What case are you using?

Hi everyone
Just interested in finding out what case everyone is using or going to purchase.
I originally got the HTC HC 701 white flip but it gets dirty so quick so I am using the original pouch by HTC which I hate because I always feel nervous when taking my phone out or when anyone says " let me have a go on your phone" my heart starts racing. So I decided to order Noreve case in Ocean Blue but they take a month to deliver (What a joke) so I have ordered the Covert branded PU croc flip style case.

i bought the Melkco TPU black matte for 15 on ebay. i don't know how i like it yet, but it's probably good.

Im using the cheapo one that was recommended on here from eBay and hate it. But there is so little else available that it will have to do for now.

I'm using this one from Amazon, and love it:

I also love the way the camera lens now doesn't touch whatever surface I put the phone on.

The camera lens is recessed anyway.

To be REALLY correct: The camera lens is behind the glass.
That glass though is only recessed about a mil under the ring.
So better to have it protected by a few more mils of rubber then to accidentally get a scratch that will become the focal feature of all your future photos!

I had one of them, it offers great protection back & front, but it didn't fit properly around the micro usb socket, due to excess plastic. No biggie, especially for the price
Now ordered a Rock TPU case and Shocksock neoprene pouch.

Yeah it is so annoying when a phone is realised you have to wait at least 2months before you can hold of a decent case that you are happy with.
But saying that with my DHD I got as soon as it came out the Piel Frama case was available straight away.

What could I use to protect the camara? What about buying a screen protector and cutting it to size?

Sure, but not a cheap protector.

Any recommendations of a good screen protector I can use to cut to cover the camera lens.

I have this and the official HTC One X Slip Pouch...
Initially I only had the pouch but found the phone a little slippery at times and droppped it in the office.

I bought a black TPU case off eBay before the release of the phone. It fits very well and adds only a little bulk to the phone. I prefer without a case but for safety sake I'm using it. For £3 or so its a great deal and was delivered quickly in the UK. Don't see the point in spending silly money when this is is as good as any I've tried previously for other phones.

i find this phone too good looking to put it in an ugly case.
the only thing i did is put a screen protectror on camera lense

You are right. But I didn't care, since I was taking time to decide which Screen protector to choose! It is a nice fit for the phone though, very pleased with it

Check Martin Fields screen protector. It has a small circular protector specifically for the glass that houses the camera. It is not cheap ranging at around 20-26 dollars but at least you dont have to fidget around coming up with a circular protector for the camera.
Try eBay, I think they sell them there...

I'm using the case mate tough

I have the same case but in red, for the price you can't go wrong tbh. Feels smooth in your hand still, with a bit of grip and adding literally no bulk.

I bought 2 of this ref for my girlfiriend and i, and the fit is perfect for both or us. No loose point. But i can confirm one thing despite of the minimalist design this protection is incredible. My deary let her One fall 2 times, once inside house, once in the street very badly...after removing this Belkin protection to check the phone, not a single mark on it. I even used the belkin screen protect which is really easy to apply, no air bubbles, and really protective. Best ever used.

Well I went out and got one at target but quickly returned it, it was a tight fight like the phone is secure but the sides, top and bottom stick out so it makes the phone look roundish, basically made my htc look look like a galaxy s4 lol, the top and bottom stick out too much to where u can see a gap between the lip and phone, it was a bummer because if it was a perfect fit the case is extremely nice looking on the silver one and probably the nicest tpu case I've come across, I hope there is a revision of this

running out of options... looking for a less bulky case than the uag yet still protective. i've pretty much given up my hopes of sgp making a neo hybrid case for us HTC One owners.. not feeling any love from them lol
hopefully someone will step up and create a quality fake neo hybrid for the HTC One or something :fingers-crossed:

I know I'm resurrecting an older thread, but I just wanted to chime in with my experience. I bought one of these cases on eBay, and I agree that the fit on the top and bottom leaves something to be desired. Other than that, I really like the case, so I got out my heat gun (not just a hairdryer), and heated up the top and bottom until they were warm enough to push in and reshape a little bit. That made the case fit a lot better. Be careful if any of you decide to do this, though. The grey part can melt if you get it hot enough.

Exact same problem with my Belkin Grip Sheer Matte case.

i think that this cover could be very nice ! but i should go for a 3mm because i think its the same for protection but the weight its better !

The case does add quite a bit of bulk to the phone. It makes it a lot wider than it needs to be, and there's sort of a sharp seam around the edge near the top. I stopped by a T-Mobile store today and picked up a Speck Candyshell Grip case for less than $20. It fits amazingly well, and really makes the fit of the Belkin look terrible, even after I got it to fit better with a heat gun.

Genuine Wood Cover for Xperia Z3 Compact

HI everyone
I just want to share with you some impressions about my "balolo" wood cover, which I received about 5 weeks ago.
When I got my Xperia Z3 Compact last year I instantly bought a case in the first few days. But I must say that I prefer to hold my device "naked" in my hands without any disturbing material around the edges. A friend of mine told me to have a look on the products of "balolo".
I ordered a genuine wood cover and engraved it with a picture of me and my girlfriend. In the first two oder three days the cover was smelling like wood (what should be quite normal for a product made out of genuine wood). The quality of the (walnut) wood is very good and also the engraving looks perfect.
But the best thing about it was the price: 29€ for something I expected to cost a least twice of it! After 5 weeks of using it I can´t say anything negative about it (except you don´t like the wood smell in the first days), so from my point of view a clearly recommendation!!

