hey all,
i just bought the case for fun, and i wanted to take a few test pictures with my new camera.
its a soft silicon case so it doesn't really hold on to the phone. in other words, it slips off if you try to pull it out of your jeans unless you grab it first and then slowly pull it out, but if you try to slide it out of your pocket the corner might slip off.
also it came with a screen protector which looks okay, and it works. If you want to lay it on the screen it has like a 1 mm gap between screen and table, but i don't know if it would protect it.
another thing that might bothers some people, besides the case almost slipping off, are the holes they cut out for the headphones and the mics...it really just looks like a 6 year old is trying to make his/her first circle cutout, and if you want to charge it you have to make sure its plugged in correctly.
conclusion
+ looks awesome IMO
+ great way to get girls to talk to you
+ can't argue about ca. 5 EUR
+ came with a screen protector shield
- doesn't really hold on the phone it feels like you're rapping your phone in jello
- holes are not cut out nicely
- if your phone faces down it might not protect the screen very well
- have to really firmly push the charging cable in it
now to the pictures.
Yup, it grabs attention and is good enough to protect from scratches, but the phone does pop out sometimes, so I switched to Taurus.

I got the white one, attention grabber for sure "why's that guy talking to a cassette tape?!?"
wow the white eye really catches more attention! looks cool.
@ShiftPlusOne
i googled the taurus one, is it the aluminum one? cuz that one looks tempting too.
Where did you get this?
Where can I get this case?? I need to know!!
I got it off ebay.com, but its also available on amazon.com.

So...I was gonna get a seidio innocase II however, I knew the platinum case at bb was identical and I was able to get it for 21.00
So when I got it I knew about how it fit, where it fit good but felt loose in the corners. I also saw the complaints about the felt not actually covering the whole back or sides.....so I did something about it.
I started looking for sticky felt, couldn't find any thin stuff. Then I thought of fabric which would work....however then I stumbled upon felt contact paper at Michaels....all they had was red. So I said screw it and bought it any way.
An hour later I came up with this....originally it coverd the top and bottom sides more but when i did that the case wouldn't close. so i had to trim it back some.
Now the case fits damn good....chances of dirt getting in there are a lot less, the sides and full back are protected and I think it looks pretty good for my non artsy ass. It was actually quite a pain in the ass with its original design, which wrapped the top and bottom areas, if I would have known that the case wouldnt have snapped shut doing those areas it would have saved me at least a half hour.
Of course there is the new active case now and i might check that out but looking at the reviews it looks a little big
Great idea... Think I'll be hitting Michael's today!!! The slightly loose fit is starting to drive me crazy... Everytime I pick-up my phone and the case wobbles I get images of scratches all over my baby!!!
to cut the holes I used an xacto knife.
Thanks, so what is the product called? I want to call around and see if they have any.
NICE! Good job! I should do this if Seidio doesn't RMA my case.

Since a fair few of you will now have one of these, I was just looking to get some thoughts and opinions on one please?
Also I know it can stand vertical with this case on, but can it stand landscape?
Thanks
U can do everything without any trouble, it's a great case.

