Connect your phone to your pc and check out Sony PC Companion if your C5302 has any updates.

According to PTCRB:

http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=23022

Your latest firmware is [12.1.A.1.192]. However, it could be the case that it is not released yet.

Perhaps the latest firmware released for your phone is [12.1.A.0.266]

Received my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid case ( http://amzn.com/B00IJ0R02Y) in the mail today after ordering it Mar 27th. I have to say that for $3... I'm impressed. The price is up now that they're being mass produced.

It looks, feels, and fits great. The cutouts are perfect, volume and power are easily pressed, and the IR blaster works great through the frosted power button. It fits like a glove. It was actually a little difficult getting the phone in but pays off big by feeling like it belongs on the phone.

I highly recommend this case for the m8.
[One (M8) Accessories] carlitos29:
Have the same case and I love it. Cost me 12 bucks though...you got a great deal!!
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
Thanks for posting pictures! I've been waiting to see some pictures of the actual product on a phone. I might just have to grab one too!
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Is the back a frosted polycarb?
[One (M8) Accessories] Nvrenough:
Just bought this. Thanks for pics
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
Do you think there is any concern with the polycarbonate back scratching the phone? Also, is the flash affected at all when using it for photos?
[One (M8) Accessories] StarfishP:
I would like to say that this case is absolutely terrific! My phone fell a full 3-4 feet from my desk and landed flat on the screen face. I was scared that the screen may have cracked but the lip of the case completely saved it. Definitely a great buy.
[One (M8) Accessories] GhastlyTT:
It is frosted. Feels like polycarbonate but i'm no expert.
[One (M8) Accessories] GhastlyTT:
Every edge on the case is smooth inside and out. I don't think there's any risk of scratching. The photos I've taken with flash don't appear to have been negatively affected.

Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for HTC One 2014 (Frost Clear/Black)

Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case for HTC One 2014 (Frost Clear/Black)

Loving mine. Just got it today. I actually like it more than the hybrid bumper case from supcase.

cant wait for my UAG one. Then ill be all set for all my cases!

Added some of my pics incase anyone wanted to see :D
[One (M8) Accessories] shadowleo85:
Purchased this case in the double black last week just waiting for delivery. So far from the pics I'm glad I didn't buy the clear/black.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I just got it today in double black also. It's a really nice case! The fit is really good and has a nice textured grip on the sides. The TPU and polycarbonate look like one piece, seemless. The power key is very innovative and works very well and it came with 2 extra buttons. I've got both the Spigen Slim Armor and this and it's a tough call which one I like better!
[One (M8) Accessories] wangtang2k:
Gotta love how good this case looks for the price. Just got it in the mail today and put it on my phone with very minimal effort, and I have a Zagg InvisibleShield Glass over the screen.. The IR blaster works without problems and the port holes are accurate. The back is not clear, but frosted (It's fine by me. It looks good and the HTC logo stands out since there's no branding over that area. Very well-made case in my opinion.

Posted a picture for reference.
[One (M8) Accessories] Figurato:
anyone know how the spigen glas.tr nano slim screen protector would do with this case? It seems like the front is really really close to the edges of the screen, so I am not sure if the screen protector would get pinched or peeled up.

Any opinions/suggestions?

Thanks!

Austin
[One (M8) Accessories] littlegreenalien:
is this case slimmer than spigen slim armor case?
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Yes

http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-All-N...qid=1397531467&sr=1-2&keywords=supcase+htc+m8

Just ordered this one and will be in stock on April 20th. so have to wait for pics. :fingers-crossed:
[One (M8) Accessories] wangtang2k:
It looks like a solid case, like the hybrid. Only reason why I chose the Hybrid over this one is the plastic around the screen perimeter looks like could give "glass screen protector" users, like myself, a bit of a headache.
[One (M8) Accessories] renn9420:
True but it was for the same price as the hybrid case and I work in a construction job (glass shop) so need the extra protection. :D
[One (M8) Accessories] Jmack3d:
I'm really debating this case, in the pictures provided from you guys, what color m8 is pictured? Silver or gunmetal? I currently have the supcase hybrid with the totally clear back and black tpu bumper. I really want to show off the phones look which is one of the biggest reasons I got it over the other current phones. I just can't see well enough in the pics if the back shows the metallic tone of the gunmetal m8
[One (M8) Accessories] wangtang2k:
It's a frosted back finish, not a clear one. The brushed aluminum look of the M8's back metal body is barely noticeable (if at all on my Gunmetal) with the Hybrid on, but the HTC logo stands out. The case also came with 2 extra clear Power IR Blaster button inserts.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
After using the case the past few days it's become my favorite case. I also have the Spigen Slim Armor. It's thinner than the Spigen and fits this phone like a glove. The IR blaster works great through the power key. The buttons feel great through the case and the textured TPU gives a nice grip. It doesn't attract dust or pocket lint. The front lip isn't too big or think so it doesn't interfere with touching the edges of the screen. It also doesn't interfere with my Nillkin glass screen protector either. Fantastic case for the price. Very impressed! I ordered the Unicorn Beetle Pro case too and it's coming in the mail.
[One (M8) Accessories] CB620:
I heard this case was poorly built.
[One (M8) Accessories] DHemenway:
Not at all. I bought this case along with the Spigen Slim Armor same as Tikerz above. I used the SUPCASE for several days before the Spigen arrived. Used the Spigen for half an hour then switched back and gave the Spigen to a friend. The SUPCASE just feels much nicer, looks great, and the IR blaster works.
[One (M8) Accessories] djjroc007:
Was about to order the clear Maverick UAG case, but with all the issues reported, and for the price, I think I'm going to give this a shot.

