Hi.
I was wondering if anyone have tried the official HTC double dip case(hard shell) with a full body protector for the m7 like this one
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BI3NL0E?pc_redir=1406928374&robot_redir=1
Since the double dip case scratches the phone. I was wondering if the full body protector prevent scratches and does the protector fit in the case or does it pill off.
Thanks
I am using double dip case.. flip one though.. for the past 14 months and i havent had single scratch on my phone cause of case
I think it completely depends on individual usage

It wont fit, don't even try to put the double dip on if you have the full body protector on
You'll have a bad time trying to fix it
I just dont get it, why people want to use double dip case to avoid phone damage, and then to use some phone wrap to avoid damage being caused by double dip flip.
In my ears it sounds like: "I need to protect my phone from being damaged by phone protector" - absolutely nonsense.
Why are you doing this ? For resale value ? Your phone is already 1 year old (from release date), it will be worthless in another year. The battery in it will be damaged much more by using than actual case of the phone.
You have two options:
1, Forget about protection, buy cheapo pouch from ebay. When I use the phone, it shows all its glory, and I can "feel and see what I have paid for", and while i am not using, i put it in pouch and can toss it in my bag without worying, that it will be damagedl
2, If you tend to protect it at all costs, buy another case. I have Incipio Frequency, which was tough and soft enough not to damage your phone at the same time. Unfortunatelly, the case became a bit loose at volume rocker causing squeaking sounds. Then I just realized, what I am just trying to explain to you. Or, take UAG case - it is soft inside, and hard on the outside.
Same answer for official car holder, it's already almost snug fit. Putting wrap on the phone could cause unability to put phone in official car dock.
I had a double dip case, awful thing!
I found it really difficult to get it fitting correctly, with the volume buttons working. After I finally had it all working, I removed it after a couple of months to find the speaker grills blocked by fluff, and small scratches around the grills from where the dirt had been rubbing.
Avoid!
The only reason I'm interested in the case is because of its look. I can't find other cases with similar design.
If you go for look, check out UAG cases.
My absolute winner, although I don't know such case personally.
If I had to buy just one, it would definitely be uag.
I use this case all the time. Simply remove case daily, blow out dust. I also placed two pieces of electrical tape on the interior of the body portion of case where I noticed excess wear on phone. It works fine and also provides a snugger fit.

so I just bought the Otterbox Defender for my Atrix 4G, and for some reason, on the top left corner, if I squeeze it, I feel a little give, of maybe like half a millimeter, but IDK if that means its defective or what? Also, whats a good way to clean a screen cloth to get the dust off? I love this thing, and my screen is very clean but there is like one or two small specks of dust I cannot stand looking at.
It will eventually get stretched out more and more as you use it. That's one of the biggest flaws of the Otterbox Defender.
My wife has had it for about a month and she's completely given up on it, as it's almost impossible (for her) to use the fingerprint scanner, and because of how she used to tug on the silicon protecting the charging port, the bottom is all stretched out too. YMMV.
Hope this helps...

whats a better case then? Should I just return this and get the candyshell? I'm actually thinking of just taking the otterbox screen protector off and putting a new one on, I cannot stand to even see a speck of dust under it.

@ OP :
Military Grade protection - cheaper than the Otter Defender...
http://www.goballisticcase.com/collections/motorola-atrix
Case demonstration - http://www.youtube.com/user/BallisticOfficialYT#p/u/24/xf0PD8p-pZI
And it doesnt look half bad...
That or the Seido Active Case (which I use currently, in Sapphire Blue)
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csk3mtatr-bl.htm
@ _Alex_ : The second link I posted for the Seidio Active case would suit your wife very well. That case does not hinder the fingerprint scanner at all, and its still offers a reasonably good amount of protection. Its also available with a holster. (I do not have the holster so I can't comment on it) I do love the case though. I've dropped my Atrix twice from about 4ft up (im a big guy, 6'4" tall) onto concrete, once landing on its side, the second face down. No damage to my Atrix at all, barely scratched the silicone skin of the case (its a two piece case, silicone case with a skeletal snap-on piece for extra strength and corner protection).
Honestly I have the defender and love it I use the clip everyday and it has a bit of play like yours but I haven't had any streaching and I've had it for a little over a month. I sometimes gwt trouble with the fingerprint reader but if you dont use it than that dosnt matter but I am defanitly trying out that upcoming ballistics case

I have the defender too. I have the same little problem in the top left corner too! The rubber part hasn't stretched for me, however.
I use the fingerprint scanner, but I don't notice any problems at all when using it.
does anyone know if its easy to cut out their screen protector? Its just that when I use it, I feel like I'm using the Blackberry Storm, like I slightly push more than normal, and it takes away accuracy when typing. Should I keep the Defender or just get the candyshell Speck and a separate screen protector?
I'm on my second silicone part. I emailed them about the port cover corner getting stretched out and they sent me a new one. The new one looks just like the old one already. Took maybe two weeks for it to start popping out again.

