[REVIEW] Incipio Feather for HTC One

I had this case on the HTC 8X in grey and it was easily one of the best cases I've ever had on any phone. The thinness, feel and texture was great.
As a first case for the HTC One I decided to buy this one but in black instead of grey to match with the light aluminum. It's a great case, it feels great, adds grip and the matte color is awesome. The grip and feeling on the back is superb. However, for that matte look, the black case texture/material is a little different than the one I had on the grey for the 8X.
It attracts finger prints and sweat or grease of your fingers. If it wasn't for this, this case would be perfect, at least for me.
If you don't live on a humid place or don't have have problems with finger prints, get this case by all means. Where I live it's almost 80%-95% humid all year so even if I don't have sweaty hands, it's inevitable that they get moist.
To sum up, it's a wonderful case, despite the problem with the smudges on the back. For that detail alone, it won't be for anyone as it would need to be cleaned two or three times a day to avoid the greasy/moist look on the back.
I do plan to get one in grey as the one I had on the 8X had an even better texture and feel and it didn't attract stains or finger prints at all. AT ALL. It was also a much of a darker grey that it showed on the pictures and I liked it even more when I got it.
For scratch protection, minimum bulk and great look and feel, this is a very good case.

PS: I have a MEIFENG (Bear Motion) in grey and a black Nillkin case on the way. I will post about them when they get here.

WOW that looks amazing. never heard of this brand case i am going to have to pick one up. thanks for your review!!

My problem with the case is the open top and bottom.

You are welcome. Incipio is a known brand but not in all countries, they make cases for almost every smartphone.

I like the open top and bottom because it adds to the lightweight of the case and allows the natural aluminum color to be displayed prominently. The accessibility of the USB port and the power button is great because there is nothing around them.
This kind of case is only for scratch protection but that's the kind I'm always looking for.

I've also recently purchased this case in black. I LOVE the look of this case and one of the main features I like is that it still manages to maintain the ultra slim look and feel of the HTC One. This case really does fit well and doesn't detract from the stellar good looks of the phone.
One thing I do look for in these slim cases is that if the top edge of the case is slightly raised above the glass. That's a positive for me as I do not use screen protectors. With the top edge of the case raised just a hair it makes it easier to put my phone face down without worrying about scratching the glass. The Incipio Feather does have this very slight edge thankfully.
The only downside so far is that I've had to return my first case due to cracks. The two top corners of the case started to show stress cracks for some reason. In fairness they could have already been there as the first case I bought was already opened at the store and could have been a previous return. I didn't really check it that closely. It could have also been from me being a little aggressive taking the phone out of the case once to show somebody how slim it was. It fits really well so I may have forced it a little too hard.
The store did replace the case as it was previously opened and I checked the new one pretty carefully so no issues so far with the replacement. I'll post back here if any cracks appear again. Just in case you get one, be careful removing or installing the case and you should be fine. If you want the ultimate in good looks, decent grip and scratch protection then you won't go far wrong with this one. If you're one of those folks that likes the big armoured cases then this one isn't for you and nothing to see here.
This case will give you some basic protection while still maintaining the look and feel of the phone. And admit it, the look and feel of the HTC One is at least half or more of the reason you bought this awesome phone in the first place! Cheers!

I'm very careful with my phones and cases. I hope yours was only a detail you didn't see when you bought it.
How are you doing with the finger smudges on the back of this case? It's better than I initially thought but I still have to clean it often.

Just something i've noticed since i bought this case. Both the small strips on the sides have cracked. The case is awesome and i really don't care but be for-warned if you are picky.

You can contact Incipio about this. The case comes with a one year warranty and I'm sure they'd be willing to cover that and replace it.:good:

I've bought a few cases for the One and this is definitely my favorite, all the rest I enjoyed but missed the slim line feel. The incipio is the best of both worlds.

Just ordered one of these.
I'm seeing a lot of reviews on Amazon with the lighter colored ones hazing up flash pictures. Seems to be a common thing with close cutouts for the LED. Black cases are going to be the best to avoid flash interference.

