Hi guys, I have recently fell in love with the case mate barely there metallic silver for the Galaxy S. However, I have a Galaxy S LCD and I know that case mate do a case for the i9000 and the i9003! Anybody know the difference? Also, when I was on amazon, it said that they have a newer model of the product but when i clicked on it, it looked exactly the same?
Any suggestions or help would be great! And if you have this case please comment on what you think about it Thanks
I used it for a few months and found that:
1. It made the gps worse.
2. It caused scratches on the bezel when you put it on or removed it. Which is ironic because it's supposed to protect the bezel.
But on the plus side, it made the phone feel a bit more solid and look nice without making it noticably bigger.

I think it is great! Protected my phone very well through a festival and loads of gigs, solid case. I have broken the little bit above where the gap for the volume rocker is, but that was kind of expect. In the upper right corner there is also a crack for me, I will try attaching some images for you now! I might just order another one!

Hi, Guys I have had this phone for a few days and I am loving it so far.
Today I noticed something very weird and I am a little concerned.
I was taking off my original HTC case and I saw that the bottom of the phone and the screen there was a big gap. I was shocked at first because I had never seen it before and I saw big led's on the bottom.
It Looks normal now but I can literally recreate it back if I push the bottom and the screen will separate from one another creating a big gap where I can actually see the led's. I mean once I push it back I have to recreate it for it to happen but other than that it looks normal and there is no light leakage once the push the bottom back on.
Here are the two pictures.
One where the bottom comes off if I push it a little and it could easily happen when I take off the case showing the gree led,
and the second one where I pushed the bottom back up and it looks normal.

Yeah.. it probably shouldn't do that Might as well see about getting it replaced before your warranty is up.
Yea I sent amazon an email already, it is cool otherwise, If I don't push too hard or take the case off too hard it wont happen but it literally separates if I push little too hard. Otherwise normal usage it is fine and like now there is no light leakage or anything no one would be able to tell that happens unless they put pressure on the bottom edge.
Yep just took mine back for that same issue. I could pop the bottom of the LCD out from the housing and snap it back in. They exchanged it. Oddly enough my replacement I can still see a very slight gap but the screen doesn't move like it did on my other one. I'm worried about moisture getting in there. Might have to return this one as well

Yea I am.just glad that it only happens when pushed. I already sent amazon an email and they are pretty good about advance replacement. I mean I would have never noticed it if I didn't push the case too hard to take it off from the bottom. Like now it is perfect lol.

i do believe this is how the access the innards of the phone. To reach the battery etc the screen pops off. It appears that yours was not properly fitted.
My AT&T One X started separating on the bottom left corner this weekend. I am going to call my local corp. store this morning and see if they have any in stock so I can go get a replacement.

Both my wife's and my phone do this as well. Noticed it a week ago, when taking off case.
It would be nice to know if this a defect or just the way most phones are. I mean it's perfect unless you push down hard to take off the case from the bottom.

When I had a Vivid, it did the same thing near the volume rocker. The border of the phone began separating from the screen. I just pushed in on it and it snapped back into place, but it's still a bit concerning.
I pop the case off of my One X every week to clean out debris, and I haven't noticed it separating yet. (official HTC case)

I posted this last weekend about my phone doing the exact same thing, though I still havent gotten around to posting pictures. I am just going to refer to yours since they show the same thing. My is doing this on the sides rather than the top or bottom, but it is slowly spreading.
Annoyed because AT&T still doesnt have stock...
I was reading some of the international One X forums - it sounds like about 1 out of 4 have similar build issues on the intl' version. I was hoping they would have their ish together before the US release...
I ordered mine from amazon and they have already shipped me a replacement. I will update on how it goes. Hopefully not the same issue.

Lucky! I called around and no stores in the area have them in stock.
Hmm...
The gap might be there due to constant handling/movement or swapping covers/cases. I mean, look at this youtube video regarding how the HTC One X can be taken apart for repairs. Notice how the phone is worked from that bottom edge, exposing the screen, before it snaps open. I don't currently have a HOX or else I'd test it first hand, but could this be a cause of the gap? or maybe it just a factory defect in some instances?
It could be. If my second one does that than I think it might be that way to open it up. Mine is fine right and looks new. But can snap it open with ease. If someone had given it to me like this I probably would not have known.

In that video it looks like the part she separates is the metal frame/bezel+screen from the polycarb shell. Our issue is the screen itself is coming unglued from the metal frame/bezel. It appears to be a quality control issue in a small percentage of them.
That video is very similar to how mine would come off. I would have to push really hard to open up like that but small bump does make it obvious how u would take it apart.

I had a gap in the bottom right corner where i could see some shiny material . The screen at that end was also slightly raised.
Asked amazon about it and they sent me a new one.
This one too is not perfect as there is still a slight gap between the body and the screen, again at the bottom right. But i guess i am going to keep this one.
waiting for my case.
OFFTOPIC : Why hasnt OP changed his launcher as yet! I feel the sense launcher looks less refined and spoils the beauty of the One X screen
Got the replacement phone, it doesn't do that. But damn this phone is all pink instead of white on the screen. I can clearly see the whites are not white on this phone. I am thinking about just keeping the original phone since it is always like new unless i force the housing to open. It never just happens, I have to make it happen, but other than that phone is like new and the screen is way more beautiful than the replacement phone. I think the one I got is using a different screen than the original.
I've JUST received my infinity in the UK from Amazon.de (great deal by the way), but the top left of the screen protrudes quite significantly from the housing, much more than the right. Presumably this is a fault? Has anyone else had to get a replacement yet, and how did it go?

