I currently have a genuine HTC 700 clear case, but quite like the look and gripabity of the Rock Quicksand Case.
What I would like to know is, does the case form a lip near the screen edge or does it sit below or flush?
and
Does it protect the camera lens?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I've got one of those cases and there is a noticeable lip around the edge of the case, it doesn't sit flush. It's not however what I would call a bulky case. The Camera is recessed inside the case so it will protect it somewhat when being put on tables etc. Personally I like the matt grippy texture of the case and they go well with the one x. Ciao

I have 2 Rock case, One black and one quicksand, they are VERY TIGHT fit, but they do not goes all around the device (top and bottom is less covered) but all corner are still well protected
I have modified the black one to fit inside my HTC dock so that it still charge the phone, it is a bit less stable than the HTC case when inserted in the dock but this does work...
The reason why I like those case better than the HTC is that they cover the camera and also provide rigidity from edge to edge... haven't used the quicksand much but this material is nice to hold in the hand. I have the international version not sure how they fit to the XL...
Seem to me that our phone was designed with the assumption we would be using a case...

I have ordered white SGP Ultra Thin Air Series case which is similar designed as Rock IMO but want to have an alternative if I wouldn't like it. Awaiting photos, thanks in advance :good:
Of course there are some pros and cons according to me and would like to know how is the Rock in comparison with SGP. The main negative point of Rock is that does not offer white color, and the positive one is that I love matte surfaces Below are my thoughts about SGP, when receive the case will finalize them.
Pros
Thin and solid design
Comes with a screen protector which does not cover the whole screen
Cons
Glossy surface, I prefer the matte
Does not protect the screen when device lays on the screen
There is a little protection of camera lens as I saw in users videos
?
Design for speakers could lower the noise but also may protect from outside impacts
DJouneyt said:
Pros

To me, this is a major negative as I would like total protection.
Cons
Does not protect the screen when device lays on the screen
Again, this is a negative as it would interfere with complete screen swiping!

For screen protector I wanted to cover the whole screen but do not want to spend about $15 more for just a screen protector. If I am not satisfied with the SGP's one may consider another And for the screen protection from the case, again I agree with you but then case would be more visible IMO. I am coming from full body cover, therefore search for the case that adds minimum bulk and protects the most but it is impossible I think So, we are not totally different but choices could vary

Hey guys.
The most concerning thing for me was protecting the camera lens. After looking around I purchased this one in blue from Ebay for under 8 quid and it's feels, looks and fits the phone perfect and fits around the camera lens snuggly and protrudes approx 1 ml above the lens allowing us to lay it down on front or back without the phone touching the surface at any time. Highly recommended, I have included a link for u to see the case for urself.

I received my Ultra Thin Air case this morning, took some quick pictures before went to work.
After using it for a day, here are my impressions:
The good points:
The case feels similar to the back of Galaxy S III, with the non-slippery coating/plastic. But it is less glossy so it does not attract grassy finger prints as much as the S III.
The case feels very good in the hand, it is extremely light, and you almost fell no weight difference with the case on.
It looks great, fitting is almost perfect, the only minor issue I can find is some of the speak grills don’t link up perfectly with the grill cut outs on the case. This is a minor cosmetic issue and the only fault I can find.
The case does protect all the corners of the phone, and will not come off that easy consider it does not wrap around the phone on all sides.
The Not so good points:
This case will not protect the screen when you lay it face down, as it doesn’t have raised lips around the sides.
The case does protect the camera lenses as it protrude very slight around the lenses (maybe 0.5mm), But it is too shallow for my liking, so I’ll be using a cut out from a screen protector to cover it.
The included screen protector is too narrow for my liking. The side cut out is the same width as the screen.
The conclusion:
There are other snap-on cases that are cheaper and offer better protections for the screen and back camera. However, if you want a light minimalist case with great design and similar feel to the naked phone while still offer good protection, than this might be the case for you.
Personally I found £17 a bit too much for this case, as I’ve much cheaper cases offer the same protection (see last two pics). However, those made the One X feel cheap in the hand and masked the beautiful design. With this snap-on cover, I have no problem show case this phone; the phone looks and feels just as good with this case on.
P.S. Click on the image in the po-up window to to launch the photo in a new window, then click the photo again to see it in full resolution, or you can right click an image below and select "open link in a new tab".
P.P.S. Photographed using the Galaxy s III, images looks very good even after compressed by XDA, I think it is a bit better than the camera on the One X.
As far as screen protector issue is concerned its the same for every screen protector out there coz One X has a slight curve n the protector is gonna develop bubbles if it reaches the sides..but its an Ultra Oleophobic Film n comes with a hardness rating of 3H so its almost impossible to scratch..
N all the hard cases of each n every phone come shy of the screen so its not an issue..n if u have the screen protector on then u don't have to worry coz as I said its one of the toughest protectors out there..
N as far as I can make out from the pics the camera is protected ..I mean its not gonna touch the surface when u put the phone down..its the same as my official c700 case..
But the fact is that I have searched a lot n also bought some cases for my HOX but all of them completely spoil the look n feel of One X..this is the most gorgeous looking cases out there..n its not cheap plastic but polycarbonate so it feels good too n won't get scratched that easily..

