Well I just wanted to share with everyone my experience with the back cover and the color coming off after 1 1/2 weeks from the retail box. When I called HTC they did not give me any problems and sent me a new one.
I have kept the phone on Micro-Fiber cloths and what short time it is in a case it is in the T-Mobile sleeve for the Sensation which is soft inside. So I know it is not my use which caused it, the case is possible but I doubt it.
Bottom line is I think their could be some paint/color issues with the back cover so keep a watch for it and if you notice it call HTC and get a replacement.
So has anyone else experienced this? Please leave your comments.
Here is a couple of pictures of mine. You can see the area where the color is coming off just to the right and a little below the camera opening.
It looks like normal wear and tear from the body oils on your hands. I hope that isn't the case and their was some real issue. If this "issue" happens again I probably wouldn't ask for another case personally. On the bright side you can probably sell that other case for like $40 right now.

Same thing happened to me the first week I had the phone... I returned mine to T-Mobile for another one. Glad to see I wasn't the only one! Good luck with the replacement cover.

Well I would agree with you if it had been 6 months, but not 12 days. Maybe I have atomic hands LOL

No when it leaves the micro fiber cloth it goes in to the slip pouch. I'm very protective of my phones and I will never put one of my phones in my pocket unprotected.
Other phones I have like the thunderbolt and MT4G I have never had this problem.
I just hope the new case holds up better.
Happened with my XPERIA X1 (made by HTC), happened to my N1, and now it will probably happen to my Sensation. Good to know.
Perhaps it's the skip pocket and the constant slipping in and out of something that fit's so tightly.

Perhaps but the slip case is from T-Mobile and for the sensation and is lined with a soft material. And I mean how many times I could have taken it in and out over 12 days period is, well not that many times as while I'm working I use my work phone.
I might try a different case on this new back cover to see if it makes a difference.
I feel like all phone covers with this surface will be rubbed off eventually
I am having the same problem. I've had the phone 3 weeks, and it is looking pretty bad. It only seems to affect the top third of the case. I'll try calling HTC...
btw, I am also using the t-mobile slip case...
Good thing I got a cover for it to avoid this. Although this does look like normal wear and tear.

You think this looks like normal wear and tear for a 12 day old phone? I would agree if the phone was older maybe but if the paint is coming off this quick after purchase I just can't see it being normal. Also this phone has been in a case when not on my micro fiber cloth.
I think it's your atomic hands. Or too much Texas BBQ!
I've had mine 35 days now and no visible wear on the cover. I have ZERO protection on my phone and it's either in my cheap holster during work or taking up it's solo pocket location in my jeans/shorts. My holster interior is not really that soft and I holster the phone a ****load throughout the day. Honestly... I would expect my phone to have a lot of wear already. I've been in love with the sexy feel of this phone since day one and find myself holding and caressing it sometimes even when I'm not using it.
Not sure if that helps or not but due to my holster and my almost perverse fascination with the feel of this device I would expect to see some wear on mine.
Exact reason I got my tpu Case. Need to keep the resale value up.

No it was definitely made by HTC, just sold by Sony. Because Sony could never produce a decent device. And THAT phone had a problem with its backcover, horrible I finished with rubbing ALL the color off, basically turning the black model into a silver model Looked as if it were new. But I think that's kinda hard to do with the Sensation because there are electronics in the cover. Or is it just metal parts for the antenna?

I also had X1 and the exact same thing happened to me. The cover changed the color from black to silver
Anyone here have a tough time deciding which color to get? I chose the white but am still not sure yet if I should have a chosen the grey. I love the look of the white phone from the back, but the grey looks really good with anything black on the screen (keyboard, apps with mostly black ui, music player & Pandora). Also, which really made me ultimately choose the white is some people are reporting that if the grey phone gets scuffed it wears out the finish and your can see glossy marks.
This was a hard decision for me. It makes it that much harder that I have severe OCD
So did you guys have to make a decision on which one to get or did you have your heart set on a white or grey one from the beginning? Just curious.
I decided to get the white one. They had plenty of grey ones in stock but I decided to wait for the white one since they were sold out. Should be picking it up tomorrow.

