Think this is a good buy? It's only $7.25, looks nice..

People have complained about the Incipio Aluminum cases messing with cell reception, this would likely do the same. Unless its just plastic that looks like aluminum.
Also, it seems to block the IR port.
It does look nice though :\

Hmm. I don't know. The description says:
"It is constructed of brushed aluminum metal and hard poly carbonate (PC) to ensure long lasting durability and protection."
So it seems it's made of BOTH?

Interesting.. so a bit of a cheap feel to it?
I love the look of the one I linked, but I won't get it if it will mess with reception.. thanks for the replies fellas!
Looks like it provides very little if any protection. Pass.
Its not too bad. It does not affect reception at all. I personally think it makes the phone a little big. The top sticks out a little making the power button harder to reach. It looks nice but I don't like it.

i just recieved this aluminum battery cover for my s3 and it looks amazing!
but..it did make my phone a tad bit thicker so my old case doesnt fit anymore
i dont mind that it made it a tad thicker it actually feels better now in the hands
is there any good cases out there that would fit for this? my idea was to buy the
aluminum battery cover then buy a bumper but now im worried that the bumper might
not fit right as well considering my phone is more thicker now
if anybody has any pictures of any cases/bumper that will fit on my phone pls post
some on this thread would gladly appreciate it
Most any full TPU case will probably fit.
Almost no slim/open style cases though. Like the Rock case style probably won't fit.
Where did you get that? I like that!

I love this case. I got it in turquoise mint and I love it. The case is a TPU silicone (sorta) case. It fits but its flimsy enough to easily take on and off. Sadly, what I didn't know is that when shined in the light, the phone case is a bit glittery. But hell, I don't care.
This case also comes in many colors. Plus when I got the package, there was a cheap cut out Thank You card. That means a lot, considering all the stuff I buy from amazon is in bubble wrap and just a....disgusting plastic wrap.

Only thing I don't like about those cases are the cutouts for buttons. When I get a tpu case I want to be as protected as possible. I'd go crazy looking at those holes for the antenna and sd card slot. Just extra places for dirt to get in.

The top one is the antenna and the one on the left is the sim card slot. That case made for the Korean model that our phone took design after. Just those 2 changes. Are the only difference.

Have had this case for a couple months now; best of the four TPU-type cases I've had yet. It stays on very well, doesn't lift up screen protectors (!), and protects enough such that I still have no damage after a couple drops (3-4 feet out of the pocket style). The glittery styling on the back is nice yet subtle too. Yes the cutouts are a bit odd on a US model, but all things considered it could be worse!
Most cases are made of some weird rubber, either they feel cheap or they get stuck in the jeanspocket.
Some cases look great but they always tend to build so much bulk..
Has anyone tried an alu bumper like this one? Looks great atleast..

It looks great yeah but 35 dollars is too much for just a case which is why I didn't buy the official one. If it was a battery case for that price or even a little more like 45-50 then it would be worth it for me

With battery cases like this. You will lose a bar or two on cell phone reception as well as wireless. This was the case for the Galaxy S4. I believe you will lose the function of NFC as well.

How protective are aluminum cases though? I feel like TPU/plastic combos would probably protect the best since it absorbs shock better than metal.

Why does that one bottom corner stick out like that? I'm guessing that's how the case clamps together. Seems like it wouldn't feel very nice.
Yeah not bad, but I'm not a fan of Florida sticking out of the corner there. Always making a mess of things!
Also with it being an Aluminum bumper, I'm pretty sure it's aesthetics only. That's a relatively soft metal, especially with how thin is looks. Any real bump and it will probably dent/scratch easily. It's like using a thicker version of the HTC One as a protective case.

I am holding off as well. Even with the screws, not sure if it'd fit in my Seidio holster without scuffing the crap out of it. However whenever I visit this thread and look online at the pics, it seems unbalanced to me because of the screws.
Waiting for feedback on the aluminum bumper. I'm interested to find out if the bumper keep the back of the phone off of surfaces. It looks like it wouldn't protect the back of the phone at all.
Thinking about ordering one. Anyone got information or experience with these?

I have one in red! It looks really nice and I love the look of the metal. The only issue I have is the silicone part isn't the most snug fit and sometimes an edge of the phone might come out of the case when I took it out of my pocket. I don't think the whole phone would come out or anything..I'm just picky.

Thank you for the pictures. Would you recommend it?
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
If you're looking for protection, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There really isn't much of a lip over the screen and the top corners seem to slip off a little too easily. It's not like the whole case would accidentally fall off though since the metal part helps to keep it somewhat rigid.
If you're looking for style, then go for it. It's definitely a unique case.
Heads up, if you actually buy it from Mindplar.com it's $45 with shipping and comes with an assumingly cheap battery bank. A little bit cheaper.

This case does indeed look night, I never spend this much on a case but I might have to, maybe I will wait for a few other reviews.
These are pretty sharp looking. I have only been using a sleeve, but might have to consider this. I think Eddie Van Halen would approve of the red one.

Nice case !
I seen 1 million cover for htc one but i never seen this one before ! thanks , probably i'll purchase this , seems really good
Just got mine in the mail. Came with a free 1000 mAh power bank.
Didn't realize that the IR port was covered, no big deal though. I can use a nail to put a hole in there.
Kind of disappointed that the "metal" part is glued on, and it doesn't wrap around the lip like other hybrid cases.
The case itself is very slim. If you have a glass screen protector it wouldn't wrap around it. Looks really great in hand though.

So looking at the pictures previously posted, is the rubber very...rubbery? lol like the ports seem very loosely cut (charging port) and the edges seem like very rounded. I am used to the UAG case and think the cuts and lines are so sharp that this case (while looking pretty rad) has some variances in quality
am i right?

Review?
I searched but most people had the hybrid case. I'm looking at the tpu one.
I'm mostly concerned with whether or not the case fits snuggly and not loose. I got mixed reviews on the Amazon page with some saying fits well, others saying loose.
Thx

Yeah it's pretty good. But mine was a tiny bit loose. I had a black one.

Not really, it was actually kind of a good loose. Like it wasn't like other TPU cases that try to squeeze the phone to death, I'd say it's a relaxed fit.
EDIT: Another tip, the logo on the back can be scratched off. Which was perfect because I didn't want any kind of branding.
It was the first case I bought for the ONE.... Fit great!!!
.... The only issue I had was that the thin trim that is above the volume rocker stretched out some and became annoying really fast
