I got a body glove case from TMO for $25 and it was worth it.
There are two rubberized parts for grip. Its not bulky and it has the perfect kick stand.
Now some will complain that it doesn't cover the top or bottom but this allows it to fit in the leather case logic holster for icrap 3gs (walmart $14)
I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

Strange as the website doesn't have it.
Nice. I'll stick with my body glove grip case and chrome to edge. Good find though. Enjoy.

crazy thing i got that same exact case yesterday too. costs $25 bucks, cute saleswoman.... actually went there looking only for a car mount.
the kick stand is nice and works well, it snaps in place, so it doesnt mistakenly fold easily.
my big problem with it, before i got it, my back cover was like new (i think), but i see a few scratches on it now. i dont know if i did something else, or if i did not snap it on well. I also feel its gonna break whenever i take it off. apart from that its quite nice.
also the car mount i got (its a universal, but i think it might have been made for the mytouch slide). it works perfectly. has a little ball joint on it, so you can watch in portrait or landscape or midway inbetween at any angle. also has a little arm to swivel up or down. the perfect mount. costs $30
I picked up the same case today and seem very happy with it so far. Does not add much bulk and the kickstand seems to work well.
Putting on the case was a bit tricky and taking it off almost seems impossible...any recommendations?
Just pull it off from one side, no trick to it. I did have to replace mine yesterday cause the kickstand stopped locking. SMH

I checked it out when I got my phone... but as you said, it doesn't cover the top and bottom. The kickstand is nice... yes, but other than that, I don't see what this case really has to offer.
I went to 3 different T-Mobile stores and none of them have it. My only concern is since it doesn't cover the bottom, won't it get scratched from whatever surface you put it on top?
This case is awesome.

I got the all black one from Amazon for 21.95. And sir you saved my phones life! I was at the county fair today and I was riding a ride called the zipper (Google it!) So like in the middle of the ride my phone slips out and its banging everywhere. Thank God they have like no gaps for it to fall off. So anyways as I'm seeing my phone bounce every where I'm thinking awww duck! And like 2 minutes later( felt like 2 years) I see my phone in 1 piece with the case scratched up from the plastic. And my screen is alive! I almost died that day.

I am not planning to get a case for my HTC One. Screen protector only. This is what I did with all my previous Android phones - Atrix, RAZR, and One XL ... however those phones were not made of aluminum. This is day 2, and my phone still looks OK. Question: has anyone else gone commando, and do you have any scratches? Is it wiser to get some kind of case?
With my old iPhone 4, I simply put a screen protector on the front and rear of the device. Is there such a thing for the HTC One?
haven't had a case for a week since i've gotten it. Still looks mint.
No case here..that's why I pay for insurance and not bothering with a screen protector...always hated those and ruins the clarity

I'm using it commando, but I'm wondering whether to get a case...
Yeah, I dropped mine twice and no major issues besides some small nicks that are making me OCD so I'm probably going to get the Poetic Atmosphere case after they release the updated version with the home button cut out. Meanwhile, I've ordered this sexy Skinomi carbon fiber skin.
Honestly, if you're going to go commando, you might as well not put a screen protector on. That's the strongest part of the phone anyway. (thank you gorrila glass)

Commando all the way... Otherwise it'll feel like any other phone out there

Went full commando with by GS2 and am mostly decided on doing the same with my One. I'm considering a leather wallet-type or flip case, but no screen protectors for me...just doesn't feel the same.
I've gone naked for over 3 weeks now, can't bring myself to put a case on this beauty. Starting to get paranoid now though, and OCD with the tiniest dent at the top of the phone. I ordered this pouch last week.http://www.etsy.com/uk/transaction/128631973
I haven't run cases or screen protectors on my phones in years, certainly not going to put one on this beautiful phone!
That being said, I might get a pouch for it for certain times when I have to relinquish possession of said phone for 'security' reasons. I dislike it when I can't keep hold onto it.
Personally I like to use a pouch. When I am using the phone it is commando. But when it goes in my pocket it is wrapped up safe, or when I put it on the desk I can put the pouch underneath. Best of both worlds in my opinion.

Well since you're a fellow Cincinnatian, have her make me one too. :laugh:
I'm leaning towards the opposite.. I haven't gotten a case yet usually I use one.
I've kept a real tight grip so far, but I know it's gonna drop soon.
I probably won't go with a defender case just maybe a nice sleek clear case or a commuter to retain some of the physical beauty.
I can't see not using a case it's a slippery phone and the glass is not worth breaking.

I went commando for one night...and got a nick in the chamferred edge =[
It was in my pocket, and a girl was grinding on me while I was sitting down. Nothing sharp in my pocket, soft couch, no idea how it got nicked but it did.
Sad part is I had a thin clear TPU case but took it out to show people...grr

Just my take on it. Aluminum is not a hard metal, and it will at least dent and scratch. I would go with at least a thin TPU case. I'm using an Otterbox Defender on mine right now, but I may go with basic TPU soon.
I have never had a case for any phone and I certainly can understand why people think this is too beautiful to cover up. But for me it is too beautiful to leave it without a case and me mess it up. That's why I got the diztronic clear tpu case, happy enough with it.

(First of all, I'd like to say I'm not sure if I've posted this in the right section - I know how people here feel about that. So I'd like to apologise first.)
As the title says, I'm just wondering if there are people out there who don't use a case at all on their phone. Also, if you don't, why don't you. To those that don't use a cover, how has your phone fared in the time since you got it?
I've been using a case on mine since the day I got it. Today I took it off and forgot how nice the phone feels without a case. I'm feeling like I'd like to not use a case for a while to see how the phone fares in day-to-day life.
So, yeah, any comments are welcome, and thanks in advance!

