mine as well and it is beautiful but the buttons are super sensitive to the point it becomes quite annoying. I will be sending a small to sgp to see if they can do anything about it otherwise it's going back.

I got this case a few days ago and immediatley noticed the volume button sensitivity issue as soon as I installed it. The issue I experianced is that any time I put any pressure anywhere near the volume rocker, it would depress the button and raise/lower the volume. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times but no matter what I did the issue remained. Emailed SPG and they requested photos and or video of the problem. They also wanted to know which S3 varinat I had. Hopefully I just got a bad one because I think it is a nice case otherwise.

Yup that's exactly what happened to me. I was the one who 1st posted the issue and now after a couple of days I got use to the sesnsativity of the buttons and where not to squeeze but I will be contacting them I think that's way to much for me to let slide for such a high quality case. I still slip at times and it's just annoying have to hit the back button every time you press the power button for to long and getting the shut off option when you are in the middle of something.
why dont you guys remove the case and push outward on the inside of the volume rocked portion to stretch it out a little bit.
use something small to get right in there
yeah i have the same color!! I thought I broke the case cuz it got dissembled. Have no problem with it so far.

So can anyone genuinely recommend this case? Ive been in two minds about gettting it and from what Ive read elsewhere and here its had mixed reception, some people have no issues and love it others feel its just about bin worthy and recommend grabbing a cheap tpu one of ebay.

I've had mine for about two weeks now and haven't had too many issues with the volume sensitivity. Occasionally it happens after I've taken the case off and put it back on but then I just adjust the case and it doesn't happen anymore. I can squeeze both sides near the rocker and power button and they will not activate and when changing the volume the controls don't stick.
I did think the case was going to be a little thicker than it is and I doubt the plastic frame adds much more protection. This is one reason I'm debating buying another case with a little more protection (commuter/aegis/active type case).
I do like the looks of the case, which is one of the reasons I bought one instead of sticking with the Diztronic cases I have which are also pretty good.
So I received this case today (I live in Australia, postage takes forever). I have issues with the sensitivity of the buttons as they often stick. I've emailed Spigen about what they will do but I'll probably just take a razor or something to the inside buttons and wear them down a little.
On a positive note though, the packaging is amazing and the case feels like it is sturdier than my cheap tpu case from Ebay. It also looks great.
Anyone receive the replacement TPU case for the Slim Armor from Spigen? I just received mine and I'm disappointed in it - I actually prefer the original one which had a slight defect. The power button on the new one requires alot of push to initiate the screenlock/unlock. The original was too sensitive at first, but after breaking it in and making sure it was properly fitted it was actually quite nice.
Anyone receive theirs? If so, feedback?
I feel the same exact way. Old one after broken in was perfect!
I just sliced the plastic on the bottom side of each button so that it's only attached by 1 flap like the original TPU piece. I find that this makes the buttons much better. Honestly, with this mod, I wish I could combine the new power button with the old volume buttons. Even with the mod, the volume buttons take a bit too much force and don't have the same feedback like the original one does.
Glad im not the only one. I thought I had just gotten so used to the old one that this one felt terrible
they sent me an email yesterday and said mine would ship soon. if the replacement sucks too, i'll just return it to amazon and get something different....i might wind up doing that anyway. inexcusable for a $18 case to have buttons that are defective.
As some others have mentioned, The power button on some of the Tudia Cygen cases applies too much pressure to the power button. The result is a super sensitive button push, or (in my case) a boot loop caused by it holding down the button. I was going to send it back, but by the time I paid return shipping it wouldn't be worth it. I decided to see if I could make it work with a little modification. Worst case scenario, I just blew $12.
Well, I'm happy to report I have a simple fix for the issue. I used a heat gun (a lighter will work in a pinch) to warm up the polycarbonate shell, then I bent it slightly outward at the power button. The button feedback is GREAT now. I hope this helps anyone else experiencing the issue.
What i did is i took one of my DE razor blades and there is a small bump onside the case on the power button i simply cut away this bump and i get a nice click again
