Thanks for the overwhelming response!

Hello all,

Thanks for the huge response! I have a ton of PM's to go through and will be doing so throughout the day. I will make some decisions within the next 24-48 hours.

As far as shipping outside the US, there are a few reasons for this. Mainly the time delay involved getting it shipped/received.

From the responses, it seems some of you have not seen any of the cases I have done. I was thinking most would see my signature, but alas that doesn't show up when viewing from a phone (as far as I know). So below is a link to my facebook page (also in my sig) to give you an idea of what the case is going to be like.

In late March I prototyped the HTC ONE from pictures for this first run and have a company that laser cuts these for me. And I have 5 variations of "backs" and 2 "fronts" that I will have tomorrow. It takes a couple weeks to get parts from my vendor, so I have to be quick with my designs!

Since having my ONE, I have made some adjustments to the design, and will be double checking everything tomorrow with the first set of prototype parts. I will be sending off "version 2" later this week for a small production run in order to have product ready and available as quickly as possible for an upcoming trade show.

What I am looking for in testers, is mainly someone who can and will do some of the following.

Testing signals - Network/Wifi/Bluetooth/GPS/NFC etc.

An example, GPS - Let your significant other drive, while you have your ONE in the case and another similar android phone (no case) set to the same destination. During this trip, take notes of both phones if/when they lose GPS lock, how long it takes to reestablish GPS lock. Any differences between the two devices should be noted.

Also, as a control, run the same route, with both phones without a case taking the same notes to compare. With case/without case.

My main concern it signals. I do not want the case to degrade the ability of the phone in any way!

In my current production case for the HTC EVO 4G LTE (Full Back), the only issue is NFC, which is non-functional because of the aluminum back. For this reason I created an "open back" version to have a fully functional device. I prefer to have just one version for the ONE.

I will of course be running a multitude of tests myself, but am looking to compare my experience with a few other users to ensure a perfect product!

Also, I know some of you will be able to provide ideas/feedback that I might not think of. I do not plan to change much in my physical designs, but might do so according the feedback I receive.

Again, thanks for all of the PM's and I will be getting back to everyone within the next day... in the meantime, check the facebook page to see a few of the EVO LTE cases!

I'd love to be a beta tester! I ordered my One today so I should get it sometime this week. I could definitely write a case review or maybe even do a video review.

I am very interested. I am very picky when it comes to protection and go for what I feel best displays a phone's beauty and also keeps it in original condition. I would be very interested in helping you with this project. I do own a T-Mobile HTC ONE.

Just got the HTC one and would love to test out a case for it.

You can email me with details.

[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
Thanks again!

I am in the process of answering the many PM's that have been sent! I wish I had 100's available to send out, but I just have a few...

Anyways, I will be replying to everyone as soon as I can and I have narrowed it down to a handful of people... so if you have not received a reply, please be patient!

I had some things pop up yesterday that kept me from completing the finishing process, so I am working on that now and hope to have some pics and updates for you guys later today/tonight.

Again, thanks to everyone that has PM'ed and posted here, it really does mean a lot to me! I have had a ton of emails, from a great bunch of people, so again... I cannot stress this enough... THANK YOU!

Now time to get back to the emails and soon back to the parts so I can show them off a little later!

Dont know i f youve gone through selection yet, but im willing to pay to for Shipping to UK if i can beta test, Currently i have 2x HTC One's, and i can do a good review/feedback/comparisson with both handsets, one with case on and one without. . .

Ideal for Reception, Bluetooth, GPS, etc etc... let me know?

Some fronts shots of the proto case

Will upload more, probably tomorrow... in the meantime, what do you guys think of the front so far?
[One (M7) Accessories] superchilpil:
Looks good, is there something between the metal case and the phone? so they dont rub together
[One (M7) Accessories] clninja:
Honest opinion? I think its hideous. totally ruins the lines if the phone and looks amateur with the screws on the corners.
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
In those actual pics, only the back has a temp padding. But there will be padding on both the front and back for the ONE. Here is a case for the EVO LTE, open back design with the padding for reference.

It's kind of a love it or hate it style of case... not really any in between! And I do appreciate the honesty!
[One (M7) Accessories] superchilpil:
Alright that was my only worry, now I'm curious if the price. Especially if I want a custom design on the back?
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
PM Sent.

