[Video Review] HTC One Double Dip Flip & Double Dip Hard Shell Review - One (M7) Accessories

Double Dip Flip Case Review
A lot of people overlooked the fact that the cover does come down over time. If you don't wanna wait you can just put the phone face down overnight.
Double Dip Hard Shell Review
Nice case but you could easily scratch your phone taking the One in and out of the case.
I'll be picking up an HTC One once it hits the USA so I'll do another more indepth review once I get it. Importing is just way too expensive...

I got the flip case free with my phone. It seems like the cover joints just needs a bit of loosening over time. Mine closes almost instantly now.
That being said I don't feel like it offers the best possible protection. Got my eyes open for a better case.

Thanks for the review ... :good:
suppose i´ll pick one up ...
THX :good:

The flip case looks great and the cover does come down over time, mine happened in about 2 days. The only problem i have with the case is that it doesnt offer full protection and during calls i have to occasiaonnly take the phone out of the case as the Mic hole doesn't line up with the phones Mic hole 100% :l

WARNING
I dropped my phone that was housed in the double dip case, the flap came open and landed face down resulting to scratches and dents to the speaker housing, gutted

I have both the hard shell case and the double dip case. I think they are both good cases, the double dip flip case doesn't really protect the full phone but is good for its stand. The hard shell case is a bit bulky and the colours are crap (why not one solid colour?) but it really gives complete protection... Other than the screen, which is ok because I think the lip is big enough to protect it from a drop...

I've ordered the flip case with the HTC free offer, but I feel like I won't be using it for long. I'll be looking for a better case while using the flip case as a temporary solution. I guess it would be very useful in the plane.

You should try reviewing accessories with a REAL phone next time...

Are you going to import it from Europe for him? If that's what you're offering, I'll review any case you want.

Thanks for backing me up bro. Also, to the OP: I'm going to be picking one up from VZW if it comes out. If not, I'll maybe use a TMo Prepaid plan with it.

I had the Flip case, but I got a refund on it as i didn't feel it protected the phone without being a hindrance. Also, nobody could hear me due to the microphone not lining up all the time. As it cost me £25 I felt it was not justified. I am going today to purchase the normal double dip case to try (non flip).
Wish me luck!

So is the consensus to keep this thing a safe distance from the phone at all times? I'm glad mine won't be costing me anything. I guess I should thank HTC, sort of?

This clearly not for drop protection, its too think in the back and little protection in the front. Not sure if that case is for me.

You may just wanna pick up a generic TPU or maybe something nicer from Diztronic or Cruzerlite. The i-Blason cases look high quality compared to their previous cases, but I'm not sure.

Why they didn't felt line thus case its beyond me. It slides onto an aluminum phone... Hard plastic... GREAT IDEA

Did anybody order the double dip hard shell from amazon. I seen a couple sellers from the uk it says it'll be shipped 18-26 days but when i put it in my cart it says i should receive it april 15. I just dont want to order it and dont get it until after the phone comes out. I also noticed a couple sellers from ny on amazon but i wasnt sure if the case was official or not. I dont see why it wouldnt be official tho since the case just came out.

I got mine here, delivered after one day but it had a dodgy moulding on the back piece, I emailed and they sent another one the next day.

Verizon Motorola DROID X Snap-In Belt Holster - Yes Its Real

Hey guys, i got this in a few days ago so I can verify it fits the MOTOROLA DROID X not the Samsung that the description says.
You can even tell by the part # that it is made for the DROID X. Why Verizon has it screwed up I dont know, but it is the ONLY face-in snap-in holster I have found.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=46229
Enjoy, I will post pics of it on my phone in a bit.
They have a better one that comes with a back shel also
It is called shell/holster combo for $30
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
I have the holster. It's a little flimsy and I'm probably going to replace it with the Seidio. As for the holster shell combo, it sucks. I had it for my incredible and it gets loose.

Check out this one...

I like that better because it comes with the protective case, and its a clip on.
That's the one I had, it's made by Amzer. It doesn't protect the top of the device either. Mine fell out of the holster and dinged up the top of my phone.

I have this one and hope it loosens up over time. Right now, it takes two hands to get the phone out of the holster because it's so tight. It works great for me though, no worrying about the phone falling out of the holster.

I might have to get this one then, if its that tight.
I work at an auto parts store so im constantly moving around, brushing up against greasy things or crawling under people's cars so I need some protection for my phone. How is the quality of the case?
Also, does the case wrap around the front of the phone? I mean if I lay the phone face down will the screen touch or will the case protect it?
Yes, the case does wrap around the front enough to keep the glass off the counter when you lay it down. Both the shell and the hoster are rigid with a rubberized feel.
It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone like some cases I've looked at, so the phone is pocketable when you want to go without the holster.
I picked mine up in my Verizon store, so would recommend you stop at one and ask to see it on an X.

yea im going out tomorrow to buy that thing. it was exactly what I was looking for... I need a good screen protector too, as i usually have dirt and grime on my hands from dealing with car parts. I heard Vzw screen protectors suck and dont even cover the whole glass. Any recommendations?

