[REVIEW] Rock TPU Case, also protects camera lens! - HTC One X

Bought my case from here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/330710065235...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3991wt_1185
They have different colors. I got the black one. Not bad for $12 with free shipping.
Took 14 days to arrive in Canada. Item actually shipped from Singapore and not Hong Kong (as it says on the ebay page)
Power button and volume rocker are easy to press. Although you wont feel any feedback from pressing these buttons. Typical of any TPU case.
As you can see, the TPU is textured for improved grip.
Rock Logo above the speaker cut out.
Protects the rear camera! No more worrying when laying your phone on any surface.
Front view with the phone. The TPU case extends all the way to the edge of the screen. You can put the phone face down on a table and it wouldnt touch the screen.
Rear view with the phone. You can still see the HTC logo and Beats Audio logo.
A closer look at the camera protection.
Cut outs are perfect for micro USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack and microphone. However, no cut out for the 5pin at the back.
Took the pic on a wrong angle. Cut out is actually perfect.
It comes with a free screen protector. Its not a perfect fit. The sides wont stick since the screen is curved.
Thanks for checking it out!

Been looking at these too. May treat myself. Thanks for the info

Very good Review and good pics!

Just ordered a white one, for £6.55 , should have plenty of grip with all those nobbles.
Thanks.
EDIT : No need for a cut out for the 5 pin connector, it`s just about certain you could not use you phone in the dock with the case on anyway.

Thanks for the review and all the pics, looks like a nice case for the price especially with the much needed protection for the camera lens.

Nice review, just what I was after. Cheers.

Ordered same few days ago, still waiting.

Good pictures mate and I agree its a fantastic case.
It is a touch harder then what I expected.
I purchased the clear, and on white from front and sides it hardly looks like a case, more like a halo or clear glow.
Took 9 days to arrive.

Thanks for the kind comments. I have another tpu case coming. I'll update my original post when it arrives.

You got the white one? I am planning to buy that - can you post some pics and the link where you got from.

Are you able to comment on the grippiness/rubberyness of this? I don't like rubbery feel to cases, I kind of want a hard case... but I also want something with better protection

Nice! Thanks !

Colours came out a bit funky using my dhd but the clear case doesn't mess too much with the look of the X.

They don't advertise it as clear, but as "white" on their eBay page, I assume white = clear?

Love the white/clear Rock case. Might order another one for myself.

Grip is good, definitely gives a rubbery feel. Same as any tpu case I guess.
You wont get any better protection. Hard cases do not cover the top and bottom parts of the phone. Some even dont have lens protection.

Correct. White = Clear

i just bought one too. hope i won't take so long to arrive in germany
took the black one for my grey phone

Just ordered a white one. Any case that doesn't protect the face isn't worth buying imo.
Thanks for the review

I just ordered the black for my white One X, since it's clear it gives it a nice smoky look.

Ooops thanked you by accident with too many forum threads open, lol!
Hope you post photos now

People with the case, wanted to ask if you think the top front edge could be lower, by the camera?
In the photo you can see that the bottom edge curves round the front of the body further than the top.
Does this affect the protection at all? Basically I have a similar cheaper case but the front is a bit too high and does not protect the edge very well. Thanks

dunno about the s2 models, but the pictures for the galaxy note looks like it doesnt provide enough corner protection. when you drop a phone, its 90% likely to land on a corner first, so corner protection is important.

sure, will do.
I got the black mesh yesterday. I really like it. Looks good, feels good. Adds about 2mm to total width. I think it covers corners well enough to protect Pretty well, but it does leave the top and bottom and half of each corner exposed. Sure does squelch the accidental hitting of volume and power buttons, which was a major goal. Fits fine into PU "leather" belt case I got.

