Case Mate

Anyone have
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/case-mate-barely-there-for-htc-one-x-white-p34572.htm
and can let me know what its like thinking of ordering one does it protect the camera at all ?

Hey I've tried it in carphone, it does not seem to offer the best protection for your camera as it does not go higher than what the camera protrudes from the HOX.
You would be best ordering the official one offers better protection, either than one with the leather cover or without.
Only downside is if you have a grey phone might look out of place, but it didn't bother me with my grey HOX

Where is the best place to order the official one ? thanks for the input

Im just after ordering a Case Mate Barely There in black from play.com yesterday (£14.99).
I just upgraded to my One X yesterday coming from a Desire S and even before that I had the original Desire and for both phones I used the same case from Case Mate and loved them!

At the moment, rather hard to say most of the usual places are out of stock or in back order (mobile fun, expansys, amazon, play, clove)
Personally try carphone it's where I picked one up, even though the cost is full retail price what with how hard it is to get one might be worth it.

Just got one from orange shop, £15, and is v nice. Light and slim, better grip than original case so less chance of droppage, and good access to volume, power, etc. Downside is doesn't protect camera lens, or front corners of phone

The Casemate Barely There is my favorite case so far in terms of looks and feel. Actually contrasts nicely with my gray unit, doesn't add much bulk, and does what I want it to do, which is protect that fragile back surface from getting shiny spots. Half the reason I bought the One was the way it felt in my hand, so it's a bit of a shame to use any case, but HTC didn't do a good job durability testing that back surface for wear.
The Barely There offers no protection for the camera at all, but that really doesn't bother me, camera ain't no big deal to me, since I only take pictures of my thumb, and that by accident.
I also bought the official cover (C700) and it looks like total ass on my gray phone, it's really made for the white One X, but frankly, no man with one or both testes still attached should be sporting a white phone anyway.

I have the Barely There Case in Black, the HTC One X in White, and both spuds functioning perfectly thank you. Tonight I am going to pursue such manly endeavours as peeing on something, thumping my chest, and making outlandish remarks about other peoples tastes.
For those who like the Barely There case but are worried about camera lens damage, the Martin Fields screen protector comes with 2 camera lens protectors too.
Right. I'm off to pick some daisys and watch Twilight movies......dam! You got me!

All in good fun mate. Half of all male humour is about casting aspersions on another male's manliness.

Post of the thread, right here Good to see that British sense of humor is alive and well!

The white is shiny like on Rock ones?
If yes then it will not look good on a grey HOX.
I am searching for a matt white for my grey hox

Ordinarily I'd agree, but the white version was available for $499 on Newegg, $100 cheaper than the grey, which I certainly prefer. I guess I'll have to stop making fun of guys with white phones...

Anyone using the white Barely There case on a grey HOX care to post some pics please? Stock ones on their website aren't great. Thanks!!

Incipio feather

Im interested in the incipio feather after reading many reviews. I'm fairly set on it unless anyone has a better alternative. I have 2 tpu cases that I don't use anymore and would like to step up.
Also, I'm tossed on the color to get. I'm leaning towards the blue cause I like the look of the Lumia 900, but I don't know if its too much. I would consider another brand if it is recommend tho?

I just got the blue one last week on my Black E4GT. Love it.

What color is your E4GT? I have the black feather on my white E4GT and I think it looks really good...but the grey one would probably look good as well...

I have a black e4gt. I wish incipio made a white feather, but they dont. thats why im on the blue one now. All the other colors dont seem right for me.
I wish i had a white e4gt. i would definitely put the black incipio on it as well

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.

Thanks for the suggestion. I really don't want to mess with it, kor do I have the time. Just seems odd they wouldn't make a white version.
Anyways, does anyone have a pic of the blue on on their phone?

from what Ive read the pictures from incipio are a little misleading. one review i saw commented that there actually way more protection on the corner

Got both Black and Red colors, i like it a lot, makes the phone a lot slimmer and at the same time protects it well.
Will post pictures later

I saw that one as well. I don't know why these suppliers dont make white. I know case mate does, but those are terribly made
if anyone has a pic of the blue incipio feather i'd really like to see it on a real phone before I buy

true, my white sline got pretty dirty, but it depends on the material used. That was a very easily stained rubber. a feather case with an overcoat like they make for iphone would more than suffice for the average user

Sooo anyone got a picture of this thing?

Video Review: Rock Quicksand Case

Nice video.. was going to buy this case for mine next week.. cos i dont like bulky cases..and that non slippery texture just caught me... i have heard that it comes in grey and purple and some other colour.. i have the blue galaxy s3.. which one do you think would suit that??

get the dark blue or grey one.

Definitely go with that charcoal black or grey.

Great video dud. I hope you don't mind but i link your video to the american forums.

I got the same case in grey and it is very nice, just make sure you dont get a 'copy' as theres quite a few on ebay (it should say 'ROCK' on the back).

Even though this case might not be as protective as some TPU cases, I find the texture to provide superior grip and in- hand feel.
I've had the dark and light gray cases (authentic) for about two weeks now and they hold up well with no signs of wear.
I think I'd go so far as to say that the Rock Quicksand is THE best case I've ever had for ANY phone. And like most of you XDA folks, that's a lot of phones and cases!

