Users who own this case, anyone have a problem with the phone suddenly freezing, forcing you to cause a reboot to get it functional?
I had one on my old LG revolution and we think it was holding the phone to tight causing it to somehow lock up.
Until I figure this out, I'm using my ballistics case.
Anyone else having this issue?
I used my Trident for several weeks with no phone issues whatsoever. The only problem I had was that it was a little bit bulkier than I would prefer. Changed to the D30.

mine seemed to work well,but then started to freeze up on me, when I took the case off, it worked flawlessly,and works perfect with my ballistics, maybe I just got a bad case
I've had the aegis on for about 6 months with no problems with freezing or reboots. Works great. Drop the phone all the time and still looks and works like brand spanking new.

i seriously doubt its the case, if you really think its the case, send it to me and let me try it out and see if the same thing happens when i put my phone in it. I can almost guarantee you that its a problem of some sort with the device itself.

I have not had any issues since I've changed my case, thanks for the offer though
The only thing that bothered me was getting it on the phone, other than that I love it.
I've had no issues either. Blaming a case is silly IMO, get the Reiko or Ballistic if anything

No issues here. Have had the case for about 4 months and no problems. Loving the case.
I've had the Trident for 6 months. It's definitely bulky, but I'm the kind of person who drops my phone way too often, and the case has absolutely and completely protected it. Someone even spilled a large hot chocolate onto it, and after drying it, washing all the non-electronic stuff, and ricing the phone and battery, it was like new. That was months ago, and I've had zero issues.
And definitely no problems with freezing. Unless you're doing some serious overclocking, there's no way your case should be locking up your phone.
Holster for this case
Does anybody know of a holster that can hold this phone with the Trident Aegis Case. I need it for my job.
Been business mine for weeks now, no problems whatsoever. Maybe your problems are just a coincidence?

anyone tried this case? theres at least one other thats similar (looks exactly the same http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000989&products_id=30835). looked up some videos on youtube and looks like its fitting kinda loose, like theres a gap between top of case and phone.
Weak signal
I had one on a htc ppc a long time ago and the metal case kind of made my signal weak, but definetly a stong case.
I have one and it works great. The gap between the case and the phone is actually the padding that acts as a shock absorber. I would recommended a Monaco case eBay, it's the same thing check it out.
Thanks for the info people.
Another question, I keep my phone in my pocket all the time. Does the latch or hinges ever get colaught on anything? Looks like it could. That would definitely be a downer.

Makes sense. I was about to say putting metal around your phone would probably make it damage more easily...
The latch doesn't get caught on clothing. Not unless your wearing one of those christmas sweaters with the big knit lol.

To sum it up they didn't like how it looked so it got a bad review. Also they expected super thin mental to not bend. Can anybody confirm lower signal quality?

got the case yesterday (monaco, black). i haven't noticed any signal loss at all. phone heats up a little faster but i was kinda expecting it.
overall i really love this case. it does add some bulk to the phone but i don't mind at all. kinda feels like it beefs it up some.
Glad you decided to pull the trigger on the case. It's not as bad as these guys make it out to be, is it? Enjoy!
I pulled the trigger one of these when I saw this thread. I like the look and feel of it, but it does have some problems. The main problem I have with it is that it somehow interferes with the antennas in the phone and it absolutely kills me reception/signal strength. I don't have good reception in the building I work in......2 bars is the standard. If I leave my phone inside this case, it drops to 0-1 bars. Within a second of removing it from the case, it goes back up to 2 bars. It doesn't seem to interfere with a WiFi signal, though.
The other thing I don't like is that the latch is fairly easy to open.
With that said, the same day I got it my 2 y/o was playing one of her games the phone and she dropped it onto the concrete The case did its job. However, the impact did cause the door to swing open, but nothing happened to my phone.
I'm not sure if I want to keep it or not. With the slow data services I've been getting since the end of last year, I don't want anything that's going to slow down my phone even more.
Lol... Metal cases on cellphones... Might look cool but not the brightest idea ever, lol
I've owned my Galaxy SIII for almost three months now and it probably has the most defects out of any phone I've ever owned. The hardware buttons are loose, the back cover doesn't stay down on all the corners, and the back cover came with hairline cracks already on it. However, the final thing that really made me consider getting a replacement is the fact that the back cover doesn't even hold the battery in all the time. When I set my phone down on a hard surface without being extra gentle, the phone turns off. I temporarily solved this by putting a folded up piece of paper under the battery cover to keep the battery in better, but I don't think this should be necessary for a $200 flagship phone. I'm already over the 30 day return period, but would these reasons qualify for me getting a replacement phone under warranty?
I have 0 defects. My phone costed 549
Anyways call sammy and send it in for warranty
Yea I'd get a new one I paid $649 for mine and its perfect no problems at all!

