[Q] What made you choose your Black/Grey one S

What was the reason that made you choose a Black One S instead of the Grey one, or vice-versa !!!
Was it the looks, the coating ......... ???
I want to pre-order the One S but did not have the chance to see the phones in real to make a decision. ( release date in the Netherlands 25-27 April )

I only got Grey because thats what was sent to me lol. But i like it, and if i had a choice i probably would have chose grey.
It feels really nice and smooth ( a bit too smooth) Its hard to keep a grip on it, I really need a case for it, I can see me dropping it within the next few weeks.
But i think grey is the better colour, It has the blue camera ring which looks awesome. The coating is like Gun metal its just the best IMO.

Black with the red camera ring is just pure eye candy in my eyes.

Can someone who held both tell us something about how they feel?
I'm thinking about changing my pre-order to the grey version...

T-mobile Germany simply doesn't have the grey ones - so I had to order the black one. Got it and started loving the way it looks even switched off. It's still a black beauty.
I had to take the pic without flashlight so its not too good.

Maybe I am not the best person to answer your question cos I don't have either black or grey one yet, but I did play with both of them couple of times already.
Black is, simply awsome IMO, perfect colour nice feel in hand, only downside is the material chipping problem so waiting for a final solution before getting one.
However, if black is not an option, grey is not bad at all, personally I don't mind the colour of the body just the ring colour of the camera looks a bit not my style but I am sure I can be used to it.
Yes, due to differnt material, the grey one is a bit slippery in hand indeed so may need a case unlike the black one which just sticks to your palm.

Black, because it feels better and T-Mobile Germany doesn't have any of the grey.
Holded the grey one and it's colder and not so stoney in the hand, more like metal

Now I just want the black one more! Hope htc is gonna figure this out soon..

I thank you all, for the reply .
The One S and X are the first phones since the Desire ( I had some and seen allot ) that brought back the feeling:
"I want this mother f...... "
The HOX is to big and I don't have much trust in T3, so I've decided for HOS.
This is the impression I get from the photos.
The grey one looks more stylish on the front view. The black screen pumps out the grey corners which is really eye caching and more stylish.
But I don't like the back. The difference between the alu. body and the plastic covers ( top and bottom ) is to big , while at the black one is more in one tone.
And than is that MAO "thing", which I hope that HTC will get the grip on it and fix it.
Anyway, I decided to wait two more weeks to get one. The release date here, or the 28th when I go to Germany.
Thanks again.

Got a black at first but after "paint" chipping problems got it exchanged for a Grey model...

Which one do you like better in terms of feeling and overall look ?
Initially I ordered the black ceramic but changed it to the grey metal version when I heard about those chipping problems.
Mine will be shipped at the end of April (27th) , so should I risk to take the black one ? For me colour doesn't really matter, as long as it's durable and feels good in the hand...

Both look good, but the black feels more like plastic...

Are they both grippy and fingerprint-free or is there any difference?
The grey one on those pictures looks really weird, I thought the metal was more like dark grey instead of light (brownish) grey.

Maybe its the pic itself, Its like a gun metal grey, I have it and i love it..
I prefer it over the black one, Because it looks more rugged. As said above the black feel a bit 'plasticky'
As for fingerprint, The screen is just like any other really, It does show up finger marks, But the back doesnt.
Ive got a screen protector on mine, Its 'finger mark proof' It works well too ! A screen protector is a must have for me for any phone. I dont believe anything is 'scratch poof'
The Grey version is a little too smooth, Its hard to grip (well it is for me, My palms dont sweat - a result from a previous operation)
I dont know how the black feels in hand but overall the grey is the better version

At first, I wanted the black one (I like the design of it), but then I heard about the problems with the micro arc oxidation, so I decided to take the blue one. The performance is very good, it fits well in my pocket, I like it

I wanted the grey one from the start. I know how anodized aluminum feels like and I love that type of material.
But the store that I went to only had the black one and I just couldn't wait. Like others said it feels kind of like plastic. That soft rubberized plastic that they also used on the HD2.
Only when you knock on it, scratch your nail on it or when its cold, do you know thats its metal.

I'm not sure I'm just getting whatever T-Mobile gets first.

[Q] HTC advertised this phone as not needing a case.. Well?

They advertised this phone as not needing a case.. Well? I'm dying for a beautiful phone that i dont have to cover up and make bulky with a case. Mine will be here Monday..Till then, what do you guys think? Will you be using a case or not?