Yes i have this holster. Just picked it up yesterday. And it seems secure and I liked the look and the feel of it in my hand. Just didn't like that it left the top of the phone exposed. In the holster its protected though. Its when you take it out it seems like it could possibly get dinged at the top of the phone if it fell. Otherwise it seems pretty cool. Im looking to see if someone comes out with a holster that includes complete coverage of the phone and holster combo. I think they didn't cover the top because the antenna is located there. Not sure but just a theory.

The screen protectors we talk about in this thread (the SGP Crystal Clear ones) are the best by far, and they also have the anti-fingerprint ones too.

Galaxy Note Offical Flip Case and Flexishield Reviews

I got my hands on both of these cases and did a quick review if anyones interested. I have to say im impressed with the official flip case, its the one i use on a daily basis atm.
http://droid-den.com/accessory-reviews/official-samsung-galaxy-note-flip-cover-review/
http://droid-den.com/accessory-reviews/samsung-galaxy-note-flexishield-case-review/
that is great, i was on the fence with the flip cover for a bit, thank you for going the extra bit and getting both!
I had the craziest of ideas but do you think with a little bit of patience and modding that you would be able to put a slice in the gel case and slip the back cover of the flip case through it and use both?
I am not sure when ill next be able to buy another phone seeing as this one started WWIII at my house and i think i may need to really baby it, i also think if its possible we might be able to use the gel case somehow to hold the flap down, tiny magnets, who knows, im just curious if you think this is possible
Flip Case is great, works like a dream and it's raised case protects the Camera Lens, unlike the factory fitted back, one slight issue is that the Note will not slip into the 'Official' car mount when it is in the Flip case. You can snip a bit from the case to help but due to the extra width (... ;-) ) it stands proud on the one edge.

Ha, I actually tried this but must have forgot to mention it in the review. No modding required it does fit in. The case warps very very slightly on the left side where the flip case joint is, but it works reasonably well though!
Not sure about holding the flap down, but it only slightly lifts itself up, it sometimes lifts very high, but just pressing it down is enough to keep it down
I am thinking about using both cases togather , would you send a picture please for using them togather ?
Been using my flip case for a couple of days. I wasn't sure at first but love it now.
Feels like part of the phone.

I'm thinking of just cutting the front flap and glue the side leather on top of the gel cover's side, close to the back cover's side, so it will have full range of motion. Reuse the original backcover for better fit. Then just a tiny velcro patch on the other side to keep it closed.

I don't think so, to be honest I'm not really a fan of gel cases anyway so I wouldn't buy any. Flexishield ones are the most popular gel ones tho

Good idea, its better to keep the full range, because I would hate the flip cover if it didn't flip all the way around.

Please post pictures how you do that and what glue you use for it to hold for long time, and look aesthetic.
I would like to do the same probably
been using the flip case for about nearly a month now in tropical weather, and the edges of the flip top have "melted" and become sticky. ugh!
have been using it for the past 3 days since i got my phone, the edges of the thin silicon lining peeled off. Soon the leather cover is gonna go in a matters of weeks.

original flip case ..Anyone found a solution for the cover ?

My original case (whick I think is brilliant but has a big manufacturing fault)is starting to fall apart at the edges as with most other users.I thought about applying super glue or tape but wanted to see if anyone was able to solve the problem before I begin experimenting.

Very true ,I wondered how the people who made such a good device can make such a bad cover for the case ,problem is it is very practical and does not add size ,I have the Zenus case also but I prefer the Samsung which is falling apart!
I bought a I would recommend going for a full body skin as the full body protectors give the same protection that a case does but without the added thickness.
My flip cover went through the same as yours, I superglued it but even then it kept coming off.
BTW... I went to the samsung store to see if they had the MHL adaptor, there was a galaxy note booth and the guy there wanted to ask me if I had any grievances...
Told him about the flip cover and the lack of gorilla glass (dont you get me started on that ) The guy later came home and collected my flip cover and said its being sent to samsung and i should hear a reply from them in 2 months... have NO idea what that was about... dont use it anyway so gave it to him...
Yeah, paid $45 for mine. It's cheap junk but a good idea.

At least this flip cover back is thick enough to protect the camera lens better than the stock thin battery cover which doesn't.
Woah~ got mines as a bonus w/ phone. Going on 2 wks old and still intact but the back cover pops out once a while. Not as annoying yet, however I already ordered my Zenus leather case.

And anyone looking for WHITE S-pen replacements, then ebay seller shimshop has some.
I thought I was one of the lucky ones also but unfortunately sooner our later the case goes bad.

Yep, me too. Put it on the day i bought the note (sometime in November - release day UK) and it's still like new! Admittedly, being winter, i have only put it in the inside pocket of a jacket or coat. Maybe it has a chemical reaction to jeans!