Got mine and yes it's definitely one of the most minmalist cases I've ever used. Be careful with this one as it doesn't afford much in the way of drop protection but you already knew that...
The lip over the screen is a bit shorter than I'd like, still need to be wary of setting it down screen down just in case.
However for those that prefer the naked feel but don't want to be paranoid of scratching the back when sitting on a table, you will like this!
Be wary the plastic cutout piece along the top where the volume rockers and usb charging port are quite thin and can break if stressed too hard when putting the case on and especially taking it off, just take you time and be gentle.
The black finish does show finger grease but is easily cleaned. The incipio dual is the same way. At least it doesn't scratch super easy like some of the smooth and glossy backs.
No case is perfect, that's why I have a drawer full of different cases!

I like the minimalist look, but does anyone know of any similar type 'snap on' cases that has a bigger lip over the corners/edges so that the screen is more protected?
My friend has this case in grey, and hers started peeling/chipping on the back after a few months of use. She contacted Incipio and they'll be sending her a new case which is good...

I picked up a case for my HTC One at best buy. It looks 100% identical except for the logo on the back of the case. Very nice case.

There is the Poetic Palette and Nillkin Hard Case/Shell. I can't say about the front lip for the screen as I don't own them but you can search for pictures and see if it is more prominent than the lip on the feather.

Looks nice and very slim!! :laugh:

Toast real wood wrap for Moto X

So I just saw that Toast is now making a real wood back skin for the Moto X. I think they look pretty good.
http://www.toastmade.com/Home.html
Apparently, it's glued to the phone with some pretty strong adhesive but they have a removal video that showed no residue when peeled off. I have a dev edition Moto X but I may get one of these in bamboo or ebony.
Anyone else up for a try?

I will probably wind up ordering one, but I'm not sure of the color I want. I have a white front / cement back / black accents. Walnut or Ebony would look best, but which one? <.<

Wow... based on the videos I just watched, the adhesive is serious overkill. I recently got the dbrand mahogany skin and it is much easier to remove, while having no problem staying put.
The dbrand skin looks pretty good, but I removed because I wasn't crazy about the feel. The Moto X feels pretty insane naked and I have yet to find an accessory that improves on it.

I agree with this. I have a case on now but only because it was free. I absolutely love the way the phone feels naked.

correct me if I am wrong, but the dbrand skins are 3M material, thus not requiring the use of very strong adhesives. Real wood on the other hand is a different story

I am no expert on adhesive, and what they are using on the little strips that go on the edges of the iPhone may be necessary. But given the amount of surface area of the back, it seems what they're using is overkill. Even their own removal video shows the removal process as destroying the wood, even with heat being applied.

Is anyone worried about the lip or edge this would have in the back of the MotoX? Unless they taper the wood, you're going to feel some edges on the back.

I guarantee you're going to feel it , I can even feel the edge of the dbrand vinyl skin I have.

Has anyone tried sanding the edges to make it feel more natural?

I've been thinking about it because after a couple months the bamboo is chipping away at the edge.

I almost pulled the trigger on two of these for my wife and I with custom text. Then I read they are glued on. No thanks. I'm not ruining my Developer Edition. Now, if they snapped on like a normal case I'd of done it. We're both disappointed.

I have one on my DE and it looks and feels awesome. There is a removal technique.

i'm thinking about getting one of these. can anyone provide some feedback on the product?
i'm especially interested in the durability, and how the edges feel afterward (some people with vinyl skins complain about rough edges from the skins)

I've been using one for a bit over a month now and have absolutely loved it. Before I bought it I thought the edges would bother me and I was planning on sanding it, but honestly it feels fine (and gives the dimple on the back a much better hold).
None of the glue has lifted and there haven't been any scratches on it (gotten a couple bad drops without any damage).
I personally have the toast back with a glass screen protector, a combo that still leaves the moto x with the same amazing formfactor but keeps it safe from 80% of what usually gets damaged

Recommendations for a Slim, Soft-Touch TPU Case?

