Screen dims when Griffin FlexGrip is on iTouch: Anyone else experience this or know the cause?
479587
There is an "ambient light sensor" next to the camera, and this case has no opening to allow light in, causing the ipod to think it is in a dark room and dim the screen accordingly. Maybe you could look at a case that has the proper hole and try to poke a hole in your griffin case in that spot?

No it's only when you double tap the screen. And then it times out. Or you can double tap and the screen switches off.

I don't have an iPhone, but this does not occur when using it with my iPad which I pretty much use exclusively with the Bright Tech.

I am having the same problem with the Itouch. My friend has the exact same set up and we tried her adapter and it worked. I wonder if there is something wrong with our adapters? Any thoughts?

I love this case as well, and had the same problem. At first I put a glare-resistant soft touch screen protector on it, and that worked. However, you do have to set your brightness to a higher setting. I actually ended up removing the screen protector all together and just putting a regular skinomi screen protector for the screen. Up to you.

Have not experienced this but did experience darkening of screen in auto mode so I changed to manual brightness. Try changing to manual brightness and increasing your screens brightness. Let me know if this helped.

Just lightly tap the on off indicator. If you hold it down dims or brightens. Lightly tap

I'd say possibly one of three things - 1. Your 'brightness' setting was turned down during the install (which you can fix in the control panel by swiping up from the bottom of your screen in ios7)2. That there is an issue with the quality of the screen (which isn't fixable, you should have them send you a new screen at their cost as it is a manufacturing defect)3. The backlight shorted out/isn't working (might be your fault if you weren't careful during the install, but also might be a manufacturing defect with the screen... but it's hard to say which without seeing the phone)Hope that helps I'd say possibly one of three things - 1.

You can see but not as well... Just adjust the brightness and use an anti-glare screen protector, it'll definitely help. I guess that's an issue with tablets. Otherwise it's awesome.

Yes- the same thing just happened to us. We purchased this item two months ago and this morning found that the screen had a green scratchy tint. By the evening, we could view nothing. We've tried everything: changing outlets, resetting the base unit, changing out the batteries, turning off the wi-fi in the home in case of interference. Nothing worked! From what we can tell, it's a base unit issue, as the handheld is still capable of pulling up color without issue on the startup screen. Summer better be willing to make this right...For the $200 we paid, it's not worth it...

the screen activates just getting close to it with hands. I always made a little pressure when touching the incons on the screen; I'm not sure if they work just touching w/o pressure. I check tomorrow and will let u know.

I did. No "survivor" across the back, no griffin symbol on the home button. Contacted the seller and they tried lying about it, but have agreed to a refund.

I have Yahoo mail and it does not do that but I have noticed certain apps/games will flip to fit the screen better. Did your email do that before the keyboard?

There is the option to either have it mirrored or expanded to full screen... Both iPad and iPhone.

Had this same problem. Someone told me the oil from your fingers messes up the touchscreen. Simple soloution-clean with Windex.

Correct, the shape of frame near the bottom edge of the screen prevents your finger from sliding up the menu that flips on the light. I worked around this problem by installing a flashlight app. Otherwise the case is awesome.

I just got mine, it appears it is only the slider toggle in the upper right that does that. Shame, that is a real annoyance to have to choose between windows 8 function keys or ones you use while programming, like f5 to refresh your browser or launch you app in debug mode. seems like alt or ctrl should be able to do that.
