I was bored enough so here is a simple review of the Diztronic TPU case for the One X.
First impressions of it, it looks like most standard TPU cases. the one thing that really caught my eye was the matte backing and the glossy sides which imitates that of the phone how it has a matte back and glossy sides at least in the case of the grey version of the One X.

Also shown in the pics you can see the cutouts for the rear speaker, headphone jack, power rocker, volume rockers, and USB port Which with them cut out like that they are super easy to press.
Fitment wise this thing fits the ATT One X like a dream, infact the fitment is so close it does take a little pressure getting the remaining two sides of the phone into the case.
an overall back view of the case installed, the cutouts for the rear speaker and the camera's LED are perfect, the camera isn't covered up all that great but, laying it on a desk or table it doesn't hit the camera bezel.
Heres a closer look of the camera area of the case when installed, as you can see the cutout is rather big but i have yet to have the lense or the bezel make contact with what the phone is resting on.
for the final picture i opted to take one with the screen protector installed just so everyone can see how it lines up. at the top its maybe a 1mm gap at the top and bottom, the sides have 4/5mm gap side to side, which i could live with, using a wet apply screen protector with this case WILL make the sides bubble up.
Overall, I love how this case feels when it is installed, how it feels in the hand. Almost like nothing is even on the phone, it's lightweight and very minimal bulk. The screen protector is a bit lacking on the sides but with the curved glass, what can you expect. Overall a very damn good case in my opinion hope you enjoyed the review.
Thank you for your review. Mine should arrive Monday.

I thought it would help some since I didnt see an actual review of the case but the one that I had bought was this one
"Matte Back Translucent Black"
i dont like the case at all, dust tends to get under the case some how... by looking at it, its not a tight fit but oh well, this will hold until i figure out what case i should buy

I never cared to much for them either until i had my sgs2 with a incipio ngp, from there on i liked them. my normal choice for a case was otterbox but i didnt wanna put a bulky case on this slim device. so got to looking around on amazon and seen the diztronic.
Thanks for the review. I ordered two from Amazon. I've always like TPU cases, especially the ones made by Diztronic.
I had the white matte one for 3 days now. It fits perfectly just like op said. Light, beautiful.

yes please i'd love to see how this looks like in white. i hope its similar to the this one
I have been using the clear one on my white HOX as well.
It is pretty good, minimal bulk considering it is TPU and perfect fit, but it is still not as minimalistic as the official HTC clear hard case C700, but it will do the job fine till I get hold of the HTC one which fits AT&T XL phone, it will also be better because it protects the camera, the Diztronic case doesn't, or very minimal protection since it is cut outside the metal frame around the lens.
Just got mine in, color me surprised... I actually like it! This marks the very first TPU case that I don't mind having on my phone. Very slim, minimal bulk, and fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it makes the hardware buttons difficult to press but I can deal with that until something better comes along. I have like 6 other cheap cases enroute from China so we'll see when they come.
Ordered diztronic clear case on Tuesday, should be arrive on Saturday. I'm still waiting for the HTC hc v701 to be reviewed with att one x. Anyone tried it? Is it fit perfect with att model?

I really do like this case but the camera touches when it's laid on its back. Case quality is great. Dust does get behind it but since it's so easy to take off it's not a big deal. As long as you can remember to put your phone face down your fine with this case.
+1 to this case...MUCH better than the orange plastic one from HTC that I had....
Can't beat this deal off Amazon for 10 bucks
Also the clear version of this case with the white HOX looks great!
This TPU case looks nice. I am a fan of matte type of products! I just placed in my order through ebay. Thank you for sharing!
I like the case aside from the fact that its pretty fricken dirty after only 4 days. Gonna try to clean with alcohol wipes. Anybody have other suggestions?

Anyone recommend a nice durable case that offer the most overall protection, with preferably not making it bulky? And what's a nice screen protector? I'm not really rough on my phones, but stuff happens. I just want to be protected.
I came across HTCDepot.com, is that generally a nice, legit site? I came across another one like HTCSensation4gaccessories.com or something, and it doesn't seem too legit.
Thanks
Here's my setup:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=ef4f8d65c98ae0a31c33842ab6b7dec1
A great case. Offers excellent protection, nice grip, and looks cool
For a screen protector:

Excellent setup for protection and low-profile, IMO

I have the Incipio NGP. http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
This things is probably one of the best cases I've ever had as far as my uses go. It's a great fit, extremely durable, and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
My only complaint is that the cutout for the USB port is a little tight, so a lot of third party USB cables will push the case around when you plug them in. The HTC one is fine because the housing on it is nice and compact, but the bigger/more squared off housing on a lot of other cables just doesn't fit as well.
I use Ghost Armor for the screen, mainly because there's a kiosk at the mall near work, and they'll install it for me so I don't get air bubbles, etc.

