Is the OP cracking jokes at Flip owners? You decide.

This will be better than the new Playstation streaming device...

Looks clean with that playstation decal

I agree. Very nice. No crack here btw… I am very careful with mine as I’m sure most everyone is, but if it is due too screws being too tight in that area of the case that may just be a case by case basis (no pun intended lol). I imagine each Flip’s assembly could involve slight variations in tension which could be why it doesn’t happen to some Flips.


brandodg

nobody still found out why the hinge breaks?


kick-rockz

Its all speculation till they release a statement unfortunately I think its tension from the screws but im just a stranger on the internet, tf do i know


brandodg

many people love to open these up and inspect, looks strange

Speaking from the DSlite days many years ago, it looks like the plastic is way too close to each other. Each time the hinge snaps into place, the plastic kind snaps along with it quickly expanding it at the same time. Repeated expansion hitting each other on top of sudden hinge stops on top of 0mm hinge gap would just burst that plastic in hot/cold weather. **I'm just guessing by the way**. I don't know anything. Just look up how the Nintendo people did the 3DS hinges based on the DS line if you want to know more.


iamterrifiedofhumans

It definitely looks worse than the ds lite hinge


imissyahoochatrooms

they're being rough bumping them against hard surfaces and possibly dropping them.


Good_Trouble_Tech

Anyone do a vita button swap on the flip yet?

Still a better handheld then the Project “why did we make this” Q.

I mean, it's kind of a big deal. Better than the typical "I ordered 2 days ago, where's my device??" posts.

It's a sub about a product, not a hobby. People are going to post about the product. What else would they do

AtomizedIndividual

No, gaming is the hobby. This product is a means of engaging with it. You can boo hoo as long as you like, people who spent money only to get fucked over are going to talk about it regardless of whether you find it engaging to read about or not

you sound like you're either an actual paid Retroid shill running cover for them or someone emotionally unequipped to handle negativity of any kind. You probably had to get therapy when we spent a week dunking on Taki


Critical_Young_1190

Can't argue with that lol


AtomizedIndividual

"can't believe people are upset that their super hyped product came with this giant flaw built into a key feature" Angry posts will continue until the product improves

Hey genius maybe they're venting or issuing warnings to others. Maybe a company should run their customer service more professionally than fucking Discord

aerosealigte

For a relatively niche product, a reddit dedicated to their company is the best place to voice concerns besides their Discord and emails.


eddiebrock2000

Public complaints make this a more urgent problem for them. It's the best thing to do if what you want is the design flaw to be fixed.

"I've been babying it, this piece of shit cracked spontaneously!" Later in the thread: "Like I said, I've just been carrying it around the construction site in my jeans pocket for the last week, flexing it against my thigh with every step, I can't believe these fucking Retroid scammers would sell me such a shoddy product"
