[Q] Tips for going Caseless? - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone have advice regarding going about using the HTC One without a case, naked and out in the world, without utterly destroying the phone due to scratches, dings and dents?
I pre-ordered my HTC One 64 gb on contract and Im considering selling it in december and buying whatever Nexus phone google is offering in november off contract, and judging by the nexus 4, the price point shouldnt be too bad.

My tip is don't !

If you want to go caseless, your best bet is to install something like the Skinomi full body shield. It should provide protection against scratch on the body.

get a clear case/bumper
I tried going caseless for sgs3, n2, and nexus 4.
Random scratches here and there. Not worth it!

So what If it scratches. You won't notice them when the screen is on anyway.

a pouch
I'm with you in that it seems a dreadful shame to cover up such a beautiful piece of design.
Personally my solution is to use a leather pouch - protected when I'm not using it and all it's caseless glory when I am

your losing resale value of the device

Same here, hate using cases for my phones. Went caseless with One X, then S3 then Note 2, Xperia Sola, then 4s, then Nexus 4, then back to One X (I know, I change phones a lot and now I'm planning to get the One ). What I did was buy those full body screen protectors, I used Zagg for the rear and sides, but used the Spigen ones on the screen so that I wouldn't even feel or see any screen protector on the screen.
I sold all my other phones (except N4 and Sola) near the real value I bought it because it still looks and feels so brand new and until now, none of my buyers have complained (I give them an opportunity to test the phones for a week first, if they need help with something, I help them to the best I can, and if they don't like the phone, I give them a full refund, but I ask for a free snack)

I've been fortunate enough to have not dropped my last 3 phones while caseless.
It used to happen when I would get out of the car, so now the phone is either in my pocket or in my hand when I get in/out of the car.
I always have a back screen protector so that the back won't scratch when it lays on the table.
Keys and change in right pocket, phone in left.
Other than that, keep a tight grip!

yes buy a pouch

best of both worlds

It's lovely naked, it's really is, people should have to pay to see it, it's like a peep show!
I'll be getting a pouch very, very soon... until then, I'm holding it like a baby!

This is the million dollar dilemma every time!
I HATE cases, the phone is designed to be held and felt as it is, not with a case that makes it twice the size (some don't I know...)
A pouch kind of helps here, but then if you are using the device and you drop it, I have yet to see a pouch that spots it has been dropped and quickly attaches itself to avoid damage

any recommandation on that?

Everyone saying use a pouch for when the phone is not in use lol. U do know the most damage done to a phone is from dropping it right? You can't drop a phone thats putaway. You can when you are holding it. So pouch doesnt actually make a difference.

It's scratch proof. I have a 1-year-old One X and it has maybe 2 micro scratches on the screen. Almost immaculate and the same as an Xperia on the second day. lol
Edit: Also not sure how could you dent/scratch a phone in your pocket?!

thats only semi true when you are carrying around taking it out from your pocket etc its always in the pouch
but if you drop while using it yes its true
so a pouch is kinda of half protection and protects against the element in pocket/ bag etc

I have one instance though a sharp object went inside the pouch I put my phone on... I'm not sure how many days it has been on the pouch but it scratched my phone like hell. I thought it was dust or something on my hands when it's dirty until I felt it when I was holding the pouch and meh! A little stone made it inside.

I recommend these. They aren't out yet for the One but should be soon. I used them on my One X for nine months and never had an issue. They are wet apply and shrink when dry so tightly that you can feel the raised lettering in the Beats logo. Their shiny though which may not appeal to every one.

