case mod

I've had my fosion case now for about a week and i love it. I had to remove the sharp edges with a razor and sandpaper though.

The only downside was that the case attracted finger proints pretty easily. me being a little bit ocd, i had to clean it often.

After a few days, my case had some scratches on the backside, probably from my jeans and so i thaught, f*ck it, i'll sand off the back window.

you might now say thats a stupid idea, sanding off the beautifull, shiny, glossy back of the case, plus you kinda destroy the purpose of this case, being transparent. Well maybe, but scratches look awfull and i've always liked matte surfaces much more than glossy, so i gave the sandpaper a try. I had some grit 600 sandpaper lying around so i sanded off the back. the corners with the little feet were a bit tricky, but with a litle bit of patience i finally got it to an acceptable stage.

I have to say, the feel iproved immensly imho. it isn't glossy and fingerprinty anymore but really fine and smooth, like the sides of the case. I think it looks good, you can't see through as well as before, but the fact that you dont see any finger prints at all makes up for it, plus the scratches are gone. The nexus logo is still visible in the right light. I will post pictures this evening since i'm at work (yeah, it's a really slow day :)).

In conclusion I don't regret polishing the back with sandpaper and if you also hate fingerprints and like matte surfaces, it is a valid oprtion to do so imo.

Ok i received my package today. I ordered the Gray, Black, and Clear. Heres the my preference

1.Clear- i absolutely love this one. they fixed all the gripes of the black and gray. no sharp edge they added rubber underneath the headphone jack. no more dust!!:good::victory:

2. Black- still has a sharp edge not to terrible though.

3.Gray- seriously sharp edges. not sharp enough to cut me though. im considering using this color to try and soften up the edges. people have claimed its worked.

got any questions? just ask.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] midgarsormr:
Got the black one. I do really like this case with the clear back.

so here are the pics of the sanded ringke fusion case. i just picked up the finest sanding paper from a store, which was 600.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] midgarsormr:
Actually kinda looks awesome.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Does the clear one feel like the black clear back does, just all over the phone? I find the clear back a bit slippery but love the soft touch feel of the black bumper.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jerflash:
i would like to know the same thing. that clear one looks pretty cool. I have the black but the dust that gets under there sucks for my white nexus 5

Hello I want to know if there is a file that I can download to create a mask to put on the Back like The spigen ultra hybrid

somebody posted one earlier in the thread.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
They're a bit different in my opinion. The black has a matte finish and the clear is a smoother rubber finish. But don't get me wrong it still feels Great. The whole reason I got the clear one is because I ordered dbrands skin skins and I ell like that one will show case it best.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Just got my clear one and its great I do appreciate the dust covering on the USB and headphone ports it should prevent dust from getting in there so easily! It looks great with a skin im using it with a white Cruzerlite skin.

*I have an extra one that I'm not gonna use if anyone is interested in it? Id take 9.50 shipped just PM if youre interested. Thnaks

BTW its brand new with the protective films on it I just opened it to check it was the right one.

*Again If anyone is interested to purchase my extra brand new one just PM me. (Ill edit my thread about this when it sells)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DeGygii:
the clear one looks nice. i would be worrued about staining though, since i only had bad experiences with transparent tpu and turning yellow-ish. can you report after some time how it holds up?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Only the border is TPU the back is hard plastic and so far so good Ive had it for about a week and it seems like higher quality TPU than other clear ones Ive had.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Amo_rphis:
I have on my N4 for like 5-6 months,just some scraches on external back ,but clear transparent still.

nexus logo file

For those who are interested: i uploaded the file with the nexus logo, so you can just print it and cut out using the template from ringke.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SedyBenoitPeace:
Guys today I received this great cover! This is amazing but I have one question... When I take a photo with and it has flash, the flash light up all the cover! Is this normal? I also tried to take photo with and without the cover but I don't see any big difference... I want only to know if it's normal! Thanks in advance

Inviato dal mio Nexus 5 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Which color did you choose? Clear? If so then yes that's normal the light has to go somewhere and with it being all clear it shows more than an opaque edge. I have the clear the black and the gray and the light diffuses with all but it isn't as noticeable with my black and gray. Of its not harming the out come off your photos then you have nothing to worry about. :D

How you copy the Image on the template? And what kind of print parer you use for that?

[Nexus 5 Accessories] SedyBenoitPeace:
Well yes i have the clear... It seems that the photos are not affected.. I made two photos with and without the case it doesn't seem that they are different! I was asking only for an opinion and if someone noticed problems in the photos because the spigen covers that have this problem well the affect the photo! But however if is normal I will not worry about :)

If anyone using can tell me ...That if button pressing is hard with this cover. I heard that ringke fusion have some difficulty in pressing buttons but ringke hybrid fo it well.