To my surprise, the bubble case has arrived today...very fast postage, only took about a week
Anyways....here are some pictures and my thoughts about it, comparing to the Nillkin TPU case.
# The black part of the back of the case is actually of hard plastic material, and the grey sides of the case are of TPU. It kind of remind me of the Commuter Series of Otterbox, but instead of being 2 pieces, it's all in one piece. It does feel cheaper than OtterBox though....well...IT IS...
# It fits the phone really well and covers the edges of the screen a bit better than the Nillkin ones.
# I'm not sure if it is because of the hard plastic at the back...but it is actually quite hard to put the case on without feeling that I might somehow scratch the sides of the phone. But if you don't have a habit of taking the case off frequently, it will not be a problem to you. If you do...then...this will definitely cause you some pain.
# I think the dimensions of this case are a bit wider, longer, and thicker than the Nillkin....but NOT that much.
# The unlock and volume buttons are HARDER to press than the Nillkin case
# The glossy back bubble offers great look and also good grip (surprisingly).
All in all...I am very happy with this case...and personally I prefer this one than the Nillkin because of it's cool looks and the mixed of materials of hard plastic and TPU (somehow I think it might provide better protection).
So, anyways...I hope this helps and also hope to hear others opinions soon...
Feel free to ask me any questions if you have any

Hi DMax!
Thanks for the wonderful review!!! i am sold over it now!
Just wanted to ask if it really is anti-slip, as the note is thin and big, its quiet slippery now.
and also if the back is glossy, do you think its so "glossy" that its going to show up scratches real soon???
Thanks mate!
EDIT:
Do you think this is the same one -

only for US$3.99 with free shipping!
The ebay seller mentions no shipping to India in his listing
EDIT 2:
Bought the white bubble case from Obostore, what the heck, lets see how good this is!: )
Also ordered the Black Mesh case from an eBay seller for US $4.50. hope the quality n fit is good! last time I had a mesh case for my Galaxy S and the rubber coating started peeling off in a months time!!! had to thrown it away as it started looking ugly!
hi everybody!i received today this one:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Black-S-...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item2a1646f046

Wow...3.99 is a very good price...i git mine 9.99 from eBay....im pretty sure they are the same
yep mate, sure sounds a great deal.. as the ebay seller wasn't shipping to India, I started searching other sites for thi, and found it at obostore. I have bought stuff from them before, and they are good.
Will upload pics after I get it. Ordered white here so that if quality isnt good, then can order black from the ebay guy if he agrees to ship here.

Rearth Rinke Slime Case Review

There are many hard cases on the market and most feel like hard plastic shells. This case actually feels like rubber with the stiffness of plastic. It just feels like quality. It also manages to come about 1/4 of an inch further on the bottom and top to cover more area. The cutouts around the power and volume rockers are recessed which make a world of difference when pushing the already almost flush buttons. It also give extremely good grip. I dropped my first galaxy s3 with a casemate on it and that case didn't have any bottom or top protection and my phone suffered. I posted a picture of the damage and the casemate. If it were in the rearth it would have survived without a scratch. I can't say enough how good this case feels in the hand. Its a really slick phone and it needs a grippy case.

Glad to hear a good review. I ordered one of these for my preordered S3.:fingers-crossed:
I ordered this, the casemate barely there, the Nilkin hard case, and I bought an Affinity smoke glass hardshell from Bestbuy that I was planning to return once I got one of the cases I ordered but boy does it look nice. I might keep it. It looks gorgeous.
Is there any angle that would hit the bottom or top edge if you dropped it? like facing 45 degrees forward?

No there isn't unless it falls on a squared edge. Plus the rubbery coating gives extra protection.
if i ever buy a hardcase for my galaxy it will be this one.
glad to hear it works well.
Wow. After this case came, on the website they are giving away lanyard strap with it.......
could you post some pics of the phone with the case on it?
Thanks
Had the Slim on my SII and my Note. Absolutely loved them.
If I had a III this would be the case for me without a doubt.
It's a shame that they don't have any plans to release one for the One X.

Ordered one last night. Never used a case on my Epic 4G but that's because they were a pain to find. Looks thin enough which was my only concern. Didn't want to add on a lot of extra bulk. Thanks

I could but they wouldn't do any justice to the pics on the rearth website.
I bought one of these for my Note. For the $30 I paid for it, I expected more. Why they don't make the plastic go all the way around the bezel is beyond me. I will pass on this one for the S3.
I think it would be fragile, that the reason no cases manufacturer makes a case like this with the bottom and the top covered.
Just ordered mine, thanks for the recommendation.
It took me a while though as I could not find a slime case!

