Does anyone have any experience with this case? It looks nice.

hhmm looks interesting
Yeah it does... I think I am about to buy one...
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.

I've have had it in my pocket for a few hours and no dust so far.
Ok thanks ordering now can't afford to have my screen crack again even order zagg skin so I wouldn't scratch the back of the phone.

How hard is the case to take off? I was planning on charging batteries via external charger.

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.

It hasn't affected it for me in about 2 weeks of use.

Hello,
ordered my S3 couple days ago. It haven't arrived yet, but...
I was using my HTC Desire S for two years. It dropped once from pocket height (due to loose pouch) and nothing happened.
I love the feeling of naked phone. No screen protector nor cases.
However, after browsing these forums, i have feeling, that s3 is the most fragile phone ever.
Do i need case ? I don't throw my phone at regular basis or drop them on floor. But do not want to loose my 500 € investment due to one unlucky moment.
I don't affraid of tiny scratches on my display or back cover. I just don't want my screen shattered.
What do you recommend ?
Its always nice just to have a case on your phone regardless. Like you said you just spent 500 bucks on it might as well spend a bit more to keep it safe.

What do you recommend ? There are literally tons of cases available.
Some kind of thin plastic, thin tpu, or some hardcore case like UAG or OTTERBOX ?
I will always recommend the uag its a nice well built case I also love the trident aegis its a cool protective case . I had the otter box commuter but the rubber got all stretched and crappy.

I'm very happy with Otterbox Defender which contains a screen protector and a belt holder.
I really like the look of UAG cases.
Probably will order one tonight.
Unfortunatelly i cannot decide between Black (Scout) or White (Navigator). I ordered black galaxy s3.
What color do you have ? Does it catch fingerprints or "oils" from hand ?
No its a matte finish so you can't see fingerprints on it. It also doesn't scuff easy either. As for color that really up to your preference I would go with black because it won't stain but then again its all up to what you want.

Just bought one, the blue/grey "Aero" color and also the Rust color for the wife. These cases look outstanding after an hour of comparing.
It would be great for an owner to chime in

Better safe than sorry. Tgis phone is very slippery. I personally have to have a case for grip at all times. I have the zoogue at the moment and im loving it. Not much drop protection but it would protect some impact over no case at all. I have black uag and a white aswell. They are kinda slippery too but not as much. Stay away of the defender case, it will stretch and its ugly imo.

The otterbox reflex is another great option. It gives good protection and great grip.

Otterbox announced cases for the One.
And here are they:
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-cases/htc-one-cases,default,sc.html
Definitely getting one for my One when i get mine. I hope they release more colors before the launch though.
Have had good experiences from Otterbox cases since my HTC Touch HD and HD2, still going strong, and saved my immortal HD2 many times.
Haven't tried other companies yet since Otterbox hasn't failed to protect any of my devices.
Good find. :good:
I think the One is going to benefit from some protection with its slick metal body. :victory:
Sweet! If I wind up getting the HTC One, which is very likely, I will most definitely purchase a Defender case for it.
Hopefully Otterbox has fixed the problems that the Galaxy S III Defender case had for the One.

I'll probably get the commuter case for mine. I had the defender on the HTC Evo LTE and the build quality of the belt clip was terrible. The clip that held the phone in the holster kept breaking off, I had it replaced twice and each of the replacements broke. It also happened to 3 other people that I know. I wish they would be like Seido and put a hinge in the clip. I might just get a TPU case for daily use, and an otter box for situations that call for it.

I've not used a case for my phone in the past 6 months, I just make sure my pockets are clear of shrapnel so nothing gets scratched.
Although with the HTC One it does look very scratchable. Think I may have to find a minimalist one closer to the time.
good news, we want more styles
Nice. Maybe i buy the HTC ONE
Just ordered white model of One and probably going with otterbox commuter. Defender would be nice too but its too bulky for day to day use.

I'm curious to know if these and other cases will keep in mind that the infrared blaster is located in the power key?
Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2
it is a cut out on this and all others i've seen
I'm thinking of either the CruzerLite, the double dip case, or the Defender from Otterbox.
Then there's the chance a company like Trident will make a case. I usually like their cases.
I like the Commuter case in glacier. That one looks very nice.

Looks like on the Commuter case, the power button is not covered; just a blank hole so no need to worry.
I really do like the Commuter glacier case, but I find I never drop my phone until I put a case on it.. I guess I tend to let my guard down when I falsely believe my case will protect my phone.. That is after all how I got my One X+, dropped my Inspire and watched as the screen shattered on cement. Thankfully though my otterbox case survived the ordeal perfectly fine while also protecting the back of the device...
I just got an email saying they are available now.. Haven't got my phone yet..

Here is a video of the green Otterbox Commuter Series
Wow, this case is much better than I was expecting.
...And very very big, isn't it ? Know that It's important to protect this jewell, but...we paid a lot to finally hide it...
Guys which do you prefer? Defender or commuter case for the HTC One?
I like how the defender case cover's the front portion of the device but I am having doubts about how it is made for HTC One because of the 2 big speakers(top & bottom), front camera & the sensors.
Looking good, I'll be taking the Commuter one (only because he's the lightest one ). I have this case on my SGSII and he is good.
Looking to purchase one and wondering whats the best one to buy and has any1 got any experiances with one and where did you get it from im in the uk so would prefer uk only but would consider that can post to uk.

I have used one (not on my personal phone but a friend of mine has one) It does the job well and it looks cool (white note with a black bumper)
My only concern is that metal does not absorb and dissipate shock all that well, so it may transfer the shock of a fall to the phone? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for the info, was not really thinking along the lines of dropping my phone by accident your right about the bumper not absorbing an impact. I currently have a capdase case (the one with the metal back and rubber insert) and I have dropped my phone countless times. Has any1 got amy suggestions of a premium case that looks great and protects your phone.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I don't think you can get more premium looking than capdase. Remember it's all down to personal preference, I may think the otterbox commuter case looks good but to another it may look like a brick.
Here are some of the ones I like:

The king of protection, I can personally vouch for:

My note fell down a flight of metal stairs in that case, not a problem with it, or the case.

Does metal bumper effect phone signal ? my friend used one and he said it has a little bit decrease phone signal. Does he panic ?

Hey guys this is just getting some feedback on how easy it is to scratch the HTC one and whether you have it in a case or not.
I personally have kept it in a case since I got it but I feel that I am hiding the beauty of the phone. I wanna keep it out of the case but I'm scared that I will end up scratching it

I just received this case today. It's super thin and clear so it barely looks like I even have a case on it. It's definitely not a rugged case. Good for scratch protection but definitely not going to protect much against drops. Not a bad choice for $3.99.
Nope. This phone is too gorgeous to keep it in a case.
Got me one of these at the XDA DevCon: http://www.cruzerlite.com/community/xda-developers/htc-one-xda-molded
I use this case:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/htc-one/htc-one-case-ultra-thin-air.html
It's really thin and they have a clear and a matte version. I have the matte version but can still see the beauty of the One perfectly.
It comes with a really awesome screen protector too. Can't even tell it's on there.
20 bucks, free shipping, and I ordered mine on Thursday and had it Saturday.
HTC double dip flip case on mine. It even fits in my leather pouch for added protection although not needed.

thinking of getting a leather wallet case for the phone/ wallet. Not going to keep it in any sort of case during use.
got a platinum case with a kickstand
Have a white and gray otterbox on mine, I use that while I'm at work but when I'm at home I take it out of there, hate having the case on the phone. Also dont use Screen protectors either, got one when I bought this from Best Buy in a combo pack with the otterbox, the sales rep put it on for me but all I can see is imperfections in the screen no matter how good they do it, so it came off and I'll stick to never using one
Using a Poetic case, just until I get used to the dimensions. Then it's coming off.
Are any of these cases a TPU material, or all hard shell.?
