I really like the HTC double dip (red/gray) case, but just a little heads up folks.
Make sure that the inside of the flaps that cover the speakers have no remnants (bumps) from manufacturing before putting it on your one.
Putting mine on the phone has actually scratched the silver aluminium near the front camera opening.
I thought I was being very careful buying this case to protect the device. How bitter sweet is irony now.
Just be careful folks, hate anyone else to have their HTC one scratched by it.
Dang, thats no good. Thanks for the heads up! Did you get the flip version or just the standard double dip case?

The standard one with the back / red & grey speaker grill covers.
Yeah my heart sank when I took off the red part on top to show someone my beautiful new phone and then saw the scratch, and then discovered the little (and I mean seemingly inconsequential) bump in the plastic inside the red part.
Yay for HTC and their double dip cases of less-than-superb quality.
My brother had the same problem, however, mine was fine on the inside the problem was a small moulding defect or the outside which stabbed you in the hand. A replacement is now on its way.

Any cases that need resembling had higher chances of scratching the phone... just my share
I got this case and the quality was not as good as I expected, very disappointing. I should have checked the forums first
same problem
same problem here, i was hopint buying a case from HTC that i would have a good if not the best protection, now i have my M7 scratched and my camera glass cracked..
I have bought 2 double flips from Ebay.
Not genuine HTC but it's the same thing. 3 pieces of plastic just other colours.
I had no problems with them.No scratch or anything.

Well, I just bought it. If anybody wants, I can post pics or do a review when I get it... Just let me know..
alright ! sounds good man, i was waiting for the otterbox but i might have to give this a try first lol
make a mini review when you do get it
thanks!
Will do. Should be in by Friday-Monday it says.
It was the only positive thing about my Vibrant. I have a very disappointing Seidio case on my MT4G that was waiting on an Otterbox but will soon be covered in a Trident.

Okay, this is definitely the best case I've ever had (Other MT4G cases I've had are: silicone, black rubberized hard case, and clear hard case). It does add some bulk, however. The material is very high quality and sturdy. There is NO creaking or anything like that. The video right above pretty much shows you everything about it, so I won't go into those details because it is much more effective to actually see it. If I can get a picture of my phone next to another MT4G without a case, I will post that. While it does add some thickness, you can't get true protection like this without a little thickness. Overall, it is a very high quality case, and I am happy with it. If you have any questions, just ask, and I will answer them for you.
Does this case like to collect dust that's all I need to know before I order it

Ordered on ePay from the Oregon seller. It arrived at my doorstep here in the SE in 2 days. Nice case - the design is well thought out and most of all, IT FITS! I kept the Realook and it took a minute or two to install. Looking through their current product offering, I see holsters and I am hopeful one will follow soon for this case.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.
- Frank
I think the case is sold out for now.
Also, the case is not hard to take off at all. I did it yesterday while I was driving a manual car in traffic on the highway. Lol...
And one side note, I do notice that the outer silicone case around the edges of the phone does attract some lint after being in a linty pocket, but I love the case overall.
Just got my yellow and black one its awesome I order mines directly from the site http://www.tridenteer.com/categories/HTC-myTouch-4G/Cyclops-Series-by-Trident-Case/

too bad it doesn't come with the kickstand. I'll stick with the one i got from tmobile now. The kickstand is absolutely invaluable.
Oh hell... I just watch the video. Nice. The deal maker for me was finally finding a quality screen protector that covers the entire front side. I also like the fact that the hard case is easy to take off.
Buying this now. Amazon Prime....
Edit: Screw Amazon on this one. "Takes two to three weeks to ship" - yet they have it on Prime. Will just buy directly from the makers.
Does the screen protector effect the proximity sensor? I've had the proximity sensor lock up the phone from being able to hang up on some screen protectors.