In the Nexus 7 forum, a fix for screen lift has been found. It appears that it often is related to the screws under the lifted area being tightened too much. Since the Nexus 7 is made by Asus, it seems a fair bet that they might have similar issues. This fix also seems to remedy some instances of light bleed.
Hi all
Haven't noticed any issues with my One XL until tonight and want to know if this is normal or if I should exchange as I am within 30 days.
When I push down on the left bottom, right bottom, and right top corners of the screen there is no play/movement. When I push down on the left top corner, there is a definite give. Is this normal?

I've had my One X for 3 days. No play on the screen, but I noticed today there is a crack or scratch in the LCD under the glass. I don't know how else to describe it, it looks just like a scratch, but I can see the glass is smooth and glossy at that place. At first I thought it was dead pixels, but it changes color based on angle. I was really hoping for HTCs flagship phone to last me at least a week without defects.

Mine does it in the too right corner.. but it takes pressure. So you won't really notice it. I think I pressed mine a little too hard and it might have popped back in. I don't recommend it though

I will have to try to exchange it. But, I only got it after receiving two doa replacement GS IIs. Plus the phone is awful if it comes with 2.2 pre-installed. I don't know if I want to roll the dice and risk getting one with 2.2 on it.
And I spoke too soon, mine does have play on the screen in the center at the top, right on the at&t logo.
Not too impressed with HTC build quality so far.

Lol "is awful" if it comes with 2.2. Don't know entirely about that.
I have actually been impressed with the build quality. But, something under the screen as you say sounds like an anamoly. You need to get that replaced.

Just took a further look at my screen. It looks like the top left part of the screen is raised ever so slightly above the tiny screen bezel around the screen. All the other parts of the screen are flush with that small bezel. Does this make sense?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I think this is going to be very common with the one x's because of its unibody shell. The indented snaps that hold the phone inside the unibody go along the top bottom and both sides. HTC should of also had the snaps in the corners which would have eliminated the issue.
Yeah it's not a big deal. I might exchange it once, but other than that I'm not about to go OCD like some people here.

Mine does this in the bottom left hand corner. It makes the screen have a faint orange circle in that corner unless I apply pressure on that corner and it will fade for a few minutes before coming back. I've been debating whether I should bring mine in for a replacement but I'm worried I'll get stuck with 2.2

Hey,
For all of you that own a white HOX, have you experienced the matte white finish on the back of the device gradually wearing away near the bottom corners (or wherever you most often hold it from) and losing its characteristic grippy matte-ness, becoming slightly shiny and smooth?
I'm concerned about the long term consequences of using the HOX without a case (although i use a case) as the bottom right area of my phone has lost some of its matte texture, become smooth white.
I don't have a problem with the white finish on mine. The only problem I have is the SN, IMEI, and SKU sticker coming off from sliding it in and out of my pocket.

How long have you had it? I've had mine for 2-3 months and so far it's okay. There might be a little shininess going on, but it's hard to tell.

I don't have that problem. I mean, I have the glamour grey one, but I digress...
Does anyone have a problem with the screen flaking? I guess it's the anti glare coating on the beveled edge for me is flaking off. I can't understand it because it's been in a case the entire time i've had it. Of course I can't call up warranty since i've rooted and unlocked my bootloader. This sort of software modding thing though shouldn't void a defect warranty.

I've had mine since around the beginning of April. As of right now, the wearing away has been pretty minor, and is distinctly noticeable in direct light, and appears around the bottom edge, near the corners, as that is where I most commonly hold my phone from.
I actually have a case on right now, but noticing this slight wear-away concerned me (which further convinced me to keep a case on), but wasn't sure whether or not it would keep wearing away.
I would describe it as... a smoothing out of the matte finish, kind of the way it looks if it gets a little oily. The affected areas are more reflective and 'shiny' , but not truly smooth like the finish on the GS3
Again, it's not major, but just something I was wondering about.
This is common in plastic items if you look at a well used mouse or keyboard over time the most struck areas will smooth out lucky the hox is mad of inject molded plastic so the white one is solid white so it wont "rub" off it will just show polish like brass over time.
My grey one did that after about 2 months. Two spots about the size of a dime on the back, where it would touch when set down. They polished to a shiny slippery finish. Haven't used a case at all.

Yeah, mines getting shiny on the corners, and my screen has some barely perceptible scratches on it. I'm not too worried at the moment though, I'm going to warranty swap due to a bright spot on my screen.

You shouldn't need to keep that on your phone anyway. You should have received at least one or two extra stickers in the packaging that came with the phone, which are there to be used for warranty purposes etc...

My phone tends to get a kind of shiny/smooth finish to it after a while. Its nothing a little bit of windex can't fix. I do have a case on it
