I just received a new FP2. It’s my third after a warranty replacement and a toilet dip disaster . Anyway, I’m very happy to have a Fairphone again, even though it still exhibits many of the perennial problems discussed across the forum. The one difference is that I now have one of the slim cases. I …

I was sent a replacement and the replacement does not suffer from this problem, so it seems to have been a manufacturing flaw.

So far I do not have “noise” problems with my new slim cover.

I have the same problem and the terrible buttons. The new slim back seems to be just cheaply made. It makes my phone unusable, at one point the power button just remained pressed in causing my phone to constantly reboot. It has made my lovely phone look like a every other cheap phone (the silver lo…
