I bought the last one i could find for the HD Mini.
The only other ones i've seen, are the piano black gloss ones on Ebay.
edit: looks like a bunch are on ebay now!

Can you post a link to any of the ones you've seen on eBay? I don't see any at all right now... just searched for HTC Gratia.

Don't think I'd buy one of the above.. look, no antennae contacts!
The hd mini must use a different antennae design than the aria.
Here's one from a top rated seller on ebay.
It says it's for the Aria but there aren't any photos of the inside to show the antenae prongs so can't be sure.

Sorry, fail on my part.
I must have gotten this thread confused with another asking about replacing the back cover for a phone that someone recently purchased.
Im looking to replace the battery door on my aria as well. After using for little over a month it seems the oem back has become a little loose and is no longer as rigid as when first purchased. Ideally I'd like to find something carbon fiber with a high modulus of elasticity and shear modulus that is also light weight. I'm looking for functionality over aesthetics; I just want the thing to be stiff as a brick, literal, though the added benifit of a flashy weave would be nice as well. This seems like wishful thinking but if anyone knows of anything along these lines please let me know.

I'd like to find something transparent to show off that awesome ferrari yellow.
Possibility?
The guy at Icy Cell has made a mold of his Evo and
then made several colors of clear cases. My thought
is that if we could get 20-30 people who wanted a
clear back at ~$15 a pop plus shipping it might be worth
his while, know what I mean.
just google Icy Cell....
Hope I didn't break any rules in my post, haven't seen a group buy
on here before but thought this was a perfect opportunity
Of course we'd have to figure out how to make an antenna
This was posted in the General Aria section, but it doesn't specify if the cover includes the antenna or not. I have sent a question to the seller asking and will post back with results.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-cover-H...035756?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f704e1ec
I posted this in another thread. but it doesnt look like the antenna is included.
-----------------------------
Dear XXX,
ARIA Battery cover's are to include a built in Antenna and Volume Rocker.
The cover will not work without an antenna, and seems to be an issue with
many of these covers.
Does this cover include an antenna?

Dear dexmix,
not include.
thanks

Other than a few mentions of the Aria, I'm not sure what your point was with that link... the covers they are talking about are for the EVO.

Well, it does two things.
Firstly, it mentions the Aria a few times, which you already figured out. Secondly, it provides an easy-to-click link for others to see what they were talking about in the previous post about Icy Cell.
When I first read the icy cell post I was thinking "Gee, why didn't he just include the link? After all, this is the first tangible reference we've had to a clear back for the phone, or one of its siblings." It'd be pretty neat if we could convince the icy cell guy to make a clear back for it. I think it's a great idea!
Okay, I see... does anyone know if the EVO has its antenna in the back cover like the Aria does? I'm thinking we are pretty unlikely to see any aftermarket covers for the Aria since it will be too difficult for most companies to manufacture inexpensively.
HTC Aria back cover
i just received a battery cover for my aria from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Battery-cover-H...ccessories&hash=item45f704e1ec#ht_1676wt_1048
and I can confirm that this does not have the antenna, nor the volume rockers. It also has a few protruding pieces of plastic which prevent the cover from being flush with the phone
in other words, don't bother getting one of these
Hey everyone,
Recently, I lost the eartips (picture here) of the earphones that came bundled with the Galaxy Nexus. I've been looking for replacements from Amazon, but I'm not sure which ones are "compatible" or would fit the earphones. Has anyone bought replacement eartips?
EDIT : Would these or these be compatible?
Comply foam tips are awesome, I won't be putting on anything else in all my future ear buds, but I don't know which exact ones will fit the OEM Sammy headset.
I currently have the Klipsch S4 ear buds with Comply TX100's and it's an amazing combo.
I guess I can check if the TX100's will fit the Samsung headset, unless anybody here has the answer. Perhaps Comply will have the answer too.
http://www.complyfoam.com/
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=comply
+1 for Comply (and Klipsch)
I have the klipsch s4 headphones with comply foam tips, as well. I was skeptical of foam tips, but these are something else. The bass response with the included klipsch earbuds was very good. Throw in comply tips and you've got noise isolation and bass that's just out of this world.

