sadly, I only need two things for this phone: a new battery cover and a better screen (i got a bad one). Unfortunately this only comes with one of those things, and Im not pain $85 for a battery cover. (not sure Id know how to install a screen even if it DID have one).

80 dollars for a COVER. Not the full housing, just the cover? thats ridiculous. Especially when my student account with amazon ships for free.

yeah, but a heck of a lot better than $80. Ill message the seller and see if he might be willing to negotiate that price some, too. Who knows, some are.
Side note, anybody know of any skins that might cover over the small scratches on my backplate that might be cheaper than $40?

You could try some vynil skins/stickers? Easily found on Ebay too.
Or just get a case to cover it up.

If you have a malfunction of the housing due to manufacturer defect then you can return it for a replacement. My housing was squeaking around the buttons and I'm returning it for that reason, outside of the remorse period. But if your phone is less than one year old (which all of these are) it's covered by warranty. Call Tmo customer support and complain until they give you a new one.

I'd like one just to make it look better...
I'm thinking about getting this phone, and would like a white one IF it wasn't two shades of grey in the back.
I've replaced quite a few housings on phones I've owned (BB Pearl, T-Mo G1, and a T-Mo Mytouch) - my big hesitation would be disassembling a phone that's under warranty, which I haven't done before...
...but a little electroplating, and the metal pieces on the back could be copper color (and matching) instead of mismatched shades of grey.. plus white.. plus chrome on the front (which might also be able to be plated).
Don't know if it's worth $100 plus voiding my warranty... though I'm a big fan of customizing things...

You could just buy another battery cover. The case you're looking only protects that part, anyway. I got a soft-touch back from ebay but I don't think it's available anymore. Makes a huge difference to the in-hand feel. The plastic back feels ridiculously cheap in comparison.

I've dropped my work phone twice and both times the case protected the corners.

Found them on gocellular.ca and it arrived today. Awesome.

Sweet looking official accessories!

Stumbled over this a few minutes ago. They all look pretty amazing IMHO and it's kinda interesting that HTC will be shipping an external battery. Hope that's not an indication of poor HTC One battery life.
Check it out!

maybe im wrong, but i would guess that it's unlikely there will be any bumpers from main manufacturers considering the phone is very thin at the edges and also the fact that it gets narrower at the edges (ie. not constant thickness)

There doesn't seem to be any official pouch at the moment which is unfortunate. I like my phone to be nude when I use it but be protected in my pocket.

Bro, check on http://www.pdair.com they sell high quality leather pouches. I'm like you and I like my phone to be naked and only be covered by a pouch so that people can see the device I have (I know, it sounds kind of egocentric) but also, I like to see my phone as it is, without anything covering it except the screen protector
The products are in production and expected to be released soon, I will definetly get one from them

I'm really loving that HTC is putting out their own accessories as well, I'm personally getting the flip case.
I never use cases for usual usage, but I'd like to have a kickstand since I plan on also using this for a very tiny but very portable working/entertaining interface. Like I usually jot down a few notes about appointments and lectures, as well as I like watching stuff on my phone

flip one looks gorgeous but they should make one without kickstand. they'd be surprised if they know that not many people watch long duration videos on their phones.

[Q] How to clean official bumper?

Hey all. I own a bright yellow official bumper case, and my new wool coat stained it while in the pockets. First off, costs getting cleaned to prevent any more dye staining. Second, I've tried water, oxyclean and scrubbing, but I can't get the stains off the case. Has anyone had to remove ink stains from the bumper before successfully?

They were looking into exchanging until I decided to go for the full refund. Even with a refund, you can just purchase a different one and keep the old one.

It's not stained with ink. These cases stain from the dyes in your pockets transferring to the case.
I called and told Google my case was starting to discolor around the edges and received a refund.

I was refunded for my grey case as it stained inside a day. They didn't argue at all, refunded and told me to keep the case. Pity only the black bumper would actually be usable for real world usage.

Hi everyone. Thanks for responding to my distress. I placed my order for the case on Nov 27 2013. Do u think I could still get a refund now? I saw some of u mentioning abt a one year warranty. I bought the phone and case on separate transaction from Google play.

I was able to contact their customer support and get a refund in the span of about 30 min, which is nice since it has been getting pretty noticable recently. It is to bad as i like the colored cases a lot. Maybe ill just use this one getting discolored for a few months then have a bright red one again in 3-5 months.

Yes, call them or better yet use the website and let them call you back. Just tell them what happened and that the case started to stain and has become unusable and unsightly that while you would expect a light coloured TPU case to get dirty eventually that this case is clearly not fit for purpose as it stained so soon. That the case is at a premium price and that as a result you would expect a premium product which you clearly do not have...they will give you a refund or exchange...if you want/like the black go for that, I dont think any of the others will hold their colour...so if you dont like the black - take the money and run.

Maybe just put a dbrand back on for now until they become available? But doesn't the back need to be taken apart pretty carefully? Meaning taking into account the adhesives and screws because LG made the battery not removable? I know you are looking to replace the back, but that also houses the antenna's and other things. If you do, please post and do a write up or how-to!

Didn't do a DIY but it is fairly straightforward to change it over.

The basics were use a guitar pick to pry round the outside. It should click off. There is some small sticky pads at the bottom of the cover so that takes a bit more prying. Then the new cover just clicks on lol

The sides and earpiece are going to very difficult. Assuming LG used the same stuff they used on the Nexus 4 to adhere the display to the frame you will be very likely to damage the frame. The earpiece also seems to be sandwiched between the frame and the glass according to the ifixit teardown pics.
It would be better and easier to find a display with frame for sale and just move the hardware over that way. But with the price of the display with frame you'd be better off selling your phone and buying a red one.
