Finally Looking To Settle This Case Issue

Hello, pretty new to this forum, but just wanted to thank everyone for the help in advance. I know there are similar threads and there is a master thread for cases, but I've looked though most of it and was unable to find a solid answer.
Basically, I am looking for a semi transulent thin case for the HTC One XL (US Version) that provides a lip for camera protection. I have found some interesting models online, but I am unable to figure out if they would be comptabile with the US version. If anyone could link me or provide insight on the fit to the US model that would be great.
I have listed below a few names of possible cases that I need verification on for fit to US version.
Nillkin Hard Cover Case (White)
HTC HC C700 Ultra Thin Hard Shell Case (Clear) <--- Would be my favorite option, but most concerned about fit
BENKS Magic Cookies <--- Looking for a place to buy this, but also concerned about fit
Once again, I understand that there are similar threads, but this thread is mainly concerned with the fit to the US version of the HTC One X.
Thanks again.

My wife and I both use this case: http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-Back-Flexible-Case/sim/B007WGFNHU/2
It fits the US version perfect for me. Provides a lip for the camera, translucent/clear and really shows off the phone, good grip on the sides, and it provides enough protection for small drops. My only negative would be the power button was a little hard to press on mine at first but it's fine now and wasn't ever an issue on my wife's.

I'm glad you started this thread because that is exactly the situation I'm in. I wouldn't want the tpu case posted above though because those clear tpu cases have always yellowed very quickly for me. I'd prefer what you described in a non-yellowing clear or translucent hard case with a tiny lip on the front to protect the screen when placed screen down.

That being said I still just ordered one of those TPU cases from Amazon since they're having a 60% off sale right. I figured for 3 bucks and change including shipping it would be worth a shot.
Use coupon code onexsale at checkout if you're interested.

I've had mine since day one and hasn't yellowed at all. I do notice a slight blue since its in my pocket most of the time but my wife's still looks completely clear.

I actually ordered the TPU case that you linked to, but I am still interested in a hard back case. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

Just went to order one of these but Amazon won't ship to Australia and their eBay listing is $15USD postage!!! That's crazy!

For the benks case, it seems like a perfect fit for our HOX:

What he said
I think people make a big deal about the size difference. 0.42mm longer is barely any difference, and it's length which most cases don't cover.
I think the only problem case wise you'll find is with cases with pogo pin cutouts, they won't align. Other than that you'll mostly be fine. (opinion)

Nexus 4 Case ( Video)

So i just got my case , ordered it from ebay, was £2.99, think its gone up to £3.99 now, but its nice! I mean its plastic, and it takes away a bit from the niec glass feel, but it sure beats a cracked phone lol
Made a video here - http://youtu.be/jdE-1LVqbrA
Link to the case is in the description

Nice! Can you still see the nice effects of the back of the nexus?

I mentioned it in the video, you can , but only in the bottom right corner , i mean, the case is nice, but it doesnt feel quite as nice as the glass , but i just dont wanna break it lol

Nice video review, thanks. I am really torn with whether to get a case or not. I really do love the look and feel of the phone without a case or bumper, but as you said it's nice to have some type of protection.
For me I think the clear case or a bumper would be the best options because you still want to be able to see that pretty back side. Thanks again.

Ordered the clear 1 myself still waiting on it coming though...

Wireless Charging?
The main thing holding me back from getting a case is that it seems like most of them would interfere with wireless charging. I'd love to see a review that includes testing with a Qi charger.

Ended up ordering a clear one even though my nexus is not here yet LL3

Just ordered the clear case. For under $2 Canadian you can't go wrong.

thanks for the review on youtube, i ordered this one in red.
its now £3.90 but it comes with an s pen and possibly a screen protector (i dont know)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310513140819&var=610164948368
i ordered this from an uk based ebay store because i didnt want to wait 3 weeks or more for a similar case to ship in from china...

I did a review on one of these too.

I have this same case (except the black one) and use the energizer QI charger and it works just fine through the case. After it's been charging for a while it has a little stuck feel to it just like when plastic gets warm. It's not melting or anything, but it has a feel like there was a small magnet holding it in play after it gets warm. Doesn't do that without the case.
I'm not a huge case fan and I would use the phone naked because I'm really careful with my stuff, but the phone slides from the glass back. Different surfaces at different speeds, but I have seen it fall off many things from watching it. I am going to try a back screen protector and see if that prevents it from sliding and just go with that if it does. That a side, this case feels really good for the price.

Case for a normal person.