i second the comply tips as well. used them for my shure e3cs and e4cs. if it fits then go get some of those.
Just wanted to chime in...I just got my Comply T-100 tips for my Klipsch s4a and they're AWESOME. Much better noise isolation than the rubber type tips and much more comfortable.
Buy a set from Amazon, try them on the GN ear buds and if they don't fit just return them?
What ever you do, don't buy a headset replacement from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130664454152&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160
I bought this and they look the same as the original, but the sound is horrible and very low compared to the originals.
I ordered some comply tx 100 early today, can't wait for them to arrive! I'll be using them with my klipsch s4a. I just can't get a good seal with the supplied tips for very long, espicially when I'm cycling to work I'm constantly adjusting them and its quite annoying. Can you guys say if these actually sit properly while on the move?

Simply a model name, each one is designed to fit certain types of ear bud. On the comply site there is this chart thing which shows you which model of tip you need for that particular brand of ear bud http://www.complyfoam.com

For your sake I hope they fit, I just looked and the 2 different sets of jay birds use 2 different type of buds from their site. Perhaps have a Google to see if anyone is using comply tips with the same model ear buds as you then you might know if you ordered the right ones

Did you receive them yet? If no, then to answer I think you'll really like them, I have no issues when I work out, the seal is fantastic, from what I've read people prefer these as well for active routines. Also they have 3 sizes so you'll have to see which one is best for you, I ordered the assorted pack at first, Medium was the choice for me, been using ever since.
the only thing, these wont last as long as the rubber tips, being that they are memory foam, but imho I'd change a pair every couple months, it's totally worht it. Enjoy them!!!
Just finished my review of this case and it is really impressive.
Here is the video review, it includes a fully underwater test
I'll do a full comparison with the Lifeproof S3 case as soon as that arrives.

Since always, if you get away with it though then enjoy
Btw this case is horrible dont waste your money back button takes forever to respond to your touch if it responds at all , the touch sensitivity sucks , the only way you can talk to people is on speaker phone ,
When you try to talk to someone on the phone they can hardly hear you , and when your listening to them best way to describe it is they sound like robots
When you watch tv or your phone rings the sound is so muffed and distorted it vibrates the phone
Just prove that I actually do have this case pictures attached lol

Honestly, I only used this for when I went to the beach, pool, etc. I could never use this as an everyday case. However, I love this case for its intended purpose. It keeps the sand out and water out. I use it to take pictures underwater while snorkeling and it works great.

I am already looking on swappa.com for a new one. I also called the renters policy to see if they cover it if it was Stolen we shall see what they say
When Seidio had their February giveaways I decided what the heck and posted on their blog. Lo and behold I won a free case. Now that I've had it for a couple weeks I figured I'd share my thoughts. Yes it's a beefy case, and it has protected against a few falls already. Some people say it's too "blocky", to each their own I guess. They (Seidio) say the audio is unaffected by the membrane, it definitely is, but is greatly improved with the bottom flap open. The screen protector is great. Nice and smooth, the dots that people complain about are quite visible at some angles, but never really bother me. The back button is tricky at times being in the corner where it is, but the menu button which is in the same "situation" seems fine. Touch sensitivity seems fine, rarely do I notice skipping swipes or missed taps. Dragging down from the top is fine from either side of the speaker cover. Speaking of that speaker, I haven't really noticed much difference on calls, maybe a little muffled but not much. No echo a few people mention and I seem to sound fine at the other end. All in all I like the case, it's not perfect, but a good compromise for the protection.
I just bought and started using this case and so far I really like it. Yes, sound is a little muffled but far from unusable, and the screen protector is great. I read lots of reviews and many said the screen was unresponsive and the menu and back buttons were hard to use...I say bull honkers to that. I'm not sure what those people are doing but the screen works without any issues and its actually better than the lifeproof case I had been using.
It's not any more bulky than a defender or the puregear case I had before, it doesn't feel overly large or bulky and it actually looks pretty good IMO.
It's not for everybody but if you want great protection don't be scared off by the negative reviews. I'll post up pictures of mine when I get the time and ill post back after I've used it a little while but initial impressions are really good.
Here's a somewhat long term use update, after a few weeks of use now I still really like this case. It is definitely "installation sensitive", I've opened the case a couple times now and if I follow the exact procedure and take my time things sound fine, but a couple times I've rushed the installation and the phone sounded terrible afterwards. It seems to be dependent on how the phone's microphone lines up with the openings in the case, apparently if you don't position the phone just-right the microphone will be covered and make you sound like Charlie Brown's teacher - wah wah wah...
When it's installed right things are great, and 3 days now it's saved my phone. I got caught in a down pour on my way home from work one day on the motorcycle, the phone would have been ruined without this case. Seidio has a 20% discount code somebody posted in another thread so now would be a good time if you want one.

