[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
See no need for a screen protector haven't used one on either of my previous phones (both had gorilla glass) and I didn't scratch or couldn't notice that I had on either of them.

As for cases well I'm paying a lot of money for this phone and one of its selling points is "Iconic Design" so I don't really want to hide that away behind a case.

So I've already ordered an official HTC leather pouch. Way I see it is when I'm using it you will see the whole phone in all its glory and when I'm not it will be protected in its pouch. Plus the pouch has micro fibres which help keep the screen clean.
[HTC One X] Aeneas:
It uses older Gorilla Glass tech, but my Wildfire has scratches on it now.

However, I do bang it about a lot, and have had in pockets with keys many times.

It was entirely scratch free for a long time though.
[HTC One X] THFourteen:
i guess the other thing to consider is the resale value of your phone lowers if it starts to get scratched and dented.

so far i've ordered a back qbits cover from amazon for £4, its probably pretty basic and rubbish.

i did like the iphone 4 bumper, it did a great job of leaving the phone open, but also protecting it from drops
[HTC One X] sebbo90:
I'll go for a punch maybe. I hate having a large case as it defeats the object of having a really thin phone. I find they ruin the aesthetics.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
What price did you get it for?.......ordered mine for £8.95 on Ebay for official HTC PO S650 leather pouch.:cool:

[HTC One X] HTC-Gunge:
Ordered it from http://www.htcaccessorystore.com (expansys) so paid full £17.99 but whats an extra £10 when its to hold something that I paid £470 for :eek:
[HTC One X] Born Twitchy:
Just like all my phones I'll buy a neoprene pouche because the phone will feel better in my pocket and won't slip out.

I don't like the phone being thicker or bigger, neither the looks of a casing.

Never had scratches or chipped marks on my phones.
[HTC One X] maverick1103:
I will get a pouch for the One X, will want to show it off so don't want a case for it unless I can find a see through thin one etc.

Working at CPW I get discount so can get one of the official HTC one for about £6 instead of £20 :D I love the quality of the HTC cases.
[HTC One X] flyaway9000:
Ive dropped my htc sensation many times dents all around it but then i just bought a replacement back white cover an now it looks brand new, But with the one x im going to have to get a case cos you cant remove the cover I dont want to but I have to I drop everything tbh damn my hands :mad:
[HTC One X] flyaway9000:
Clove has the same official htc pouch for a tenner

[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Got it for £8.95 as well :)
[HTC One X] myself11:
For screen protection I always use Vikuiti. It has lasted loooooong time on my HD2.

Regarding the back of the phone, the only 2 serious times I left my HD2 fall the pouch was on the other hand, so I think a back case is more effective.
[HTC One X] hillmie87:
A case for me

despite having the gorilla glass, it has been proven that it is not entirely unshatterable. Seen this pics of broken galaxy S2, and it has made me a bit paranoid. :eek:

and like protecting the screen with antiglare film, just to make sure the resale value doesnt drop too much. lol.
[HTC One X] craftycarper1:
Happy days.:cool:
[HTC One X] twistedh:
After watching various YouTube videos, I feel more safe about it being bare on the screen. You really need to get at it in order to scratch it.

I took the screen protector off my sg2 today and it's like a new phone! The protective film was spoiling how good the screen actually looks.
[HTC One X] PaulWilks:
I'm definitely getting a case- although I'll hang fire until something really sturdy comes along from either Otterbox, or CaseMate. I know they add significant bulk to the phone but when you drop it you'll be wishing it's something really protective.

Definitely not getting screen protector. I find them a nightmare to apply properly without bubbles and are just awful. I trust the gorilla glass :)
[HTC One X] lewyharvey:
Gorilla glass

I was always a strong believer in Gorilla Glass, however My Sensation XE has picked up a tiny 2mm scratch from being in the same pocket as my car keys. Think I will go back to screen protectors.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
Phone and car keys in the same pocket?! I don't like doing that even with a slip case AND screen protector on
[HTC One X] uranis:
I really dont want to get a case for this phone, i just love the design and putting a case will just add bulk and ruin the feel of the phone. I might just go with a leather pouch. Wondering if a Galaxy Nexus pouch would work with the one x.
[HTC One X] Born Twitchy:
Any links on a neoprene pouch?

