I am a case junky. Just got this case. Best case I have seen for our phone. Way cooler looking, nice lip for front of phone to keep glass off surface, and for that typepf case, it fits better than otterbox, and Trident, while having a slimmer footprint. EXCELLENT case
What other cases do you have or used? I currently have the Seidio Surface (W/O kickstand) and offcial HTC case from AT&T.
I'm looking for a little bit thicker case than the HTC one. Can't choose between Case Mat Barely There or Incpipio Feather. Might just buy both
In ordered mine a week ago. It's sitting at my house waiting for me. Can't wait till I get back home on friday to check it out! It looks slick as hell.

We'll its an identical case I think, it's just metallic. The pictures look incredibly sexy and I'm hoping it looks as nice in person as it does in the pictures because then it will become the new king of cases. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Same brand as silicrylic, although if I'm not mistaken, the Shine has a hard back case, as opposed to the 'strange' feeling back of the Silicrylic Dual.
To those rockin the official HTC one from ATT, have you noticed some strange markings on the back of the phone (White version) where the case doesn't cover? My white one has darker lines from where the blue case doesn't cover.
@MetalHead What are your top favorite cases?

Anyone have the HTC Gel Skin? I've looked around for reviews but haven't seen anyone cover this to my liking.
I specifically would like to know about the power button. I had bad luck with the power button on the Seidio Surface Case so I'm worried about pulling the trigger on another case.

I returned it as soon as I got it in the mail. Very flimsy. Not worth the 25...
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I video link took me to youtube front page. And the case looks so flimsy. You can find better on ebay. And cheaper.
I have the black one. Got it from att for $15.
It's your typical silicone case. Covers the phone well. Camera is protected.
But boy, this thing is an absolute lent and dust and you name it magnet. I know the black doesn't help since you can see everything but my goodness.
It feels good in the hands however. Definitely not worth $30. $15 is a bit much also but I will continue using it until I get a barely there case or something else comes out.
I have full body ghost Armor and may not even use a case at all.

Super cheap, looks decent and has already protected the backing from a couple of dicey falls.
Just walked out of best buy with the Pt (Seidio) Surface case and I really like it! I'll post a review in a couple days but I can already tell this is going to become my daily case from here on out (at least until my Incipio Silicrylic comes in a few days lol). I really like the way they did the power and volume buttons, makes them really easy to press. Plus, it came with a really nice holster. $35 + tax. Man I really need to stop buying cases.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I had that case too in white. I found the front part of the case covered too much of the sides of the screen taking away from the nice design of the phone. It also felt a little waxy to me. Other then that it did provide good protection and it was one of the few all white cases out.

I think I have the same one (black/grey color). I actually like the waxy feel of it. To me, it's similar to the feel of the phone's matte texture on the back, so it almost feels like there is no case on it. It's thin and light, but still sinks in the camera a little. The easy-pressing-ness of the buttons is also a huge plus. I really like it!
There is a video review for the case on HTC Pedia, if you want to check it out:

Is this the same case sold online by seidio?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Appears a bit thick that case. Assume it offers good protection though.
The only issue I have with my Diztronic is that there is no back camera/raised section to protect the lens and flash. You set it down, the camera is right on the surface, stupid design that is an easy fix they chose not to do.
I ordered a Nillsen off ebay and am going to give that one a try, it is basically the same TPU with protection for the camera/flash and some rough edges to grip.
Got mine today. Extremely impressed with it , and that's coming from someone who goes through tons of cases.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I don't think anything can ever take me away from the nillkin TPU case. I am so impressed with it. I love the matte backside and how it does not leave fingerprints, the grips on the side and most importantly the camera protection. this case does not leave ANY gap around the camera and has a nice sloped lip around the camera lense. The best camera protection that I have seen on any case I've ever owned.
All of this from a slim, sleek TPU case!
I do not work for this company, just sharing how incredibly impressed with this case. Check it out!

My only gripe with this case, which isn't a big one is that it covers the bottom row of the speaker holes :-/ May just be my case though

Ha. Be careful! I know how you like to change cases a lot...this may ruin it for you!!!
could one of you guys post a review for the nillkin case? that looks really tempting. thin, and covers camera it seems. thanks
I currently have the cruzerlite tpu case. I was dumb enough to get the clear one and its now a great shade of brown/yellow. Since I am in Canada with the shipping costs of most cases they all work out to be the same cost, so I figured I would grab something with a little more protection.
The whole reason I got the case in the first place was to give the phone a little more grip since the one x is a little slippy.
If I was looking for a case around the same bulk, with equal grip, and slightly better protection what would be the best choices currently?

Well I decided to get the Incipio Silicrylic, seems to be a good mix of looks and protection. Would the black or the grey look better with the white one x though?
Not a fan of the blue.

Wish I had seen this earlier. I just got the Seidio Active with the kickstand and love it. Protects the phone, and looks good while doing it. Couldn't recommend it more.

Perhaps that is a reasonable choice for those taking their phone to the battlefield. For the rest of us the commuter seems like a drastic overkill.
When I got my HOX I test drove the Incipio Feather and NGP. The Feather was too minimal and a bit slippery. I love the NGP.
anyone have any suggestions ? please since my only clip just broke
I just bought one from best buy when I was visiting the states. I'll post a full link later, but the case is 34.99, two part with a belt holster. Case is soft touch rubber and resembles the casemate barely there case. Holster is sturdy and secure.
EDIT: The brand is Platinum Series on the best buy site. Again, really nice and I love it to death.

I don't kno if you have bought a case yet, but the htc one x defender case from otterbox is pretty decent, has a plastic screen in front to protect the phone screen as well (So you dont need the scratch protecting screen protectors), And it comes with a belt clip. For 50$ it is a good case that really protects the phone, (50$ when i bought it month and a half ago, so it may be cheaper from att, or amazon might have it for a good price as well.

I know 3 people that have this case, myself included, and all 3 have had the plastic power button piece break off. It's there to provide help in pressing the power button but breaks off easily. Makes it very hard to press the power button after it breaks off. Also, the holster fro mine broke off as well. I like this case, as it's exactly the same as the Seidio Surface case, but I won't be buying another one for my One X.

I'm interested in a bumper as well but I'd prefer a rubber one, similar to the one iPhone 4 got after the Antennagate scandal.
RE: Aluminium Bumper
I just received mine after ordering it last week and it fits pretty well. Looks a few nano-meters off at some places and build quality i'd put at 8.5/10 but for a bumper under $15 i'd say go for it.
Also i got the silver brushed aluminium one and based on the design quality, id say the blue one would get scuffed pretty easily.
Hope this helped...if it did you know where the thanks button is :cyclops:

I ordered and received three different ones from Amazon:
rooCASE
Photive Hybrid
Poetic
All three of these are EXACTLY the same. No difference at all. So, if you want one of these, order the cheapest one.
I also ordered a couple others, which have not yet been received:
Case Square
KaysCase
I hope that these other two will be softer. The top ones are harder plastic.
UPDATE - These two are a little softer, but both have a cutout on one of the corners for a strap, which makes damage more likely if you drop it. I've stuck with the first models above, and been happy. One thing I especially like is that these bumpers aren't slick, so they very slightly stick in your pocket, making it so that they won't fall out unless you pull them out - nice.
With my S2 I used to have the Neo Hybrid EX bumper, and that was the perfect bumper - silicone inside, harder plastic outside. Spigen didn't make this for the S3, so we probably won't see it for the S4 either, unfortunately.
i ordered the grey Aluminum one last night. ill be lucky to get it in like 3 weeks. haha