One question I have is, how does this compare to the Otterbox Commuter or Trident Aegis? Had both for my S3, and their protection was great, without adding much bulk.

Got the gold M8, and want clear but very protective case.

EDIT: guess I'll find out soon enough....just ordered it.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I have the Otterbox Commuter case too and it's huge compared to this case.
[One (M8) Accessories] djjroc007:
Case came today. Not bad. Looks really nice on the gold M8, but not very protective IMO. Got the one linked in the OP. I'm so used to the Otter box commuter I hadon my S3. This isn't really anything more than a protective shell that is kind of rubberized around the edges with a very minimal raised lip around the screen. Certainly wouldn't feel safe dropping it. This has no where near the shock resistance that otter box or Trident have. Setting it face down on my desk at work, or a table indoors is ok, but not sure I would want to lay it like that outdoors without also having a screen protector. Feels pretty good in the hand, though tthe rubberized (tpu?) material around the outer edge feels a little cheap. I'd chalk it up to only costing $14, but the more expensive cases come with screen protectors. If I go and buy a separate screen protector for this now, I will have spent the same amount in the end, but for what seems like much less drop protection.

Overall I'd give this a 3 out of 5 if I had to rate it mainly due to the aesthetics. Would be better if it had a little more cushion around the corners, and little but bigger raised bezel around the screen. No port covers are another draw back to this case. These are the type of cases I've seen people drop their phone with something breaks, then tell them you should have spent more on an otter box or Trident type case. If your looking for something that just gives you that piece of mind by having something on your phone, but looks really great without adding any size, then this would be a good option. If your even remotely clumsy, active, or know you may drop your phone occasionally during the time you have it, then you may want to seek out something more durable.

This will work for me for a little while, just have to be careful I guess. Until I drop this thing on accident, won't know how well it really works...Lol

Think I may still order the clear uag case only cause I'd like to find that good protection but still be able to see the aesthetics of this beautiful device. Maybe even the Trident Aegis, as they look nicer than the commuter but with the same protection. We still have two S3's with the Aegis, and it's really nice.
[One (M8) Accessories] kbrn:
Since you have the Otterbox commuter and the Spigen Slim case

How would you compare these two when it comes to thickness??
[One (M8) Accessories] doeboy711:
I will be receiving mine on Tuesday and I will give my review on it.
[One (M8) Accessories] Vandam500:
Was not thinking on getting a case but this one looks awesome. Just ordered it! Thanks OP.
[One (M8) Accessories] StarfishP:
You are wrong on how protective this case is sir. My phone dropped a good 4 foot drop from my hands with this case on. The phone faceplanted the hardwood floor and i was scared that my screen had shattered. When I flipped the phone over there were no signs of scuffs or scratches. The screen was perfectly in tact. I highly recommend this case to anybody.
[One (M8) Accessories] djjroc007:
That's good to know. Don't get me wrong, I do like this case, and actually just recommended it to a couple friends. Just so used to the bulk and safe feeling of my S3 otter box and trident aegis, that this thing just seems so minimal. Only time will tell, along with drop reports like yours. Makes me feel better..lol. After the last couple days, it has grown on me though, and it looks quite awesome on the gold M8! Happy with the purchase. I think the pictures were just a bit misleading, so my first impression may have been a tad skewed.
[One (M8) Accessories] renn9420:
My Supcase is finally shipped from Amazon this morning. Ordered the full armor. Will post pics once I get it and its on.
[One (M8) Accessories] supasizefries:
Another happy user with this case. I've had it for about a week and I really like it. I was deciding between this and the UAG clear case, but this was available first, so I bought it. The only tiny nitpick I can make is the back of the case isn't as "grippy" as I thought it would be, but the bumpers take care of that. All in all, I think this is a fantastic case for the price! Now I'm debating if I should buy another one of these as a backup or buy the UAG clear.
[One (M8) Accessories] NegativeOne13:
Slow Shipping

