[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Tanis64:
I have bought my first Otterbox in 2013 when it was released for the Galaxy S4 (I9505) at this time no curved glass was used so the Otterbox Hardplastic part didn't touch any glass corners.

After a few months the soft outer shell was bended more and more. So the outer shell sits very lose and didn't fit any more correctly.

I read in some forums then to shortly cook the outer shell to shrink it, this had helped a little for a while.

I then change the Otterbox to the most perfect case I ever own for a smartphone to the Trident Kraken A.M.S.

This case was Perfect, coming in three parts a soft TPU inner shell and hardplastic combined with softer TPU outer shell and a hardplastic brezel with the build in screenprotector.

All sits perfect and the screenprotector fits much better than that of the Otterbox.

With the curved glass everything changes to worse, curved glass is much more vulnerable than none curved glass for impact damages.

For my Note8 I thought I give Otterbox a second chance, but also here the outer shell is to soft and become lose after 2 weeks.

Also I agree to that that a hardcover inner shell wich has direct contact to the Note8 curved glass corners will give nearly the complete impact force to the curved corners.

So a good case has to take special care to the corners.

I also owned the original Samsung Protective Standing Case and the UAG Monarch.

The UAG Monarch has a softer inner TPU shell, but it is a little to soft on the top, sides and bottom, also the button spares are real cuts in the shell which I personally don't like much.

I using the Protective case from Samsung now wich for me fits perfect.

But also here I think the corners could be better protected.

I order a SUPCASE [Unicorn Beetle PRO Series] Case which seems to have a better corner protection and also a build in screen protector (no glass). I give it a try since the reviews to it on YouTube looks good, and it was not expensive with 20,- $/€.

Seems to be a common occurrence bc this JUST happened to me only on the bottom left corner. Has anyone tried going thru otter box yet to see if there is anything they can do? It's Christmas I'm a single mom of 3 and I can't afford to pay my insurance deductible at the moment, so I'll have to deal with getting slivers of glass in my hands until I come up with an extra $225 for the claim. This is total BS. I've had many notes prior to this and always ended up taking my otter box off bc the outside always stretched and fell apart. I've dropped my caseless phone from various heights onto a multitude of hard surfaces, including concrete and asphalt, every way imaginable with nothing more than a scuff. This stupid thing falls from the top of one of those Rubbermaid 3 drawer units (which cant be more than 3 ft high) onto my bathroom floor, onto it's back...and now my phone is ruined! You would think their products that we instill our faith into, would be less shoddy and far more sturdy when encasing $1000 phones! There has to be something we can do because this is unacceptable. I will update with pics shortly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Blues fan:
I don't think it's because of the design of the Defender case. I've noticed with a lot of the popular cases people's phones are still having the corners shattered when dropped a certain way. I think it's the way the phone is designed.

I have the Caseology Legion and people are having the same corners shatter when dropped based on Amazon reviews.

Personally I hated the curved screen and all class body. I'd rather have a flat screen and plastic back. Besides most sane people use cases on these phones so what is the point of making the back glass if you put a gigantic case on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Good points raised and probably a fair assumption I'd say.

Im thinking if perhaps the cases had thicker corners or edges with a more absorbing rubber materials it might help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Blues fan:
That's the hard part though. guarding the corners and sides with the curved screen.

Regarding the sides, last years Tech 21 Tactical extreme XT sides raised up to the edges on the Note 7. They no longer make the XT cases for Samsung but for the iPhone, go figures. It's the only tech 21 case I'd consider using.

IMO the Defender is still probably the best case to go with for these phones. It provides the best side protection.

The Pelican Voyger has high sides but the case overall is pure garbage and the case breaks when dropped or even taking the phone out.

otter box broke 2 Samsung 8 screens

My son and I have matching Samsung 8 with matching real tree otter boxes what a joke both his and I had the screens break mine bottom right his bottom left all because of the Otterbox. Otterbox was no help at all took no responsibility and still has not taken any responsibility after several phone calls to them including where I got told that their supervisor had no one above her that I could speak to. I've been waiting for real tree to call me back because it's a license real tree product I think the only reason we found out it was the phone case in this matter was because we had the exact same phone exact scene case did exact same thing on opposite corners of the bottom I'm absolutely disgusted with Otterbox of this time. My phone was dropped <3' on to my bed mattress and my sons was dropped <3' onto his floor on carpeting and they both hit the corners of the Otterbox and the damage occurred underneath the Otterbox is where it spreads out from under protective corners botj of us have spider webs from the curved corner of Samsung 8 along it underneath the Otterbox protection but Otterbox takes no responsibility for it. Otterbox had a design flaw and now they won't take responsibility for it which is even more disturbing I would suggest anyone else had this problem please reply below mine as a camel black and Orange case as well as my sons being the same licensed by real tree I plan on calling the Better Business Bureau as well as other departments at federal levels for maybe consumer product safety commission. Because both of us have glass shards coming out into our hands.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] BigMosley:
I would try out OtterBox's new "Pursuit Series" case..... if they would make it for the Note8 also and not just the S9 & S9+.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] smiley45:
My otterbox defender is the best case ever. I drop my phone twice weekly . Been following the thread form the 1st post. So for those of you with this problem just lay toilet paper inside the hard shell. It will act like an extra layer of absorbent defense to your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] GRanow64:
OtterBox caused my Note 8 to crack on corner.

Every phone I have purchased since 2005, I have used OtterBox on. ( My wife and I ) and I got her a new phone every4 to 6 months. Anyway

Otter box for the Galaxy Note 8 is junk. My phone fell out of my holster 3 foot to the ground and broke the top right-hand corner of my phone. OtterBox if you read this I am very disappointed in your piss-poor design for the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] volcolm:
Can confirm, Otterbox is junk.

