Hello, pretty new to this forum, but just wanted to thank everyone for the help in advance. I know there are similar threads and there is a master thread for cases, but I've looked though most of it and was unable to find a solid answer.
Basically, I am looking for a semi transulent thin case for the HTC One XL (US Version) that provides a lip for camera protection. I have found some interesting models online, but I am unable to figure out if they would be comptabile with the US version. If anyone could link me or provide insight on the fit to the US model that would be great.
I have listed below a few names of possible cases that I need verification on for fit to US version.
Nillkin Hard Cover Case (White)
HTC HC C700 Ultra Thin Hard Shell Case (Clear) <--- Would be my favorite option, but most concerned about fit
BENKS Magic Cookies <--- Looking for a place to buy this, but also concerned about fit
Once again, I understand that there are similar threads, but this thread is mainly concerned with the fit to the US version of the HTC One X.
Thanks gain.
buddy, try the xl forums. i dont think the internatinal hox forums can help you. we all have the int hox, and minimal people have both, ue luck is better off there.
also, cases that are stated for the int hoc would have misaligned camera holes for the lte hox, so really no luck for you there
I'll give you my experience.
I bought an AT&T One X and lots of cases (8) for the US Version One XL, unfortunatelly I received a Grey one instead of the one I requested so I took the paypal money and bought and international version and let me tell you that all my cases, car dock and desktop dock work like if it was the same phone, and to be honest with you I saw no difference in tickness.

Has anyone came across any armbands for GN?
Will SGS2 ones fit our phones?
I tried a Belkin SII armband, didn't fit at all. Too short and struggled to take it out... Will keep looking.
I found this site - http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
But sort of looks a little dodge
& there is also this one - http://docteur-gsm.com/en/samsung-galaxy-nexus/9461-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-armband.html
I'm also interested in this. Saw a few on ebay.com and Amazon, but I am always a bit wary to buy from these sellers, especially when they claim a GN fit but have an iPhone or the like in the stock image.
I am interested in this as well.
thanks

Found this....
http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
at least it has an android phone shown in the image rather than iphone....
yeah i found the same link (see above)
Who will be first to order from that site?? I might wait for them to pop up on ebay first
Someone said tunebelts fit. Dude said it fit the same as his Droid X did.
If that helps at all.

That one?
I am looking too...
A problem I see with most Armbands is the position of the headphonejack which is on the bottom on the Galaxy Nexus.
Fitting wise when I checked dimensions of different phones the Desire HD armbands should fit.
Desire HD = 68mm height
Galaxy Nexus = 67.94
So I'm gonna try the Desire HD one from igadgitz.com
It also has the jack on the bottom...

Yep, that's the one he claimed fit his Gnex just like his previous Droid X. He said he thought it fit because the Gnex is thinner than the Droid X.
Can't find original post, sorry.

I just put an order in for this armband. It's on sale for $14 with free shipping. I will report my findings once it arrives.
yes plz do!!
I have been speaking with someone at Tune Belt about their products for the GN and I got this response today:
Hi Adam,
I just got back from the Verizon store and this phone fit into AB84 pretty nicely. The AB84 has to stretch a bit to fit the length of the Nexus. There's a bit of extra depth even with AB84 but it is not too bad. AB85 is way too big.
Best regards,
Richard

So I think I will be buying one here shortly and I will let you know my experience. For reference, here is the product link: http://www.tunebelt.com/ab84
nice, thanks for the info!
Might have to try the TuneBelt product...
I got the same reply from Tunebelt, AB84. Said it's at the limits in length, but the headphone jack lines up nicely.
I have a suggested mod for any of the tunebelt products. The attached pics are from their waistband, but will easily work with the others as well. I don't trust velcro, and because the GN is slightly larger than other phones...even more so. I've used this belt for my OG Droid as well as my HTC Thunderbolt, but ain't takin' chances on this gorgeous new phone.
For $2 at Walmart, you can grab a kit of (I think 8) snap buttons. Very easy to install. You can do it right through the velcro, or use a sharp blade and shave the velcro patches right off/out (less to push through). Line up your rivets,etc on each side of the material and just tap with a hammer on a hard surface. Easy peasy.
LOVE it and don't have to worry about velcro coming undone and my phone flying down the street

I have the tunebelt from my Droid X and it fits, but the problem with almost all of these armbands is that the plastic cover never sits flush on the screen. Thus, the issue is that changing tracks or checking the phone is just all the more difficult while running, etc. Belkin made a great armband for the iPhone 3 (sister's) that sits very flush to the screen. I wish they had a SGN version.
Anyway, keeps us posted on iarmbands product. Would love to hear specifically how the clear plastic skin sits against the SGN screen. Thx.
Recently went to best buy and was looking for arm band case and found this:
[I am not allowed to post the link until I have 8 posts according to forum rules, but if you go to bestbuy.c*m and search for "Rocketfish arm band android" It will locate the product for you]
Although a 'generic' case, it actually fits the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) pretty well (nice and snug) and the headphone jack lines up with the cutout. I also found it relatively easy to navigate the screen while in the case.
Just though this might help anyone looking for arm band case.
Hey, I was wondering if anyone had some first-hand feedback in regards to armbands to use while running. I've seen some cheap ones on Amazon, I was wondering if anyone had more information on one they have/use/etc. THANKS!!!