I'm a new Axon 7 owner and am currently searching for a case to use on this phone. The stock transparent case that comes with the phone is great but due to the fact it's a glossy plastic, it attracts a lot of grease from my fingers and feels dirty after a while. I also dislike it because the sweat from my hands will form into condensation on the back of the case. I also have a problem where the jack on my headphones (Audio Technica ATH-M50) is too large to fit in the hole provided.
I decided to purchase the Spigen 'Rugged Armor' case from Amazon after reading a lot of positive comments about it, but I have been left disappointed and debating whether to return it due to the sheer size and thickness that makes handling the phone (Which is already large enough!) incredibly difficult with small hands. The case does not add much friction despite the material used having a rubber-like appearance, and I actually feel more likely to drop the phone as a result of trying to fumble with the added size. As well as this, the cut-out for the headphone jack is still too small even though it's larger than the wider than the one seen on the stock case. I also find it a lot more difficult to access the fingerprint scanner due to the thickness of the case surrounding it. Another problem is that the case is quite difficult to put onto the phone and a lot harder to remove, to the point where it feels like i'm actually going to damage the phone by attempting to do this!
For my previous phone, a Lenovo ZUK Z2, I had a fantastic Nillkin 'Frosted Shield' shell case that was made from a soft-touch rubber-like plastic. It was very slim at about 2mm in thickness at most, and although it didn't offer much in the way of drop-protection, it did have a nice textured back and that increased the grip tremendously. So, despite the case not being able to protect the phone quite as much from being dropped, it didn't matter because the chances of dropping the phone in the first place were a lot less likely. I wondered whether there was something similar for the Axon 7, but instead in a TPU-style with the sealed corners, and the same thickness as the stock case that's included with the phone? Any recommendations would be most appreciated.

This one is the best one, hands down: https://www.amazon.de/ARTILVST-umgebene-Struktur-Oberfl%C3%A4che-Protector/dp/B01MTLLSPA/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505381744&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=axon+7+slim+case+sand
It is ultra slim and has a very nice feel.

That looks nice, it's kinda like the old Sandstone Black finish on the OnePlus One. There was one similar to this on Amazon UK but I don't think it had the same texture to it. My only compliant with that one is that it isn't a TPU case which completely covers the corners, but on the other hand the sand texture probably adds a lot of grip to reduce the risk of it being dropped.
I'm currently looking into getting the J&D case from their official website. It's in TPU-form which covers the entire phone (Except from the power/volume buttons!) and has the textured soft-touch back I wanted. The only problem with this one is that the glossy plastic edges look a bit tacky in the pictures, but hopefully it's not as bad in person as it looks on the website. I have a discount code which knocks a subtle 15% off the price listed, so it might be worth a shot.

Looking into this now myself. The stock clear case will go yellow as they all do. Getting cheap see through black case as a temporary till I find a good one. I find the clear one a tad loose at the side.

Thanks. I'm mostly interested in the grip. I had a similar case from Amazon. fr but it was in fact quite slippery (it had a satin feel to it). Had to send it back.
The stock case that came with the Axon 7 is quite grippy but it is slowly going yellow.

Hey, have you received the case yet? Just wondering what you thought to it. If either you or @Sui77 could post a picture of it, that would be great as well. I'm still debating whether to choose this or the J&D TPU case that completely conceals the corners. I can't stand using the case which came with the phone much longer, as it's made from glossy plastic and attracts a lot of filth and grease. I imagine the ARTILVST case would be a lot better in this regard.

Thanks for posting those pictures! That's a shame to hear the grip wasn't as good as expected. I wanted something which provided more grip than the stock case, so maybe this isn't the right one for me. I also live in the United Kingdom and having the case shipped from Germany would make it more expensive in postage costs. It does look like a nice case but I am worried it might not offer much protection if the phone is dropped. I think the J&D case would perhaps be better because it has a soft-touch back and conceals all the corners properly.

