If you plan on using Sense and the double tap to wake the phone you really don't even need to access the power button most of the time. If you cut out the power button cover it'd be hard to reach, if not impossible with your finger. But as you said, maybe you can cut out half or less of it and that's all it needs. Good luck! And post pictures if you do come up with a solution.
[One (M8) Accessories] Win_Wizard:
yeah i plan on posting pictures and an explanation of what i did. it may be as simple as drilling through the button with a small bit
[One (M8) Accessories] Martji:
Thanks for the small review :)

How are the buttons, how hard do you need to press them and are they still clicky? And I have just read something on Amazon about the camera not lining up perfectly. Do you have that too?
[One (M8) Accessories] pdubcramp:
Buttons are great, good feedback. I actually accidentally click the volume often without a case on. The case reduces that.

So for the camera, there is a silver ring around it. I can see more of the silver on the bottom and left of the opening exposed than the top right. But it's not bad and for me personally I wouldn't consider it a bad fit - however it's not "perfect".

Aren't we looking at the front screen most of the time anyway? :p
[One (M8) Accessories] Martji:
Thanks for the quick reply. I have just ordered the Gunmetal color, the reviewer on Amazon also mentioned that it wasn't a big problem, but I was just curious:p
[One (M8) Accessories] raichur0xx0rz:
That's what I was planning on doing. May drill two small holes in the case there and see if that is sufficient...
[One (M8) Accessories] pdubcramp:
Looks like the IR blaster part covers the entire top of the phone now, unlike the M7 that had it just in the power button. Wonder if the location of the actual hardware is different too.
[One (M8) Accessories] Martji:
I think the IR blaster is only in the button, since it works fine with cases with only a power button cutout.

Can anyone comment on how this case affects the flash, particularly in low light?
[One (M8) Accessories] littlegreenalien:
Doesnt affect flash at all.thats the first thing i tried.
[One (M8) Accessories] Genetic517:
for those of you who own the case, how is the grip? im looking for a case like this to add some grip, due to the phone being a bit slippery in hand.
[One (M8) Accessories] PodCulture:
If anyone mods their case and it works...let us know. I've ordered one, but it will be awhile before it arrives.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Wow that's great news. Definitely worth a good look. Maybe it would be worth modifying to get the IR blaster working somehow.
[One (M8) Accessories] CLTnik:
Received gunmetal two-three days after ordering on ebay. Was surprised, thought it was going to be mid may when i "pre-ordered". This case is exactly what i was looking for. It is so elegant, perfect fit and cutouts, great color for my grey m8. Some may find the plastic back a little slippery but it is ok for me.
[One (M8) Accessories] Win_Wizard:
Have not modified it yet because it is so pretty will do it once my great shield case comes in
[One (M8) Accessories] Win_Wizard:
it has been done. And works quite well.
[One (M8) Accessories] crustyeye:
Ha, did you get a mouse to nibble that hole? Great that it works. Looks a bit rough.
[One (M8) Accessories] Win_Wizard:
Looks a bit rough.

yeah its a but rough because drillbits just stretch the flexible tpu around them so i ended up having to use a knife
[One (M8) Accessories] abisai:
I ordered mine from Amazon on Friday night along with two other cases. The Otterbox Commuter was a bit to big for my liking. This looks like it will do the trick just fine.
[One (M8) Accessories] Vandam500:
Why'd you modify it? The IR sensor? I thought I read that it worked fine through it?
[One (M8) Accessories] Win_Wizard:
No that was for a different case the it blaster does not work through this case
[One (M8) Accessories] Vandam500:
Ah yeah, that was for the clear one. Ok thanks!

[One (M8) Accessories] uhohzombies:
My Slim Armor case (all black) arrived today, earlier than expected. The case itself looks great and feels good, but fingerprints stick out like a sore thumb, no pun intended. Also, my phone feels a *lot* heavier now. All said, I'm happy with it and won't be fretting over finding another case, and I love my phone, but I sure miss how light my iPhone 5s was, even with a case.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
It will be fine.
[One (M8) Accessories] JoeyWhite:
Got my flat black version in the mail today and I absolutely love it. From the rear, the material makes it look like the stealth black M7. Great build. Only complaint is that the black version does pick up fingerprints quite easily.
[One (M8) Accessories] jmp485:
Got my silver Slim Armor yesterday and am impressed with how little bulk it adds and the look, but am very disappointed with the fit. The openings for the two camera lenses are definitely offset and the loss of IR capability sucks. Expected more from Spigen
[One (M8) Accessories] TheEmpyre:
Have had my slim armor a few days:

Good: Doesn't add too much bulk to the phone considering the amount of protection I feel that the case offers. Absolute precision on the ports, fits perfectly around the cameras etc.

