So has anyone bought a silicon like case yet. I have been hoping someone would have put up a review for a case by now. So if you have bought a case for the aria where did u get it? And how good is it? Brand-name? Price? Etc.
Thanks in advance!

Got a case from at&t store its great in quality. already droped a few times with no issues. I think its the htc brand one. It cost like 20 bucks but its tougher and firmer than most silicon style cases ive seen. Also not as sticky as most so it slides in your pocket easier. Although its still sticky when its 92 degrees out like it was today.

The Amzer silicone one provides good protection but is bulky and does not fit snuggly on the phone. I could imagine the phone slipping out of the case to indicate how loosely it fits.
When I picked mine up from the AT&T store, they had a pretty nice soft shell case for $25. It was nice looking, fit the phone well (I almost couldn't get the thing off), and looked like it would provide decent protection. I skipped on buying it, however, since the price seemed a bit steep.
i just went to the ATT store today and they had a glossy black (maybe gunmetal) hard case for the aria, it was 25 bucks and i didnt feel like spending that much when i could get the same online for cheaper, but it did look nice.
didnt get a chance to put it on the phone though.
also, it was in a package that said soft case.
I love how this phone feels like it already has a case on it! I haven't dropped the phone (yet, thankfully) but If i did i would be too distraught. I just want to be able to buy a replacement back cover (OEM) for less than $30.

yeah, it is the case that says HTC on the back, and its the only one they have. its horrible, and very troublesome to unlock the phone.

It's a nice hard-ish version of your typical silicone case. It's actually really good and sturdy and my only gripe is that it's a pain to unlock it.. so I use No Lock, which allows you to unlock the phone with any button...the optical touchpad has become my new best friend
AS ANYONE TRIED USING A HD MINI SILCON CASE, OR DOES ANYONE KNOW IF IT WILL FIT. aS WELL AS PRESSING THE UNLOCK BUTTON. damn caps lock sorry

The Amzer silicon case purchased actually says HD Mini on its packaging. It is quite a loose-fitting case. The one from AT&T, which is more of a plastic smoke translucent case, fits very snuggly with the only downside that it's $25. It says HTC on its back and the silver HTC logo of the phone itself shows through nicely.

Don't have the case anymore, but you can fit an index finger between the case and the phone without much effort.

I just bought my wife a case from pdair for the hd mini and it fits great. The have a number of good colors and its snug as a bug.
It's a very durable silicon skin. Comparable to the one from at&t but its actually easier to push the buttons with the pdair case. So its confirmed for me: hd mini cases work great for th aria.

Hum.. I'm thinking about picking one up. I wish Otterbox had a case for the Aria. I'm prone to dropping my phone, so I want something that will protect it from at least minor falls.
The second most important thing, (after the phone of course) when buying a phone, to me is accessories! I love 'em and they definitely influence my decision on which phone I'm gonna purchase. I made this thread for people who share a similar interest like me to their accessories. So, share your personal favorite accessory brands/items for your phones! This could also help out some unfortunate people having a hard time deciding between accessories.
Mine Are....
• Screen Protector
Brand- Steinheil: Their screen protectors are the best out their, although pricey ($13.99 for clear & olephobic, $16 for fine), they offer 3 options (oleophobic, ultra clear & ultra fine). My favorite is the ultra clear
• Cases
Brands- Case-Mate, Otterbox, Speck, Incipio
Of the 4, case-mate is probably the cheapest if you don't posses an iPhone. Their cases, to me, kinda imitate the others cases in a way but with their own twist. They have a lot of creative designs as well. I love all their silicone cases. Vroom series being my favorite. Otterbox is my favorite of the 4. They have the best protective cases out on the market (Their also is Trident. I hear Trident cases are good but they look bulky/ugly & i've never owned one). The defender is the most protective which is a hard polycarbonate outer shell which a silicone case wraps around. Then, you have Speck. I love their pixel skins which are really thick silicone cases with a checkerboard pattern engraved throughout the case. I also love their Candy shell's which are hard colorful glossy cases with a soft silicone layer on the inner part. Then there is Incipio, with their wild and thick, gaudy Dermashot cases which are all silicone. I prefer their extremely thin low profile Feather cases to case-mates Barely Their. I think their much higher quality and fit better.
Well, there you have it. Anyone else care to share?
I think Clarivue makes the best screen protectors

I have tried theirs, and they are really good. But, I think the Steinheil ones have a better texture and are a little more "not there" feeling.
All I got is a bodyglove case and a car charger. Thats all my local AT&T store has for now.

I'm using the Incipio Feather case (RadioShack) which I don't mind, but I would like to get an Otterbox Commuter. I only use anti-glare screen protectors which AT&T carries for the Atrix. I also use a Motorola external battery pack that I picked up at a Verizon store. Also, Verizon carries a Droid X Extended Battery (Motorola BH6X) which just happens to be the same one that the Atrix uses, so I have a spare battery as well.

Yeah, just google "Droid X Extended Battery" or "Motorola BH6X" and you should find it cheaper online. Just make sure it is the BH6X model number.
If you do get it from Verizon, it will be the one that comes with an extra back plate for the Droid X.

