Customer Review

If you decide to have for such a part (in fact one sees so like a dork), it should also be properly constructed. In this case, the developers did not forget that the phone at the bottom has three hardware keys. It is quite common that cover the Home button activated. For this purpose it is sufficient, when pressure is applied to the front side of the casing somewhere in the lower third. If you want to avoid this, we must grasp the device and its case very carefully, which is the opposite of what you hoped for by a sheath. With thoughtful design remedy would have been easy to create, a cutout or a hole at the position of the home button would have been enough.

Addition: After the part a few days lying around (and I was too lazy to return it) and its practical uselessness had demonstrated impressively in a few more attempts, I finally step to help themselves. The problem actually comes from the fact that the Chinese have (or Indians) simply adopted the case for the normal S 4 (without hardware keys), wherein the leather case for lack of capacitive characteristics can press nothing for Activa.

I have now simply enlarged the opening for the USB port. That just goes with piercing or punch. Chisel was just not at hand, but a 16-mm-punch. Thus the cut-out has been increased to about 30 mm x 30 mm. An appropriately sized hole iron would have made it a bit easier, but it went well. The small inaccuracies in the outline were then removed with a cutter (on Proxxon or Drehmel-Bohrschleifer); Use a file and sandpaper that would be gone. Result: Home button is released, it expresses nothing more and nothing turns unintentionally one (and the device looks to the shell like a dork phone).

Addendum after six months usage: The shell has decomposed, plastic mount for the phone was only cracks, then broke away parts. Starting with damage.