This one is a lot more rigid than the one T-Mo had from what I can tell.
It has almost no flex around the edges once it's in place. The T-Mo one seemed kind of "floppy" to me.

No, it's not typical silicon case. It's much harder material and does not attract any dirt or dust. This is far more like TPU, but all the TPU cases I've seen for this phone were glossy, this has a matte finish.

CaseMate "Barely There" is the one for me.
Its wafer thin, very strong, and adds that little extra grip that the Sensation needs to stop it sliding around in your hand.
Cant reccomend it highly enough. Attached are some pics i took of it.
Doing hours of research on all diffrent types of cases i can apon the theory that case-mate are some of the best cases for the phone.. but i can across these Pop! branded hard cases and wanted to know if anyone else has one or seen one in the wild and what there thoughts are.. The case looks great, but its a heafty $34.00 for one.

I love the case, I have the black and grey version and I've been using it for just over 2 weeks now. The grey is a nice soft tactile grip and the main part of the case is a nice hard and smooth rubber compound that feels more like plastic then rubber. Fits the phone very nice, and its a dream to hold on to. But its a pain to take it out if you ever need to get access to the battery or memory card.
The only real con I found is that glossy black plastic scratches easily and shows the scratches but better the case then my phone.
Buttons are very easy to push and you don't have to struggle with them.
Now I have had one accident since I've had my case and I know it saved my phone from damage.
If there was an Otterbox Defender for out phone it would be over $60 and provide about the same protection. I'd would recommend this case.
I don't understand how people scratche their HTC!
Its the only devices that have unscratchable materials,I had an N1, DHD and now Sensation with no cases...never had any single scratches (apart the N1 screen)

If you haven't made the purchase yet, take a look at the Seidio Active case for the sensation. I've had it about a week now and it is a fantastic case. Not too much bulk, cutouts are positioned perfectly, and buttons are easily accessible. Plus I bought the one with the kick stand built in, which is a nice extra feature.

Also I have received Tough Case and Barely There Case today from case-mate.
I can say POP! case is far the best, gives the best protection.
Barely There case is even funny. It has almost no protection from dropping the phone. It just makes 1mm protection from scraches.
And the tough case is like cheaper version of POP! version. And there isn't so much gum or silicone whathever the material inside is in the tough case that it is in POP!.
POP is far the best case for me yet (from case-mate production).

Thanks!
Hey all, I saw that these became available recently. I was thinking about getting one for when I do rougher activites but was concerned about taking away from the slimness of the phone. I already have the OEM HTC matte black slim case. Anyone get this yet or have any feedback on it's build quality, size, weight and fit/finish?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-s-cases/htc-one-s-cases,default,sc.html
I am interested as well. I figure the slimness of this phone will help making any decent case that much more appealing. My friend has a case on his S2 and that thing is a BEAST.
im in the same boat. Since the phone is so small, i figured that the otterbox couldn't add that much heft to it. Now i'm anxiously waiting!!
HD2: 4.76" x 2.64" x 0.43"
One S: 5.15" x 2.56" x 0.31"
As you can see, the HD2 was pretty slim for a 4.3" phone, and the defender turns it into a 5.1" x 2.93" x 0.8" beast. It does however protect in every way possible, with lenses over the camera and flash, some sort of rubber membrane over the speakerphone, a rubber flap over the ports, a built in hard screen protector, and soft rubber stretched over strong plastic everywhere else. It comes with a belt holster that rotates and allows the phone to be securely snapped in face first, back first, or rotated 180* and functions as a dual angle kickstand in portrait or landscape. The whole thing is surprisingly light given its strength, but it had one big drawback that otterbox has hopefully resolved by now: it was far too easy to get contaminants underneath the screen protector, and once there it was very difficult to keep clean, clear, and smudge free.
Given the cost difference and my preference to go without a screen protector I'm saving for the case mate tough case, and for day to day use I'm happy with my diztronic.
For the Commuter case the dimensions on Otters site are 5.4 in x 2.81 in x 0.56 in
For the Defender Case the dimensions on Otters site are 5.48 in x 2.89 in x 0.67 in
The Dimensions for the One S: 5.15" x 2.55" x 0.31"
Both cases add size but IMO they won't make this phone a brick.
I don't have either of the otterbox cases for this phone, I do have the Ballistic though. The ballistic is most similar to the Otterbox Defender series. In my opinion the case does not not a significant amount of bulk to the phone and it still fits very comfortably in my pocket as well a stand I have on my desk. I can provide pictures of it if your are curious.

