Hi, first of all this is my first review at all
I´ve to say that this is in my opinion the best way to protect the camera and so save the smart design of the beloved hd2.
but ... there are some bad points I wanne mention,
if you want a case that you put on once and never/only a few times pull off, this is your way,
but if you do it like me peal off every day to put in a cradle you have to face some scratches on the original rubber on the hd2.
For me it was clear that i´ve to protect the camera and still have a sleak design.
The Case itselve comes in a plastic box with some micro fiber cleaning cloth and a screen protector.
There are no edges or bur that could hurt the hd2.
The whole case is covered with a rubber finish just like the hd, but i dont think so resistant (no scratches jet).
The screen protection is not so good, after two days there are a lot of scratches on it, so maybe I´ll peal it off.
It fits the screen nicely and there are no issues with the aproximate sensor
Here are some pictures right from germany to you
How did you manage to scratch the screen protector? What are you writing with?
yea ... thats the big question.. I´m writing with my fingers and this protector get scratched, many many little ones, but there are even big scratches on it, think my pocket does this.... by the way only the phone in pocket... I´ll take a picture for u
That scratch on the corner of your HD2, is it from pulling the case off and on multiple times? It looks pretty ugly that scratch, but case looks very nice.
I think many of us have a need sometimes to pull it down becose sometimes we must reset it by pulling the battery out :\

yes its from pulling on and off, but i think its not soooo ugly cause you dont see it if case is on
for me its more important to cover the camera

I've got the Silver mirror-finish version of this case - it's very nice
Might add however that it's ridiculously snug - just got it today and now having trouble trying to get the case off
Is there a reason as to why Case-Mate states it will only fit the International version? Not the soon to be released Tmobile version?

I believe the intl version is a tad taller if I'm not mistaken...
I have the case as well (silver version). The case looks really sleek on the HD2. Nice and slim just what I want.
However I find it extremely difficult to take it off. It's just too tight. Any tips to take it off?

I just ordered one silver chrome and a leather case. Cant wait to see them

Oh, Im having trouble to remove this case off also. For the 1st time, it already scratch the rubber on my HD2. Really looks ugly. I love the look of this case, but I dont want my HD2 to have scratch. Should I return it?

Actually it is the t-mobile version that is about 1/4 " taller and maybe even a hair thicker at the top.

Yup, its a bummer I had ordered my case before getting the phone. O well, same exact thing happened when tmobile released the touch pro2. I order my protection before the phone because I dont want anything to happen to it, but then my protection ends up not fitting : (
wonder when they will be releasing the one for TMOUS

T-Mobile HD2 is 1.5mm taller. Seems to be because of the logo on top. For gel/silicone cases it might not be a problem, but for hard cases and fitted cases - it is. It does not fit.
Barely any fingernails left!
I purchased the black rubber version and it is very unobtrusive and tight fitting - but that's my problem - it's too tight. I feel I am in more danger of damaging my phone trying to remove this case than actually dropping it! I am considering cutting slits in the four corners of this case to make removal easier.It's a pity because I really like the look of the case itself.

I recently noticed a bluish/gray discoloration/stain from unknown whereabouts on the white plastic trim on my phone. Just wanted to let everyone know soap and water failed to get it off but a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser did the trick without any harm to the phone.

I wonder if this is a common problem since im thinking of getting http://www.amazon.co.uk/iGadgitz-Du...keywords=Qubits+htc+one+M7#productDescription
But i am worried that it may discolor the white plastic trim on the phone :/
Anyone who has any experience with discoloration on the white plastic trim ?

I don't think that kind of material is capable of rubbing off like jeans, I wouldn't worry

It literally just rubs it right off, and works a million times over. Before getting a case I had to do it at-least 4 times when it got a little too blue

Alright. Ordered already, will wait for it's arrival.
Still planning to use it naked though.
You could also use toothpaste and scrub it gently
HI there,
I went into the ATT store and saw the backs they had for the MotoMaker colors were like a bad case in my hand...but I like the feel of the black and white model phones they have...so how do the MotoMaker models feel in comparison to the woven backs?
As far as I know, they are all smooth and soft touch. Mine has the woven black back and it is smooth and soft touch, just like all the demo backs at the AT&T store.

I noticed the softer colors felt slicker, not as "rubbery". I prefer the grippiness myself

Really? I thought they all felt the same. The only one that felt different to me was the white display model, it didn't have any soft touch coating at all but I think that was deliberate with the display models for whatever reason.