Otterbox for work, thin light bumper for play

Wasted cash on Otterbox

I spent 30 bucks on the otterbox for Xperia play
I want my money back now.
It's the biggest load of crap I've seen the company make
Main FLAW
When the phone is close the case actually pushes the screen off the keypad portion of the device.
The reason is because the case has 5 clips on the bottom holding the lower portion on
The clips are so big that when you close the phone it actually causes them to touch each other (the bezel one and lower one)
causing a huge gap inbetween the two parts. Almost enough its scaring me
I took the case off. Not using it now.
The second problem. The L and R buttons do not work
The otterbox company assures you they will work but trust me they dont.
The silicone is very thick and it is not responsive or ductile at all
You cant get it to manipulate to push the buttons unless you have a death grip on the phone.
The volume rocker is EVEN WORSE.
All in all I would rate this case a 2 of 5.
Very dissapointed in Otterbox and probably wont buy any more of their overpriced crap
Especially after my Droid X Otterbox defender broke (holster snapped in half)
I would email them your complaint. I have had 2 otterbox cases before one for Droid 2 and the other my Cperia play. Mine didnt have any issues with pushing the screen, a,thought one of the clips did break. I email them about the broken case and they replied asking me for my name and address and 3 days later I had a free replacement. If you really dont like the case email them and ask for your money back. It doesnt hurt. But to be honest about otterbox their customer service is really good. Not just from me but 2 of my family members.
I did email them today
We will see what happens
I would take a replacement or I would take money back
either way. Aslong as I can use the dang thing
why would you need one when you have the Xperia Play's gamepad?

Trident is the way to go. I bought one and no complaints with the case at all. Gives the power and volume buttons a nice feel to them. I find it easier to use them now with the case.
otterbox is poor
trident aegis the best
bought a £3 gel case from ebay also did the job probably best vfm
I also bought an Otterbox for my Play last year hearing glowing recommendations from here and some other forum.
Used it for a day, did not like it at all. My problem was that it wouldn't stay on - it would pop right off if I put pressure on certain spots (which together cover probably 80% of the case).
I replaced it with some no-name crystal clear hard case from eBay which only cost me something like $6 shipping included. Fits perfectly and stays on, and all the buttons are more accessible than they were on the Otterbox, and does not interfere with the slider or any buttons or the speaker/mic. It is slimmer than the Otterbox and has a smooth finish which helps get it into and out of my pocket more easily. I am very much pleased with this case which was only 1/5th the cost of an Otterbox.
I wanted the otterbox for ny play, but been hearing bad news with r&l buttons.. so i went and got the one from verizon and it loooks sick. It shows off the ericson logo and xperia. Im not downing otter my, friend dropped his iphone 4th floor. The case didnt make it but the iphone like nothing ever happend. I really recomend the verrizon case sleekest case for the play.

You forgot to mention that it's almost impossible to use the face buttons without inadvertently making touch screen selections because they raised the bottom edge and it's too close to the buttons.
Anyway, I filed off some of the clips that weren't needed so I doubt I'm eligible for a refund.
I've just received my otterbox and the back clips just doesn't 'clip'..
I can push at hard as I want and even push them in, they always come back..
Is there any way I can get a refund while I've bought it on ebay (new - sealed)?

[75% OFF][Screen & Full body protectors][PIX] XtremeGUARD SALE sitewide

EDIT: NOTE(s): When you receive these they come packaged in a generic mailer envelope, nothing fancy, no retail packaging. Important, the packaging may contain "black specs", make sure you rinse super thoroughly before attempting to install or you will get these stuck under the protector and be sad. Once you've got it lined up and installed, let it dry, it may make your device non-responsive to touch. It seems the N7 has very little margin/sensitivity and the liquid impairs electrostatic conductivity and doesn't register touches with most wet application protectors until it's 100% dry. It should work without issues after 24/48 hours depending on your climate.
FOLLOWUP: Here's a picture of mine installed and drying about 36 hours later.

Man, I ordered a screen protector a few days ago for $9 from their ebay store. Now it's 1/3 of the price for TWO...oh well, guess I'll stock up.
Can you vouch for these being good screen protectors? Do they have the orange peel effect or anything?

