Quick question about the One X. When I compare the One X with the One S, I must admit that the promise of a hardened (I dont remember what the process was called) alloy body that the One S has seems a lot more appealing than the plastic body of the One X. Those of you who already have it, what do you think about the build quality in general compared to phones made out of various metal? (HTC One S, iPhone 4x, Sensation S, etc)..
Plastic body is easier to mould and lighter than metal and just as durable, plus it don't interfere with wireless signal.
I'm happy with the plastic feel of my One X.
Iphone 4 don't count as it uses regular glass for the back, can't imaging wost material as it is both slippery and easy to break.
Sensation felt clammy and like it could easily slip out of my hand. The One X has a lovely grip to it, and doesn't get all clammy. The lightness is great too.
Definitely a better material to use.
The best thing I like about this phone compared to others I've had in the past is that there seems to be no light leakage where the edge of the screen meets the body of the phone. I hated my Evo 3D and Desire HD for this.
I've haven't held the One S so I can't really compare the two, but the One X feels solid and very light at the same time. I'm starting to get used to the weight of it though and it doesn't seem as light as when I first picked it up.

And NFC can be used with the One X polycarbonate finish. Afaik One S doesn't have NFC?

Thanks for all the feedback. Ill head down to the store to hold it myself. I disagree with glass being a poor construction material. Glass can shatter, but generally holds up against daily usage fairly well and scratches tend to look less disturbing than they do on plastic covers.

How does your HOX not slip out of your hands? Mine is like soap unless I'm squeezing the hell out of it or it's lying with the screen upwards. Do you use a phone cover? Any someone would recommend?
One S - Ceramic
One X - Polycarbonate
All in all, the One X still feels more solid than the S3, which looks and feels like a plastic toy..
I disagree... the One S both looks and feels a lot better in terms of build quality and sturdiness in my opinion. The glossy plastic on the One X looks awful!

I am indeed referring to the sides..
And I own both a One S and a One X, but I simply find that the One S feels a lot more solid and exclusive in hand. Not sure why people find this so hard to understand. To me, oxidized aluminium is a lot more appealing than plastic.

One S does indeed feel better materials wise my sister has one. But our matte finished HOXs feel better than other similar plastic devices out there. The uni body design is well made on the HOX. iPhone 5 feels great too with its finish.

I use official HTC screen protectors on my desire s (got the set with pouch, car charger and protectors). I really like the feel of them, they don't feel overly plasticy like some protectors.
They some to come off well without leaving an adhesive residue.

i did also get those and in my opinion they are not good, it's a little to big so it extends a bit over the screen causing it to release from the screen. but they where cheap so they will do until i buy something else

Useless protectors???
I got my One x today and immediately went to apply one of the 2 Genuine HTC screen protectors that are specific for this device.my advice would be don't buy any. There will not be a screen protector ever available that will actually fit the one x this is because of the convex design of the outer of the display. Luckily I got the pack of 2 from a seller on Amazon for £7 so no real damage to the wallet there ) Please let me know your experiences with SP's
Hey Guys,
the One X has Gorilla Glas Version 2. Watch out on google, what that means.
I got a Sensation with Gorilla Glas, no scratches at all.

So even the genuine HTC protectors aren't curved? Shame on them. You'd think that for £11 it would fit better than a generic, non-HTC one.
It might be worth waiting to see what others come up with.
Whatever you do don't buy the official HTC ones waste of money they have a poor fit as mentioned. The one I got with the case is slightly better but will be difficult to get good screen protectors. Personally waiting for SGP as theirs are usually good.

Yeah they're just flat. The only reason I ordered them was that I remember getting original HTC sp's for my Desire & they were quality. These are pure rubbish though.

Yes, shame because I tried both sets that came in the pack.
Most of the screen was perfect, couldn't tell there was a protector even on...
However, the sides around the screen just would not stick.
I had a 1mm edge around the screen that just wouldn't stick, it annoyed me too much, I pulled them off.

Thinking of ordering that one myself. Have you tried it out on HOX? If so, are they recommendable?
Hi guys,
Got my hands on the CandyShell Grip case, from Speck at my local AT&T store. This is a one-piece hybrid style case that incorporates silicone and plastic in one. So while you get a sleeker case (since it's not 2 pieces) while obtaining the benefits of both materials. It's pretty simple to put on, and I love the look - but removing this case is very, very difficult.
Check out the full review below:
Damn that looks cool. Where to buy online with shipping to europe?
The case looks really cool and protective!
The downside (and the reason why I am not buying that one) is the volume-rocker and power button
I really like the look of the case! Interesting to see it on a white One X.
BTW, Speck's website claims that the case will be available in mid-June, while obviously they are available right now. Pretty annoying.
Can't post links but go to speckproducts.com and search for HTC One in the search box and you'll see.

