It's been a while since I've posted on XDA... Found this ROXFIT PRO TOUCH case.... Premium Quality... I just checked the link and it's currently out of stock... Keep checking and get this case! You'll love it!

ROXFIT Cover is back on Amazon with limited stock, hurry and order yours. I have to be honest tho, you'll love the look but it'll take ya a couple of weeks to get use to the case but I promise once you get use to the case, you'll love it! Hit the Thanks button if this helps.
Bought this case 2 weeks ago. Very good build quality. The semi-transparent, touch sensitive cover doubles up as a brilliant privacy filter/anti glare filter. When viewing messages or other text through the cover, you can only see what it says if your face is within 2-3 feet of the screen and *directly* in front of it. Any other angle or distance and it's super blurry. It's also very good if you need to view a notification or the time late at night during sleep hours, as it doesn't emit a glare.
Downside is that the proximity sensor doesn't always detect the cover because of the semi transparency, and as a result sometimes the screen is still on during a phonecall and buttons can be pushed accidentally. I have already gotten comfortable with this though and with unnoticed adjustment I now no longer have any issues with this particular problem.
One last thing, the plastic on the back is a fingerprint magnet. If you pride in your phones current shimmer/shineyness, this case quickly turns it into an intrinsic artwork of pinky marks.
Seems fragile
I just recived mine and I am very disapointed about the quality, I want to be optimistic, but I fear the front "semi-transparent" part will be very fragile (as in the HTC dot view of the One M9).
So does anyone who had it for a longer time could reassure me on the quality of the product, or tell me right away if it's of poor quality ?
Thank you for your answers :good:
PS : is it dangerous to turn the front part all the way to the back ? will it tear the plastic junction down or is it possible ?

Can we set the phone to do different things when opening the flap ? Like on the official case for the xz? and what about the automatic brightness? does the sensor turn the brightness down when you close the flap?

yes kinda
So, is there any kind of feature that keeps the transparent flap closed (as opposed to letting it flap around freely)? The huge problem with the official XZ style cover was that the flap was flapping freely. If one kept the phone magnetically attached to car's dashboard, the flap would constantly flap open and closed as the car accelerated and decelerated. That effectively made that cover unusable. Is this problem fixed in Roxfit cover?

Do we need the keyboard slide protectors.?(The stickers on the edge of the keyboard) One of the sticker is coming off, and every time i open my keyboard it gets a little suck to the screen when opening. Not an issue for me but it will soon come off completely. Will the damage my keyboard ?
And does anyone know where i can buy more of these?
My left one came off after a couple of days and it's been fine. In fact, I'd say it's actually better. Part of me thinks we're supposed to remove them!
You're the second person wich says its a slide protector.
Well, it's not.
If you look on it, you will see that the 'slide-protector' is also between the 2 clips wich hold the screen.
This is just a factory-protection. wich can be removed at arrival. (its just like the protector wich was on the screen when you get the phone).
I still have the 'slide-protection' because it is nearly invisible, and it protects the surface against little scratches and other miniscule damage.
conclusion; you can't buy this
but you could try it with some transparent tape...

Agreed. These are there just during the manufacturing and shipping process and can be removed - particularly if they are catching on the mechanism!
I had 5 pieces of this plastic that came on the TP2:
One on the Left and Right of the Keyboard
One at the top of the keyboard - (the surface above the number keys).
The one at the front of the screen (with a "please dont squish the screen" warning.
One on the back of the screen (just tilt the screen and look at the back)
I have removed all of these with no problems.
these are only protective stickers to prevednt scratches during manufacturing, you have one on each side of the keyboard, one of top of keyboard, and one behind the display, in addition to the obvious, on the display - all are there to be peeled off.
Would there be a problem in leaving them on? in terms of heating or so? They don't bother me as i hardly even notice them, and it probaly prevents scratches during use as well...
I wouldn't advise anyone to peel them off on purpose. If they are hanging there, then keep tehem as they porvide aditional protection.
I bet none of you have noticed there's also a protection covering the back of the phone, have you?
HastaSSSS
I wondered if the back had a protector on it asyou can notice something like one around the volume controls
i also didn't mentioned the backprotector... but i just removed it after reading this... woot!
but the protector on my keyboard will i left. its a good protector for scratsches after much sliding.
there is also a protector wich isn't announced here!
The one on the headset (on the microphone)!!
after 2 days there is a scatch at the right of the keyboard from the bottem to the top. it getting deeper very fast. It's a bit weard because my brother has the tp2 to, tighter screen (less wobble) uses his keyboard like crazy ( i just a few times each day) and his is scratchles

most likely because of dirt/sand in your pocket - I've used mine now for a month (stored in pockects) - and there is no sign of scratching.