Plz some one clear this confusion.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SedyBenoitPeace:
I will answer to your question... I have the cover only from yesterday and I can tell you that the buttons are really soft to press like if the cover isn't on the phone! Guys this cover is really nice! I like my phone better than without the cover!

Second one

Hey people,

Has anyone else had Quality Control issues with this case? I'm on my second one now. The first one had sharp edges around the entire perimeter in the front. This second one has gaps around the button areas. Where the case should sit flush over the buttons, it has a significant amount of give and there are noticeable gaps by the power and volume buttons. Should I bother getting a third one? (second was sent to me free of cost)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DeGygii:
i have these gaps too, i think they are intended to make the buttons press nicer. i guess that's the reason the buttons are so nice.

Anyone know how to email rearth? I have sent 2 emails to the address on their page and both have been sent back undeliverable.

Support@rearthusa.com is the address on the site that keeps failing.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
So you got them to send you a free one because of the edges? Interesting. The button gap is as intended.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AliLaPointe:
Yup. Gave them a call and told them that the case was really sharp. They sent a new one that was much better, but this one has gaps. Sending them both back to Amazon tomorrow and awaiting my iblason
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Do you mean the gaps beside the buttons? Even SPG started doing it to their cases after their button fiasco. The gap allows the plastic material to "hug" the real button giving you similar size and feel as the button underneath.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] d11dog11:
Anyone?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
rearthus@gmail.com

try that. good luck getting anywhere with them though.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AliLaPointe:
Referring to the gap on the lip of the case. It separates the case from the bezel.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] aboveusonlysky:
Anyone having issues with a case good luck getting anywhere with this company. I've had a ticket open for a while now and it seems like they just forget to reply and when I say something about it on Facebook they immediately get back to me all eager to help. When they email me back it's like we start at square 1 though. Ernesto is the guy that emailed me and he has asked me what my issue is with my case no joke 4 times. Its getting ridiculous.

Edit: after the email I sent this morning I got a reply back stating that they were sending me a new one free of charge

What I found is that the edges are very sharp and its hard to hold on to for too long, and the headphone jack

doesn't fit and the gap there lets a lot of dust into the back of the case.

Anyone want to buy a brand new Clear View Ringke Fusion case? I have an extra new one to sell for 9 bucks shipped so let me know and I have a post here aswell so you can check it out. http://androidforums.com/classifieds/816306-sale-9-nexus-5-case-ringke-fusion-crystal-view.html
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
No return necessary? Good to hear. BTW how long since you bought it?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _jordan_:
Edit: when I got this case, the bottom bezel of the device was slightly visible. I figured that since the case is plastic, and easily bendable, it probably just got stretched out when I installed it.

When I got home, I held the case, with the device inside, near my space heater for just a few seconds. This was enough to warm the case, allowing me to press it around the device. After a few seconds of pressing, I took a non wet ice pack from the fridge, and gently used it to cool the edge of the case while applying minor pressure to hold the bezel in its proper shape.

Doing this greatly improved the fit of the case around my device. It now holds its intended shape, completely covering all sides and bezels of the device.

I don't find the edges sharp in the least, however the clear glass back is easy to smudge. Make sure it and the phone are thoroughly clean before you put on the case.

Drop protection should be good since it fits tightly and has a stiff lip. The buttons press very well.. A complaint I've had with other cases with stiff buttons.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] d11dog11:
Correct, I keep the one I have and they are shipping a replacement. I'll report if the edges are better on the replacement.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] giovedì:
what you mean with sharp edge?

can you post a photo?

I received my fusion today, and only 2 edges are perfect, the other 2 have some imperfection.

i just want to figured out if this is what you call sharp edges.

thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
Around the entire "rim" of the case it can feel sharp sometimes. I believe Ringke has improved on this aspect now which was the only downside of this case. There were also minor corner imperfections as you describe though they don't seem to effect the feel in hand.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] floepie:
Where did you hear this? I thought they the fusion and the hybrid cases are one and the same. It's called the Fusion Hybrid case, no?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
Guys I am about to order this case..but I have only one concern..how is the transparent back faring of your cases..is it getting scratched up easily?..thats the only concern I have coz its a transparent plastic back..thanks
[Nexus 5 Accessories] _jordan_:
^ honestly I didn't like this case. Back scratched easily and it was flimsy.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bluefalcon13:
I got one for 8 bucks off amazon last week. Only complaint is they sent me the mint one, and not the black one I ordered.... Mint is kinda ugly to me. The customer service guy I spoke with said they will send me out a black one free of charge (and I get to keep the fugly mint one as well....)

Other than the order issue, not a huge fan of the back, but still it was only 8 bucks. Gonna order a cruzerlite tpu next paycheck, in android green, cause I loved the one I had for my galaxy nexus :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caelrie:
Mine turned yellow in about a month.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
How come it turned yellow..do u have the clear one?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Caelrie:
Yah, I have the clear one. All clear TPU cases will eventually yellow, but most take months. The Ringke case took a mere 3ish weeks.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
I've been using mine for about 2 months, zero scratches or discoloration on the clear back. I place my phone clear side down, but this case has raised corners to protect the back as well.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
Ohh..u should have gone for the black one coz no matter wat brand it is all clear tpu cases turn yellow..thats y I ordered the black one..