I thought they only advertised the HTC One S as not needing a case. And specifically, only the ceramic coated version of the HTC One S, not the blue version sold by T-Mobile here in the states.

Lies. All lies. It needs a case. Wear makes the matte finish come off and leaves shiny spots in its place. It's a lot more noticable on grey.

Its the same color all the way through, its just that the finish on top of the polycarbonate can wear off and make it shiny from what I've read.

I got the OtterBox commuter case.
yes it takes away from the pretty pretty white. but I spend months at a time in St. Kitts. If my phone is to have any chance of survival is needs a case and I was pressed for time last week (I left for st. kitts today) so I had to buy the case at the Cor store. I wanted to get the Ballistic SG case as I've had nothing but success with those and that too at 10 dollars cheaper but then I realized it might not fit right because the ATT One X is slightly taller than the HTC One X
:x
all in all the otterbox is really good and with the gel + plastic case design it seems like it'll survive a drop. Those blue and orange (figures those'd be the colors) Shell Cases they're selling don't seem like they'd do jack and at 30 bucks are possibly the biggest rip off at the store. (the store was also shocked when I showed up on thursday with the phone asking for a case, it was a special sort of envy lol)
oh and for those curious, I ended up getting the phone free of charge (true to form i'm a customer 15+years) but if you call 611 and ask politely they'll almost always give you some sort of discount on a non apple phone. it's always worth a shot

I cant wait for the day when no cases are needed. I guess i'll get one of those thin hard plastic barely there cases. Like the one below but white. they dont protect the screen from a direct hit but you normally need something pretty bulky for that. And remember keep your phone cases clean. Seen a show that said phone cases have more germs than anything we touch on a daily basis.. Everything we touch gets transfered to our phone cases. I have a white barely there case for my sensation that i throw in a bowl of bleach every few weeks for an hour or so. Cleans it up, makes it bright white again. Cant be one of those cheapo painted cases though... wont hold up!

You need a case or else your camera lens will get scratched by being laid down and slid around on surfaces

Actually, that's sort of the point of the protruding camera. By sticking out, it forces the glass off of any surface. Rather than the entire back (including camera glass) being a wear point like the iPhone, there are only two wear points on the One X. The first is at the bottom of the phone and the second is right at the lip of the camera ring.

how dirty does the white nexus 5 gets?

Hey Guys!
Currently I have the nexus 4 which is amazing but I'm going to buy the new nexus 5
in a few days.
I won't take the red because I'm a man.
My dilemma is between the black and the white nexus 5.
The truth is I like more the white nexus 5 looks.
It's way more sexy in my opinion.
The issue is,
I don't want to have a phone which all the time I'd be concerned where I put it
and if the surface is clean enough.
It's a phone!
I don't want to concern about it that much.
I'd really like to hear some feedback from white nexus 5 owners ..
please be real!
Does it gets dirty often if even?
Would you take the black if you could choose all over again?
Waiting for your feedback
all the best!
Viva la nexus

All 3 get as dirty. If you put the white one in mud and the black one in mud, they both get the same amount if bacteria and germs.
The white one may LOOK dirtier, but how can we quantify that?

Not sure they get the same dirt, also if they do it's much more visible on the white.
From what I understand,
The black is some what rubbery plastic and the white is solid plastic.
They have their slight changes like the glossy baseless on the white nexus.
My concern is if the white will look dirty and yellowish even.

Which one you have mate?

I have the white Nexus 5 and i put a case on when i'm at work but when i'm not i take it right off. To answer your question the back doesn't really get dirty if it does i give it a quick wipe with windex and all is good.

My white n5 has been in a diztronic case since I got it (on launch) & if I remove the case, it still looks brand new. I use it daily, & I have no issues. Not sure what you plan to do with your phone, but it should be fine.

Thanks for the answer.
If I'm buying the white I intend the white to show,
Currently I have the nexus 4 with official LG Bumper Case,
Meaning the back is shown.
So ... Dunno yet if i'll get a case or not for the nexus 5
but ... if I will it will probably bumper case style so the back is shown.

Got ya. Maybe get a white dbrand skin & pit it over the white back, that way white still shows & if it get dirty, then it's just the skin? I had the white galaxy nexus & the white nexus4, but those materials you could obviously wipe off dirt. This white is different, so I get the concern.

More feedback please.

