This case sits completely flush on the lte version of the phone if you fiddle with it. make sure that the silicon that lines the camera, speaker, and charging port is not sitting under the plastic shell. Otherwise it causes gaps around the rest of the case and misalignment. After about 3 days of fiddling with it ive managed to get it perfect.

Just purchased one based on you review can't wait to get it

Thanks!

Nice review
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eazyweazy3:
Any others pick up this case?

I really like how the neon one looks and am tempted to buy.

Just not sure if I want to drop $30+ on a case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
As fickle as I am with cases, I am STILL using this one as my daily case. I absolutely love it and can't recommend it enough. The price is a litte steep, but it's worth it IMO.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] eazyweazy3:
Well I ordered a neon one from ebay for $25 and should be here soon. I look forward to getting it in and letting you guys know what I think.

So I broke down and bought a case metal head because I can't seem to win any of your contests, I went with the commuter, I really liked it most out of all perfect cutouts, perfect protection, still slim. Think I might get a salicylic for my lady though cause she seems to be a copier of everything I get. Lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elbermu:
Thanks to this review and that the ballistic is a little bulky, uncomfortable in my pocket and the hell to take out I bought this case, add to this that I found it for $17.

Maybe I will get the nillkin TPU too. Ohh, what am I becoming? :what:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
$17 where?

i had a speck one piece case-liked it at first but it gets a lot of dirt and it feels as though it breaks the device when i take it off. Because of you. i'm getting the sillicrylic.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] naouris:
Hi Metalhead I just got my kidigi car cradle but my case mate tough doesn't fit in there properly which means that it doesn't trigger the car mode because it's to thick, would you know if the incipio fits properly?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Sweet! You'll love it!

I have the kidigi dock, it definitely does not fit in there. My Diztronic TPU fits great in it but the Incipio is too thick.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptrle:
Got the case, I'm liking it so far, just didn't expect the silicone sides to be easily loose, prefer it to be a little stiffer, but doesn't really matter. It looks really awesome on the back and feel of it is very solid.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lp_stealth:
I was looking to get one of these cases but when on incipio's site I went to one X ATT version but when I click on the silicrylic case the directory takes me to the world version. is this what you are all buying and it fits or is there a problem on their site. can someone check for me please?

Thanks, Ken
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ptrle:
The silicrylic fits both the Int. and the at&t version.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irvgotti:
great review:good: i wanted to know if anyone has used the trident aegis if so which would you guys prefer it oer the silicrylic
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lp_stealth:
thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I loved the Trident Aegis on my Epic 4G Touch. I wanted to buy one for the One X but after talking to the guys at trident, they said the case fits both the AT&T version and the international version, and in the same breath told me that they have the exact same measurements, which they do not. So I am betting that the camera opening isn't going to line up perfectly with the AT&T versions camera which will piss me off. So... not getting one until I see it on an AT&T One X and can confirm that the camera lines up.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irvgotti:
The video on htcpedia does look like the cut out might be a little high but it doesn't get in the way of the camera lens.

They were using a at&t dummy phone
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] elbermu:
Got mine...

Got my Silicrylic and few hours later I definitely love it... Easy to put/take out of my pocket and those buttons are really easy to press... Thanks for the review.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] swapgut:
MetalHead, thoughtful review of this case, I got the NGP a while back. While I like the feel of it and the mercury color the mis-alignment of the speaker cut-out is the worst con for me.

Did you notice that the new SILICRYLIC SHINE is slight smaller than the SILICRYLIC? Length is down by .01" and depth is down by .10" weight is down by .1oz. A video I saw somewhere showed that the silicone part on the original SILICRYLIC was more loose than my NGP is. Minuscule differences I know, but in your opinion do you think this might even be an improvement on the fit of this case that you have raved about?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
It's hard to comment on a case that I don't own. The regular Silicrylic's silicone is definitely looser than the NGP (I own that one too, same complaints as you), but it's not loose to the point of concern for me. It is still my favorite case and I have a hard time finding any fault with it. BUT... now that I have been made aware of the Shine, I must purchase that one too because I have no self control. I'll do a review when it comes in. I'll be out of town until the 24th though so don't expect a review before then. And thanks for making me spend my money on ANOTHER case. I was doing so good....

edit: Holy crap that case is sexy
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] USFguy:
So I got my Silicrylic today and already put it back for return to amazon, it's just too loose for me. Going to go with the Ballistic SG I can handle the little extra bulk.

