I got one. Slippery feel. No shock absorbing material on the inner portion besides the stickers that hold the buttons in place. Kills the signal. But, I like trying out different things. I'll try to post some pics. It's been a while since I posted pics on a forum so hopefully I get this right.

I bought one from eBay as well, but mine was silver.
It was pretty soft aluminum (but then again, aluminum is a pretty soft metal).
For me, I did not notice any significant difference in signal, maybe download speed dropped about .3~.5 Mbps.
Cell signal was still as great as ever.
I'm on Verizon btw.

I saw no change in any kind of signals, and I use GPS a lot, not necessarily for car, but also for just finding directions and such.
I attached some pictures, but I couldn't take it with my phone in it because I don't have another camera.
Also, the black things on the inside seem to be to prevent scratches from rubbing against the sides, which is a nice touch.
And it closes using screws, and frankly it was great.
But right now, I'm using a Bear Motion bumper instead, because I have to take the case off sometimes even when not home and don't really want to fiddle with the screws. But it feels great and seems solid enough for such a soft metal like aluminum.

No problem!
But I'd suggest the Bear Motion one instead of aluminum, because Bear Motion provides (I feel) better protection and will definitely not scratch up the beautiful note 3:good:

Shame it isn't listed for the Orbit 2.
I have been using one on my Ipod touch and it really is excellent and feels right for touch screen.
I once got an Invisible Shield for my 750 and returned it. The material felt very sticky and grainy and I felt it more suited to smartphone(non-touch) devices.
I have ordered one and am waiting for to apply. Having browsed in Kaiser and Elf forum that the Shield is good for protection against scratch. There are posts said that it is quite tacky while some others claimed there is no problem for stylus using.
if you have the full bodyshield wont u lose the rub feeling on the back?

I've got one on my IPOD, and it does great. However, I'm not sure it would be a good fit for the TC. They are a bit "tacky", so I don't think that it would work well. I do recommend that you get one for anything that's not touch screen though. I think that the full body version would actually make the device a bit easier to hold. My 8125 felt more secure in my hand with the Invisible shield on than the TC does with it's rubberized back.
One thing to note, the whole body shield on my 8125 eventually got dirty around the edges and I couldn't get it cleaned. This was mostly around the areas that were getting the most abuse though. I eventually took those pieces off since they wouldn't stick anyway.
I'm waiting/hoping for Boxwave to come come out with their screen savers for the TC. I've got one on my old Cingular 8125, and it fits great (almost a perfect fit..no discernable gap around the edges). And they are touch friendly also. They have a "Krystal" clear version, which I'm using, and one that's supposed to help with glare. I don't use it cause I think it distorts the picture some.

I actually bought the kit as well. Currently I am using the martin fields screen protector and its looking and working great.
I have 1 concern with the invisible shield, the solution spray.
Do you guys feel comfortable getting a liquid onto your device. Am I missing something here. You are supposed to spray your device and spray the shield with this solution as part of the process of applying it and pulling out all the bubbles.
I really dont feel comfortable spraying a liquid on an expensive device.
Your thoughts on this.

you spray the liquid on the skin/shield... i've used their products on just about every PPC/Smartphone i've had in the past 2 years without any problems... unfortunately, they don't have a shield for the O2 Orbit 2 version (yet).
Great thread! I desperately want an Invisible Shield to protect my entire Cruise, but I also desperately don't want to sacrifice too much TouchFLO performance when using application such a TouchPal, Tengo Thumb, etc.
Would anyone with an Invisible Shield be able to comment on how realistic (or otherwise) the following video would be with one installed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yTN4wC_ml8
I think a video is the best way to objectively judge how badly the sensitivity problem might affect some people and not others (youTube certainly helped me understand with video driver/TomTom problem).
I have had the Invisible Shield on my Touch Cruise for a couple of days now. I got the full body which does a pretty good job of covering it. It does not cover the bottom area where the usb port and mic goes. I don't know why they forgot this area but I am happy with it. I usually use a stylus with letter recognition and the only thing I have noticed is for opening the cube I have to press a little harder. I tried like in the video and it works that way. I would try it you have nothing to lose they have a 30 money back guarantee. I use it on several devices and I am happy with it.

