I bought the Genuine HTC1 DD case and found that its really really tight sliding over my black HTC1
I got the centre section about 1/4 the way from the bottom up, before I had to start really forcing it so I decided not to keep going..
I gently pulled it off the phone and discovered it had scratched the bottom speaker curved corners each side....

For your reference, I just tried to insert my phone from both the top and the bottom and there was almost no resistance or scratching of any sort.

I have the black HTC1. There are also scratch lines on the back of the phone from the fabrication lines in the case.. Not good..
I will get some pics later today but for now, if you have a BLACK HTC1, DO NOT GET THIS CASE!
I want to get this case for my Silver but after seeing this I'm having second thoughts. When I'm going around with people, being busy I can use this and when I'm not too busy I can use a pouch I planned but not sure now.
Sorry to hear that, I have the DD case as well, it also hasn't scratched my phone, fits nice and snug. White HTC One. (Rogers / Canada)
So they still haven't solved this.....
Happened to me a month or so ago

Happened to me too on the back luckily I was able to swap mine out and get a replacement bc of the back and hone button not working.

Well maybe new ones won't have the same problem. Most sellers are out of stock and I really want to buy this case.
And also some people doing it wrong all the time; you slide your phone from up not bottom. There's a big difference.
The following site has some in stock. Ordered mine yesterday and arrived today. Nice price too.

Would you think that HTC would provide a replacement of the phone if the case which they manufacture, is scratching it? lol

yes any tight slide on case can do this, I stay away from slide on cases. Especially if you ever go around sand.

I don't have a picture, but the case is just like the mesh case in the other topic. Only difference is that it covers the top right area(where the antenna would be in the Korean version) and no holes on the back of the case.

Fits great, I just got my green one in today. It feels great in hand and fits really really well. I'm thinking about getting another color. I really really like it, Ide take pics but i don't have a camera with batteries other than the one on my phone.
I know it doesn't protect the top and bottom of the phone but if your extra careful with your phone (which i am) you don't have to worry about it too much. it has raised edges so it will protect it from a direct face first fall
i have it in black it is very nice and came with a free screen protector that i screwed up trying to put on

I ordered one of these in black, thanks for posting!
I have a good friend who decided to help me out and do some custom painting.
The paint is very low odor and after about 48 hours, there is hardly any lasting odor of the paint. Each door will be custom painted once the order is placed.
There is a purple, white, hammered copper, hammered silver, and a rubber black.
The rubber black is quite nice in that you could set on your dash and it does not slip easily, unless you drive like me
I am working on a glow in the dark cover as well. That should be done this week sometime. The first attempt did not go well and showed some markings that honestly I was not happy with.
What are your thoughts?
mmm... i got a blue evo door from there. Arrived with a bunch of the tabs broken. Oh, and with a scratch.
nice selections! i ordered clear n yellow before and fits very well. at first had some minor problems but with directions provided, it was easy. i may be interested in the rubber black. glow in the dark sounds..fun
Anybody try RIT Dye? Worked like a charm on the touch pro...
i think the paint jobs on these look amazing.
however
with absolutely no offense to joey, who spent a lot of time designing and working on the case, they have a sizeable gap between the new back and the case. its isn't too big but it is big enough to let dirt/dust/pocket lint, etc, into the phone and for that i cant get any of these.

Also no offense to Joey but I had to steer clear of these because of the gap. Active lifestyle with my phone living in my pocket means lots of dust and lint to contend with. If something changes and these gaps get fixed up, I will be on board for several of these doors.

The case I tried was a gel type case, it worked good over the door.
So is there plans for a new door? Same stuff without rails or center lip and no gaps? I would also like red without the shiny finish. Something like stock black's material would be perfect. Your doing well from the looks of it.

Hey there!
I recently broke my screen (see this thread for picks before repair), and well I repaired it and I added some'n extra for good measure:
Unveiling the 2 tone model of the Droid Incredible 2. It is simply INCREDIBLE.
(Click on the images for larger version!)
(imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/Bxzte#0)
Advantages:
1) NO Verizon branding on my phone anymore! Take that Big Red!
2) Two colors, and the oh so coveted red!!!
Disadvantages:
1) As seen in picture 2, there is NO hole for the Front facing camera! I didn't notice this while assembly, else I could have scrapped off the paint a little. I still can do it by simply opening the back and removing the mother board, but I fear I may damage the digitizer or at the least it will look ugly. Plus, I hardly (if never) use it, so I should at least be happy for a working phone again! That looks rad in its new colors!!!
Bottom line: I am loving it!
Question:
Do you prefer me to keep it like this in 2 tones, (battery cover is black, while front is red) or make it red all the way!? If so, I have a spare, unused black battery cover that I will be willing to trade with someone for either cash or a spare red battery cover. Hmm... :fingers-crossed:
Peace!