I have looked high and low for a case that is durable, thin(not the ultra thin ones), but isn't silicon. Anyone using something like this? I need it to be able to slide in and out of my pocket fairly easily. (Hence why I'm avoiding silicon cases) If there's one that does this and covers the volume rocker as well as keeps the phone from laying on the screen or camera, I'd have all my wants met.
Preferably matte black, if I can have it. Thanks!

I am on the same hunt also. Narrowed it down to the silicrylic and ballistic SG. I like the sleekness of the silicrylic, but the robustness and confidence I can have with the ballistic is tempting.

Platinum case from bestbuy.
Sent from my HTC One XL

Seidio surface case. Same thing as the platinum. People complain about the button covers breaking but mine have not snagged on anything nor do I feel they are flimsy. In order to break them you would need to have the mind of a two year old that's on a mission to break things.

I'm not allowed to post links yet, but go to incipio's website and if you go to smart phone cases > htc > htc one x(att) there are a couple cases there. The feather and feather shine are very thin and pretty good looking. I'd recommend the normal feather(black one). I had both but the black one is more durable. The shine one looks really slick, but the corners of the case that line up with the corners of the phone ended up breaking after a month or two. The other one should fair better because it isn't made of out the same plastic material.

Thanks for the replies. I had also looked at the silicryllic and ballistic. Thinking along the lines of one of those. Not sure if I want something that makes the phone huge(er) in the hand than it already is Haha.

check out the Nillkin TPU case... This is the best case I have ever found for a phone. Love the thinness and matte look/feel. Keeps the sexyness to the phone and also has a nice lip for the camers (something that I have yet to find on a thin case for this phone. Will never buy another case for this phone again...

I heard that the nilkin was meant for the international so the camera doesn't line up and perfectly with ours

I clicked this thread by mistake, but as the case i use on my One X is compatible with One XL i would recomend you the Momax iCase Pro it is made of TPU+Polycarbonate it doesn't add much bulk to the phone while giving very decent protection, the case protudes a bit on the top and bottom to avoid the screen hitting the floor first, it protudes on the back around the camera and overall its a tight fit and feels very well in the hand, slides in the pocket nicely too!

Consider yourself lucky. I know 3 people, including myself, personally that have bought that case and the power button piece broke on all 3. Not a big deal now since I use s2w but at first it sucked big time.

I got mine from ebay, not their website, it might take a while as these cases are quite rare to be seen on europe or america and they mostly come from Hong Kong! If you want, i can take some pics so you can see how the case looks on the phone.

That just tells me they really dont fit 100% if they claim they line up perfect on both phone versions.
It either fits the ONE X perfect or the ONE XL perfect no way it fits both perfect.

It's not like the phones are that diferent, its only 0,4mm not 4mm. If you see around there are a lot of cases which are compatible with both phones the One X and the XL and i can't see why are you making such a big deal out of this, if the case doesn't fit on his XL he can always return it.

OtterBox Alternatives?

Looking for a decent case for protection that is also ergonomic. OtterBox was my first choice, but it's quite expensive
Anyone have any suggestions? Or have experience with any of the ones below?
Griffin Survivor Case: Link Here
M-Edge Latitude Case: Link Here
Caseen Soft Snap Case: Link Here

For my money and taste the only one of those worth it would be the Griffin:thumbup: just don't see myself paying that much for the other ones. Also I was going to make a post like thus when I found these last night http://tinyurl.com/cyduhug since I'm very busy with work now I don't have to u can just ad them to your post. My only grip is not a wide variety if colors "yet" and straight black isn't one of the few so there's only a few choices for me,but some color choice for a great case at a great price is better than nothing

Thanks for the suggestion! :laugh:
I'm probably going to go with the Griffin or Latitude. The JNP covers that you were talking about are awesome. My only gripe is that there is no straight black or at least a *dark* colored cover. Bright colors usually give me a headache lol

No I havent received them just yet. Sorry for the confusion.

I own the case in purple, I've had it for about a week, I am absolutely in love with it, I got it on ebay for 10$ and It was worth every dime, it adds bulk but I like to know my device is protected, it makes me feel like I can throw my phone on my bed when I get home and it wont break, I have the xtremegaurd installed with it front and back, and the case just feels great, the cut outs are perfect, and the microphones are covered with mesh to keep out air? I guess? The cover on the headphone jack and the cover on the charging port is a nice add on, havent really used the stand much but its sturdy, doesn't feel cheap at all, enjoy the case guys

Purple? As I know, there are only 3 colours: black, white and red.