Their might be some sort of special offer for XDA members on the facebook page in the near future! :D
[One (M7) Accessories] xanmanz31:
i would like to see a shot of the back. will the back carry through the curvature of the phone on the back? i like how the phone fits my palm originally feel like im scared to drop it lol. but if you could maintain the curved form while adding some BEEF to it that would be ideal. (personal preffs)

also i feel like the "fangs" could be a lil longer. the case seems to have such a sinister "Bad Ass" look. especially with anodized and engraving not so much with those whimpy baby fangs lol. looking forward to progress
[One (M7) Accessories] reynoldsrobbie:
When I had my badasscase.co case on my evo 4g lte, I got comments and looks all the time. At work it sits on my toolbox and everyone has to look at it when they walk by. Lol.

It's design has function as well. The way the corners go out and the gap (where the phone is), makes it nice and really secure in your hands while watching videos and texting in landscape mode.

I love mine, but to each their own.
[One (M7) Accessories] tbae2:
I'd be interested in picking one of these up as well pending final design pics!
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
The back will be not be curved. The reason being is protecting the finish and engraving (if added) as the button head screws are what take the abuse/contact when laid down. If the back were curved, when you set the phone down on a desk or whatever, it would be right on the engraving... the button head screws could be compared to legs on a couch if that makes sense...

As far a the "fangs" or "teeth" go, they are probably about as long as they can get, while keeping a clean looking radius. Also, the longer they get, the sharper they will be! Going after the "sharp" look, without the actual sharpness. Also, the ONE is offset, not centered like the LTE (see bottom speaker location compared to the soft keys to see the offset I'm talking about) So by keeping the detail on the smaller side helps to maintain a "centered" look, even though it is not.

Agreed, the corners seem to fit nicely inside my "knuckles" when in portrait, as well as giving your hands a variety of "gripping" positions. As far as looks and comments go, that is def. true... I have had the most random variety of people love the case when I'm out and about.
[One (M7) Accessories] jlczl:
I like the industrial look of the case. The raised corners look like they would feel comfortable while cradling the phone. Wondering how rounded you could go on the edges so the feel would be natural and not "bite" when pressed against the skin (kind of like a ring with a comfort fit). Some beveling or lines like small channels that run vertically could also give it a slimmer look imo. You could also do something with the screws in the corners to give some more attitude like making them a different color than the frame (an anodized deep blue would look cool with a matte silver frame for example). Looks promising.
[One (M7) Accessories] zizo79:
Count me in!
[One (M7) Accessories] xanmanz31:
i didnt notice the offset but i will give it a look. understandable to not make those parts so detailed as to not draw attention to the offset.

i also would be curios to the rounded edge "comfort ring" i have a tungsten band like that feels nice.

random thought do any of you guys have beards? jlczl's comment "when pressed against skin" made me wonder if beard hairs would get caught between case n phone. ive had other cases do this. i had an aluminum box style case that opened with a hinge and it was always shifting depending how i held it. when the two halves flexed it would pinch hairs so when i pulled phone away it would sting sometimes. I wouldnt think the rounded edge would help there but just a thought.

"You could also do something with the screws in the corners to give some more attitude like making them a different color than the frame (an anodized deep blue would look cool with a matte silver frame for example)."

i think he had colored spacers before not sure if thats an option here but a step in the right direction. as far as anodized screws i would think the wouldnt fit threads anymore, when putting them on you would scratch the finish off, and as he mentioned before with those taking the impact when laying flat they would probably peel pretty quick.

Appreciate seeing the creative interests of people with talent.

This isn't my cup of tea though. A little too curvy for me.

[One (M7) Accessories] reynoldsrobbie:
I have a beard and it has never gotten stuck in my case.

As far as the roundness. The aluminum is fairly thin and does not have a sharp edge to it. It feels very comfortable and secure while you are holding it.

That would be pretty cool to have colored spacers to match the screws. With the black anodized finish, the etching on the back is silver (raw aluminum), then silver spacers and screws. I'm thinking that would look nice. Just thinking out loud here Travis. :cool:
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
On the edges, the parts go through a multi-finishing process that slightly "breaks" the edge, or bite as you say. The feel of the case is definitely important! On the screws, I had considered using anodized aluminum screws to have more color options, but the wear of aluminum vs steel would make a huge difference. Originally Stainless steel screws and Black Oxide Alloy Steel screws were what I was going to use (Black screws for a black case, stainless for everything else) But thanks to Robbie, I have learned that the Alloy screws wear somewhat quickly. So for longevity and durability, the screws used will be stainless steel.

