Cases and overheating - HTC One X

Does it happen? Which type of cases should I go for or avoid?
The last post sent from my HTC Desire HD before I get my replacement One X tomorrow.

The ones with holes, like these http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/20/hands-on-with-htcs-colorful-one-x-cases/ are the most recomended. It's a pitty they're so ugly

ugly?? seriously? I think its the most good looking case out there. I'm gonna get it when it releases.

One X casing

I.just.f*cking.dropped.my.one.x.on.the.asphalt... Now, its beautiful casing is blemished with scars. Is there any available for replacement. I know this usu unibody construction, but i really need this seriously...

Holy s**t, I hate it when that happens.
Couldn't find anything atm unfortunately, I think OEM housing replacements normally become available a few weeks after the phone launches.
I know how you feel mate, I did a similar thing 2 days after owning a Nexus S.

I'll try to get a camera first. But beware! Not for the faint of heart.

I don't think you're going to be able to do it yourself like other phones. Perhaps HTC will have some kind of service where you can pay a bit of $$ and trade for a refurb.... Otherwise it's going to be hard with a unibody.
M.
can you post some pics
I thought so too because of its unibody design.. sigh.

Picture or it didn't happen!
Nokia lumia 800 is an unibody as well and there is a possibility to change...
So think guys.... What comes in,can always comes out

i think a case is very necessary...
my camera lens got a scratch from sitting on my table, screen up.. when u put the phone screen up, the entire lens is in contact with the tabletop because the lens is flushed with the metallic ring.. god, this is a real retarded design.. i've used my hd2 for 2 years and the lens has not have a single scratch because the len is recessed compared to the metallic frame... this time round however, 4 days new, and the htc one x len got scratched. real.....
word of advise: need to put something on surface for the phone to sit..
put screen up, camera lens gets scratch.. put screen faced down, entire screen in contact.. higher chance of scratches on screen.. seriously, i dunno why htc keep designing phones with low battery capacity when sense eats battery like kids eat sweets and design phone with cameras sticking out all the time...
they are like the only people around who design phones with the camera sticking out, begging u to scratch the damn lens..
Yep same here..
Coming from the DHD to the Sensation XE i was happy
They improved it a lot....But for the One they lapsed
Unlucky man, sounds like a disaster to me. I'd be so sad if my new toy was damaged hope you get it sorted!

you can use bubble wrap for now
This hurts.. I thought The Gorilla Glass 2 would make it nearly unbreakable ...

Its funny how people get jealous of what i get paid to do.
PS. this phone was purchased outright for our own personal use. This was not a review unit nor was it given to us. if you had any common sense you might realize that companies will not give you a phone just for you to smash it into pieces.
Ouch!
Personal use.....droptest .....common sense..
Really should i answer.
Review units....thats a unit a big company GIVES a reviewer to test.
There has been several
Why did I watch this!!! I've dropped every phone I've ever owned and I know what I've got in store now
Screen protector - don't be ignorant to think gorilla glass is unbreakable - YouTube will show you many breaks.
Gorilla glass is awesome, but not unbreakable.
Don't be a fool, protect your tool.

Does a screen protector stop it from smashing face down then, I dont see how it could?
A case yeah, but not a stick on thing surely?

I do reviews for a site and we have a very close relationship with both Samsung and HTC and the word they always use is never "GIVE" it is always "LOAN" and with that they always make use promise that the device will be returned in perfect working order. If it is damaged in anyway the reviewer has to pay for it.
galaxy s2 also has gorilla glass and it really IS UNBREAKABLE(nw I think i should'nt had sold mine )

I really wish the one x was built like my desire HD, dropped that so many times and its been perfectly pristine without a case
Would a case protect the screen though?
I'm so scared of breaking the screen now :/

sigh.... I want my trident aegis now (emailed trident and release is end of this month or early next month for both the aegis and kraken)
People just need to be less clumsy ;-)
Ive had a smart phone for 3 years. Never dropped it.

from Sensation XE to Galaxy NEXUS to ONE S and now to ONE X?

hey guys..
four months ago i bought the xe and sold it for the gnex, because of the better display.
now i exchanged my gnex for the one s and now i have the problem that the display isn't perfect. i sent it back to htc because of the coating failure.
and now i am thinking of selling the ons and paying estimated 100€ to buy the ONE X.
would you do it or would you stay with the ONE S?
are you happy with the ONE X?
I LOVE MY ONE X
No faults whatsoever. But maybe you should wait for the sg3.
Send it back and wait for the sgs 3 if you want or get a one x if you want the display.
no i don't like samsungs. i hate touchwiz and i love sense
therefore it should be a htc.
but i mainly bought the one s because of it's beautifuuuuuul design, but the screen is really a problem for me
do you like the design of the one x? do you have any scratches?

