I just got this awesome case and I wanted to write a review:
-Great coverage on all ports
-very comfortable in the hand
-adds some bulk to the phone, but the good kind of bulk
-great that they offer different colors
This case is so much better than the otterbox in my opinion. Very sleek case and protects all ports and every edge of the phone.
Here are some pics:

It seems to be very good on not attracting lint or dust...it does a little but it wipes off.
Great feeling case, best I have ever had on a phone imho.
If you have any questions let me know.
I would highly recommend this case. Great protection and awesome design. Nice to have colors to choose from.
If you're thinking of buying an otterbox think again.
What's the prize? Maybe link to place of purchase?

I highly reccomend this case too. After having the Otterbox for a month, I hated it. The Trident case is built so much better that I won't ever buy an Otterbox product again, they let me down on the Evo 4g too.

How's the button action compared to the Otterbox Defender? Nice & crisp (like the Defender), or imprecise & mushy (like the S
Does it have a built-in screen protector, how badly does it interfere, and can it be removed? The screen protector is the #1 thing I hate about my Defender (it screws up Graffiti accuracy).
How long does it take to get the case off to change batteries?
Looks pretty cool. Can't decide between blue or green. XD

It says on the website that it does not have a screen protector.
Please do me a favor and check your PM, it's really not fair to see my profile image that I created flaunted around the forums, as if it were yours.
EDIT: I never gave you permission, so I suggest that you remove it. Every post that I see with you using my image, I will let users know that you are not the owner, even the OP knows that this is mine.

Sick case josh! I miss my photon I really wish that gsm unlock was real
To the dude stealing deeds image, don't make me put my foot in your ass lol
It's okay, bro. KTT gave me some good advice, and I accepted it... by the way, I'm going with "the deedster" as a nickname lol.
Wow. Weird how an avatar shows up on ALL posts. Would be nice if you gave me time to respond ever.
Anyways since you de-railed this topic so horridly. Which color do I do? I was thinking blue to match the soon to be perfected CM9.
lol, yeah i think the blue is pretty nice, just ordered mine, ill post what i think about it when i get it. I have the otterbox commuter case and its alright but around the edges the case tends to go in to the hard plastic part of the case if its pushed in my pocket and where the charging port cover is located, the lip around the screen directly above that (soft rubber part) is extremely thin and thats what usually gets slightly deformed....so by the looks of this case they did some re-engineering so we will see..
At first, i want to buy this case, but its not include belt clip holder. I need it. So i buy defender. But a few day after it came, i'm not using it, it big, and really big case.
one more case that 1 want is seidio convert, but none of ebay seller ship to my country.
So I bought this case in blue, I like it so far. It reminds of a otterbox for iPhone. The only concern I have for it, is that it doesnt grip the screen with the plastic. It grips with the rubber.
What would you prefer. The otterbox or this case? Thanks
I have a trident, brand new, black and an Otterbox Commuter for sale. PM me if you're interested.
Having used both my unbiased preference was for otterbox. Not sure why other than it just felt better in my hand.
My biased opinion is otterbox sells a $5 product for $50 and should make an effort to support the people that support them. I personally know a dev who was talking with them about maybe giving a couple free cases he could give to his rom users. A couple weeks of feet dragging and gaps of 72 hours sometimes with no word, made them seem unappreciative of their success and terrible marketers. A dev, with thousands (most traffic for that rom was 1,500 downloads per week) of downloads for every release, that publicly endorses your product and wants to share that with 2 or 3 of his users ..... seems like a great $10 investment to me.
Lol .... yeah im a little bitter. I won't buy their cases anymore solely based on the experience, not the outcome. The only reason I have the photon case is a friend had it, hated the bulk, and was insistent upon giving it to me for some work I did on his phone.
@KSmithInNY, I have OtterBox Defender and love it. But I question your review. Does your Developer friend have a ligit business? So he had 1500 downloads in a week, plenty of apps on the market top that.
My co-worker plays with his iDouchPad 24 X 7, Should apple send him something free?
My point is (and dont hate me, Im not negative), you love the Defender, but you hate them because they did not give your friend free s**t makes no sense.
This site and the developers here depend on you and I to thank them for their efforts, usually done on their free time. You can ask any developer here, I have had NO problem supporting them for their help. As for this site, look at my avatar, the star's speak for themself.