Thanks! Though shattering my Dinc2's screen was a bad thing, it led to a lot more beautiful phone!! But I don't recommend others break their screen as well! :silly:
I went to full red when I rebuilt mine, but my black battery cover was not in good shape. My sister has a white dinc2 and thinks we should trade battery covers at christmas time so we have candy cane colored phones lol
Most of my "minor" issues after replacing the digitizer is due to the issues/defects of the digitizer. The digitizer panel has no slot for FFC and the symbols above the capacitive buttons are cut out, rather than being transparent. So, when I rotate the phone, the buttons don't rotate as those symbols are etched onto the digitizer, while that area is left transparent/translucent in the case of the original digitizer... That means that in all our ICS ROMs that have issues with capacitive button back lights, I will not have this problem of course, I will not be able to rotate the buttons either, which is not the biggest feature, honestly.
So, there you have it, no FFC (I can test the FFC works by shining a torch at that area, that causes the camera output to be a red glow on the screen! lame!) and no rotating buttons!
Haha, when they sent me my Dinc2 they said all they had was red with a black back. When I got the phone it was a fully assembled red phone, back and all, and they also had a black back cover in the Verizon packaging. Just.seen the other day its still sitting in my drawer with a sticker for 19.99 lol

Does it look "cooler" in full red, or cooler in red and black. I kinda feel full red is cooler and but it may be because my black back cover is very worn. I have an unused black battery cover that VZW sent in along with the phone, which already came with a black cover, much like your red phone... it is easier and cheaper for me to put that new black cover than splurge on a new red cover. soooo, what's better?
Now this, is a shut up and take my money moment.

I've taken a lot from this forum so I'm using every chance I can get to try and give something back.
I don't know if this is a good deal or if it has already been posted, anyways... I found this on eBay:

It comes in several colors and only costs 1,66$, and shipping is free aswell, at least to my location (Germany, EU), just ordered 3 of them so I have different color options for my S3

I have one of these and I'm not a fan at all. Idk why the upper corner is open, but it's very annoying having one corner completely unprotected. Also, it doesn't hold very strong. The choice of silicon rather than tpu for the front part (the back is hard plastic) was not a good one, in my experience silicone is not as sticky or as tight fitting as tpu and causes your phone to pop out fairly easily. Overall, I would not recommend it.

The reason some cases have one corner open like that is because they were designed for the Korean market Galaxy S3, which has an extendable DMB antennae.
It's a liability for the rest of the world, but a necessity for the Korean market.
Mine arrived today. It's a weird little bumper though. I ordered the orange and black one as I thought it looked kinda cool but the colors are inverted. What's up with that?
Also, it's like they got the bumper from the picture, left if for 3 years in the sun and then sent it to me, colors are all faded.
Also, as someone said before, there's one corner unprotected; God knows why. (EDIT: And so does the user above me, didn't read his comment.)
I'll throw this away probably but thanks for the tip haha.
Not bad.. I might actually try it since my aluminum bumper block GPS signal

bastards... im still waiting for mine but guess itll be the same. I actually ordered this one cause the design (espec. colour) looked better than the other common bumpers on ebay. but judging from your post its probably the same one :/
One corner is unprotected because South Korean version of the S3 has an antenna for DMB.
DMB is basically a service that allows smaller devices to watch TV, almost every single portable devices has it in Korea.

Are the sides of the black model different than the white? My white sides aren't matte at all. I thought the differences were only the back texture and earpiece color (I like the white earpiece but not the slick back).

The black one is fully mat. Unlike the white one. The white one has a white earpiece AND the sides around the phone are glossy.
BTW here is a vid about a guy who's detaching the backcover (it's for another purpose but you'll get it)

Only if I want to wait 3 months for a black one. I'll just deal for now and hopefully trade with somebody at some point. Can probably do that in 3 months as well. (I made the number 3 up but you get my point.)