Clean your screen thoroughly first with the cloth n lift off any particles with a cello tape..make sure u dont have a single particle on the screen..then start applying the protector from the top n gradually peeling off the back layer as u go down..n make sure that while going down u remove any bubbles if any immediately even before completion of application as they will become harder to remove later on..
If u aren't sure then check out any video on YouTube..but don't spoil it coz its an awesome protector n separately it costs $13..

Well, the application was a success It's the best I've ever done while applying a screen protector. It was probably due to the fact that the film doesn't reach the edge . To anyone wondering, the edge of the film is hardly noticeable!

Not at all, there is no difference with photo taken with or without this case mate.
The best feature of this case is it makes the phone much securer to hold, as the stock back is very slippery. The back of this case is like a less glossy version of SIII.
P.S. Added couple of photos, the 1st one was taken with the case, and 2nd one without the case.
Thanks very much.
I ask this becouse i saw somewhere that problem with that case.Now im not concerned any more and ill buy this case
thanks
When the hell did sgp make this????
I had this case on the HTC 8X in grey and it was easily one of the best cases I've ever had on any phone. The thinness, feel and texture was great.
As a first case for the HTC One I decided to buy this one but in black instead of grey to match with the light aluminum. It's a great case, it feels great, adds grip and the matte color is awesome. The grip and feeling on the back is superb. However, for that matte look, the black case texture/material is a little different than the one I had on the grey for the 8X.
It attracts finger prints and sweat or grease of your fingers. If it wasn't for this, this case would be perfect, at least for me.
If you don't live on a humid place or don't have have problems with finger prints, get this case by all means. Where I live it's almost 80%-95% humid all year so even if I don't have sweaty hands, it's inevitable that they get moist.
To sum up, it's a wonderful case, despite the problem with the smudges on the back. For that detail alone, it won't be for anyone as it would need to be cleaned two or three times a day to avoid the greasy/moist look on the back.
I do plan to get one in grey as the one I had on the 8X had an even better texture and feel and it didn't attract stains or finger prints at all. AT ALL. It was also a much of a darker grey that it showed on the pictures and I liked it even more when I got it.
For scratch protection, minimum bulk and great look and feel, this is a very good case.

I like the open top and bottom because it adds to the lightweight of the case and allows the natural aluminum color to be displayed prominently. The accessibility of the USB port and the power button is great because there is nothing around them.
This kind of case is only for scratch protection but that's the kind I'm always looking for.
I've also recently purchased this case in black. I LOVE the look of this case and one of the main features I like is that it still manages to maintain the ultra slim look and feel of the HTC One. This case really does fit well and doesn't detract from the stellar good looks of the phone.
One thing I do look for in these slim cases is that if the top edge of the case is slightly raised above the glass. That's a positive for me as I do not use screen protectors. With the top edge of the case raised just a hair it makes it easier to put my phone face down without worrying about scratching the glass. The Incipio Feather does have this very slight edge thankfully.
The only downside so far is that I've had to return my first case due to cracks. The two top corners of the case started to show stress cracks for some reason. In fairness they could have already been there as the first case I bought was already opened at the store and could have been a previous return. I didn't really check it that closely. It could have also been from me being a little aggressive taking the phone out of the case once to show somebody how slim it was. It fits really well so I may have forced it a little too hard.
The store did replace the case as it was previously opened and I checked the new one pretty carefully so no issues so far with the replacement. I'll post back here if any cracks appear again. Just in case you get one, be careful removing or installing the case and you should be fine. If you want the ultimate in good looks, decent grip and scratch protection then you won't go far wrong with this one. If you're one of those folks that likes the big armoured cases then this one isn't for you and nothing to see here.
This case will give you some basic protection while still maintaining the look and feel of the phone. And admit it, the look and feel of the HTC One is at least half or more of the reason you bought this awesome phone in the first place! Cheers!

