Yeah I know. I just reread the forum after I posted that. I feel stupid..

http://www.gultek.eu/htc-spare-parts/housing/one-s-white.html
Although I am sure that this is the devil's material (plastic) it's all I could find.
Also, it's out of stock, which is really bloody annoying.

I think i found it! http://stellatech.com/htc-one-s-back-cover-(white),a,en,814376.html doesnt know anything about it, but it says its original

Here is a full housing cover and the shop is legit and trustworthy and the other parts have pictures and they looks like original! The company is also from germany and it's big enough that they can't sell imperfect items.
Yes, English is not my native languange

I'm buying the one you linked from aliexpress. Ill constantly update this post to inform you how long it took, how much it was ect.
Edit 1: So i just purchased it, the White housing was $53.19. I decided to go with EMS shipping which is 35.79 leading to a total of $88.98, woah thats alot. I will edit this post again in 5-15 days (when i get my housing) with pictures and more!
Edit 2: The seller shipped it, now i wait more..

Why are you getting this? I mean is it just for the white housing?
I purchased (at a jacked up price at a T-mobile store no less) an awesome white housing car with a chrome (plastic, but not painted chrome..in other words, no chipping that shows white underneath) by Skullcandy and I paid $39.99, which i am sure can get for around $10 now.....
So i am just curious....what is the big draw here?

The big draw is that your phone is literally no longer silver this isn't just a case its an entire new body for the phone. This is also handy for those who have scratches and marks on their phones
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Is it white all the way through or is it coated in some way?

Tell us about the housing when you get it. Im not sure if it will fit on our one s, because maybe the white special edition has some changes in its housing. Im waiting for the seller answer.

I see... it's not a case.
I would expect there to be done issues switching the housings though. Will follow this thread...

My 'custom' bumper

So I got a real carbon fiber case for my iPad a few days ago and am rocking it with a red smart cover. Thought I'd try to get my N4 to look the same. A can of plastidip, a little time and some elbow grease later, this is what I came up with
Sorry for the shoddy pics. They are taken with my DSLR like iPad
EDIT: Quick shoutout to @dbrandSkins for their amazing black CF skin

Looks good man. You took the case apart to plastidip it I'm assuming?

GadgetShieldz. Its one of the best I have used. Covers the front entirely and even after months of use, looks brand new. A little tacky, but that is to be expected from wet SPs

Looks great! I've never heard of plastidip but def going to look into it now.

No, but I don't see as much "overuse" of chrome here compared to NY. Here is just maybe the rims, but back in the NE there would be chrome trim up and down the car, emblems, decals, etc...blech...I don't mind chrome to accent, but chrome to showcase is not my style.

Looks freaking gorgeous man. Very nice.
Regards to the dipping, it's more of a matte skin that is applied over the entire car. It's not a paint. You can YouTube videos on premium cars like Lamborghini and such. Looks pretty cool really

Moto maker alternative(INDIA ONLY)

As motomaker is not present in india and we are stuck with only two colour options, so to theme your moto x style you can order a skin form www.gadgetshieldz.in for around 640 inr and change the looks of your phone completely.. I am posting the pics as an image says many words itself
You can order the same or other textures from www.gadgetshieldz.in
Cheers

Wow this is nicely done. Does that make the phone a little slippery?

Yes it does a bit.. But it doesn't feel like the phone will fall down any second...

Why do people think this is ugly?

I think this phone is really, really sharp. I got the silver one and have already found myself looking at it in admiration. It's a really beautiful phone. I don't get why so many people said it was so ugly once the photos of it came out.

How did you get a silver one?

I called my local Verizon and asked what they had in stock. They had one silver one and I asked them to hold it for me. Went and picked it up!

The silver titanium is wonderful! I'm just waiting for my cover to arrive to apply the final details. I give a 9/10 to the look of the phone. and the UI, it might be simple, yet witht he skins/themes it looks very sophisticated (i hope they create at least 300+ themes, or that they allow people to create themes too.

Silver looks so good had to put a clear case on it!

silver is the way to go. Titan is meh. I ordered my unlocked silver and I'll have to wait until end of November, but for the color I'm sure it's worth it

Damn, I wish Sprint had the silver. I always buy silver phones, not sure why really. Think the colors are based on carries stock. Sprint is only selling the Titan color. But, it is what it is. Silver is HOT

Silver is my favorite lately...

I'm still using my Note 7 cause the titan grey is so ugly.

LOL. I dig the titanium grey color. Very understated. Not as plain as black. Not a fingerprint/grime magnet either as some rubberized/plastic/glass phones are either.

I think the burnt color would probably look better.

Tech21 Evo Check

Picked up this case from Verizon ended up being $30 after my discount I absolutely love it. Excellent feel in the hands and doesn't seem too bulky. Worth the money in my opinion wanted to share some pics.

Love this case. I have it in smokey black for my quite black Pixel XL

My only gripe about these cases is that they have terrible button feedback/pressing.

Only my power button is tough but seems to be getting better with usage

Yep awesome case but the button feedback is horrible. Especially the power button, have been using it for a few months now.

The buttons are a bit rigid but the case is so nice in hand that it overshadows that negative

Great majority of them on eBay are fake FYI

Just went and grabbed the black from the Verizon store. Have to admit I like this case the best out of all the ones I've tried this far.
It just replaced my uag case.