I have that same Spigen case as above, an Incipio TPU case in smoked brown, and another thin "shell case". This thin shell offers zero protection in case it is dropped, making using one pointless , IMO.
The Incipio case is OK, but again thin and will show wear very quickly. The Spigen one is my favorite hands down, doesn't add bulk to the phone all ports easily accessable, and the edges offer good grip.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions regarding the cases available for the Axon 7. It's interesting to hear how you found the Spigen case not to be bulky, because I found the opposite and returned it for that exact reason. I eventually purchased one of the cheap, plastic shell cases from AliExpress similar to the that in the pictures Joaste posted above.
My overall opinion on this case has been positive but it has worn on the edges and there are cracks down all four corners. As you mentioned, a shell case does not offer much drop protection but it's definitely better than not having a case at all and it does improve the grip quite notably. However, I wish it had a textured or 'Sandstone' back to help avoid grease buildup.
I am now looking for another case, but options in the UK are limited since the Axon 7 is not officially sold here.

I've been using my TPU smoke black case with a glass screen protector for a while and enjoyed that. I got fed up with the Poetic Revolution case because of the dry protector built into the front. It allowed dust and stuff in between the screen and protector. Tonight I stripped out the dry protector and put the case on with the glass protector still on the screen. Fits nice. I have a full coverage protector to fit and might see if it will work with the Poetic. Might need to trim the inner edges of the corners near the speaker grilles.

I've been using this Proworx case since right after I got my Axon 7, so for a bit over a year now. I wasn't super impressed when I got it so I figured I'd replace it as soon as I found something better or it wore out, but I'm still using it, which says something about it.
It isn't the slimmest, for sure, but it isn't as bulky as the Otter Boxes and whatnot that everyone with a non-cracked iphone seems to have. It protects very well - TPU around the edges, fully covering the corners (which is a must, in my eyes), polycarbonate back, enough of a lip on top to protect the screen if you set it down face-down, and the cut-outs and buttons are perfect. Good drop protection - I've "thrown" it onto asphalt, tile, and concrete without the phone getting a scratch. Also works well with the glass screen protectors we covered in another thread. Easy enough to put on and take off too, with no chance of the phone just falling out.
Again, not the thinnest, but not huge, and the protection is excellent. Plus they're cheap and come in multiple colors. And as is typical with cheap stuff manufactured in China, I've seen this same case under at least a couple of other brand names, CoverOn for one. For $5-$6 I recommend trying it - I like it enough that I pretty much never think about replacing it, even though it (a clear one) has yellowed a tad. After trying like 10 cases for my G3 and finding faults with each of them, I can say I like this one enough that I'll probably replace it with the same one, eventually.

I decided to order one of these in black to try out. Have been quite happy with my Spigen, but after installing this Proworx case yesterday, I think I am falling in love. Seems to offer enough protection, fits & looks nice, AND I kind of like how the buttons are a bit harder to push in, which actually prevents me from squeezing open the screen every time I try to pick it up. :good:

Quoting myself here.
Today I fitted the full coverage protector to my Axon 7 and it fits into the Poetic Revolution case nicely! Glad I stripped out the dry protectors in the Poetic cases. I've also now fitted a plastic protector over the glass one as a quick and easy tear off to sacrifice for wear and tear but the glass one makes the front of the phone flat. Even with two stacked protectors, touch works perfectly.
The picture is slightly misleading as the black section also covers the capacitive buttons so there's no indicator of position, but not being backlit anyway, it makes little difference.
Here's a quicky bunch of pics. I have a soft TPU smoky case, black Poetic Revolution and a blue/grey Poetic Revolution which can be mix and matched. Got a couple of little bubbles under the plastic protector and will fix that later, or just remove it. Looks good with just the full coverage glass one.

If anyone is looking for a slim case I just picked up a Bear Motion Sand from eBay. Best case I've had so far for my A7 and I've tried quite a few. Feels like my OPO did.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J9Y5CQ...d_r=3683683e-ab8d-11e8-96dd-777fa7fb2507&th=1
Been using this one for over 6 months now with out any issues , not as bulky as it looks and the stand is useful . I also have a full body clear skin from clear-coat that fits superbly, clear-coat has various outlets through the UK and installs as you wait , is a bit pricey at £30 for the full skin .
I work in the building trade so need it well protected .

official fabric case

Just looking to see everyone's a experience with these
I have one and Idk if my hands are small but I find its hard to grip and feels also slippery...
Just me?