Did anyone else's full body take forever to get there? I preordered mine on March 26th, and shipped through DHL on April 16th. It took them 6 days to go from GA, to St. Louis, MO. Update today says "Ready for Transport to USPS." So figure probably 2 more days for USPS to deliver. I'm getting kinda anxious, but I don't remember anything ever taking this long. I've ordered stuff from China that has arrived in half the time.
[One (M8) Accessories] doeboy711:
I ordered mine on last Friday night, the 19th of April, and mine is scheduled to arrive today.
[One (M8) Accessories] Xdpker06:
I have this case. Fits perfectly with the Nillkin glass screen protector. No complaints +1
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I just got the PRO case. Just as impressive! I'll take some pics and start a new thread for the PRO case.
[One (M8) Accessories] nipun1110:
About NFC

Just one quick question - does this case hamper with NFC?
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Nope, works fine.
[One (M8) Accessories] th3taman:
Does the back show any scratches like the clear backs do over time? That's the one issue I have with my current case.
[One (M8) Accessories] jlczl:
Not yet for me. Only 3 days in though.
[One (M8) Accessories] doeboy711:
Well I just received my case and I would post pics, but it looks the same as the OP since I have the same color case and phone.

This case fits snuggly around the phone and does not feel loose or too tight. The clear back cover isn't that clear, but you can still see the HTC logo just fine, but it does take away the nice finish on the back of the phone.

I have used the IR blaster a couple of times and it works perfectly. I haven't had a problem charging or using headphones yet either. I have taken a few pictures and it does not hinder your picture taking abilities at all.

The case makes the phone feel more like a phone to me and not some skinny and slippery thing in my hand lol. Before the phone would easily slide out of my pocket when I sat down on my couch, but now it does not.

The side bumpers look like they will be able to handle a drop pretty good from pocket height, but probably not ear height.

Overall I really like the case because it looks like it will do it's job just fine without being to bulky. I would suggest that if you are looking for a small to midsize case that this is definitely a contender!
[One (M8) Accessories] PcFish:
Anyone have the red version? I'd like to see pics on a Gunmetal preferably.

Also, how good is that glue keeping that backing together?

I'm wondering if I could take a heat gun to that and just use this as a bumper with a clear back protector or maybe even a custom vinyl.
[One (M8) Accessories] nipun1110:
Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] sapplegater:
Hey PcFish,

I have the red one with a gunmetal M8, I'll upload some pictures here in a little bit for you. I love the case, it adds a nice bit of color and flair to the phone.
[One (M8) Accessories] supasizefries:
UPDATE: Just thought I'd mention this: I dropped my phone from about waist level (unintentional) onto a tiled floor at work today and the case totally protected my phone. I almost didn't even hear the phone drop since it hit bumper first. I even took the case off to see if the body was dented...no damage to be found.

Also I've read some people observing that the camera cut out isn't totally perfectly centered, which was the case with mine when I first got my case. Over the course of about 1.5 weeks, the cutout is now pretty much perfectly centered. I guess it needed some time to settle and break in?

All in all, this case gets my thumbs up. Great case for a great price.
[One (M8) Accessories] akitten007:
Just got my hybrid case in the mail today. Coming from an S3 with a UAG case, I decided to get the SUPCASE after seeing your reviews here. This case is awesome. The back adds almost no additional thickness, and the outer bumper is very grippy. Buttons are easy to press and give good tactile feedback. And a +1 for being able to use IR blaster.

Edit: After further testing, the flash on the camera seems to bleed through the plastic and into the lens, on both photos and videos. I'll give it a couple days to settle and maybe it will improve

BTW if anyone recommends any good screen protectors (glass or not) I'd love to hear your thoughts. Sorry if this is a bit off topic. Thanks
[One (M8) Accessories] xPhantom:
I'd love to see some pictures of the case in some of the other colors. I have a black one, but was curious how the others looked.

After looking at photos, I'm totally gonna try popping out that plastic back and just using this as a bumper. I'll buy 2 just in case.
[One (M8) Accessories] ChrisNee1988:
Anyone else have a hard time putting the case on or taking it off? My case is extremely snug and i almost have to dig my nails into the case to peel it off but that scratches the edges of the phone.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
It was a bit stiff at first but take it off and flex the TPU a bit to loosen it up but not too much.

