Creative
It's creative one. :fingers-crossed:
Nice. I got white because I didn't want gray. Wish they had the black option by default
it doesn't look like it fits right though, seems your screen is raised more than the body. My body is a little more raised than the screen
Na it fits perfect looks exactly like my original except black instead of white I'm very happy with my piano keys

The hardest part was switching out the power buttons. The sticky tabs were a b***h to work around lol but with a little fines I got em in now all I need is a black sim tray for my white housing since it does not come included
Ps. It feels like I have a brand new phone again!

That's a great site! I think I might order a white housing It'll be like getting a new phone again. Do the housings come with the power and volume buttons?
Yep just no sim card or loud speaker I ordered a speaker seperate so I could just pop it in and out whenever I wanted I still gotta get a black card tray for my white hoising.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
looks good. i think white housing with black buttons would look dope. To change the housing, you literally just pop it off right? no need to disconnect any ribbons or cables?
Nope it just pops off but be careful as some have reported breaking LCD screen with pry tool, I used a guitar pik

The at&t housing looks grey and the other one looks black, did they make a black one for the international?

That looks awesome! I hope you don't mind, I posted your pics in the ATT note discussion on whether to get black or white. You actually cemented my idea to get black and then skin it later if I wanted. I think yours looks better than the black or the white!
does the vinyl cover the "lit up buttons"? or do they shine through?
They shine thru.... The skin plus the case looks amazing everyone thinks its actually the white phone... Gettting best of both worlds lol

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.

Look what showed up at my work today.
It came directly from HTC for specific reps who won phones from HTC in April. I'd imagine they are releasing them very shortly since we received them as prizes today. Mine should be here in a few days and I'll check software versions to see if there are any differences.

No way!!!??! I shouldve waited...oh well lets see if the coating lasts like the international one
Sent from HTC one s
Well when i had talked to one of the higher ups at HTC in March, he said they planned on releasing the Black version at launch, but since the coating had the chipping issues they decided to delay it till they fixed it.
Hopefully this was the actual reason, and we don't have any chipping issues on these phones. I'll post some more pictures tomorrow or day after.
Ok cool thx, I wanna see if they fixed the problem

I was kinda attracted to the flip cases available for the htc one x ..
after a small resear found some .. but the one which i liked the most is
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140805063347#ht_6169wt_1185
i was just wondering , if anyone tried it ? looks sexy.. but 18$ isn't worth untill i know it works fine..
I haven't tried it but is be scared to use one without a screen protector

yeah true .. but i wont invest that much money in the case until and unless i have the confirmation that it works perfectly
i was just thinking that someone might have give it a go ..
27$ that's too much , with the fact that i dont know for how much time will i carry my ONE X .. hehehe..
actually i was looking for something like the SAMSUNG NOTE CASE ..
Thats a really good looking case, but I've been rolling naked for a while and i have the same concern about sand as superchilpil, don't want any more scratches

Got this original HTC flip case from expansys.com and it's quite legit! Also downloaded smart screen off app, that way phone screen would automatically turn on and off when open/closed the flip. Worth the money!

Bump for results?
I cracked the glass on my camera lens. What can be done about fixing it??
I know insurance covers it, but only if I pay the $200 deductible. HTC can fix it for next to nothing in cost, but that requires I mail the phone to california, wait for it to be fixed and for them to mail it back.
I have found the entire back portion of the phone available on eBay for $40 however after closer look, these are all for the HTC One X, not the HTC One XL.
I was talking to a friend of mine and he says the glass is just a very thin piece of protection and you really dont need it so I should just remove it. As it is now, the camera takes extremely blury photos. Any ideas on how best to fix this? If the glass is not important, I might just remove it entirely but it'd be nice if I could fix it somewhat cheaply.
i have to ask how the hell did you crack your lens cover

I'm pretty sure it happened while I was working. I keep my phone clipped into my seidio active holster. The case keeps the phone protected quite well. I've dropped the phone from the height of 4-8' several times, without any adverse effects.
I know the night I was working on a large data/phone cabling job, I am sure I did not drop it. But when I went to take my photos, they all came out blury and I found its cracked. Has two cracks, forming sort of an X. I would bet you that it happened while I was working on the hard tile floor and rolled over on top of something hard like one of my tools or something. Possibly. Still unsure.

I did call AT&T warranty, I was told that they do not cover small issues like cracked glass on the camera lens. They will only replace the phone if it was not working... like a bad micro usb port or something. If I was more sleezy than I already am, I would break it so that I can get it replaced. But I'm not doing that.

Ok I'm aware its all one piece, it's a unibody. But if theyre just selling the bezel/lens piece, it's probably just glued down, being screwed in a good chance also.
