I have never used any kind of case or protector on mine, for all the reasons mentioned here, and after a year it still looks great. There is a small nick in the top bezel and a very shallow dent in the back, but that's it. I'm really quite impressed with how well it's held up.
[One (M7) Accessories] -josh-:
I grew sick of hiding it in a otter box and bought a pouch for transportation as I was sick of looking at a big rubber brick lol. Someone actually asked me if I got a new phone ha ha.

Edit: It also because after upgrading my current account I have phone insurance so I'm not too bothered about accidents, only £30 excess
[One (M7) Accessories] SynisterWolf:
I have a cheap Cruzerlite case for mine and thats it. the back is to smooth for me and im afraid of dropping it. :/

bought this one:

black and it looks good with my Blue one. ^_^
[One (M7) Accessories] darklimits:
i only tend to use a case when the phone is new, after a month or so the case comes off.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
Today, it's almost one month since i tossed case away, and i can't imagine going back, putting case on.
[One (M7) Accessories] EnIXmA:
Using my one for an year now without a case, dropped it only once, and there is a small chip on top which is barely visible
[One (M7) Accessories] Shadow Samurai:
Been using with no case since day one. Still in prestine condition. Dropped it once and it got a little chip on the side but I just sanded it off and u can't even tell it was there. I have a protective grippy film on the back of the phone so its not very slippery aluminum and phone is still smooth, it just can sit on slanted surfaces now without sliding off. :D

[One (M7) Accessories] phxrick:
I don't use any case is the only thing I use a screen protector
[One (M7) Accessories] nj0fr@:
I've been using my One for almost a year without any cases, and it had just a tiny dent on a corner caused by a pretty serious fall(from about 1.5 meters on concrete). I only had a screen protector on it. I'd post pictures, but I got a new one 2 days ago because of purple tint problem, so this one is in perfect condition, and I don't plan to use anything.
[One (M7) Accessories] siffonen:
I like the aluminium finish on this phone, but it was so expensive that it is better to protect it in any costs :) also it feels better in my hans with a incipo case, i like it slightly thicker and heavier.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
As i stated in original post.

My only concern is camera lens cover. Phone feels definitely more durable while in incipio case, but it just feels so much better without it.
[One (M7) Accessories] siffonen:
Incipio would be better if it is shaped as the phone, only making it a little bit thicker.

For me the phone is too thin, i`m afraid dropping it :)
[One (M7) Accessories] Littleschanky04:
My case...

I am using an Incipio DualPro CF Case. It is great, it fits very well, saves the camera and feels good with the "carbon fibre" finish. I dropped it twice since then and nothing happend (approx. 1m, carpet)...
[One (M7) Accessories] Snusdus:
An alternative could be to use a bumper instead. Using one myself and is is great.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
Which one ? Does it raise back of the phone, so the phone doesnt touch the table ?
[One (M7) Accessories] Snusdus:
A cheap one from eBay, and yes, a few millimetres so it doesn't scratch the back when you lay the phone on a table.
[One (M7) Accessories] rijads:
I am using it w/o a case for 5 months now, I bought black silicon case for it, but I removed that condom instantly.

I don't have another camera sadly to take picture how my phone looks, there is minor scratch on upper right corner, I dropped it a couple of times, but other than that it looks just fine.

Also beats audio text on the back is a bit washed off from heavy game usage I suppose.
[One (M7) Accessories] kartik.kayz:
Who cares for camera lens scratches. If the camera lens gets scratched heavily just laminate it with a transparent cold lamination.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
Me ! My only concern ! Can you please explain, what have you just wrote here ? I have never heard of cold lamination
[One (M7) Accessories] thetearer:
Where did you get your skin from? It looks a lot Like the dbrand skins! And at 1.5$, that's dirt cheap!!
[One (M7) Accessories] kartik.kayz:
Its a transparent self adhesive sheet you can find it on ebay. I dont know about the price of it on ebay, but here in India 1sq ft comes for Rs- 15.

---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 AM ----------

I made this skin from carbon fibre decal sheet. I spent some time to precisely cut the edges and the HTC logo too and you know time is priceless. ?

