Hi guys,
Got my hands on the CandyShell Grip case, from Speck at my local AT&T store. This is a one-piece hybrid style case that incorporates silicone and plastic in one. So while you get a sleeker case (since it's not 2 pieces) while obtaining the benefits of both materials. It's pretty simple to put on, and I love the look - but removing this case is very, very difficult.
Check out the full review below:
Are you going to review the Ballistic Case for HTC One X? I need to know if it will fit my AT&T One X perfectly.

Unfortunately I don't have my One X anymore, it was my uncle's who doesn't live in the country. He let me use it for a couple of weeks and I took the time to post up some reviews, sorry!
If I do hear anything regarding the case and AT&T model fitment, I'll post on here.
As an fyi: the reason the openings appear to not line up is because the international model is a different size. Putting the case on was definitely more laboured and the speaker and charger ports line up perfectly as does the camera. My one complaint is still the power key. The volume keys seem fine but the power key is a *****.
Great review. Definitely loving this case so far.

Can you please post instructions or a video on how to remove this case. I have one and tired to remove it but I felt like I was going to break my phone.

Pinch the sides of your phone and push against the black silicone parts on the case. Not only are they there for protection, but since it is a thin layer of material, your fingers will put pressure on the One X and pop it out. Let me know if that helps.

I find that bending the case on the upper right corner makes for easy phone removal.
Thanks Ploone and gunnyman. Got it out.

I don't think that case was made for that phone. The openings look way off, must be made for the other version of the HOX
Huh? All my port holes line up perfectly.

The phone in the video is the internAtional I believe.
I have this case for my phone and the grip/ design looks awesome on my one x. The buttons are hard as hell to push like he was saying and its a pain to take the case off. But having used it a few days it definitely works well protecting my white one x.
I never really drop my phones and prefer to use them naked. Especially cause how sexy the one x is. But the case is slim and for those considering buying, definitely don't hesitate

I got this case included with a used HOX that I scored off Cl today. Decent case, but I wouldn't recommend it highly.
This case is awesome, but it's ruining my Zagg Invisible Shield at the bottom by the back/home/multitask buttons. By ruining I mean causing it to bubble up.
Is this happening to anyone else?

I just installed my candyshell and it promptly ruined my ghost armor screen protector and will not allow me to put on a cheap one from amazon without some nodding with scissors.

Stay away from this case it ruined my hox. Made it creak every time I press down on it and scratched it pretty bad. Also don't work with screen protectors

like this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Ultra-S...2117772779287725249&pid=100010&prg=1004&rk=5&
no it wouldnt...my dad just bought the note and its much fatter and curvy than the transformer, so no it would not fit
They have different proportions - Samsung is "lower" but wider than TF700. And a bit thicker. I compared them in a shop while looking for TF700 case.

Yah same here but I bought this one from Amazon

Waiting for it to arrive
Accidentally ordered Samsung tab 2 10 case for my Infinty. If you use force real hard, it would go in there, look very bad and block some of the plugins.
And just when I was going to write some bad reviews to Amazon I double checked that what it was I actually ordered and realized that made some classical mistake there.
Good one of my friends have that tablet so didn't go to waste.
Just received an email from Xgear
" We currently have tempered glass in development for the Nexus 4, we estimate that it will be ready by December-January."
YES! can't wait! Loved the one I had on my gnex
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
IIRC, Xgear got a lot of flak for the mildly-visible dot layout on their S3 glass protector. Also, I'm noticing while I type, the phone seems a lot less sensitive than my S3. Hopefully it doesn't screw it up for the people that actually want this!
I actually hated the one on my Galaxy Nexus. I think the curved display is what ruined the soft key sensitivity. Hopefully this one will be better because it's a flat phone.

Awesome! I hate the feeling of other screen protectors.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
how does this stuff compare to SGP GLAS.t??
I've read that SGP's stuff is made in the same factory that produces the protectors for XGear now.
I bought three of the Galaxy Nexus protectors when they came out; had one on the VZW GNex that I sold, have one on the GSM GNex that I'm about to ship to a friend on Friday (sold it, bought another 8G Nexus 4 to be my spare), and I have a third left over that's going out with the phone too. Always had great results, LOVED them, didn't mind the "dots" at all and never had any adhesive/curve problems.
I hate using a wet-apply type (BSE for now) protector on my N4's front glass, but it's all I have until XGear or whoever they rebrand from actually releases a product.