First sorry for the wall of text but I felt the need to clarify some things it seemed were misinterpreted in your post.
Lol no offense taken. Just two adults talking on a forum and I'm mature enough to respect everyones opinion. This isn't my first time of a forum. While my XDA post count might not be inflated, it can be attributed with mine having been a senior moderator and developer over on Androidcentral for a looooong time and having several thousand posts there ::shrugs::. 'll be happy to add some clarifying details regarding OB but I do want to point out you did overlook a very important sentence which might have influenced your response " I won't buy their cases anymore solely based on the experience, not the outcome.". Meaning I couldn't care less about the cases, i received some cases donated from someone else. My issue with them is the way they conducted themselves ESPECIALLY considering when they engaged me in conversation, not the other way around.
I'm not trying to turn this into a unit measuring contest, and let me preface with I'm not attacking you but expressing an opinion that will be backed by facts, but post counts and avatars or stars don't mean anything to me. I've met people with 4,000 posts that cant root without 1 click and people with 1 post who are contributors to the linux kernel source.
To provide a little background on me, I was a lead developer on the AC rom project (my first publicly released android work), first guy to root the optimus S, developer of ThundeROM, created the Thunder tweak process, developed for the LEGO ROM modular rom series, created the reborn rom base before passing it to another dev teammate of mine, and have been a contributing developer on more projects than i care to find links for. All that was for fun but the thing I'm most proud of is creating an environment where developers and users and newbs are created equally. No user is better than another. That's very important to me.
I feel my knowledge and contributions to the community must carry some value but I have made many financial donations and still do to this day. Money aside, i respect people who support users by donating knowledge and support, freeing developers to spend their time developing, more than i appreciated any financial donation. I did it all for fun. Theres no money in development so the more time i spent butt deep in smali the happier i was.
Still interested in hearing about otterbox? Alright so as you can see I've been involved in multiple public projects and an employee of otterbox was using my work, and saw me mentioning how nice their product is, they emailed me just as a compliment. A few emails back and fourth and the idea comes up they they donate 3 cases, i would pay for the shipping out of donations so there was no cost for them associated, only assets, and they would ship to the people when i send the address. They mentioned giving me a free case, despite knowing i already owned one, and i made it clear if they were to donate another case then im shipping another case to a user, i dont want their product, the idea was to thank my users for trusting me. Finally the person says they are going to approach marketing/pr .... few days no response so i send a feeler email, few days a quick response that they are still looking, few days later i send a feeler, on and on and on until nothing no response.
Let me be as crystal clear as possible, they approached me, i was not personally gaining anything and in fact i was spending donations, all i wanted was to be kept in the loop. If it's no say no. It's called respect and i feel we all deserve it.
I was so disappointed because i really wanted to give people stuff that sought a deal elsewhere and received 3 free cases and gave them away to random users. I never accepted a single donation until probably the last 6 months before stepping into the background. When i did accept donations not a dime went to my bank. I donated to cell phones for soliders, various personal charities, and used the money to buy more accessories to give to the users. Matter of fact heres something i pumped out just to give these guys a rom and look at the donation link ..... it's to a charity While I'm not offended at your implication that i was seeking something for free, or seeking personal gains, i will absolutely make it clear that you couldn't possibly be further from the truth.
I hope that clarifies and look forward to chatting more in the future. Peace and love now lets hug it out lol

I'll go with whoever makes the best phone. However, I will take into account their track record, too. For example, many people hail that the SGSII is the best phone ever and it'll suck your **** if you ask it. But looking at how horribly they support phones and how late their updates have been in the past, I'll avoid it like the plague.
Just an example.