---------- Post added at 03:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ----------

Do you know that the original branded skin costs only 1-2$ for the manufacturer and all of them use the same decal sheets of cheap quality which doesn't leaves adhesive too. But there skins are precisely cut they have perfect dimensions of the phone which I don't have. If you have dimensions of skins/phone you can make them easily. Cutting printer( I don't know the technical word of it ) is easily available in automobile shop.
[One (M7) Accessories] tim636:
I love my HTC One without a case. Bare naked and beautiful. Had it 9 months now, dropped it on all kinds of surfaces from all kinds of heights. It has just a few scratches on the corners; I think they give it character.
[One (M7) Accessories] ROMVS:
This should be in questions

Since this isn't about accessories, then you should have put it in questions. The people who are clicking on this are thinking of a case that looks bare, I'm one of them. You ask a forum mod to move this.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
That's one option, but option two could be to read topic title - "WITHOUT CASE" or the original question where it's clearly stated (no offense).
[One (M7) Accessories] Busted.:
I bought my M7 like 1,5 months ago. And the funny thing is; my dad's M7 looks exactly like my One does. And he has bought his One in March 2013 I think ! He has never used a case, not even a Screen protector, unless he's at work. In this case he uses THIS one to protect it from dirt etc.

His phone has like no scratches at all :o

I use a TPU Silicon Softcase, cause Im really affraid of dropping it and cracking the display. I've actually never really dropped any of my phones so far) But I just feel safer having a case :)

The only thing I noticed on his phone were the small dents on the aluminium edges (front)

The back is completely scratch-free, and soon Im gonna throw away my case as well, cause I enjoy the look and feel of the bare phone without any case that makes it bigger.

One Question though. I could rub off the beats-audio logo on the back of my phone on the third day, meanwhile I can't rub it away on dad's One, even while using fingernails !

How is that possible ? I noticed the logo peeling off on the third day, so I decided to rub it away completely.. But my dad's one looks like a brand new phone.

Different build-quality ? (even though I bought it at the same shop as he did...)
[One (M7) Accessories] whmcal:
Bare, naked and now bugger'd!

Hope this is a lesson for the other xda users who baby their naked phones.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
It's gorgeuos and still amazes me in gold color.

At least, it now got it's 'character'.

I hope, you didnt slap some kind of rubber on your new m8.
[One (M7) Accessories] whmcal:
Lol, yes, the added 'character' argument might get me a better selling price on eBay. I love the gold, but with a silver m7, those same scratches and chips would look so minor

My m8 is rubbered up like a gimp now. Not risking that again!
[One (M7) Accessories] nilanjan.gm:
I always use my phones without any cases or covers. M7 was no exception.

I accidentally dropped it several times, and it got 4 dents and cracks in its body, but no functional problems due to that.

I guess the aluminum body did the protection well. ✌
[One (M7) Accessories] Javneujo:
You are right, covers do take off some beauty of your mobile phone, make it look thick and bulky.

I tried myself to not buy cover but within a week I bought one, couldn't really risk getting it scratched.
[One (M7) Accessories] android06:
ghtssol and

the phone is too sleek and too big to be using a case.
[One (M7) Accessories] ruffryder91290:
I never use a case for my phones, want to show off its beauty. Plus i don't tend to drop mine often, if ever.
[One (M7) Accessories] remusator:
Guys, what about the lenses ? That is my main concern, nobody states how the lens cover stands up again daily usage without case / pouch.
[One (M7) Accessories] ideseth:
The lenses hold up well. I've never had a case on mine. The rear lens has a minor scuff, but it's off to the side and doesn't interfere with picture quality.
[One (M7) Accessories] Satioz:
When bought the phone a little bit than year ago I bought 2 cases with it. I used the cases for like a month. Been rocking it bare for almost a year now. It has some marks around the edges but it's meant to be used! :cool:
[One (M7) Accessories] Ziago:
I have the HTC One now for more than 1 year, and apart from the first month, I've always used with no cover. It 's too good to be covered. But I have the utmost care that never comes in contact with surfaces that may scratch it; even when I'm at home I leave it on the desk with a neoprene cloth underneath it.

Thin 1-OFF lifesaver

I bought a thin or slim fit case, one that is barely even noticeable. I hate cases but the fact is that this phone is almost so sleek and elegant that is just wants to jump out of your hand. I dropped mine a couple times and almost kicked my dog I was so mad.

I made this one with a slim fit case and a soft Velcro strap I got somewhere....

I cant live without it now.

I can take a picture, then text it, while driving down the road and brushing my teeth with the other hand. Its fantastic.

and when Im carrying something i just flip it around no problem. I hook it to my finger and dont have to worry about it falling out of my lap.

cheap (12 bucks maybe), most useful accessory ive ever had.