Go with the Black one....which is actually a DARK GREY. Not sure why Rock even calls it Black....maybe they're color blind?I'm sure whoever created the color codes in China just called the Dark Grey Black....and the Light Grey....Grey. They should actually be Dark Grey.....Light Grey.:victory:
I bought the Generic Grey initially and thought it looked MUCH too light on my Blue GS3....kinda reminded me of the underbelly of a Stingray or even a Great White Shark....but now it's grown on me.
Just for reference the Generic Quicksand case available on Amazon has a more rubberized texture....and it's actually quite nice.
I have a few more weeks to send it back I think I'll keep it....unlike the Rearth Ringke which just doesn't do it for me even though many of the feature are ever so slightly better than the Rock.
I plan on doing a side by side comparison of all three cases right after Christmas and maybe have a few more cases to compare against each other.

Dbrand skins for Oneplus One

Hey everyone! Have anybody tried these dbrand skins yet? They were really popular among the nexus 4 users. Would love to know if anyone have tried it on their One yet. https://dbrand.com/shop/oneplus-one
Sent from my One using Tapatalk

i'd get one but dbrand doesn't recommend using it on the black edition of the OPO (and im sure most people own the black sandstone over the white one)

Don't really have the choice when OnePlus sends invites for 64GB instead of 16GB
dbrand makes awesome skins though. I feel that they should make a third party backplate to put the skins on.

I was planning to purchase one but kept seeing the warning messages. I guess it would feel a little awkward against the back of the device.

Just kinda crappy because dbrand supports this phone and then no body buys it because it shouldn't be used on sandstone

I have dbrand skins on my nexus 5 and nexus 7. It feels odd not being able to get one on this device do I ordered just the camera skin. yeah it's tiny, but at least it's something. There a awesome company with a awesome product so I don't mind supporting them and getting such a small pointless skin on this device.

I considered doing the same thing, then I found out that even though the camera skin costs only 2$, the shipping itself is 3$...
I'm currently waiting for dbrand to do some sort of free shipping promo and then I'll order mine. I can't stand being a supporter without my phone even wearing a skin
P.S I had a black cf skin on my Nexus 4 for a year and loved it, gotta get something for my black OPO as well

Just ordered a white carbon fiber front, red carbon fiber back, and white camera cutout. Stoked to see them on this device.

Going to order a red carbon fiber camera skin , will look good with my black official flip case
Sent from my OnePlus One

I ordered just the white carbon fiber back, and in my opinion, it looks light-years better than the Sandstone Black. The sides are uncovered by the sticker, so you still get a fair amount of grippiness on the sides. Now, my OPO literally turns heads when I put it on a table. I highly recommend it, despite the warnings. I'll post pictures if there's any interest.

Here is how the mahagony wood looks like. I have the sandstone back and it was very simply to put on. I used a hair dryer to apply.

Love the look of this! Two questions, I heard that the bumper potentially messes up the sides of your phone, is that correct? And will these skins cause the sandstone to wear out in anyway?

This looks amazing, ordering now.

I had one for awhile and it worked great! I have a sandstone black too and it was fine. They give you alot of warnings not to use it on sandstone tho. I eventually took it off though. They only give you a back piece and it makes the sides look weird.

Best Clear Case?

Anyone have an opinion on what the best clear case is?
I have a Ringke one for my Nexus 6 and would like to get something similar for the Moto X I just ordered.
thanks for your opinions.

The closest I could find was this: (and I bought it) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Griffin-Mot...140?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a1280b9c
I've searched, but there's not too much available in clear cases. Ballistic has the Jewel line of cases also, which are basically clear and provide good protection. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Ballist...678?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a1a1c1f6

There's also this one Case-Mate Motorola Moto X Clear. Sadly though, it doesn't have a cutout for the Motorola dimple

I'm currently using this case after trying out and rejecting a few similar cases before it and have to say, this one is just perfect for me. I have a one with a royal blue backplate and blue accents/trim and even though it doesn't have a cutout for the dimple I really don't miss it. I'd rather not have it exposed and decolourized.
Only complain I have is the volume rocker and the power buttons on the case have a shiny silver metallic paint on it concealing the blue accents on the phone but its not really a big deal. Attached a couple of pics of how it looked when I first put it on. Excuse the poor quality of the images due to the bad lighting condition of my garage.
Also one issue cases like these have is the silicone bumper tends to get decolourized after a few months of usage and turns yellowish. This has an easy fix though. All you have to do is to dip it in a solution of dilute liquid fabric whitener for 15-20 mins and its bright as new. I use one of those liquid blue fabric whiteners and it lasts months.

Anachronizer, I have the same case and, side from the yellowish patina, I like it. I can't find the fabric whitener you're talking about. May I know the brand and product name, please?
While I'm posting, how does everyone's X hold up?I had an HTC that looked badass with some gouges. Like a veteran. I'm probably going down to skins if I can't get this case clear. And then stage down to naked.

Well, I don't think we are from the same part of the planet so naming the product and the brand I use wouldn't really help much. Assuming you are in the US judging from you carrier which is at&t I'd say any liquid blue fabric whitener would do. Did a little search and this particular product seemed to be similar to the one I use.
http://www.amazon.com/Mrs-Stewarts-Bluing-8oz/dp/B001NEMV3Q/
These blue fabric whiteners are milder compared to regular chlorine bleach fabric whiteners so you have less chance of damaging the silicone strip. All it does is counterbalance the yellow with a blue hue which eventually fades after you start using it leaving a bluish white tint. But you have to repeat this every few months depending on the usage and how quickly it oxidises back to yellow.

Its amazing what products I've found in the UK, Australia and even Philippines that also sell in USA. I tried Rit laundry treatment, which is a powder and did NOT work.
Thank you for looking up a similar product for me. I really appreciate the extra effort!