Nope, I'm not my phone. I like to flex the 30-day exchange policy if I'm an early-adopter. Otherwise I research thoroughly before putting down my money for my HTC. I also make use of my insurance.
I'm a great buyer & I flex that fact.
I like HTC phones over any other handset maker. HTC wins me over & somehow HTC disappoints me in little ways usually with every phone. XDA makes up for it in strides.
XDA is the driving factor in my purchase of the phone & I swear by the work that is done here. I upgrade my phone on the strength of the development (both HTC & XDA) for the phone & it's flagship status, the latter just for the sake of continued & speedy support.
If I had ever owned the Touch Pro or Touch Pro 2, I think I wouldn't be so pro-HTC today.

Agreed, but there are a lot of people who take it personally, especially when someone craps on their brand. I think it's amusing that people take such offense over that.

Well people on this board don't own a brand in the first place, so someone saying ish about a brand they bought and getting upset over it is pretty childish and immature. But regardless noone is making money from buying or promoting a certain brand, so its all irrevelent what anyone has to say about it. If you like a phone that noone else likes, who cares. At the end of the day only one person is using the phone, and if it suits your needs, the opinions of others have about as much value as a bowl of poop.

Brand in general, whether it be HTC, Evo 3D, Android, Iphone, Sprint, Verizon, Google, etc.
While it's true that it's childish and immature, it can be seen all over the place. Take iPhone/Apple fanbois and ANY other device/brand, and you can see the flamewars everywhere. We even get them here. I also agree with you that nobody else's opinion really matters when it comes to what an individual prefers, but yet again, you can see it all over the boards: "what do you think of this?", "need your opinion on this", "which device should I choose?", etc. It's clear that a lot of people do put some value into what others say about certain things, which makes it relevant even though they dont make money off of it.

It's called "confirmation bias"....from the wiki:
Confirmation bias (also called confirmatory bias or myside bias) is a tendency for people to favor information that confirms their preconceptions or hypotheses regardless of whether the information is true.
...and if you happen to go against what they desire to hear these people will flip out.
What I flip out about is people failing to be as objective as possible when dealing with information....especially something like a piece of technology. We're not talking favorite songs or favorite teams here--there is zero quantitative reason to prefer one over the other...It's personal and usually emotional...and that's fine......but when there is something with a measurable or noticeable difference and people will deny it because of some inane brand loyalty or some other such idiocy I rage.... You love that band or that team for purely emotional reasons....that's fine. But when you buy a device with obtaining the best performance or measurable quality in mind....and you don't get exactly what was advertise/you thought you would get and you fail to notice this because you love a brand name or you just want confirmation that you made the 'right purchase', even in the face of contrary evidence? That's idiocy. I can't stand that. Sure, I'll live with this phone...it's just a phone and it, for the most part, does everything I need it to do. However, as a matter of measurable and repeatable and/or noticeable fact: The speaker volume is too low and even if you make it loud it sounds like crap, the reception sucks for 2g/3g...some say 4G, but that's tough to tell cuz all sprint 4g signals suck....the UI is nowhere near as smooth as an NS4G....the battery cover thing sucks....there's something way screwy about the power/off power/on power button going on....battery life sucks more than it should (I'm sure this is signal related).
I'm sure there are more, but these are facts...repeatable and measurable and noticeable....yet there are some people who will become enraged at the mere mention....Sorry...I love the phone, but, damn d00d, that **** is real....and that's not even counting all of the faith I lost in HTC over the handling of the bootloader fiasco...which may very well change from the first phone they release unlocked, time will tell....
I thought it was a no brainer to buy another HTC EVO branded phone, the last one was nearly perfect in every way (except stock battery life, but otherwise my E4G experience was flawless). Well, I was wrong. I think it all boils down to that....the most difficult phrase for a person to say (in any language) seems to be "I was wrong"....I'm fine with being wrong, I prefer not to be, but, once you admit it you learn a lesson and become better for it. Defending a wrong/uninformed/misinformed/ignorant decision and/or stance is sheer idiocy.
Same $#!t happens in rom/kernel threads. Someone will post w/o anyone asking..."this rom/kernel lacks..blah blah" "....flashed such & such now i'm happy"
Nobody asked...!?
Then of course the multitude of replies Needlessly defending the rom/kernel.
on another similar point....
Dev's should not get bashed period, Now I just came from a 4g kernel forum and there was a few recent posts asking the dev if he/she planned to add SBC, the dev had been active at that time answering other questions and just ignored the questions -(100% fine imo, as the SBC question had been asked and answered multiple times) ...Yet a few people took it upon themselves to to flame and WARN that the dev might leave XDA if the question keeps getting asked ?!?!!! these self-appointed moderators suffer even deeper symptoms than the article mentions.