Excellent, thank you so much for the feedback, mpf54!
Did you notice any problems at all with the Cruise recognizing all of your finger taps after applying the Invisible Shield? Or were you able to type at a similar speed as before you applied the shield?
I use a stylus usually. There was a little getting used to it being covered. But all that was is I have to press a little harder. I like it.
Well I got my shield and was very excited to try it out on my TC. Directions are pretty straight forward so you think its going to be simple, wrong. After 30 minutes I had only installed the back piece and it looked really bad. The sides are almost impossible to line up perfect and seem a tad bit short in width. After using a lamp, blowdryer, and tongs I finised putting all the pieces on the device. The instructions say to allow 24 hours so that the pieces attach to the device. I finished at 7pm and let it set till 7am the next morning. I must admit the next day the device looked much better then the night before. I was excited to test out my device then noticed after all the precautions I took there was dust underneath right in the middle of the screen. Then I noticed that the bottom part of the device is not protected. I decided to take advantage of the 30 day refund policy and am going to send it back. I think that for this device the pieces are just to difficult to align and a tad bit off. I love invisible shield products I have one on my ipod, but for the TC I do not recommend unless you are a very meticulous and attention orientated person.
While I will admit is is knid of a pain to put on the full body. I am happy with mine. It took several days for it to look really good but it does.

It is a pain to put on the full body but all you really need is the screen cover. I think this is the best one you can get. It took a a while to put it all on but it looks gook and the protection is great.
Bought myself an Invisible Shield screen cover and I must admit I'm pretty satisfied. Better than the original screen cover. Much less fingerprints (plus it's much more easier to get rid of them) and although it takes some time to get used to it, the overall perception is good. Would recommend it.

At the moment i'm using a brando metal case. Do you think inv.shield can give the same protection to the screen? I've watched almost all videos on youtube about inv.shield and never saw any video that tried to test a PDA-phone touch screen in the same way as we can see on iPod at the official video. I'm pretty sure an ipode screen (covered by plexy) it much more stronger than an "avarage" touch screen. So those videos will never be a good example for us. By the way... have you seen the new case-mate case for iPhone yet? I really want a cover like that. I hope those guys will make for Polaris too
You've probably all seen this case on the Sprint site. It seemed to be just what I was looked for. A solid case (don't care for rubbery) with kickstand. Why they only offer this in purple is beyond me. Google searching only showed pink as an alternative. But I was really liking the idea of the kickstand that props it 3 ways. It's a really smart idea. So I picked up a purple one from the sprint store. I figured I'd paint it or skin it somehow. A trip to the hardware store found me some paint for plastic that had a bit of texture. I was worried that a glossy or even a dull spray paint would look cheap. But this has a "hammered" finish. The cap had a nice feel to it (which is supposed to be the same texture as the paint). So I tried it.

