[HTC One S] syntropic:
Just wanted to post this case I got which I am surprised I like. I originally wanted the Cruzerlite, as I thought getting a soft grip was going to be necessary.

Before I ordered it, I was passing by a TMO, and being worried about damaging it, I thought I better bite the bullet and overpay for temporary/backup case for my anticipated Cruzerlite. I ended up getting this Skullcandy hard case. I already had a screen protector.

While not translucent, nor soft/gel based, the thin case fits immaculately precise and adds but a couple of mm to the dimension. Also, while I wanted a translucent case, this one was white & chrome acrylic plastic. It's not real chrome obviously, but also, it's not painted plastic, but rather solid, so the chrome will not wear off.

So, while it does evoke the look of an iPhone, it's not a bad case at all. It is not going to provide shock absorbance like a gel-based case, the fact that the One-S is already aluminum mitigated this need. So for now, I am going to skip the Cruzerlite.

Downside is that you get f*cked in the ass by TMO. This was $30. But also, I checked the Skullcandy website and the price was the same. It must have diamond chips blended in with the acrylic.

Sorry guys, hadn't realized people were looking for more pics - just took them!

Ignore my scratched up/dirty table please. The cat likes it. ;)

And finally.... I put this pure black/white zebra print under it just so you can see the level of frosting - it's pretty light frosting on the back, so if you want to be able to put something behind it and see through, you can. :)

I'm using the D30 case and I'm pretty happy. Only thing it feels hard to press the volume buttons.
[HTC One S] Elloco305:
I just got my cruzerlite androdian case and its awesome. Super thing grippy enough for work and I got it in white not thinking about my dirty hands affecting color which I just noticed it did. Though a simple clean with a baby wipe took care of it :)

Thank you guys for the pictures. I'm looking to get yet another case but still haven't decided! :x
[HTC One S] h.han:
Hi have you got the nillkin case yet? Looking forward to your review.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Nope, still no sign of it :(

Giving it till Tuesday and if there is still nothing, going to email them and see what has happened.

In the mean time I just ordered a TPU smoke black case for £3 the other day so should hopefully get that sometime tomorrow and if not Monday then.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Just finished writing a very brief review of the TPU gel case there, so here you go :)

Thanks. I read a couple other reviews too. Lol.

Good site.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Sent an email to nillkin on Sunday instead and they still haven't got back to me, so no idea what is going on :(

Doesn't look like I will be getting the case at all now, been 3 weeks since they got back to me asking for address etc. I know the delivery wasn't going to be quick, but it should have been here by now.

Will just order the rock case or the diztronic matte case for £8 on ebay.

Sorry about that guys :(
[HTC One S] h.han:
If it's sent from China, it could be still on the way. Three weeks, 15 working days, could take longer. I last time waited more than 4 weeks...
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Hmmm suppose :p

I will give it another week and a bit and see what happens then :)

[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Still no sign of the nillkin case and no word back from them, so I am not holding my breath any longer :(

Could show up in 2 weeks time or it may never show up at all.

Just went and ordered this tonight, so will be doing a full review of it, hopefully receive it within a week or 2, knowing my luck, the nillkin will show up tomorrow :p

I purchased one of the clear with grey sides Body Glove cases from the T-Mobile store about 1 week ago.

Didn't really care for it from the start. The grey sides were just a bit too stiff and they extended a bit past the phone all the way around, so whenever I would grab the phone, I was grabbing this hard plastic edge. The material (grey edges again) also just didn't have a pleasant feel to it when holding the phone.

I happened to win a gift certificate to CruzerLite the very next day and ordered three of their cases. Two of them were pre-orders, but received the other one (white) in just a couple of days (very fast shipping) and I love it. Feel much nicer to hold everything about it seems better, including the fact that it wraps around the top and bottom a bit more.

Can't wait to get the other two, and I'll be returning the Body Glove back to TMobile tomorrow.
[HTC One S] kadison:
Thanks. I've just ordered one of these. Bit too late though, dropped my S on a hard floor yesterday. I was gutted :crying: I'd made a temporary pouch out of the bubble wrap it came in, but it slipped out as I tried to put it back in my pocket :(

Put a good sized ding on the top left corner (down to the alumimium) and a couple of small dents on bottom left (not through the coating). It ended up face down too but the only damage to the screen was a tiny dot right at the bottom under the soft keys. Very lucky.

I'm trying to embrace the damage as 'character'!
[HTC One S] elarella:
OUCH! Sorry to hear that, mate. I use a D30 case from T-Mobile on mine and so far I haven't had any mishaps. I know that it has been reviewed on here before, but I tend to prefer that case. Not too bulky and since I got the clear version, it has the orange D30 strips on the sides. Kinda gives it a little flare. :laugh:
[HTC One S] civicsidustyu:
Ouch
[HTC One S] knickerblogger:
I just bought two for $14 total, did you really pay 2.66 with shipping included?
[HTC One S] XO:
favorite ase was the clear and orange d30 case....
[HTC One S] droidkevlar:
Just ordered the new cases from Cruzerlite. I think they were called the Persona's of Andy back when I had the Nexus. I went with 3 diff ones since they are some pretty kick-ass new ones out there. I will write a review in a new thread with pics once I get them tomorrow. These are the 3 I got. CANT WAIT!