The big question is: How well will it play with the curved sides of the screen of the Nexus 4?
^ This!
What do you guys mean by dots on the screen?
I don't think the dots are going to be on the screen. The dots were on the original Galaxy Nexus screen but they revised it

Today, you can pre-order the screen for $25.50. Comes out to apx $31 after shipping for me.

Looks interesting.
Too bad they don't sell these in retail stores. I'm the only one of my friend's w/ a N4 so I won't be able to see it in person. Too expensive to try. Will wait for you guys to review... haha

Hi everyone.
Almost every other post about screen protectors seems to be for the USA.
What actual options do we have here in the UK?
(most interested in full body)
Please do not merge this with the "master list" as that list is not relevant to us.
Sorry, what?
I've order mine from bestskinsever.com for two sets for under £11 including delivery
Anybody found any decent, reasonably priced ones?
Ordered the pack of 6 from Germany on ebay and they are god awful, guess you get what you pay for!
Would prefer dry application ones
all the one's on amazon either have no reviews or one star reviews so i also dont know what to get, £11 seems a lot aswell

I use the same. Best ones out there. If applied properly they last forever and don't get marked like normal ones. They don't get scratched.
I'll let you know when my XtremeGuard arrives from wherever they ship from ... $8.37 shipped to the UK for 2 for the N4 and 2 for the N7.

Just got mine from xtremeguard shipped from USA. Arrived within 8 days (quicker than the phone did!). It seems very good, although no matter whether wet or dry I am crap at applying protectors.
If LG hadn't put stupid power and volume icons on factory cover I would have been tempted to leave that on for a while.

Haha I didn't have high hopes when I saw they came attatched to a bit of paper, going to stick with the factory protector for now. Just want to get some standard dry apply protectors, don't really want to faff about

Review of G Google Nexus 4 FULL BODY SHIELD Invisible Screen Protector Front + Back
I ordered the same.
Pros:
* It fits perfectly fine.
* Looks sturdy.
* Application was easy.
Cons:
* Not smooth for sure. rubbery feel is reducing the feel f the phone.
* Back glass doen't look as glorious as it could be.
* Considering the cost they could send a spray to make the application process easier.
I hope its helpful.
I've used Best Skins Ever in the past and they're good as far as wet application SPs go, reasonably priced and quick delivery from the US...

Guys I wonder if you can help, I need a protector that covers the whole screen, the two ive tried are approximately 5mm to narrow (same as the factory fitted protector) I take it the reason being its because of the curved screen, the protector would lift, if cut to the edge.
Does anyone know of such a protector that allows for the edge curve and fits perfectly?
Thanks

I'm wondering about that too, so far the screen protectors I've seen don't cater towards the rounded edges of the screen. Instead the tend to leave a blunt cut just before the screen curves.
I personally don't like those either. I was looking at Martin Fields protector as I had one on my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 and both worked fine. I am worried about the protector lifting though
Hi I wanted to give a quick review of the sticker boy skin I received the other day for my note 8.0.
I have been using sticker boy skins for my gadgets for some time now and they have never disappointed. Their quality has always been the best out of all other skins I have tried. I usually opt for the metal series but this time because of the look of the note I went with the white carbon fiber one. The cuts are perfect and they wrap the edge up to the silver trim around the side. For the best fit with out wrinkles a slight heat with a hair dryer will help it wrap the corners. I did apply the side wraps as well but did not apply the bezel skin yet. I am not a fan of anything on the screen. No other reason than I am anal about that. All the cut its fit perfect. Even the cut out around the camera which was concerned with before I got it was perfect. Their quality seems to hold up to anything I throw at it. Sticker boy customer service is always a pleasure to deal with as well. Quick shipping and always available to make right on any quality issues. I will try to post pictures later.