Thanks! As I thought, the case does looks much better on it.
Can you post a picture of the front of the phone too?
Did you buy the case from at&t?
I have that very case and I think it is great. I have no problems at all with the on/off and volume switches. They are firm but not difficult to press as the video seems to imply. Nor was it particularly difficult to remove if you start from the stretchy earphone jack area. I particularly like that the case is just thick enough to protect the camera lens when lying on its backside. And for me the look is strikingly good.

and can let me know what its like thinking of ordering one does it protect the camera at all ?
Hey I've tried it in carphone, it does not seem to offer the best protection for your camera as it does not go higher than what the camera protrudes from the HOX.
You would be best ordering the official one offers better protection, either than one with the leather cover or without.
Only downside is if you have a grey phone might look out of place, but it didn't bother me with my grey HOX
Where is the best place to order the official one ? thanks for the input
Im just after ordering a Case Mate Barely There in black from play.com yesterday (£14.99).
I just upgraded to my One X yesterday coming from a Desire S and even before that I had the original Desire and for both phones I used the same case from Case Mate and loved them!

At the moment, rather hard to say most of the usual places are out of stock or in back order (mobile fun, expansys, amazon, play, clove)
Personally try carphone it's where I picked one up, even though the cost is full retail price what with how hard it is to get one might be worth it.
Just got one from orange shop, £15, and is v nice. Light and slim, better grip than original case so less chance of droppage, and good access to volume, power, etc. Downside is doesn't protect camera lens, or front corners of phone

The Casemate Barely There is my favorite case so far in terms of looks and feel. Actually contrasts nicely with my gray unit, doesn't add much bulk, and does what I want it to do, which is protect that fragile back surface from getting shiny spots. Half the reason I bought the One was the way it felt in my hand, so it's a bit of a shame to use any case, but HTC didn't do a good job durability testing that back surface for wear.
The Barely There offers no protection for the camera at all, but that really doesn't bother me, camera ain't no big deal to me, since I only take pictures of my thumb, and that by accident.
I also bought the official cover (C700) and it looks like total ass on my gray phone, it's really made for the white One X, but frankly, no man with one or both testes still attached should be sporting a white phone anyway.
I have the Barely There Case in Black, the HTC One X in White, and both spuds functioning perfectly thank you. Tonight I am going to pursue such manly endeavours as peeing on something, thumping my chest, and making outlandish remarks about other peoples tastes.
For those who like the Barely There case but are worried about camera lens damage, the Martin Fields screen protector comes with 2 camera lens protectors too.
Right. I'm off to pick some daisys and watch Twilight movies......dam! You got me!
All in good fun mate. Half of all male humour is about casting aspersions on another male's manliness.

Post of the thread, right here Good to see that British sense of humor is alive and well!
The white is shiny like on Rock ones?
If yes then it will not look good on a grey HOX.
I am searching for a matt white for my grey hox
Ordinarily I'd agree, but the white version was available for $499 on Newegg, $100 cheaper than the grey, which I certainly prefer. I guess I'll have to stop making fun of guys with white phones...

Anyone using the white Barely There case on a grey HOX care to post some pics please? Stock ones on their website aren't great. Thanks!!
I picked up my Otterbox defender the other day from AT&T. I really love this case. The fit isn't perfect for the One X though. All buttons and ports match up but like the commuter the camera doesn't align perfectly. Also the bottom Mic doesn't align perfectly but it doesn't affect call quality. The power button only works if you press the very left of it. Everything works like you would expect. This case doesn't affect the use of the phone at all.
I recommend this to anyone needing a rugged case. 8/10 Overall.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Can you take some more detail pictures. Such as a thickness comparison, front, back, a close up on the camera lens. Or maybe a video review? Anyway thanks for the time to express your opinion on this case.
Sure I can do that. I'm not sure how soon it will be though. I have a hectic work schedule.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Seems from the picture that the camera and flash holes don't line up properly. Is that true or is it just bad photo angle?
Please note that Otterbox clearly states that both the Commuter and the Defender are compatible with "HTC One X (AT&T and Canada ONLY)".
Keep in mind that if you have an international One X, the case will have that annoying misalignment around the camera and flash.
how hard is it to take out/put back in?
Judging from the pics, its seems it doesn't have good fitting where the camera and flash are located. The back, like all Otterbox models, is ugly and not good aesthetics-wise and ergonomics-wise. I will choose Trident Kraken in a heartbeat, Ballistics SGP, a close second. Just my two cents!
You all are correct about the fit of the case. It's not perfect like it is with the One XL but this does not impair any of the phone's functions. It's mearly a cosmetic flaw.
But the phone becomes very large. I had a cover on the DHD, it's just terrible.
Yes this case does increase the size a great deal. I've also grown to hate the way that the built in screen protector distorts the clarity of this beautiful screen. It's a noticeable difference and I can't stand it. The screen is arguably the phone's best feature, why distort it?
I am considering a change to one of the spec cases.