I was in the AT&T store for literally 2 hours deciding which one to get. A few employees there thought it was hilarious lol. I ended up with the grey one. While I do think the white one is sexy as hell, I think over time it will get marked up more than the grey, especially since I don't like using a case except for when I'm at work. I still have 27 days to decide but I'll most likely stick with grey, which I still think is bad ass looking. Lets face it, we have hands down the best looking phone out right now no matter which color it is.
Yea I got pretty lucky. There are like 7-8 AT&T stores within like 30 miles of where I live and every one was sold old except for two. One had like 2-3 grey ones but no white and the other, it was odd, had a pretty good stock of both.
I too took forever trying to decide, but went with the white.
It's dead sexy!!!!!
Took my white one back Fri. and picked up the grey one. I too don't use a case and was afraid of it getting too dirty.
I went with the grey after seeing the amount of staining from blue jeans with the white model.

White all the way..took a little decision making lol but I've always had black or grey..and with bodyguards full body skin I don't think it will ever get dingy or dirty or scratched lol
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I went with the grey.
* I don't use a case (was afraid white would dirty)
* grey seemed more manly
* white seems just trendy
* white reminds me of iPhone or Apple devices
* white looks more like a plastic toy than a serious piece of tech
* white makes the phone look bigger - grey looks slender
Don't get me wrong it still was a tough decision for me. I liked how the white accentuated the curved screen edges.

I always get black phones so I wanted to switch it up. I rarely like white on phones but something about the One X in white had me drooling.
I've made my decision and don't regret it one bit.

I loved my white 4s and now I love my white one x
Had a white iPhone 4S for a long time. The white is extremely distracting to me, granted the white One X doesn't include the glass, but I just enjoyed how the camera's ring of plastic and the HTC logo were closer in color than the contrast of the silver/white thing going on with the white model, even though to me from the side the white model looked liked this car: http://images.psxextreme.com/wallpapers/ps3/white_lamborghini_615.jpg
Still, dark grey just felt like more of my thing.
i went with the grey One X, i was contemplating on getting the white one but the screen surround on the white one was black which was a bit of a turn off imo
So I went with the grey since the screen surround matched the grey better then the white.
Being that I got my mother and fiance a white one recently, it was almost my duty to go grey. It seems like grey will be the less popular color and it looks great with the matte finish. The sides of the white were much more noticeably shiney than on the grey model.

Didn't even look at the grey one. Saw the white one and it was love at first sight!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Normally I go with black phones, this is the first phone I've been even remotely interested in getting in white. So I did. I'm crossing my fingers that it won't get too dirty - or worse yet stained - because I don't use a case, but I've heard that polycarbonate casings are pretty easy to clean so I have my hopes up.
If it starts to get dirty and dingy I'll get a case lol
White was a no brainer for me. My only issue is my OCD with cases now, most cases look better with the grey one cept the speck candyshell that came white but i hated it as well
Why cant otterbox commuter make a white version of their case? I hate the white trim showing and not making the overall look cohesive

Tough decision but I knew ultimately I'd be happier with the grey. The white looks a little more feminine, and it reminded me of Eva from wall-e. Lol, Evita/Eva...coincidence?

Not to be an ass, but if you're really particular about things, it doesn't mean that you have OCD.
As someone who has a sibling who is truly very affected by OCD and whose mom is a psychologist, I've learned that OCD is not being particular about things. It's doing irrational things like twisting doorknobs a certain way or having to touch things in a certain way before you can pick them off of a store shelf. It's all about routines and being afraid of what happens if you don't follow those routines, not being picky about your gadgets.
Bought this case on Amazon for $10 USD
I liked it because I like my phone naked because the One X is the most beautiful phone I've ever had but i dropped it once and it scared the **** out of me, so I went hunting for a case. Wanted something that would preserve the beauty of my phone but give it some kind of protection from my clumsiness. Hey this thing is $10 and comes with a screen protector, what more could you as for?
Fits the phone nice and tight but not too tight. Doesn't cover the flash and all the necessary holes are cut out just right. Now I feel better about carrying my phone around not worrying too much about physical damage. I love this phone so much, in 3 years when the galaxy s7 comes out Ill still be using the One X as my media/camera device.
I would rate this case as 10/10 because it was exactly what I was looking for
but realistically if I factor in its protection status this case gets a 7/10
Hi there,
May i ask if this case blocks the GPS signal? On my old phone, the HTC Desire HD, such "silicon type" cases causes the signal to be blocked. Thanks.