I noticed they are often not tall enough.
[HTC One X] twistedh:
I try to avoid having anything in the same pocket as my phone aside from my wallet. If you put keys in there as well you're asking for scratches imo!
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
I'll deinitely put a screen protector on; Gorilla Glass doesn't protect **** when it comes to scratches.

Case; Maybe.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
Certainly Debatable after viewing certain videos.
[HTC One X] MaXmeOliver:
It may protect against kitchen knives, but it has no chance against a few grains of sand or a pair of keys nagging the screen in a pocket. I've had the LG O2X, and I got several deep scratches.
[HTC One X] Hampa_D:
yupp let them test it with some fine sand and i think they will change their mind. me myself is going for a screenguard (til the honeymoon ends) and some sort of case, probably one of the ones i linked to in the case thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1543426
[HTC One X] :
Always used a screen protector and case. Gorilla glass allows you to carry as many kitchen knives in your phone pocket as you like, but as someone already said, a grain of sand will scratch your screen. Especially if you use a pouch.

Tip for screen protectors: Apply them in your bathroom immediately after having a shower. The steam takes all the airborne dust out, and you stand a much better chance of a bubble free application.

Pouches are only protecting your phone until you take it out to use it! And when are you most likely to drop it? Plus as i mentioned earlier, get a grain of sand in there, and you drag it across your screen removing the phone.

My Desire S is in pristine condition for sale to fund my one x purchase. Will be using the same combo of screen protector and Case Mate Tough Case on my One X. I take the case off when home to enjoy the aesthetics of the phone.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
I can't say I get my pockets full of sand that often ;-)
[HTC One X] Ruudfood:
Exactly!

If Invisible Shield do an all-body protector then that's probably the only thing I'll consider. Much better than a bulky case...or a pouch!

[HTC One X] R3DH3AD:
I have ordered a cheap Gel cover for mine from amazon.co.uk will let you knwo what its like when it arrives. I have had my I9000 with one of these on for last 2 years and it is the first time I have a phone that is not scratched to bits. I'm not the most careful person.
[HTC One X] :
Lol! In which case i can recommend getting an Aquapac case. I have one for when i go boating. The phone is completely submersible, floats, and the touch screen works through the case.

In two years your are the first person to struggle. Twice. Good work.
[HTC One X] :
I've just ordered this one on Ebay UK:

I hope it will not bee too big with the cover :)
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
How much did you pay? You can get the official HTC leather pulltab case for £8.95.
[HTC One X] :
About £5, shipping included... but I didn't know the HTC one had this low price (I've never look at official gadgets since they usually cost too much... this was not the case...).. Do you think the original one will better suit the One X? This is said to be for HTC One X / HD 2 / One S / Desire HD, maybe it is too generic?

Do you think that the strip that will pull up the phone could blacken the White One X after a lot of up-down movements?
[HTC One X] Audioboxer:
Can't really answer any questions about the one you bought, but I had the official one for the desire for 1.5 years and it was great.

My One X case arrived today, the inside is super soft and the outside leather is quite nice.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-H...sesPouches&hash=item5d32aa0e98#ht_1812wt_1139

Make an offer of £8.95 and it'll auto accept.

Clove wanted over £14 once vat & delivery was added.

Damn, now I just have to wait for the phone, the screen protectors & the case.

Hate waiting for ANYTHING!

I'm like you, I can wait for my HTC One X and I'm waiting also for the cover and the Sim Cutter + Adapter :)

Can you add a vote?

I'd like to see, how many use protectors in percentage.

