I have a krusell on order at the moment. Will post here with impressions when i get it.
It seemed to be about the best available. There isnt much available for the HTC one. Its a very good phone, but i'm not sure that the sales have been enough for makers like Ballistic or Otterbox to do versions of their premium water resistant cases for it.
I think due to the front speakers, It's really hard for them to make some waterproof/resistant cases.......
:crying:

You would be more happy buying a camera actually meant for this. You can find a waterproof Olympus that takes better pics than the phone for $80-100 on Amazon, or an even better used one on eBay.
Just had krusell case delivered.
Looks nice, But, in the case you can press the volume or on/off button.
Am going to use the Team 7 Kernel that has Flick to Wake and see how things go.

I was really keen on this at one stage. Then Choice Magazine (in Australia) did a review. Lost interest pretty fast at that point.
Its actually not a spray. Apparently they put the phone in a chamber, introduce a vapor , and rack up the temp.
Actually, given the HTC One doesn't come apart i dont think it would be do-able.

Its at work at the moment and i'm not there till thursday, but will try and remember.
Having had it now, i'm actually a bit disappointed. I'm sure its waterproof, but the design with the locking "ring halves" means that side buttons are very hard to access. Having had it in hand it doesn't actually seem to be any better protection than one of the waterproof "bag" style cases like Dicapac and makes the side buttons less accessible than on one of those.
Also, in a larger bag style i would be able to use the normal, drop resistant hard shell case as well.
That said, the touch screen in the krusell works ok, and sound through the silicon is fine. Photos through the clear section on the back are ok, but noticeably worse than out of the case.

The rain/wind resistance listed on their website is conspicuously absent from the packaging the One's case comes in. On the plus side, it does feel like it would survive a throw from a moving vehicle now. The UAG though much prettier, smaller and lighter seems almost flimsy in comparison to this tank of a case.

About time, Trident makes much better cases than Otterbox.

I cant wait to see the case for this phone to come out. By the way anyone have a forum or site to find updates on when the release may come out?? i really dont wanna spend $30 on a case-mate tough and then a week later have that come out.

A slim one like this for the e4gt would be sick!
still waiting for Ballistic to release an HC case for this phone..
lots of people really want a large, protective case for this thing, and there is nothing out there yet..Case mate tough case is nothing compared to a Ballistic, when it comes to total protection...
What...do you think you own an Iphone4? A guy at work as an Iphone4 in some god awful case that makes it look like an 80's cell phone. I guess at the gym he can skip the bicep and tricep work out, his phone and case will take care of that.
I'm happy with a TPU case and screen protector. That has worked well for my Incredible and EVO. But hey. if you are out in the field and climbing on and in equipment, I can see that a tough case would be nice.
Well, I get the dropsies now and then, plus, the phone will fall out of my sweat pants/short pocket on occasion, so I like to get the ballistic case, and use it without the rubber outside protection; sort of like a slimmed down Otterbox when you use it that way..
if I am going traveling, or out for long periods of time, then I will use the rubber outer layer...
looks tight!!
i will get the red one ASAP when it comes out
I like to switch up my cases depending on the occasion. I'll usually rock a tpu but if I'm working in the field or out at the bar I'd rather switch over to something a bit beefier

HI guys.
I took some photos of my GN with Skinomi carbon skin.
Does it make it more grippy? I got a case because the phone always felt like it was going to slip out of my hands, but I when the desktop and car docks come out I am probably going to want them, so a case is a no go. I've had full body skins on previous devices but always thought they looked bad and easily peeled, but these carbon fiber ones look pretty good.
Corners dont tend to stick down. I had it on my tab and took it off. Lol

Really have to put some heat to it in order to get the corners to stick. I put the black carbon skinomi on my Tab 7+ and a few seconds with a hot hair dryer, poof, good to go. I'm still waiting on the same carbon for my VZW Nexus. Jesus that place is the slowest on shipping.
Anyone know if the extended battery is going to be an issue with the skinomi for the Nexus?