I just bought the Otterbox Impact for my Atrix.
It's the first case I've ever bought for a phone. I wanted something that would protect it in case the phone slipped out of my hand. It came with a screen protector and I'm not too critical about the quality of those since I haven't used it for that long, so it's fine for now.

Anyone have any recommendations for some good gel casing, just got my phone about 2 weeks ago but not looking for any hard casing for the bulkiness , just a nice gel case to protect if any fall damage
I wouldn't call it gel, but I have the ringke case and it's fantastic. You can find a coupon code online and only pay $10, free shipping.
http://www.rearthusa.com/HTC-ThunderBolt_p_156.html
Second on the Ringke case. It's been excellent.
The silicon case they sell at the Verizon store has worked well enough for me. Make sure to get the glossy one, otherwise it will pick up pocket lint.
read reviews and im hooked with it, got the price down to 13.00 with only working coupon code i found weare2cool, got the audio jacks seeing i never use them, hopefully it was a good buy ^_^
The only problem I found with the Ringke is it covers the sensor a little bit.

Mine doesn't?
Is the ringke case just a plain silicone case or is it like the TPU material that does't gather lint? I am looking for cases but the silicone ones get stuck on things when my phone is in my pocket and pulls things out of my purse with it. Haha.
Ringke case FTMFW! I was one of the lucky ones that was sent a free one and I LOVE it. If it actually ever stretches out, Ill be buying another one and Id recommend it to anyone thats not looking for something bulky.
This is the review I wrote on it

OH! Yes, it does cover up the proximity sensor a little, but I personally cut a tiny triangle where the sensor is. It didnt ruin the "Structural Integrity" of the case so to speak, but my sensor works perfect.
I got the Ringke but to me it seems just like scratch protection witch is not bad, but i rather have protection from a drop, the glass on TB is easy to break iv fixed a few of these. I might just stick to my insideo case i have for now. But the ringke is very nice.

sorry to butt in on the thread here, but is there a gel case for the Seidio extended battery to or just the stock?
Bought one!
Hello friend,
If you want to protect your phone from any damage, then at amazon.com you can find the excellent quality of HTC thunderbolt case that will give you 100% protection from any kind of damage.
the "gel" case they sell at the verizon store for the stock TB is decent. however, if you have an extended battery, do not get the ones on amazon for $12.99 that they offer in multiple colors. i got the black one and it feels kind of loose(especially around the extended battery and the sides) + it's not cut correctly in back where the kick stand comes out and it's a bit of a pain to use the kick stand.
i'd like to find a good quality one for the extended battery... possibly even that mugen 4500 battery if i end up getting that(which i probably will eventually)
Try handhelditems.com they have cheap and good cases

Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next

I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say
I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.
Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.
So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

Hi,
Just got another m7,but this ones in black,looks like its heavily prone to scratching,a hell of a lot more then the silver one,i knew that anyway but its really easy to do
the m7 is a good looking phone so dont want uglify it with some ebay tpu case or something silly
just looking for a nice slim black case,matte ideally
or the other option a protective skin..all body and screen if its around?
Suggestions welcome lol this will be my first m7 ive had to case but in reality it needs it for the black ones
Diztronic has some pretty nice matte cases
Personally I use a UAG case for its drop protection and slim design
Don't buy a case, buy a pouch if you need to protect your phone.
It's protected completely, so you can toss it in the backpack or wherever, and it's "naked" while in use - best of both worlds.
When I bought my Silver one, i bought it because of its awesome design. Then after about 1 week, fear in me won and I bought 2 cases - Belkin - i don't recommend this one, as it doesn't copy htc one deign very well, next was Incipio Frequency in black color. First month-or two it was ok, but then volume buttons started squeaking when pressed. It just lose it's tightness, and I must say, that i didn't put my phone in and out very often...
Then i bought chaeap PU leather pouch from ebay, which I use till now (10 months). I am even thinking about stop using the pouch as well.
Don't be fool like me, and don't spend money on those ugly cases, don't forget why did you buy this awesome phone, because of design !

Hey, sorry for the late answer.
At the moment I am using this one (black colour):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/11-Color-Ne...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2c8351f9be
The only downside is, that after about 10 months, the corners and edges started "chipping" off the pouch, as it's PU leather. If they were available in my country, I would go either for Bugatti or Sena leather pouches Sena is probably one of the best for M7 (according to reviews). Dad has Bugatti for his Iphone 5s, and it's excelent pouch
I like it might try order one
Hi,
I know you have put ideally UK, I'm from the UK I bought my HTC One M7 Black in November 2014 and the case the previous user was using was a see through gel case, it protected the phone but didn't look good.
Just before xmas I ordered this case:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UltraThin..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item51c54186c6
Its from hong kong, which I wasn't happy with but there is no UK Seller selling this case. It took just over a week to come but its a top case, protects the phone, feels good in the hand and looks good got a matte black finish.
i use a leather case to protect my htc one m7, but now i looking for a clear case to uncover the gorgeous :fingers-crossed:
