does anybody have the s6 edge Luphie case? and willing to do a review on it
would like to know how it is
and if it does anything to signal or gps or anything
thanks
I have the Luphie aluminum bumper with glass back. It looks and feels amazing but there is some signal loss. Sometimes in my house it will drop to 3g when I normally get about 2 bars of 4g.

I bought the White/Gold version and got it today. I have about 10 cases and I would say this is the best looking one. My signal does seem to decrease but my LTE speeds are the same with or without it. GPS also connects in seconds and the heart sensor works even with the glass. The only thing I see wrong with it is that there's no cut out for the IR sensor so if you use the phone as your remote it won't work with the case on. I took some pics but not the best quality as I only had my tablet at my disposal.

thanks for the info cant wait,will post review on my youtube when i get it
i got the silver and black
sucks no ir blaster cutout
I take back what i said about minimal signal loss. I took it to work today with the case on and could not get 4G signal at all. I normally get 2-3 bars of 4G but it would never switch over from 3G. I wished there wasn't such a loss in cell signal cause this case is beautiful but I'm going to have to return it.
Anybody know where I can find a good plastic bumper? There are a plethora of aluminum bumpers but I can't even find a cheap plastic one.
Lol yea anything that has a metal bumper degrades the signal. I also bought this case. With it on, I would no longer get LTE indoors, it would drop to 4g. Also, it decreases my signal by 2-3 bars, no matter where I am.
Furthermore, It has bad tolerances. I had to put pieces of paper to fill up some of the gaps and along the buttons, otherwise it would rattle. It does look decent, except for the badly written text on the back. It's unnecessary and ruins the minimalistic look.
I would skip this.

Ditto is a pretty nice looking case but it definitely causes a big drop in signal. I took it to work and I was barely getting edge at a place where I always have LTE.

doesnt seem to be messing with my signal at home
finds gps right away, has little slits/holes where the antennas are
My case arrived yesterday, has little holes as well, no messing with signal . only IR are not working and maybe little drop at wifi signal, nothing significant, looks really nice, i am very happy with it.

i havent took mine out he house yet because i do construction and during the week i use a more rugged case but on weekends like now ill take it out and test it
and hey does the back of your case lock? sometimes mine doesnt i have to like force it a certain way
Luphie bumper case mostly are aluminum frame,impressive on their design and workmanship, if you're more attend to metallic and there is no more words on them if you don't care the signal loss,for luphie are focus on frame and which will reduce signal strength more or less as we know,I tried 2pcs one for S4 and one for S6 Edge,both of the same situation so comes a conclusion like this for reference.
More details you may check their online store:
http://goo.gl/sL8Abi
Its pretty good, looks cool but I bought a black one and U can tell the difference between the black glass on the back and the black sapphire on the res of the phone.
I'm thinking about a mate black skin to make the phone match the case.
Also the gold bumper is not bright gold, more like mate gold, but it really suits the phone. Plus it comes in a very nice box ahahah
Good luck.

Have you guys tried the screen protector that came with your Zenus Galaxy Tab case?
It's good but, hard to put on without bubbles.
Idk what you gonna get, but I have to mention one thing,
the case make singnal little weak. I confirmed.
I'm still love one so I just keep using it, but some times little annoying when I making a call.
Hmm..even though they advertise that their protector is bubble resistant etc, it does have them eh?
P.S. I already have the case, I'll check the signal, thanks

Thanks for the replies
I've ordered a Samsung one with my tab for £5 which is hopefully ok - in case one doesn't come with the Zenus case. If the Samsung one is rubbish, I'll go with Martin Fields as they have never let me down (4x the price though).
Hi, this is something I generally like to ask with new phones. Does your Nexus 5 have any death grip issues? I personally tried gripping it every way I could and there was no signal loss whatsoever
With my HTC One if I would put the bottom left into my palm it would drop signal, and I know the iPhone 4 would lose signal if you put the bottom left into your palm as well.
Just want to know what y'all have experienced!
No NeXus 5 is better than every other phone
Sent from my NeXus 5
No grip issue here other than needing a case to feel comfortable with it.
I'm thoroughly impressed with the N5 reception on tmo, death grip and all!
NX5
According to some of my buds over at S4GRU, the Nexus 5 is a champ in terms of Radio Frequency performance on Sprint, so I'd assume it's a monster on all of the other carriers.
EDIT: I believe that the Nexus 5's RF success comes from it's envelop tracking, which enables it to use more power to grab signals at a lower power consumption.