Just soothe yourself with some lovely UFO ballads tonight, and this metal head is sorry that you've been enabled!

d3thstalker that was definitely made for the white one and it will be sharp.

MetalHead after posting last night, then getting this notify, plus your review.... damn I'm going to have to get one too. The site says it's got a finish on it and if it chips Incipio is good for taking care of their customers. They sent me a replacement NGP when I called them about the cut-outs being off, the new one is identical though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] d3thstalker:
Nice to know that someone shares the same sentiments as me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fuunkychicken:
Ordered my Silicrylic Shine a couple days ago. Paid for 2 day shipping. I can't wait to get it! I too have issues with buying too many cases. My gf says we could open up a cellphone store with all the stuff I've accumulated lol. If I get it before you, metalhead, I'll post some pictures!

outside of the added bulk, I really love the Ballistic, I mostly work outdoors and get to drop my phone very regularly and it's been very protective :highfive:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] werked:
I tried a search for this but came up with nothing. I'm sure this has been asked somewhere on this forum bc it happened to me a few times on my last android phone. I touch to call a contact....the correct contact is pulled up but when it begins to dial it is a totally different contact. This is very annoying as I t end to use the gesture of placing phone to ear to dial and don't know this has happened until I'm speaking with someone I didn't want to speak with. When it's happening the only way to call the correct number is to dial from dialpad. Any ideas??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
Trippy this happened just once the other day! Totally 100% anomaly

Doing it again. Ugh....I'm going to the AT&T store when I'm back in town from work And asking for a new one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:

A similar thing happened to me but instead I received a txt message that was displayed as the wrong contact.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c5satellite2:
Exactly what I have seen in the past. Dials adjacent entry, shows adjacent text, and it would call the adjacent entry when dialing from texts. It was a Rom issue. Not hardware.

I am having a few issues:

1) When I am using the voice the sound becomes choppy when the phone goes to sleep

2) Google talk uses the hands free speaker and it is too loud

3) I can talk to people who are using google talk on a PC

Am I the only one?

Thanks

I have not describes issues. (CM10 alpha)
[HTC Desire S] faemir:
What version of android are you on? What version of android were the other people on when you say it wouldn't work android to android?

As for the choppy sound issue, have you got a program that is scaling the cpu dependent on the situation (like setcpu)? That could be the issue if it's underclocking the cpu with screen-off.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iztel:
Hey guys. I'm just coming to the 4g touch after hard bricking my Fascinate. I'm a little hesitant to flash an ICS rom on this thing after the brick. From what I'm reading here it seems ICS roms on this phone are even less stable than they are on the Fascinate and causing a lot of hard bricks.

Really the only differences I noticed in ICS were the ability to pull down the notifications bar from the lock screen(which I absolutely loved) and the panorama camera option which can be had using Camera ICS. Is there something else I'm missing?

With better battery life, better performance and stability in GB, what brings you to ICS prior to source being released?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
The risk of bricking has been minimized through the hard work of our Devs and programming community. If you thoroughly read and follow posted installation instructions you aren't likely to brick.

People mainly brick when they get in a rush, or try and take short cuts or simply disregard posted instructions.

There are plenty of enhancements in ICS over GB, I'd suggest people flash a ROM and explore them for yourself. Just read, read, read and ask questions before you ever take any step you are unsure of.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
I'll agree with Esoteric68 here. She's spot on about the 'brick' issue. Do you research before you do anything!

As to the why of it? This is xda developers the people here tend to be into tweaking (in the non-meth sense) with technology and like to ride the bleeding edge of technology or squeeze out the most from the old stuff.