[HTC One S] spartanstew:
I think you'll like them.

I received mine over the weekend and love them. They don't have the "ribbed" sides like some of the other Cruzerlites, but they feel great and the cutouts are perfect. I got these two:

(edit: well, can't post links yet (10 posts, really? Take it down to 3), but I got the ones called "Peeking Andy" and "Multiplied")
[HTC One S] zaxondis:
Been thinking of getting one of these myself. Do you use it as a wallet by chance, or just a case? The wallet I carry is pretty minimalist already, but I thought I might be able to go even more minimalist and get a case like this and eliminate carrying 2 things.

Does it have a pouch next to those card slots by chance?

Appreciate your review and any feedback.
[HTC One S] droidkevlar:
I had some of them for my Nexus but diff designs. I know when I got my A2 case for the One S, it was better than the Gnex's so Im hoping its the same way for these. I use these cases as like my fancy ones, lol. Damnit I should have done quicker shipping, LMFAO
[HTC One S] Elloco305:
When you get them take pics and a little review please? :)
[HTC One S] droidkevlar:
Will do. I will create a new thread with a lil write up and a few pics.
[HTC One S] droidkevlar:
I just received them. I will do a write up later with more detailed pics as I have to work some mad OT today. But here is a teaser pic. I will have a new thread up some time in the next day or so with more pics and a review of what I think of them.
[HTC One S] Elloco305:

That is real nice. But the cover is metal. Has to affect signal and wifi
[HTC One S] fusk:
I just ordered that one. 2.95$ is insane, i do not understand how it's even possible to create something like that, that cheap, with free shipping international. It just boggles my mind.
[HTC One S] PcFish:
TPU pellets are about $.50/lb, so they should never be that expensive.
[HTC One S] fusk:
I do not understand. Don't know what tpu or Ib is or how that influences price.

But if i want to send a postcard, just within my country it's like 0.80€

So, someone has to design, mold, produce, ship, repackage, ship worldwide and still make enough money of 2.95$ that it'll be worthwhile the time, machinery and effort spend. It's just crazy.

Just did a quick search for "one s etui" and picked the first tpu cover i could find 6.5€, including shipping it's 10.4€ and that's not even that expensive, yet someone else does it for 2.2€ from the other side of the planet
[HTC One S] Troute:
TPU is what the case is made of, pellets of that material = about $0.50 per 500g he says, labour costs in China are nothing.

As for the rest, economies of scale apply, here in the UK Chinese sellers often use drop shipping addresses, they send one big case over to that address cheaply and the item is then posted using UK postal service by the person at that address.

Hello guys, i have a quick question..

Nillkin vs Rock?

Nillkin hard cover case and Rock hard cover case

I have it Rock case on SGS3, and i was happy...

Is Nillkin case better than Rock, or or are both equal to?

Sry for poor english..
[HTC One S] ihateusernames:
I have the Nillkin but have never used the Rock.

Looking at photo's, the Rock looks pretty much identical to the Nillkin. I love my Nillkin so I don't think you could go wrong with either.
[HTC One S] Roundtableprez:
In case anybody was wondering, the otterbox for our phone is amazing. It doesn't make the phone too much bigger. And it feels great in your hands. On a sidenote about otterbox is they have this cheap built in plastic screen protecter. You can just pop it out if you don't like it. (I've done this with every otterbox I've owned) and yes this case will make your phone feel indestructible. (Even if it actually isn't :p)
[HTC One S] zujko:
Hello guys, can recommendations for a case that is made (rubber) of coarse material, not slipping out of your hands?

Nillkin and Rock products is smoother case of materials, instead of coarse..

Cases in canada

i found a two pack of silicon cases at futureshop in Canada but what i really want is a otter case can anyone suggest where i can find one:p
[HTC One S] bo6o:
Today I equipped my One S with a perforated plastic cover and transparent screen protector(I hate that I always put it to one side, and not straight in the middle). I love the case - its very thin and a little bit soft...
[HTC One S] davor.dumeljic:
I have silicium black case, it cost in Serbia 400 rds = 3.5euro. I'm very surprise width it because phone is several time fail down and case give them full protection. Only one think I don't like and that is my phone isn't thin like without case (now is double size).
[HTC One S] Gazzellone:
I have the original Flip cover by HTC. I love it. In pict isn't that good, but when you see it from real, it's really different.
[HTC One S] slom33k:
Could U send more info abut that case ? looks very nice. any links or anything? cheers !
[HTC One S] bo6o:
I bought it from a shop in my town, so any link would be useless, but I belive they bought it from internet, so search for perforated case...
[HTC One S] zaak00:
+1 for Diztronic silicone case. Really like the look and feel of it. It fits perfectly and the matte back gives a nice grip on the phone.