Lol this is still by far the best phone I've ever owned, but it doesn't make up for bad quality assurance on Samsung's part. I'm going to get this replaced and hope the next one I get still underclocks and accepts kernels as well as the one I have now.
Yeah man, get it replaced. You got a dud. No issues I haven't caused myself here.

Sorry for being blatantly sarcastic but loose buttons, cover not seating properly, battery falling out, and cracks? Obviously it was damaged. Before you got it. Pretty sure I'd return a TV with a cracked screen right away before stating it was the worst build quality of any TV ever due to dead pixels and screen flickers and the picture going wonky. I mean, come on man lol. Those defects absolutely would have qualified.. had you reported it right away.

I agree with the group consensus; is there any reason you're reluctant to bring it back? Do you feel guilty about dropping it or something? If not you should be on your way to the store and hope the phone gods have mercy on you since the 30 day return period is over.

Since you're pass the warranty buy a new back cover or a case like an Otter commuter, it will keep the battery and button in place...btw still dont get why you didn't exchange it if it came with a cracked back. Lets see pictures of all these defects!
Wow, I did a COMPETE work over on my phone when I was getting it, checked EVERYTHING, the sales rep was getting a little agitated, but I ask her, if she were spending $500+ on a phone wouldn't you check everything? She shut her pie hole quick, and had her get another one once. Oh well.
Unlike some of you, I actually have enough hand-eye coordination skills to keep my phone in my hand. Cases are bulky and for the clumsy. I am still under the one year warranty and the hairline cracks are only visible from one specific angle. They're really not bad defects, but they just add up and get annoying. I'm only asking if this is worth getting my phone replaced because I don't want to restore to stock for no reason.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
....... again..... if it had these defects.... and they've "added up" to become annoying.... why exactly did you decide to wait 3 months to try to do anything about it?
And if you think that cases are "bulky and for the clumsy"... then the only cases you must see anywhere are OtterBox Defenders and such. Did you ever hear of TPU? next to no bulk added to the phone (about as thick as a DVD... roughly), and gives the phone a bit nicer feel in the hand. Plus makes it a LOT less slippery than with no case at all. I've never dropped a phone either, but i'm not the type that's willing to risk the off chance that something DOES happen that a little bit nicer grip could have prevented.
The only "issue" (if you can even call it that) that i have with my phone that you are also experiencing is the loose volume/power button... which i'm pretty sure EVERYONE is experiencing. They aren't screwed into the phone in any way. They are slotted in, as they are for just about every phone. Yes, they're slightly loose, but it's not like they're ever going to just up and fall out of the phone.
At this point i'm tempted to ask if the hairline cracks you speak of are actual cracks or if you're just seeing the brushed finish of the back of the phone (assuming you have the Pebble Blue)
Still... why did you wait 3 months? Especially with the battery issue and such. I can toss my phone onto my bed, cover or no cover, and it doesn't shut off cause the battery popped out of place.
I've worked in the wireless industry for over 10 years I've yet to see anyone keep a phone out of the box with parts literally falling off and out of the phone. Hell I've never seen that at all for that matter. I can guarantee you've dropped that phone and I doubt that stuff happened out of the box. You may be in the on year warranty but if it has that sort of physical damage good luck getting it replaced.

I have the same case and have no problems. I doubt it will be bad in the long run considering Samsung's official case has magnets for the wake lock feature.
Don't sweat it. It should only cause temporary interference but nothing harmful in the long run.
Sent from my SM-P600 using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I'm using the MoKo slim-fit case and I haven't had a single problem and tested it and ZERO interference while flipping the cover all the way around and using the S-Pen. No issues drawing and no random screen on or offs. I had it a week tomorrow and I don't think I've had less then 4 hours of screen time everyday so I think I should have noticed something by now.
Also I know I've had no random screen on offs because 1 day I unplugged it and took it with me but didn't use it all till I got home, it was in my backpack all day, and after 9 hours when i opened it up it was still at 100% battery before going to 99% after a few minutes.
The issue you would have is if a case had magnets that are too strong then you would get interference and you may want to try a different case.
Has removing the magnetic case resolved the multi-touch issue for anyone? I've been using the poetic slim line case, and since removing it I have not seen any of the multi-touch issues. Wanted to see if this was the case for anyone else...