Is there a link for these cases Google isn't bringing up anything

Looks nice but for me cases with volume/power cut outs just feel awkward to me. I much prefer the built in buttons

@falconeight thanks for the suggestion. just ordered from their official site. they're offering free 2-3 day shipping. it can't come soon enough. i'm so stressed that something bad will happen to my new baby!
http://www.rearthusa.com/galaxy_s3_ringke_case
i think it's the size of the phone. large, but thin, that makes me feel like it will not take a fall very gracefully. fingers crossed until the case arrives.
oh also, in case anyone is having problems googling the case... it's Rearth Ringke Slim (the OP is missing a "g" and added the "e" in slime LOL)
This is an advertisement, not a review.
Got my Ringke Slim the other day. Similar to my Galaxy Nexus one, except it doesn't protect the top and bottom and it doesn't come with a screen protector or rubber port protectors. Overall I love it though, very thin. But after receiving my ROCK case, I'll probably use that more often. If you're looking for something that will make it look like you don't have a case on it, this is it.

HTC One Nillkin case

I was looking for a anti-fingerprint screen protector and i stumbled upon this case, it looks amazing, not sure if anyone has this one already and can give us a quick review, its called Nillkin.
Here is the link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Newest-HT...rd-Shell-Cover-Screen-Protector-/370808049120
Im going to order one and give you guys a quick review, it ship almost everywhere around the world, free and fast delivery in the UK and its only £8.00, very reasonable, it also comes with a screen protector so it might be worthy.
Looking forward to some feedback.
here are some photos.
Edit: just placed my order, might get it by mid week next week since its already weekend. will give some review once i got it

I have them all. I also have the Nillkin fold cases like the galaxy case. They are top notch cases, you cant go wrong with nillkin. Probably my favorite case maker.
I bought the white one but have since decided to sell it away because I've finally decided to use my HTC One with a pouch instead of hiding its beauty behind a cover =)

Well, I guess we just have different preferences :laugh:
I've got one in black and its an awesome case, i'd say a better fit and more durable than the casemate cases too.
Two questions before I buy this case:
1) Is there a cut out for the power button or is there an actual button on the case for it?
2) Do these hard shells not damage the phone at all?
Absolutely love this case. Almost looks like the phone was made that way. Doesn't offer the best protection, but if you just care about protecting the back, this is of the best and best looking.

1. its a cut out, look at the ebay post to see more photos
2. i THINK these are high quality plastic, it should not damage the phone
I too have a white nillkin case and their grey flip.
Only problem with the flip is the case is too close to the headphone port, so I have a kld oscar 2 on back order to fix this.
Plus I love the black monolith look, reminds me of the film 2002 a space odyssey.

They fit nicely, I have one but they are not TPU or something like that, meaning if you should ever drop it, the hit would transfer directly to the phone instead of be being distribute thorough out the case

Looks very nice, got myself one. Almost made me want to have the black One lol
wow. 4 dollars? nothing to lose. ill post about it when i receive it.
BTW transit time from china to U.S. was an impressive 7 business days. It actually looks better in person then the picture I posted.
woah nice find! was looking for a change of case and looks like with this case, the power button is gonna be a lot easier to press than my current Belkin Sheer Grip Matte due to the fact that the plastic at the back of the case is slightly lowered where the power button is. Just ordered one for myself and one for a mate. Thanks for posting.
Thats the ONE for the ONE. I also have it and love it. Very sleek, keeps the phone looking the way it was supposed to.
here's a better picture.