Yeah, it's a great little case. I bought the black one, and i'm looking at getting a blue one next. Really cheap for official ones from Trusted Sellers on ebay (roughly £7 without original packaging, £10 with)
the only downside is it lets dust through the little holes, so you get a neat little dust pattern on the back side of your phone - a regular removal and wipe on your trousers helps.
I've had one on it for about 2 weeks and I like it, only drawback is I had to shave down by USB connector plastic to get it to fit while the case is still on. I ordered another from dealextreme because it was really cheap. I notice the case just touches the mic area but doesnt cover it up. I like it because it's not very bulky and the plastic 'mesh' back fits over a soft case and makes it rigid and easy to hold.
Good luck for u
Got a generic cheap mesh case from eBay, its pretty awesome but as mentioned above, gets a bit dirty after some long time, and mine is cheap enough to start breaking on corners, had a few falls tho, and that's the purpose of a case, so the phone doesn't break instead
I had this case, it was okay at the start but in the end the plastic on the top corner started breaking away. Also the one and only time I dropped my phone with this case on I got a nasty scratch just above the screen where there was no protection. I had to ditch it. I'm using a plain black tpu case now, much more protection. The advantage of the mesh case is that its so slim.
Edit : Oh yea and its a dust magnet.
Got the original mesh case, I dropped it twice since I got it. First time no damage at all, protected the phone nicely. Second time the phone popped out of the case as it hit the floor (shoulder hight, had a nice spin to it also) but both the case and the phone didn't suffer any damage. So I guess it serves it's purpose and looks nice as well.
Aesthetically nice.
Crap if you want proper protection.
I bought it merely to protect the camera and back when I put the phone down to prevent scratching. For overall phone protection it's definitely going to be lacking as the top and bottom edges of the phone aren't covered. The case clips on easily but stays on fairly tightly. The rubbery material gives better grip when holding the phone. Dust does get in over a week or so over the back of the phone, though isn't noticeable with the case on, and can easily be wiped off. I think the case looks pretty nice, all key areas are fully accessible and for the price of about £8 was worth it.
is not compatible for i9100P
I've just buy the genuine Samsung mesh vent case for my Samsung Galaxy S2 win NFC (i9100P) but it is NOT compatible. My colleague on the i9100, not NFC, perfect fit.
Some ideas?
Light, strong and keeps the thinness we all love about our S2s!
Dropped mine a couple of times on to wooden floors and no damage yet
Protects the camera lens too when lying on a flat surface
The dust comments are true but only noticeable when u take the cover off so no big deal and it fits so snugly it kinda looks part of the phone!
To answer original question tho, no only stands in portrait
I got an official Samsung one given with mine. Good at protecting from scuffs when it's on a table or desk but wouldn't like to trust it with protecting my phone from a fall.
That's why it's sat unused in a cupboard at work! If anyone wants it just message me and I'll stick in the post.

I'll take the case if it's on offer, let me know your thoughts on shipping to Australia Figure you sent all your convicts here, so a case shouldn't be a problem
So, I took a chance on this case for 15 bucks, delivered, and I am impressed as hell!!
Several colors available, includes a free screen protector, and a super protective case, with covers for all the open ports..
Its not a Ballistic HC, but, since they refuse to make a HC case for this phone, and the other Heavy Duty Protective cases aren't that impressive, AND cost a lot more, I took a chance on this guy, and I like it a lot..Camera lens is recessed, front screen is recessed, so you can lay it face down with no probs, and there is a heavy plastic frame you put the phone into before you slide it into the rubber case...
And, did I mention a built in kickstand??
Black, blue, white, red, and green, I think..
Best 15 bucks I have spent on this phone so far, and was delivered from California to Chicago in TWO DAYS!!
Jump on this one asap.

Nope, only buy stuff on ebay, don't sell anything on Ebay..
Just very impressed with this quality of case for 15 dollars..
If you want a slim case, this is NOT for you..this is for folks like me that need their phone protected because they drop them, abuse them, and just aren't really gentle with their phones..
I would rather rock an old flip phone than put my phone in that rubber brick which ppl call a case.