My thoughts exactly! I was even trying to make it lose signal but it wouldn't!
No such issues noted on 700mhz, 1700mhz or WiFi bands. Better WiFi than just about any phone I've owned, too..
So two people voted no but didn't care to explain their problem?
wasnt aware of all this. hmm. maybe ill buy some hulk hands and grip it til it snaps in two then check my signal.

Your HTC One has an aluminum build, the iPhone you referenced has a metal band around the sides. This doesn't play nice with RF so special antennas and designs are used to make it work. They usually place them around the outside rather than the traditional place inside the enclosure (this is what those little black lines along the outside of the iPhone 4-4S are), but you run into issues like the "death grip" for example. It's still cool technology though.
The Nexus 5 is all plastic, so there is no metal build to interfere with signal like on the aforementioned handsets.
No issues.
I really want the Dot View case for this phone. Did anyone mange to get their hands on one and dicovered that they don't like it? Why don't youlike it and would you sell it?
I just got it today and I absolutely love it! The only thing I don't like is, when you flip it back then its a little slippery! But thats all! It fits great and just looks great on the phone!
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I have mixed feelings about it. When I bought my HTC One from Verizon, I was told that they weren't going to have the Dot View cases in stock for at least a month or two due to the high demand of them. Because of this, I picked up the Incipio Black Feather Case. Funny enough, the next day after buying I get a phone call from Verizon saying they got a single dot view case in being held for me. The case itself feels incredibly cheap. While it definitely feels like it can protect my screen, the backing of the case feels just like a cheap plastic. For the cost of the case, I was expecting something a little bit better in the build quality.
As for the case itself, its too gimmicky for me for the time being. It only works with default HTC apps. I use a different SMS app (Sliding Messenger Pro) and the Gmail app for my email. Neither of these are supported by the dot view case. I've tried googling around to see if there's a work around for these or a separate dot view app that allows these but have yet to find anything. The only thing I could use the case for was the time, answering phone calls, voice dialing, and changing my volume. I really wanted to be able to see my sms / email notifications on screen.
Im also not a fan of the folding case in general yet. I'm not used to the folding and I often text with one hand so it makes it rather awkward to try and hold the case open in order to text.
I don't know though.. if I could use my own SMS / Gmail apps with it instead of the default HTC ones, I might want to use it again. Until then, its going to sit on my desk unused.

I have been using the HTC Dot View case for about 2 weeks now. Here are some simple pros and cons
Pros:
Look...Seamless and perfect compliment to the M8
Feel...plastic and rubber that seems like a good build
Protection...Fully covers screen with rubber "dot" flap and plastic back wraps the back and corners of the metal body of the phone
Alerts...Easy to read 8 bit type text and icons (looks great in the dark)
Cons:
Price...I got mine for $50 at an AT&T retail store
Dust/lint...gets trapped in the "dots" find myself using a can of BlowOff keeping it clean
Alert Limitations...can only use the HTC apps with this case
I would recommend if you have $50 to blow. I personally don't like 3rd party accessories so willing to pay for the HTC branded products. I love my DotView case but trying to provide a unbiased opinion.
I just got mine in the mail a week ago. So far, I love it. I just hope that HTC releases updates to allow third party notifications like Gmail, Facebook, etc. I would also really like if they could integrate a music player controls as well. But all in all, it's a great accessory to such an amazing device.
Anyone with a warm black dot view? Is it black or grey? Also if you can post the part number (you can find it on box backcover)
Anyone notice a couple of holes are kind of shiny inside? Like something is on the plastic film that's in the holes. Anyone cleaned theirs yet? Would water and soap be ok?

don't poke or remove the peices in the holes it keeps the stuff off it screen and I just wiped it down with some water it cleans up quite nicely I wouldn't use soap some soaps kill pixels so yah... No glass cleaner either my friend sprayed his with some trying to make it shinier it killed the Nfc tag in it
I think the idea behind the case is solid but its execution is flawed. Mine seems to loose its grip on the top corners as the plastic is too hard and needs a more grippy material. I've swapped 3 cases now. Its been mentioned before about the short hinge not letting the front sit flat on the back. I do love and find the display very useful. Hopefully a third party will be able to remedy the faults.

Overall disappointed. Sure it's a nice case and, feels good in the hand but the hinge on it makes it almost unusable for daily use. If you only open your phone a few times a day it's probably perfect but if you actually need to use the device totally annoying. Will return it.