The case has a VERY glossy smooth purple coat. I figured no paint would stick so I took some 180-grit sandpaper to it to remove some of the gloss. In one spot I sanded long enough to remove the paint to see what the plastic was like. It was black and it didn't look too bad. Smooth, kind of dull, but not bad. Based on that, I thought I would remove all the purple paint....stupid. Took a while and when it was done the plastic looked crappy. No problem cause I had the paint anyway.
Following the directions, two THIN coats within a few minutes and 24 hours to dry.
I didn't know what to expect cause after all, it's just spray paint. The texture looked nice, but I waited the full 24 before I felt it. Hoping it wasn't too cheap or sticky feeling, I gave it a go. AWESOME. It has exactly the texture I would have hoped for. I mean, I'd prefer a matte finish like the battery cover. But short of that, it's great. Smooth enough to feel nice, textured enough to not be slippery. For a $5 can of spray paint, I'm impressed. The paint seems to have adhered to the plastic very well.
Check it out. Sorry for the poor lighting, but you can get a idea of color and texture.
I've also got a can of clear enamel. I thought I would need it, but after feeling how this came out, I don't want to chance it being worse (sticky, too slippery, or even spider cracking). Maybe some of you painting experts can chime it and tell me if I'll really need it. So far I'd say no. My only worry is durability, but after a few days, it's great. I thought it'd be most susceptible to wearing off within the first few days, but nothing of the sort. I've not been exactly gentle with it either. If it holds up looking and feeling this good, I'm very happy.
Other thoughts:
-The 3-way kickstand is sweet. Holds solid. Less tippy than my evo 4g on it's kickstand. Especially with the charging cord connected.
-The camera ends up recessed a few mm. Feel perfectly safe setting it down.
-The screen is also recessed a couple mm. So it won't rub on a flat surface if you set it down.
-The top and bottom are NOT PROTECTED. Not a big deal to me, but some might not like it. If it fell straight, the top or bottom should barely hit if at all. If it fell at just the right angle, top and bottom are scratched.
-I'd prefer a metal kickstand, but this is about a solid as a plastic one gets. The mechanism is a bit unique with a sliding pivot. It clicks open and closed.
Overall, really happy so far. Just couldn't deal with that purple, ugh.
7/20/11 - Inductive Charging - Touchstone style.
Ok, so I had 2 Palm Pre phones in the house and 3 touchstones doing nothing. So I was inspired by drinkwd40's guide on Good and Evo. However, instead of pulling the battery cover off, I decided to do it in the case. There is enough room to fit all the parts with little change in the fit of the case. The biggest difference is that the screen is only recessed about 1mm now instead of 2.
Sorry for some of the pics. Gotta get more light in my man-cave.
Touchstone parts
What I did different is that I didn't use the magnets. I know, I know...That's most of the cool factor with the touchstone. It's true. But I like the idea of a working compass. So I didn't use the small metal discs in the case and I took apart the touchstone to remove the magnets. Now it is more like a powermat type thing.
Here is the how the receiver parts fit in the case.
The worst part was hacking up a usb cable and trying to play nice with the pins. I used an epoxy nub on the plug to cover everything. I left it to stick out a bit so I can remove it easily for USB connection (need to get my root on!) as well as MHL when I can get an adapter. It sticks out about 2mm or so past the side of the case. I does't bother me at all because of where it is at. If I did it over again, I'd fight harder to get the nub a bit smaller. Something i may try to improve on later.
For now, I just put the touchstone in a simple enclosure so I can set the phone down and have it charge.
My plan is to make a nicer base for the touchstone. Probably one that props it up on an angle like the touchstone does.
Charging away!
Notes:
-The receiver adds just a bit of thickness behind the phone, so it pays to "shim" around other places to even it out. Otherwise it feels a bit uneven in the case. As it is now, the phone is nice and snug. Also, shimming it a bit will make sure the case doesn't bulge at all.
-I haven't noticed that it takes any longer to charge, but I haven't had it working but a couple days.
-I wonder if having the touchstone receiver constantly connected via the usb port will actually draw down the battery any. I hope not since this must be how Palm designed it, but who knows?
-Just having the coil behind the phone makes the compass a bit off. But it still seems to work, just slightly off. In the year I had my OG EVO, I used the compass like 3 times for Google Sky Map. But with more and more AR apps around, I'd like to keep it functional, just in case. If I remove the coil, it seems to line up correctly again. So I could always just pull the phone out of the case.
-On the kickstand with the connector down, it stands on the nub just a bit. No biggie at all, doesn't tip or anything. Here's where I could make it a bit smaller.
A hard case that doesn't add too much bulk, in a color I like, with a kickstand that props the phone 3 ways, and wireless charging!... If I can't be happy with that, I don't know what would do it. Too much work though
8-2-11 Update
Got a few more pics of the charging base and the case after I added clear coat.
Basically I just cut the bottom of the charging box I had made with the touchstone in it. Now it holds the phone on an angle like the touchstone would.
The round felt pads are to level things out while its on the charger.
The clear coat took much of the hammered texture feel away, but added a smoothness that is kind of nice as well. It's not slippery at all and I feel like I'm not wearing into the paint now. Here's how it turned out.
I doesn't look too much different, but does have a different feel to it. I like it.
Someone asked what it is like behind the kickstand. Here's a pic where you can see the touchstone coil because it is totally open under the kickstand.
I think I'm done now. Of course, that's what I said last time...
Looks nice!
That does look nice. =)
I'm not too familiar with this case so I have one quick question about the kickstand. When it's not in use and is collapsed, is there a way to lock the kickstand from re-opening?
Thanks.
Good job it looks better. I haven't seen the purple one but I've seen a red version which didn't look that good either.
Nice job man!! I also could not do the purple or the red. Why in the world would that not offer it in black or gray? Makes no since to me...

Yes, the kickstand has small plastic latches on the bottom that hold it closed. No worries about it opening on its own.
Plus the kickstand is not floppy at all. The slide mechanism has some friction. If you had it unlatched and shook the phone around, the kickstand wouldn't move. It latches both fully open and fully closed.
Do you have to sand it? Call me lazy but it would be nice just to paint over it. And thanks for the heads up. It looks great.
Thanks for answer. I just ordered one.

You could try it with no sanding. It's just that the purple is so glossy, it may have trouble sticking. I didn't try so I don't know for sure.
Honestly 15 minutes worth of light sanding should be more than enough to remove the gloss. You just want a little more texture for the paint to adhere to.
Love this case but wit the gay colors that's a no no for me Lol, if there was a black one I'm sold.

