[Q] Re-scuff body - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I just picked up a one X that I traded for an iPhone 4s. The guy kept it in a ballistic case and there are a few shiny spots on the back where the silicone seems to have polished the generally matte body of the phone. Is there a way to restore the matte finish on these areas?

Hmm, perhaps steel wool.
Extra fine.

Do they sell different grades of steel wool at Wal-Mart (only ever bought Brillo pads) or would this be something I need to get at a hardware store?

They should, buy 0000 grade, its the finest.

Full review coming soon of HTC vs TMo vs Otterbox cases

There's been a lot of posts about cases lately and I'm obsessive over having the best suited case for my phones. As of last night I now have all the big name cases. The OEM "hard shell" case made by HTC, the hard rubberized one sold by T-Mobile, as well as the Otterbox. I'm working on a full review with pics in between my studying and classes so I'll try to have it up by late tonight or tomorrow at the latest.
I have to say I'm not FULLY satisfied with any of them, as they each definitely have flaws, but at least people will be able to see which one best suits their needs.

Sweet man! I've got the otterbox and the tmo hard rubber case, and i actually use the otterbox for the back and the rubber for the front. I love it. I'm interested to see what you do.

Just ordered the Otterbox since the HTC OEM snap on case isn't available anywhere!

If you have a rubberized one, it'll fit great.
And btw, what does OEM stand for? Haha

OEM is original equipment manufacturer, just means its an actual HTC product. Yea, right now I'm using the HTC front but I don't like how the camera button isn't covered. The tmo rubber one is just too sticky in my pockets and blocks both the top of the keyboard and the left side of the screen when trying to drag across home screens.

I have the otterbox commuter case, work's great, doesn't add to much weight to the phone.

Aluminum bumper

Saw this on ebay. Anyone try it?

I like that! Too bad I bet it won't fit ours. :-(
Just looked and they have them for the one xl though... That might fit!

I like this. Someone please confirm if the xl version will fit the AT&T models.
Thanks

That model seems like a bad idea. First, it seems strange to me that the front plate is held on by a really small and flimsy looking hook. That to me gives me the impression that it could fall off really easily.
Also, the sides being open around the screen mean pocket lint is going to collect in there and on a normally white phone it may look really bad.
Finally, he showed it off without any SIM card I noticed. I would like to see someone test the signal attenuation that is caused by the all metal case. It may not affect signal at all but I would want someone else to confirm that before plunking down ~$30.
Just wait a few months, they will be sold for $12-16.

I got one on Friday. It fits our device fine but it is a complete piece of garbage. Very cheap feeling, finish is crap and the front part that slides in is not secured well.

Thanks for the update. Too bad, I was hoping it would be good.

Thanks, sadly you confirmed my suspicions.
We will hold out hope for someone to produce an aluminum bumper worthy of the HOX.

I got this exact case. If you are getting an international HOX you're good but it doesn't fit the AT&T one precisely.
Edit; I take that back... It fits fine but makes it hard to press the power button. I just realized the auction said for the AT&T one and I was thinking of one of my other 12+ cases. Lol.
If you want some case recommendations let me know... I am a case whore!!

They have the other models that are not as loud.
The problem with any hard shell with NO internal neoprene/rubber, it will get debris and scratch the phone all up.
Only phones with some internal soft rubber material protect the phone inside properly I've found.
Happy with my speck candy shell just plain one, no grip/gaming model like that ugly one posted.
Of course, why they don't have a white one available is beyond me...common trend with case makers for this phone...
Incipio Feather Case is the absolute best. The light blue one is a stunner.
I started this thread so I just wanted to let you know that this case doesn't align to the connecting dots on the back.

:good: Is a good choice
My advice is to stay clear of the clear one. It will turn a nasty yellow in a few weeks. The nature of tpu.
Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
I've got one of these, androidified in transparent green. Pretty nice simple cases. I switch between it and my Otterbox.
First deal fell through....waiting on a reply from will900
These aren't sold until I have money in my paypal!! Who wants 'em??
PM SENT!
SOLD
Do you know where else they can be purchased? I've checked eBay where I buy most of my TPUs and they weren't there.

cruzerlite.com and they also sell on amazon.com
Make sure you get the ATT version, as they have a second version for the international One X. Well worth the money!

Ringke fusion?

I ordered this case from eBay for thirteen bucks since the Google ones were not available. I had one on my n4 and liked it. Have used otter box in the past and some no name tpu's before. Never tried a bumper either. Is there any others you'd recommend?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
thats the one I was thinking of getting. I was going to get the grey one for a white n5 but then thought the sides are black anyway so decided on the black in the end. Nice looking case hope it gives the protection as well as the looks.
I'm torn as well I want something clear I want the Nexus logo visible and also I do not want to pay 34.99 for googles case
Right, I don't want to have it naked just in case. I've had good luck with the fusion plus its cheap. Idk about those flip cases, they look nice but for forty or fifty I'd rather not.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Iv never used a flip case but I have always thought that the novelty of flipping over the cover to activate the screen will wear thin quickly and having to deal with the flappy front when open will be far more annoying than any practical use it will make up for.

Cases are limited at this time as you'd expect, so I picked up a spigen ultra fit in the meantime for 20 bucks. But planning on getting Otterbox when available.