looks like heavy duty protection for relatively cheap price. not my cup of tea though, don't know why anyone would want to add that much thickness to the phone.
People like me, that drop their phone more than they should...
hah thats what I just ordered. but in blue. will report when I get it.
raft? I am coming from a Touch Pro 2 and or an Evo with Extended battery.
this phone is a piece of paper to me. even with this case its probably still going to be the thinnest phone I have owned in many years.
I am VERY gentle with my phones BUT this phone is TOO thin sometimes. its hard to hold one handed for sure. I have very big hands and my hands always want to "wrap" it which does a multi touch when you don't want it too.
I am hoping this will help with that. will be sure to post pics and thoughts once I get and use it.
I am HOPING I can hack a hole in the back to allow me to use the extended battery. Love the 4 AH of power
Got the case and I freaking LOVE IT
killer protection cheap price. Going to order another in blue/black so I can put blue plastic with blue gel shell. ie blue on blue.
sadly its much darker blue than the picture indicates (I am very partial to bright colors and very antagonistic toward dark boring colors) but its not "too" bad.
that one of its few drawbacks
The seller I got it from (case ology?) also had a PREVAIL case in killer bright orange. I have sent him a message begging on my hands and knees and offering to pay extra to get the epic touch case in that orange !! blue hard shell with orange cover would ROCK
anywhere here is my thoughts some pictures and video.
The case is a 3 part case.
you have a "FULL" enclosure "hard shell" that snaps around the phone (loose snap very easy to remove)
lay the phone in the bottom half insert the long right side first snap shut.
this full encloses the phone.
now this "phone/enclosure" gets shoved into the flexible shell (silicon?)
smooth it down make sure all the dimples "lock" into the slots on the hard shell and its a nice rigid soft fit that does not move flex or stretch around.
I REALLY like this form of enclosure. it feels extremely solid and protective.
Most likely any force sufficient to penetrate the case is sufficient to damage the phone even if it does not penetrate.
Will I test that? I hope not.
now this statement is conditional. IE I have huge hands.
the phone in this case "feels good" in the hands. it just "feels right"
even as bulky as this case is its still overall thinner than my touch pro 2 with stock battery.
I love the port covers for headphone jack and usb jack.
I love how DEEP the screen is for protection if it lands or slides face first including in my pockets.
now I did encounter some issues minor but annoying anyway.
Not all chargers will fit. for example my IGO charger is not usable any longer. the "tip" it too larger. I would need to get a short Micro USB extension if that even exists.
but my primary charger (my Kindle charger and cable) fit perfectly.
even slightly larger plugs fit (example the USB JIG fits fine)
I had to shave down the tabs for the kickstand just a hair. they were too tight. hurt my fingers trying to get it open and I still failed. had to resort to a key to pry it open.
once I shaved it down it functions perfectly.
The case fits the epic touch PERFECTLY but they forgot about the notification LED. there is NO HOLE for the LED in the upper right corner of the case. I will drill one later this week.
I wish they had made the case just a hair wider and wee bit longer.
the contact point between the screen and the "hard shell" is too tight on the edges and bottom (no problem up top the case to screen angle up top is HALF that of the bottom and sides)
it can be a wee bit difficult getting to the soft keys at the bottom and any navigation functions (letter jump in contacts) on the extreme edges of the screen. (this is where larger fingers are a detriment)
It fits in my jacket pocket no problem and my pants pocket no problem (I am a big fellow 6'4" so take that with a grain of salt) ie it fits in my shirt pocket too hehe
so far (3 days) the case is holding up great. I will be sure to report back a long term review later on.
I love the bulk it adds to the phone protecting the screen and the camera module surfaces.
and I love the full enclosure hard shell and full overlay soft skin. I think this is far better than the 50/50 shells like the ballistics or the fishbone cases) although no doubt the ballistics is probably superior in the protection department I doubt by very much.
but you pay for this in bulk. The pro's are port protection and sleek looks even with the bulk. IE it looks "clean"
the kickstand functions both in both portrait and landscape though it is not 100% stable in portrait (easy to knock over left and right)
I also made a crappy video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_H9e2UWn5g
I just ordered another one. the black with blue "core" so I can have blue on blue. really loving this case. just "feels good" in the hands.
I really hope the gel holds up and does not get all stretchy.
I was just browsing through cases on ebay and found this case in orange/ black for $7.99.

Ohhh very tempting but I fear its the RED case not orange.
many times these sellers never actually "hold" the product they sell they drop ship them.
so he got a picture and the picture "looks" orange red so thats how he lists it.
but for $8 it might be worth the gamble. I really want a bright blaze orange case badly.
Like this one I got for my EVO

what the hell its probably the red one with a bad picture but I took a shot will see what I get.
to the best of my knowledge this case is only available in white black blue red and pink.
---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------
FYI got the blue core. LOVE IT looks fantastic blue on blue. but one huge problem.
when I make a call the screen goes dead and its 100% unresponsive.
I discovered that for some reason the blue shell activated the proximity sensor. but the cut is as perfect as the black one. I nearly doubled the size of the hole to no effect still triggers the proximity sensor.
while switch from black to blue trying to figure out what the heck was going on it hit me. the only difference I had not accounted for. The Color. SO I took a sharpie and colored the backside around the proximity ambient sensor hole BLACK and the inside of the hole black.
BINGO works perfectly. "something" about the plastic and that color caused the proximity sensor to trigger. Weirdest freaking thing I have seen in some time for sure.
but easy sharpie fix and its all invisible to me on the inside so I am happy. also put my hole for the notifications LED into place. Much better
ALSO all problems are now solved. I discovered there is plenty of "meat" in the plastic for me to "SHAVE" the plastic where it touches the screen. I moves all 3 sides "out" 2mm or so and WOW what a difference. no more trouble getting to the soft keys at all and no more trouble getting to the rolledex scroller.
Perfect will have a video up shortly.

