Is that by design? Maybe just bad design? Or is it just my phone?
I feel like mine is loose too. Always coming off randomly. A case should fix that problem though.

It is a bad design. One side squeaks when I press it and it is too easy to knock off without a case.

The back on mine seems fine. Does have a squeak on one side, but stays firmly in place.
Mine 1st vivid felt a little loose....I just tweaked the tabs on the cover til it felt solid. Worked good, just be careful not to
Break them.

I have noticed recent shipped models have had the metal hooks slightly bent inward it does seem to have a more snug fit

Yea way to loose.My otterbox commuter fixed my problem.No more worries about losing the battery cover.
It's kind of loose, but when mine gets loose I just pull the cover off and put it back and its tight for another three hours or so.

I think the battery cover issue was resolved. My replacement units battery cover had thicker clamp tabs, doesn't squeak of make my phone feel like a cheap knockoff.

Yeah. I am not encountering either one of those problems. I also got the Seidio Active case on mine now.

Mine Vol- squeeks a little. As far as the battery cover goes I don't feel as though it's too loose. It requires an acceptable amount of force to slide it off, and clicks securely back in place
I lost my back cover for a day, found it in my car, I took it off my car Holder and when I took it off, it fell under the seat. I immediately went out and bought a cheap back cover.

Ditto here.
Just bend the metal tabs of the metal cover up so they are tighter against the plastic housing of the phone. I did this too and the problem is solved. Only need to bend them about 1-2 mm.

IIRC, HTC's policy is that they will send you one free replacement.

cover loose
Funny for HTC to go through the trouble of making a sturdy looking metal cover to have it function like a cheap peice of plastic. Doesn't matter how light the fall, the back come's off my raider. It appears if you tweak the side tabs on the cover you'll get a tighter fit, don't break them though. I haven't tried that yet, however.
Remember there was some drop test for this in one of the reviews out there. When dropped heads down, the lid comes off even it's dripped 3inches.
Still like this better than Samsung plastic backs that start warping and squeaking after some taking off and snapping back.

That is good to kow
I dropped my phone enough that all the tabs are bent slightly outward. Now it seems pretty tight. Problem solved

Anyone else using an otterbox have a problem where the touchscreen goes all wonkey after the screen is on and gets hot?
I am about to cut the screen protector out and put a stickon one in its place

No overheating problems here but I just ordered some cheap screen protectors to do the same. Touch screen is not nearly as responsive with that thick piece of plastic on it. Have an Atrix 4G with a Ballistic HC with the same problem. Touch screen behaving funky until I removed the built in SP. I do think that removing the screen protector on the Vivid OBox will make it a little loose. It is already a bit creaky so we will see. This i the first Otterbox I am not happy with :/

I have this problem when I put my phone in my pocket without turning the screen off. The screen heats and the pixels wash out. Normal, as far as I'm concerned, since it happens most days and reverts after 5 minutes.
Which otterbox you using commuter or defender??

We all know it's defective, I removed, I put my own, but now the case is a little too flexible? Anybody have a fix for this? And when revision 2 ever comes out, will we get a chance to exchange ours?

Where the protector was actually glued to the plastic top housing piece, use a thin strip of foam tape (preferably 3m) all the way around about a 1/10th of an inch from the edge. The foam will sit between the top piece of the case and your phone.
Basically you are replacing the thickness of the glue + screen protector that helped keep the case nice and tight. It also helps to keep dust out of the case.
Even if the foam tape is 1/4 of a inch thick, it has a lot of give when pressed.
Thanks for help, appreciate it!

What is the cutting down the button nonsense? Mine works fine.
The screen protector works no differently than they did before or than that on the lifeproof...not getting all of the complaints. ..if one chooses to remove it so be it.. not really validation for the complaint imo

some users report the button sticking and to fix it you can cut down the material, probably isnt a problem with everyone.
My power button was fine. I just didn't like the gap between the screen protector. Felt weird. I had the phantom case for the s3 and it didn't have that. But we all can't get what we want.

I wouldn't remove the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender, although the pressure sensitivity of the S-pen is highly questionable.
Hey guys,
I did a search but haven't found any specific reference to this problem so hopefully someone can help.
I've noticed when I'm finishing a call on my nexus 6 and I take it away from my face, the screen doesn't turn back on and it won't respond to the hardware buttons. I have to wait till the other person hangs up before my screen comes back on. Its intermittent but it's really annoying. Anyone else noticed this problem?

Are u using any screen protector? it might cause some issue, u might need to cut off the part that covers the ambient sensor
Hey, I am using a screen protector, the toughened glass ones but I've disabled the ambient mode anyway. The sensor itself is unhindered and it'll work sometimes but it's just failing too often and it's getting really annoying.

Is the protector I bet
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
Yeah mine is doing this too. It's annoying as hell. Does anyone have suggestions and how to cut off that part of the screen protector safely to expose the sensors?
It's possible indeed. Gonna order another protector before I peel this off and test. Positioning them on the Nexus 6 is a bit of a pain with the rounded edges on the glass.

Ok so now I have to give this case 2 thumbs down because the magnet used to hold the kickstand in place causes issues when using your S-Pen. Sucks because I've used these cases for a long time with no issues.
Was anyone else hoping that this case was made of platinum?
Lancerz, I've been using it and have the same issue you mentioned with part of my screen not working with the s pen. Do you know if the screen goes back to normal after a bit of time with the case removed? or is that spot forever a deadzone for the pen because of the case?

Yeah it works fine once you remove the case so no permanent damage.