Heres a few pics of the casemate case for the s3. I had to go to an at&t store because bestbuy had no accessories (prolly be here on 28th right lol) and i didnt like the sprint ones. And it has a VISOR AG screen protector on it. If your like me and had no clue what these were basically its a screen protector that covers the whole front of the phone not just the screen its self. Its clear for the screen and if you notice its clear not cut out for the back and menu buttons. Then the outer layer is white or blue depending on what color you have. Also this screen protector is fingerprint and bubble free. Normally im an otterbox defender or ballistic HC guy but i gotta admit im liking this

I just ran up to the att store and bought the same setup you did. The grip on the side was most important and it is outstanding. The visor screen cover is excellent as well because there is little to no touch loss. In addition its washable and replaceable. My phone was blue and they only had the white visor, so now it appears white with the white case.
Cons: the stand is very flimsy, but I don't care I never use it.
Loving it, thanks for the heads up.

I've got the same case, direct from Case-mate (Used code 'tough' for 20% off, not sure if it's still active FYI).
I love the case, with one exception.... that kickstand is damn flimsy and unless you're on a PERFECT level surface, forget about Portrait mode. (And yes the website says it's good for portrait or laandscape).
I've emailed Case-Mate to see if they are aware of the kickstand issues and are planning to do anything about them (like retool to a metal like Seidio)....
I need to find a Seidio one local so I can see it in action to determine which I'll keep for the long haul. This one feels real nice in the hand though.
Still waiting on my screen protectors in the mail.. bought like 3 different brands (2 cheapie and 1 seidio), figure i'll try something new

Good :
- Rubber grips on the side
- Buttons click well
- Kickstand
- Feels sturdy overall
- Headphone jack area accommodates even the largest jacks.
Bad :
- Kickstand feels flimsy
- Rubber on back peels and stains the back of the case (will wipe off though)
- Back is raised so it doesn't rest on the rubber grips. It'll spin in place.
- Headphone port area cracked a little (tiny) when trying to remove phone from case. In other words, not enough plastic.
Advice: Buy but only in white (Which I have). It scratches easily like Speck cases. You won't see scratches on the white but I guarantee you'll see them all over the black one within 5 minutes of putting it on.

I wonder how this will work or if it even will work with a glass screen protector?
First off its called the ivisor. I have had this same setup for over a month now. I got tired of the sp yes it looks good but go out in the sunlight and try to use your phone its impossible to see.

I've used AG iVisor for a few phones now and they have always been outstanding. I presently have one on a SGS 2, Nokia Lumia 900 and my SGS3.
So I seem to have issue with the SGS3s iVisor. While the iVisor fits well, when I put a case on, it pushes the sides of the iVisor up and away from the screen, simply pushing it off the face of the phone. I have tried 3 different cases (non of which are the same as mentioned in the OP), that being said, the case should not matter...
Has anyone else encountered a similar problem?
I attribute it to the (almost zero edge) construction of the phone. This problem has not occurred on either of the other devices mentioned.
Yes the case does make a diffence some just push up the ivisor I have this problem with many of cases on reason I don't recommended this product.

I am not planning to get a case for my HTC One. Screen protector only. This is what I did with all my previous Android phones - Atrix, RAZR, and One XL ... however those phones were not made of aluminum. This is day 2, and my phone still looks OK. Question: has anyone else gone commando, and do you have any scratches? Is it wiser to get some kind of case?
With my old iPhone 4, I simply put a screen protector on the front and rear of the device. Is there such a thing for the HTC One?
haven't had a case for a week since i've gotten it. Still looks mint.
No case here..that's why I pay for insurance and not bothering with a screen protector...always hated those and ruins the clarity

I'm using it commando, but I'm wondering whether to get a case...
Yeah, I dropped mine twice and no major issues besides some small nicks that are making me OCD so I'm probably going to get the Poetic Atmosphere case after they release the updated version with the home button cut out. Meanwhile, I've ordered this sexy Skinomi carbon fiber skin.
Honestly, if you're going to go commando, you might as well not put a screen protector on. That's the strongest part of the phone anyway. (thank you gorrila glass)

