Actually the op didn't want to spend the money on an expensive case, if you actually click on the link that was posted, it leads you to a copy of the draco that's a fraction of the cost.

Speaking only for myself I find the badass cases really ugly.

Got my aluminum Love Mei M7 bumper and bestskinsever matte back, as close to naked as Im comfortable running with it.

Ran speedtest on wifi

[One (M7) Accessories] jomaxwel:
I just ordered the same case. I was worried about the buttons. Are they harder to hit with the case on? And is it raised enough to protect the back? Doesn't look as though it is but thought I would ask. How do you like it?
[One (M7) Accessories] reinierkramer:
The power button is a little harder to press and it does not protect the back. But i like the case very much :good:
[One (M7) Accessories] cocori002:
impressions? I bought One for my black htc, but, I'm afraid the scratches...
[One (M7) Accessories] Usersname:
Ill try and post pics tomorrow, as for scratching I can only think of one spot where it may scratch when slipping the top portion into he bumper, but if you hold the other end wide enough it should be fine.

After a days use the bumper does seem to hurt signal reception. If you have strong signal it will drop a bit, but if you have weak signal it may drop to nothing/edge. Need to try it a bit some more, plus not sure if the new ATT update could help this, havent updated yet. wish I had some numbers to point to but maybe not til this week.
[One (M7) Accessories] xxquicksh0txx:
It's only warm because the entire device is acting as a heat-sink. There are no "heat issues", it's just an effect from having an aluminum body. (You decide if itt's a positive or negative effect it's up to you) But from the point from the components inside it's better.
[One (M7) Accessories] Usersname:
Yeah, but I think you meant exacerbates. No, my One didnt heat up all day until a bit ago when I was downloading a lot off the playstore over wifi. I dont see how it could make it worse, little of the actual phone is covered.
[One (M7) Accessories] XGC75:
Coming from the 0.6mm, I just ordered the Draco impersonator. Honestly I don't think I'll love it as it looks big, but it'll protect better than the Bear Motion I'm running now. I will really miss the texture of this case, though...

i bought this bumper

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Ultra-Slim-A..._PDA_Taschen_Schutzhüllen&hash=item20d6a8aaef

it's just perfect for me. the back of the phone is protected as it doesn't touch the ground with this case. in addition I use a wrap wood skin for the back. the only disadvantage is that the volume buttons are hard to reach.

edit: added some pics
[One (M7) Accessories] chaosreign:
Yep. Bought that one too ^^.

Not sure about the difference but the finish was a little rough in some parts, but overall pretty well made. Not much flex either.

Found that it doesnt impede performance too much. An average drop of 1 - 2 mbps overall in a variety of different areas.

The best looking aluminium case i've found is the Incipio DualPro Shine Case for HTC One.

http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-HT-35...id=1377767052&sr=8-6&keywords=dualpro+htc+one

However, i don't see the point in owning such a case, or any aluminium cases for that matter. If you're buying a protective case (unless you're buying a case to enhance the looks of your HTC One, which is kinda pointless IMHO) then it should be able to handle more than a few drops and still be reusable. In the case of aluminium cases, one drop might suffice to dent it permanently, and you'll end up with a visibly damaged aluminium case on your HTC One, which is again, pointless, as it will spoil the looks of the phone. I would much rather use a TPU case, which has a much sleeker profile and will definitely protect the phone from multiple drops and still look new.
[One (M7) Accessories] riotman:
true,but I spent so much money on this phone,that's why I don't want the feel of plastic.with this bumpers the phone keeps it neat look and touch. if I want plastic,I'll go for an s4

the protection towards drops is definitely given with this bumpers. and according to my experience the look survives more than one drop

[One (M7) Accessories] OsarcotL:
wow man it's great. only one thing, the phone becames too big?
[One (M7) Accessories] XGC75:
Got my Draco impersonator bumper today. A few impressions:

1) Better quality aluminum than the 0.6mm case. Thicker, too, so naturally more solid.

2) It's very secure on the phone. During installation the foam inner liner actually needs to be pressed against the body to install the second screw. Good design in that regard. There's also a little play in the screw bore so the halves can be aligned perfectly.

3) It does make the phone feel bigger. It's significant, but it wears the weight well since its sharp creases and many grooves are easy to press the skin into and keep the phone secure. Out of the 3 cases I've used, this easily rates lowest in dropability. In a close second is the Bear Motion case, then stock, then the 0.6mm bumper. That thing was downright slippery.

4) On the downside, this case is least ergonomic to hold also because of the sharp edges. I didn't like to hold the Evo 3D because of the sharp lip next to the screen, and this is bringing back nightmares of using that phone for extend periods.

5) The chamfered edges and sharp creases make it pretty easy to pick up off the table, unlike the 0.6mm case. That thing was a nightmare: you'd have to grasp the phone really hard to pick it up, as if it were a coin or something. This is due 95% to the fact that its edges are perpendicular to the face. Its profile is a box.