I thought that two in the first place, but there's only a little bit of dust there and cleaned it up. But no i'm not going to return it, still if the mechanisme start with another problem I wil return it. Like getting very loosly, what I think is just accepteble in years not in a few weeks than I let it be repaired.
So I am looking at getting a leater hip holster. I know the style I want, but I see there are ones that have snap closures and magnetic closures. The magnetic seem better from the idea of not having to put pressure on the phone to close it, but on the other hand it seems like I'd rather have have the snap in terms of security (meaning, the snaps are theoretically less likely to pop open when shaken, bumped, or caught. I am sort of active and in a little more rough setting than your normal office.
Anyone have any comments/thoughts? Is this even a worry with magnetic closures?
The magnets will most likely cause the 'keyboard open' and 'stylus out' switches in the phone to read incorrectly when it is removed from a case with a magnetic closure. It doesn't do any harm, and the keyboard switch can be remedied by a registry edit.
See this thread for more details.

I have magnetic closure, and it works fine for me. The last several cases have used this technology. I have never had the case open unless I did it.
Right now I am using a holster case with a magnetic snap. the magnet can make the phone behave as the other poster described but I simply face the front of the phone to the back of the case. Just put it in backwards, all works the same anyway.
I would like a case though that might flap over to protect the front but allow the keyboard to slide out etc so the phone can stay in the holster if that makes any sense. Dont know if such a thing exists.
im using a magnetic case and have no problems with any odd behavior (i also put it in screen inwards)
i used to use a snap, but i didnt like putting the pressure on the phone either, and oddly the snap case was the one that was constantly popping open, probably because the snap has a larger profile than the magnetic clasp, and also once the snap pops open its open, with the magnet it usually settles back in closed position even when it does pop open
I've seen that odd behavior with the case I have now. Sometimes my phone just unlocks itself just by placing the phone into the case or taking t out. It has a very strong magnet though. The original HTC that comes with the T7373 has a much milder magnet which doesn't cause any of the problems.

the case im using is the OEM that came with the sprint mogul, since its also from HTC its probably got the same kind of magnet the OEM case from the rhodium had
Looking at the back of the phone, the camera looks like it sticks out more then sgs1 and 2. Do you think there camera'bump' or worse still the camera lens will get scratched when lying it on its back?
Sent using TCP/IP
From my experience this is inevitable. On my HTC Desire it is quite badly scratched up. The good thing is, that the part that gets scratched up is only the transparent plastic on the back cover, which can be replaced easily.
Don't know about the One X though. Its camera juts out too. I was planning to buy that but didn't because of the non removable back..

is the s3 lens sticking out more than s2? some images pls
Hope these images appear !
Scratches on a lens are generally hardly noticeable, if at all, in pictures, though more so if you're shooting f11 onwards. Obviously a mega gouge would show but I don't think there's too much to worry about. It's the condition of the sensor that really matters.

The camera lens would be placed a bit inside the silver frame, so it should be safe hopefully

Most people who have had a phone where the glass/plastic lens cover lies against a table when the phone is resting on its back, find that camera images get much more blurry after a few weeks. Many HTC Desire users ended up punching out the plastic cover with a pen, and when you see before and after pictures, the improvement is really noticeable.
The manufacturer just needs to build in a half mm lip on the camera surround. Doesn't look like Samsung did this. The next best option is an additional case protrudes beyond the lens cover, like a gel case.
well the Desire was designed to be placed screen down, hence the lip - so it doesn't scratch the screen.
With the SGS3 packing Gorilla glass 2, I'm guessing you're meant to (or at least can..) place it screen down also...
it would be fine... trust me I have S 2 and never had any straches neither front nor the back.
I've had a chance to play around with an SIII and that was my first concern to, but there is a silver frame around the lens that protrudes slightly (about half a mm) so the camera doesn't actually touch flat surfaces.