There is very minimal orange peel with these screen protectors IMO. With these, I have to get it at just the right angle under a light to even notice it on my Galaxy Nexus. They are miles better than zagg when I tried them. I would say they are very similar to xo skins, but cost a lot less. For $3.75, you'll get two of them now. You don't have much to lose .

+1 for less than the cost of lunch at McDonalds you can have two shipped to you.
Most important of all is the type and quantity of the soap you use to install, use as little as possible, as it may cloud, rainbow and or leave permanent gray bubble marks on the protector if it's too strong and left to soak too long. I do not notice any orange peel effect, it's comparable to Skinomi in feel and effect. *Zagg brand has this problem, I still have my Nook Color one sealed in it's pack I was considering using on the N7. Although it only covers the touch/screen portion. Lucky I didn't have to. And it cost me $24.
I will say that it's a matter of personal preference. If you're not a fan of wet install, rubbery feel, loss of some clarity (think semi-anti-reflective) for protection. This may take time to get used to, but at least at this price you can test that.. YMMV
Truthfully I would have bought Skinomi if they would have been this cheap, this is the next best option. IMHO.
Hope that helps,

P.S. I have these installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3, Motorola Atrix 4G and bought some for my Samsung Focus as well. I got a dozen of these for the SGS3 at 80% OFF when it was released. I have installed it on a workmate's SGS3 and will install them on two others once they get theirs.

It sticks. I personally wouldn't bother with protecting the back with a skin, it's really resilient. But I am going to get an ultra thin TPU case once they become available.

Nice, I hope they work out for you as they have for me. Remember if you have any problems for any reason with them, you can contact their customer service which offers you replacement or no hassle refund. I know this as I had an issue with my initial order missing the back portions of the full body and they actually sent me out my replacement order twice and still offered me a refund if I chose.

So the loss in clarity is just that it's a little more reflective, not an actual decrease in vibrancy and color? If that's it, I'll definitely be ordering a few. That's a price for generic protectors and if these are high quality it's a bargain. Either way, it has to be better than the horrible universal one I cut out that I bought at Walmart that I, ironically, paid $15 for.
thanks for the info! I used the code and 2 for 3.75 is great! I've never heard of the company but for that price I'm willing to try them. For my phones I've used steinheil and ghost armor (had it on my gnex but took it off because i like how it looks without it) but ghost armor is clear too. I might put one back on the gnex since i have 3 more haha. either way thank for the info
I purchased few.
Thank you

Awesome! I picked up several protectors for everyone I know!
I just ordered about 30mins ago one for my Nexus 7 and Droid 3 but the code didn't go through. Sent an email off to them because it won't let me edit the order I hope I can get the code applied cause that would save $13 lol
Edit: Emailed me back super fast and cancelled. This seems like a great company already, can't wait to get the screen protectors (ex. Zagg user)

[Q] HTC One - Rear Scratch Test?

Hi guys.
I should be getting my new HTC One (Silver) in the next day or so and was wondering if I could get away without a case. Has anyone seen any scratch tests or had any experience with the rear of the phone?
I am very careful with my phones but have always used a case in the past. With this being such a great design it would be a shame to cover it up.
Thanks
Russ
Definitely get a case! Aluminium can dent very easily if you drop it. A plastic case will prevent this.

Thanks for your reply.
I understand that dropping it will dent it but I have never dropped my phone (I know there is a first time for everything). I'm more worried about scratches. I will have a screen protector so its purely just the aluminium casing.
Why hide a nice design? I've never understood why ppl buy something nice and then hide it in an ugly plastic case, isn't the htc one a statement against plastic to begin with?
About screenprotectors no idea if they have become any good over the years, I once used one on my htc prophet didn't like it after a day and removed it. Used my nexus s for 2 years without a protector or case and screen still looks perfect and that isn't even gorilla glass.

