Clearing stocks for the 6T most prolly lol.

Got my ringke fusion case today.
It's not bad but there's 2 major drawback...
The speaker volume is noticibly lower now, I have a hard time listening to foot steps while playing pubg.
Another issue is that it's impossible to switch my alert slider...
I literally have to remove the case to switch them

Most probably gonna get another case, any recommendation for clear case?

If your buttons work well you might have the "revision" version (yeah the buttons used to be even worse lol). If you use an art knife or something to shave a bit of the material from the "inside-top" of the slider opening, it should work a bit better.

Otherwise, yeah, that's pretty much it. A good thing is the Fusion has a decent amount of front lip... which is more I could say for a whole bunch of other cases out there. For example, the Sedio Optik / Capas clear case has better buttons, cutouts and a zero-rainbow back... but for me it has no lip at all lol (check front page for a link to my review on the casenunder "Acessories").

Oh, there ARE the Supcase UB Style (aka the Beetle) and the Orzly Fusion cases, but I haven't tested any of them yet so no idea if they are viable alternatives. The Orzly has a clear back with no bumps though, which means RAINBOW PARTY!

yep installed morning but I don't understand why ub become rooted.

Yeah I plan to cut the slider opening a bit...
Either that or I will just sell it while it's still fresh and buy another case haha

Orzly case looks good, I will try that

It might rainbow badly though, due to the no-bump back. Just FYI. Personally think the Supcase UB Style would work better in that regard, but it has flush buttons unfortunately.

I got mine latest version of fusion clear is updated with fixed for alert slider and volume. so far so good. smoke black is not updated tho.

What does flush button mean?
Anw "rainbow" refers to the reflective rainbow-ish tone on the cover right?
How does no bump create rainbow effect?
Apologize, I'm a bit blur

Actually "rainbow" here refers to that yucky, oil-like effect that you get when a clear, non-bumped plastic/TPU case back gets into contact with the glossy back glass of a phone. It's like how a bad, non full adhesive TGSP looks like when you push down.

The bumps keeps the two layers apart, or at least tries to, so the effect is minimised. Look at the back of your Ringke case to see how these bumps look like.

The rainbow "tone" is another thing but eyyy that's not really an issue as it is usually only present under certain angles. The oil "rainbow"? You can clearly see it no matter what angle you look at it lol, so yeah you don't want it.

As for "flush" buttons, well they're buttons that don't physically poke out on the cases. Some of them are marked with texturing or cuts but they don't rise out from the sides, and are of the same level. I find these types of buttons a bit harder to feel for so I don't really like them... but they can be "okay" when done right.

prokiller1199 Actually, my Smoke unit does seem "partly" updated. The buttons are awesome (they have cuts in them like the Spigen vs the fully uncut original release) but the slider cutout is still pretty meh lol.

So I modded the cutout with a razor (and the back panel with some stickers as even with bumps, my ClearCoated back is pretty rainbow-prone) and it's soldiering on well as my backup case now.

Noted with thanks, I will skip that one then haha

Missed the "flush" question though, have edited my initial response with info on that too.

check attachment.

I gave up on my defective ringke fusion clear case that bought thru Shopee

Now using Spigen rugged case + X-One SP and never look back

Hmmm, then the buttons have cuts in them even in V1? Then I don't really understand the previous issue with them as they work fine this way. Was under the impression that they didn't have the cuts to begin with.

Or did the rep only mean updates to the alert slider cutout (check the reply you posted: "only fixed the alert slider cutout...")? Because yeah the one I got did have a shitty cutout. Only the buttons seemed improved (even if they were).

luckily I bought through official store from Lazada. now can slide with fingers at least.

hmm.my button is fine.

On V1? Or V2? Because I really thought the issue with the pre-revision models were shitty buttons AND the crappy alert slider cutout.

If I was wrong then it's fine lol. The my razor DIY fixes are sufficient anyway for the alert slider to work, and for a backup case that's already fine for me.

A shame they're not updating the smoke though.

mine first bought and the latest, the volume button no problem. the alert slider is the main problem for me . I think it's v1 assuming v2 is the latest now. razor op.

Ahhhhh. Then it's just the alert slider that's the issue then. OK dokey.

So yeah, I can now concur that the Smoke is all old stock then lol.

yes. smoke black need to avoided since the alert slider cutout is not yet fixed .

Does UAG case works well with alert slider?