The protector is just held in place with double stick tape. Just take the case off and push it out from the outside.

I called them about my silicone case stretching and they sent me a new one as well.. still haven't put the new one on yet. Wife called about the "watermark" she is getting on her screen, and found out it is because they put the screen protector on backwards(her screen protector feels more rough than mine).. so they are sending her two stick on screen protectors. May have to try and just pop out her screen protector and flip it over?

Go on YouTube and look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzHnvjc_-30 for the candy shell and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmaW5bPuxFw&feature=channel_video_title for the Defender and you'll see that they're as good as each other...I just exchanged for the Speck and got a screen protector for the exact same price (minus one cent) and couldn't be happier! It feels much better, you can actually feel vibration, looks better, and is just as protected.

Defender is still good, just don't make my mistake by getting the Impact.
The Impact is a $20 Glorified Gel Skin Piece of Crap! (Seriously it's just a gel skin)
If I saved 1 person $20, I'm happy...

She has my Otterbox Commuter now which is similar to the Seidio Active case. I've switched over to nothing while I debate using a TPU or a Incipio Feather, as I have a lapdock now and the Commuter is just too big to fit...
I read somewhere you can remove a plate or something on the laptop dock to make extra room. I might have been seeing things though

Ugh my defenders head phone door came off the phone recently just a confirmation of this problem sadly i would have thought it would have happened to the usb flap first being that i dont use headphones that often. I dont know if i should try to get them to send be a new silicon part out now that I got a body glove case today Seems to be a good alternative to this the grip on the case is nice and theres an option to have aclip on the back for a belt clip that comes with it Witch would be good if you used the Defender holster but you can replace the clip with circle shaped peace that finishes the case only thing that might be bad is there is no protection for the ports. I will say that it being all in one layer unlike the plastic and silicon on the defender means that there is no creekiness that i some time felt on my defender. it setill clips together on the front and back similar to the defender plastic layer though without a built in screen protector.
if anyone is looking for one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154013
So I had the maximum cover on my phone. BUt it was an awkward fit, the slim side panels fell off. The back covers I had to cut a line down the middle to get it to fit on the curve. The corners where I had the slits eventually came loose and flapped about.
But I left it all on untill I got fed up after it turned my nice white phone a lovely shade of brown, so now it's currently defenceless apart from a cover on the screen.
Anybody know what the full body protection is like?
It has less parts but looks like the back may be a better fit. I get a free replacement from zagg but wondering which one poeple recomend?
On an other note anyone change their phones entire outer cover? fancy a change to a black phone!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130553746...AX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1155wt_991
I would get one with just the back cover but then the silver tones from the front won't match. Unless someone can anyone reccomend one?
I've looked at the phone and it appears to take off the front you need to unscrew a screw which has a "void warranty" sticker over it, but guessing I've done this already with changing the OS to cyanogenmod.
I have the full body Zagg cover, pics here: http://capableandroid.blogspot.com/2010/10/zagg-invisibleshield.html
After almost an year some corners have come loose and filled with dust, but the middle and bottom parts are ok.
As for the case.. I can`t comment, I have a brown-grey one and I`m fine with it. (i still use a gel case, just in case.)
Looks different to the one I had. I see you have no protection over the corners, for my case I have to make a slit over them so the case was eventually overlapped. Mine has only lasted 6months...if that. Was horibbly discoloured. It's done the job though. Shame about the odd bits that havn't been protected. Never noticed the marks before since I took off the old shield.
I bought the Zagg invisible shield maximum cover but havin't applied it yet, doesn't sound very good. Is the screen protector ok and is the fluid you use to apply it safe, can it stain or discolour the phone, thanks.

The fluid is save. If you, by any change, get fluid IN the phone, just leave it to dry for a day or two before putting in the battery.
OK, thanks for the advice.
Dont buy a silicone case it just grips to the inside of your pocket and is a pain to get out!!!
Don't buy this either (which is what I have but it came with a screen cover and was much cheaper)
Here
It is like a nightmare taking that cover off, especially since after charging my phone it won't boot and I have to take the battery out. It is even such a terrible nightmare taking it off I always have to take it off using a knife (otherwise it simply won't budge) so don't buy that either.
i use a leather case its similar to this one but it doesnt have the card holders and its not for a wildfire s
I'm using a silicon case for a while now and it's pretty useful.
Brand: Muvit
Very easy to remove, no problem to grab my wildfire from my pocket and doesn't oversize the phone.
The only drawback I have is the combinaison with a screen protector but very pointless.
I prefer the leather case
Got a nice hydrogel case with a free screen protector fron ebay!It is great compared to silicone cases and only 3 euros!!!