I've like the ICS builds for some of the items you've mentioned. Plus I get to stay ahead of the curve, as it where with my technology. Myself I've only had one application that won't support ICS and found another one to supplant it. I like the smoothness and tweaks I can do with ICS.

There are some really great developers here and some awesome ROMs to play with. Just, as already mentioned, read 1st and be careful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ttrain721:
I was scared to flash ICS for a couple months because it wasn't official but I've done my research like everyone says to do. I can't tell you how many times I've flashed ICS roms this past week, not one scare. Just read up and do as the devs say and you'll be good. If you're not sure, ask questions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iivisionii:
I've got the same question as the op roughly. I know that it isn't much of a risk flashing ICS nowadays, but am wondering what in ICS was worth it for people to make the change. I've looked around and don't see too many features really that I don't see in GB so i feel like i'm missing something.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iztel:
I'm also one who appreciates all the work the devs do to put together these roms for all of us with all the tweaks they put in. Like I mentioned I'm just now waiting to get my 4g touch in the mail tomorrow after bricking my Fascinate. I had been running a number of ICS roms on my Fassy prior to the brick and while I loved playing with them it seemed like the tweaks the devs put into the roms were unrelated to the actual update of the OS. I had been flashing roms for that phone since the early Froyo days so I had thought I had a pretty good idea of what I was doing and always read the proper way to flash things but then one fateful day I tried to flash the latest MIUI coming from MIUI 1.2.9 and ended up with a bootloop, I think I forgot to wipe date/cache. No problem I thought, this has happened before, just ODIN stock and start over. But then something went terribly wrong in ODIN and now I'm left with a phone that won't turn on, won't charge and comes up as "unrecognized" on my pc. If I could just get it into download mode I could save it but I haven't been able to. Now it's got me a little more cautious of what I flash and how often I'll be flashing.

Maybe the devs can answer this since they know more about insides of the OS. Are there things you can modify in ICS that were not possible in GB?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
There is a very long and technical thread about the ICS 'super bricking' issue here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1644364

Basically Sammy screwed the pooch with the way ICS kernels make(s) calls to wipe partitions, particularly the EMMC controller.

It's actually a 'hard coded' firmware thing. But since it is firmware, it should be fixable via a firmware flash. It's just we don't really have that code access from Sammy and they seem to be dragging their feet on this.

There are even OTA updates in Europe (France primarily) that are superbricking a load of Galaxy Notes!

sfhub, Entropy512, garwynn and others with way more skills than most are on it. Esoteric68, robertm2011 and a few others took the risk and spent the time to test the workarounds and fixes that were put together. And you'll see from all the activity here that if caution is used you can pretty safely flash away. Since I've had time this week I've actually flashed about 8 different ROMs and restored nandroids too.

Just keep in mind to read the OPs of any ROM and follow their flashing instructions, read the 'how not to brick' stickies etc.

sfhub, chris41g and Agat put together some great 'safe' kernels.

If you're truly worried you can always use sfhub's one-click to get you to a stock FF18 build - kernel, ROM and modem at one shot.

ICS builds are really quite different in the structure to GB. So yes, as a developer, there are a few more things you can do. It's just a matter of figuring out where things are.

Good luck and have fun!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scott_0:
my location services and gps were horrendous with the el29 update, on ICS its soooooo much better, that made it worth the risk to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
I read and read and read and read a little more until I no longer saw it as a risk. It became more of a "why not?" Now that I have experienced ICS I will never go back. I really like the streamlined multitasking. I think that is the prominent feature. :cyclops:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TonyBigs:
The old adage is: Don't fly higher than your willing to fall.