I have the Original flip cover too, and yes I Love it too. The edges are wearing, I thought by now someone would have made an aluminum flip case. Thought about ordering the aluminum battery case, but I want the front to be the same and work like the Original flip case.
Somehow leather products with "glued" edges do fall apart quite easily. Happens to ladies' handbags all the time!
As for how to fix it, the answer is simple: blanket stitching!

[Q] Official Case - Bad Review - your recommendations please!

MrThaibox23 has put a youtube video clip reviewing the Official HTC One Genuine Hard Shell Case with Cover and he certainly does not recommend it. Unhappy with fit and poor quality and bad value for money.
Still waiting for my HTC One and am reluctant to cover the beauty of the design so the questions are:
Cover it with a case Yes / No
Recommend or warn us off any case you bought.
Many thanks and over to you.
I actually like the case and im using it right now
I got the case free from Vodafone with the HTC One and I think it's pretty good, for a free case that is.

Do you Talk about the flip case or hardshell?
I had this microphone Problem with the flip case and solved it by making the hole for the microphone on the case bigger.
Not just me then, yes I refer to the flip case. Not the sort of quality you expect from a 'premium' official case. If I wasn't amazingly impressed with the phone I'd be letting rip at HTC!
Its a shame the screen wouldn't come on as you flip the case over though!
The flip case is okay, poor quality though.
I also got the official flip case for free with my phone. I was really disappointed with it. OK I got it for free but seriously HTC... Couldn't they make a decent official case for their incredibly beautiful save the company flagship phone. They should have used proper leather and included some magnets to keep it closed and wake the screen when opened like Samsung do with their case.

Yup had this problem as well. I was so confused when people told me they couldn't hear me.
Whilst a terrible case it's better than what I got free with the last 3 phones.
But if I had paid cash for it I would not be terribly pleased.

i have the double dip hard shell case on fine and find the fit is quite loose on the phone, the other thing that really bugs me is that the volume buttons dont work correctly. i have found that there is very little tactile feedback and that you then tend to press the buttons harder which then causes the area of the case around the buttons to miss shape..very poor which is a shame as i actually really like the overall look etc of it.
Anyone else found this or could i just have a bad case?
I think I'll get hard shell case.

The flip case is great, the only down side is that the microphone hole in the case doesn't line up 100% of the time and when making calls sometimes I have to take the phone out of the case for the person to hear me

My mate called me on his the other day, I kept telling him I couldnt hear him.
It turned out to be the HTC official flip case hole, as per other posts on here!
Luckily mine was free, but he paid £24 for it!! It's going back....
Personally if you look the hole on the outside is ok, but it tapers inwards and is like the tip of a needle inside, you could easily make it larger with a paperclip or jewellers screwdriver.
Although for £24, you shouldnt have to.

Zizo Bolt Cover is not well-made.

Just received the Zizo bolt cover case. It looks nice but that is about it. I did a short Youtbe video and left a review on Amazon. I was going to leave it at that but the return/exchange policy was so bad I wanted to share this with you guys. Overall the case feels like cheap plastic. For the price I wasn't expecting much so that was not the reason for my return. The kickstand does not sit flush on my particular case. When the kickstand is closed only one side sits flush. I figured they would send me a prepaid label so I could return it in hopes that the replacement wouldn't have the same issue. The box itself came in a flimsy bag. the bag was intact but the box was torn. just a heads up guys!!!
One thing I want to mention is that I wish companies would make a standard and a premium case. All the 10 to $20 look and feel cheap. I am going to get a real leather case for it but I wish someone would make a rugged case made out of hard rubber/plastic and metal.

Maybe it was one bad case in the bunch. I have been playing with my kickstand to see if it goes in flush all the time and it does. I got the orange one. It is a nice color and case. The screen protector that came with it is pretty good too.
I figured it was just a faulty unit and figured they would have no problem replacing it. They are making new pay for return shipping and for a box to return it in. This is the video I shot to show the issues and the confirmation of the box damage.

I'm seeing other people report that the charger doesn't work with the case on, can you confirm?

I didn't even get to test that out before I returned mine. I did hear they were aware of that issue and were sending out replacements. That informal came from an Amazon review I read.

I'll try to snap pics later, but I can confirm that my zizo bolt ordered from Amazon on 11/15, fits perfectly. I can charge, and use headphones with the case on without any issues.

I personally think that it is well made. Seems sturdy, and everything works as it should. Plus it looks nice. I don't use the holster, but it seems solid for those who will use it. Also the included tempered glass screen protector is pretty nice

Not well means that mine came out of the box defective. The kickstand does not lay flush with the case on my unit. I did an out the box video review that demonstrated the issue. As with ever product especially first production run there will be more QC issues. I just happened to get a defective until.
did you had yours replaced?

They made me pay for return shipping, tracking and a box to send it in. I am not going to risk that again.
i feel you man... hopefully new batches are all ok... but heck, you shouldn't pay a dime for the return coz of their mistake. tsk tsk
