Hi guys,
Got my hands on the CandyShell Grip case, from Speck at my local AT&T store. This is a one-piece hybrid style case that incorporates silicone and plastic in one. So while you get a sleeker case (since it's not 2 pieces) while obtaining the benefits of both materials. It's pretty simple to put on, and I love the look - but removing this case is very, very difficult.
Check out the full review below:
Are you going to review the Ballistic Case for HTC One X? I need to know if it will fit my AT&T One X perfectly.

Unfortunately I don't have my One X anymore, it was my uncle's who doesn't live in the country. He let me use it for a couple of weeks and I took the time to post up some reviews, sorry!
If I do hear anything regarding the case and AT&T model fitment, I'll post on here.
As an fyi: the reason the openings appear to not line up is because the international model is a different size. Putting the case on was definitely more laboured and the speaker and charger ports line up perfectly as does the camera. My one complaint is still the power key. The volume keys seem fine but the power key is a *****.
Great review. Definitely loving this case so far.

Can you please post instructions or a video on how to remove this case. I have one and tired to remove it but I felt like I was going to break my phone.

Pinch the sides of your phone and push against the black silicone parts on the case. Not only are they there for protection, but since it is a thin layer of material, your fingers will put pressure on the One X and pop it out. Let me know if that helps.

I find that bending the case on the upper right corner makes for easy phone removal.
Thanks Ploone and gunnyman. Got it out.

I don't think that case was made for that phone. The openings look way off, must be made for the other version of the HOX
Huh? All my port holes line up perfectly.

The phone in the video is the internAtional I believe.
I have this case for my phone and the grip/ design looks awesome on my one x. The buttons are hard as hell to push like he was saying and its a pain to take the case off. But having used it a few days it definitely works well protecting my white one x.
I never really drop my phones and prefer to use them naked. Especially cause how sexy the one x is. But the case is slim and for those considering buying, definitely don't hesitate

I got this case included with a used HOX that I scored off Cl today. Decent case, but I wouldn't recommend it highly.
This case is awesome, but it's ruining my Zagg Invisible Shield at the bottom by the back/home/multitask buttons. By ruining I mean causing it to bubble up.
Is this happening to anyone else?

Is this, like their tough case, two pieces that fit into each other?
On the web page, they make it seem like they have formed the two plastics of this case into one piece but I can't tell.
I think its still two piece. I vote white!

It is one piece made of two materials(hard rubberand plastic) and it does not have two layers,so it is very and I mean very difficult to put it on the phone and take it off.It id also easy to scratch because plastic is high gloss.i had it on Desire HD and swap it for Tough which offers much better protection.But I have to admit that Pop is looker
just ordered a white one today
Couple questions about this case.
1: Is the inner layer on this like soft sillicone?
(I'm not liking the harder material that TPU is on my phone. I can tell its wearing on the front corners and making the matte finish to be shiny.)
2: The only hole that im worried about is the one above the camera and it seems to be covered. Is this hole actually anything to worry about?
(They are all just mounting points for antenna contacts, but the one above the camera is the only one that leads to a hole in the phone housing.)
3: Can anyone post pictures of this yet?
Looks pretty sweet, Someone post some pictures once you receive it.

Yup I was in the same predicament and I went with the case-mate barely there. I love the case. I went white on white. I don't need super protection but just want to protect from scratches and getting dirty.

i just noticed that incipio one covers more edges. so i think i am more leaning toward this...
Good to see they finally got them out, but im not sure if I would pick it up our not. When I had my SGS II I loved my NGP that I had on it, right now im rocking the diztronic tpu which is almost the same exact setup as the NGP.

From the pictures on the site, the feather looks exactly the same except the bottom part looks like it wraps around a bit further and the top has an extra piece that covers the middle section between the headphone jack and the power button.
Just ordered a feather. Will report back when I get it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Just got my feather in and I can tell you that there is a reason they don't show you what it looks like directly from the front. The case is much thicker than they would lead you to believe and is pretty damn ugly when it's on. I will never use this case.
^dang sorry to hear that
Well Im going get mine in the mail soon so I guess I know what to expect

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

Edit: Just purchased the Black Feather for my white HOX
I bought the Incipio feather in gray for my white HOX and I like the grippy/rubbery feel to the back. It's not my favorite case but I can definitely see me rocking it from time to time.
Really like that case waljie.