I ordered the official pouch today for £7.40 from Amazon.co.uk.

[HTC One X] Spl4tt:
i never used any case or screen protector.

i use the phone as it is, i hate the feeling with the case

even the screen feels different with a protector on it.

fk those cases and protectors!!

after almost 30months with the HD2, it has just some scratches.. and this is ok!

better i take some scratches than using it with a ugly case.
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
Case yes, screen protector no.

Unfortunately, the white one seems to be a dirt magnet. any dirt on your fingers will end up as nice black fingerprints and marks on the back of the phone.

They wipe off nice and easy, but that's not the point.
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
You mean yellowish like the white xbox360 gamepad?

I tried to get rid of the mud, but it can only be removed mechanically :(
[HTC One X] MinecraftZombi.es:
I doubt it'll get as bad as that. Gamepads tend to get quite a bit of sweat rather than just dirt. The mixture of the two is what turns onto that crap that seems to cement itself to the pad.

no, it's more just general dust and crap.

you know when you've been reading a newspaper and some of the ink sticks to your fingers, and next thing you know, you're leaving black fingerprints on whatever you touch next....just like that.

It's not a big thing, but just something to be aware of.

I live in an old dusty house and am often covered with mud and bike grease, so it's not good for me. but a case solves my problem. I would imagine most people won't have the issue but just so long as people are aware they might...

And they are very easy to wipe of most of the time. a clean damp thumb wiped them off easy enough, but i could see it getting annoying if i didn't have a case on it.
[HTC One X] twistedh:

[HTC One X] jaspabt:
I have never managed to get a screen protector to fit perfectly without atleast 1 bubble somewhere or a corner not sitting flush. I am going to try this device without one. As much as I dont want it getting scratched I will hopefully not get in a secnario where it might. I will be purchasing a wallet/pocket pouch for it. As people have rightly said, why carry an excellent looking device to hide it behind a rectangular chunk of plastic. The puches also have the soft innards which help clean the screen when pulling it out :)
[HTC One X] :
I hate screen protectors, I've never been able to place one perfectly too... when I tried on my Ipad,i removed the film on one side,placed it onto the Ipad and then removed the other side film.. it was placed perfectly... wow, i thought... two days later,I was still thinking I placed it very well... but then, I realized that with the second film I removed also the screen protection :-) now I live without a screen protector and using a book-style case for the Ipad :-)
[HTC One X] tsleng:
I won't bother with screen protector but bought a cheap ass £2.9 pull out case from Amazon.

This one,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/KC-Electron...ctive-Pouch/dp/B007G8XGJ6/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_1

I am not really fussed about cases as they are just to protect my phone when in the pocket. I like to take it out when using as I have always been for the past 3.5 years with my iPhone and Desire.

In fact, the original cover from the iphone became the desire one still usable now.. :D

We shall see how the £2.9 case performs haha
[HTC One X] F@nt0m:
I always use an otterbox commuter case for whatever phone I get. I am pretty hard on my phones and they are likely to take at least one fall a day.. As for screen protector I do use one myself. I often do not have enough pockets to keep everything separate and would end up scratching the screen with my keys or loose change at some point. If you do opt for the screen protector though I would recommend getting a decent one. I use AT&Ts which did cost more, but it does not limit my touch screen at all and provides a nice Matte finish. Other brands have left my screen only partially responsive.
[HTC One X] twistedh:
no, sorry man. i looked and cant see any options
[HTC One X] YorubaDey:
Just got the SP P730. Worst piece of crap I've ever had. I didn't even have time to apply it before I noticed that there was a piece of something on it, so I trashed it. The second film I applied perfectly still bubbles.

