TPU diztronic case review

Hello guys,
I ve been in the market for cases for my new galaxy nexus and got my hands on a couple diztronic ones and I posted the reviews on the correct forum however I couldn't leave my lovely s2 without one so I got one as well and reviewed it specially because I've seen people talking about it due its misalignment with some of the necessary hardware part. I made this video so you guys can check it and make your own decision ..
Pd.- I am in no way associated with Diztronic or any of its affiliates .Im just a phone junkie that started reviewing cases so people get a look before spending their money. Mods if I am breaking any rules please let me know
Enjoy and hope this helps

Had mine shipped from Amazon with free Prime, but it somehow managed to take 5 days. The case itself is great, I see the misalignment issue with the mic hole, but I haven't really had any problems with that so far. It definitely fits better than the primitive T989 case on eBay that was extremely popular.

good review dude. Does it not bother you that you have particles stuck under your screen protector? Man that would eat away at me until I fixed it.

thank you for the kind words guys
im going to be honest on the shipping..I got mine in like three days..Im in the US so that might be why it was faster.
it indeed feels sleek as well..not adding volume nor size is a plus for me.
Yes , i had that case from ebay...which is now resting inside my drawer lol
i HATE the particles..it doenst matter if im in a surgeon table or with everything closed ...I always manage to get particles in..and not on the side but in the middle of the screen haha! but gladly i have a lot of them so right after the video I replaced it with another one
glad im able to help you guys...the more cases I get the more reviews I will be doing

have you tried the hot shower method? it really does work wonders, but it sure is uncomfortable in there.

Actually I haven't. Good idea. Will try that!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Ditto. Applying screen protectors must be the most annoying thing in the world...

the larger the screen protector, and the smaller the cutouts that you have to align, that worse it gets. Getting this crappy matte screen protector on my GS2 was a pain, now I don't even want it because it ruins the beauty of the screen.
I tried the hot shower method for the first time on my GS2 and it definitely made life easier as far as keeping dust suppressed goes, but any dust that gets stuck on the sticky side of the screen protector is still going to cause trouble.
Running it for ~10 minutes got the bathroom nice and steamy when I did it, don't humidify it to the point where it gets uncomfortable, but you do have to keep it running during the process =\
that was probably incoherent as hell and more of a rant than anything, but I've never been good at sorting my thoughts

I understand your frustration no worries there. So from what I have gathered from reading a lot of blogs and stuff:
1) Soak the screen protector (if it's a silicone adhesive that is water-resistant) in half water half isopropanol to clean the sticky side of the sp.
2) Apply screen protector in a steamy room.
So much work.. Especially since a lot of people have no trouble at all applying screen protectors regularly. Maybe I'm just fail

If you're careful, you don't have to soak the screen protector in anything, I didn't and it went on perfectly, that is...until my cheap eBay case started pushing the top right corner up. Just run a hot shower, and do EVERYTHING in there, even opening the screen protector. I live in a REALLY dusty apartment (no idea why) and I had very little trouble except for lining up the holes.

i have the same case, same issues at the bottom with the mic but it doesnt effect my calls. even with the minor imperfections, i would still recommend the case to others.

Never heard of the hot shower method before
I've applied many screen protectors ranging from Nintendo DSi to iPad2/Samsung Galaxy Tab and anything in between over the years, and never had any problems with bubbles or particles. The key is to have a brief bursts of canned air right before applying the screen protector and having a piece of Scotch tape in one hand in case any dust particles get in between. If that happens, I lift the screen protector little bit, touch the dust with the Scotch tape briefly, and continue the process. Scotch tape doesn't leave any residues behind (either on the screen or the screen protector depending on where the dust particle is) and it is readily available. Oh, and I always use powder-free latex exam gloves

Damn what if he never paid attention to it until you brought it up...now he has to go back and fix it

I finally received the case in the mail. Damn international shipping.
The case looks sleek. It fits perfectly. Haven't noticed any problems with the sound quality. I am satisfied. Will probably last very long until I decide to upgrade to like a seidio/otterbox/incipio ccase.

I font like cases that make the phone bigger ..love the protection they offer but hate the bulkiness

They just came out with a revision that fixes the mic being covered. I think I may buy it now.

Yea I saw the revision update on amazon a couple days ago. But I have some ebay bucks to use so I want to get it on ebay but there doesn't seem to be a revised one up yet.

[q] Getting minor scratches out on housing?

