Hello everybody,
I should get my HTC ONE X in a week or so, and I wanted to order a SP.
Now, I have been going back and forth with those two SP (realook and skinomi) and I can't decide which one is the best..
-Both of them are wet application.
What do you say guys? Which one is better?

Made in the usa.
Or get cheap chinese ones, 1$/2pieces
Or screenguardz or bodyguardz (5-9 dollars for full body)
The ones you mentioned, imo, are no better than chinese ones.
If u get cheap ones u can change them often.
You can do wet application of any of these even if the solution isnt provided, just make a mixture of soap and water and use it

How come the ones I mentioned aren't better than Chinese ones, but Screenguardz or Bodyguardz are better?
I checked for many reviews and the ones I mentioned pretty good.
I don't want to make a mixture of soap and water because I am afraid it will ruin the SP or the phone itself.
So, what do you say guys? which SP is better?
I do not have experience with realook, but i'm ordering. .95 cents skinomi as it seem to be the few who have edge to edge covering the cheap china one tend to be too narrow or will lift up around the edge, after 1-2 days.

WORKING SKINOMI LINK -- and it's $.99 + $2.95 shipping, but still not bad, and it beats the $16 + $2.95 for the others with the back skin if you don't need it.
Just ordered one as well, since I'll have my phone before SGP has their new SGP Ultra Nano in stock and shipped
Thanks.. Just picked one up. Even with the $2.95 shipping... its a bargain!

Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I failed at copy/paste
OP is updated
Thanks op for this deal. Was about to order one from the regular site but you saved me around 6 or 7 bucks.
I wonder if they're blowing it out because of the curved screen and they fubar'd their first attempt at making a screen protector.

Me too, they did the 99 cent thing for the HTC One X early on and people gobbled them up. Overwhelming majority of reviews were negative and some concluded that the batch was defective which explained the price slash.

Interesting. Well I guess there's 3-4 of us who will know for sure. I'd be happy to come back in here and let yall know if it's a screw up when mine comes in the mail.
I have this screen protector in my s3 and it sticks pretty well to the screen. My only complain is the orange peel effect
I ordered one of these. Hopefully the orange peel isn't too bad. I currently have the realook one installed but when I put my cruzerlite case on the edges start to come up.
I've always wondered if these types of protectors provide more protection than the hard/dry protectors

Seems like you guys maybe right. I just got mine in today and the film was kind of stuck to the plastic bag it was in which resulted in some weird bubble imprints on the top of the screen protector. I'll try to get a picture up tomorrow. I'm letting it sit overnight to see if the weird markings on it come out.
I just applied mine last night and after a nights dry, it seems a bit on the tacky side. Its not as smooth as I would like, kinda hard to swipe. But I will give this a day or 2 more to fully dry and judge from there.

They don't provide more or less, they seem to be on par.
The real differences are how long they last. Skimomi type repair themselves, can take hits that would usually damage the dry hard type, doesn't usually peel off if applied correctly. That's why most have a lifetime warranty. And the reason they come singular or in a two pack (mostly if you mess up installation, you have that spare), but not 3-5 packs, because you're gonna have to put another one on in a few weeks...
This has been my experience..

Just put mine on, the orange peal is much smoother than the original Zagg on my inspire, however the holes don't fit perfectly, they fit, just not as well as i would like.
Immediately after install any white on the screen looks very pixelated with a rainbow of colors, anyone else get this? Does it go away? Please tell me it goes away, if not i am going to rip it off right now.
Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next
:good:
I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say
I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.
Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.
So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

I have Rock "Quicksand" case with the Xperia S.
Dropped it from around waist level to the hard ground. No scratch.
So.. when I got One, I quickly try to find a Quicksand series but they don't seem to made it yet.

Search on amazon for the bear motion case. I had the quicksand for my s3 and this bear motion feels just like that.

Thanks, I already ordered something similar from ebay (not bear motion). I believe they came from the same wholesale retailer and slap different brand on it...
I was wondering if there is any Button stickers for the HTC One to make them easier to press? I think it was kinda stupid of them to make the buttons flush with the device, but that could just be me. I realize that if there is anything to make the buttons better, that it will cover the IR blaster....but....doubt Ill ever use that anyways.
Get a UAG case, they're case isnt a cutout for the buttons, rather a nice rubber addon. This is one reason why I specifically got this case, and the IR blaster works as well (haven't tested but others have said it works).
I personally hated the idea of keeping it flush but now kernels have sweep to wake and stuff so you really never need to use the power button.

Nice! I think that is the best looking case for HTC One so far! The price is kind of steep though - Otterbox prices.
Is the screen protector any better than those cheap normal ones?
PS- Don't get the white one, as much as how nice it looks, there is some flash glare problems with it for taking pictures at night.
And ya it is pretty steep but I mean the protection is just on par with otterbox cases, personally.
The screen protector is decent, I don't use it because I buy my screen protectors off this one ebay seller, but it looks like a good one.

Will review this once I get my hands on it
I have it. Nothing much to review really, it's just your usual generic TPU case.
If you insist on one, a redditor posted this Orzly TPU case review (which I'm almost sure is the same one really, just with a higher price tag):
On a personal note - I quite like it. Fits the device well with ports for everything. Pressing the volume/power button can be a tad harder, but nothing major really. Is quite "grippy"/rough on the back. I also have a tempered glass screen protector (by Orzly) and it seems to cover that up too with almost no buffer left (with less of a "bump"', obviously, between the screen and the top of the case).
In any case, you really can't go wrong with a dollar. You'll surely find something better down the line in a month or so (see the Diztonic case that's coming), but this is good, even if you'll only use it until a better one comes out.

When ordering my device from AliExpress I ordered the TPU case bundled with it, for exactly the reason I mentioned previously - so I have something up until a better case comes along.
I ordered it to the UK, but I'm sure that if you have Amazon or eBay locally you can find a seller that can ship that to quite fast.

I'm planning on getting the Diztronic case as well, don't get it me wrong - it does look great. But again, you can't go wrong with a dollar, I mean, you probably paid more to get to work today than on this case, so even if you served you protection for a couple of hours it's still worth it, time/money-wise.
Thanks for sharing

Wait for the diztronic case it'll be ready by the end of the week is the estimated date. Keep a eye out on the diztronic thread. It'll cost $10 but is of high quality.

I guess I'll have to. I hate letting my phone go naked for even 2 hours, I may just keep it in the box until I get my hands on the diztronic.
$10 isn't that much considering I spend almost that much on a Chipotle burrito for lunch...

3 of them for only $13 shipped is pretty amazing. I wonder if they are any different in quality than the $20 ones, I mean tempered glass is tempered glass, right?