I haven't put a single case on any smartphone i've owned until I got my S3. And I can't remember the last time I've dropped my smartphone on the ground (KNOCK ON WOOD) so that's how careful I am with my phones but I fully respect and appreciate the concept of accidents.
Searching on Youtube for "S3 drop tests" should tell you why. Every single video i've seen has demonstrated how much damage the S3 fares when dropped on the ground. That was enough to convince me to slap a case on it.
I did a weekend with no case recently cause I liked the feel of a naked phone. Then at a family party someone runs into me as I was standing there texting a friend and I drop and scratch the side of my phone. Nothing Broke but the scratch
Made me sad.

I've never dropped any phone I've had before either. That's why I figured I'd give not wearing a case a go.
I actually used a case on every phone I had. Looking back, it was kinda a waste because I never dropped the things.
The gs3 unfortunately feels like it could snap at a fall of a couple centimetres though.

It replaces back cover with a rubberized back cover. I got the black one, feels great in hand. The bumper i did not like, its very sleek. So i just use the cover alone, no bumper ?
Ship took aprox 12 business days.

I don't shell out a few hundred and not protect my phone. Reason I always put a case is for resale value. Sold my S3 pretty fast since it was in perfect condition.

I used to be very protective and used an xtremeguard on the front screen and the back cover, along with a belkin tpu case. But I ended up taking all of it off because my OCD always kicked in when I saw dust caught on the edges of the case, and when the sides my xtremeguard lifted up slightly due to the case. The only protection I have now is that I cut out a small piece of my xtremeguard and carefully applied it to the camera lens so that it doesn't get scratched when I place the phone on the table.
I have been running my S3 this way for almost a month now, and it is still flawless. And I am very careful with my electronics so I expect it to be in pristine condition until it's time for an upgrade.
I just stopped using a case on my phone about a week ago. When its not in a case like super protective of it tho

The only thing I have on the phone is the clear shield protection. It is very thin and feels as if you are naked.
I have tried using the Rock case but couldn't go pass more than an hr. I have dropped the phone a couple of times and actually kicked it once trying to catch it in the air. Very minor scratch in the corner.

For hands like mine, SIII is just too thin to hold without case
If I remember correctly, only one of my phones ever had a screen cover (HTC Compact IV). Apart from that one, every phone has been how the designer(s) intended the phone to be.
I keep my phone in a PDA belt pouch and occassionally in an empty pocket in my trousers.
I treat the £500 phone with the care of a £500 piece of equipment I cannot afford to replace if damaged.
Got this in the other day so I decided to do a review . Really nice case.

Love the bumper, just as good as their nexus 4 one.
One thing I have done to loosen the buttons is just take the phone out of the case, and squish the buttons repeatedly to soften them up a bit.

First off. Didn't know OP was on XDA. Been subscribed haha. Also, here is a little review on my side. I ordered this case the 8th of November and was told it got lost and got a full refund. Worst thing was I got the phone that day and Ended up going to a T-Mobile and buying a generic plastic case. Nothing special. Literally just a flimsy plastic shell. It put me $15 more than my poetic and I was upset but I needed a case ASAP. I cracked my galaxy nexus. And took care of my nexus 4 as if it was my baby's baby. A week later. This case arrived. Ended up getting it for free. Put it on and was disappointed. The pros were that it's stylish (mine is red with the white nexus 5. It looks like pokeball), it feels good, and it's light. The cons are the raised from and back edges. The lip on this case is almost to nothing. Literally maybe half a centimeter on the front and on the back. Luckily I have the lens protector skin from dBrand so it's not that big of a deal. If poetic were to revise this case as they usually do with their other cases and fixes all the hiccups they made. I would definitely buy again or ask for exchange.

It seems its common to get free cases on amazon, I got two free spigen slim armors, they arrived after I cancelled my order and got my money back. And downtown your signature is huge, every thread I look at you post in and it takes up a lot of space on my screen. Forum rules are to keep your signature at a reasonable size, which I feel yours is not.
Camera protruding beyond the back is a huge flaw. What good is your notification light if you're forced to lay your phone face down? Amazon reviews reflect this.

I just got the Double Dip a few days ago and I love it. It's solid, but super thin, which is nice. Cases like the OtterBox make your phone huge and heavy, but his adds a minimal amount of weight and size which is nice.
The fact that it just snaps together makes cleaning really easy. You just have to unsnap, pull, and then clean. Removing the device if you want to is also really easy. You can just pull off one of the ends and then pull the device out.
It would be nice to see the Double Dip come bundled with a screen protector, but that's not too big of a deal.
The pattern on the case for the speaker holes is three rows, while device has four rows, so they don't match up perfectly. I haven't noticed any reduction in sound quality because of this though.
HTC also just released the ability to do customized Double Dip cases and I assume that you could buy some of those and snap them in with the other Double Dip cases as well (though that would require buying more than one case).
Best case I''ve ever owned for a phone. It's as minimal as it gets but still offers a great degree of protection. It's quite the looker too, a real head turner wherever I go. I love the soft touch/matte finish (think Nexus 5), makes it much easier to handle compared to the metal finish of the phone itself. One word of advice make sure your phone is free of dust and grime when you first install the case b/c it's a very tight fit and you may end up scratching the phone. other than that you won't be disappointed

I got this case in full black for my black HTC One and the matte layer on both ends came off after a couple of days, really disappointing.. Still looks pretty good but for the price I expected better. Curiously on the middle piece it doesn't show any damage even after a few weeks.
very good case , using it from a month withot any complaints
Best way to take this case off? feel like I'm going to damage. Is there a pressure point someplace that will help pop off the bottom or top parts?