I think it is because everyone is scared of its size. I have one and love it. Stopped traveling with my tablet cause I got this. I admit it is big but not so big as to not be able to fit in my pocket. Everyone says "Oh you got that huge Android Phone." and then ask if they can see it. Once it is in their hands they say that it feels good in their hand and then they like it. It seems that the talk on the blogs and reviews about it being too big has keep a lot of people from even looking at it even though my contacts at ATT say it is flying out the stores.

Att and Samsung are advertising pretty hard for it. I think once people realize how portable it really is, they will consider it. I still get a few jeers from my friends, followed by them admitting it is a pretty sweet device.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I wonder what the percentages of the below are, when discussing iPhone users:
1. Aware that AT&T allows them to upgrade at 18 months
2. Aware that having an iPhone no longer makes you "cool"
3. Are of the age where they can buy the phone on their own without parental involvement
4. Are aware of what they are lacking with the iPhone
5. Care that their iOS device is at best outdated
Regarding number 3 - I knew the iPhone lost its caché when I was at the movies and saw an eleven-year-old (!) with one. At that time I'd already jumped to Android but my wife still had her iPhone 3G and wanted an iPhone 4. I gave her a good ribbing about wanting a phone that even kids have nowadays.
I remember her needing a new phone and pay through the nose for the original RAZR., so the idea was not lost on her - I think she'll go android on our next upgrade date - she's already entertaining it.
Her trepidation stems from her unfamiliarity with the Android interface - I assure her that she can make it whatever she wants, and even recently showed her a video of Espier launcher; I think that sealed the deal, so come August she might have a better (but not bigger!) phone than I have.
I think cause its still new and its a bit over priced.
Definitely because it's just a new device. The Streak was the first mainstream "phablet", but due to a lack of advertising and outdated software, it never took off for anybody that wasn't familiar with the dev work for it. I think the trend set by this phone combined with good software, great specs, and heavy advertisement by Samsung will make the Note line of phones very popular in the future.
The Note already is selling well, as the ATT store I bought mine from only had one white and no blue ones left when I bought mine...lucky me I wanted white. And I live in Northern Minnesota, which you could say is less tech savvy than a lot of places in the US. Goes to show Samsung has a potential gold mine on their hands if they push this market. Right now, you could say it's a niche device, but I think it's going to turn into a mainstream class of devices.
Everybody who has asked me about my phone is absolutely stunned by it. First, they laugh at its size and ask what the hell it is. Then I tell them it's the Galaxy Note, and explain some things about it, highlighting the 720p screen and SPen. They are impressed by that, but then ask, how the hell do you fit it in your pocket or carry it?! If I know them, I invite them to put it in their pocket and feel the size. They are wowed by how big they screen is, yet how portable and pocketable it really is. By the time I am a done showing them everything, their opinion is completely changed, and they admit it's an awesome device. The only people who say they wouldn't want it themselves are Apple loyalists, who argue that their integration and iCloud make it so they could never use anything but an iPhone. I tell those people that they're being ignorant, because you can do basically ask if that just as well, if not better with Android and Google apps. Even still, they admit if they weren't an iPhone/MacBook user, they would like the Note. I have not seem a single person who dislikes this phone so far.
Just show off your device every chance you get, and eventually people will realize how amazing devices like this really are, and realize their full potential.

