[HTC One S] pyrocide:
I have had the ballistic case + zagg since day 5 of release of the phone. Dropped it more times than can remember but still held up. Awesome case.
[HTC One S] Shane_IL:
Same here, when I got mine the Ballistic Case was the only one available. Had some pretty bad drops (including down 2 flights of stairs), no damage to the phone a year and a half on.
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
Its actually pretty funny, when i took it out of the case to replace the battery I had the ballistic logo on the metal case of the phone from where it had been rubbing from the rubber casing.

Guess it had been in for so long its now a ballistic branded phone too.
[HTC One S] b.imihai:
I have minimal protection : no screen protection and a case that don't protect the bottom and the top. My scren have almost no scratchs and the paint from the top is damaged. This phone's case paint is fragile ( the black one ) and i recommend using a full case ALL the time !
[HTC One S] Cillu:
Yeah, I have the black one too and the top paint is chipping away from me putting it into my pocket and taking it out over and over. I don't think I've ever dropped it either. It has something to do with the anodized paint fading.
[HTC One S] Djkid28:
Case Suggestions?

I need a case that is thin but can also protect the corners as well, not like the snap on ones. Something like this~

http://www.obostore.com/Rock-Magic-Cube-TPU-Soft-Case-for-HTC-One-S-p-5254.html

I have the t-mobile model too so preferably a case that goes with the blueish greyish color of the phone itself? Thank you!
[HTC One S] oushi:
I've had the black matte TPU case from Diztronic and love it to death. I've paired that case with a screen protector since day 1 and together they've helped it survived dozens of drops.

[HTC One S] rosswhite:
I use this case as well, tried quite a few different one's but always come back to the Diztronic. Its well made, adds minimal bulk and covers all the edges of the phone. Highly recommended.
[HTC One S] indigenica:
On ebay I found a cheap original case.
[HTC One S] noble8:
I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360444052877

Either as an in between case before case-mate and the likes come out with the good stuff, or my long-term if the phone lives up to HTC's structural praise. :D
[HTC One S] ascot17:
My phone has turned up today as has this case from ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/190661000546

Pros:

Nice colour

Great Fit

Thin so adds little bulk to the phone

Slightly thicker than the camera bulge so protects the lens

Cons:

Sharp inside edges makes it rather uncomfortable to hold

Does not protect the vunerable top edge of the phone

I really like the back cover of my phone, So i think im just going to invest in a clear TPU case, I just need a bit of grip, because my grey One S is soooo damn slippy... If it wasnt for this reason id have no case at all..... Just a screen protector.
[HTC One S] TurkzZ:
ganna opt for the HTC One S Slip Pouch PO S740 until a good quality silicone one is out that covers the corners properly, whats the point of the hard cases they offer now, all of them leave the corners exposed :S
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
Cannot find a Clear TPU case to save my life !!!!!

I like the colour of my phone (grey) i dont wanna hide it with some florescent pink case !!

I think il get a pouch / sock until some newer accessories come out.

hi mI bought this in clear and in grey colour (for my grey one s)

amazon : HTC One S Clear Gel Silicone Case Cover + Screen Protector & Protective Sock By Kolay®
[HTC One S] raikesy:
I like the look of this, what level of protection does it offer the top edge of the phone? Does it cover the top edge? The other thing that puts me off is that I wouldn't mind a case that protrudes further than the camera lens.
[HTC One S] ascot17:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-hc-c740-hard-shell-for-htc-one-s-black-p34377.htm

This appears to be identical in design to the case I have (post 22). Does not protect the top or bottom edges. Mine was only £4 though!
[HTC One S] stesa:
unfortunally it doesnt cover the top edge
[HTC One S] pzboyz:
I now have the Nappa Leather fitBag for my One S, it has a nice executive look to it, the seams are well made so hope it will last well. Not having a pull tab like some toehr is not a problem as the bag is soft enough to be able to push the phone out from the bottom of the bag to then pull it from the top of the bag.
[HTC One S] SFP:
Deleted post as I linked to the wrong type of case
[HTC One S] fawnsy77:
can I ask if you had any feedback from the eBay seller in regards to wether he found a mofi pouch to fit the one s as it should as I really like these pouches
[HTC One S] h.han:
On Expansys there is a (I think) genuine HTC clear case (not TPU I was wrong):

http://www.expansys.com/htc-one-s-ultra-thin-hard-shell-hc-c742-clear-229888/

You may have already seen it though.
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
This comes in clear too (c742) but freaking expensive for a case :(
[HTC One S] Stiflerlv:
Anyone know how exactly calls these "cases". They are from leather (soft ones) and with a "string" which u can pull and get your phone out.