Just a note,

Cheers!
[One (M7) Accessories] skwieradee:
I loved my ONE naked for 2 months until I dropped it and screen got damaged. Fortunately I have it insured but that was already second claim so no more - one is going back to case. Before I used some ultra thin cases but now it has to be a gel-****ty-cant-be-nice one:/
[One (M7) Accessories] carlito1234:
I've had mine for a year, black one.

-Couple of scratches on the bottom edge, nothing too serious. I use black marker to hide them.

-In that time I used a couple of cases, not for more than a week each. The phone is just too beautiful without them I just hate using them.

-I only have a screen protector.

-I carry it in my pocket alone, never with keys or change.

-Camera lens is without a speck so far.

-Beats logo is faded but I hate it anyway, can't wait to disappear completely.

Can't remember if I ever dropped it, maybe once or twice on a soft surface
[One (M7) Accessories] sweetdreamz338:
What is the purpose of buying a beautiful phone if you have to cover it and rune its beauty. So be brave and keep the beast open air.

I have HTC in Red in start i was afraid that i will lose the color but its about 10 month i am using it with out any cover, and its still gorgeous.
[One (M7) Accessories] JagSem:
I've got the official case as I wanted to watch films and stuff on a Ryanair flight. The case is ok but it doesn't stand up properly and slips over a bit too easy compared to the white HTC One X case I had. I might modify the sleeve a bit so it stands better. I got a free tempered glass cover that started to leave air gaps and come away at the edges. Probably because I didn't apply it correctly and had to peel it off and re-apply. Took it off and haven't bothered to replace it. The glass holds up well in this test which is good enough for me tbh.

[One (M7) Accessories] sanitynl:
One of the best looking phones in my opinion. Barebone is the best!
[One (M7) Accessories] Jigjags:
naked is best

I have the SENA ultraslim leather pouch so when i`m using the phone its naked ...when i`m not its protected best of both worlds
[One (M7) Accessories] Sabreslight:
When I bought my One i put and Otterbox on it because i'm paranoid that i'll destroy it, and it's been in and out of the case whenever my mood dictates...

I've got to give it to HTC for making it like a tank. It's been sailing across a concrete path with no extreme damage aside from nicks and scratches and various drops and it's even been stepped on numerous times. Although now it's starting to show wear and tear on the frame, it's starting to separate around the top but it's still working fine...well except the camera decided to stop focusing....
[One (M7) Accessories] turboedm:
I have a blue HTC One and it looks beautiful without the case

I would have a case on the phone, but every case I've had or seen ruins the beautiful look of the m7
[One (M7) Accessories] fcjan:
I have my Black M7 naked for more then a year now and no problems whatsoever, paint is still perfect, no scratches, glass is still perfect.. and I dropped it like 10 times, on wooden flors, carpets, tiles :silly:

so I don't think case is that important
[One (M7) Accessories] AndrewAmazed:
Case isn't that important but it's nice to have when you're clumsy like me and drop it on cement and etc. I have some dents and they do annoy the hell out of me but hey, I can live... it's not that big of a deal except now I probably can't resell it for as much if I wanted to.
[One (M7) Accessories] Kahun:
I have been using the original HTC flip case which cost me £25 to buy and I'm very disappointed with it as I got some dirt just from my pocket etc. between the case and my phone which caused to take the black paint off my phone. It doesn't look bad its just that I have some silver dots at the back of my phone!

I stopped using the case for about 1 month now, it withstands everyday usage perfectly.
[One (M7) Accessories] Busted.:
I broke my lense while using my phone naked..

I leaned over a table and heard the crack.

I think this wouldn't have happened if I wore a softcase (Silicon/TPU)

Honestly I got to recommend to be careful with the Camera Lens Cap..

I ordered a new one, but the glue was sh**. The Lens was sliding and falling out of position, even though it fitted perfectly. (will post a pic when I get home.)

It's very difficult to replace the lense, even though it seems so easy at the first thought.

As a solution I removed the lense, removed all the glue, and than used transparent silicon. Just two really really smal drops of silicon were enough to mount the Lense. So it doesn't move out of position now.

It's stil a bit higher than it was placed originally. (Compare picture coming soon), but it's definately acceptable. Especially if you use a Case, than you don't even notice the change.

All in all, I think a case would have protected my lense ! Thats why I startes using one.