I purchased the "HTC EVO 4G Armband / Arm Band by iArmbands" from amazon (can't post outside links yet) some time ago before there were any options specifically for the E4GT and have actually been quite pleased with it. I had to cut off the top flap on the back because the phone is a bit too long to fit in with it.
The phone fits quite snugly and the screen works very well through the cover. I've run through some heavy sprinklers with this and it does pretty well, though most recently it did let enough water in to mess with the battery a little (they were some very serious sprinklers). It's also comfortable enough to wear for a few hours. All in all, it works surprisingly well considering it isn't even designed for our phone.
Hey guys,
I know this is not a matter of life & death situation re: (bootloops, phone wouldn't turn on, bricked, etc)
Anyways,
Here at my place, I couldn't find any available case for my One X international version, all i can see here in my place are for the AT&T One XL.
I couldn't try one because it is sealed properly and kinda expensive (around 20$ minimum), so I wouldn't dare open one just to check if it fits properly.
I know that they are almost exactly the same size, but the one XL is 0.4mm taller than the One X:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4320&idPhone2=4572
I would like to know from you guys who owns the international version that tried the case for one XL if that 0.4mm would matter much.
I just dont want my case to be a bit loose.
Thanks for those who will help:angel:

I actually had a One XL case for my One X and it was fine for a bit but then it started to slide ever so slightly up and down. Since it as a silicon case, the sliding got bigger and bigger. I mean, if you're okay with a little sliding I would say go for it, but One XL cases are not exactly the best choice.

That is what I am concerned about. thanks for your reply.
guess i would have to buy my case online
Yes it is the one x differ to the xl in one thing the chipset the measurement are the same
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I have an Otterbox Commuter for the XL and it works fine. Though it covers the top of the camera but there is no issue with it when taking photos.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
My OneX International fits the same cases as my dad's OneXL (at&t but in Australia) - His fits some fairly tightly and mine fits some a little looser but they all "fit well" in my opinion (really I have about 8 different cases and they ALL fit differently anyway - .4mm is not a big difference)
But there is a DEFINITE (albeit small) difference in the length of the two models - it's NOT just the chipset at all...
Hi all, just received my new HTC one M8 today and glad I went for it, been an avid HTC user since they first came out and am really pleased.
Looking for a bit of advice. I have copied an image onto the front screen as a widget from the android image gallery and then one of one of my own photos, however it is tiny, any way of increasing the size????. On my previous HTC one X it was approx 3/4 centimeter square but on the new M8 it is about a 1/4 square.
Also looking for a case that will protect it from the elements as spend a lot of time in dusty conditions. Looking at the Supcase beetle defender or the Love MEI case. Both these cases have an extra glass and dust covers over the ports. Anyone any advice which to go for????. My only concern re the Love MEI one is that all of them seem to be in China or come from China so not sure of the authenticity.
Thanks again all

For suggestions on cases for the device check this thread: One (M8) Accessories There are plenty of threads where they discuss cases.
I'm not really sure about the other point you have, are you using a specific app to make widgets of pics? If so, which? I don't see an option to do such a thing on my phone, so I can't really test it and see if I can find a solution to it. Not much help there, sorry.
Has anyone found a case other than the included one that works on the Bold N1. This included case won't last long and I would like something a little more protective..
It seems that finally some protective cases for the new BOLD-N1 cellphones are starting to appear on Amazon/USA!

I'd be a little careful buying these - the pictures don't look like the N1 at all. Blu Vivo maybe?
Thanks for your advice!
I contacted the seller of these cases that apparently are for BOLD-N1, but I could not get them to send me some photos of these cases, to check if they were for the Bold-N1 and also if they were of good quality or not.
I also discovered, seeing some photos on Amazon (of the same case, but for another cellphone model), that unfortunately these cases come in two parts (a flat back and a side edge), which causes them to disassemble alone and not adequately protect the phone:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VDG42PS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AEBRMS661YQSQ&psc=1
To top it all, these cases are sent from China and it would take several weeks to reach the US.
For all the above, I decided not to order this case, as it does not seem to be a good quality product.
