FP2 Case Strong Replacements?

[stubbs04]

I have found the FP cases to be pretty poor. FP1 rubber stretched, now the FP2 is too brittle, snapped/Cracked after one day use.
I need a rugged case like a Otter/Griffin rugged case or similar to truley protect my FP has anyone found one on the market?
Thanks

rubber

Rubber is only part of the old cases which are depreciated for a long time now since they are - as you say - pretty poor.
Get a new slim case, they work great.

Not normal. Do you by chance have a new translucent slim case as discussed here? Fairphone acknowledged a problem with early production and would exchange it …

My slim cover has cracks already

Besides looking filthy within a fews days after cleaning it, my backcover has several cracks at its edges already even though I bought the phone only some weeks ago and it never fell down. Is it just mine or do you experience the same? Btw should I contact FP directly to get a new one or do I have to talk to the retailer (Mobilcom-Debitel)?

If you would rather attribute it to rough handling or a rough environment, you could consider additional protection as discussed here …

Cases and screen protectors for Fairphone 2

Hello everyone, now that I have ordered the great FP2 I wonder if I can get a protective case and a screen protection foil. Probably even before the phone itself arrives. Is there any information yet if/when these things will become on the FP store or anywhere else?

Thanks, I wasnt aware that the clear case had a design flaw. Thats two case versions with design flaws. They should concentrate on getting a third version correct.
Ill look into returning it. Many thanks for your reply.

They got the slim cases correct. They work.
Production trouble can happen and was handled responsibly.
If you want to be on the safe side, try to get one of the “old” colours (non-translucent) .