If I shave, it only takes a few minutes for the beard to come back! Ok, maybe 3-4 days... but either way, it has been beard tested and beard approved! And my current beard is going a couple months strong, so it has a good amount of length to it!

I have used aluminum spacers with stainless screws and it does look good, but after pursuing different options, I have decided on a type of spacer that can be easily dyed in a variety of colors. If you look closer at the pic I posted earlier of the Red LTE case, you can see that those are Red spacers. There are also a few other reasons for choosing not to use aluminum spacers.

However, the possibilities are endless when it comes to customizing... such as hydro dipping. (This is NOT something that I will be doing anytime soon... but something that I plan to possibly "grow" into for the future) Here is a quick example of that process... Again, this is something I want to do, but will come much later... maybe I'll have this capability when the HTC TWO comes out!

[One (M7) Accessories] reynoldsrobbie:
That hydro dipping is pretty sweet! I saw one where they dipped a wheel of a car. Looks pretty cool. I'm sure the tanks and product are pretty pricey. But hey, why not just jump full in Travis? LOL!

On another note I told Jon what you had planned and is excited to work with you very soon. :highfive:
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
I have been fully submerged for quite awhile now! Actually waiting for the UPS man to deliver a new piece of equipment this very moment... gonna have some "skinning" capabilities soon!!!

[One (M7) Accessories] sketch522:
Man that case takes away all of the beauty and engineering put into the HTC one. It's simply horrible, sorry to say it so bluntly, but the only thing the case does is look tacky and cumbersome. Try for more streamlined and ergonomic to add to the phones design.

Sorry but in my opinion that thing is hideous!! I'm sure it will appeal to some and a lot of hard work went into it but it just bastardizes the OEM look of the phone..My two cents.
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
Lol, Let hope they both show up around the same time!

No need to be sorry, as everyone is entitled to have an opinion! Some people just won't like this case and that is fine, some people prefer commando or a clear gelly skin... which IMO makes the phone look plastic and cheap... either way, it is what it is.... love it or hate it! And you are right a LOT of hard work does go into these cases...

[One (M7) Accessories] reynoldsrobbie:
I love the industrial look! I can see if you're into the design, you wouldn't cover it up in the first place, I get it. I on the other hand, get more compliments on my BadAssCaseCo. case then I ever did without it. I am a diesel mechanic and would never put my phone without a case on my toolbox. I have the silver one, which is even worse. With this case on my phone, it never even touches my box. The screws lift it up high enough that its out of harms way.:victory: I can live with a dinged up and greasy case for a week or two (until I get a replacement) if it gets messed up. It's a little harder and pricey to replace my ONE.

Travis is top notch and puts out a great product! He has my full support! Try throwing your phone through a wall like someone did with the evolte. LOL!

Hello,

I have an issue with Gmail. When I receive an email with a picture in Gmail (4.3.1), I can't download it if I'm using 3G/H+, but with Wifi it's OK.I try to uninstall Gmail update, with the "stock gmail" (4.2.1) I can load picture in 3G/H+, but I lost the new features of 4.3.1.

Do you know if there is a solution? Is it my rom (Wanamlite V6.5 MC3) who cause an issue with the Gmail 4.3.1?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

I am not exactly sure where things started to go wrong. I just recently installed the latest ROM of Task650's Jellybean 4.2.2

I have been trying to update to the latest ROM and I recieve:

[assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "E: Error in /external_sd/ROMs and Gapps /aokp_JB_4.2.2_d2att-ota-eng.task650-4.26.2013.zip

(Status 7)]

I have looked up the issue and updated the Kernel and updated to the latest CWM and still get the same error.

Another thing I have noticed is that I cannot flash any other ROMs like CyanogenMod or anything

I also noticed in my devices folders, that I basically have mulitple of the same folders in multiple directories... I am not sure if this is from flashing too many times... I have never had this many problems with my device before. I like to have everything updated, which I have been able to do before, but now I can't do anything.

Can I get some advice on what to do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
if you have an i747 (d2att), was that a d2att cwm update you applied? it will say in the updater-script (in the recovery zip) what model it's for.

each time you flash a 4.2.2 ROM you're likely adding the multiple folders. a known issue. follow the link in my signature for some more details on this down in post #2 of that thread. essentially, back everything up (either to a micro sd card or your PC) and perform a full wipe before flash (including /system and /data + /media) to avoid this problem. we'll work on that once you've got this first issue fixed.
