I am actually quite looking forward to it for the time being: Cool idea, unusual appearance, finally a natural material and no plastic! Positively assessed feel my outpost.
After attaching itself but showed at the back where the two halves meet each case and snap, an ugly, aufklaffender gap and a stage - the two parts do not fit flush together.
To charge the envelope must then be removed again, otherwise neither the flap of the Micro-USB jack can be opened, nor the magnetic charging contacts are due to the wall thickness of the Case 'accessible - annoying.
And here's the fat:
When removing the case ', the vonstattengeht very stiff (you feel damaging the Z1 - and no, I have no additional screen films on it), this is broken along the bamboo grain in two halves and the inadequate glued plastic clip at the inside which is to hold together the two halves has come loose.
Conclusion:
Case-total loss and scratches on the back of my otherwise good as new Z1!
A Case to protect your phone and damage but not further!
What happens if the mobile phone with these brittle shell times neat bangs on the floor, one would prefer not to imagine.
I surmise times that the hard and brittle material pressing bamboo is simply not suitable as casing material - full stop.
... Or I caught a lemon?
This case goes back anyway - a pity!
A star you have to click evidently - I would rather forgive honestly no.
Let's see how the dealer assesses my redemption request and handles - I may post it then also subsequently.
ADDENDUM (April 3, 2014):
After all, thumbs up! - The actual quality of dealers we learn mostly in the event of a complaint.
Very fast, friendly and understanding unwinding from merchant KW-commerce.
Money comes back remitted, defective goods are disposed of by me. Stop on both sides laborious administration work, been nothing but expenses - and I still have no ordinary case.
Therefore, in conclusion: Miserable quality at Bamboo Case, however, serious and of good traders, but as a trader, I would consider whether I ever keep this Bamboo Case in range.