just ordered my commuter series case, had one for my evo before i switched to an HD2. I think a little bit of extra security is worth it over cosmetic appeal of slimness. Just my thoughts
Just got my commuter case this morning ill try to post some pics later tonight. This is my first otterbox case and as far as looks I really don't like how it looks, but I gues it gets the job done. The case doesn't really add to much bulk, it just as wide as my d30 case and you don't really lose to much thinness.

Commuter is good comes with a screen protecter and the inside is made of rubber and the out of some weird rough plastic, overall the case is good for any kind of drops, thickness wise its as big as an n1 with no case

Quick question, is the case 1 piece or 2 pieces that snap together to fit the phone? I can't tell and wasn't sure after looking at the website.
rubber for the cover, hard plastic for the frame, 2piece and a screen protector but fugg that it leaves a dirty imprint after u take it off
Loving my commuter case ...dropped my phone from 3 ft not a scratch anywhere on the case feels good

Has anyone picked up the Defender? I'm fairly certain that the One S is going to be my next phone but I work construction currently and that can be pretty hard on phones (Actually, my Milestone/Droid held up very well...Desire Z not so much). The two threads in the main forum about the screen breaking easily are worrying me a bit and an Otterbox is going to be a necessity here.
Is the Defender THAT much bigger than the Commuter? And apart from the clip, is it really that much more durable? I've checked the site and read what's there, but looking for real world experience from users (of both the One S and previous phones here).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi. I'm searching for something like the C740 but for the One X. I know about the Rock Quicksand, but sadly, this isn't available in Austria.
Any ideas? thanks much

Nice, I like the Barely There Case very much, although the camera protection could be improved. Thanks kontra!
Btw. I don't get why HTC won't produce a case like the C740 for the One X? Those buyers are probably their best customers.

No problem. I have the Spigen case so I can't say much about the Case Mate one. The opening for the camera on the Spigen sticks out a bit more so it offers some protection to the lens.
There's a trade off between the two. The case mate fits better but you lose out on lens protection. There's a small gap on the top left and right when I have the Spigen on the phone and the cutout for the flash is misaligned but the case feels really good in your hands and the flash doesn't seem to be affected.
Another option is this which is similar to the case mate.

On a side note: Having to wait 2 minutes before I can edit my post is really lame...
Here's a thread on the case-mate. There are pictures too of my own HOX sporting a Barely-There (let me know if the pics are broken...I'm at work and I can't see them).

I've been using this for about a week now and am quite happy with it. I used Nillkin minimal cases on my last 2 phones and this one seems to offer A LITTLE bit more coverage. More than the Case-Mate as well. The edges don.t raise higher than the screen though so a screen protector is a must (one comes with it). Ill share pics if youd like.

Thanks stnguyen, looks like you got the case mate for a while now, are you happy so far?
Also, this might be a though question to answer, but do you folks by any chance know of a leader case that might fit the HOX while wearing one of these hardshells?
Think I'm gonna get the Incipio Feather since it gives the best edge protection and it also seems to be made of the same (kinda) material as the C740, which has a really nice feel to it.
Btw, some additional options I found (sorry, not allowed to post links):
* Krusell ColorCover (not enough edge protection)
* Twins Shield Mesh (not enough edge protection and I don't know about the material)
Imo the best slim hard case is the Amzer shellster. I have that and the barely there. They are almost exactly the same except the shellster covers the camera very nicely. Lemme know if you want pics

I got a leather case from best buy. Fits a little snug but works.

Hi. I'm searching for something like the C740 but for the One X. I know about the Rock Quicksand, but sadly, this isn't available in Austria.
Any ideas? thanks much

I'm happy with it. I kinda forget it on there half the time. I haven't dropped my phone or anything so I can't comment on impact resistance.