Agreed. I'd be all over a black or grey or even a green one. Looks to be the best kickstand solution I've seen so far
Okay, now that you've had it a few days, how do you feel about the kickstand? Do you think it will be able to handle the wear and tear of everyday use? Thanks for your input. It's very much appreciated.

I'm so glad I got the otterbox case.
I have mine for a week now. So far the kickstand is holding up. Don't know if that will be true over a few months. But then nothing is certain.

I'd say the kickstand will hold up fine if you don't use it constantly. If you are always clicking it in and out of the back, then the little nubs that hold it might wear off after a while. Easily fixed tho. And it is plastic, so it can break if you are too rough, but it's not too flimsy. Better than I expected anyhow.

* Updated OP with touchstone charging mod
That was work a bit of work, let me tell ya...
Inspired by your work I de-pinked a Body Glove Vibe. Definitely not an expert at painting etc, but it was easy and the results look great. The hammered paint really does provide a great surface.

I got my Body Glove today and used Hammered Black. It's drying now so we'll see how it looks tomorrow. I think I'm really going to like the black. Thanks again for the post!
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
a couple weeks in now and the hammered black is holding up good. I never did clear coat it. Still can I guess. Let me know how it works out for you guys.
I also made the touchstone charger look much nicer. I'll throw up a couple more pics soon.
I must say, the paint makes it easier to hold, and I like that. It's worth painting if only to make it less slick, but the hammered black looks good anyway.

It's $20 on amazon. The forum won't let me post pictures of it or links.
Does anyone have one, how sturdy is the kickstand, kinda looks a little flimsy to me? Also, can it withstand being dropped, saying on the corner of the phone? I know they make similar cases for other phones, and could only find a couple of youtube videos, but the guy didn't have the phone in the case nor try the kickstand out.
Thanks!
EDIT:
I went out and got it. It does cover the speaker, but it doesn't muffle the sound at all, or make it lower. The case is a pita to take off though, but I'm not planning on taking it off and on. I couldn't find a case that was a hybrid and had a kickstand besides this one. It has a raised edge over the front screen, so you dont have to worry placing it front facing on a surface. The cameras are also sunken into the case, so those will not get scratched from setting it down on it's back. The kickstand works in all three positions. So if you want to charge it while watching a movie you can. The kickstand may feel flimsy, but it locks into place and does the job. It has rubber at the end on it to make sure it stays put.
Overall it's a great shock absorbing case with a kickstand. I had a speck candy shell for my iPhone, and it saved my phone numerous times getting out of cars and trucks with my phone on my lap and forgetting about it and it hits the asphalt, and I'm confident this case will do the same.

I think it looks pretty sweet!!!
This case from CaseMate blocks the speaker on the back
I got this case for free at the place I got my 3D cause they took days to get me a replacement handset. I've used it once and will never use it again. It is hard to put on and a pain in the ass to take off. It latches on to your battery door like a pit bull and contorts it when trying to take it off. The kickstand seems really frail too.

This case looks good, but its a no go if it covers the speaker. Any way to cut out a piece around the speaker?

I went out and got it. It does cover the speaker, but it doesn't muffle the sound at all, or make it lower. The case is a pita to take off though, but I'm not planning on taking it off and on. I couldn't find a case that was a hybrid and had a kickstand besides this one. It has a raised edge over the front screen, so you dont have to worry placing it front facing on a surface. The cameras are also sunken into the case, so those will not get scratched from setting it down on it's back. The kickstand works in all three positions. So if you want to charge it while watching a movie you can. The kickstand may feel flimsy, but it locks into place and does the job. It has rubber at the end on it to make sure it stays put.

Didn't know that you could stand it horizontally on both sides. That's neat. Any pics of the kickstand itself?

It REALLY was a major pain to take off. Impossible for someone who plans on swapping out batteries a lot. And it also made it extremely difficult to turn the phone on and off via the power switch. I'm sending it back.
I'm going to get this one when I get refunded for the Casemate.

Yeah, I don't plan on swapping batteries. I rather have something that's going to protect my phone from drops, seeing how I do that a lot when getting out of the car,
i work for sprint so i get to test cases and other stuff out all the time. this case is sweet looking on the phone, although its a little bulky. as stated before on this thread, its a pain in the a** to take off and its a pain to turn on and off via the power switch. the kickstand is very very flimsy as well. too bad cuz this is the sweetest looking case out there with a kickstand.
comes in black also.
I ordered one and it showed up today, I'm definitely a fan. I had one of the cheap snap together cases, and sadly that actually scratched the phone cause it didnt fit tight enough to keep dirt out.. this is so much better. feels so much more solid in my hands, and well protected. swapping batteries.. yeah it makes that a pain. but it's a price I'm willing to pay. And the kickstand seems flimsy but it does the job, I have a hard time believing it'll be a problem cause it's actually so flexible, probably pretty hard to break it.