Not sure about that particular case, but I've noticed that pressure on certain points of the edge of the device seems to affect the touchscreen. I had tried to use a tablet mount in my car, but when the tablet is in the mount, a portion of the touchscreen stops responding. It has to be due to pressure on the edge of the device because as soon as I unclamp it from the mount it starts working normally again. So I can totally see how a case might be putting pressure on part of the device and affecting the touchscreen.
Honestly, the N7 2013 is just too thin and not rigid enough. I can't even put it in my pocket, as was my goal when I bought it, because it was causing it to warp.

Not having any issues with multitouch here. I'm running cleanrom and elementalx kernel on 4.4.2. Someone mentioned in the thread that it might be related to pressure points on the device and I'm inclined to agree.
You might also want to take a look at this thread.
Screen protectors can be a cause of touch problems. I got a package of the official screen protectors at the time I bought my device. It took me 2 weeks to figure out the protector was the cause , after I began to question it I found out the thing was just too thick.

Now that is not something I disagree with. My multitouch issues actually got better after I applied my official screen protector. Went away completely after upgrade to 4.4.2, even with my magnetic smart case.
until i got a case, i thought my N7 doesn't suffer from touch problems. but apparently the case degraded grounding and my tochscreen got partly unresponsive. holding the tab in both hands, there weren't any issues at all. so yes, cases can worsen touchscreen issues.
but luckily the ts-10 patch from sfhub's thread solved the tochscreen issues permanently. even with a case everything works flawlessly.

Maybe it would be better worded "that is something I disagree with", or, "that is not something I agree with",??because it seems you are of the mindset that the protector does not negatively affect you touchscreen experience. I realize your experience can be the direct opposite of mine, which in my thinking does not negate either's experience.

I realize my grammar mistake. Oops. Yes, in my own personal experiences, I have never had a bad experience with screen protectors negatively affecting my touchscreen. The type I have used, matte, yes that affected the viewing experience. But in my experience, having that very minimal slight drag has helped with typing, drop and drag, selecting items etc. I have since switched to clear protectors (never the orange peel type, yuck) and rather glad I did. I am very much about resale value on all my devices from opening the box. No device ever gets used without a case and protector. Being able to sell as used in mint condition when I upgrade my devices 2-4 times a year is a major way to reclaim that money. Plus I dont like the slippery soap feel of naked screens. I did not mean to come off as negating your experience. I apologize if it did.
I just love the community here anywhere else that would have been the start of a flame war. But the folks here actually take the time to try to clear things up like adults. Thumbs up to you all.?

I used to have a magnetic Moko slim case on my N7 and it would constantly suffer from random shutdowns / battery drain / incorrect readings (at least once a week) but ever since removing it, my N7 has become rock solid once again. I was even contemplating an RMA before that since it became so irritating every time I was using it with sufficient battery life and it would just shut off on me. I'm thinking the particularly strong magnetic field was somehow interfering with the battery controller on the device.

You may have an older version. I know moko went through two, one didn't trigger the magnet on or off well but would sometimes trigger screen off from the back.
I've got the same case, v2, no noticeable privileges but I'm using ts20 for this nexus.
I was having ghost screen touches, so decided to remove my poetic slimline case. That solved my touch screen issues.

Thanks folks. I did not drop it. I think it may be the case being too tight especially when I try to take it out.
I called Samsung and they would look at it and do diaognostics for free. The spokes person said
they may be able to replace the bezel for about $70 but I don't think they would actually do that. I'm sure their technician
will recommend replacing the screen, even though the screen it is not broken, cause it is all tightly glued together. Thats over $200.
I think it is kind of a bait and switch. Second. I don't want them to do dianositics. I just want them to fix the part. But they refuse to fix anything
without doing diagnositics. Go figure. Btw, showed it to a samsung sales person at best buy and low and behold he had the same crack and
the same case! It is called tech21 impactology. I bought it the first day I got the N3...
EDIT: Anyways. I don't know for sure what really happened, even if someone with the same case had the same problem. Correlation is not the same as causal but it makes you wonder.
EDIT: My sympathies @willham
I have the same cracked in the same exact spot! But I have a few cases, so I don't know which one could have caused it. I have never dropped my phone since I bought it back in October.

I have the exact same crack in the exact same location. Must be a place of high stress. Not overally worried, but sucks cause otherwise mine is in mint condition. And I have dropped it a few times though, sitting on the toliet to the floor, off the couch, off the bed etc. No major drops though. I have the supcase unicorn beetle case on it since I've owned it.