Barely big enough to cover the glass screen protector. I think if it is any less then it would be without one. This doesn't add any bulge and maintains the sleek look of the phone

Correct, trim is good enough for its purpose, protection when laying flat on face. A thick trim will not protect the screen from any drop to a rock or any edge, and create a false sense of protection.
The case may feel a little loose when you first get it. I recommend heat it up with blow dryer then quickly dump it in cold water to tighten it a bit.
Does it affect the camera flash? The cutout looks close to the flash. I had a Kays case that had a similar opening and the flash reflected glare into the photos.
I just bought a similar case from Amazon which I prefer because it's transparent. However, your pics gave me an idea on how to mod the case because I don't like how there is not a cutout for the volume rocker. I started to make this mod today actually, but one of your pics shows me that I should cut further towards the back of the case which will give my fingers proper room to hit the volume rocker instead of having to use my finger nails :good:

Spigen Slim Armor - Champagne / Gold version! (Pictures with case on and close-ups)

Two thumbs up for this case thus far.
It is very easy to slide the phone into the case, and it requires just a little extra effort to remove it. The case is a tight fit all around. It feels sturdy and makes the phone easier to hold/grip with its more angular shape. The power button requires just a soft press, while the volume rocker requires twice the effort. The camera lens is protected and embedded ~1.5 mm within the casing.
Not sure if I am forgetting any thing else, but some pictures!

Comparing the thickness between the phone and the case (a little blurry, but you get the picture... no pun intended).
EDIT: Clearer pictures below!
I too got the case today with my Nexus =). I really liked the color and felt it was unique and a nice change from the black and white that every manufacturer seems to be pushing these days. I will agree on the buttons but nothing major. Seems like the phone will be safe should the horrific day arrive when the phone is dropped.
Cheers mates
Looks pretty cool
thanks
I bought the slim armor in black. I really appreciate the photos that you posted if you could post more close ups of the front and back I'm kind of curious about how thick the bezel is on the front mine should be here this week. Kinda wish I got champagne after seeing yours..
I love this quality and type of case. My friend has the same spigen for the S4 and I love the silicon/plastic style case on it. Good to see they made one for the N5.
Thanks for the pictures - mine is being shipped to me we speak . From what you've described/shown, everything looks great! Do you have a screen protector on their by chance? Wanted to know if the sides of the case make it lift off on the corners...
nice. the gold looks sharp, i was spit between that and the neo hybrid....ended up going for the neo-hybrid in gold
the white speaker dot actually looks pretty cool with a case on
FYI I noted in the other thread this case is significantly easier to put on and take off if you leave the two pieces together while doing it.

Hey, no problem. I believe you're asking to see a bird's view of the bezel with the case.
Also took some close-ups of the four sides for anyone who is curious:
Headphone port.
Charger port and speakers.
Right-side with power button.
Left-side with volume rocker.
Ordered the Black, looks like a great case. I like Spigen products.

I agree. The champagne color stands out and has a classy feel to it. Although I have to admit, I also like the white back of the N5. With a case or not, it is a good looking phone!

No screen protector yet. Still waiting for that piece in the mail ...

Solid point! I didn't remove the two pieces at all, which goes to show how easy the installation and removal are.
Nice looking case!
Just a few questions...
What is the back made out of?
Does it collect dust or finger prints?
Does it slide in and out of your pockets easily?
How is the grip?

Thanks for the pictures. I'm glad they didn't go with the glossy back this time around.
I was wondering once you put this case on is it also easy removeble.
Wen i'm driving in a car i put de N5 in a car holder and with de case on i think it's to thick
for that holder.I just slide the phone in the holder.Not much space is there be left on the sides.
Does it work with wireless charger or too thick?

A gorgeous case. I don't know whether to get the white or the gold colour way, both are really appealing.
Did you have any issues with the power button as mentioned in some of the reviews on Amazon?
From past experience, does anyone know what of a case thats for people who drop their phones a lot? One thats out now or coming in the future?
Car mount

I'm curious on this point too. My champagne case should be delivered soon, but as I've just splashed out on (40% off) TomTom, I'd like to be able to mount the N5 on my dash. All my phones in the past have been naked, but since I've paid for this one myself I've got the Slim Armor for "protection". Maybe it's too early for the N5, but looking at other models are there ever solutions for mounting encased phones? Will the case stand up to occasional removal in order to mount on a car dash?
Come to that, has anyone yet seen a dash mount for the N5? Preferably vent-mounted; my last screen mount was broken by an over-eager MOT tester.
Thanks for any response from a forum lurker!
Mike