The fit is awesome and the feel is much better than with glass. Although it is genuine wood the cover is not slippery at all! And I like the promise that balolo plants a tree for buying a product !

It sticks onto the back of the phone with a 3M peel-off sticky backing. It's not really a case, more a textured back covering the glass. It won't provide any protection to the sides or front (although I believe you can get a front glass protector with it too - but I suspect that is much like any other stick on screen protector).
I was a little disappointed with this when it arrived, but actually found it looked good, and I could still used the Ringke Fusion case on top to provide some more substantial protection to the phone itself. Actually, the Fusion case fits even better with the relatively thin wooden backing on the phone.

Here's mine. I didn't realize it was just a sticker for the back either, but it looks great without adding thickness to the sides of the phone. I think I'll keep it on.
The only drawback is how it adds an edge around the back. Its not a sharp edge, but you can definitely feel it while holding the phone.

Any brave souls out there using the HTC 10 naked?

I have been using cases and screen protectors on my phones all my life. This time I decided that enough is enough, I'm going to use this brand new phone naked. I already dropped it and it has like 3-4 dents at 2 of the corners. I was sad for a while but this is bound to happen anyways. I considered using only a screen protector without a case, but that would make me a half-way crook and I'm too hard for that.
So, any cold-blooded thugs out there using their HTC 10 naked like me? We need to unite.

Running it naked, haven't put a case on any of my phones for past 3 years. Why buy a marvel of engineering (smartphones in general) and then cover it with a case. No scratches or anything so far, but they add character to the device.

If you go through devices like me (one every other month or so) a case is important to protect the device for resale. But it is certainly nice to sport around naked once in a while.

The Uh Oh protection is one of the reasons that motivated me to go naked. Does anyone know if HTC will replace phones that have scratched up screens without cracks? Or do I have to hit it with a hammer before calling them for a replacement later on if necessary.

Never use a case or screen protectors, can't stand them.

I ordered a Ice View case along with the phone. I got the phone today but the case wasn't in the box (they said it is still a pre-order item). I guess I'm running naked for a while anyway.

skinned mine with dbrand skins...
i mean yet to receive the shipment though was supposed to be dispatched on 4th may no news yet.. but this is how its going to be....

Completely naked. Why cover a beautiful smartphone?
I never use a cover on my phones.

Ohai!
The ice view case looks great and all, but it adds extra efforts in using the phone. So say in general, cases ruin the beauty of the phone altogether, regardless of what case you get.
Apart from the screen having a potential of breaking, the rest of the device is meant to last. Live life on the edge (until the phone breaks, then you can cry)

I use a slim cover, with kids my M8 has taken more than a dozen falls... still well rounded.
My 10 is already scratched the screen brushed against something edgy and I cant figure what it was.

I never used to use cases, but I have a tendancy to drop things thhese days so I do use one, but I'd rather not have to! Going to get a tight fitting skin like above I think as have rugged case that you can't see the phone through, so it looks like my old phone!

Same here, dot view cases were fun but now I a want to enjoy the new design of the 10, perhaps I will put a tempered glass but not a cover, I am very careful with my phones but you never know when someone put his stuff on your phone when it's on a table, I got a hairline scratch on my M9's screen last year because someone put his earphones on it (yes I know screen coating by HTC is not so good)

This phone is so beautiful that are huge case would just ruin the design but also you need to opt for some protection. Therefore I have purchase the Spigen thin fit.

Lol cases are for galaxy phones to cover up the ugliness

To case or not to case, my age old dilema.

I have this dilemma every single time I get a new phone. I can't decide if I need a case of not. I have the Spigen Rugged Armour case which is pretty good but ruins the feel of the phone. This isn't the cases fault...all cases do this IMO. It makes the phone feel so much thicker and makes the bezzles even worse. I'm usually pretty safe with my phones...having only broken one screen in my life with owning many devices...that was the Note 7 display. This time when I got my Pixel XL I got insurance through my carrier that replaces the device if it's damaged from drop, water or theft minus my $200 deductable. I'm looking for opinions on case or no case. I can never decide. Thank.

The back easily gets dented. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. All I did was lean on a table .. barely. It has a ding now. I'd suggest a case. Just an opinion though.

Oh man that one big dash would drive me nuts lol ...... man lot of marks must have hit tile

Those chamfered edges always get like that. It's not a pixel exclusive issue. Have them on my 6P as well.

I recommend the Spigen Ultra Hybrid case. I have the clear one and it is classy. The case is adequate without being intrusive with a premium feel and premium branding. Better yet. If you pick it up off of their Amazon store. You can get it for over 50% off. No. I am not an Amazon or Spigen employee...just a very content longstanding customer

I'm very picky with my devices. Never drop them. Never case them. I always use a skin on back and tempered glass on front.

I am in the same boat with my phones that offer good insurance deals. I have both the iPhone 7+ and now the Pixel XL and have them in temporary cases until the skins arrive. I had my iPhone 6+ and 6P both skinned and insured, didn't have to submit a claim on either. They both had a few dings here or there but a new skin always covered that and kept the phone so close it's original shape. I also find they hide the metal pad nicely for my magnetic car mounts. I will send pics and updates when my skins arrive, so far only ordered them through slickwraps, I'm sure I'll order some off d-brand around black friday.
I'm not sure on the insurance value for Pixel XL yet because of the low repair costs I've seen, for the iPhone it's a no brainer because it covers the earpods and lightning cables.