If you go caseless get the black for sure. I got white so it would ship sooner and while it looks great the glossy edges are on the slippery side and not as functional as the true soft touch coating only found on the black.
If it's going in a case white works and you can even show off the back a bit. If I had known the white was missing the soft touch coating I might've waited the extra week. As it stands I use a $2 quicksand case solely for the added grip.
Dirt does not seem to be an issue either way.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

true m8 gets dirty but its kinda easy to clean, actually the one phone that stays clean and purely easy to clean it is the lumia 1020

I've had my white nexus since launch day. I have a tpu case on it but there is not a scratch on it or a sign of wear and tear. I did have to buy a new case because the original teal one was turning this funky color from my nasty hands. And I would assume it would've translated to the actual phone if I did not have a case. Of course if I did not have a case my phone would be in pieces 7x over.
PS. The red nexus is sweet I wish I had one.

I would of liked the black. Went from the 4 but I buy unlocked phones second hand this was unused but white. It's smooth which is trouble and needs to be in a case but it doesn't mark like I expected when out of one.

[Q] Case-Mate Hula Questions

Has anyone noticed that the Hula cases sold on the Case-Mate site look different from the ones on the Moto site? The secondary/accent colors on the cases at Case-Mate complement the base color, whereas the ones on the Moto site are black or grey. Can those of you who own one of these let us know where they bought theirs from and which secondary/accent color they got?
Also, how well does this case protect the front and back of the phone? Any scratches/scuffs down the back? I have the chalk (matte white) colored back so this is an obvious concern.
Thanks!

I bought mind on the motorola site, and i have the navy one. The secondary color, royal blue, complements the navy color of the bumper.
As for protection, don't expect it to help protect the back or front a lot. There is a lift when placing the phone down. If you drop the phone, it will protect the edges, but if the back or front part of it lands on rocks or debris or whatever, then you better cross your fingers nothing cracks or scratches lol

Awesome, thanks! I just placed my order. I'm biased on blue too.

I ordered the cabernet bumper to go with my chalk back/white front phone. The cabernet bumper has raspberry colored acccents but definitely did not appear that way on the website. I ended up returning the chalk back for a slate colored back so now the bumper is useless because I don't like the way it looks with the slate.

Your pictures made my color decision so much easier. LOL. I ordered the exact same color

Ordered one on 12/1 and this morning got a cancellation email as they are out of stock. Pretty lame as it was clearly in stock when I ordered...

For those that have this bumper, how easily is it put on and taking off?

The first time I put it on it felt fairly stiff to try and squeeze the phone in, and I was sure I'd never get it off again when I tried. However, if you just push one of the bottom corners off it pops out fairly easily, and after a few attempts it should slip in and out easily enough. It certainly isn't going to come off by accident at any rate.

Another Black/Navy/Blue combo with Navy Hula Case. Ordered with the Cyber Monday code.

i really wanted the white one, but it was out of stock. i ended up purchasing the teal one for my white/bamboo phone and the pink one for her black phone. IMO the pink one looks decent on the black, far better than the teal looks on my bamboo model. the light teal color looks nice, but the dark muddy teal accent color looks dingey/dirty IMO. it looks good on the screen side, but when i have it bamboo side up, i don't like it.
with the bumper i expected it to feel better in my hand, based on the reviews i read online. to me the phone feels much nicer to hold without the bumper on it. i'm not sure if it's because it makes the phone a little wider, or if it's just not as comfortable because it feels like i'm only touching the edge when i hold it now. it seems like the naked moto's ergonomics are going to be hard to beat.
i'm contemplating buying a thinner soft clear case of some sort and converting it into a bumper by removing the back with an xacto blade. seeing as i've broken 2 screens already i definitely need something on there, i don't think this bumper is it though.
edit: i added a third picture. it just dawned on me that i own a signshop and i can wrap the bumper in whatever color i feel like for the day. it took about 5 minutes to make the teal on the bamboo into white. tomorrow i'll try black or maybe a dark silver to match the bezel around the logo.

I'm using the defender and diztronic case and I like both but they both take away from my leather back

Black is in stock on case mates site! Just ordered mine.

I'm thinking of returning my x and going back to ios now for some reason

the soft bright teal on my case posted above now looks yellowed and dingy. i tried dish soap, windex, and 409. it still looked dirty, so i moved up to real chemicals. first mineral spirits, then denatured alcohol, lacquer thinner, and brake cleaner. it's better now, but the teal still looks yellowed.
has anyone found a product to clean the hula bumper?