6) It does not protect the back of the phone. Small price to pay to get the phone to feel smaller, IMO. Just rest the phone on its face, which this does protect.

7) Volume buttons are easy to press, thanks to the tight fit and great, thin machining. They're almost easier than without this bumper, negate the cutout aligns the pad of your finger directly over the edge of the rocker. Unfortunately the power button is harder to press due mostly to the phone's own chamfer. It requires the right entry angle, a twist and a firm pressure to get right. It really isn't too bad, but I'll be making a point to use s2w and s2s from now on. The 3.5mm phono jack will be hard for many headphones to reach, especially over-the-ear 'phones that don't make an attempt to sport low-profile jacks.

8) I did not observe any signal attenuation for WiFi, LTE or 3G. I doubt that much of this bumper is coming in contact with the phone aside from the liberal interior padding.

9) That padding makes this case feel even more solid than the Bear Motion case, if that's possible. It doesn't quite feel like an integral part of the phone's structure, but it's not a bad thing. More like how a steering wheel doesn't feel like an integral part of the tires.

10) Its looks are pretty striking. The brushed finish on the side catches the eye like the edges of the phone itself, if they weren't covered. The black anodizing is just as deep as the finish of the bezel. Its curves aren't subtle - it looks like they had the idea that there would be a continuous curve around the whole phone but with all the ports and buttons that continuity isn't obvious. In the hand, it works fine.

Me too, I've had this case for a while now and love it. Fits great, looks great and doesn't affect the signal noticeably, all good and a million times better than those cheap 0.6mm bumpers. I had one and threw it away.

[One (M7) Accessories] flaco_negro:
I bought same bumper and I like the look and feel of it but that's it. The case it too big, the phone moves too much inside of it and because of that it scratched the back of my phone at the top, sides and bottom. Did notice a very minor difference in signal too. If it had a little padding of some kind I would recommend it. I really like the case just not gonna risk ruining this good looking phone.

I think that was mentioned in the page, when i read the translated version. Now if I could only figure out how to order and find out how much shipping is...

Edit: Whoops, I was thinking of the other bumper about 10 pages back. I might pull the trigger on this one though
[One (M7) Accessories] irockash:
So I caved and ordered the DevilCase.

Is anyone using a skin, either clear or with a design on their One with a DevilCase? I unfortunately have some scratches I wouldn't mind covering up :)

I couldn't find any reviews on the protective skins that DevilCase offers.
[One (M7) Accessories] pacion:
I love their back cover!

Hi there,

I bought the back cover few weeks ago and loved it. Its a good leather cover and I like the good looking of back cover with bumper. You can try one, I can't give you any promise about how you will love it because it really depends on individual. One thing I can say is that it works with bumper.
[One (M7) Accessories] irockash:
Thanks, I went ahead and ordered a black leather one. I remember the original BlackBerry Bold had that leather back that made it feel real nice.
[One (M7) Accessories] jnovello:
I also ordered from DX Box .65 case. It took about 3 weeks to get here and it just doesn't hold the phone tight enough. The screws won't tighten enough and I'm afraid they will strip and I will never get it out. Also the volume up rocker does not work in the case. I wrote to them and told them its really useless and had no response. Too bad since it was a good price...
[One (M7) Accessories] irockash:
I got my DevilCase bumper today, and it's pretty nice. The bumper doesn't move at all, and I haven't noticed any drop in signal (45Mbps in my AT&T store). I'm still not sure if it is worth the $50, but I'm not disappointed in the quality yet. We'll see how it holds up.
[One (M7) Accessories] Belkiolle:
Is it just a vinyl sticker or is it actually an insert for the bumper? I was considering ordering the carbon fiber one.
[One (M7) Accessories] pacion:
It is replaceable back cover

It is not a sticker, instead, you can replace it anytime you want.;)
[One (M7) Accessories] ocj:
Is the inside of this bumper lined with anything? Have you taken it off? Just worried that it might scratch some of the edges.
[One (M7) Accessories] irockash:
To clarify, it is adhesive, and you have a center, a top and a bottom cutout But you can most definitely take it off and put it back on, as I had to do this several times to line it up correctly. I'm not sure how many times you can replace it, but I didn't have a problem. The leather part feels pretty nice, my only complaint is that it is noticeably thick.. but this is because I don't have the bottom and top on, so I can see the difference more easily.
[One (M7) Accessories] iDark|:
There is a very thin lining of foam. The inside edges are chamfered, so there's little risk of scratching.

It looks nice, but feels odd in the hand if you're used to using the phone without a case or one of those ultra-thin TPU cases.
[One (M7) Accessories] pacion:
Yes, you are correct!! Sorry for my bad description.
[One (M7) Accessories] purple_zergling:
Is this one any different from the one mentioned earlier in this thread from an eBay storefront?
[One (M7) Accessories] aljr1021:
nope! That should be the same one. If I'm correct, all these thin aluminum bumpers are all copies from a main Company named "Love Mei" in Taiwan. Though, they man ship with the same packaging, it does not sport the Logo "Love Mei" on the side as in their main site. Originally these case cost $41 from the OG company.