The port protector rubber just simply peeled right off in one week. I cannot press buttons on this case properly either because of gradual degradation of the vol+/- rubber grip.

The inner plastic itself has just simply snapped without any impact.

Well, at least it was only $30 for me (almost every case is around the same price due to resellers gouging prices).

I have had a film protector on the back of it - it does not slide around.

I used to have one for a Note 2 (when Defender cases had the screen protector), and later on a Moto G. Not the same materials on this case, clearly cheaped out on materials.

Unfortunately you're buying a brand name and not quality anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] Angryatotter:
We should start a class action lawsuit against otterbox. They owe many people new phones for their **** design. The issue with the defender case is the design. Hard plastic is up against glass. The plastic does not yield when impacted, causing breakage. Lets sue the bastards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] ScreenRevenant:
Really.....

How about not trying to balance your phone on your shoulder and then complaining when it falls and breaks. Seriously, these case are meant to help protect and are NOT a guarantee of phone protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] fuqstiq:
serious but obvious design flaw

i had mine 3 months with an otterbox defender and mine fell from waist high when my leg knocked it out of my hand and it landed face down it hit the plastic front part of the 2 part case and my phone took the impact not the case. i had defenders on my other note3. 4, &5 and they were the best out there because the rubber took the impact. Upon calling otterbox in colorado to discuss the matter of an obvious, from the first day i bought the case, design flaw they insisted that they were "Rigorously tested?and asked if i was an engineer. lol. i said because had they made the outside rubber over lap the plastic front rim of the frame instead of bring it only parallel to the side it wouldnt have broke. " they couldnt do that because then it would have interfered with the side bars" but it was an incident that has probably happened to quite a few people at least once. holding the phone face down and dropping it with the case on it 10000x should have been the first test otterbox performed. plain and simple they dont know how to protect the "Infinity Screen" . i asked well there is the otterbox gurantee? they said "they will replace their case if it breaks but your phone but they aint paying for a new screen". i told them i should have used a lifeproof case cuz at least, during their inception anyway, they guranteed your phone if their case failed. i was then told that Otterbox owns LifeProof and that policy no longer existed. i felt like i just got punked on the playground. im still furious everytime someone says otterbox.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] James.Markham0757:
Does anyone know if the Mnml case will fit inside the plastic of part of the OtterBox case? Maybe more protection. I have the pro series and I don't want my phone to break.

---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:19 AM ----------

I noticed as soon as I got the case it was not the same quality as my flat s7 OtterBox. On the s7 case there was a nice thick layer of rubber that was on the back plastic panel that wrapped the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories] James.Markham0757:
I bought this case at full price just recently ( OtterBox Defender Pro ) and I'm afraid to even keep my phone in it :(

Hello , i own Honor 9 for 3 days and its very good phone.

Only thing that i "hate" is when i press home button there is like 0.5 sec. delay before it goes to main screen...

I tried Factory reset,phone restart,google assist turned off - nothing seems to work

Finger print scanner works fast. No problem with it.

FW: B150

Any ideas how to fix it?

Thanks
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Docxsido:
That because a simple touch is like previous. And if you hold for a second you go directly to main page. So it's normal
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] dannejanne:
Mine has the same. Strange thing is that after a few hours usage it turns fast/instant all of a sudden. Then if I reboot it's back to the delay and then fast again after a little time. My first unit did not have this behaviour it was fast at all times. It had a faster fingerprint reader too. Not sure what is going on other than some kind of hardware differences.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Rashmi9658:

[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Kkozi:
I have the same problem. Is it really an hardware problem and it is not possible to fix it by software?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] fringerator:
Same here. Sometimes it even stops working, but rebooting brings it back (to delayed mode). Unlocking with fingerprint scanner always works super fast though. Anyone else with the same issue?
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] Honor9Fan:
I got my AL10 version from china some days ago and i dont have any delay issues with the home button. Its really fast without any delay.

Maybe the ones from you that got problems should write down their version and used firmware. So we can compare. I dont think that this is a hardware issue.
[Honor 9  Questions & Answers] johnforce:
I just assumed it was a hardware issue as it stayed even though I did a factory reset. Maybe a future update fixes it but I wouldn't risk it because my phone was new and I wanted one that was all good.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] mbp1865:
Coming from a 6p where I was able to edit a couple values in mixer_paths.xml to increase output volume. Once I got the PXL rooted I was unable to get the same results modifying values in the system files, but the directory seems to be set up differently and I found multiple locations with a mixer paths file and didn't want to go through all of them in a trial and error.

Is there a mixer paths file that I can edit and increase the volume? If not, is there another method to increase volume? I looked into some audio mods(Viper4Android) but couldn't get them to work, seemingly because in on 8.0.

EDIT: I'm looking to increase volume in Play Music, I heard another file(maybe audio effects) may effect it's volume independently of mixer paths.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TBacker:
Did you ever find a solution? I'm running a nougat ROM, and changes to the mixer_paths file in /system/etc have no effect. I even made some drastic changes to test and no effect. I've successfully modified mixer_paths before on other phones, so I have some idea what I'm doing, but this thing has me scratching my head.

It's like the phone doesn't use that file. There has to be one somewhere...

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] TBacker:
I'm aware of viper. I like to use it lightly for multimedia, but I don't like having to leave Selinux permissive.

Using Viper to boost levels works by doing some heavy compression & limiting which I'm personally not a fan of. I prefer the final gain be higher on the speaker / earpiece amps, but the audio system on PXL roms seems to have limited gain adjustment options that work (mixer_paths).

My biggest issue was earpiece / handset gain (I work in noisy environments). I'm using the ElementalX kernel now which has a gain adjustment that works.
