Hi, all.
I realize this case for iPhone discussion has taken place before, but I'm
running into an unforeseen issue, and I'm hoping I can get some
recommendations.
I purchased a set of 10 inexpensive TPU cases from Amazon.com. As far as I
could tell, the cases would work perfectly for my phone, and they did except
for one issue.
The headphone access is so narrow that only the ear buds from Apple or other
very narrow headphones can be used with them. I have other headphones that
I prefer due to comfort and sound and they absolutely will not connect to
the phone when it is in this case.
It appears as if the diameter of the part of the headphone you use to
connect is too large to fit into the port opening. I'm not speaking of the
actual headphone jack, all of my phones are 3.5 mm jacks. I'm speaking of
the connection the jack is attached to, Sometimes this is an "L" shape, and
sometimes it's just a straight cylindrical portion blending into the cable
itself. I have both types of varying diameter, all larger than the Apple
ear bud things.
I could get the headphones semi-connected, but I really had to force the
jack into the connector, and the connection wasn't solid. I was afraid I'd
hurt the phone, so stopped and removed the phone from the case. I tried
inserting the connector into the slot on the empty case and it barely fit,
but this was without the phone pulling the case tight, and there's not much
give in the TPU material anyway once it's stretched over the phone.
I managed to trim off a portion of the case to work with my various wider
diameter headphones, but this is obviously not a desirable solution.
The cases in question are the ColorYourLife 10pcs 3D Paw Print Snug-fit
Flexible TPU Cases Skins Covers for iPhone 5 which you can read about at
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A1C4R10/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.
I really love these things as compared to the Otterbox Defender case.
They're easy to put on and take off, and they come in 10 different colors
and really complement the iPhone. Plus they've got the really cute paw
prints. <grin>
Yes, the Otterbox protects the phone, but it also makes it huge and very
bulky. Not to mention a royal pain to remove and put on the phone. Are
there any lightweight, relatively inexpensive TPU cases that will address my
issue with the headphone?