Black is in Stock on Amazon too. Just got mine. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NR...5_QL70&keywords=case+mate+hula+moto+x+2nd+gen

hTC U11 what's your experience and durability

hey I am getting this phone in a week I selected it over s8 and iphone 7
and I would like to know your experience with it specially the durability as it failed with the bend test due to the flexible metal frame ,front and back glass
also what about the selfie shooter and battery life
I hope you share your experience with me
thanks in advance

I owned one when first released for 3 weeks. Definitely need a case to protect it but then I always use one. Battery life was average though not terrible.
Now, originally the phone was a speed demon but after awhile did become laggy much to my surprise but I have tons of apps though no game apps or Facebook loaded. I did pre-order the newer 6gb/128 version to see if that would improve, but cancelled as I await further feedback from users. I still prefer my S8+ and it doesn't lag for me to the surprise of many.

the GS8+ is 50 dollars more expensive than the 128gb 6gbram u11 here where I live that's why I am really considering it as the galaxy is poor af in multitasking and ram management
I found garry easily bends this phone so I was woundering too if there any related stuff I will own it for 2 years if it did not break xD

A phone made of glass. What a brilliant idea.

Using it for around 10 days without a case. Not enough time to judge but it's been fine. I am very careful though. Just a personal issue I have with this phone which doesn't seem to bother most people is the yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. Would have returned it because I'm particularly OCD about these things but the tint is so faint I couldn't get the customer service people to see it and if they don't see it in my particular case, I'm not getting a refund or replacement.
Btw the phone is awesome though and I wish I didn't notice or have the screen issue.

Using it for around 10 days without a case. Not enough time to judge but it's been fine. I am very careful though.

the tint issue was there with the htc 10 too due to light leak
it is not only in the bottom it is with the angle ty to change the viewing angle the tint will move with you

Mine is different. I have light bleed at the top which I can live with. What I have at the bottom is a yellow tint which gradually fades to white. OnePlus one had a similar issue and I swapped it twice before giving up on it. This is less exaggerated but unfortunately unbearable for me.

I have one for about 10 days now, and I must say it's beautiful. I use the provided HTC case with it, and the case now has lots of scratches.
I believe the phone is more slippery with the case, that without. I also think the glass is not as easily scratched as the plastic case, but it is a fingerprint magnet.
I've ordered a transparent silicone case, let's see how that is.
I don't have any light bleed or dead pixels, the cameras work perfectly, Edge Sense as well.
I really have nothing to comment regarding the performance of the phone, everything is snappy and works perfectly.
What I hate is the fact that I have the Dual-SIM version, and I always have the SIM no above the signal icon.

I think the sim issue can be fixed with systemui tuner I guess you have a chance with that

Experience is awesome, great, super happy, love this phone, extremely fast, great for the most demanding games.
Hands down the best sound ever, of any phone released today, and great for videos
Good reception even in poor areas.
Durability... not so great, not enough protection, Glass can break if not careful, will get scratched.
Poor availability of choices for Protection Cases and Screen Protectors.

I don't want to root it. Yet.

I have a good track record with phones, so I ditched the case. I do, however, have a carbon fiber skin on the back. The skin protects from finger prints, makes it easier to hold, protects the glass from scratches, and I personally thought the design isn't very good without it.
I found out that the glass is more fragile than I would have thought. When applying the skin, I had the glass face down on a glass coffee table. When I flipped it over it had various scratches. Got an IQ Shield screen protector and thankfully it hides the scratches.

I wanted to ask those using the phone. I have a black u11. When the flashlight is on I can see light at the sides where the glass meets the metal. Is this normal for all?

Nope. I don't see any light at all. Sorry.

Ah wait scratch that. Didn't want to worry anybody. I looked at it carefully and that's not the issue. I have a full body clear guard and the edges of the screen/ body film seem to be lighting up. The actual metal joint seems to be fine. Thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated.

I'm in construction and after a month of use I have ZERO scratches. I tried a few cases, but they made this phone too bulky and hid the awesomeness. Now I just have a CardNinja business card holder on the back and an otherwise nekkid solar red phone.
After a month of use it has become less slippery. I did have to turn off Edge Sense though because it kept taking photos when I was taking it out of my front pocket.
I typically run a wet cloth over the screen and back after doing anything with tons of dust and I'm good to go!
Cases, in my experience just grind the pocket dust into the phone until they create gouges.
Hope that helps,
Chad
