Hi guys, would like to share my day 1 experience with the Zizo Bolt case as it just came in today after about 3 weeks of waiting. Very satisfied with the overall purchase (USD 44 inclusive of promo code, shipping, tracking & insurance). It came with extra accessories such as a holster that doubles as a front cover too, lanyard that can be attached to the case, and the best item - a tempered glass that actually works.

My daily armor has been the Spigen Air Liquid which is significantly slimmer and lighter hence this is quite a change. Actually planning to use Zizo mostly for traveling (rushing leads to high probability of dropping one's phone).

The Good
1. Value for money - came with many goodies!
2. TG was easy to install, fits well with the casing (TG doesn't end up being forced out - was impressed that it even fit with my Spigen Air Liquid), no significant dip in touch sensitivity (not even with the SPEN).
3. Extremely solid build with easy access to the fingerprint scanner (even better than Spigen's cutout).
4. Color range is impressive.
5. Wireless charging works despite the added thickness of the case!
6. Good grip, and satisfactory protection thus far (phone faced down, the screen does not come into contact with the table because of higher corners of the case).
7. An inconspicuous stand which allows landscape viewing.

The Bad
1. Side buttons are not very responsive, you gotta press slightly harder than usual but I'm hoping this will ease in a couple of days.
2. Due to thickness/cutout of case, accessing the SPEN can affect the experience for some users with maybe uhh chubby fingers.
3. Phone can be slightly difficult to remove due to how secure the casing is.
4. Definitely bad match for tight pants/your slim cuts/skinny jeans.

hey!! just bought a note8 yesterday, i got a question regarding the screen color correction.

-my phone screen already install a hoda 9h screen protector.

not sure why my phone got a yellowish tint to it. i can tell because i put side by side with my xiaomi note phone. i can tell is abit yellowish compare to my xiaomi.

when i on the blue filter. the whole screen get super yellowish orange.
@.@
another thing when i go advance and tweak between cold and warm.
-slide to warm, the color become colder
-slide to cold, the color become warmer

@.@ what is happening. does anyone here encounter the same problem? or is this a problem?

thank you sifu!

As far as comparing screens, you should compare with another Note 8. Your Xiaomi phone can be calibrated more blueish so thats why you see the Note 8 as mroe yellow when maybe it is normal

Mgt also be your screen protector

But never heard of the colour slider peoblem. Sounds weird

you screen turn yellowish only after you turn on the blue filter or even before that? As I know it suppose to be like that if you turn on the blue filter on. I only set the blue filter auto on from sunset to sunrise and also during my reading on ebook.

Really? You mean at the pump itself? Or need to go inside and pay first then only come out and pump?
