Have you seen the modular accessories for The Fairphone (Gen. 6)?

I wonder if it’s possible to make a back cover with a headphone jack.

A short video showing the different accessories:

Den Displayschutz habe ich gestern erhalten und montiert.
Den Abschluss zur oberen Kante bzw zum Lautsprecher finde ich nicht gelungen.
Da fehlt an jeder Seite etwas Material.

Parallel dazu hatte ich über Am… einen Noname Schutz bestellt der das perfekt abdeckt , allerdings scharfe Glaskanten hat.

I added another photo at the end of my accessories photos above (and four more at Flickr, for link see up there). It shows the :white_circle: Cloud White FP6 with both the :green_circle: Protective Case and the :green_circle: card holder attached to it. No white peek-through on the margins.

I bought the lanyard and a black case. The lanyard broke after 2 days already…and I dont like it so much that its fixed at the phone at that place instead of at the bottom as with third party cases

The case reminds me of the Fairphone 3 Bumper, which I liked.
The Vol buttons seem to be more sensitive with the case. I dont like the big cutout with no case at the screen side, because it makes it difficult to use the fingerprint sensor.

Why don’t you use double tap to lock the phone? Doesn’t Nova Launcher allow that?

This can be confirmed by me.

I don’t like the haptic and handling either, it feels somehow “wrong” if you you have to press the power button, at least for me with a wrist that’s limited for movements due to an accident.

I managed to get rid of this problem by activating the phone unlock with fingerprint on the power button. There you don’t have to press the butten directly, it’s engough if the finger just touches the surface of the button, works really flawless for me. Best unlocking I’ve ever had on a mobile phone.

@RMW Do you talk to me because if so thats nothing that would help with my struggles…

@mike_1312 I have the fingerprint reader enabled since the beginning so it doesnt help with the struggle that my finger “slips away” and it cant be easliy put on the power button or sensor…it works much better for me with my FP5 case which hasnt this big cut-out…

Might all be habbits, still for me the big cut-out is not the preferred design for various reasons (in combination with the design of the Vol buttons in general and with the case…

@yvmuell
I think the “problem” with the usage of the power button is linked to each one’s individual size of the hand and length of the fingers/thumb.
Before I had the case, I’ve teached the fingerprint sensor and it worked. After installing the case, it took several attempts to unlock the phone. So I deleted the old fingerprints and re-teached the sensor with the case installed. Now it’s working perfect for me.

For me it’s so convenient to slide the fingertip over the reader to unlock and double tap the screen to lock. YMMV.

Sorry to have bothered you with my remarks. Won’t happen again.

I tried the lanyard too…mine didn’t break, but maybe that’s because I almost immediately removed it again. :sweat_smile: The placement is not very well thought through in my opinion. I got me a third party solution with the lanyard attached at the bottom.

could you kindly send the link of the case you bought here

I received a refund and “fixed” it however I’m not so happy, as I cannot take it off easily and the placement still isnt mine either…

I bought the Clear Case with Lanyard attached to the bottom here:

The same happened with my lanyard. I only used it for less than a month. I am very disappointed about the poor quality. I will order a case including lanyard attached at the bottom.

DIY Fairphone 6 back cover:

Did anybody already alert vendors like BlueBrixx or Cobi to the opportunity to partner with Fairphone and do an official one before Lego do and sue everybody else :slight_smile: ?
(Or let Pantasy do an excessively sparkly one, but I guess sitting outside of the EU they won’t care much.)

:warning: White Protective Case

I imagined that the original white protective case may get stained over time, but not after 6 weeks? :flushed_face:

The soft frame is getting yellowish trained.

Is there some kind of warranty for that?

What is your own experience?

One person reported the similar experience. But I don’t know if they follow that up with the CS.

Has anyone tried using a finger loop with a magnet for holding the phone to the car vent system? I have glued my magnet at the back of my phone whilst waiting for the accessories to be available in green. I would love to get a finger loop as it would help me grab the phone better, but am afraid the magnet won’t work anymore. the magnet is a thin and powerful circle of only a few millimetres.

Hi,
I’m very happy with my fairphone 6 but one thing bothers me quite a bit about the lanyard:
I felt like a creep when I walked with my phone around my neck because the camera is very prominent. In fact I’ve heard people suspect I was filming as I passed near them.
I tried flipping the phone around until I accidentally exposed my screen and also realized it’s very unpractical when I pick it up.
So now I just don’t put it around my neck even though I find it super handy.

Is there any chance you could in future accessories provide a camera cover that goes with the lanyard case?
