No, problem. Did you get one too?

I was looking into getting one, but I just got this one for my birthday recently from my girlfriend.

Ah that does look much nicer.

Yeah, I like it. It's almost otterbox protection but not bulky. I may buy one for her if they have one on sale for the Inspire.

hey mate, just be careful - I picked that up at ATT last week, and a small piece of dust got in it and scratched the heck out of my infuse. I decided to scrap the case and went for a fullbody Naked Shield instead...

Thanks for the heads up!

Bulky, yes... 3 weeks ago me and Infuse were playing hide and go seek... I had to go, Infuse wins, can not find it. At 30 mph, I find the Infuse, in my rear-view mirror, tumbling down the street trying it hardest to catch up to me. I knew the phone was toast, I turned around with a slight tear in the left eye... The Body Glove case took a beating, each corner has road rash, but not a scratch on the Infuse. Hollywood couldn't have written that script and be believable. Maybe it was sheer luck, but Bulky Body Glove case FTW.

None here at the store near me
Then again, I have 4 cases including the HC Ballistic.

So i got it today. I dont like it.

I got mine a week or so ago for my infuse. Paid 5.00 for the body glove and its not bad, hell its only 5 bucks. I hated the naked shield, it made the phone feel rough around the edges. I peeled it off a day or to after I got it.

Broke my s3 yesterday...

Damn thing fell from my pocket, landed on its side and broke the LCD. The glass screen is fine, and everything works, boots up okay, just the LCD. Usually I keep my phone in an otter box. The otter box protected the s3 when it slid off the seat and flew out of my jeep on the freeway and bounced across the concrete at 55mph. I didn't think about putting it back in its case when I went down to clean the shop with the misses and the damn thing met its maker from 4' off the concrete.
Insurance is sending another one and I'm out $100 but the worst part is I have to use my wife's old Samsung fascinate like some kind of ****ing Neanderthal. Ugh...

Nooooooo! Another one bites the dust.

That first story is crazy lol. I can imagine a phone surviving a fall like that , but how the heck do you find the phone after falling on the freeway?

It was still in the middle of the road.
No top, no doors on the heep. Sweeping left hand turn. Thing was sitting on the passenger seat, plugged in to the stereo. I went around the turn, saw it start to slip, reached down to grab it, ended up grabbing the cord and the cord popped out. Out the side she went!
I watched in horror in the rear view mirror the tumbles, flips, etc that the phone took. It was in the otterbox, in its holster as well when it hit the pavement. In the mirror, I watched it come apart in pieces. My heart sunk... That was it I thought.
I pulled off the road, and walked back. It was ~6am on a Saturday, I was on my way out to the bush to go hunt. The first piece was the clip to the holster... Then the holster... Then the phone itself lying face down. Ughhh
The rubber cover was peeled back from the phone. The hard plastic holster was mangled from hitting the pavement so many times. The rubber outside of the otterbox was pretty well scraped up too. I had to use my thumbnail to remove chunks of rocks from the rubber.
I could imagine the phone surviving that and didn't want to hit the button to unlock it. I walked all the way back to the heep before deciding to try it. I hit the home button and sure as ****, screen came on. Everything worked! There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Honestly, I was shocked. I just watched this thing tumble, flip, roll, bounce over and over again, and it still works?
I went about my day, came home, told the story to my better half. She was shocked. We weren't sure about spending the money on the otterbox in the first place. The next day, I called otterbox and told them the story, just like I'm telling you. I also sent them an email with the pictures of the mangled holster, the scrapes on the soft rubber shell and the scratch in the screen cover. You know what she told me?
"Your otterbox is under warranty. I'd like to send you a new one. Would you like a different color this time?"
You've got to be ****ing kidding me.
They shipped me out a brand new, white otterbox to replace my scratched fell out the door of the heep on the freeway at 55mph cause I'm a moron black case. I didn't know anyone did business like that anymore.
So here I have two otter boxes. One mangled, but still functional. One brand new in their glacier color. The old mangled black one gets used for hunting and fishing, down in the shop when I'm working. The white one gets used when we go to town or anytime the phone won't be in harms way.
I'd been having a charging problem lately. ****in thing won't charge for ****. On a fresh battery pull, it'll charge no problem but any time on the battery and you plug it in, it's super slow. There's no wake lock or anything keeping the CPUs high according to bbs so I'm not sure what the issue is. I had just pulled the battery when the misses and I decided to go down and clean the shop.
First thing I pick up. Pulls down the front pocket of my jacket where the phone is sitting and.. You know the rest.