Are these OK for helping you not to scratch your phone in your pocket?

Also what you guys think about screen protectors... Needed or not?
[HTC One S] cookpass:
I had one from the same seller and he also sent out the larger size for free, no questions. Guess he'll be sending the right size now though :)

Can't fault them at all.
[HTC One S] fawnsy77:
thanks for that I'll go ahead and get one they look good and I like that softness of a pouch I was just a bit concerned with the phone sticking out of the top of it but you have put my mind at rest
[HTC One S] cookpass:
It's "inside" the case now but the velvety texture, while very nice, does bring the lining with it when you take it out of your pocket. :) Would be better coming out of something a bit looser.

Just bought the "HTC One S Clear Ultra Thin Hard Shell Case (HC C742)" - v. happy with it's minimalist look
[HTC One S] h.han:
it looks very nice and with grey phone, just what I needed!!

Could you please post more pictures of the case on the phone? different angle? thickness? coverage of bottom and top? bulk?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] SFP:
Here are all the ones I've taken so far, including some without the case for comparison.

Let me know if there are other angles you'd like to see ;)

Oh, and there is a video of the case on the Clove blog.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
ooooh that is rather nice :p

i dont like the fact that the top and bottom are not covered... but it does compliment the phone... if the price is right i think i might invest in it
[HTC One S] h.han:
Thanks a lot! I saw the video last night, but that one was with a black one s right? this case does not go with black cos it's not fully transparent, so seems very obvious with the case on black one s. but our grey colour goes with the case pretty well I have to say!!
[HTC One S] raikesy:
Until more cases are available I've got one of these, pretty cheap, excellent fit and covers all the edges. I love the look of those HTC cases, especially the clear one but they don't seem to offer any protection where you'd need it the most if you dropped it, on the top and bottom edges :(

Ive just ordered this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200745665...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1870wt_1270

Its not clear :( but its grey, so it will do for the time being :D

It comes with a TPU Case, A Sock, A screen protector all for £2.75 (free P+P)

theres options to add a 10 pack screen protector, and even a stylus (i already have one)

not bad for the price :D as long as i can get some grip on this bad boy it should be fine
[HTC One S] ascot17:
I have the same case, but found that the fit was a bit too tight. It turned itself off several times because the power button was being help down. I have had to mod it and cut out a hole for the power button.
[HTC One S] raikesy:
Ah never, mine is a bit snug, but not that tight thankfully. I suppose for that price the consistency in manufacturing isn't given much attention :)
[HTC One S] rousseauxy:
I couldn't order that one cause they don't ship outside UK, which sucks cause I think it's better then the one I ordered :( I ordered this one instead, hope it will be a good one.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
that looks nice actually :D i didnt want a black one tho :( but wouldnt mind the free stylus even tho i have one lol
[HTC One S] rousseauxy:
Was one of the few I liked, rest was fancy colors and the stylus is indeed a nice bonus although I ordered the Jot Pro :P My gf will probably end up with the free one hehe ;-)

Will definitely share my experience with the case once I get it and my phone (which should arrive hopefully begin next week ^_^ )
[HTC One S] Droidguy987:
Have you seen the one?

[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
i like that a LOT !!!!

but its not available yet :(. Im gunna buy it when it is though.
[HTC One S] h.han:
Thanks! But not too sure about the Driod robot on the back, why did they put that? I merely want a clear case (does not even have to be TPU) which shows absolutely nothing but the phone which it covers.

Looks like the HTC clear case is what I will get, but it does not cover top and bottom...

OK, got the black TPU case suggested by few posts above from Amazon yesterday, hope it fits and can last until I find my ideal case.
[HTC One S] esk02k:
Just recieved my case, a slim TPU case. Just a cheep one unitll i find something nice. It actually fits and looks really nice. Only thing im not keen on is the glossy back.

Heres some pics :
[HTC One S] ascot17:
Ah.... that one has a cut-out for the power button. Might get one of those - I had to make a hole where the power button is to stop the phone turning itself off!
[HTC One S] h.han:
Yes, mine has the power button covered as well but I prefer this way. Don't know if I cut the power button part off, can I still easily press the button or not, the case still has it thickness it might be too deep to reach the button.