Now I don't even care If I drop my phone. (I do care, but Im sure the phone wont break or crack).
[One (M7) Accessories] ptg520i:
Black is the best colour for M7!!
[One (M7) Accessories] raundown:
I like my One naked too. But after dropping couple of times the corners are chipped and I bought a Draco aluminium bumper to cover them. Looks and feels great in hand, but it weakens the signal strength. We just can't have everything can we.
[One (M7) Accessories] bentleyboy:
I've never owned a case, skin, sticker, or any protection for any phone I've ever owned, including the One. Some people prefer it, they like the customization, the look, the protection, some people are rough with phones. I've always been reasonably careful and never once had a problem as a result. I've dropped phones, banged them on corners of tables, etc and never had a problem. Maybe I'm lucky, but I get along just fine without a case on my One and I don't baby it either.
[One (M7) Accessories] higheaven:
mine was allways full monty; now with many injuries, and the beatsaudio logo is at 30%
[One (M7) Accessories] pilot03:
I got my m7 from my brother and he had it naked so the back and corners have scratches. I use a simple minimal case to cover most of it up.

Would it benefit from a screen protector?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinta:
Im currently running Echoe Rom V13 4.3 and started getting issues with 'insufficient storage' on app update. The cure seemed to be deleting the duplicate entry for the app in data/app-lib.as the problem got worse I Eventually I re flashed the rom with a clean flash and all was good.

I had a few fc's on an app or 2 and thought no probs, I'll clean the caches in recovery after fixing permissions in ROM manager (as Philz doesnt seem to have a fix permissions option unlike CWM.

After this process I noticed 5 or 6 apps had disappeared from the phone completely. Strange. I'll just restore from Titanium. But trying every reinstall option and the app freezes.

Downloading from the play store brought the insufficient storage error back, but I could reinstall through My Backup.

So all ok now ? except going to update the new apps from Play brings back the insufficient storage message !

If I go into the app-lib folder these apps are showing 1 or 2 duplicates (I.e the file name with a -1 and -2 suffix. Delete these and reupdate and all is good.

However the issue then seems to 'spread' to other apps.

With hindsight this is exactly what happened at the start of the insufficient storage issue and the exact same apps disappeared. I really dont think its the apps in question (eg poweramp and Trustgo security that I have used without issue for years) but im confused as to what is happening and why ?
[HTC One Mini] er1c0s:
Hello,

I updated my Mini to KitKat 4.4.2 and I am experiencing battery drain issue. Android System takes arround 60% of battery and I feel, that my batter last shorter time as before update.

I did factory reset after update.

Is there anything what can I do?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One Mini] PuffDaddy_d:
I had this problem too, but my usage was around 75% and would loose battery % every 5 minutes while the screen was off. Try using Tr1gg3r's stock rom listed in the developer section. There are 3 different versions. One of them will likely work better for you.
[HTC One Mini] er1c0s:
thank you very much for your answer and suggestion. I never put custom rom into any of my android device, but I feel now is the time :)
[HTC One Mini] PuffDaddy_d:
You'll find that the ROMs I suggested are pretty much stock, so it won't a jarring change.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alteclanding:
Hey, I'm new here, I apologise in advance if I'm posting it at the wrong place. I also searched for similar issues, but found nothing quite like the symptoms I experience.

I have two new Xperia V phones. I unlocked both and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on them.

One of them is not doing any problems. The other has the following behaviour: every once in a while, when I leave it untouched for a few hours, it turns itself off. Well, I'm not sure if it's really turned off, but touching or holding the turn on button doesn't do anything. Only after I remove the battery and put it back in place can I turn the phone back on.

I noticed this behaviour happens regardless of whether I leave the phone charged (say, for the night) or it's just lying around for a few hours. I haven't been able to establish any problem pattern (like how much time of inactivity it takes before the problem kicks in).

Could anyone here help with me with my problem or give me pointers on how to further debug it?

Thanks in advance,

alteclanding
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] naufalhadyan:
Did the problem exist when you run stock firmware?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alteclanding:
No, but unfortunately I don't know how relevant it is, as I didn't really use the stock firmware for a long time -- I pretty much installed Cyanogenmod right away (after around 2 days).
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Antiga Prime:
Next time this happens, connect the phone to your computer and see if it's recognized with ADB. If it is, then it's on, which I think is most likely the case, I've seen it happen before; phone goes to sleep and can't wake back up, which doesn't make sense if you installed the exact same ROM on both phones, and are running the same apps, but at least you can check.

If it is on, you can pull a logcat and dmesg with ADB in order to see what's going on, and even reboot the phone without having to take out the battery.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] alteclanding:
I've been waiting for it to happen again, and today it happened. But connecting it to my computer, I wasn't able to recognise any device with adb. Nothing on lsusb, no kernel messages, phone is completely dead until I take out battery and put it back again.

Is there any way to check logs after the phone has rebooted? Any logs before the last 'crush'?