Went full commando with by GS2 and am mostly decided on doing the same with my One. I'm considering a leather wallet-type or flip case, but no screen protectors for me...just doesn't feel the same.
I've gone naked for over 3 weeks now, can't bring myself to put a case on this beauty. Starting to get paranoid now though, and OCD with the tiniest dent at the top of the phone. I ordered this pouch last week.http://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/128631973
I haven't run cases or screen protectors on my phones in years, certainly not going to put one on this beautiful phone!
That being said, I might get a pouch for it for certain times when I have to relinquish possession of said phone for 'security' reasons. I dislike it when I can't keep hold onto it.
Personally I like to use a pouch. When I am using the phone it is commando. But when it goes in my pocket it is wrapped up safe, or when I put it on the desk I can put the pouch underneath. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

I'm leaning towards the opposite.. I haven't gotten a case yet usually I use one.
I've kept a real tight grip so far, but I know it's gonna drop soon.
I probably won't go with a defender case just maybe a nice sleek clear case or a commuter to retain some of the physical beauty.
I can't see not using a case it's a slippery phone and the glass is not worth breaking.

Just my take on it. Aluminum is not a hard metal, and it will at least dent and scratch. I would go with at least a thin TPU case. I'm using an Otterbox Defender on mine right now, but I may go with basic TPU soon.
I have never had a case for any phone and I certainly can understand why people think this is too beautiful to cover up. But for me it is too beautiful to leave it without a case and me mess it up. That's why I got the diztronic clear tpu case, happy enough with it.

Was wandering if anyone tried this. It actually looks decent on the YouTube videos I have watched. 10 with case, screen protector, and nfc tag.
Made the mistake of buying a double dip case today. Didn't do anything but I decided it wasn't worth the risk so I took it off and boxed it back up. The sales guy asked to se my phone when I was looking at it and he decided to quickly slide the phone in from the top and pop the ends on himself. I was scared to take it off. I liked the fit of the case I just didn't like the colors and was nervous about the future damage it might do.

Got mine about a week and a half ago. Got the soft suede like grey one and I love it. Looks beautiful, feels incredibly well made, sleek as can be and gets out of the way when I don't need it Based on this case and the other Nillkin cases I've had I am seriously becoming a Nillkin fanboy
I bought the black one and I am generally happy with the case. My only gripe is that the material on the inside of the flip is microfiber and boy does it get nasty... Especially around the edges.

Yes I have to agree. I have the black Nillkin flip case and in the beginning I was like this case is sweet but after that first week it's just ehhh... The inside of my case (the inside flap) is dirty and just an eyesore but the good thing is, I'm gonna cut the flap so it's not as wide and just tape it up with electrical tape for the frayed edges. I'm trying to cut it so it can fit into the cd slot in my car so I can use it as a DIY car dock sort of. One thing I have to say it does snap on well to the One. The case kinda distracts from the beauty any way. I ended up buying a phone sleeve with a card holder so I can minimize the **** in my pockets and so I wouldn't have to use a case but it's still protected while in my pocket.

I just got the Double Dip a few days ago and I love it. It's solid, but super thin, which is nice. Cases like the OtterBox make your phone huge and heavy, but his adds a minimal amount of weight and size which is nice.
The fact that it just snaps together makes cleaning really easy. You just have to unsnap, pull, and then clean. Removing the device if you want to is also really easy. You can just pull off one of the ends and then pull the device out.
It would be nice to see the Double Dip come bundled with a screen protector, but that's not too big of a deal.
The pattern on the case for the speaker holes is three rows, while device has four rows, so they don't match up perfectly. I haven't noticed any reduction in sound quality because of this though.
HTC also just released the ability to do customized Double Dip cases and I assume that you could buy some of those and snap them in with the other Double Dip cases as well (though that would require buying more than one case).
Best case I''ve ever owned for a phone. It's as minimal as it gets but still offers a great degree of protection. It's quite the looker too, a real head turner wherever I go. I love the soft touch/matte finish (think Nexus 5), makes it much easier to handle compared to the metal finish of the phone itself. One word of advice make sure your phone is free of dust and grime when you first install the case b/c it's a very tight fit and you may end up scratching the phone. other than that you won't be disappointed

very good case , using it from a month withot any complaints
Best way to take this case off? feel like I'm going to damage. Is there a pressure point someplace that will help pop off the bottom or top parts?