Complaint(s): Finger prints definitely showing up pretty well on the back. Also the volume rocker on the side is poorly seated against the actual volume rocker so one side is more depressed than the other and pressing the volume up doesnt trigger the volume up, have to press significantly lower to get it to go. A minor thing, considering I only paid $19 for it, I'm pleased

4/5 Stars :D
[One (M8) Accessories] ToneyEricsson:
I have always used Case Mate Tough

cases on my HTC's and I like how it has a non slip kind of feel. How does the Spigen compare is it slippery??
[One (M8) Accessories] shortstuff_mt:
I have the GLAS.tR NANO SLIM and the Spigen Slim Armor case. The screen protector doesn't interfere with the case as long as it's installed properly. Here's some pictures with both of them installed.
[One (M8) Accessories] Figurato:
awesome thanks!!!
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Are the fingerprints obvious on all colors of this case or just the darker ones?
[One (M8) Accessories] Kevinl86:
I have the gunmetal slim armor (because naturally it matches perfectly with the color of my gunmetal M8 --I mean PERFECT) usually I go with black but this time around I went Gunmetal.

Fingerprints on the back are a non-issue. They just don't show on the gunmetal color of the plastic back. That is a big plus for me. I do really like the case however, I find myself going back to my $3 AmCase because the added bulk/weight of the Spigen case is just a little more than I'd like.

That said, the Spigen is a great and aesthetically pleasing case. It also adds a certain number of protection that is far superior than most other cases I'd like to put on my phone. Black users: sorry, I guess you should have went another color on this phone case.
[One (M8) Accessories] csleverette:
The green isn't too bad. I guess.
[One (M8) Accessories] CLTnik:
No fingerprings on gunmetal. It is a bit slippery but i got used to it

[One (M8) Accessories] an0ther:
I got the Aintree Green one. It looks and fits great! I also got the Zagg Tempered-Glass protector which is amazing. It does not interfere with the case at all.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
I ordered the green one. I'd really prefer a brighter color, but I guess it's the wrong season or some other fashion words.
[One (M8) Accessories] ethan.r.besbris:
Anyone tried modding their case to expose the IR?
[One (M8) Accessories] klarthur:
This is something that REALLY bothers me about this case that I was not aware of when I purchased the case. Spigen did not say anything in the item description about the case not allowing the IR blaster to work, I found out when I received the case and there was a little sticker on the box that said something to the tune of "IR may not function with this case." I was pretty mad about that... but the case itself is very nice, I bought the gunmetal
[One (M8) Accessories] ethan.r.besbris:
Since the entire top of the phone is an IR blaster, I'd imagine even a single hole would do the trick, it doesn't necessarily have to be the power button...
[One (M8) Accessories] Nekromantik:
mine on the way. :)
[One (M8) Accessories] altimax98:
Nope, just the power button. Like the M7. If I get one for myself I will exacto out the center of the power button leaving the small lips for it to grab with
[One (M8) Accessories] ethan.r.besbris:
Cover up the power button and try using the IR blaster. It works. The whole top is IR.
[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Yea I'm wondering if it's worth getting this case and modding it for IR vs. getting an Incipio Dualpro. I really prefer the looks of this case. And I'd get it for free vs. paying for the Incipio.
[One (M8) Accessories] manup456:
I have two Spigen cases the black and gunmetal and I love the case, but just seen the Incipio case and it's better just because of the ir blaster cutout.