i bought one a about £3 off ebay, it annoys the hell outta me. its now collecting dust in my bedroom for this reason.
Its the screen i really wanted protected. My Wildfire is 18 months old now and not a scratch on the screen. I keep it in the same pocket as my loose change too - so would've been another waste of money if i'd gotten a screen protector or leather case after that.
I use the Soft Gel case with a screen protector, it works well. I had one of the hard Silicone cases but you struggle to push the buttons with those. Never had a problem getting either out of my pocket or removing the phone from the cover.
i have gone caseless for a while now using just a screen protector.. but i got sick of them managing to lift up and get dust underneath so i have gone naked and there still isnt a scratch on the screen!!
I've also had problems with my phone in the pocket when having a silicone case so i bought a rubberized plastic one .
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
3 different cases... dont use any of them.
after a year, my wildfire has certainly excelled ! no scratches, pretty decent condition
I started to use a silicone case, but find that it will turn yellow and later bought the hard case
I personally use a silicone protection for over a year and it does not block in the pocket, there are probably different types of silicone
Moreover he has already fallen a few times with this protection and it is still like new
I use a silicone and i haven´t got any problems
Bought on Amazon store
I have both silicone and a leather case and I mostly use the leather one because its sleek and elegant and the silicone one I use when I am running and doing outdoor activities such as camping.......
So I have pretty good experience with both of them and I will recommend them both.
Cheers

For me no case no scratch guard, black is the new sexy
'BAZINGA'!
When i bought my HTC One Stealth Black, i made sure that i got a perfect model (no defects). I took about an hour in the shop examining all the black HTC One's (they agreed to open 3 boxes for me) before i finally made up my mind. I paid for my phone off-contract and went home perfectly happy with a 801e model (it also has a sticker on the side of the phone that says UKR and on the box as well, so i guess it's from Ukraine and i got a 3-pin power adapter in the box together with the standard 2-pin charger plug) and also got a free TPU case with screen protector, as gift from the shop. Well, i put my phone in the TPU case as soon as i got home for fear of any drops/bumps/scratches, put it in my jeans pocket and went through the rest of my day moving around. Later that afternoon, i pulled the phone out of its case to touch the cold aluminium back and to my horror, i found a scratch (there were no scratches whatsoever before) that matched the contour of the TPU case around the camera. The scratch is around the flash.
Conclusion: The cheap unbranded TPU case seemed to fit the phone snugly but apparently not, as the constant movement and rubbing of the phone within the TPU case from inside my jeans pocket had caused the sharp edge of the TPU case to slowly erode the paint coating. It's a good thing that i noticed it after only one day usage or the etching would have definitely gone deeper, possibly even exposing the aluminium colour after a couple of days. It says "nothing but the best" on the packaging of the unbranded case, which is ironic.
So, my advice (and the reason for my endless rant in this post): stay away from cheap TPU cases, even if it says TPU, which might be true about the material itself but the fact of the matter - without a tight fit of the phone inside the casing, the resulting inside friction between the phone and its casing will damage your phone, causing the paint to wear off. This is probably not applicable to those of you who chose/use the Glacial Silver HTC One, since any scratch will probably not show up. But with time, the constant friction might cause the scratch to become visible. I've attached pictures so you can understand why i'm *****ing about my One By the way, i apologize for my dirty camera lens.
Lesson learnt - i've already ordered 3 casings (the best i could find after hours of searching, for cases that offer a balance between compactness v/s protection); Cimo Grip Back Case Flexible TPU Black, Otterbox Commuter Black and UAG Aero. I wouldn't bother with any other cases, unless you want even more protection, then you should be satisfied with the Otterbox Defender case.
My friend .. ANY case you put on the phone has the potential to scratch the aluminum on the edges. It is simple physics: if you get some dust/sand in between the case and the aluminum (where in other locations can the dust/sand/lint settle ?) any slight pressure or movement of the case will cause a small surface defect. You can not hide from that and you can not prevent that.
Live with it ! It is called reality.