By the way, anyone wants to see the similar case on grey version, let me know I can take some pic when got a chance.
[HTC One S] dave il barbaro:
yes please! Post some pictures!!!;)
[HTC One S] h.han:
[Update] images now should be OK, no idea what happened...

There you go:

pics taken from my incredible s, tried different angles.

In general, with this case on, you really don't see much of the phone apart from the screen. but it provides good protection I think, so for now it's good.

this is the link from amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/HTC-One-Ski...WA24/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334926300&sr=8-1

case is solid black not transparent at all unlike the sales picture seems suggesting semi transparency, but I just don't bother that.

you might try this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/CASE-CELLAP...ZYZO/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1334926300&sr=8-6

it says "transparent black" but at your own risk :)
[HTC One S] dave il barbaro:
I don't know why but I can't see the pictures...
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
me neither, They must be corrupted
[HTC One S] h.han:
edited the post with images are now fine :)
[HTC One S] l3ft3r1s:
I wanted a clear case, so I was considering getting the hc c742...

But after seeing this one, I changed my mind!

Do want!
[HTC One S] dave il barbaro:
Thank you man...Now they are fine... But i hate tpu cases, they scrath my old Samsung wave... I'm looking for a soft silicon one.
[HTC One S] h.han:
Do they? That's quite bad. Thanks I'll be careful of mine. If it ever scratch my one s, I will torture it till it begs me to end its life :)
[HTC One S] nasman:
here are some poor quality ipad pics:

the case doesn't add any noticeable bulk/weight and doubles as a handy stand.

the hard plastic back shell and soft screen cover offer a reassuring layer of protection but the top and bottom phone edges are still exposed in case of an unlucky drop.
[HTC One S] Droidguy987:
I have found 11 colors but they are all out of stock. Seller said amazon should have the cases Monday or Tuesday unless customs wanted to hold them
[HTC One S] dave il barbaro:
These are the scratches i was talking about.

I hope the shiny Plastic of the wave was the fault.
[HTC One S] kenyw:
Had the One S in the Mofi case for about 2 weeks now, quite happy with it although it seems to only just fit - the length is just about right (OK, the phone protrudes by about 1mm) and I can close the case, but it's not that easy to get the phone out in a hurry.

I also gave the official PO S740 leather sleeve a try - nightmare. It was so tight I couldn't get my phone back out of the case, and I had to cut off the other end of the case and rip the stitches to free the phone - what a waste :(
[HTC One S] rmcsc:
Anyone ordered the TPU case with the Android on it?
[HTC One S] h.han:
Just ordered this one from ebay uk, white/clear tpu without much on the back except a logo.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140740773449?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Case will be shipped from China, so only expect it in about 2-3 weeks if not longer. Went on to their website, the company ("Jekod", not the ebay seller) does a lot of cases for different phones so this one should be better than the average ones you can expect from China. Just you have to wire the ebay seller double the price you pay in China but that's the only option to me without leaving my living room...

Looks good only downside is the "Jekod" logo on the back but hope it won't be that obvious.

As soon as I get it will post picture here, meantime let's hope there will be more cases on the market very soon.
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
I have tried the HTC slim leather one. It's useless. Once the phone is in, you can't possibly get it out!

The slim hard case is good, but leaves the top and bottom uncovered and that is where the chips happen.

I now have a gel one, black which is ok and I will be trying out some more in the future.

sent using HTC1S
[HTC One S] h.han:
Just wondering if you have grey version, there is no chipping issue, do you really need the case covering top and bottom or the HTC hard case (clear or black) would just do the job?

Of course, dropping the phone is not considered...
[HTC One S] vasp3690:
I would assume you would not need a gel case in that instance, but I have to admit the coloured grey aluminium will still be easily scratched.

I had markings from simply taking the phone in and out my pocket with the clear slim HTC case, in the front face area top and bottom! Lovely case nonetheless.

[HTC One S] biggangsta1212:
Hey I'm not sure if it was posted or not but where did you get that case?
[HTC One S] SFP:
Online from Handtec - http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php/6525/htc-one-s-clear-ultra-thin-hard-shell-case--hc-c742-

Faultless service - it arrived in less than 24 hours with standard (Royal Mail) delivery.
[HTC One S] SFP:
My other case has just arrived from Amazon - HTC One S Clear Gel Silicone Case Cover + Screen Protector & Protective Sock By Kolay®

First impressions -

Covers top, bottom and sides of phone, and slightly onto the screen (by approx 1mm (?)) so ought to offer the level of protection some peeps were after.