Well, that's the soft touch coating for you. When the phone is all put together it feels ultra premium. Even more so than the HTC One, IMHO.

Are you saying the lighter green models are smooth or that they have soft touch? I was thinking about the mint back, but MotoMaker said it was smooth. Are these similar to, say the S4, in terms feel?

They're much higher quality than the plastic used in the S4. The back is soft touch with a matte finish to it, so its nice and grippy. Feels great in the hand, like a made-to-order suit.

Even for the mint? Moto doesn't describe it as soft or non-slip like it does for some other colors.

All MotoMaker custom backs are made of the same material. Soft, grippy, matte-finish. I have the Turquoise back.

So if you go to motomaker, the ones that are listed as "smooth finish; made of scratch resistant material" are smoother, whereas the "soft non slip finish; made of scratch resistant material" have soft touch similar to the Nexus 4 edges
The soft touch shows fingernail markings until it heals, but are obviously grippier..

Oh wow, I just went to Motomaker to check that out. I guess in my excitement to order the phone I didnt realize the different colored backs have different finishes. It looks like the darker colors all have soft touch finishes and the brighter colors are all smooth. They all say scratch resistant which is good. Thats good to know. Thanks
I went ahead and got the Crimson, I'll let you know how it feels in my pa-hands.
I managed to ding up my watch pretty bad crashing my skateboard and haven't been able to find any parts for the G Watch R. Does LG sell parts for it or am I stuck scanning ebay for a replacement housing?
ATM there are no spare parts available, We will see those slowly coming to market eventually.
Can you post a picture so I can see the problems? It's ruined that bad that it cannot be repaired?

It is just cosmetic, screen and device are fully functional. I'm very impressed with the durability, as I was going 20+mph and fell with all my weight on it
File the top of the bezel down smooth. It will look better and be a uniform gray circle on the bezel.

Looks great. I've seen another post about how to sand it down which came our really nice, but this looks amazing. How did you get it that beautiful and flawless glossy surface?

I used a higher grit sanding sponge until all the paint and imperfections were gone, then followed up with 3000 grit from auto zone. Used Mothers polishing cream to finish it off

If people were willing to ship their watches to me I'd be more than happy to. Though I don't think the finish will last too long as it doesn't have a clear coat on it

My dbrands.com skin came today for my OP3. It looks and feels great. They are now shipping if you want one. The installation is easy just follow the video on their website. Mine is yellow top and bottom with blue carbon back. Mahogany front.
lol omg how hilarious, i was just getting ready to create my own thread of this, i got mine in today too, i'll just share mine on ur post too
i like urs, great job on applying urs, the top and bottoms was a pain in the a... for me, but the easiest skin i have ever applied, no bubbles or anything, i don't think it will last long but at least they gave me 2 of them.
it does feel really nice and great quality (no cheap), no longer keeps slipping either
Top/Bottom/Logo - Red
Back/Camera - Matte Black
Ha ha good timing then. Yours looks nice too. I agree that it's an easy to apply skin. The tops and bottom was a pain. The key I found is use a little more heat on the tabs. My top doesn't look as good as the bottom. With the extras I'll just replace it if it bugs me too much.

Are you able to use your case with the skin?
All designs are looking awesome!
How well do these skins typically hold up in respect to edges peeling up, etc. i do not like using cases but would need a skin on an aluminum bodied phone.
My main concern would be the edges peeling back up due to use and pulling out of pocket all the time, or even just moving around in the pocket.
I have used another type of skin before and sometimes it does ok but other times it only lasts a day. Granted the skin i used did not fully wrap around to the front, more for back protection

So far the only issue or disappointment I have is with the front. It picks up the dust and hairs from my pocket and did get the side edge of the front screen to shift some. The back I have no complaints. No shifting, peeling, or residue collecting hairs like the front.
For longevity someone who's had these skins on longer will need to chime in. This is my first experience.
Looks awesome guys!

sorry, the matte black
Am loving the look of these will have to see if I want to use one instead of my case to take away some of the bulk
I've got a really good set up coming in the post
Here's a couple different variations of Dbrand skins I have done for the OnePlus 3. I am about to do black carbon w/ blue carbon accents. They fit really well and add a lot of protection and extra grip. I am very happy with it.