What a piece of garbage. Paid €13 for it including shipping. What a WASTE of money. I'm raging right now. I'm SOOOOOO MAAD.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Wow, and there I was thinking this thread had died before anybody got their phone. :D

Awesome job on finding the right thread, dude!
[HTC One X] YorubaDey:
Got any recommendations? I don't want to scratch the screen. I waited 3 days for this SP P730 garbage. Maybe I should just buy a case and forget the screen protector.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

The screens are scratch resistant, but that one tiny grain of sand that gets inside your case in the lining will certainly scratch your screen each time you take out or slide in the phone. The Gorilla class is pretty resistant to scratching by metal objects like keys or coins as the metal is softer compared to the glass, which is why they always demo trying to scratch the screen with a key. Sand/silica on the other hand is essentially glass, and you can scratch glass with glass.

It's a chance you take.

The screen of the HTC One X is slightly shaped at the edges so you will not find a screen protector to cover it completely as it would not stick where the class slightly curves. You often see complaints about this, but that is just how it is.

A probably fitted screen protector will hardly be visible, but that is the trick, fitting them well. I've had phones where it is fitted so well no one believes there is a screen protector on there. Sometimes it fits so well, I almost want a screen protector for the screen protector as I might not fit it so well the next time :)

A screen protector will still scratch, more so than perhaps the class, but it is very satisfying to replace the protector with a new one to get a perfect display again, something not possible if you had scratches on the screen.

Also be aware that some screen protectors may not have a cut out for the proximity sensor, which can cause malfunctions.

Regards

Phil
[HTC One X] YorubaDey:
I had the Optimus 2x. It had Gorilla glass, and only one scratch after about a year's usage. And that phone I threw around everywhere.

The thing that worries me is all the complaints about the HTC One X screen not being very scratch resistant.

Thanks for an excellent reply though!
[HTC One X] twistedh:
Had mine since launch day, don't use a cover or screen protector. Not a scratch on it and it's always in use pretty much.

I live in the city so there's little chance sand to scratch it and work in a kitchen environment. It has survived most things thrown at it, very durable imo
[HTC One X] BenPope:
No protector or case, prefer the naked beauty of her curves in my hand.
[HTC One X] nickyg008:
Case yes. Just a standard side flip case off amazon (looks a bit more professional for work imo) and the phone feels too smooth that it will drop out my hand so the case is feels 'safer' lol. I will never use a screen protector. Think they're crap.
[HTC One X] Laurentius26:
I don't bother with a screen protector, a scratch is something you can't remove, if you have you'll regret you didn't use one. ;)

And one more advise, it's better to buy a branded more expensive screen protector as they fit much nicer.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'm very happy with my BestSkinsEver full body protectors.

I think a screen protector is more important than a case. (At least for me)

Lots of pictures and a video added to my thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1674946

My advice to anyone looking for a screen protector, do not bother with a dry-application version - they are all crap.

And if you ain't willing or confident enough to apply a wet protector, do some reading and watch some videos - even the worst wet protector is better than the best dry version.
[HTC One X] John Freeman:
No case for me. Never used them. Id rather prefer it to have some battle scars or whatever, than hide it in some ugly case. Plus it feels durable enough *touch wood*.
[HTC One X] urbanlarsson:
I never really bother with cases or screen protectors, but bought a silicone case for my HOX. I find its easier to hold in 1 hand with the case on, so using that now.

Won't bother with a screen protector though.
[HTC One X] Brac20:
No screen protector for me. I do use a leather pouch for when it's in my pocket though.

No scratches yet
[HTC One X] TimeTomorrow:
Not having a screen protector doesnt make sense. Gorilla glass is certainly not immune to scratches, and having a screen protector doesn't cost anything. A case, on the other hand, adds too much bulk.
[HTC One X] bigdirtyjase:
On my old Xperia Arc I had a screen protector but took it off because it got really cloudly.

I got one on my One X now (the person I brought it from put one one)...and it's fine. As long as it's put on properly and you can see the screen clearly then it's fine.