Obviously, bulkier than the HTC Ultrathin, but IMO, not too much so.

Textured edges are very grippy - you'd have to be drunk :eek: to let this slip out of your hands ;)

Case covers on/off button and vol controls which subsequently require more force to operate. (Not a problem - just an observation).

Not completely clear, as you can see from pics, but the "S" sweep contrast between clear/opaque does fit with our HTC One S. :)

Some photos for you, with a couple of side-by-sides of the HTC Ultrathin too.
[HTC One S] h.han:
Thanks man, it looks good, just as you said, bulkier than HTC Ultrathin but does provide better protection on the top and bottom.

My personal thing is, I am not a big fan of the S line case. Just a simple thin fully clear case without anything on the back is exactly what I need.

emmmmm, your comparison actually made me want the HTC ultrathin even more even top and bottom may get scratched.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
I have got this exact one :) I love it, it fits nice and snug, I love the grippy parts down the side, Makes holding it a lot easier... and its a lot clearer than i thought it would be..

I got mine off ebay, it came with a screen protector (perfect fit) and a sock (not too nice but hey it was free) all for £2.75 delivered :D:D very impressed
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Thanks and no problem :)
[HTC One S] Kawaisa:

[HTC One S] djwurm:
I bought the black d30 case ut i gotta say I am kinda skeptical on the D30 protecting anything.. its so thin and hard.. I feel if I drop it its gonna break..

cant wait till otterbox makes a commuter case for this..
[HTC One S] tgtoys:
I picked the same case up yesterday. I was looking for the best balance of least-obtrusive-best-protection I could find. The black case does feel pretty hard (oddly enough, the clear/orange case from D30 felt much softer..hmm :confused:, but wasn't my cup of tea in terms of looks), but according to D30 info there's plenty of science behind how it works. This is from some digging on their website:

What is D3O ®

D3O ® is a patented protective material that combines enhanced chemistry with product engineering to produce high performance shock absorption and impact protections solutions.

The D3O ® material in its raw state flows freely when moved slowly, but on shock, locks together to absorb and disperse energy, before instantly returning to its flexible state. This combined with product engineering and enhanced chemistry, results in a number of high performance impact protective solutions.

How it works

The functionality of the raw material originates from the synergistic effects of the polymer based dilatants. Energy is distributed throughout the synthetic elastomeric polymer and the enhanced chemistry continues to distribute energy on throughout the matrix, significantly reducing the effect of impact.

Simple words: when the D3O ® material is impacted, it acts like a net, reducing and spreading the force over a larger area, minimising the risk of injury or equipment damage. :eek:

Who is using D3O ®

The D3O ® technology is used by the US Special Forces and Ministry of Defence as well as in Sports such as skiing and motorcycling.

So far I'm liking it. It isn't really "grippy", but does stay in my hand better than without a case. Pros so far: Great fit on the One S, slides in and out of pocket easily, and doesn't collect dust or fingerprints. Haven't tested the drop-protection factor yet, and hopefully won't have to, but hey that's what it's for so we'll see. Cons so far: the power and volume buttons are a bit to hard to press, and the case is pushing my screen protector up when I squeeze one side (mainly due to the protector being off center by like a millimeter, with precise dead-center placement this should not be an issue).

Overall: I would recommend this case. I paid $25-$30 US at the Tmobile store (couldn't wait to get it online, oh and Tmobile had buy 2 get 1 free on accessories, so with the purchase of the screen protectors I got a free car dock, not bad:cool:). Did plenty of searching online first but because the One S is still so new there isn't much great stuff out there, mostly the plastic decorative crap.
[HTC One S] h.han:
Been browsing cases for one s for a few days, Nillkin case looks really nice on their sales pics but found in one x forum the actual colour somehow is different from the pics. Maybe due to light or angle.

Wondering if anyone had got this hard case for one s, they are really smart!

Or someone found this in your local store so can take some picture? Thanks!!

I purchased the Body Glove Revel Shell Protective Cover for my HTC ONE S on release day...seemed to me the best protection for the One S at the time of purchase.

It is a bit bulkier than I want, but fit and finish is great!

The included belt clip/stand is very handy. It also comes with an additional plug if you don't desire using the clip.

Going to go back to T-Mobile Store to return this and re-buy it using my 30% off coupon...since I paid full price ($29.99 plus tax).