So after taking off my case today noticed a minor dent/ scratch on the bottom right housing corner as if its been dropped. I never dropped it so guessing someone else did and didn't tell me but that's another story.
Any ways. Any way to maybe buff out the little dent/scratch on the housing itself. I have a pebble blue gs3 also if that helps.

Try to get some nailpolish the same color as your phone. Just go to a store and see if they have samples of nail polish applied on plastik, then compare the colors to your phone. A cheap one will do fine. Then take a thoothpick and carefully fill up the scratch with the nail polish. Then wait for it to dry, normally noone will see the scratch without looking extremely carefully.

Not sure how helpful this is, but toothpaste can remove scratches from DVDs and CDs, so that might be something to look into.

Is it on both the front and back piece or just one? Not sure how to save the front, but I know the back cover you can find for cheap on eBay. I'm interested how you would fix the front part myself. I haven't dropped mine yet (knock on wood) but I'm usually really bad about that. Lol

Note II Bezel Mod??

Have been thinking of trying this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZuYzQrIHjA
Has anyone tried it and have any info on how it looks and whether it has stayed as good or corroded/got worse over time. From the video it looks really nice but not sure how it is in real life. I don't really like the look of it currently so am willing to give this a go if I get positive feedback.

Do it anyway - you can replace the bezel fairly easily right?

Yeah true. . But still don't wanna ruin it if it ends up turning into a mess

I actually was thinking about removing the chrome entirely by either using this method or by using sand paper, just not sure how that would turn out to be since i havent seen anyone else doing. I think for starters ill try this out tomorrow as i truly dislike the chrome look plus its a good time to cover up those scratched with more scratches.lol. Thanks for this video.

I did it and it actually looks really nice. And also seems to improve grip slightly hopefully it'll stay looking this good.
I used the green part of one of those washing sponge things. Don't apply too much pressure, start very lightly and work up the pressure when you feel confortable.
By the way, with the method I used it doesn't have any scratches at all.. just that lovely brushed chrome look.

okay couldnt wait so i went ahead and did it.

Its alright tbh. Thing is I always have the Samsung Protective Cover+ on coz without the cover the phone just feels flimsy and very delicate. But yea otherwise the bezel is still better looking with brushed metal look. I would only recommend to someone who already has a scratched up bezel.

How about painting the bezel before brushing? What do you think? Is it possible? My devices bezel has some white points where the grey paint is gone.

I wouldn't recommend painting over the existing chrome paint as it would be uneven and not really worth all the trouble especially if it already has some chipping. However, you could try plastic/rubber spray paint you can easily find at the hardware store. You can always take those things off easily leaving the chrome paint intact. Another option is to completely remove the chrome paint with perhaps a nail polish remover or something; you'll be left with a nice uni body like polycarbonate housing

That, I tried. But after I created a 1 cm white opening the fact suddenly hit me! Removing the paint on the buttons was not so easy and some grey paint would remain.

Scratch help

Just got this phone a couple days ago. Sold but s4. This phone is so much better seriously. However I noticed there's a couple very small scratches right on that shiny bezel next to where you plug it in to change. Is that shiny part aluminum? I'd like to find a way to remove the scratch. Its very small and I'm unable to feel it with my fingernail. I'm just really ocd.

Nope, not the white part. It's the aluminum part. It's where the aluminum attaches to the white plastic part. On the very edge of the bezel there's a couple small scratches. I can feel one with my fingernail.

You have 14 days, return the phone. They will usually replace it as DOA. You'll be fine.. a few stores were willing to replace mine for gaps in the chassis.

Ha.. let me tell you about that gap.. I still have my original phone. I've been to 3 corporate stores and looked at literally 17 new phones and they all had it.. mine was actually smaller than what I saw out there.. the only gapless phone I saw was 1 demo model at one of the corporate stores.
They usually wont fight you for a return on something even as minor as a scratch you can feel. Just make sure you go to a corporate store, not a satellite private owned store.

You don't have to even lie, just tell them you've been waiting for this phone on Verizon for 3 months now and since it's finally here you want a perfect phone. At least that's what I said 3 times at 3 diff stores and all 3 managers approved replacement. And yes, I would have it replaced for that, hopefully they wont blame you though. The gap thing is a more obvious factory defect (if not normal at this point).
Let them be the ones to lie about the DOA if the manager agrees to replace the phone for ya.