Thanks, that's good to hear.
I always buy a case as I generally drop my phone at least once a week and my cases take the beating, I have practically shattered the plastic pieces on my case, btw the case is one of those gels with a piece of plastic in it.

Found an old thread here while searching for something completely unrelated!
however though it must reply.
My camera lense is scratched to buggery, i had to buy a case to stop it getting worse, Bad move by Samsung IMHO,
I dont think it makes a difference with the shots though, but left to get worse and i guess it probably would eventually..
didnt you guys get the leather pouch with the phone ? samsung gave that for a reason
Obviously not to everyone

Hi,
Cant remember where I read that the sony case itself as well as several non-sony ones would support smart cover (when you flip open, the screen comes on without you touching it) and smart sleep (goes to sleep when you close the cover). Sort of like a ipad function. I have the sony original case for tablet z and I cant the 2 features to work.
any ideas? thanks

i've this one and works perfect for me with the smart sleep function. It's great quality.
I know the Sony official case woleeps/wakes fine out of the box with no changes needed to settings. I returned it to frys though because it wasn't worth $90 with tax in my opinion.

Yeah I think it is supposed to have those features, sounds like a faulty case to me. I was thinking about getting this case, but decided to save some money and just got a sleeve that also turns into a stand. Would be more practical for me anyway, I don't like cases.

I just tested the smart functionality using my Sony case (the red one). It works as far as I can tell: It wakes the screen when you open the cover and puts it to sleep when the cover is shut.
It's an elegant cover. But I agree that it's too expensive for what it is. I use it on my commute to work. I've read complaints that it's too bulky. It does not seem so to me, and it's pretty easy to take the XTZ out of the case when I get to my office.
Disable function
Is there a way to disable this function? Thanks
Out of curiosity, how does it work at all? Is it simply working through the light sensor, i.e. when its covered and pitchdark it assumes cover closed and goes to sleep, once ambient light reaches it it wakes up?
Or is it more elaborate than that?

There is a reed switch about an inch left of the front camera. A magnet will activate the switch and cause the tablet to enter Sleep Mode. Removing the magnet will cause the tablet to wake. Many tablet cases have a magnet in their front cover.
@hyann I'm using the Poetic case for my XTZ and the smart wake/lock function works great. It isn't bulky or heavy either and the best part is that you can get it for under $20 USD. It's a well designed case and protects the device really well. Basically the tablet is placed into the matte finished plastic case that's connected to the leather binding.

Overall does what it's supposed to do, but some annoyances with it! I wouldn't spend money on it at this present state.
DOES NOT work with most cases
Weird grid (dot matrix) on the screen.
Adhesive isn't very strong, very little pressure lifts it up.
Isn't "round" on edges
If you have any specific questions let me know, I'll post specific pictures if you'd like; but here's a few showing the annoyances
I'll upload images here
Can you still see the dots when you turn on the screen?

It's been overcast & gloomy, so I didn't notice it until today when the sun was out; only can see it at a certain angle; definitely wouldn't recommend this protector in this form.
I've owned TechMatte screen protectors on pretty much every device I've owned over the last 2 years and have yet to be disappointed until this protector.
I got this as part of the free promo on here. I've noticed some good and bad
PROs:
1) Does cover entire screen
2) No halo effect
3) Cutouts do fit correctly to FFC, sensor, earpiece and buttons
4) Comes with all the proper install materials
5) Fit fine with my case.
CONs:
1) Odd dot-matrix effect. Not sure if this has something to do with the fact that the screen doesn't seem to "attach" like most tempered glass protectors.
2) Fingerprint resistance is not as good as typical TechMatte items I've bought.
3) Cover for the home button does seem to cause a bit of disturbance with EASE of fingerprint sensor use. It still works, but it does seem to "miss" more
4) Biggest and most disappointingly: It interferes with the swipe down for notifications. I find I have to use WAY more pressure to pull down the notification section. Also am noticing an alarming number of "missed" letters when I am typing now.
It looks great and applies well, but I would have to agree with the OP that I wouldn't buy this in it's current state.
Worst thing for me is that I had to pitch the screen protector I had on it that while it wasn't edge to edge, it was responsive and didn't inhibit anything. Now I have to pay another $9 to get another one shipped to me, as I can't deal with retyping everything I input 3 times to correct for missed key strokes.
Take a look at this one. I just ordered it cuz someone posted this on one of the forums. It looks pretty decent.