Highly recommend! :D
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Rock quicksand case:

Pros:

- Very light, doesn't add much weight to the phone

- very thin, a bit thinner than the diztronic case and it doesn't make the phone feel much bigger

- phone is more comfortable to hold

- good grip, however, not as grippy as what a lot of people make it out to be imho, was expecting it to be really grippy

- cut outs are accurate

- my gripe with the diztronic etc. was the way that the case took away the minimal sleek design of the front and this is much better, but still is somewhat ruined as expected

- sweat marks, fingerprints etc. aren't a problem

- the case looks very nice under any lighting conditions

- camera lens is slightly below the surface of the case, literally a fraction of a mm though

Cons:

- whilst feeling very nice, it still pales in comparison to the MAO aluminium uni-body

- difficult to remove the case, feel like I am going to break the case when trying to take it of

- can't see it protecting the phone from medium-high drops on concrete (the top and bottom of the phone is also exposed)

Of course you also loose "perceived" quality. It is kind of hard to describe the "feel", it is a bit like worn out sandpaper but nicer if that makes any sense

Personally I think the nillkin super shield case would have been even nicer, unfortunately the only place it was being sold from was located in Hong Kong through Ebay so didn't fancy waiting months for it to be delivered and having to deal with returns or whatever.

HTC have just done too good of a job with the design and materials for the one S so it really is impossible to find any case, which will be as good for the design, perceived quality and "feel", they really have spoiled me for those areas.

I am very pleased with the case on the whole and can definitely see it staying on.

Pretty crap pic, but it was the best that I could get!

Another + for Diztronic

Same here, went from the BodyGlove to the Diztronic, very tight/smooth fit. Liked the Bodyglove but it broke in the top corner as others have said on the forum. Good thing about the Diztronic is that it will allow the One S to fit in a arm sleeve (highly prized by us runner-types).

Hard Case Question

Hello everyone,

I have an HTC One S and was also considering getting a case. I always liked hard cases but my past experience shows that they cause scratches on the side of the phone. The One S that i have is silver and people say its scratch resistant. Would it damage the phone if i do get a hard case? Any help would be appreciated thanks.
[HTC One S] Mercado_Negro:
I purchased a Ballistic Shell SG a couple of days ago and I couldn't be happier with it. Solid and great quality, the best case I've had so far. In my opinion it is much better than Otterbox's.
[HTC One S] eddiemurphy:
Definetly is. My old otterbox for my one s makes my phone look like a huge cockroach :D
[HTC One S] rickyoon.vegas:
I currently own about 8 cases for One S.

3 cheap eBay basic cases, PowerSkin, Ballistic Smooth, 2 unknown brand anti-shock cases.

They all serve their purpose, but I gotta say, Ballistic Smooth case is my favorite case for daily usage.
[HTC One S] CuzCrostyPwns:
Interesting. Too bad the ballistic smooth isnt availanble in black though.

I never use cases. The back of my phone has become bumpy, haha and there are ugly scratches on the corners which just oughts me to just replace the uni cover.

found an AWESOME case by tmobile, it's very slim, plain black but very good for protection

it has the material D3O which is very protective in any event of a drop. i've dropped my one s 4-5 times on concrete and the phone usually lands on the corner (the most vulnerable pressure point for a screen to crack) with no damage what so ever and a few times i've dropped it on tile and the phone yet remains as new :)

best part is i only paid only $15(USD) at the t-mobile store

I have recently purchased a new hard case which i am very happy with. Just $3.98 from ebay with free shipping

It has kind of a premium feel and as the name says is skidproof but also doesn't add much bulk to the phone.

Unfortunately it doesn't come in grey color as my phone but the black one looks nice as well.

Pictures are from the ebay post not mine. Let me know if you want some more from my Grey phone+black case combo and i will add them.

For a while i used Case-Mate Tough Case Black - HTC One S. It provide good shock protection because rubber layer between phone and case. This case good in a hand but add some in size. Now I use phone without case.
[HTC One S] Janderson88:
Yup. I'm still using my Ballistic Smooth, a few months after buying it. I have my phone out and about all day (cable installer), and the VERY few times I've dropped it, it just bounces on the corner a couple times, and comes to rest. I do still put my Diztronic on when I go to the gym, only because it's just slimmer, and goes in my pocket easier. Ballistic Smooth is my number one, though.

After my Otterbox broke I went looking for a replacement and found that Krusell now do their OrbitFlex case for the One S. Not the most styish perhaps but good quality leather cases using the multidapt system. I've had one for just about every phone I've owned and have all the bits (belt clips car holders) already. I ordered one off eBay UK for £15.

Case with kickstand and BUILT-IN screen protector

Was wondering if anyone has any experience with these BUILT-IN screen protector cases, non otterbox defender, seems like a clone.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trk...Built+in+Screen+Protector"&_sacat=0&_from=R40

Now I've seen cases that look just like this on ebay, without the mention or pictures of the built-in screen protector, but the description reads:
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
just bought an official HTC one S original case on ebay...hope that it's really original!
[HTC One S] Shane_IL:
Regarding the built in screen protectors - I had one (not otterbox) on my old phone, they're not so good, they eventually get all scratched up and you can't just replace them like normal screen protectors because you need to then replace the case itself. What works best for me is to get about 10 of the cheap ones off ebay for a few dollars and just change them every few months.
