Hey guys, just broke my HD2 and switched to the G2 and I'm looking for some cheap but good accesories. What have you guys found and liked so far?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
what kind of acessories are you looking for?
Pretty much anything from cases, mounts, etc. To screen protectors, misc. Stuff, etc.
Mainly I'm just learnin the lay of the land for this thing since I was on the pandoras bo...er I mean hd2 for a long time now.

Well if you get am otterbox, it comes with an awesome screen protector.

I personally like the bodyguardz brand skin for protection.
Currently using the otterbox. Feels great and worth the price but know that you must not take the case on and off repeatedly. Only do it when u need it
Dock wise, go ebay. It's ur best bet
Mounts wise, you'll have to go universal.
That's all i can tell u off the top of my head

Thanks, ill probably go with an otterbox because I loved the one I used with my iphone back in the day. Unless...does it have that same rubbery finish which makes fuzz and lint stick to it like glue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
it's plastic finish. there is a silicone lining inside that makes life awesome when you need to access your volume control or power button. it also provides cover for open ports (headphones and power) so it's a good thing it's there.
Oh wow that literally sounds perfect. Ill order one this week I think.

Sure, but as i said, once you put the case on, try not to take the case on and off often or you will break a few teeth (on the case) and might scratch your phone if you're not careful.

Sounds good. Thanks for the input!!

As far as a car mount goes, I tried a cheap one off eBay and it didn't last very long. I found a Bracketron universal mount at Best Buy, well worth the $20. It's lasted me a few months so far, with no signs of breaking.
Case-mate barely there gets my vote. Otterboxes are just overpriced. Also the case-mate is removable without damaging your phone or the case itself.

I had a few other cheap cases in the past that broke on me from taking them on and off, but this one is pretty dam good. Gives good protection and you can take it off no problem with out breaking the clips. It looks just like the case mate but is less then 1/4 the price, overall it does the job and won't hurt the pockets.
Hey i have got the same HTC Desire Z with the same ROM and build number, its locked to vodafone australia though. Have you been able to root that firmware version. I tried the methods on the posts and cyanogen and they dnt seem to work for my version. have you been able to root your version? If so please help
I'm still concerned with how the phone will look so I'm not about to order through mail. Where can I go in person to buy an extended battery and cover. I live in NY and called a lot of T-Mobile stores and they said they do not sell extended batteries. And I'm assuming my nice shiny black rubber case will not fit anymore. Do they sell cases as well to fit the extended battery cover. I meant to say battery cover instead of case in the title but could not edit.
Every listing on both Amazon and Ebay contains photographs, so I'm really not sure what else you want. And it would astound me to find a brick and mortar that sells extended batteries for this phone.

I saw them only on Amazon and eBay. I have not seen them locally in my area. Go look at some of the post about extended batteries to see the size.
Later I post pictures of both.

I used to drive right by Sedio twice a week. They said they did not have a storefront, so I could not just come in and look at stuff.
You need to fly to China or Hong Kong to see them in person before you buy.

the phone is not that bad with the extended battery and as far as I can tell there is not a hard shell case I haven't seen one I am hoping someone makes one soon but I doubt it.
Amazon is safe. I have a stock size 1987mah battery and a 3500mah battery with the large rear cover. The quality of fit and finish is surprisingly good on the big back. I generally run my big 'stock ' battery but, it is nothing compared to the 3500mah

I too was concerned about buying a case that may not look good. Personally I went on YouTube and searched G2x trident case, which was the case I was looking at, and they had great hands on reviews for it.
Regarding an extended battery, I most likely would check amazon and read some reviews on some.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Jeez! On eBay the battery and new back cover start at around $7.49 with free shipping. For that price just buy it and if you don't like the way it looks, toss it.
Right?

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

I got a power skin for my Vibrant back in the day, and it was hideous. And barely charged it 60%, so I felt it was a waste of money.

For the added bulk, the lint the case attracted while in my pocket, not to mention it made it hard to get in and out of my pocket, and the cost, nothing less than a full charge would have been worth it. It sucked.

How else do you expect the power from the case to get into the phone?
For the money, I expect them to use a lower profile connector. It shouldn't stick out that far.

POGO Pins!!!
How about a case this that uses pogo pins?
- 3200mAH and no bulging nubs on the sides. What's best? You can use the MHL connector. Extended battery while using the HDMI connector. Nothing beats that. Period.

As cool as that is, it still doesn't protect the phone. It definitely looks better than the PowerSkin, though.

Gunmetal gray. Extremely satisfied. Looks sleek, build quality is excellent, way better than my M7. I am really, really, really impressed with HTC. I am in love with the camera features, I honestly might stick with sense based roms for this iteration because the features are cool and useful, unlike samsung.
I want gold. I think its worth the restocking fee. I got the darker gray

Do you recommend the dot case? Almost got it at the Verizon store but wanted to spend at least a little bit of time w/ the phone naked. I wasn't a fan of the stock keyboard so I got SwiftKey and it suits me well enough. Typically I'd go with Google keyboard but the vibration strength on click is way too strong.

Gunmetal and I'm extremely satisfied. Out of the dozens of phones I've ever owned, the M8 has the BEST build quality out of every single one of them! It looks and feels so classy compared to every other android device available.

Just finished installing SwiftKey as well. As for the case I find it too stiff. But I've been breaking it in and it's not as bad as when I first bought it. However it doesn't fold flat against the bank of the phone which annoys the hell out of me right now. But it has saved my battery I assume since I answer all my calls with it on.

Same here, boss actually got a little mad. Gunmetal and the incipio dualpro thin black and grey case. They go perfectly and great protection with no added bulk or weight. Was thinking to get the dot case but doubt will be any good from drop protection. Never had a flip style case so not sure how I'd like it.
Gunmetal. Sick as hell. My vzw rep actually brought me all 3 colors and let me keep them for a day to decide, but really the grey is by far the best aesthetically. I'll say though that all 3 are on par with or better than iPhone in terms of build quality. Highly satisfied.