I'm going to lie anyway just to make sure they don't deny replacing it. I'm not saying anything about the scratches and they won't notice them. How did you get the phone replaced so many times at different stores? They told me I can only replace it one time and that they'd charge me like $30. I always tell them that I want to check the phone for physical defects before I buy it and they always look at me strange and make me feel like an idiot or something.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk 2

I mean I'm going to go in there tomorrow and tell them this thing has restarted itself 4x right when I was in the middle of doing stuff and that I did a factory reset and the same thing is happening. Then when they say ok they will replace it since it's only been like 3 days I'm going to say that the build quality on this phone is perfect(obvious lie) and I want to make sure that the replacement one you're giving me doesn't have any of the known defective gaps or scratches. What do I do if they hand me the replacement one and I notice a scratch or gap? Just say Um no I don't want this one and they bring another out until I'm satisfied?

and we wonder why we spend so much on cellphone plans...
Really, those scratches are not noticeable for most people. Lets remember these things are made on an assembly line as fast as possible and there is never going to be "the perfect" anything.
The gap I can kind of understand because it could cause water damage if water gets splashed right there, but a very small cosmetic flaw, that's not on the screen, is something I wouldn't even notice.

Something else is happening that's weird. A few times a day I'll get the standalone gps message pop-up... I'll just be on the phone watching a movie or something and it will pop up like I tried to turn the gps on or something when I haven't.

So I went into the Verizon store and no joke I had him pull out 5 different ones and only one of them had absolutely 0 gap however it had a small chip in the aluminum. Every single one had small scratches in the same area as mine. Mine actually looked better than most of them. The average person wouldn't notice any of this but I do. For now I'm just keeping mine.. I put a case on it anyway.

That's painted metal, not plastic. None of the body is plastic. Taken from CNET review: "HTC also makes a big deal about the One's all-aluminum chassis, describing it as using a zero-gap unibody design. Indeed, available in black and silver, the handset feels sturdy, with reassuring heft, and its smooth, metallic skin exudes high-end craftsmanship. HTC also took pains to point out that while the thin, white trim encircling the silver model I manhandled appears to be plastic, it is, in fact, metal."
You can also tell this by looking very closely at the edge of the white part and you'll see there's not a seam.

Coverycases full adhesive tempered glass screen protector...

Hey all long time stalker here Lol!
Came across a full adhesive case friendly tempered glass screen protector from a company called coverycases...
It actually showed up in my Facebook feed and I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience with it?
It says it's their 3rd gen and I've never heard of them...
Any input would be appreciated!

I've Tried this one and seems to work well. Only have had it for about 3 days and clarity and touch sensitivity has been great. I've attached some pictures but if you want more let me know.
I'll try to update in a week and if you need another update let me know.
It is a bit of work to put on but if you do it correctly you should be good without bubbles. But as other full adhesives, it is as most if not installed well you will likely get bubbles and won't disappear.
It has been the only full adhesive at the price range to work well and using it with the Spigen tough armor case.
Also, like others with a black bar on the side, it does disturb the screen a bit as shown in the second picture. Which is similar to the Otao screen protector I used before installing this one. It is not a bother to me but it could be a bother to some.

My favorite thing about the site is that they have a "you've unlocked a mystery discount" spinning wheel for entering your email address. I entered my email address and spun, I won "free shipping" only thing is they already offer free shipping. So, essentially I won exactly what they already give away to everyone.
Useful.

I haven't seen or don't know what the blue line you are meaning. But as mentioned it does have the Black bar that many hate on the sides as shown in one of the pictures I posted.
That is the main drawback of this one. I could tolerate as many what I see does not cause problems but this is something that everyone hates. See the picture with the reddish orange sides and see the black bar that is in between or I will try to take another picture tonight or tomorrow and post it here.

Yeah, the bar on the sides is annoying. Thanks.

Some more pictures as well showing the black bar

Update it has been good without any problems. It has been a little over a week since installing it and has maintained a good seal without any dust in the edges.
Clarity is better than TGSP with the only adhesive on the edges, as well as the showing of fingerprints as well.
Overall the best I've had so far for a Full Adhesive. The only drawback as mentioned is the bar on the sides as shown in pictures.
The only thing I haven't gone back to the Whitestone has been because of the screen lifting up after removing due to bubbles being distracting.
This could the next best Full Adhesive if you are able to withstand the bar on the sides.
Also ordered the one on Amazon if you are interested in which one I got.

Very good product. Full adhesive. Haven't try it underwater. Hopefully won't come off underwater
