Volume buttons fell off protective case

Help Accessories
1

Hi all, I recently got the FP6, and even more recently (about 3 weeks ago) started using it.

Today, for no apparent reason, the buttons in the protective case, those that cover the volume buttons, fell off of the case. They so neatly separated, that it seems intentional, but now the buttons are not really accessible (I need to use a fingernail to push them), so I can’t see how this would be an intentional feature?

Has anyone else experienced this, or is my case defective? If the former, did you find a way to keep the buttons in place? (Assuming I can even find both of them - I think one of them fell off in the street)

This should be a clear warranty case. You can contact Support and they will most likely replace the whole case.

You might want to try applying a (strongly) sticky tape cut to fit into the case’s slim inside wall (where the buttons were) and see if inserting/pressing the buttons back into the holes from the outside (while the phone is inside the case again) is enough to make the tape’s glue hold them in place.

Thanks! Good idea with the sticky tape - I’ll try it with my one remaining button (I think the other one is a lost cause in terms of finding it).

And yes, will also contact warranty.

Glad to know it’s not intentional! Since, yeah, it looks like a rather silly design if it was :smiley:

Oh this happened to me too, I just assumed I fidgeted with them too much…

It’s a pity that those keys fall off and since they are small enough they get lost - a bit more plastic in the environment. And it’s a pity that the replacement is a complete case with basically the same issues. If you have access to a 3D printer (or to a person who has one) it’s a rather small and quick task to 3D-print the buttons:

The FP6 in our household has the buttons replaced by 3D printed ones and so far they are still there and just work (and you can give your case a personal touch by choosing a different colour, too).

Those buttons are designed this way. They are not connected directly to the rest of the case. I discovered it when I cleaned my FP6 case. You can just pop them back in :slight_smile:

Me also. Not sure when it happened but the button appears to be lost. I can live with it but the missing button is annoying.

Perhaps you can put a bit sticky tape on the inside of the case in the hope you don’t loose the other button.

Hi folks,

I have the same problem with the +volume button. I think it happened when I put my phone into my left trouser pocket. I think I will go for warranty, too.

Maybe somebody could print off a batch and sell them. :grin: Seems daft to replace the whole case, and I’d rather live with the inconvenience of the missing button than get a whole new one.

I had that problem too; as I use those buttons a lot, I sent the case back and got my money back. Now I’ve bought a silicone case for 10 euros. It’s perfect.