Personally, I have never used a case on any of my phones, nor will I ever. I don't understand, why cover up the design, and specially a beautiful phone as the HTC One? I've never had any problems with scratches or dents on my phones.
To answer the OP. Get some bubble wrap, that should be sufficient protection
get a nice pouch, 50% of time protected
although i have to say i prefer the transparent One X flip/kickstand cover over the official double dip flip for the One

Its a tough one. Keeping a phone like this nude of course is preferable, but people like to keep their phones looking like new. Even in a pocket with nothing else in it, phones can get damaged because they are not made to be everlasting. I have never dropped a phone. The only phone I kept nude was the iPhone 4 with its glass front/back. It never marked up. But I would bet that aluminium back does scratch and so if you put it even on a table and accidentally it slides across the table it could scratch it.I understand both viewpoints here.
With the official flip case, you can fold it in a way to expose part of the metal back if you want to admire it sometimes. Also the phone is easily removed from the case in seconds.
Pouch means you can't put it in your pockets easily. But still, it'll be the choice i'll take if I can't find a nice cover.

no need to be cynical, when using a nice pouch you still get to use the device naked as well and enjoy
its just a protection during transportatio, also your protect your resale value
ofcourse plastic covers are a ridiculous idea especially over a metal phone, i had a rock excellent soft slim cover for my One X, never used it
and i meant a slim fitting pouch, not the ugly big types
I use a pouch for my one x when in use its no case or screen protector,when not the pouch keeps it scratch free

As I posted in another thread, there is a video n YouTube called 'HTC One Anti Scratch' where someone rubs a key over the back of a black HTC One leaving a metal residue but no marks on the phone.
I can't post the links yet as I am new to the forum. Sorry about that.

what...................... that is amazing!!!
However, I still think metal bodies get bend easily, plus it would be a pain replacing as well.
But as other have said, I agree and I don't get bragging how nice this phone looks like and how well it feels only to put a big case on it.

But as other have said, I agree and I don't get bragging how nice this phone looks like and how well it feels only to put a big case on it.

No, but when I had a Desire Z, I dropped it bending one of the corners.

Giving away/Selling some m8 cases

Hi Not sure if this is allowed, maybe I should read the rules again.. But anyways, I have gone through a few cases for the m8 trying to find one I really like and want to stick with. So now that I have the UAG case which I'm happy with, I figured I could give away or sell my other cases at a really cheap price to some of you who are looking for a case for your m8. First come first serve, preferably free cases to someone who doesn't have a case and actually needs it. Shoot me a message. I'll update with posts below as things go. Will have pics up soon of the ones I'm selling

Hey... Not sure if you still have it... But I'm very interested in the kayscase. I don't have anything yet and I was actually looking at that case.. I'll PM you as well.
I'll take the kayscase

I know it's against the rules to sell anything on the forums. But you should be good on the giveaways.
Also if you decide to giveaway the otter box I'd love to have it so I have a super protective option.
U got any more cases
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I knew I wasn't "crazy" and alone in having 3 or 4 cases usually for my phones for the particular need I have at that day/moment. Powered cases, hard cases and cases that are somewhat "my children proof". I've had, mm, 8 or 9 Android devices, maybe more and the kids have managed to spill or pour drinks on 5 of them. My 1 year old even threw (literally threw) my HTC ONE X into a bucket of water.. Plop.. HA, oops.. Counting, XOOM can't be mobile, needs to be connected to power to work after water spillage on it. 2 Nexus 7s (2012 models, my 2013 model is hands off) don't have working USB plugs now, but I can charge them via the dock and POGO pins. A Samsung Galaxy S was water damaged, wifi doesn't work, forget if sim card works. Some motorola phone that was given to us was stepped on and yet again, water spilled, for some reason my kids love mixing water and android devices. Yet they can spend 'a good time' using them for Youtube and kids games, 2 + 4 year old are their ages now. Have been Android user since 1 + 2 respectively :good:
I've only got the case that came with the international M8 and bought some ebay HK "genuine leather" case that will let me put it at various viewing angles and fold up like a wallet/purse thing so I _hope_ that manages to keep my kids at bay. May this phone be the first one that doesn't go for a swim! Oh, I hosed my LG G2, 'somehow'', use FreeGee to backup EFS, tried a particular radio, no good, did a 'simple restore'. Phone was hosed, EFS was corrupt or dead, or whatever. It was giving boot loops, constant reboots once in ROMs that worked, no wifi/sim.
I finally have it at a state, it is in either a LG or KK ROM as I want, 20 minutes to restore JB Stock ROM or so, and upgrade if wanted, but no radio/sim/wifi which sometimes reboots. I'll play with it if and when I finally find myself not glued to the M8 at any true spare time (No kids, not on motorbike, not doing stuff with tablets or PC). Hopefully, August, heh heh heh.