If you're a display fanatic, like the Sensation, the One X ships with two different panels. One's warm and one's cool. The consensus is that the cool is preferred.
There's also a stange issue that affects some One X's that causes graphics issues like screen flickering and dots. It's most likely s/w but you could be impacted until HTC comes up with a solution.
You might want to hold on to the One S until the dust settles.
what are the display types called ?
which is the warm one and which the cool one ?

I LOVE the design of the X, it is the epitome of a perfect phone. Beautiful to look at, as light as a feather, and so soft and smooth to touch and ooerate. And very very fast at switching between apps. And the screen size is as large as can be without being uncomfortable. Any larger and the buttons and keyboard are too big for thumbtyping.
No scratches
Tough one, if you are anal about display quality, go for the X. If not stay with the S. Much better feel to it.
But I ended up with the X eventually. You can read alot about the X and S here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582396
Edit, one thing though. The developers seems to take on the X. Leaving the S a little behind atm. But that can change.

Touchwiz.. I would not have it even if the sg3 came with a butler, beer and 1yr supply of whisky. Touchwiz is terrible..

Buying white one x

Hi guys,
I want to buy a new one x but I can't make up my mind about the color yet. I mean I like the white one but I'm worried that it will get dirty easily specially that I intend to use it without a cover. Can you share on your experience using a white one x without a cover?
Mine has stayed pretty clean. I use it with and without a case.
It really depends on who's carrying the phone, there are some clumsy people who just put their mobile anywhere they like, and their are some people who are just conscious who keeps thinking what if i put it here and there will it get some scratch or so whatever.
For me, just keep it balance, put the phone in a place that you know it'll be safe and neat, though i am one of the owner of black one, white HOX is pretty descent as well, my cousin has one and he is still maintaining the smoothness and cleanliness of it.
It doesn't get dirty much but I always have a case as I read a newspaper on my morning commute to work and the ink rubs off very easily onto the phone or clear or white cases. So I use a black case so it doesn't show any ink marks! As long as your hands are clean it should stay white.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I have the white one close to four months now. At first, I used a case because I feared dirt or scratch marks. But after one or two weeks I ditched the case and never looked back. My phone is still clean and I have no scratch marks whatsoever.
I have white one x no problems I don't even use a case but I recommend waitin for the one x+ should be out soon

Htc one wooden casing????

Im looking for a wooden casing for HTC one. I've seen dozens on iphone and sammy, Its been awhile singe htc released so there must at least be one manufacturer making a wooden case for the HTC one right?????
As far as a case goes idk, but there are wooden skins that supposedly feel like actual wood
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
I have not seen one. Wooden cases are pretty labor-intensive, so the manufacturers tend to stick to the most popular models. You might be able to talk them into a custom one depending on how badly you want it and the size of your wallet.
Edit: You know, there is this thing called Google--you might try it. Found this one in about a minute:

Okay, for being a douche, I tracked down a real option.
Edit: nope, that's a plastic wood grain case.
This guy might be talked into making one, though it's more of a box than a case:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/1198975...essories_mid&gclid=CNfr-ef_grkCFSU6QgodQ0UAJQ
Might contact these people and see if they have sold any. They've got some nice options:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1196374249/2013_hot_new_products_wooden_case.html
I've been looking around for a wooden one as well, but nothing has really come up for me. I think the most ideal one for me would be a case that is plastic except for a thin wooden back (or wooden-looking back). I would love it if Carved made a case for the One. Their cases for the iPhone 5 and the S4 look great:
An alternate idea I want to try is to pair an aluminum bumper... with one of the wood-look wraps from Slickwraps. A silver aluminum bumper with Carved's Maple Wood skin woud look very nice in my opinion.
Depending on the size of your wallet this guy could do you a bespoke one he could even put some nice inlays on it such as your initials. Quality work and he has a very nice selection of woods I personally love American walnut. Like I said it won't be cheap though.

ielvis, it's true I thought you were a douche fir that snarky remark too, but to basically admit it, humble yourself, find another link, and not totally start flaming , you sir are a true gentleman. Are you sure your on correct site? This place is usually douche central?? Anyway your truly a class act.

My friend has this case on her iPhone and its really crappy. Its nice to look at but it doesn't fasten to the device very well and slips off. Also the inlets are too deep to use easily