The size of this phone freaks people out at first. I remember after getting this phone and taking it with me to work, every student I had was drawn to it like they didn't know what to think. It was comical to watch them all take turns seeing if it would fit in their pocket.
Despite the initial skepticism that they would like a phone this size, a vast majority of the students after messing with it for a second really liked it.
Same thing happened at the bi-monthly staff meeting. It was even funnier than the students...watching a bunch of adults playing pass the phone down the line game. Several of the teachers have either now went out and got this phone or are going to use it as their next upgrade.
I will say that I kinda enjoy having a phone that's not super common

I have seen two others both in the airports while traveling. Most people who notice my phone have seen the ads in one form or another. They know you can write on it!
EDIT: I send this original message while at my son's karate practice. I was sitting there and this very attractive Asian lady comes up and asks me if that I the Galaxy Note. I later found out she is Korean and loves Samsung and Android. She has a Vibrant on T mobile and say she heard they just hacked the GNote for T mobile...I was blown away at this girls knowledge of phones etc. Of course I let her play with my phone!
I then told her she should get a pink GNote and she googles it and you would have thought I was her hero...it was pretty wild how excited she got about a pink GNote although I do not believe it is out yet.
Pretty cool story regarding a simple ole phone!

I've only seen one other person, I was in line at a hibachi grill and while waiting for food the guy beside me pulled out his note, was using the flip-open battery cover case that AT&T has. We chatted for a minute or so while waiting for food, he came from the Pre and was disappointed how WebOS turned out, and said it took him a few days to get used to the size, he's still learning Android, asked me about a few things like do things "crash" all the time, etc, told him I have yet to see a single crash out of mine.
Cool thing was, when he first pulled it out I didn't say anything because he was getting into his calendar and looking up some events, added an event between them to someone and sent off the invite. He was getting along pretty good, and didn't want to disturb him while he was doing work.
Besides myself, I know of 3 other guys where I work with one plus I've ran into a couple other people with one at restaurants. The guy at the local AT&T told me they sold out the first day, so there should be several of them around here.
I have yet to see one in the wild. But any pol look at mine just like you guys shared. I love the attention from the girls looking at it.

too many sheeple that think that because everyone else has one, they have to have one to "stay cool".
I've always considered myself an INDIVIDUAL. I don't buy things based on what everyone else does. Almost to a fault, I'll go the opposite direction of "trendy" things. Hell, I still (when I can find them) wear the same style Nike White with red "swoosh" leather Cortez shoes (the ones like from back to the future). I've worn them since 1976....why...BECAUSE THEY ARE D*MN COMFORTABLE. Same thing with how I dress, my opinions etc. If you don't like it, tough, it's how I am. I got a Dell streak in Oct 2010 because I thought a 5" screen would be a benefit to me, and I was right, too bad Dell & at&t didn't market it. When I heard Sammy would have one, couldn't wait to get it. And I'm right, it's PERFECT for me. The sheeple can squint at their TINY screens all they want and look cool, at least my eyes don't have to squint.

I'll add androidcentral and anandtech if and when they release it.
After reading some of these reviews I think I just need to wait until Anandtech's. Engadget's review was pitiful.
NICE! Glad to see someone do this!
might just Stick this up there temp for the time being and funnel all others in here if they pop up for a month or so till the review craze is over...
Just have to keep the OP updated is all.
Here is a link to Android Police's Review - > http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...view-sometimes-the-ugly-ones-try-the-hardest/
Gotta love reviews and the fact that they really are just opinions of the person reviewing it. It's an interesting read nonetheless. Couple of things I take out of it;
1. Just like everyone else including most of us, we all liked the look of the One X and he really hates that Sprint and HTC deviated from that. Especially the top plastic cover. Personally spends too much time complaining about the design decisions.
2. He also really likes stock Android and hates Sense. Again shares some of the common complaints such as the recent apps menu being different than stock and the software menu button. Also interestingly complains about bloatware but realistically there is only one app that should be considered bloatware and thats Sprint Zone. Every other app he mentions comes stock on every other HTC phone. And lets face it every carrier uses their own visual voicemail and hotspot apps, the latter being to have control over tethering. Also call me crazy but he complains about Sense not being landscape but I have landscape Sense running a 4.0 rom and I'm pretty sure that was one of the added features to 4.0.
Either way everything is subjective and it makes for an interesting read as long as you objectively respect he is entitled to his opinion and it is in fact that his opinion. For me it flirts close to the line of knitpicking each and everything that goes against what the reviewer prefers and is accustomed to.