Not really looking for a dock here (as I dont want to keep plugging and unplugging my phone, to preserve battery health), just a nice stand my phone can sit on.
Anyone have recommendations? I found a few nice aluminum stands on amazon/ebay but they dont look ideal.. Some use the adhesive back, which I dont think would work with the curved back of our HTC One.
I'd prefer a stand that is weighty enough to stay in place on my desk, without me having to use some sort of adhesive on the base lol.
Thanks!

Hey man, I'm a huge fan of the PodProp Universal Stand, fits the HTC One nicely in both portrait and landscape mode and its cheap! Considering getting a second one for my night stand (current one is up at work). Let me know if you have questions
Ooh, these things right? http://www.etsy.com/listing/109791213/color-stone-soft-universal-fit-view?ref=usr_faveitems
Found these the other night, looks pretty good, useful, and best of all cheap lol.
Could you possibly post pictures of your One on that stand?
Also, it says its made of soft foam? That got me questioning the durability of it. How is it holding up for you. And do you know if the stone color get dirty quick?
Hey yeah that's the same one but if you buy from their website I think it includes free shipping. Below you will find a link to my review with pics of my HTC One on it. Durability is top notch, super easy to clean and no wear or tear that I have noticed. I literally use it ever weekday while at work.

Nice review, thanks for the info.
And hm you're right, seems like they sell through Amazon as well, and their items are fulfilled by Amazon so its Prime eligible, woohoos.
Sadly they dont have the stone color in stock on Amazon.. :\
They only have a 2-pack of the Blue. 2-pack for $13 is perfect, just wish they had Stone color, damnit.
I'm using the Elago iphone stand.
Sturdy and works just great

I was actually considering a knockoff of that case haha: http://www.amazon.com/Aluminum-Desktop-iPhone-Generation-Cellphone/dp/B0087Y1XS4/ref=pd_sim_cps_15
I was worried about the case scratching the phone though. Looks like theres a pad at the bottom to protect the phone, but what about the back of the phone?
Once my phone is in the stand I don't move it but if iphones don't get scratched I can't see the One scratching either.
The thing is, iPhones have glass backs, which are harder than aluminum.
But in our case, it would be aluminum on aluminum :|
Hmm.

I considered a case but i don't want to lug around a brick..
I put a screen protector on it.. which is delectably useful. LOL
I figure it could save some scratches potentially.
But i got a black-leather belt clip phone holder from Wallmart that fits perfectly.
Good for listening to music when roaming around on a bike etc
I also just pulled mine out and for the first time in 1 year of owning it i dropped it
It bounced super mega hard on the concrete 3 times and landed face down.
I must have hit the sides then it rested face down.
I picked it up and the band around it started to separate..
So i blew any dirt off it then clicked it back in place and plugged my headphones back in..
Worked fine still ..music did not stop playing
Later i looked at it and i had no scratches at all anywhere but two micro pin prick gouges into the outer replaceable rubber band thing that comes off.
I have a spare too in case i need it ever.
So i was impressed.. she is a trooper of a machine !
I played basketball with it on Concrete and it did nothing
..with no case.
I also had debated before on pulling off my protector film on the glass.
But i just feel better having it on there.. maybe a security thing in my head.
It would suck to have the glass scratched.
There is other options though people.
When i go around town i see 99.99% of all people doing the same thing.
Everyone has their phones in cases which add to the bulky size of it.
Especially those iPhone users.. looks like they have massive thick huge bricks in their hand.
Then i pull mine out and it's like half the width LOL
And far faaaaaaaar cheaper.
I just wanted to offers some other ideas.
Also i looked at the picture and the case does seem sort of thin, so that is cool.
And i was just being careless when i dropped my phone.
Where do you put your phone people ? In your pocket ?
That to me seems like a far bigger risk than anything else.
Easier to sit on it or get crap in the holes or put your keys / change in there to scratch it up etc.
My belt-clip has it kept safe & secure and clean and accessible.
Just some thoughts
i need this, is perfect for my moto e :3
