Today I dropped my p7 on the bathroom floor and now my bumper has popped out slightly. How much would a repair cost at a huawei service center, or can I just hammer it back in with a rubber hammer?

i got my free flip cover along with the phone. but actually there's no indication of any price on the box of the flip cover. it's has "not for sale" on it. but if i need to purchase the same exact cover, then it costs nearly Rs.1800 or 1900 in the local samsung store
Update...Germany /Dortmund...

For a Freebie it's okay but I wouldn't pay the asking price for it.
I would spend a bit more and get a leather flip-case.
The build quality of the original flip cover is good and although its meant to be free with the device, the indicative price is to enhance the perceived value as there are negligible customers who would buy it.
By the way, the WHITE flip covers are EXHAUSTED in the Indian market and you will have to (wait or) take the dark blue flip cover if u are taking a white device.
The flip cover is unique in the way it replaces the back cover and hardly adds any thickness. It feels pretty cheap though and I wouldn't pay more than maybe $20 for it.

Got mine yesterday afternoon.
It took about 2 weeks. I've ordered it at 26 January.
Hi All,
I am using the flip cover. Compare to other cover it is good to use.
Also the cover is not at all of cheap quality , I guess it justifies it's price of Rs 1799 as i have another HTC phone Desire HD whose back cover itself is some 2600 at HTC show room.
So the Note flip cover is well justified and suits the device.
I got a Blue device with free blue cover.
Now planning to order even a White cover as well to give it new look
Where can you order white flip covers? Would like to have a backup as mine feels like it would self destruct any day.

Hey all, got my aluminum bumper with rubber buttons in the mail today. This is the better quality one when searching ebay, they go for US $25ish and ship out of Hong Kong. I went with the "titanium" color.
You can also see my GreatShield Anti-Glare (matte) screen protector that I got from Amazon for $6.99, Its been on the phone for a couple of days and I can't stand how degraded the screen looks with it on, I do not recommend it. This screen protector does not help to see out in the sunlight, I tried it with my wife's Note-2 with no screen protector on and there was no difference. This screen protector has also picked up a few scratches or nicks. S-pen did work fine with this screen protector.
I have since picked up the MobC brand "green" packaged "Fine-Oleophobic" from Amazon for $8.99. I applied one to my wife's phone this morning and it is so far undetectable on the phone! I'll update on if this one scratches easy. The S-pen is working with it great and provides the perfect "drag" of the tip, unlike a naked screen which glided to easily in our opinion.

The fit/finish and feel of this bumper is great! If only I had this when I bought the phone! Haha with the inside of the bumper lined with rubber I'm sure it would soften the jar of a fall as well as take all the abuse as it is a bit taller front and back of the actual phone. I will do some tests with it on/off to see if it blocks my cell service any or messes with 3G/4G signal.

Yes this has been about what I see so far. WiFi at home in the farthest corner was a jump back and forth of 1-2 bars with case on, case off was 2-3 bars back and forth. IDK how to test 3g (no 4g around here). Cell service as in calling was no difference inside or outside the house. I was able to stream Pandora out in the woods with the case on so all I really care about as far as being outside. I use Wifi at home and work and those are the places I'm at 97% of the time so It looks like it will work just fine for me. If your worried about it just source a plastic bumper.
Lay your phone on a flat surface and can u let me know if the back cover and the camera touches the surface? Thanks!

I live in the UK and bought an Otterbox commuter from mobilefun which has just been delivered today. After putting it on I have noticed that the top right corner is visibly loose and only takes a slight pull to expose the edge of the phone. The left side takes more effort.
I'm assuming this isn't normal? Would I be best contacting mobilefun or contacting Otterbox directly?

Contact otterbox directly using their email tool. Theyll get back to you asking for a couple if pics and your address. Then theyll ship you a replacement.

It has been reported before on this forum as one of the design flows with Commuter, just don't remember if it was right or left corners or in the area of volume/power buttons where its loose. Although, if I remember correctly it wasn't that extreme as you have described. As it was mentioned, contact their tech support, they will send you email with instructions and request to take pictures of the problem, then will send you a replacement under warranty.
You can see from looking at it that it's loose as it bends away from the phone on the corner. Thanks for the advise I will email them.

When I had my Defender for a week, before I returned it back, I figured it will be difficult to capture a screen protector flex problem on a picture, so I took a short video clip with another camera, and then used a free Any-video-converter program to convert it to a lo-fi low resolution clip to minimize the file size (went from 60MB to 1MB after I had it converted). This way in addition to a picture, you can also attach a small video clip to show the problem. At the end, I just ended up returning the case without a need for replacement. In case of Defender - it's a common problem with every case. Commuter seems to be getting a lot of praises, although personally I passed on it because it felt slippery in my hand and no friction once placed on it's back - I wish the outer plastic shell was a little rubberized or something. But then, I also heard some people stick a tape to solve that problem.

Good advise, thanks.
From first impressions it's got more grip than the bare phone and my samsung hard case I had so I'm happy with it.

Contact Otterbox directly. I had the same problem, I sent them some photos and in a week they sent me a flawless commuter back. Excellent service!

I just received mine yesterday and I think it is an excellent case. Easy to put on the phone and offers nice protection. Far from a "horrid" case in my opinion.

I dropped my phone flat on the concrete and now it has many small holes in the anti-shatter film. Is it a good idea to remove? Or is it better I took it to a shop such as the local sony store?

It does have metal around the bumper. You could get a aluminum back cover to replace it. That would be make it even more slippery like the iphone if you are into all metal things.
