Cases for the HTC One

Is there anyway we can get this particular thread pinned/stickied near the top? The One forum is much more active, now, since dates have been set. Would be nice to have this particular thread available to people without having to search it. Would also prevent more posts on the same topic being made.
 
I was having a hard time finding a case to put on this phone but i really like this one.. I will get insurance from the start but if i feel like i dont drop it much i may just cancel insurance and grab this case for reassurance just in case i DO drop it

What's the real difference between the Crystal clear or the soft clear? Which would look better?

I see so many hard cases for the one, but do they give anything other than scratch cover ?

Many i see hardly cover the corners properly, some are hard others soft...do that make any difference ?

Will a hard case prevent dents on the one if dropper from..lets say a kitchen table, or out a car door ?
I am really worried about this, as its an expensive phone(have it ordered) and its my first i think with glass screen. I dont want to end with a huge bumper case, but if thats the only solution i might go for one to when on trips in the woods and etc.

Preferrebly i would get a clear type like the Spigen or Imak :cool:
 
I've had very this cases on my iPhones, dropped them regularly and never shattered the glass. Maybe it's the slight shock dampening plus the added stability that the case offers, but that seems to be all I've ever needed.
 
In my opinion you should try to not cover the phone up. I'm going with the clear gel which I tend to think would cushion a fall better than a hard case that only protects from scratches

I think all you get from soft cases is added grip, they're usually made out of some rubber, gels, and stuff. A hard case would protect the phone more although any case is better than the phone dropping on the ground naked. Idk about Imak but Spigen makes good cases. One thing I don't like about clear cases though is that scuffs and such appear on it over time, but that's case rather the actual phone.
 
Mix of soft and hard shell seems to be the best protection, for sure, but they just add so much bulk and weight to a phone.
 
It looks like HTC is offering a free case. Does anyone know which one it is? Their email does not specify. Thanks.
 
Just ordered this case:



I was going to order from Cruzerlite, but that case was just so more beautiful.
 

"The HTC One case Ultra Thin Air Series is a hard case made of polycarbonate material. The durable, lightweight, and non-toxic qualities of polycarbonate make the Ultra Thin a reliable solution for protecting the iPhone 5 from external impacts. The Ultra Thin Air case is carefully designed to precisely form-fit the phone to highlight the original design of the HTC One."

Soft clear looks like it has kind of a white "smoke" shade in it so personally id prefer the crystal clear case because you can still see the sexy beast
 
Is anyone planning on going naked? Never found any phone I liked that wasn't black but this phone is turning heads

I might. I've found the case takes away the sexiness of the phone.

HTC (LetsTalk) added a free "double Dip" Case with my preordered Developer Edition yesterday.

Cases are always the hardest item to purchase, mostly because you can't get what you want in the store which results in ordering a bunch and returning them, postage both ways, waiting for credits to hit. I am always guilty of buying more cases than I need and regretting it so I pre-ordered my Neo Hybrid case and screen protectors, what bugs me is I will have to buy a cheap case on Amazon to hold me over while the Spigen cases ship early May.

I am... part of what I like about this phone. I'm pretty gentle on my phones.. the only wear they usually get is any scratches that might come from going into or out of a pocket.. this phone seems like it would really resist that type of wear. Plus it's too sexy to put clothes on.
