Ok so I know it has been talked about but I would like to know if anyone has tried to make one. Just did a quick search and those sim covers are quite pricey. ~$20 being the cheapest on eBay. Any ideas? I saw the ONLY case with it built in but that is also pricey ~$30
Thanks

Then you could also throw in against a wall and it would be fine I just want a slim phone now. I've been running the OB Defender on my iPhone 4 and its like a brick. I may be picking up that case with the kickstand built in that has been talked about in the case thread but I think it would be awesome to custom fab a stand in the sim door.

Seriously? Because ONE phone out of hundreds builds in a kickstand it should become the norm? LOL.
Really tho, It's not something I think most people want to add bulk to their case for. Sure there's a market for it, but not enough to justify most making it. There are tons of pocket stands (even some that fold up into a credit card) available on eBay. I don't regularly sit in front of my 4" phone to watch things long enough to warrant having a stand, tho.

Agreed however when you get an "updated" version of a phone that has a kickstand it's kind of a bummer when it's not an option. I can honestly say i've never really had the need for a kickstand but having it available is definitely a nice thing.
These are the folks who make the Platinum cases for Best Buy. Had one on my Captivate. Loved it! Easy on and off. Now available for the SR.
Maybe I can figure out how to buy myself one for Christmas.

It's a European model and not in warranty .... I have no plans to buy another mobile for next year.
what a shame HTC, i bought this phone for better build and this is what i get....?
Here is how it looks

Happened to mine as well, and a lot of other people. I contacted HTC by email through their site and told them the letters and the ring around the camera fell off and was very displeased in their build quality. They gave me a new one.

They are a sticker material on the aluminum which gives them a different color than the rest of the metal.
Just warning you guys... Put a transparent rounded small tape on the letters... You could be next victims...
My set is not in warranty... It was imported from Europe... i am in Asia... Do you think Asian guys will exchange it for me for free?
...or put a light coat of clear varnish (or even clear nail polish) over them.
Asian guys might do it for free, Just ask.
Good luck.

Looks like it's time to buy a case. :x
Not a issue for the Sensation XE, There left dull to go with the rest off the phone =)
the picture is not so clear but, I actually think it looks pretty cool like that.
from the pic it makes it look like there is strips of carbon fiber pieces underneath...
anyway, you said no warranty but have you tried contacting HTC anyway?
maybe they'll hook you up regardless since the product is less then a year old.
if not, look at it this way... you now have a one of a kind, limited edition back cover.

I want to hear the opinion of those which are already using this version of HOS. Are there any problems regarding the construction (quality build) of the product? So far, the only major issue is related to the fact that is slippery but you can solve that with a nice protective cover.

To me the only issue is that the phone is so damn sexy I take it out of my pocket much more often so the chance of dropping it increases as well. And I am using the clear hard shell case which does not cover top and bottom.
I think this is a known issue of the phone design.
Seriously, there is no real issue of the phone apart from as you mentioned quite slippery without case.

Hmm using it more and more without sweaty hands I also can confirm that it's quite slippery. But this feeling is also quite lovely! Since I really hate cases cause they hide the beautiful design and make each phone look the same, I certainly have to think about a solution...

I got a very similar case but with Andy on the back. I'm looking for a case with a transparent back so I can show off the sexy backside.
Sent from the (problematic?) One S.
The only issue I have is the radio. My signal jumps up and down constantly in areas where I never had issues. Many others are having the same issues. They're also experiencing wifi issues.
Sense 4.0 is nice and definitely an improvement over previous version but it's still a pain to change settings and stuff. I'm rocking the Apex Launcher right now and it's great.
The hardware is sleek and sexy, and it speak for itself.
Sent from the (problematic?) One S.
Yes, apart from known software issues which exist on both black and grey one s, such as data connection and WiFi, the build quality is very good.
I have 4 cases already... One official clear hard shell, one cheap solid black tpu, one clear white tpu, and one clear s line tpu which the seller wrongly sent to me. So still waiting for my fifth case which is a plain clear tpu I actually ordered from the last seller. He did not want the s line back cos the postage costs half of the case price.
I personally don't mind case, but i do agree that hiding the beauty of the phone is a crime! so, I tried different clear case. Hope the coming plain clear tpu ordered from eBay UK is the best answer.

Received the replacement case on Saturday. However, it is not absolutely clear... It is white clear, yea the base colour is white but gives some transparency.
Not very pleased but did not bother going back to seller cos only paid 99 pence and for two cases with a sock.
Seems like the hunting of a clear transparent case is still ongoing.
By the way, I went to the Chinese eBay alike website to see what offered there. No different from what we have in UK eBay and amazon. Given the fact that most of the case is manufactured in China, I have to wait for either they pick up or a local English brand to come up with something nice.

ATTN All TMOUS HTC ONE S Owners-- If you have been looking for a T-Mobile black housing to replace your stock Grey/Blue housing, I've got some good news for you!
http://www.etradesupply.com/htc-one-s-rear-housing-t-mobile.html
Choose the black color, and scroll through the pics, and you can see that just like the stock t-mobile housing, it is missing the bottom part, which means it will be a quick replacement. Good luck
There is a thread here somewhere that has instructions and links to all parts needed to convert your T-Mobile HTC One S into the black MOA version.

correct, but that is using the EU black housing. This is the T-Mobile black housing, so you don't need to make any modifications to the housing itself. Regardless, I was just trying to help people out.

Of course black is out of stock.

don't think they are unique-- but I agree with you on the point about bottom/front of phone will still be blue, but I want to try out the black housing to see how it is, then maybe order the mid-frame component.. although it will be a lot of work to completely take the phone apart.
UPDATE: got the housing today, but it was damaged-- dented in the top and middle, so I have to talk to them to see if I can return. sad, sad day