i have a nilkin case that was highly suggested here, so i got one from ebay for 10. case is exactly what i wanted, but after a few weeks i started to notice my white case turn a bit rusty-browny/ish. my otterbox iphone 4s case was white, and also picked up ink from jeans or something after so long. if i knew all of this i would have never gotten another white case... i figured the otterbox just picked up crap, and was willing to try somethin else light.

Whats wrong if he shared his experience. Isn't it one of the reasons to converge on the forums. His purchase was based at-least partly on research and recommendations here. It didn't pan out for him and he posted. You need to loosen up a bit
Yep.. white discolors, lesson of life lol.
the UAG might not discolor cause it has clearcoat on it (I think, right?)
As for rubber/silicone/TPU white cases, try a magic eraser.

It doesnt violate any rules as far as I can tell, however your responses to him are borderline harassment
I too find it odd he did not realize white tends to get dirty. But now he knows, and maybe others out there didn't know but will see this thread now.
No big deal.

Its not a question of like/dislike or buyers remorse. If there is an issue with the product and/or its advertized features, then yes, I will gripe, be it a civic or a beemer or the might pencil. Of late , a lot of sellers who stand behind the quality of their products have some sort of active/passive monitoring on social boards (check Amazon/Newegg) for feedback on their products and sometimes that is the quickest way to a resolution.
ok i need to get over my wasted 10 dollars. you need to get over me complaining about it...if i was looking for a new car and read a lot of positive (biased) reviews about that car, i would want someone to share their good [AND] bad experiences of the car..lets say the car has no cup holders, and 99 percent of the posters failed to mention that..what if i drove long distances and needed cup holders? and you were the only one that mentioned it had no cup holders. --NOPE dont do that. you're whining and crying about it. (dumb example i know lol)
its 10 dollars, just like you said. not a huge deal, although a lot of cases are more 20-50 dollars. im not making a huge deal about it. i was just trying to warn other people. what if someone is hung up between two cases, and they cant decide which one. and maybe my thread helped them pick what color they would like a little more easier because they're not reading the same post over and over ("oh this case is good")
Just wanted to let you guys know, the back of your phone will get scratched if you accidentally drop it without a case on it. HTC didn't list this in their product description, So I am letting you know.
I've got an OEM Samsung white case on my Note 2 and it's it's fared very well. I've had it for months and it hasn't discoloured or gotten dirty. It all depends on the material that the case is made out of.
I'm looking for a case for the One that I have now and I've used a Nillkin case before and it was black and it was great.
I guess it also depends on how dirty your hands and pockets are too.
Wow. Y'all need to get your panties out of a wad and get off the OP's back. It was just a post letting ppl know his experience with the case. Go find your next victim. Geez. -_-

Well I have the nillkin white flip case for over a month now and it is fine. Granted it being white it does get dirty real fast so it needs cleaning constantly, I have been doing this and its been fine for me so far.