Thanks man added the link to the op. Which would spark a very noob question. What does OP stand for?
Most the reviews I seen thought sense was either ok or just terrible. Phil from androidcentral seem to be one of the few that actually liked it over stock android. Me personally I haven't use sense 4 yet but I'm impatiently waiting.
I'll try to keep the OP is up to date as I can which shouldn't be hard considering I'm graduating High School Friday. So I have nothing but time until August.

OP stands for Original Post(er).
Yeah most reviewers dislike Sense compared to Stock however even the most anti Sense reviewers have stated that Sense 4 is a lot better than previous iterations and end up enjoying it even if they aren't crazy about it. I know we all have our personal preferences but facts are the only true Stock phone is a Nexus phone. Every manufacturer puts a skin on their phone. It's just something people will need to accept. So depending on which skin you like the most you should choose your phone accordingly. If you like stock buy a Nexus. It's easy for these reviewers to complain though cause they get these phones handed to them rather than going out and buying them in most cases.

Well All I can say from my memory about that review is that who the F is going to be watching the back cover, Most people don't go around showing their phones from the back. His biggest gripe about the back is moot since the phone will probably be in a case, or mainly viewed from the "FRONT". ROFL what a joke review.

A review that actually doesn't hold the EVO 4G LTE at fault for the shortcomings of the Sprint network.
The HTC Evo 4G LTE is undoubtedly the best-spec'd smartphone currently on offer in the United States. The flagship handset offers all the latest smartphone tech in a neat, well-built package.
There has rarely been an easier smartphone to recommend in the United States. HTC and Sprint have created a package that's incredibly hard to resist, and the purchase of which you are extremely unlikely to regret. We actually feel sorry that HTC didn't choose this design for the internationally available One XL, instead of the AT&T version.

It was a nice detailed review.
That is the biggest knock on the evo in the reviews that it didn't have a 4g network.
You can't fault the HTC for that. Now customs need to stop bullshiting and let it be release.

There's a pretty in depth review on phonescoop too.
http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=10427
I'm bothered by the comments under the sound section. Sure I use the phone for data, but i use it just as much for calls (using the ear piece). Will have to wait for some demo phones at stores before truly committing to the purchase.

Thanks bro added to the op
Most reviewers have said the sound was good enough for calls. Nothing spectacular but good nonetheless
I played with a GN at a sprint store the other day. Thought the volume was very loud and clear on a call to 611. Phonescoop's review of that phone also finds the sound quality lacking. I will definitely have to test the thing out before trading in my old evo. I expect the sound quality to be at least as loud/clear (running cm7 with the audio boosted kernel).

Some of the reviewers that bash Sprint seem to be biased against Sprint. The phone should be evaluated not the network that it arrives on. Yes, a note should be made about network performance, but if the phone is a 10 dock .5-1.0 for that issue instead of going off in tangents about it just list it as a con!
IMHO the nay sayer's for Sprint will be jumping ship to come aboard when NV starts to launch on Sprint by months end.
It's amazing how these professional reviewers try so hard to find fault with android phones, yet fall over themselves praising the iPhone.
This is the phone they should have released globally.
Pocketnow and Techradar review is up.

