<p>The thickness is an issue, as predicted, but even more then I thought. I first removed the inner liner, then I needed to cut all the lower plastic away and finally removed the raised area around the camera area on the inside. That was already a lot of work because the liner sticks REALLY WELL but can be cleanly removed once lose. Strange glue... . The other issue was that the taps on top of the connection point still were to thick, so my husband tried to cut them into half the size but then we discovered the strange plastic the case is made of is kinda layered, meaning, if you cut length wise it flakes and you never get a clean cut, so I just removed them.</p>

<p>By now the phone fitted well enough with back-plate (After all the work and BEFORE cutting anything on the bottom parts, the phone was fitting without back-plate but I wanted it in place so that was not an option).</p>

<p>Now I had to find a way to fit and hold the phone in the case, it is too small to use the lip around the inner top part but to thick to press fit it in, so I used one of my back-plates with broken clips (yes the back-plates of the Fairphone 5 are not that sturdy and break over time (at least the clips holding it do)). At the end I came up with the idea of sticking it in, but the bottom part of the back-plate had such tight tolerances that it did not allow to move the phone up even without clips... so I cut it off and put some tape there. Now the phone can be removed and added, holds well enough (if any phone in a clicks case falls face to the ground you will have an issue, the lip is small no matter what, at least compared to my case I before). I also added a little bit of plastic to the top to better hold it in vertically.</p>
