i contemplating getting the huawei with steel link band(i dont like the look of the mesh band).
i was wondering how easily does the watch and steel link pick up scratches?
it would drive me crazy if it scratches easily.
Thanks
I have the black stainless steel both watch and band. Have been wearing the watch for almost couple months. I think it's holding up ok. Now that you asked, I took a close look at the band and I don't see anything that makes me go, WTH? So, in my book, that's a big pass
thanks for the reply
glad to hear it holds up.
now to decide between the black/black band or stainless w/ metal band.

It was not an easy decision for me. Not by a long shot. Here are the pictures I posted when I opened the box on day one! Enjoy!

yeah i saw the pics you posted
it does look SEXY that's for sure.
how is yours holding up to scratches and overall wear?
given my a few knocks and seems to be spotless still, still a sexy beast(black stainless)
YES. It does I was just about to come here and ask aswell. I've had my silver one for a week and a half and it's already covered in micro scratches. And I used a special cleaning cloth for it, it didn't help.

It does. It stings for a minute. But what do you expect from stainless steel? The watch still shines obviously. But when you have a good eye site and pays attention to detail, why yes you can definitely tell. I'm not going to trip though if it gets really bad to the point it's not shiny then it's as simple as using something to take away the scratches and it'll go back to NEW. Unlike black, ones that scratches there goes the paint

I bet they could be buffed out by a local Jeweler.
By polishing. This steel is really delicate.

Indeed!
So far with my aftermarket band and stainless steal body I still do not have even micro scratches. Not that I am hoping for them but I did hit the bezel against some materials hard than I would have liked and there is no evidence of scratching.
I got the stailess steel one and its all scratched on the upper side . I gave up feeling bad about that, just accepted the fact that it gets scratched, still shiny but I can see the scratches.

my silver watch is all scratched up on the outside to.. any way to fix it?
It's stainless steel.. If you take it to a jeweler they can polish it and get most of the scratches out. I have a stainless steel Rolex and get it serviced every few years. It always goes in scratched to hell and comes back to me looking brand new pretty much.

I bought one from Amazon and it's "okay" to say the least i much prefer the one i got directly from T-mobile. but they are nice. but i work in the Automotive industry so i need something that i can put down on a tool box or a stainless steel top and not worry about it scratching up my battery door.
i guess it's like Epik for Blackberries.

I have the hard plastic case with the kickstand made on the back. I know they are expensive but i have a 14mth old daughter and it helps to keep her quite when we go out. put on Sponge Bob or similar put the phone out of reach and she is a quite as a church mouse.
i'm gonna pop for it. at 5 bucks flat its probably the best deal for the TPU style cases. since TPU i think requires like 4 dollar shipping so it comes out to like around 10 bucks. and i do like the 2 tone flat with gloss cause the flat parts are for grip.
This case is a must order...the pictures do not give it justice..i will post video in a little bit...

Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
so far its pretty good. the styling is pretty god and the sides are dimpled gripping. the rear is flat black which makes it have a contrasted look with the flat and gloss. the power button is a bit hard to press but its not too ridiculous. though the one thing is normally when you plugged in your usb to charge you always got a noticeable click like it was fully setting into place. now because of the case you kinda have to jam it into the opening so it stays cause the case adds about 1-2 mm of fatness. most likely its cause of the size of the usb head. other than that i'm very pleased. comes from Pasadena, CA so if your in socal it'll come to you with-in a day. and for 5.10$ shipped you cant really get anything better.

Not that it helps with your particular inquiry, but there's a new phone where the outer shell is made from bamboo. That's awesome

It certainly is a more sustainable option vs. plastic or aluminum IF it offers the same function and performance. But in the meantime, we have cases that look like wood

1. No they dont get nasty. I have one on my galaxy tab 10.1 and it still looks good to me. If they do look nasty to you then you can probably just wipe it down with a damp paper towel or whatever and it should look as good as new.
2. No sticky residue either, it is much like peeling off a screen protector, if you do find some residue left over just a quick wipe and it would come off.
3. Depends on what kind of wood they are looking for...

Too flashy for me... But that's just me. There's also a detailed review around here somwhere about the premium aluminium case that is pretty similar, only matt black. In my opinion that's a lot better suited
Then again, it's just me. If you're wondering about protection, then I suppose it does offer quite a lot of it
In my experience metal casing never feels comfortable in the hands, at least on mine never did. All those edges starts to hurt your hands in long usage :/

I like the look of these bumper cases, but I don't like their size (width/height). I think they don't fit in my pockets.
No way i would put that on my Note its metal connected to the outer polished note metal.. i bet you A month down the road your trim on the note will get damaged...
I have these on my Nexus 4 and they rock feel and look awesome. Just order them for my HTC one. will report back. Usually about 1 or 2 weeks shipping.

is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?
Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.
Found this today: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Motorol...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item25844f1e88
The seller also has a few other colors. No way to tell how good fitment is until somebody tries it. I kind of want the solid black to replace my woven black, but I'm not convinced I want it bad enough to spend over $20 for it.

It is easy to open. The back plate is flexible and is more rubber than plastic. I was able to get mine off with just my fingernails and pulling it slowly. The 'glue' is just a piece of double sided tape.

Did it come with the lens? Or did you have to take it off the old cover?
I wonder if any of these new backs will give hope to adding in wireless charging. I know some other devices you can add something like this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C3DKSRM but, looking at tear-downs of the phone, it doesn't appear that the Moto X has the leads that this normally connects to. Maybe someone else has better ideas than me.
I Highly doubt we'll see any wireless charging backs like what your talking about become available. It would just screw with the aesthetics of the phone too much.
