Hey guys,
This is aimed more at those that maybe have this colour...
I just got this bad boy and wanted to know what cover/case etc that looks good on it? I have been looking about and most of all the good covers are designed for the black and silver phones.
Anyone come across a suitable one for the Glamour Red?
I would rock a transparent case or just go naked and show off that awesome unique RED phone. But that's just me...
Edit: How about the Poetic Atmosphere case?

Transparent TPU skin. Accept no alternative. Not "Frosted Clear" or Polycarbonate or silicone or any crud like that.

I have the red htc one, had the silver first but sold it and got this beauty, anyway the poetic cases do not look good on the red one. They look good on the silver, but because they are frosted and not crystal clear they make the red phone look really dull and cheap, not a good look.
At the moment im using the red rock case, which looks alright. Ive just ordered the sgp ultra clear case, should receive tomorrow, ill see how that looks.

Thanks for the pointers. Would be much appreciated if you would let me know what you think of the SGP when you get it!
Can I ask your opinions on this one?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/electronics/dp/B00CJAIEJ8
I'm a great believer in 'you only get what you pay for' but this one seems to tick all the boxes, according to the reviews? This plus, say, a ZAGG screen screen cover? Honest opinions. Or if you know of any quality clear cases that would look nice.
Thanks
Wouldn't the HTC official bookstyle wallet case look amazing with the red One? With its red felt lining , this official case kinda looks like the red HTC One's perfect companion.

Dude, your phone looks awesome. I´ve ordered a RED HTC One.Fell in love with it after seeing a video on YouTube.It´s a metallic RED that just shines depending on the angle of the light reflecting off it.The seller had the silver & black models which are $70 cheaper than the RED(yeah,that would normally be a deal breaker for most people considering the difference in price) and he didn´t have any stock either. But I insisted on that I wanted the RED and made him order it specifically for me. Can´t wait to receive mine,should arrive this coming Friday.
But I have NO intention on using ANY case or bumper on mine.It´s too gorgeous to do that,man.That just spoils the look and feel of the best made phone on the market. I will just ride it NAKED and keep it in a soft pouch.Also,I think that if you use a bumper on the HTC and keep putting & taking it out of your pocket, it will start to scratch or leave scuff marks around the edges with the slight movement of the aluminum bumper rubbing against the aluminum edges of the One.Aluminum rubbing on aluminum ain´t good,man.
Dude,just get yourself a Fitbag - Blue Alcantara w/ microfiber lining ,which will keep your baby all snug and safe in your pocket or when you place it on any surface(in the pouch of course). And with the microfiber lining,it won´t get fingerprints(yeah,that shiny red with fingerprints on it will suck). Then when you take it out,people´s jaws will drop at the sight of that beauty, Don´t spoil that with cases.Trust me dude, there isn´t a case on this planet that will make it look (or feel) better than just the One NAKED. Good luck on your decision.

Did a little search, didn't see a similar thread.
I love my Captivate, and have been looking into ways to make it better constantly; be it software or hardware. I recently picked up a decal skin off of ebay, and wanted to share.
I love the color red; a lot of the things I carry around are red. Captivate didn't come in red so I settled with black... until I bought a decal skin from Wireless Flavor on ebay.

So I think it'd be neat for everyone to post up their Captivate, a brief explanation of where they got their skin etc., and perhaps a mini review.
As for my purchase, I like it. I didn't want something much thicker as I liked the slim profile, but I wanted to protect against scratches as well. There's a slight bump on the back due to the Galaxy S logo, but I don't mind it. Are there any plain plastic backs that can be bought?

Looks like I need to visit iskinit.com and remake my bruce lee decal again.... (like what I had on my N1)
do the bottom soft keys still work as good as without the decal on it?

They're not as sensitive, so you need to apply a little more pressure when using them. I don't mind it, I found myself more annoyed before when I'd accidentally tap the wrong key.

Yeah, it's just a regular decal skin from ebay.
The screen isn't protected no... I'm not sure if I can actually fit a screen protector with the red skin. I try to be careful in general and have only noticed small scratches thus far, and only when tilted at the right angle in bright light. I might regret it later... but I figure by that time I'll just upgrade to a new phone.

Yeah plus if you notice when your applying them I don't like putting all much of the solution down that the screen protector starts to stretch and then I end up having to come back in with a razor to clean up the edges.

Although I like my phone as it is, I am desperate to get rid of the "Samsung" at the bottom (would like it unbranded). I have an Otterbox Defender case which covers the AT&T at the top but not the brand name at the bottom.
Can you tell me if these stickers would work fine? Since I use a case which covers most of the phone I was planning to get either the gradient blue or jet black and apply only the front decal.
Hi everyone
Just interested in finding out what case everyone is using or going to purchase.
I originally got the HTC HC 701 white flip but it gets dirty so quick so I am using the original pouch by HTC which I hate because I always feel nervous when taking my phone out or when anyone says " let me have a go on your phone" my heart starts racing. So I decided to order Noreve case in Ocean Blue but they take a month to deliver (What a joke) so I have ordered the Covert branded PU croc flip style case.

i bought the Melkco TPU black matte for 15 on ebay. i don't know how i like it yet, but it's probably good.
Im using the cheapo one that was recommended on here from eBay and hate it. But there is so little else available that it will have to do for now.
I'm using this one from Amazon, and love it:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-One-Ski...W92K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1335262824&sr=8-2
I also love the way the camera lens now doesn't touch whatever surface I put the phone on.