Sorry to hear that. Mine never comes out the otterbox. ...ever... best money I have ever spent

Which Otterbox did you have? Sounds like the defender since you mentioned the clip, but I'm just curious as I have the commuter. I haven't anything to really test out its capabilities yet.

Thanks for sharing that rather unique story.
Perhaps you might consider some sort of automobile mount for the phone, since you mentioned driving a car with no doors? No sense tempting fate again, I figure.

I tripped coming up my front steps and my S3 flew out of the breast pocket of my shirt. Corner of the phone hit my concrete stoop and it did a flip or two before ending up face down.
It bent the corner of the metal case a little and it has a few scrapes but otherwise it's fine. Nothing but an Invisible Shield on the screen. And that's all it'll ever have on it. Can't stand the bulk of cases like that.

I read some comments that an Arkon mobile mount for the Galaxy Note can accommodate a Galaxy S III in the Defender case. The nice iBolt mount can only handle a GS3 with the Commuter case.

Amzer Shellster - Do Not Buy!

Do not buy the Amzer Shellster set for the One S or for anything else.
It is not secure and does not have a latch. Under a somewhat tight jacket my One S slipped out last night onto the rainy streets of NYC. It happened a couple of times in the past but those times I realized it right away. This time I didn't notice it was gone untill I got to my car many blocks away in a down pour. At that point I figured the phone was gone, either picked up or soaked. I got VERY lucky and called it a few minutes later. Someone actually answered and met me. I gave him $50 to thank him for his honesty. I got lucky and am no longer using the Shellster. I would suggest that nobody use the Amster Shellster.
Just ordered a Seido combo.

So the case itself is excellent. It maintains the thinness of the profile while offering great protection to the sides, corners and even the front edges if the phone lands face down on a flat surface. My phone has hit the ground about 5 times since June with zero damage BUT the fact that it easily slips out of the holster and cause loss of the phone is unforgivable.
Amster: Shame on you!

After reading your post I went and looked at the case, from the available images online it's clear that the holster isn't up to the job, I would not have bought it in the first place. However if I were you I would be contacting Amser and letting them know about the phone falling out, it may be that they have an updated holster that they can replace yours with.

Thanks for your comments. So the big draw for me was the face-in design and the holster. While there are plenty of holsters, the only face-in I could find early on was the Amzer and the Otter. The problem I still have with the Otter is the added bulk. Part of the HOS beauty is the thinness. I actually started out by felt lining my old Droid X holster to accommodate for the thinner HOS body and that worked fine except that I had to keep the phone naked which is not a good idea.
I await the Seido. The latch design is very similar to the Droid X but it looks like the latch is better placed. Time will tell.

Use your pocket. Holsters suck

I can understand the desire for a slim design but it has to be fit for purpose. I chose the Otterbox and am happy I did, the phone is a very secure fit in the holster. I read up on the Seidio first but there seem to be issues with the holster clip marking the case.
As for using your pocket as suggested above, my phone wouldn't last a week in my pocket, too many sharp objects.

My phone just fell perfectly face down from 5 feet...

My heart began to race as I picked it up, wondering what was going to meet me on the other side. I flip it over...
And it's still scratch less. Wow

That's so perfect. I don't want it to happen to my phone just to prove, but you can attest to durability of HTC One.

Yes, this phone is alot tougher than it looks (and it looks pretty tough) lol. I dropped mine on asphalt from about six feet about an hour after buying it and it landed facedown. No case, no screen protector. No scratches and no dings in the metal. HTC would never warranty their screen for six months unless they were damn sure it wasn't going to break easily. Especially since they are in financial hardship already. It's a big risk. Thankfully, this phone is tough as nails. Not like the S4. I broke three s4 screens in less than a year.