I would actually argue that the carbon Skinomi makes it LESS "grippy", but protected. It really made my Tab 7+ look sweet. Should be getting the skin for the Nexus today.
I too, am waiting for someone to get a freaking car dock(not a ****ty piece of plastic). With LTE being such a battery drain, I can't believe Verizon is selling a "navigation" mount that can't charge the phone.
That looks really good.
It definitely does look good. I like how they even have some skin for the camera slot. My only peeve, from what I see, are the way the skin corners are. I understand why they did it like that (for ease of installation), but having that little bit of area open just turns me off. Corners are usually the part of the phone that hits the floor or whatever first - at least for me.

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.

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 have an O'Box Commuter and am receiving a Reveal and the official car dock today. I will take pictures of the phone with both cases in the dock (assuming they both fit).
I got my Reveal case a couple days ago and I have to admit, I really like it! I bought a case from Motorola. A clear snap on hard case and took it off right away. I also got a Bear Motion case on Amazon that I never used. This reveal case has stayed on since I got it! The blue matches perfectly with the royal blue back of my phone. Thanks guys for the recommendation on this case.
just got my reveal today.
really nice case!!
cost $20 on ebay, which is not really cheap for a case. but i had a cheapo "cimo s-line" on my phone before that that cost me like $3-4. this is much nicer looking, the buttons click better and its actually feels slightly smaller in hand. it really is a small case.
i think its worth it, feels a little better and looks much nicer (the s-line case looked terrible). given im a klutz who manages to knock my phone off a table or something nearly every day it seems like a case was needed. (probably dropped my moto x like 4-5 times this week...)
fit and finish on the reveal is perfect. some part of me wishes i had a phone that wasnt just black weave now, to show off with the see through part.
i do have to say one thing.
this case the clear part scratches up really easily. i put the phone + case my desk plastic side down and there were a ton of fine scratches. tried to polish them out with some meguirs plastx that i had (works great on car dash guages by the way) and it made even more. yes its a case, and its made to be scratched, but be aware the ones wth these hard plastic finishes seem to scratch up quick

The power support aire jacket case has some self healing coating on it that seems to not scratch as easy as the Griffin. I have both and the air jacket is higher quality. My reveal came in the box with lots of scratches straight from Motorola.

You're asking a question and in the sentence after that you're answering your own question assuming something.
Most of these things have no problem with water.
Lol.. I was just thinking aloud. I wouldnt have asked if I didnt want clarification. Cause you know.. Usually when you have real wood or leather products you dont usually submerge them in water. Droplets I can see it handling no problem but I just had the thought come across my mind before I drop ~$35 on a back which could potentially get ruined after one instance of trying to show off the novelty of our water resistant phones.

Hmm I see, well I guess it depends what the manufacturer uses, some use real wood and some just use a texture to make it look like real wood, but in the end it would just be plastic or some sort.
Has anyone had the pleasure of ordering one of the skins from this company yet? I just recently got my dbrand skins and they were not what I was expecting. Still very slippery and the material is very unsatisfying. Can anyone clarify the feeling/quality of the skins from OP's company?
leather back
I have the black leather back on my white Z3 compact. It looks and feels like leather, not at all like DBrandz (which I also have). It has improved the grip and texture so much that I don't use a case if I have a lanyard attached. It's much thicker than any of the other skins which are plastic rather than leather, although at a push you can still add a case for extra protection on those occasions when it's needed without removing the back.
It was expensive to buy, and I paid an extra £18 to get it through UK customs but this single item has vastly improved the economics of the Z3 for me, which until now has been the single most disappointing thing with my Z3.
---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------
Just as an after thought, I wouldn't go swimming or take it in the shower with this back on as I suspect it's leather, but would be fine out in a bit of rain.
Also for those wondering about the logo 'colors' it's just printed on and would be easy enough to remove or even cover over with a black felt tip pen.
10/10 for me.