I'd tend to lean with the "what's the point" crowd on this one-- no offense, OP, but this is kind of par for the course with...well, anything white! Which really does suck, because I know a lot of people prefer that aesthetic-- personally, dark and understated colors have always done me better.
That said, I'd also echo the sentiment that it varies from case to case. $10 cases are just about always going to be a hit-or-miss-- for that kind of cost, it's unlikely that the manufacturer invested in quality materials, especially if plastics are involved. Those will discolor on contact with just about anything "unusual" in the environment. I don't think TPU cases discolor much though, so if you want a cheap white option you could look into one of those.
Of course, the worst case scenario with these is if discoloration happens outside of the return period.
Yeah, I tend to avoid white matte plastic cases. The polished ones don't stain quite as easily, but scuffs are very apparent.

Uh, umad bro? If you want to go hang your heads in collective misery, a PM would probably be a lot more efficacious.
Seriously.. how do people not know white gets dirty easily?
Heres a few more tips:
Matte/rough surfaces tend to get dirty easily and stain.
Glossy/smooth surfaces tend to be easy to clean off, the gloss is a clear coat that protects the paint under it. Stains usually just wipe off.
Light colors tend to get stained because they are light, so any dirt/dyes will show up very clearly.
Your jeans were made with a lot of dye, it is highly likely that your case will get stained by that too, especially if your jeans get a bit wet (due to the rain for example).
Just picked up my new M8 yesterday. After using it for a day I have noticed a crackling nosie coming from the top speaker, almost as if its blown. Is anyone else having this problem or am I just unlucky?

Don't have a speaker problem but just noticed a defect on the top speaker right below the camera. The covering is coming off slightly and isn't level with the screen. You can tell the glue isn't very strong it pushes back in and then come s right back when you remove your finger. Gonna try to get it replaced from T-Mobile. You have 14days to get a replacement I highly recommend doing it if you're not satisfied.

Same issue here, pretty annoying. Going to take it back later today, but not sure if I'll be able to get an exchange - as others have mentioned, most stores are sold out. Pretty lame of HTC, now I'll have $636 burning a hole in my pocket for the next week or so - 636 that could go towards an S5 or something. :/

I have about a dozen stores in my area, all are sold out. One guy told me they only got like 5 of them in, wtf.
My store finally got some in! Walked in, put it on the desk, the lady said "Speaker Problem?" ran to the back, got me a new one and I was out in 10 min. New device works great!

Would you describe the defect as a constant metallic grating sound in the background of songs and whatnot?

Yeah I'm on my 3rd one and it finally seems to be OK. The hard part is finding a store that has them in stock or admits they have them when you tell them you want to do an exchange. :/
Anyways, one the sales guys told me they've had a lot of S5's coming back too, due to various misc issues.

Ummm... i would put it very close to the noise my car speaker made when it was recently blown... Again only coming out of the top speaker when it was turned up. It just sounded like a rattle... The one thing that I really noticed it on was MKBHD's review on the Dot Cover Case. 10 seconds into him talking it had already sounded crappy. Thats the video I used to reference my new one.

Yup, basically sounds like my problem. Looks like I'm going in tomorrow for an exchange. Thanks!
Speaker volume, troubleshooting steps?
I compared the speaker volume and quality of my HTC one M8 speakers with my Samsung note 2 and found out the volume level of both the devices was more or less the same, but the HTC offered a little more bass.
The sound is very less at 50% volume level and drastically increases after 80%-100%
I am not sure if the speakers of my device are up to the mark. How do you guys troubleshoot the speakers sound? Any specific method or just relying on ears?

Ive just been going off of my ears... Again depending on what I was listening to it was sometimes hard to hear. But I used MKBHD's review of the Dot Cover case to go off of. I could tell in the first 10 seconds.
1 year warranty
Just wanna remind you guys that tmobile has a 1 year guarantee on any phone you purchase from them, so even if you're past your 14 days you can still call customer service and get them to send you a replacement. The only thing the 1 year warranty doesn't cover is physical damage like a broken screen/body or water damage. I've had tmo for over 10 years and have gotten a bunch of replacements on phones that developed issues.
I am having this crackling, popping, static annoying, irritating, hurting noise during call... actually mine is at&t.. I bought two of them and they had the same issue.. Also lot other issues highlighted in various forums (like bluetooth, battery life, etc)