Stay away from the Incipio Feather. Here is what they claim the cutout for the USB port looks like:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is NOT what the actual case look slike. There is a little strip of plastic running at the top of the USB port cutout which prevents the USB cable from securely plugging into the port.
This is a real PITA and a shame, I am sending the case back to Incipio. I can't understand why the actual design does not match what they sent me, I just ordered a week ago. Perhaps they are selling off old stock, buyer beware!
None of my plugs have a problem snapping into place.
Does anybody know if the spigen case in white matches the white on the HOX? Reason I ask is because I have the white speck case, and it doesn't match at all so I never use it. It's just one of those things that bother me...

Matches very well.
You kinda sound like me. While the color of the Spigen case looks close to the white on the HOX, the fitment isn't great. It bugs me and I know it'll bug you. Lol.

False info here the cutouts are fine and work perfectly. This case is my daily driver and I love it.

You've got some really dry hands.
I saw the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy S4. I read that there were some issues with previous versions of it for the S3. I was just wondering since some of you guys have one... Does it protect well? It just seems that it wouldn't protect the phone well enough. Also are the buttons too sensitive?
How does it feel? Is the back of the case have more of a plastic feel or rubbery feel to it? And is it worth the $30?
One more thing... I read that tempered glass screen protectors are good. I saw that they were about $30 and I don't really know. Are the normal plastic ones okay?
Thanks.
I have it and LOVE it

Could you explain why?
I had the yellow neo hybrid case and returned it to amazon after ten days. The auxiliary cord in my car wouldn't fit, it was rather blocky feeling in my hand (I'm a male with normal sized hands). The main thing that made me return it was the chipping of the glossy coat after ten days, and I have NEVER misused or dropped my phone.
It looks awesome, however.
I decided to just get UAG, probably going to be better for my needs than the neo hybrid was.

I have it and I hate it (especially for $30)
Buttons are extremely easy to push. Whenever I am taking it out of my pocket (business slacks) I always end up pressing buttons. It makes the phone uncomfortable to use. I kind of got used to it but after switching to a tpu case that has rounded corners you don't miss the neo hybrid in your hands. The back feels like matte rubber not grippy at all. I never dropped my phone in this case so don't know how it would hold up. The incompatibility with most micro usb cables pissed me off too.
With that said it does look good I actually had a few people ask what kind of phone that was and complimented the case. I like having my phone feel safe in my hand more than looks I suppose so I haven't used it in a few weeks
Ive had it in my cart for a few days now and cant decide if I should get it or not, 30 bucks isnt too bad but I already paid that for my sview case and I dont want to have one or the other laying around but man it looks nice as hell
absolutely love mine. I use it with the Glast.r (however you spell it lol, it's late) and one of their aluminum home button pieces. Such a nice setup imo.

got it and i love it also got a cheap knockoff on ebay from china for cheap but the quality isnt there although it works. The Spigen works great if your looking for a cool protective case for your S4.
obviously if you drop it from a few stories it might not protect your phone as a otterbox but you get style and just everyday protection. You have to ask yourself what kinda protection you want for your new device and how prone you are abusing it.
I love mine cause the buttons are easier to press and it adds a certain weight to the phone I thought the s4 was too light. Plus the jellybean buttons feel awesome. Only thing though makes it look like an iPhone! Ain't nobody got time to be an iSheep!

i have both a slim armor and neo hybrid. imo the neo hybrid with a tempered glass solution (mine is MIME) and an aluminum button is pure class. i thought i'd switch between the two cases but I have a feeling my slim armor is just gonna sit around and not get used
Looks and build quality wise the Sgp Neo Hybrid is stunning - no excess material anywhere and an excellent fit. But ergonomics and protection wise it is not so good. There is barely any lip to speak of and the main camera lens is only about 1mm away from the surface you place your phone on. The squared off design also makes the phone uncomfortable to hold. I have slung mine in a drawer and am using a UAG case which although not finished as well seems much better for protection. I do not think the Sgp case is worth 30 dollars when you can pick up a UAG case (including a screen protector) for only 5 dollars more.

My friend got one, and he thinks is pretty awesome tho there is a big problem with the aux connection for bigger aux-cabels
I love mine, the onl down side is I had to buy a different dock because the oem samsung wouldnt work with the case. Its ok though cause I got a sweet one from Rok Form that adjusts to any case. Ive had it for 3 weeks now and no chips or anything so if people say theirs chipped its because they dropped it. 30.00......worth it.