They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).
I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.

Thanks in advance!
Had it. Returned it.
Offers no protection and makes the phone very slippery.
Got it for $15. Not worth it. Definitely not worth it at $30.
All imo of course.

How ridiculous of HTC to release such a flimsy case for such an expensive price. I saw a picture of this case snapped in half quite easily.
Clearly someone at HTC was playing a joke, I mean blue and orange? $30? I feel like they're virtually feeding us crazy pills.

I like mine and use it when not at work. I work out in the field and use the best buy case and holster combo. It's nice when going out to dinner and showing off the great design of the one x. FYI that link is for the one x and not for the att or rogers(xl) version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I realize now that this is a slightly different case than the one I was mentioning. This is the official case for the international One X. I don't know if this is quite as flimsy as the one for the One XL, but it probably wouldn't fit on the XL anyways. Could anyone confirm this? i'm interested in grabbing the white one for my fancy times.
The white one reminds me of a golf ball.. but they should've kept this pattern for the US version instead of the stripe/bar pattern we got.
I can't vouch for that one specifically. I do have the HC 700 for my XL though. Unfortunately since I'm a new user it won't let me link it, but you can find it on the site you found that one under the HC 700 model number.
It's for the International version but I decided to give it a shot for my phone. It does fit, just not perfectly. You can feel a little(barely) flex in it if you press down on the back of the phone's edges. The camera lens also doesn't line up completely but luckily the flash is not covered and the lens is not covered, just a little of the ring around the lens gets obscured by the case. Same thing goes with the hole for the speaker, it just barely comes up to the point where the holes for the speaker are but it doesn't cover them, but it does leave a larger gap at the top of the speaker holes. None of the buttons or input/output jacks are affected though. Since that is a similar case I'm sure the results would be similar.
I primarily got the case to keep the back of my White One X(L) from getting scratched, so far it's doing its job so I can't really complain too much about the minor alignment issues.
Yes,also know this case from other forums that it's don't do good protection..
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

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.
I have looked high and low for a case that is durable, thin(not the ultra thin ones), but isn't silicon. Anyone using something like this? I need it to be able to slide in and out of my pocket fairly easily. (Hence why I'm avoiding silicon cases) If there's one that does this and covers the volume rocker as well as keeps the phone from laying on the screen or camera, I'd have all my wants met.
Preferably matte black, if I can have it. Thanks!
I am on the same hunt also. Narrowed it down to the silicrylic and ballistic SG. I like the sleekness of the silicrylic, but the robustness and confidence I can have with the ballistic is tempting.

Platinum case from bestbuy.
Sent from my HTC One XL
Seidio surface case. Same thing as the platinum. People complain about the button covers breaking but mine have not snagged on anything nor do I feel they are flimsy. In order to break them you would need to have the mind of a two year old that's on a mission to break things.
I'm not allowed to post links yet, but go to incipio's website and if you go to smart phone cases > htc > htc one x(att) there are a couple cases there. The feather and feather shine are very thin and pretty good looking. I'd recommend the normal feather(black one). I had both but the black one is more durable. The shine one looks really slick, but the corners of the case that line up with the corners of the phone ended up breaking after a month or two. The other one should fair better because it isn't made of out the same plastic material.
Thanks for the replies. I had also looked at the silicryllic and ballistic. Thinking along the lines of one of those. Not sure if I want something that makes the phone huge(er) in the hand than it already is Haha.
check out the Nillkin TPU case... This is the best case I have ever found for a phone. Love the thinness and matte look/feel. Keeps the sexyness to the phone and also has a nice lip for the camers (something that I have yet to find on a thin case for this phone. Will never buy another case for this phone again...

I clicked this thread by mistake, but as the case i use on my One X is compatible with One XL i would recomend you the Momax iCase Pro it is made of TPU+Polycarbonate it doesn't add much bulk to the phone while giving very decent protection, the case protudes a bit on the top and bottom to avoid the screen hitting the floor first, it protudes on the back around the camera and overall its a tight fit and feels very well in the hand, slides in the pocket nicely too!

It's not like the phones are that diferent, its only 0,4mm not 4mm. If you see around there are a lot of cases which are compatible with both phones the One X and the XL and i can't see why are you making such a big deal out of this, if the case doesn't fit on his XL he can always return it.