Dude how did u get it to stand up with the charging port on top?? Everytime i try the kickstand closes and the phone falls over....
R.I.P. HD2 hello EVO 3D!!
Yes there is. the rubber is very soft on the inside so I got a razor blade and cut the section out rite over the speaker sound is a lot better now.

You have to open the kickstand up all the way. It almost opens to a 90 degree angle

If you open it all the way, it locks, then you're able to stand it on it.
Ive had this case (black) for 2 or 3 weeks. Its very tight on the phone, I like that it fits well and wont fall off. I do usually have to use a butter knife on the bottom (no buttons to ruin) to pry it off. I love it. Ive seen it in Black White and Pink. Got it on ebay for $20. The kick stand is kinda flimsy, but hasnt fallen off yet. Hope this helps.
It is a great case I have had mine for a few weeks the only problem I have with it is it will block a little bit of the 4g signal. I have tested it its not a big issue but is ur signal is week it will kick u off 4g

Just came across this new case while browsing Amazon to see if any new Idol 3 accessories have been produced. And to my luck there was. I was going to post this in the already created thread about posting which case you already own or want, but I feel creating a new thread informing those of new items would bring different cases/accessories more attention. Available in 10 color combinations and it includes a free tempered glass screen protector. No mention on the hardness scale of it however. Also includes a holster and kickstand. The case also has covers for the headphone jack and charging cable to prevent any dust getting in them. Anyways, here's the case:

I wish there was the same case for 4.7 but they're not going to produce it, only for 5.5

These cases seem to be newly released. Give it some time for a 4.7" version to be produced. You sound pretty confident though they won't ever release a 4.7 case. Do you know that for a fact?

They must think the 4.7 isn't as popular as the 5.5 but that's not true. I'm sure the userbase for 4.7 is just as strong as the 5.5 userbase. The phone being on Cricket shouldn't matter since the phone is available worldwide unlocked. The company must have some agreement with the carrier(s) they produce cases for that limits them.

Which color did you get? I got my case yesterday and it's great! I feel it's the best case out for the idol 3 in terms of design. I've tried a variety of cases and spent way too much money on the collection I have now because I couldn't find one I would want to use for a daily driver for long. But this case has everything. The built on dust plugs for the headphone jack and charging port is what makes it feel high end.
Good case, but...
I've had the case for a couple days now, I like the look and feel but the buttons don't go in all the way, at least not for my unit. Otherwise it would've been a fantastic case.

Nope I didn't end up with the button issues. The buttons are flush with the case so it is somewhat hard to press, but once you get used to the placement it'll be fine. It's not like you need to press with all your force to use a button. It's just like any standard case. Buy it and you'll see for yourself . I own the same black on black version of that case and it did a good job until I found this beauty of a case.

So I ordered the Zizo and the quality blows my old case out of the water. The buttons are actually more nice to press with the Zizo and I don't always accidentally change the volume accidentally while at work or working out.
The only thing I didn't like was the four fake screws they put in the back which serve no purpose other than I guess making your phone stable on flat surfaces. They make the phone super slippery when on its back though so I just popped them off pretty easily and tossed them.
Oh, and the case around the headphone jack is raised which will cause problems with larger aux cables for sure. This is a fairly common problem with a lot of cases I find though and I'll probably just cut the case away if I find it bothersome.
I have the all black and love the case! No button issues for me

Ok maybe I'm just missing the obvious but how do you get it back into it's "holster" after putting the case on it? I can see the clip should snap around it but I'm flexing it pretty hard and it's not sliding in....I don't think I should have to fight with it to get the phone to dock.

I know what you mean. I don't use the holster but for the hell of it tried putting it in the holster to see how it felt and it took a lot of pressure to get it on. On the left side of the case under the power button you'll see 2 black openings which are for the holster. I'd assume to make it easier you insert the left side of the case into the holster first and just pry the phone in completely on the right. Those 2 black openings are for the clips on the holster.

A lanyard strap that's included in the packaging. Never seen the point of keeping a phone on a lanyard so it's of no use for me. You get used to the design of it after a while.