You can contact Incipio about this. The case comes with a one year warranty and I'm sure they'd be willing to cover that and replace it.:good:
I've bought a few cases for the One and this is definitely my favorite, all the rest I enjoyed but missed the slim line feel. The incipio is the best of both worlds.

Just ordered one of these.
I'm seeing a lot of reviews on Amazon with the lighter colored ones hazing up flash pictures. Seems to be a common thing with close cutouts for the LED. Black cases are going to be the best to avoid flash interference.
Got mine and yes it's definitely one of the most minmalist cases I've ever used. Be careful with this one as it doesn't afford much in the way of drop protection but you already knew that...
The lip over the screen is a bit shorter than I'd like, still need to be wary of setting it down screen down just in case.
However for those that prefer the naked feel but don't want to be paranoid of scratching the back when sitting on a table, you will like this!
Be wary the plastic cutout piece along the top where the volume rockers and usb charging port are quite thin and can break if stressed too hard when putting the case on and especially taking it off, just take you time and be gentle.
The black finish does show finger grease but is easily cleaned. The incipio dual is the same way. At least it doesn't scratch super easy like some of the smooth and glossy backs.
No case is perfect, that's why I have a drawer full of different cases!
I like the minimalist look, but does anyone know of any similar type 'snap on' cases that has a bigger lip over the corners/edges so that the screen is more protected?
My friend has this case in grey, and hers started peeling/chipping on the back after a few months of use. She contacted Incipio and they'll be sending her a new case which is good...
I picked up a case for my HTC One at best buy. It looks 100% identical except for the logo on the back of the case. Very nice case.

There is the Poetic Palette and Nillkin Hard Case/Shell. I can't say about the front lip for the screen as I don't own them but you can search for pictures and see if it is more prominent than the lip on the feather.

Where can I find power bank wireless charger?
I want to get one.How Can i get it
Just wanted to post this item as I have just received one and I will say that it is pretty much perfect for what I wanted.
It is nicely packaged, includes extra screws and protects the corners while being extremely light and maintaining the One's premium feel.
It does NOT protect the back side, even on a table. This is fine for me as all I really care about is denting the corners. Also the power button takes a bit getting used to hitting as it is recessed, but there is no way around this with this design.
It took almost 3 weeks to get here and I will probably order a spare silver one.
I have attached some pics for you.

I'm from the school of thought that A. we destroy the original engineering as little as possible B. some scratching, scuffing is reasonable wear and tear on an item. So, I do no see any point in using a back cover. Like I said, I have dropped the phone 3 times and dented the top corners and it has create a small gap on one corner so I think it's important to protect the corners. For me I also have accidental warranty so if I smash the screen it's only $100 to get a replacement.
The feel of this phone is too nice to ruin it with plastic film.
Looks nice, does it add much weight to the phone and how easy is it to install and finally would it okay with a glass protector?

Dead simple install and is is VERY light. It is honestly the best IMHO. As for your Screen protector, I can't see why it wouldn't, unless the screen protector extends past the bezel.
about back protector = I would say it realldy depends on what kind of protection you need.
If keeping your device brand new and shiny for as long as possible, you should definitely get one. Otherwise, if a few scratches or wear marks are acceptable to you it is not something you have to consider. However I've always been a user of screen protectors as they are barely visible if applied correctly - and keep your device's value at its best if you plan to resale it someday.
I have tested many protections (incipio feather shine, dual pro, belkin, urban armor gear and finally this aluminium bumper.
I would not recommend this last one for daily use, as IMHO it really does not offer drop protection (shock absorbtion is not one of aluminium blends's characteristics) and prevent the screen to shatter in case you drop it from pocket height. For this reason I will stick with dual pro or UAG cases. But if you're really careful with your device, and just looking for small amount of protection and no bulk addition, then this might be the perfect one for you.
...oh, and I can confirm it adds not weight at all.