[One (M8) Accessories] bentez2003:
I had issues with the silver spigen case and the cut outs and overall fit being off. The official dot view case was far to flimsy and awkward to hold. The case mate tough for me is a complete winner. Perfect fit, IR blaster works, protection is great, no finger print problems.. Spigen my look better to some people of theirs fits right but I think t case mate is much better..
[One (M8) Accessories] Kypt:
I'm currently using this. I chose the metal slate one because I like the shade of blue and honestly it's not a bad case. It's a little bigger than I like (I tend to use the very thin ones) but it looks great. I don't really care about the infrared so it doesn't bug me that it's blocked.
[One (M8) Accessories] RGSPro:
Anyone figure out how to modify the case to get the IR blaster to work? Is there a place to drill in the top of the case that would make it work? Looked like there was some controversy between the button holding the IR signal and all the top of the phone?
[One (M8) Accessories] haenraets:
Look on page 6.

Also the other guy who says the whole top is an IR blaster -> look on page 6.
[One (M8) Accessories] altimax98:
Only the power button is the IR. Check with HTC and look at every single official HTC case for reference.

HTC Double Dip has ONLY the power button exposed and IR works.

As much as I love Spigen they got a little lazy. They went on pre-release rumors/reviews, like the one you posted, in the design of the case. As that Supcase shows, they could have produced a case that both covers the power button but works with the IR.

- I am not trying to be a ****, but I hate it when people spread mis-information and then argue it.

Please stop arguing about it, the IR blaster is in the same location as the M7, in the power button.

I have the gunmetal slim armor. I just took an exacto blade and carefully cut the power button out. Now the IR works perfectly and the power button is nice and recessed and not easy to hit by accident. I highly recommend this mod lol!

[One (M8) Accessories] GoBears:
You can still see the removed piece laying below. It was very easy to cut as long as you use the slender tip of the blade. I'm out of emery cloth but I will grab some tomorrow to perfectly smooth the hole.

I'm gonna have to order this now, lol.

[One (M8) Accessories] jaggrey:
Awesome, thanks! I thought I saw someone say that they saw this issue with this case.
[One (M8) Accessories] cardinalryan:
This 100% inaccurate.

The entire top of the M8 is IR. Fact. I've either got a super power phone or the length of the top is IR. Tried and tested.
[One (M8) Accessories] altimax98:
Then explain how almost every single other case using a cut out power button or a special power button cover still has a working IR...

I can't believe people are still arguing this.

Fact: The HTC One M8 uses a power button IR blaster. The top of the phone is part decoration part antenna pass through
[One (M8) Accessories] cardinalryan:
You are just confused. Yes, the IR sensor is embedded across the entire top of the M8 which ENCOMPASSES the power button.

So to answer your question, if the power button is exposed, a portion of the IR sensor is exposed, therefore it works!

It's really not that difficult to understand. I really don't care and I'm not trying to "one up" you, but, in this case, you are patently incorrect. That doesn't make you stupid or any less of a human being...you are simply mistaken, no shame in that.

[One (M8) Accessories] ssnr:
Yep I agree, where I differ though is I love the feeling of my slim armor. It's just that its too bulky i can't even plug in my AUX in my car because the case blocks the headphone jax so I have to constantly remove it every time i go in the car, now im just like fk it imma try another case lol.

Note: the case is not covering the headphone jax its just making it too bulky to where my aux cable is to wide to fit in..... hard to explain lol.
[One (M8) Accessories] shorty1483:

[One (M8) Accessories] OGhoul:
I just ran across some bootleg Spigen cases (for the iPhone 5/5S) last month and I have to say, they were awful. The TPU was warped so badly and molded so inaccurately that the plastic back wouldn't even fit on it. I've owned bootleg Element Cases from AliExpress and they were great, but I'll only buy legit Spigens or Specks; the bootlegers just can't get it right.
[One (M8) Accessories] james0908:

1. Don't use vRoot

2. Tell us what model you have (C68xx) and firmware version.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] djjiggy786:
C6802

Build number : 14.2.A.1.136
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
First of all, vRoot doesn't support 136. It only supports 532 and earlier, but don't use it either way. You can either downgrade to 532, root it, flash a ROM through recovery and be done with it, or you can update to 681 KitKat and root it by unlocking the bootloader, but only IF you've already backed up your TA partition.

There are several guides and threads on this topic, so please search and try to follow one of them.