To be REALLY correct: The camera lens is behind the glass.
That glass though is only recessed about a mil under the ring.
So better to have it protected by a few more mils of rubber then to accidentally get a scratch that will become the focal feature of all your future photos!

I had one of them, it offers great protection back & front, but it didn't fit properly around the micro usb socket, due to excess plastic. No biggie, especially for the price
Now ordered a Rock TPU case and Shocksock neoprene pouch.
Yeah it is so annoying when a phone is realised you have to wait at least 2months before you can hold of a decent case that you are happy with.
But saying that with my DHD I got as soon as it came out the Piel Frama case was available straight away.

I have this and the official HTC One X Slip Pouch...
Initially I only had the pouch but found the phone a little slippery at times and droppped it in the office.
I bought a black TPU case off eBay before the release of the phone. It fits very well and adds only a little bulk to the phone. I prefer without a case but for safety sake I'm using it. For £3 or so its a great deal and was delivered quickly in the UK. Don't see the point in spending silly money when this is is as good as any I've tried previously for other phones.

Check Martin Fields screen protector. It has a small circular protector specifically for the glass that houses the camera. It is not cheap ranging at around 20-26 dollars but at least you dont have to fidget around coming up with a circular protector for the camera.
Try eBay, I think they sell them there...

Have you been looking around to find the most beautiful case for your s3? I have got you covered. I have found the perfect case for the Galaxy S3.
This is a review for the SGP Spigen Bumper Ultra Lumi series. I have ordered this case before three weeks and it arrived today. As you can see from the photos, the packaging for this case is pretty good.

Once you order this case, you get the following items: 1. Case 2. Front protector 3. Back protector 4. Cleaning cloth. Normally you have to pay at least 10 dollars to get a decent pair of front and back protectors, so its a positive thing that they are included for free.
Now, lets have a look at the case. First thing i have noticed is the slim factor of the case. It looks beautiful and most of all: it looks premium. Although, if you touch the case you get that plastic feel. I dont see this as a bad thing, because it gives you at the same time the feeling that this case will do its job: to protect your investment.
As you can see from the photos, the cut outs for the usb, headphone jack, mics are perfectly lined. The buttons, both volume and power, are made of plastic. This is a good thing because its far more easy to press them from other tpu cases out there.
Also, this case has edges on the front and back of it. If you lay your phone on the table, its still protected because of these edges. Same thing goes for the front of the phone. You are protected because of these edges, so if you drop your phone on a straight floor, you are protected as well.
Now lets move on the negative side of this case. The price is little high for some people but notice that this case is one of the most beautiful cases i have ever seen (and i have seen a lot). Moreover, when you are holding your phone with this case, it doesnt have that anti-slippery feeling, that other cases give you. I dont care very much about this because i know that this case will protect my phone in every days situations.
Finally, I highly recommend this case to every s3 user in this forum. However, i dont think that it will look as great in the pebble blue s3. I am sure that it looks fantastic on my white galaxy s3 with my aluminum brushed back cover.
If i could give a rate to this case, i would rate it: 4,5/5.
Here's the pros and cons:
Pros: 1. best looking case for my taste 2. very good protection 3. easily accessible buttons
Cons: 1. pricey more some people 2. not having that anti-slippery feeling.
I hope you liked this review. If you find it helpful, hit thanks.
You can buy this case on:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3-case-ultra-bumper-lumi-series.html
Have a nice day everybody.
10/11/2012 ***UPDATE*** I emailed SGP Spigen and asked them when this beautiful case will be back in stock, and this is the response i got:
"We are still unsure when we will be receiving new shipments of the Ultra Bumper from our manufacturers and they haven't given us an ETA yet.* As soon as they inform us, I will be sure to send you an email".
So anyone who wants this case, HOLD on

Quick question, the white portion of the case, is it hard plastic? Reason I ask is none of the colors look good to me and I'd like to apply a vinyl over it to change the color. Do you think a vinyl would even stick reliably to the white portion?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.

Hi guys some of you may have seen my other thread about the red leather skin that I reviewed on here from smartskins, if not you can find it here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281437
This thread is for a new skin that I purchased off them quite recently, the slate and gold brushed metal combo. First of all this skin looks GREAT on the HTC One with the top and bottom section gold and the middle as black (looks slate/grey in certain lighting but black head on).
The black middle part of the skin has a glitter effect in it which looks really nice and the fit is really good too. You can check out the pictures below;

This is a very nice skin, which seems pretty durable due to the thickness of it, and their customer service is great! The cutouts and all seem pretty bang on,its just that I dont have the patience to keep re-aligning it!
Its the second skin Ive had off them with no problems whatsoever so I highly recommend them, heres the link to this skin specifically:

Hi guys some of you may have seen my other thread about the red leather skin that I reviewed on here from smartskins, if not you can find it here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281437
This thread is for a new skin that I purchased off them quite recently, the slate and gold brushed metal combo. First of all this skin looks GREAT on the HTC One with the top and bottom section gold and the middle as black (looks slate/grey in certain lighting but black head on).
The black middle part of the skin has a glitter effect in it which looks really nice and the fit is really good too. You can check out the pictures below;

Did you order the two tone one? I think only the two colour ones come with a covering for the sides. And haha I'll update this post later with the files for it! I made it on widgetlocker btw.

widget locker, will get that app then
no it was just a single tone one, maybe i will get two-tone then. have you tried it with a case on?
what clock is that?
wow.. It really look nice with the skin on
My God those color combos are fantastic!! I've been frequently looking through their ebay listings but I guess they must have just uploaded more skins or something. Only thing stopping me is that it's in the UK and I ordered a red carbon fiber one. I'm also a loyal dbrand Customer and curious as the fitment

I believe the app is called One more clock free widget, if you search that it should come up on the playstore.

The fitment is pretty good overall if you have the time and patience haha, also you can take it off and reapply it a few times, it doesn't lose the adhesiveness. I live in the UK so it's all good for me

And yup I tried it with two different cases, the two front pieces do get raised slightly on the corners, but I guess you could avoid that by not putting those pieces on. You can push em down but the cases I have tried are really snug so makes it kinda hard! Oh well guess I'll use it without a case
Do you have an email address to smartskin for those who want to order outside of ebay

I've got the combo walnut wood and white wood ... those stickers got a nice quality! I use them with a combo of a alu bumper . it simply feels better than a plastic case
Hi riotman,
Can you please post more pics of your wood skin and bumper combo? Was thinking of having the same setup.
Thank you!

in what way?
Their quality and feel. At LEAST compared to dbrand. Which I, no doubt, believe that dbrand can't be beat with their quality and precision

I also used & bought dBrand skins, but these skins also look good to me and dBrand skin costs 2 X compared to this skin But I agree on your point about quality
Oh wow.
That is ugly.

Ordered the matte black skin from the same company, waiting for it to arrive (SHOULD be here tomorrow), gonna see how it is
I got a red carbon fiber with htc cutout from an ebay seller. Awesome look! Pain in the you know what to install but it is definitely eye catching. Not as great quality as dbrand but still awesome

Thanks to the OP for bringing this seller to our attention. I've ordered a bunch of different skins for the HTC One and the 15" Retina MacBook. Let's see how they turn out.
I just found a Nillkin Nexus 5 case on eBay. I really enjoyed my Nillkin Nexus 4 case. I'll be posting a review of it once it makes it to my doorstep from China. I'm purchasing it because of the unfortunately sharp edges on the spiegen ultra fit case I tried first. (Don't buy that spiegen case! You'll be sorry)
Edit: Alright, I finally got my case. It's great. Feels just like the case I loved so much on my N4. The edges aren't too sharp like the spiegen I had. The back texture is nice. It feels like rubber coated plastic. If you guys want any pictures or want me to try anything with it, just let me know.

My pics
Mine came like this with a screen protector too...
Lastly, here it is for $7.77 (lucky, eh?).
They also come in gold and red which I don't have pictures of here.
Thank you! I was waiting for Nillkin to make a case for the Nexus 5. I have it for my Nexus 4 and I simply love the build quality.
Have one for my LG, excellent case. Just ordered one for the Nexus 5 as well. Highly recommend this.
Looks cool, and the price is right. Bought a white one.
Is it a rubber or plastic material?
Wow that case looks really nice gonna order one pretty soon i think.

From what my Nexus 4 case is like (same manufacturer) it feels like soft rubber on the outside and a little harder on the inside. I think it's probably all rubber though. Maybe it's rubber coated plastic? I'd highly recommend it whatever it is based off of my previous experience. If this is like the other one, it holds the phone slightly off of the table if you have it screen down too.
^ I didn't have a problem with yellowing because I got black last time :laugh:
Loved their case on my Nexus 4. Will definitely get this
How well are the top and bottom protected? It's hard to tell from the pictures but it looks like if the phone was dropped on an end you'd have some damage?

You're probably right. If the phone were dropped on the back top or back bottom it would probably be okay, but it doesn't offer much protection for the front. It's mainly a scratch protector for those that don't drop their phone often.
Im going to order one today also. Was hoping Rock also had their cases out but doesnt matter. Can always buy one when they do!!
Was going to grab a white one for my white phone but I do think it will go yellow after time, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Logic says go white for white phone, but either way, the back is going to be covered by the case so what difference. Maybe ill go a gold case for a change?

I think it's brown (just don't want you to be disappointed). I mean, it's $9... if it yellows... just buy another? Of course it's all up to you

Will get one of these when they come out on Amazon.

Been using a Nillkin Case since I purchased my Nexus 4. It survived several drops since then. You can't go wrong with this one.

Maybe the company is following the Apple path, You are dropping it wrong.
Thanks flyingv and gravity. I just bought the black auto awake / flip case. It looks awesome.