I have the light gray one with the mint green power button on my white 3 XL and yeah it's slippery. I love the aesthetics and feel, but it is slippery. When I prop the phone up against something to watch a video in landscape mode, it just slides out.

I had the fabric case for the 2 XL and returned it because it was indeed slippery in the hand it was also more chunky than the current generation. Fast forward to today, I own the spigen rugged case for my new 3XL, and I bought the fabric case to give it a try. It's a lot more slim, and coverage on the front corners is questionable if it took a direct hit when dropped. I can say that it is not so much slipper in the hand. It is moreso grippy than last year's, but still doesnt grip on hard surfaces like when being propped up as one of the other replies suggested. For now, the spigen is staying in a drawer at home. I prefer the look, feel, and prestige of the fabric case.

Love the fabric case! Also had one for 2xl and as nice as that one was, the newer one is better. It's slimmer, grippier (not a word), and has better coverage along bottom. It looks great and the fit is perfect, along with the buttons being nice to press too.
The only downside, mentioned by others but not necessarily shared by me, is that the lip is on the smallish side.
I don't have an issue with the lip. If you lay it on a flat surface the glass does not touch so that's good by me.
I also have the Bellroy leather case (super nice) and just ordered the Simply Carbon Fiber case which I'm hoping is as nice as it looks.

im using the indigo on my pixel 3 xl , but i just noticed something i took the phone out of the cover to wipe it ,
i saw a deep scratch on the left side , i did not use my phone without cover . but i think a dust was inside the side and with squeeze feature the phone got scratched.
always check inside the cover

Fully body white cases for pixel 3 xl. Why are there so few options?

Only fully body white case on the market is the Rhinoshield solidsuit. Everything else white are minimalist hard shell cases.
Took my old Spigen liquid clear tpu case and spray painted it white. Turned out way better than I thought.

You can even get one with built in lights:

Not exactly white, more like marble, and really $70 USD?
https://www.google.com/search?q=white+bodyshield+cases+pixel+3+xl
first product search result link is not white. It is transparent case with white flower artwork
2nd result hit Not really white. They are black case with printed decals slapped on the back
skim through more search hits, there are very few if not only 1-2. Wouldn't call that a "bunch". I've done the search many times, there are not many to out there on the market for pixel 3 xl. I've searched through amazon, ebay, aliexpress.
Challenge you to link me 5-10 on amazon.com that is full body pure white like the Rhinoshield solid suit . They are like the only one readily available. Peelcase has a kind of white one made of recycled stuff, but not really true white. Looks like recycled paper.

As a white-case connoisseur, my educated guess, after owning a billion of them for a billion phones, is I suspect they're not the favorite to produce for manufactures. Rubber and TPU, favorite materials for phone cases, stain VERY easily, and white ones turn irreversibly blue from blue jeans after only a couple days. They probably get a lot of customer complaints/returns. I pretty much gave up on finding nice solid-white cases. Either they stain RAPIDLY, or are made of very hard materials which are either bulky as hell or thin with terrible coverage (insufficient lip to set the phone face down without the screen touching the surface).

Otterbox is the one!!!

Found one. I like it so far. We will see how easily it discolors or stain. https://imgur.com/a/AHRt4VC

Does if feel "sticky" like some silicon cases do? Is there a good lip preventing the screen from touching a surface?
TIA

It isn't sticky. Actually kind of slippery. Feels more like a soft touch plastic. Lip is minimal. Description says 1.2mm, but if you put a TGSP it might be flush.

those are half price on Ali, and the bottom opening has always been sharp for me. to be fair, i haven't used one since probably the og pixel, but I'd had may previously and they all were sharp against my pinky

These cases are amazing, and the protection is good, consider buying a better screen protector though, you get a free one, and you can tell its free, but its good until you can buy more expensive screen protector. Not white though, but i bet there will be.

There was a great Speck brand case few years ago, for like the iPhone 7 or something, it was White, with black little corners, looked super cool, but never saw it again for any other phone.

I would like this for my Pixel 3 XL