Thanks..Its such a relief to hear that n ya I have ordered the black one n I plan to lay my phone on the screen always as this case has a lip..so this way I would always be seeing the beautiful Nexus logo all the time and protecting the transparent back at the same time from any scratches..

Thumbs down Rearth Fusion Cover for N5

Purchased one of these cases early December and found that the edges around the case was very sharp and my ear phone plug wouldn't fit

and dust could get into the back of the case so I complained and got the reply below . Does anyone know if they have fixed these problems.

New reply for the ticket #PS00002719

Hello Sir,

We are sorry for the inconvenience. What we can do is place a 20% discount to your order

for the sharp edges. Also the headphone jack hole is made for the standard 3.5 mm headphone.

You could experience some problems if the headphone or the headphone molding area is bigger than the 3.5 mm standard.

Kind Regards,

JT Rearth USA

Ringke Fusion Headphone Connection

Guys i am buying the nexus 5 in like a day or two , wanted to know do the earphones fit in nicely with the Ringke Fusion case ? or should I buy another case? AM thinking of buying White nexus 5 With Ringke fusion case clear back. Please help me about the Earphone Connection , I have heard that earphones dont fit in with the case .. is it true?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
The case is perfect for me..My Apple earpods and Klipsch s4i both fit perfectly without any issues..they both have straight jacks so no issues here..n the clear back looks awesome..shows off the beautiful back of N5..so it depends upon your earphones now..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Inventer:
I stay in India so ill get the default earphones in the box . do they fit properly ? if not ill have to consider buying apple earpods . Please let me know.. your input is valuable .. on the verge of ordering the nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
I am from India too(Delhi)..but the fact is that the bundled earphones are complete junk..so u will have to a pair of good earphones ..and instead of going for apple earpods go for sennheiser cx-300ii ..they are amazing for their price..check out the reviews on flipkart if u want to..I have apple earpods coz I had an iPhone 5 before this ..

Hey, does the tpu of the clear type of fusion turns yellow over time? Looking to get one, but too worried that it might turn yellow after some time...:(
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
It might be too early to say for sure but it's been almost 3 months and I see no yellowing or scratches on the clear back.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
I think u mean the all clear variant..clear on the sides too..n ya it will coz the sides are made of tpu material and clear tpu turns yellown no matter what..so in a month it will turn yellow..get a black one instead..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ck.chunkeat:
yea that was what I'm afraid of, but did anyone here buy the ultra hybrid clear type? did your case turn yellow at the tpu part?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ryukiri:
Did anyone experience this case scratching the colors off the phone like stated in the first comment here?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
Well not yet..its been 15 days..and i don't think it will..coz the sides are tpu and rather soft tpu ..people have reported that even when they dropped their phone with this case on then also the corners of the case or the back of the case took the entire impact and got minor scuffs too but the phone inside remained shining new as it was before..
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ryukiri:
Gotcha, thanks :) I'll probably order it soon :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
Yup go for it..I am pretty happy..it isnt bulky and still protects the phone while showing of the great looking back..I have a Spigen Slim Armor too and that's way too bulky..used it for a few days and never put it on again after using Ringke :)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ryukiri:
ohh okay. I don't really care about bulkiness, i just want a good case that has a clear back (so i can maybe use my own designs) and keeps the phone in perfect condition since i usually don't drop things ;)
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Techimplant:
In that case this case is all you need :D ..do post some pics with your designs on :thumbup:

Your best way to root and unlock the bootloader is the Casual method. It roots, unlocks and even installs a recovery like CWM or TWRP. However read up a bit. It's always good to get somewhat knowledgeable before barreling into something.

hello guys,

How do I insert a PAUSE in the dialing process, since i'm using a calling card and I need to insert that

thank you so much and Merry Xmas to all of you

Nico
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bolasz:
Just insert a "p" to the desired place.You can use multiple "p"s for a longer pause.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bruxelles5:
?? exemple I want to dial :

0800 pause 123456

I create a contact with number 0800 p 123456

or 0800 "p" 123456

doI need the "" in between ? do I need space between P and number ?

thanks man
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bolasz:
Without quotes:

0800p123456

Using spaces is up to you,they don't affect dialing.

thanks man
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bolasz:
Most welcome!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cheshirecat:
Besides "p", you can also use "w", which presumably stands for "wait".

The difference is that while "p" pauses for about 0.5 seconds, "w" will pause indefinitely until you hit the green phone button. I use "w" for some of my dialing cards if I find it difficult to time the voice prompts exactly. :D
