Rearth Hybrid Fusion Case

[maxod]

It is now shipping apparently. Hope it is not defective like their first version of the Ringke Slim.

Just ordered two, hope it works as nice as it looks. Said mine would be delivered 19th-21st of Feb. Gonna be a long wait

 

[Nicksterr]

Say's mine's shipped already.

Say's mine's shipped already.

Yup. Got my shipping conformation email today, but the tracking number doesn't work. So we shall see when I get it.

 

[minnemike]

mine says shipped and then if you look closer it says, shipping date Feb 15. So it has not in fact shipped and the estimated availability date of 2-15 is still on queue. I think they pulled the old create shipping labels to process payment before actually shipping it trick.

 

[swebb]

And now it's showing unavailable. Not even an estimated ship date. Was looking forward to this case. Hope it eventually comes out.

On amazon it seems up for preorder again but has moved from Feb 15 to Feb 20. Why do I feel this is going to be like the ionic guardian case all over again?

It looks like it could be very slippery.

Just pre-ordered on Amazon. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Hope it's a good one.

 

[Kaenon]

Yeah - not available. Although I did find the price will be set at $13.99.

Available at this price.

Looks good! Just placed an order.

Looks like Droid Life got their hands on one early. Quick review + video:

I'm using the Diztronic TPU case now and find the width okay. I hope the Fusion would be the same width.

 

[minnemike]

Sounds like wireless charging works. FTW!

 

[kuri22]

To those who preordered, check the tracking number once more at usps, mine had been shipped and left Texas today.

 

[minnemike]

Yeah - mine is en route too.

Got my case today. First impressions, it's nice, the clear back allows me to admire the back of the N4 (which is the reason why I got it). It seems as thick as my Atmosphere case that I've been using.

Gripes:
Buttons--it's hard to tell if I'm pushing the button properly without looking at the phone. There's no response unlike the Atmosphere.

Likes:
The back, nice to be able to admire the back of the N4 which was one of the big features of the phone.
Hole alignment--it looks like all the holes align with the case
Button construction--unlike my Atmosphere, it seems the buttons are made of the same material as the sides, so less chance of it breaking off.
Minimal packaging.
Feet at the bottom of the case so the clear plastic doesn't touch a flat surface
Do note, there is a film on the bottom of the case (wasn't obvious to me)

I'll be taking the fusion for a spin for the next few days.

Got mine today. Very nice. Plastic is on both front and back of back cover. Works nicely with the orb!

Is there protection to the front of the phone?

 

[chubb]

Got mine today. Have to say this case feels way better in hand than the OEM bumper. Like that it has feet on the back to keep it up off of surfaces to help avoid scratching the plastic. Adds less thickness than the bumper does, and has more grip. Also there is protective plastic on both sides of the clear back you should remove before using. So far I am really liking this case, will be putting the bumpers in a drawer now. Only negative, is that the buttons are kinda hard to press and there is no feeling when you do. With the bumpers you still could feel a nice click, but not with this case. Not a big deal reminds me of my girlfriends otterbox on her razr m.

Is there protection to the front of the phone?

There is no screen protector with it if thats what youre asking. But it does have a lip on it to keep the screen off of surfaces maybe a mm high.