Be careful not to drop the phone in this case. Dropped it less than a foot onto the top left edge, left a dent in the black plastic bar on top of the phone.
Next gen Dot View should have a flush foldover. Biggest detractor for me. Love it otherwise...only a matter of time before features are ported to aosp and more functions are added (gapps etc)
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
May or May not help, I noticed the phone has an Dot View app installed. That may all that is needed to get it working on another ROM. Seems to use a NPC chip. That is what I'm guess is detecting when the case is opened or closed. The HTC on the front lines up with the Small box on the inside.
I willing to sell mine too as holding it with one hand it not an option with this case.
anyone else having these symptoms? mine started out of nowhere, like 2 weeks into owning it lol go figure. it's on the right hand side near the volume and power buttons. if I'm holding with my right hand and I push down to tap on the screen, it creaks really bad. like, really bad and loud lol awful. wtf samsung? I never had these quality issues on the s3 or s4. stupid samsung.

Do you have the back warping as well? Hard to imagine what could be happening that would be so loud. No idea.
nope. back is perfectly level. it's just this one spot that's creaking. my old nexus 7 original did this as well, but that can be expected from a 200 dollar tablet... but not a "premium" tablet. oh well. annoying. it didn't do anything until like today, so it just wore out over time I guess? crappy but whatever. this is always an issue with samsung products i know, but it's the first time I've experienced it with a Samsung.

That's the problem with cheap trim. Looks good at first but then you always end up regretting it.
I checked my S 8.4 LTE for creaks, but I have the book cover on and don't ever want to go through the horror of putting it on again. So the only accessible area on the back is about half towards the side where the IR Blaster is, which is where you are having creaks on anyway.
I do not hear any creak on mine, pressed that whole exposed area, especially around the IR Blaster, the trim all around.
I wonder how big is the intel LTE modem is, cause I'm thinking, what if this is where the modem is located on the LTE model. So, for WiFi model, the modem would be missing and leaving an empty gap under the hood, and pressing against this area would flex the back plate resulting creaking.
Just making wild theories

Once you've put on and taken off the book cover a few times it becomes much easier. Just needs some breaking in.

Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level.

Do you have pics of your phone in the case rather than marketing images?
just wanna make sure your not advertising for them
The last time i used a Luphie case (similar to this) was on my Note 4 and it was terrible.
Looked great on my note 4!
but
1. effected signal badly
2. poor build quality (the lock mechanism was loose and only got looser as time went on)
3. the back glass cracked extremely easily, i didnt even drop it one day i took it out my pocket and it was cracked.
once it cracked it destroyed the only thing it had going for it (the looks) was dissapointed!
if they have fixed all these issues then it looks pretty nice

It has a lip, something like 0.5 mm. Maybe a little less.

On AliExpress
The Ebay seller ships from china too, i think.
How tight fit is this bumper and back glass? I had on the patchworks level ITG case on mine, dropped from a 3ft bathroom sink, landed in the corner and cracked the screen even with the tempered glass on! I could not use the phone for a week until I realized the display was separated from the gorilla glass panel so I pried it up so it can "glue" back. Thank god I got Square trade warranty.
I have yet to find a good case to protect it since. My guess was the more tight fit the case, there is less room for shock absorption so it goes straight to the phone itself.

Well the phone is not moving around within the case. But the inside of the aluminium frame and the metal frame of the tempered glass back are covered with a foam material. That's necessary to not scratch our Note 8 for sure and it should prevent the phone from being broken if it drops. Anyway this is not a hardcore drop survivor case like the UAG cases are, i think. I've already searched for a drop test, but wirhout success. There are some aluframe test, but not for one of these.
If the community donates me another Note 8 i'll try that for you guys for sure
The Mi Mix i have owned was covered by a Luphie metal bumper having the same material inside. It dropped once out of the carmount between seat and middle console onto the metal mount of the Recaros. Just a tiny mark on the metal frame, but nothing happened to the phone! The corner it dropped onto, perfect condition. Remember, the Mix is ceramic! These frames definitly offer a decent protection. It's for sure a high quality aluminium.

As you can see on the pictures of my phone (last two attached pictures), yes. The rebranded one Zizo offers has a Zizo Text and the bottom text. The top one is missing if i remember right. Well, if you don't like the writing, don't buy this case.
My mother droptested it for me in the meantime. From the wireless charger, around 75cm height, onto a wood floor. Well, everything fine, no scratches, simply zero damage.

Here's a very nice metal bumpercase I've bought at AliExpress. It looks outstanding, offers a decent protection level and the manucaturing quality is on a very high level. Signal quality is perfect like the manufacturer promises. The case is available in serveral color, black, gold, blue, etc. It is offered for a very reasonable price around 15€.

Especially for you. Added two pictures showing my device with one of your custom AOD backgrounds.

Nice case! Just cancelled mine after heaeing feedbacks on the GPS glitch when used with this case on. I wonder if you've experienced that? Especially, when inside the car?
