So the first thing I found when I bought this phone is that the camera is sticking out of the back of the phone a bit too much. It looks nice, but it gets scratched if you're addicted to wearing jeans. So I saw a spare screen protector laying around so I thought of this and just wanted to share.
Use a hole punch. Here is what I did.
1. Cut a screen protector in a strip ( not necessary its just my hole punch sucks at hole punching)
2. Punch a hole. ( if your hole punch is like mine take off the other layer of the screen protector so it actually punches a clean hole).
3. Clean up the camera and apply the protector. ( it won't fill the camera hole completely but it covers the part that the camera uses to "see" out of.
4. Enjoy a scratch free camera!
Pictures: ( the last ones are just to show that pictures still turn out fine...even with terrible resizing.)

Meh. This is my 5th HTC device, and I've never put any in a case. Just a personal preference, of course. But I think its a bit silly that so many people like to keep their phone in a case in order to keep the phone exterior in nice condition, when they never see the exterior or the phone (its always covered by the case).
If you switch devices frequently, and the objective is to keep the phone in good condition for resale, that I can see. But that is also something I've never done. I still own every smartphone I've ever bought!

yeah for me cases ruin the beauty of any phone (except for the iphone...cases actually make it look better). The reason people probably wouldn't have thought of this is because most people dont have screen protectors sitting around. The only reason i have them is because i bought the phone at Costco and they gave me 2 "universal" (aka piece of *#%) ones that i wasn't going to use anyway.

At Radio Shack you can buy the old invisible shield kits for old phones they have them marked down to .97 cents! now don't be rude and buy them all lol this will give you a few tries to cut the circle haha. Enjoy! :good:
I'd use an old stick of lip gloss to act as a stencle and try cutting out a perfect circle with an exacto knife. Alternatively, a pen cap might work.

i scratched off the matte finish on the metal cover and it revealed a very stunning undercoat. I think it looks much better. I used an expired credit card to scratch it off. do not use anything metal to scratch it off, it will leave a scratch on the undercoat.
Done on a white mt4g. i think the different colored mt4g have a darker back cover.
Also it takes a very long time to do.
Pictures were taken with flash off because it shines that much.

Looks nice. How is the texture of the undercoat? Is it slippery like the stock overcoat or is it more grippy?
it has a lot more grip but it does collect more oils from your hand
Hmmmm....I think I may do this in the next couple of days. I'm also wondering how it may turn out if I use my dremel to create a brushed look...decisions decisions.
I'm not sure if you want to do this, if u look next to you sd card theres a gold contact that touches the inside of the battery cover. So the coating my be a barrier between the metal and our hands to prevent signal issues i.e. Iphone 4 like signal issues. Anyone who's tried this confirm either way? I love the look just don't want to regret it later.
Did you just rub the edge of the card on it for hours? Because I've been doing it for a couple minutes and I don't think it's getting me anywhere.
There was a slight chip where you open the phone and i just used a credit card to dig under it. if you do it right, the paint will chip off into a fine powder

If you look on the underside of the cover, the spot on the cover which touches that contact is etched away. This is to ensure contact is made without obstruction. So there is no "barrier" between the cover and this contact. Just the opposite. My guess is that it is a ground circuit to divert static electricity. Since the cover is made of metal, this would make sense. Scratching off the outer dullcoat should not have any negative effect.

I was watching the installation video to see the coverage, and it appears that the back, top side and bottom are all separate, and w/it being black on black, it's kind of hard to see what it leaves uncovered. I don't want my phone to look ghetto fabulous, like I just patchworked this on one night after watching a fast & furious marathon drunk w/gaps on every edge.
Anyway, if anyone has, let me know. If not, I'll jump in and try it out and post photos and give my 2 cents.

That's actually one of the benefits of having all the pieces separate, the piece that would cover the metal strip is separate. I agree with you, but I plan to keep the metal strip shown, even if I have to use an exacto knife to make it happen.

I agree... And upon taking your advise, I just bought a 12"x48" sheet of it from ebay. I worked w/vinyl for several years, from custom applications made in-house to pre made applications, so I'm comfortable w/the whole process. The saddest part is, w/o your input, I probably never would've thought of it on my own!
I'm excited, now I can make it fit how I want! PLUS, it was less and I have enough, that I can customize friends phones if they like the look of it... For a modest price of course. <hehhehhehhehheh>

Ok, today I have gotten the case. It feels sturdy, fits on the sides perfectly. Despite of the site being registered in US, it arrived from "Jacky Chan" in Hong Kong (lold at that one) Took ~10 days per airmail.
The cut-outs for camera and flash + back speaker are fitting perfectly aswell, along with volume and microusb cut-out.
Only thing that was a bit weird at first was that the covering didn't fit perfectly "at once", but I guess after a while and stretching it'll fit. The cover holds though, while also giving access to power button.
I am in work atm, but I will post pictures once I get home. Stay tuned.
For ~24 USD it seems fairly usable and good-looking case, in my opinion.
THIS is the bomb! 60$ but worth it ! I have used this company's similar case for my HD2, Desire HD, AND now for the Sensation!

I think it is possible, but I am not sure whether it then wouldn't be prone to further ripping. The hard plastic ends on the bottom from where the leather-only hinge starts and there you should be able to perform a cut, while having it still stylish.
Maybe if you would finish the cut part with some sort of superglue mixed with black ink, it would fix the ripping issue.
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.

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!

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.

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]

let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

Looks like it'll protect the phone, while making it look like **** at the same damn time.
I picked one of these up. The reviews seemed really good for the iPhone and note versions

Hey, I thought someone might be interested to know that this case is at a pretty decent price of $9.85. It seems pretty cool!

To be honest I ordered the case but am concerned with the back not having a slot for the speaker

Agreed. But maybe someone here likes the way it looks. And I think it'll do a good job at protecting the glass.

I think the slit at the botton right of the picture might be for speaker.

No slit there lol.
I actually like the look and I think it will do a great job protecting this phone.
I'll keep everyone posted my estimated delivery date is DEC 6-10th

Those ugly circles are killing this choice for me. Ugh.

can anyone who ordered it (from amazon) post these qustions on the product's page? i can't since i haven't made a purchase via amazon yet.
1. is there a speaker cutout?
2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.

i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.
If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.
Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..

Possibly the uglies case I may have ever seen. But in terms of protection, it looks promising. For ten bucks I would order one right now, if Amazon would accept PayPal. Anyone know of a way to bypass?

Oo-er
These are a ballistic brand knock off. The final ballistic cases are much better bit they take a long time to come out.