No. I don't really see how a soft case can block GPS signal... But this one definitely doesn't.

There is no GPS interference with this case.
My main gripe with this case is because of the nature of TPU it turned yellow and I mean FAST, within a couple of weeks.

There is in fact a dark grey version of this same case, I've been using it for a good month and have had no discoloration problems. Of course, you'd probably only want it if you have a gray X like I do, but here's the link for what its worth: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007X4XS3C/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8

The discoloration seems to be a problem with an clear type tpu. My cruzerlite clear case has turned yellow too. Need to find a nice tpu case that goes with a white one X.

Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
yup. The nature of TPU. Mine did the same thing.
Wasn't 3 days but it didn't look very nice for long.
I have this case. I love it. It doesn't block any signals. Another big perk of it is you can lay your phone on a table with the screen facing down. The case extends 1 or 2 millimeters past the screen so it doesn't touch the screen.
edit: I got the black one, so I don't know about the "yellowing" thing.
Same here like most others. Great case, fits well. Looked gorgeous when it was new. Within a couple of weeks looks like crap. Turned yellowish and looks dirty like you just came back from some place where they were having a dirt storm or something like that. Looking for an alternative now.
P.S. Bought the same kind for my SGSIII and same thing happened to it too. On the whole I like Diztronic very much but I guess I would stay away from transparent TPU cases because of this technical issue.

This should probably be in the accessories forum.
With that pointed out, I have a white x myself and wanted to hide it some, though it has grown on me since getting it.
I had the guys when I got my ghost armor put on the screen, to cover the back in one of their black skins.
It looks pretty good, black back with white trim around edges, plus its backed for life by GA as well.

There are lot of cases on Amazon and eBay but I don't know if I'd personally buy a white case. Just in fear of it looking cheap. I do have to say though my HTC One XL looks beast with a red case. if you really want a white HOX why don't you just exchange it at the store you bought it from, unless they're permanently out of stuck. :/

Only problem i found in converting white grey or vise versa is the speaker holes present in HTC One X.
Most of the case makers not individually covering the spaces around the speaker holes.
So, if we put a white case on gray HTC One X, the speaker area would still look grey

If you can find someone with a white case, the phone comes apart very cleanly, without tools.

Well if SGP makes an ultrathin for our phone, then that one covers the speaker grills. But the front edges are still exposed.

That is another idea, you mean full swap I assume or just the case?
I'd hate to get a scratched or iffy screen in exchange that route though.

I was checking out the ballistic and Siedo case discussion on this section and a gentleman presented this case. Neither him or I have this case but just look at it. If you really need the highest level of protection then this case seems to be it!
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360549613773&index=8&nav=SEARCH&nid=66660487352
It even offers cover for the 3.5 mm headphone jack, kickstand, and a holster!
I picked the red link since I like the color red, but they also offer it in black, purple, red (duh), white and blue.
Let me know what you guys think

I ordered a black + blue one a few days ago so I should recieve it in a few days. I also spotted a white + pink one too. I was impressed by the cheap Exact armor case I got from amazon, so I have high expectations on this one.
what do u do for a living, remove land mines?
I too have the 4 dollar exact Armor case from amazon and it's very well built I dropped my phone this morning on the way to the bathroom (about a e feet fall into my foot) and it survived pretty well! I wonder if this could be the case that I would be using to go to the gym with though. I would have to find a way to attach it to my bicycle. Nothing duct tape can't resolve!
