I'll let you know when it actually arrives
From the looks of the pics it looks like the battery cover is slightly thicker than the stock cover, so it should protect the camera lens from scratching.

thanks ! have been looking for these for a while !

I'm actually after a spare stock rear battery cover. Anyone seen them being sold online or at a shop?

Thanks! I'll buy the black one, because I don't want to scratch the original one.

I dont think you could scratch the original one even if you tried. Its made of perforated plastic and is rough to touch anyway.

I think these might be cool for parties etc

Depending on the price I'd love to get a yellow and green one!

Well I actually bought the white one, will post pictures/comments when I have it. If people are interested

Here you can buy an original one:

Yes please. Im interested in the White one and would love to see how it looks in real life.

Ordered a black one just because it has the Galaxy S II logo on the back
Should look nice with my translucent black TPU case.

Thanks for that!

Nice link, shame the only colour they seem not to do is the one I want (red)

I'd like to se e metal ones. Maybe somthing the same colour as the metal on the outer rim of the phone would look good.

I would be very interested in one if these if they played nice with the Zagg invisibleShield FULL BODY maximum coverage or easy install. The stock back has the texture which makes the invisible shields look like junk and peel.
Anyone want to be my guinea pig?? =D

If the price was right, it would be cool to be able to switch the back cover to suit the colour of your wallpaper. $13 seems a little steep though. If it had been $6 I might have gone for a couple.
Interested to see what they look like in reality though.

I'm not sure the technical aspect of what you just said however I'll try to answer as best I can.
GH is a skin film that goes over your phone to protect it from scratches, nicks etc.
It comes with a clear film that goes on the front also and acts as a screen protector as well
You guys can learn more about it from their site. Just google their name & you'll easily find it!

any news of these going on ebay?

Sounds good

I doubt that there will be any housing for our version of galaxy s2 anytime soon.
There's not a single oem housing or after market for the black, so chances are when you're tired of this phone, they might have something for it.

I've had both the black and white, and I had to stay with the white to get the free offer, and I prefer the black one. For one, the light doesn't bleed in the front buttons, second, the white is completely smooth. So it slides off everything. I like the texture of the black one. Plus the black gives the phone a smooth look. The white clearly points out where the screen ends.

I wouldn't get rid of the white phone just because of that. Keep it dude. The white IMO looks way sexier then the black one. When you look at a black GS2 from far away it looks like a normal phone, some even think its a regular gs1 or gs1 4g. whereas when people see the white gs2 they actually ask what phone it is and it looks nice etc...
Also it looks really cool at night (the backlight leaks more in the white)
The shiny portions are determined to come off. you can't do nothing about it. Unless you get those rubber gel cases.

Glad you chose to stick w the white one. Good choice!
I'll see if the coating on the silver bar comes off and exposes a shiny silver instead.
Believe it or not my previous device had similar material in the battery door and that thing scratched like a cat was going at it. So I decided to scratch the coating off w my nails at work one day took me an hour or two but bam it revealed a shiny back door that doubled as a mirror!

i-Blason HD Matte Bubble Free Screen Protector

http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Prot...d=1368499998&sr=8-2&keywords=HTC+one+i-blason
http://www.i-blason.com/bubble-free-scree-protector-for-htc-one.html
This screen protector looks very interesting, and the fact that it's reusable makes it that much more appealing. I always seem to have a problem installing screen protectors on my phones, and the HTC One was no exception. I'm wondering if anyone would be kind enough to review and post pictures of the phone with this protector on.
It reminds me of the Moshi i-Visor screen protectors for the iPhone 4/4s/5. It seems that this screen protector offers scratch protection around the phone's black bezel portion as well as its screen. There are no pictures other than the stock photo posted on the website so I'm wondering if the black border is see-through or if it completely shields the capacitive home and back buttons as well as the HTC logo. That might be the only no-go for me.

Looks promising. How does it compare to the tempered glass protector from SGP?
http://mobile.brando.com/Brando-Wor...Rounded-Edition-HTC-One-_p09603c1619d008.html
It needs a firmware update to work but does that apply to the i-Blason as well? Doesn't it cover the touch sensitive buttons?

I just ordered one today should be getting it tomorrow I'll post pics and a quick review.

I got it a day late than promised as the description says it takes seconds to install, it fits great on the screen has cutouts for the buttons and logo the only thing it has a not so HD finish, has a huge impact on the ones great display

Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

wait, so it doesn't have a blk border that covers the capacitive area?
The picture they show makes it look like it has a blk border and covers the whole screen area and blacks out the capacitive buttons.
Son of A... That the only reason I ordered it.
Why couldnt HTC make the buttons invisible when the backlight is off like on the S3 and 4? Makes it not look so outta place when using on softkeys.

Thank you Jrtedz, and welcome to XDA!
The screen protector does look nice, but the fact that it only covers the screen is unusual.
I already have a screen protector on so I may pass on these screen protectors.
When you say it makes the screen not-so-HD, what do you mean? Does it make the screen appear grainy?
I've ready a few reviews that this screen protector has that sort of problem.
Anyways, appreciate the short review and pics, you deserve a cookie lol.

Thanks and yeah pretty much has a grainy finish to it didn't really like so I'll wait till the tempered one comes in

Am I the only one who noticed that in their picture they used an evleaks leaked promo shot of the One?

Mine came in today I want my money back.
So you can get an idea what screen protector actually looks like.

Cool. Thanks for the headsup. I read your previous comment from the other day and understand what you mean. Its disappointing that they didn't provide the product that they pictured. I also noticed the evleaks watermark, so obviously something was up there too.

Hi, I actually ordered Brando's tempered glass protector and I tried on my One already... but I was very disappointed coz the Back and Menu key are not functionable at all :crying:
Then I email them to ask for solution or properly a refund, but they told me to update the firmware..... Actually, I'm using Trickdroid 5.5.4 at that moment, how come still not working?! So, I try to ask them for refund but no replies at all until now.....

transparent Cover turned brown by htc one's heat.

i use a transparent cover for my htc one. after 2 months of normal use the cover's colour turned brown like burned plastic. i could see the real difference when i bought a new one.

I think producers directly do their covers in this way, to make us to buy the new ones.

Good idea. However, is the silicone so weak against comparatively not high temperature, that its colour is changing due to the heat?

The color change is too uniform to be from heat of the phone. If it was the heat of the phone you'd see a pattern relative to the hotter places on the phone. I use a Cimo clear case on my M7 and after 3 months of continuous use, it is still as clear as new.

If the heat from phone could do that, than heat of your body (having phone in pocket) would do simmilar..
I think that the case just "yellowed" - typical problem on cheapo cases.
Next time buy dark one or don't put that rubber on it at all.
I think cases which try to be invisible look much more disgusting than those "dark by nature".

Your opinion, of course. My clear case doesn't detract from the phone at all, IMO. It gives a bit of cushion should I drop it and raises the glass up just enough to keep it from contacting the surface dropped upon.

I've got that exact case in black and all though I like transperant cases I can't get over how much the Ones silver looks with black it makes it looks so much more sleek.

Guys...it's just dirt. My friend has a similar white case for his S3 and now it's all brown. It just gets dirty over time. That's why I never buy light TPU cases or any kind of white case. I just stick to black ones.

My Case turned blue somehow. I think it's cause of my trousers. If I have the phone in my pocket its rubbing against the trousers and the colour sticks to the TPU.
That's my thaught..

Wait did it turn brown or blue? You say brown in the title but in your post you say blue.