It is against the rules to sell on XDA. Please use swappa to sell devices or accessories.

M8's case from the package, where to buy?

I got mine from Tmobile, there is no case included in the package, i saw this video and there was a case included. I like it 'coz it has a plug / cover for the usb. Or is there any variant of that?
pretty sure that this case only comes with the international htc ones, so if you are in the United States you will not get it, which is ridiculous
I think it's because we don't the replacement screen in first six months over here, so they give us a free case instead...
Guys, the case delivered with the international version sucks big time. I am using it since release 04.04.14
- It is not close to perfect fit. The handset could come out anytime easily.
- The part for micro-usb and phone jack doesn't close all the way after 3-4 days. I decided to cut that piece to avoid hassle.
- The ruber looks already worn just from putting in my jeans pocket.
Not recommended by any means

Yeah it's not great, definitely not worth paying money for but I'm still glad they included it. I'm still using mine until I can figure out which third party case I want.
Just sold mine on Ebay. Offered to someone on here but the postage to US was around $15 - obviously you can buy a case for that.
On the flip side, had mine since release day and used as a daily driver and not a mark on it.
Aww! I'll pass then

seriously dude, did you have rocks in your pocket or something, or drop it a million times, or leave it on the roof of your car? i find it extremely hard for that to happen to your case from your "jean pockets." not trying to be mean or anything but i think your story about this case is a little farfetched. all the research i've done on this case has been nothing but positive

I dont know, but looks like that one has no port covers
Have to say mine is a week old and hasn't shown any sort of wear as yet, and this is in jeans and my work trousers. Not sure what the hell happened to the other guys case!
anyway, it was free so even if it does start to show wear I'm not that bothered

I have other friends/colleagues, who have the same problem. It is up to you, if you believe or not. I just wanted to warn other users, who wants to pay for this crap.

I'm sorry to disappoint but my case starts wearing off on the edges too. I only wear jeans and not the tightest ones at that. I never dropped my Phone and i do not have a car. Hence i didn't even leave the phone and case in bright sunlight to heat up or something.
Made a picture if mine few days ago. Here it is.
The case was included in the box for me, as a temporary case, it's fine, but I'd strongly suggest buying a different case if you're going to order one.
I, myself, have ordered a Dot View case, but I'd suggest getting a Spigen or something if you're ordering one.
Here's mine, been in use for a since 27/4, I usually take care of my devices so I'm not sure how it was scratched this much, but that shows how scratch prone it is:

I've had mine as long as you have and... what the heck do you do with your device? Either your jeans are too tight and caused all that scuffing or you're doing something else with it because mine looks pretty much the same as it did the day I got it -- and the flap still closes properly.
I've got it on my M8, and its scratched, port covers doesn't close properly, and doesn't slide in and out of pockets very well. Good for a case that comes with the phone but wouldn't recommend buying it if you didn't get it with your phone.

I was rubbing the case against a rock, the only thing i had in mind was to make HTC look bad. You got me, dude! wow...
Anyway, i am using dot view cover now. THAT is indeed something, i can recommend to protect your device. It is a little uncomortable to write with 2 hands though...