Just search "Love Mei case" in google.

Either way, I ordered mine a few days ago, so just playing the waiting game now! but not for $41!
[One (M7) Accessories] purple_zergling:
I want something that's quality and has a sleek feel. I wouldn't mind paying up to 40, so those Devil or Draco bumper ones look good. I'm just curious if there are any good options which also play nice with the mime tempered glass.
[One (M7) Accessories] mardyn:
and you don't have any signal issues with it?
[One (M7) Accessories] Usersname:
So my brother borrowed my phone and it fell out of his pocket as he was getting out of the car.

Thankfully it had this bumper!

No damage on the actual phone, thought maybe the bumper wouldve scratched the sides or something.

Btw, one of the main reason for picking this bumper over the others was the way it could provide some protection but keeping the profile of the phone. The one with the sliding face and the devilcase just seem bulky. When I told my bro at least it was the bumper and not the phone he said he didnt realize the bumper was even on it

Also, I have a bestskinsever full body skin on it. Fantastic skin, especially the screen protector. Looks a bit orangepeel in that pic, but the feel and look when the screen is on are both great.
[One (M7) Accessories] Belkiolle:
I did order the carbon fiber one and it's nice but I'm having issues with the corners on both top and bottom peeling off. I wiped my phone off with alcohol to clean it before application. I'm not particularly happy with it but until I find a better skin to protect the back from scratches it'll do.
[One (M7) Accessories] cnsviet:
The only gripe I have about this case is that the 3.5mm headphone jack isn't wide enough. When walking with my headphones on, it gets loose pretty often and I couldn't deal with it anymore... otherwise everything is fantastic.
[One (M7) Accessories] pewpewbangbang:
How's the reception and signal?
[One (M7) Accessories] irockash:
I only put the center piece on mine, because I liked the contrast, but yesterday, someone asked if I had an iPhone, so I'll be putting the other pieces on as well. I haven't had an issue with the center peeling off though; it looks like it's locked in in by the DevilCase.
[One (M7) Accessories] Belkiolle:
The center piece has been fine. It's just the ends on the top and bottom that are peeling.

Sorry I just saw this. it took a slight hit, my month is almost up so Im going to run a bunch of speedtests with and without the case to see how it compares.

[One (M7) Accessories] alekurkudi:
Yes I own one and it cuts into reception quite a bit
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
Is there any padding in the bottom left corner of the case? Something that gives a buffer between the metal of the phone and the case...If not, have you tried to put something in (Bottom left corner) to create a slight buffer? That could help a little with your reception loss.
[One (M7) Accessories] alekurkudi:
No, I actually haven't even given that any thought but sounds like a good idea. Any recommendations on what to use? By the I appreciate the suggestion.
[One (M7) Accessories] tnEVo:
Some sort of foam would probably be best... if you have some packaging from something computer related that had a thin foam in it, that would work. But anything that will fit of course, and break the "connection" of the aluminum to aluminum you have going on with the case. I don't know if it will help for sure, but from my testing of the One, that bottom left corner needs to be able to "breath" so to speak.

[One (M7) Accessories] dsf767:
Wow that bumper would be awesome, what would make it perfect if they included a crystal clear piece of polycarbonate for the back of the phone to protect the back. They already gave it a big lip on the back so if they could make a piece that size and just have it flush with the case that would be the perfect case for me.

I was initially intrigued by the devil case, the trouble is it is not very well designed around the top and bottom of the phone. as seen here:

as seen in the second to last picture, the case is not well fitted to the shape of the phone, thus i suspect it will not provide too much protection.
[One (M7) Accessories] Creamsy:

I want this case bad! This is what I have been looking for.
[One (M7) Accessories] TrueYears:
Its a bumper, it wont protect the back
[One (M7) Accessories] veener79:
I know I love the feel of the phone. Any time I dropped my old phone the ends are what took the hit.
[One (M7) Accessories] clninja:
Some of us only want something that will keep the phone off the surface of a table and have minimal drop protection while still giving the quality aluminum feel of the back of the phone.
[One (M7) Accessories] TrueYears:
with added weight, its likely you will drop this phone more than us with a tpu case that would absord the impact but to each its own
[One (M7) Accessories] clninja:
I don't like holding rubber in my hands..metal feels Better
[One (M7) Accessories] TrueYears:
yes, and when you drop your phone, the metal will NOT protect your phone. Think about this, what happens when you hit a marble with another marble, what happens to the force?
[One (M7) Accessories] clninja:
Like I said.. some of us are not looking for drop protection.

All I want is something that will make it so I can set my phone down either screen down or screen up and not worry about the surface scratching my phone. Buy I still want that premium metal feel.

This bumper provides exactly that.

Mod Edit: Removed unappropriate language
[One (M7) Accessories] pepporony:
I think the Devilcase claim that they have built-in "internal protection" so..I'm guessing that they have some kind of rubber like at every corners to help absorb some force.

Mod Edit: Cleaned a bit.