In this situation, practice techniques, development and ROMs on a device you're not afraid of bricking. Consider it a "tool of the trade". The OLED phones are starting to appear in pawn shops for little money.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I have asurion insurance and am trying to find a reason to use it so I didn't waste my money :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cknuth:
By far my favorite feature is the swipe away notifications. The few times I have been back on GB that was the first thing that bothered me. I can never go back. Especially after tasting AOSP. TouchWiz is trash for me. I suggest you try CM9 or AOKP. Both excellent ROMs with great support right now. There are many more reasons why ICS is superior, depending on preference I suppose, but the bottom line is at this point, with safe recoveries being released, your chance of bricking are I'd say slim provided you follow instructions. I have flashed probably 40 Roms over the last few months. Only time I soft bricked was cause I tried to cowboy up and not follow directions...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] criccio:
I'm confused. Whats the risk?

ICS is dead simple to install if you know how to read.

(genuinely curious seeing as i've had ICS (in different forms) on my E4GT since it was possible. Currently on CM9.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjs2011:
Yep I echo everyone's advice. Ask questions!

I got the phone a month ago and remember starting a thread asking a ton of questions and I got all the help I needed.

Flashing roms and the terminology (had never heard of Odin) was completely different from the last phone I had, so I am glad I did my homework before taking the plunge.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
There's no risk...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
It is safe to flash ICS using ODIN and the newer recoveries. FF18 should be safe, I used it a few times, el26 is the recommend kernel/recovery to flash any cwm zip with as far as anything that includes wiping partitions.

Just remember ODIN ODIN ODIN!

Flash ICS based roms at your own risk, stay away from wipe data/factory reset on any ICS rom until it has been confirmed working on new roms. When using other ICS roms and you are not sure, DO NOT FACTORY RESET OR WIPE DATA. USE ODIN TO GET BACK TO A SAFE KERNEL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] noobtoob:
What risk? Read the how to's and no so how to's, and the risk gets eliminated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
ICS isn't where you get in trouble. Its going back to gb or doing a factory reset wipe. Use calks wipe all instead of using wipes in an ICS recovery and you will be golden. Read the how not to brick my phone thread if you are really paranoid.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I am no longer able to format system, either through recovery or using calk's zip lol. I get stuck on the galaxy s2 splash screen whenever I do. I can odin to fix it though. It has been like that since gb for me, no clue why but I deal with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
what risk? If you can read you won't have problems
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Not always true, there was the eg31 issue back in the day, numerous bricks before the emmc issue was discovered, etc. Messing with your phone is always risky, a small risk, but still risky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
I realize that this is not always true, however with our current understanding of the emmc bug and the fact that directions to circumvent it have been posted for most every if not every rom there is currently little to no risk if you read the directions and follow them

As long as you use el26 cwm kernel and follow the instructions you should be good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stirfry20:
All I can say is that so far the 4g reception has been somewhat better since bumpin up to ICS. Rooting was annoying since I had to use my desktop but after i discovered mobile Odin, i never wanted the cookie again lol. Battery life and performance in HD games got better too. Especially with the kobridge tweaks. So really, its like I never have to look at ugly touchwiz ever again while still having the music player.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LanceEpic:
I also love the swipe away notification feature. Also, the way they re-did the settings is a big improvement to me. As far as the risks, if you follow the instructions in the OP, you shouldn't have a problem. I got in a hurry and missed a step with my old E4GT. Ended up with the dreaded blue light of death. Thank goodness for insurance. I'm a lot more careful now
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] odajennys:
I'm a N00b to Android. I loved WebOS but the hardware sucked. The community for the Pre was amazing and rooting it was a joy since nothing worked stock. Now I find myself at ground zero with Android. I would really appreciate some help.

I have a Epic 4g Touch. I rooted it following a video on Youtube and my kernel is Gingerbread EL29 version 2.3.6. Don't really know what to do next.

Would getting ICS help me do the following:

-Control the screen orientation ( I have an app that locks it but it doesn't work fully)

-Control the brightness so I can lower it even more than the standard (again I have an app but it sucks)

-Shut off the ANNOYING camera sound.

-Assign a camera shutter feature to a volume button.

-Tether for free.

-Improve battery life.

I was able to do all that on my broken Pre and yet haven't figured out how to do so on this device. Thanks for helping a noob. Karma love for you all!