A case on the otherhand is up to user taste. also depends on what cover you get. I'm not a fan of the rubber cases as they get weak and get loose. I wouldn't mind getting a hard case (most likely the offical HTC ones)
[HTC One X] Raider0001:
Genuine HTC PO S650 Leather Slip Pouch is not even made with real leather, its synthetic that breaks easily, if i knew that before...
[HTC One X] djbosanac:
i am selling cases for the OneX, and i am using a case.

But i would like to use a screenprotector to/

For serval reasons, like selling the phone after one year etd.//
[HTC One X] Polarfuchs:
I'm using this pouch. It is still ok after two month.

You have to be careful though, if you hold it on the edges it will widen and the phone can fall out.

So better hold it on the front and backside.
[HTC One X] rimad:
Hell no!!! I hate people that put all kind of crap on their phones. Companies spend millions to design the phone and you put some rubber **** on it and ruin everything.

It's just a phone! Enjoy it while you can and then buy a new one!
[HTC One X] kentrix.si:
I've never used screen protector and probably never will, protector looks ooogly :)

Phone's screen is designed to withstand touching, is it not?

Before HOX I had HTC Desire, I never used any protector on that one either, screen still looks like brand new.

I'm using HOX for almost two months now, no scratches whatsoever. :)
[HTC One X] projectkennedy:
I had a nexus case on my phone when I first got it in April, As long as it's a rubbery/silicone case and you don't mind the fact that all the holes are in the wrong place, sure it would work.
[HTC One X] asafy:
No

Why bother ? if the phone is always covered with a case I can't see it.

Rather have it the other way around, no case, until the device is badly scratched, and only then put it inside a case.

I had an HTC Desire till I got my HOX, the desire was without any case for at least a year and no serious scratches.
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Resale value, I tend to switch phones regularly so when it comes time to sell I'd rather it be in good condition than not so it gets a better resale value.
[HTC One X] andyl66:
Haha the only time you need a screen proc is when you go to the beach or if you're building a house, the only stuff that can scratch gorilla glass is sand, even then the scratches will be minimal. Also the one X is using the newer type of g glass which is even better. All you'll achieve by using a screen proc is make it slightly less touch sensitive and slightly less clear.
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

The problem appears to be the oleophobic coating that is getting fine scratches rather than the glass.

[HTC One X] bailie1912:
Cases are good but often small bits get inside a scrape the phone
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Now that I can believe. Seriously dislike ruining a phones aesthetic with cases.
[HTC One X] atvxda:
I HIGHLY recommend everyone to apply a screen protector to their phone.

I NEVER use them, never really had the need to do so. My last 6 phones (all HTC's btw) had NO screen protector, not single scratch (I had dropped my HD2 several times too, that thing was a tank).

I purchased my HTC One X shortly after its release. I was recording my 1 year old daughter recently and was sitting in my living room floor (all hardwood) and the phone must have been not 3 feel from the floor when it slipped out of my hand and landed on my wood floor face down. I have about 5 scratches on the screen, 3 of which are long and visible :crying:

Needless to say, I am very dissapointed. My rear camera lens has a good scratch on it and now my screen. I never thought I would be this upset with an HTC device. Sucks...
[HTC One X] ladyhaly:
I use a matte screen protector and a silicon case. My HOX is my baby and, truthfully, I like heavier so it doesn't slip out of my hand especially when I'm multitasking and in a hurry. The screen protector I put on because I cannot tolerate even hairline scratches. Especially since it's highly likely that I'd sell this next year to buy the next HTC flagship.
[HTC One X] vkrd:
All I want is the screen to look perfect. Even the slightest scratch would bother me. That's why I already use screen protection.
[HTC One X] rockcruze:
The screen pops out in the HOX, i really like the way it looks but it also makes me extra carefull, same with the cam.

In other phones, the screen was either flat or in the same level as the phone's body, so the chances were rare that your phone will get scratches in a similar situation you faced with One X.
[HTC One X] Rekoil:
Screen protectors are of no use on a device with gorilla glass and cases distort the beauty of this design, don't use either is my opinion.