It can also be used to attach a keychain...luckily still fits in the belt holsters I purchased sized to fit the iphone 6+. Tried the holster it comes with..still trying to get used it...easier to use if you remember to turn the screen to face INTO the holder instead of trying to mount it exposed which I was stupidly doing.
So you guys recommend the case? I just seen it the other day, ive been kinda on the fence about getting it since its more expensive and ive been through 3 other cases that ive hated, but i hate not having a case even more... I was wishing for a trident case but i doubt they will bother anymore, so this one looks like my only hope for decent drop protection.
Hello everyone, since this thread was closed, I thought I'd reopen the discussion.
I'm currently waiting for my preorder to ship, but as of right now there is no specified date in Spain (just mid April). So I thought I'd ask you guys:
What do you think of the build quality? Do you see any potential issues in the near future? I saw the video of that guy scratch his G5 body very easily with a box cutter, of course, it's a box cutter! But do any of you think that will actually chip or scratch with normal usage? Like in your pocket, leaving it on the table, in your bag with other things? I do this all the time with my G4, G3, and every other device, but I have never seen such a video that a guy can literally take off the entire layer with little effort.
So people with devices, have any of you noticed or felt like the primer layer is weak or fragile enough to chip, break off, crack or come off by itself with little effort or every day wear? I'm planning on keeping this device for at least a year! (And yes, a case is on its way, but sometimes I do like to move around without a case - after all, these phones are designed without a case in mind...)
Thanks
The coating seems pretty durable, but I always use a skin on the phone so when I go to sell it it's in mint condition when I peel that skin off. I also keep the pocket it rides in free of other objects. I am sure if you took a box cutter to any phone, it would cause damage.

That's good to know. I just felt like in the video it looked like it was very "soft" or malleable. I just wanted to see what actual owners thought about it . I'm excited to get mine!
It's durable so far. been putting in my pocket with keys and no scratches, dents or dings. Dropped twice off the back of my couch last night onto my hard wood floor and my heart skipped a beat - no damage at all.
I prefer no case. The only thing that will really f-up your phone is dust/dirt as it will scratch everything

There are reports in some threads about small drops and keys dinging and scratching the phone.
With that said, it mostly depends on how it falls. I've heard of people's G4 body/screen cracking from five foot drops onto carpet. I've accidentally tossed mine eight feet in the air and had it land face down on pavement without a scratch, and that was using a Rinke Slim case.

From what I gather you need to intentionally cut into the phone in order to chip. Falls may do it too

And just to add, the phone though light has a solid heft to it (if that makes any sense). All of this talk of it being plastic has me fuming. I tapped the back and sides of the phone lightly on my granite counter top and there is no way in hell plastic makes a sound like that. I tried the same with my G3 and there are 2 distinct sounds...

What people i hear are saying is it does not feel like metal in the hand. LG promised, LG lied, we are disappointed, bla, bla....
it would seem that reviewers are adamant we should live in a world where ALL phones are anodised 'premium' flat slabs !!
Some companies beg to differ.
What is so godamn premium about aluminium. Its the cheapest metal to use. Its soft and dents like anything.

How is the leather back on the G4 holding up after nearly a year. Corners still peeling but never went beyond. The leather changed colour. The back on this is harder than leather.
So I appear to have developed a small chip on the top left side. I have been extremely careful with this phone in every way. Always in an empty pocket and set down carefully. Might have to get it exchanged.

See that's the thing, I didn't coddle my G4. I liked the feel of the leather, and I'm absolutely certain that I have bumped into stuff while it is in my pocket, that's the facts of life. You can't really avoid that. What I saw in another review yesterday was that in 8 days the device began to chip at the bottom where the magic slot is located. That's from normal usage. I'm very inclined to give it a shot! I loved and still love my G4, but I'm worried that the G5 might not hold up past a few months without seriously degrading the build quality [emoji19]

My 2 samsungs are very resistant : the Note 1 has felt 3-4 times, and the borders have just a liitle impact on a corner.
The Note 3 et Note 1 's paint are ok since the first day, no scratches, and the screens are ok too, without protection (just flip cover)
Samsung's phone are strong, hoping my future G5 is too :-/

Samsung were very strong devices. The last two years have been very fragile if dropped. The S7E I have now feels like I need to keep it in a diaper... I could drop my note, note 2 or 4. LG G4 too! But if the G5 begins to chip soon after... For the love of God! Hopefully what people are saying is true: there is a factory that has issues, but it's one of the three that are producing! So that's good...