I had the black for a while. I think that it is prone to anything. Apart from light scratches sustained by using the double dip case, the camera cut out of an incipio case left a watermark on it as well. Now using a silver one and not a single scratch. Rotating between three cases.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't anodized AL WAY harder than TPU?
If it is, then isn't it PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE for the case itself to scratch the phone?
Either a) there was dust/dirt in the case or
b) it's not a scratch, try wiping it with mild soap, water and a soft cloth.
Interesting thread...you were writing this 3 years ago, I just picked up two pristine condition used m7s, both with nearly all day batteries. Yesterday I got two cases of the first type described below.
I just love these phones so much. They are such a huge upgrade from any phone I have had since I had a droid 2 from motorola before knowing anything at all about these nifty little computers.
I just came in here to say that I will be getting the hard glass protection from now on for every phone I get. Would also recommend to anyone as it is far superior to foils.
Also three good types of cases:
- the hardened shell with no button coverage, and brushed metal exterior
- the clear plastic back, black bumpered semi hard with plugs and accurately designed button enhancers (distinguished by black surface lines on the back coming in from upper and lower edges about a cm each, towards the antennas)
-and believe it or not I really liked the ordinary rubber sort of cases with wavy line down the back and dual texture... as long as they have button covers. But those wouldnt be good for people who have a hard time with the buttons already.
Just picking up these phones starting in June 2016...has made my android experience so much more enjoyable...now being able to play top 3d heavy performance requiring games...and so much different development for the phones.
here's a couple pics of my phone cases I was describing. no scratches whatsoever on the two used like new phones, although its a used case on goldy. the other phones are for family and such, but also loving the cases on them. red looks good in red but it obscures the back... so take clear

Hi
I bought a oneplus one about 3 months ago and I absolutely love it however I dropped it a while ago and everything is fine but the frame area to the left of the charging port is completely jacked up :/ chunks of it are missing too...
I'm currently using the oneplus flip cover however it doesn't cover it up, so my question is: is there any light tpu/hard shell case that covers up the entire silver bezel, or at least the bottom of the phone so I don't have to look at this anymore xD. All cases I've seen so far leave a bit of the bottom frame exposed just enough so you can see the damage :'(
Anyone know any case that can cover it up?
Thanks!
I advise you to look for the "Diztronic" TPU case, covers completely the silver frame, following the contour of the screen. There's just a 1 cm spot where the frame is visible, at the bottom of the cover, near the hole for the USB cable, but in normal use is not visible. It's 6 months that I'm using this cover in combination with a tempered glass and I'm really satisfied.
Guess it all depends on what kind of protection you want. If you just want mild protection and to just cover the sides, then go with the tpu case. If you want heavy protection, I would suggest the Tudia Omnix Hybrid, http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Full-body-Protective-Protector-Resistant/dp/B00SO4XYHA . I have the Tudia case and it has taken a beating and protected the phone very well, even from some pretty high falls. Only con about the Tudia case, is that the front covers the sides of the screen a bit and prevents touch at the the very edges of screen. This can be a bit bothersome if using apps in full screen/landscape when you have to swipe down to exit full screen.

I totally agree, couldn't have said it better. Here are some visuals for you. I got the Diztronic case when I bought the phone, it has protected it from falling out a car, off the desk, and off a moderately high shelf. You can get a tempered glass screen protector off eBay, have to search a bit (TechArmor don't have one). I got one from user dreamlight2004 for around 5 dollars. I made the mistake of getting the OPO screen protector when i first got my phone and it went bad a month ago, a hard scratch from a key. Tempered glass protector looks so much better. Just loaded COS13, it should keep me busy until the OP3 gets announced - so far it's looking to be a really good phone (boo on the OP2 and OPX)

I agree, Diztronic bumpers are terrific.
I'm using this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rearth-Case-OnePlus-One-Folie-Ringke-Fusion-Schutzhulle-Cover-Tasche-klar-/121715293296?hash=item1c56cbfc70:g:gAUAAOSwT6pVt5tV And it is awesome. You can also print your designs for this case!
Ringke Fusion for me is great. It covers the OPO completly.
DO NOT BUY THE TUDIA CASE.
I bought it because I thought it looked pretty sweet. It's the worst case I have ever owned, and I have owned a few. Half the case is slippery nonsense plastic. You grab your phone "wrong" (by this I do not mean insecurely, but simply you happen to not have your fingers on enough of the case's rubber outline), it's like holding an eel.
The clips covering the audio jack and usb port are an absolute NIGHTMARE to open, and plugging in your charger for the night would realistically take three hands with 17 fingers each to manage in a reasonable timeframe. Good thing my audio jack's clip, after having been used exactly twice without even the slightest bit of the abuse it deserved, now no longer clips into it's crevice, and is permanently hanging out at a 30 degree angle. The pop-out clip on the back is nail ruining torture to get out, as is the rubber outline holding the front of the case, should you want to get this garbage off to see how far you can launch it through the air in rage.
I wouldn't use this piece of junk if they paid me.
I am using the TUDIA Dual-Layer case+a glass screen protector, which turned my One to a tank
I drop it way too often, but it still works flawlessly, so I can recommend this case. It also coverers the aluminum frame
I can rep the Poetic Case found here:
I took out the screen protector but I have been rocking the case for more than a year. It is kinda bulky but I have no worries about dropping it or tossing my phone on my desk. Also, It is kinda water resistant (with the screen protector). I have dropped like a glass of water on it and quickly cleaned it up with no harm