Dropped mine within 24 hours of purchase when it slipped out of my gym shorts exiting the car. Had one minor scuff on the top but a nice small scratch on the back. i was so mad, went and bought a case for it asap.
Consider yourself lucky.

Perfectly. It wasn't a big drop, just shows how easily the back can be scuffed.

Dropped mine at the gym too and wasn't so lucky. Glass shattered. My new case was sitting on my porch for me when I got home so I was about 30 min from getting it when it fell. Called HTC and they sent me a new phone overnight. I'm so lucky they have the 6 month glass warranty. I didn't even consider it when buying the phone, but now I'll buy HTC every time if they keep this warranty going.

Dropped mine on concrete from about 4 feet flat on its back. Not a scratch. Glad HTC is still building quality rock solid devices. I still put a spigen slim armor or tpu case on it though. This phone is so smooth that I know I'm going to drop it eventually

Did the exact same thing but getting into the car from the gym - this is one slippery phone. It bounced a few times on the pavement which is not smooth. The left corners are both scuffed up but the screen does not have a scratch on it. No case on it at the time - I only use the case while biking as I have broke too many phones on the MTB.

I was riding my bike over a bridge and heard a *thud* behind me, felt my pocket and phone was gone, looked back and there it was sitting face-down on the bridge lol. Went and picked it up and not a scratch!! Man I love this thing.

So you did the HTC Advantage route? I was curious about that. How exactly does it work? Do you have to send your device to HTC and have them fix it? Or do they just send you a new device?

this phone is tough

So I lost my phone out of my pocket while riding my bike. Sprinting approx 40km up a hill. It jumped out, hit the road. And slid into the bushes. Front of the phone looks new back has some pretty bad scratches. But everything is pretty much fine. No dents no marks on screen. Was in a dot view case. A few scratches on the case and they instantly separated when impacting the ground, which kind of sucked.

That's funny because this feels like the most fragile android I've owned in 5 years. Mainly because my first one lived in my pocket but the camera still managed to get scratched to the point to where it was hard to find a spot on it that wasn't scratched. Now I don't feel comfortable carrying my phone at work. I carried my s4 everywhere with me for a year and not one scratch on the camera lens. This is my first phone with a screen protector on the camera lens.

That is why I have an otter box and a really expensive, tough screen protector. If you're planning on biking with your phone loose in your pocket, you may want to invest in those also!

ya the dot view case is cool but hardly serves the purpose of an actual case.

Should be a criminal offense to use a case for this phone.
Try and get a pair of arms not growing out of one's behind so the droppage is minimized.

Cases actually assist this phone in other ways than just protection. For one, they make the touchscreen less susceptible to undesired palm touches when using it one handed, and can hide the loose volume rocker issue many people have.

The trick is to get a clear case. That's what I did. Didn't want to cover up all that arctic silvery goodness. :good:
Oh, that and not to drop it....

I would suggest getting a case like this for biking.

The phone is no longer slippery and won't fly out of your pocket.
I use it for mountain biking and it stays put no matter where I put the phone (shorts pocket, back of jersey, etc.)

I agree on the camera screen. Mine has a couple scratches as well. Never had any other phone do that. However the rest of the phone is scratch free which is even more strange. What protector are you using on the camera screen? I think I'm going to get HTC to fix it then apply a protector to it.

I thought I had a ton of scratches on my lens,I would wipe it off with a soft cloth and they wouldn't wipe off. Well today while sitting bored I just took my sleeve and rubbed with some pressure for a good 5 minutes. All those marks that looked like scratches all came of . Might try some alcohol on a qtip when I get home.

going back to the original op issue. I use the dot case when not biking and I use a otter box defender case mounted to the handle bars when riding. So far the otter box works very nice and does not come off on the bike ride. It takes around a minute to put the phone in the case every ride, but nothing to long.
one added bonus about the mounted otter box and m8. When listing to a talk podcast I sometimes do not use headphones, the speakers are plenty loud.