I'm sure it's probably fine. The one non draco I have is great so I can't see the fake draco being crap so long as it is aluminum. Just a guess though.
I think it would fit just fine with a spigen gtr on there the glass it not edge to edge or top to bottom.

I've got it and I think it does so I took it out. Not sure if it goes for everyone but from my experience it does. Especially when I was using WiFi at home when I didn't have the bumper case my WiFi signal was always full bar but soon as I put it on it fluctuates between 2 and 3 bars. Just my personal experience I've read from some people that it doesn't affect their signal so maybe mine was a factory defect

the case does not cover the edges of the display, but i can only see a thin thin line of the bezel between the case and the screen.
I have this one and it's pretty cool, no problems with it.

I just got this one today it comes up the sides just to the edge of the screen and doesn't come above it, covers the beloved dimple, but hardly adds any size to the phone to wreck the feel in the hand.

I also have the below Incipio, better protection but ruined the shape of the phone I couldn't even leave it on a whole day.

Does this have the "sandpaper" texture to it? It looks exactly like this case, except this one is hard: Amazon, Sandpaper Case
I have this case. Very slim, doesn't have a lip to protect the screen when you set it down but it gives you the edge to edge swipe you want.

I'm using the poetic palette as well.
I like it so far, but I also like the diatonic for the protection, button feel, and lip protection. However, the diatonic feels a bit too fat.

I wouldn't call it sandpaper but it does have a slightly rough texture.
I think the Anker, Sandpaper, Bear Motion and the Poetic are all the same case with different branding.

I think the Sandpaper one is a hard case though. The Anker is flexible. I'm leaning towards the Anker--but yes. You're correct.
i got the quicksand. same as the anker sandpaper bear motion. it feels great and does not slide on slick surfaces. i think its the perfect case. only downside is it does not protect the glass.
i am giving away a couple of them maybe a few. over on the moto x support forums. go comment with an idea for the phone and get a chance to win it.

Anyone try the Reveal case by Griffin? How does it compare to the SUPCASE monkey082506 had posted a link to earlier in this thread?
Broke the rear glass
Top-right corner is totally broken and there's a crack thru the whole glass.
At the moment I put some silicon on the corner to avoid pieces of glass from falling, but I need now a case, a very very very slim one.
Bought one from Amazon that was supposed to be slim but... the problem is that the cover on the two longer sides is too high, meaning it is higher than the white aluminium side. Not sure I can explain...
I'm looking for the slimmest and thinnest case that just covers the back and not much on the sides.
Any help?
Thanks

I had this one and it was the thinnest I could find. The only real protection is on the back of the phone which proved to be what I needed most. It finally cracked one morning I woke up from my couch and did a full stretch putting my phone into my ceiling fan on high. The case initially took a little get used to due to me being accustomed to the excellent grip from the cloth official Google case. In short, is worth the price, absolutely! Would I buy again, No.
I know this one, too thick and on the sides is too high

That's what I have and it's really thin
This is an extremely thin case but not cheap. I have it and it super nice.

Practically identical, and may be exactly what you're looking for. I have both, and love them.

+1 to this. My favorite case, but it scares me to carry it sometimes. Super nice, super thin. Don't imagine it will protect much though.

By far the thinnest one I've owned and the way it fits around the edges is pretty flush. Fits like a glove and feels good in the hand. Not really good for protection though if you drop it, but more like a wrap to keep it from getting dinged up.
I can post a photo of mine later if you want one.

I'm actually interested in getting this exact case, but in Wine Red. Are there any issues with screen protectors? Would appreciate a photo as well.

I no longer use glass screen protectors, moved to Skinomi(best screen protector I've found so far).
When I did use them, I used curved ones and the case fit EXACTLY to the edges of it. Everything fit like a glove.

Good to know. I also use film screen protectors (currently using a Sparin one, as the Spigen was sold out at the time) as they don't have the issues that tempered glass ones suffer with curved screens.