I find this to be an extremely accurate statement.
When I see a review for a phone all I care about is the phone, not the network the phone is on. I'm aware of the networks of each carrier and I am aware of the pros/cons of each.
For what it's worth I spend a majority of the time on Wi-Fi networks and get great network reliability.
I have in my possession two (2) 64gb HTC Ones, and both of them are plagued with various issues. From poor battery life that is not consistent with what's being reported here, to random reboots, to build issues. For a "gapless" device, there sure are an awful lot of gaps all over both of these things. On both devices, there is quite literally a defect on every single piece that makes up the body of the device. HTC designs the best looking devices hands down, but when I look back at every HTC device I have had, they've all had build quality issues. My Hero, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, One X, and now the One- all had blatant build problems. HTC really needs to get their act together. That said, I still love the One, I think it is hands down the best phone ever made (save for my old trusty Panasonic Duramax), it just has too many issues right now. So, I am returning both of the Ones that I have (that I paid full price for, mind you) with hopes that when the black model becomes readily available, those build issues will have been corrected. Some of you here know (*cough*Gunnyman) that I am kinda anal about my phones (went through 5 or 6 One Xs) and I just can't justify spending $700 on a device that isn't perfect. I have way too much money tied up in these phones ($1400 for cell phones, whaaaat) for me to settle on one that is less than perfect. For what its worth, if my first One had good battery life and didn't freeze and reboot on me I probably would have kept it, build issues notwithstanding. The second one I got doesn't reboot, but has terrible gaps and edges so that's a no go for me. I am absolutely dreading going back to my iPhone 5 but it must be done. For now. I am without a doubt going to be trying this again with the black model.
Anyways, that's my rant. Ta-ta. Flame away.
Garrrr. I was hoping you'd start chiming in on different cases for the one similar to your time with the one x. I'm having a hard time deciding lmao.
See you back soon.

If you SERIOUSLY think you are ever going to get any device without any issue you're very very far-off from reality. Every phone has one defect or another, yes even the iPhone 5 has issues. Pretty serious ones too.
Well, in an effort to solidify my decision I went to best buy and played with the black sprint one..... and I like the silver better. Not to mention that I really, really, REALLY can't stand the iPhone and LOVE the One. So call me fickle, but I have now decided on keeping the replacement that I got haha. I now, I'm pathetic. So the good news is I AM sticking with the one. So yeah, this rant was for nought. I do believe that HTC needs to get their crap together though. I'll probably make another warranty claim in a month or so lol. As far as getting a phone with zero defects is concerned- they are out there. I just need to hunt them down. My last One X (out of the 5 I had) was damn near perfect. I love that thing. If they came out with a One X Super+ with all the internals of the One, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I think that is the best designed android phone to date, even besting the One.
@WTFunk- I'll try to start doing case reviews but my new job has me ridiculously busy so it probably won't be the same like it was on the One X. I still have 20+ cases for that thing that I need to get rid of lol. Right now for the One I have the Diztronic TPU case (it's decent but I don't like it as much as the one they made for the One X), the Incipio Dual Pro (holy hell is it massive! That will NEVER be my main case), the Poetic (it's cool and good quality, but not for me), the Poetic Palette Slim (nice quality but feels like half a case) and I have a Poetic Atmosphere on the way. Rest assured, I'll be ordering a TON more
That's good to hear.
I've gone through 3 one x myself due to defects. Still prefer sense and HTC's physical designs to any other brand on the market.
I'm banking on the htc one in black to be newer batches with less defects than the silver but we shall see.
Someone sounds obsessed with phones and OCD with them. I got the one first day it came out, no imperfections on mine. I think your imagining them.

Can't compare OCD to being gay or mentally challenged for one. You people with ocd can be married and don't get constantly harassed. And second you don't have a slang demeaning word like "retarded" nice try but OCD will never be on the same level as any of those words.. carry on..

This thread is in dire need of a title edit.
I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

I did that as well... I plan to have my wife leave something, too. They sent me a $1 off coupon for my interest.
E-mail sent
and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...
Hi iomthd,
Thank you for your interest in Carved! At this time, we do not make a case for the Nexus 6. It may be an avenue we pursue in the near future! Please keep checking our website and Instagram for updates.

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.
Hi Robert,

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

Hi David,
Thank you for your interest in Carved! At this time, we are in the process of designing cases for the Nexus 6. I do not currently have an estimated time that they will be released.

I sent an email yesterday, and this was the reply I received.
Hi James,
Thank you for your interest in Carved! At this time, we do not make a case for the Nexus 6 but we are in the process of getting our designs ready for the Nexus 6. We will probably release a Nexus 6 case in the next two months. Please keep checking our website and Instagram for updates.
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.
Thanks!
Cayla
I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