Red Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid Case

@PcFish

Here are some pictures of the Red Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid Case!
[One (M8) Accessories] kameleongt:
I ordered this instantly after seeing case. This is a great nice fitting case. Great design and shows off the nice back of the phone. Very glad I went with this choice.
[One (M8) Accessories] Genetic517:
Any chance the clear material would eventually start to yellow?
[One (M8) Accessories] woodydog:
Just got mine today. Looks like a nice case. Bad part is don't have an upgrade till may 7. My m7 will have to do till then
[One (M8) Accessories] lacrossev:
The clear part is a hard polycarb so maybe if you leave it in the sun for a few years it'll yellow like cheap action figure bubble pack but I don't see it happening before the phone itself is replaced.
[One (M8) Accessories] jakirkla:
I dropped my phone yesterday when walking in my parking garage with too much in my hands. Thankfully it was covered in this case and a glass screen protector. It came away unscathed and the case barely took any damage either. I would highly recommend this case to anyone looking for good protection and good looks at a low cost.
[One (M8) Accessories] akitten007:
Just thought I'd inform you guys. If you received the first model of the case with the plastic divider between the flash and camera, you might have noticed that the flash can appear on the sides of photos. If you have this issue, I would suggest contacting the seller you got it from, because supcase recently made a new model that solves this. Look at the pics on amazon and you see there is no longer two separate holes for the flash and main camera. I emailed the seller I bought mine from(Brillotech), and they said they would send a free replacement, without having to return my current one (which is awesome).
[One (M8) Accessories] bosshog187:
I contacted them too last week with the same issue, they also said they would swap. Hopefully they stay true to their word.
[One (M8) Accessories] K0v4L:
Very good case, just received. I had to make a choice between uag and this and I'm happy.
[One (M8) Accessories] Skyymiles:
Just got mine last night and I was a little worried when I saw the packaging but honestly after having it on for a day or so, I'm really impressed. I like the fact that they reversed the power and audio port flaps so they open down and not up. Idk just makes more sense to me vs. say Otterbox. And I like the Photon Q inspired Octagon sawed edges. Maybe not quite as industrial looking in person as say the UAG, but still does the job for me aesthetically speaking. Case fit is nice and snug around the phone and the button rockers feel very solid as well. Funny thing about this case is it actually(when I hold it after not having a case on it the first two weeks) feels strikingly similar to the way, form wise, that it felt without a case in my hand which I have to say is pretty cool. Phone sits alot more flat during one handed operation on a table say and the screen protector does not obstruct the use of the touchscreen at all. Perfect touch performance so far. Dont know if the power button covers fail easily on these(noticed they included like two extra). For $10 you cant beat this case and it blends well with the Gunmetal variant. Cant say it would so much with the other colors due to the fact that it is entirely black. Nice hard plastic makes me feel confident my device is that much safer. Now to see how well this phone breathes in this case as opposed to the like (otterbox, etc.) or if it will bow the edges within a month from the heat trying to escape after performance usage. :)
[One (M8) Accessories] HoOnZ:
Received the case last week, and I like it. The only thing I do not like is that the case has some rough edges. Mind you, it doesn't cut your skin but you can definitely feel the edge. I now wish the cut was smoother, so other than that it's an awesome case.
[One (M8) Accessories] mentallo:
I have three cases for this phone now and this is my favorite. It's feels great in your hand and it looks amazing.

[One (M8) Accessories] ashamir:
Can you explain what you mean "the flash can appear on the sides of photos"? I have the model with the divider but do not see anything improper in my photos
[One (M8) Accessories] akitten007:
Do you by any chnace have the case with the black back? Because with the clear back, every photo with flash would have a large yellow area covering the right side of the photo. And the case was perfectly centered around the camera and flash. I sent mine in for an exchange so unfortunately I can't show you an example.

Contacted them about the issue the other day. They sent out a replacement today! Great customer service from the guys at brillotech

Anyone Selling Theirs????

Sorry if Im completely posting this in the wrong place but... I was wondering if anyone who was unsatisfied with theirs be willing to sell it to me?

I'm loving the look of this case, the only issue I'm having right now though, is the fact I live in New Zealand. No one is willing to ship here, through Amazon or even on Ebay!

If you don't mind parting with it, and the price is reasonable, I'm sure we could work something out! :)

I would prefer the Black TPU Clear one, but then again Beggars Can't be Choosers!!!!!

Warning... the red version of this case is very pinkish looking
[One (M8) Accessories] sapplegater:
Mine isn't pinkish at all mine is a bright red :-/
[One (M8) Accessories] TieNN89:
As in when you take a pic the flash appears to be cut off in the picture is that what you're saying?

Any examples?
[One (M8) Accessories] akitten007:
I mean if you take the picture in portrait mode, it will look like the sun photobombed the right side of your photo. It's just a yellow blob
[One (M8) Accessories] TieNN89:
Because the flash lights up the case?

Did you have a clear case?
[One (M8) Accessories] akitten007:
Essentially yes, the flash goes though the case and somehow refracts into the lenses. Someone on amazon said if you color the edge of the case around the flash black it would block this, but I just decided to return the case (had my eye on the uag).

And yes I did have a clear case. I actually just received the "new" model yesterday and it indeed does fix this issue
