Opinions: What Do You Think of the HTC Amaze Design? - HTC Amaze 4G

So I've been living with the Amaze for a couple of weeks now and the design has certainly grown me. It's a bit of a foray from the more traditional, plastic clad Android handsets out there but it never really shouts "look at me!".
So my question to all of you fellow Amaze users is, "What do you think of the design?"
Personally, I quite like the beveled edge with the screen sitting above the bezel but that's just me. Let me know what you guys think.

You've posted in the right place so no worries and i love the design, i think its one of the best looking ive used to this day. but since HTC has made these designs (sensation, amaze) how the whole back comes off. these phones have much issues. like my sensation for example, the whole digitizer would press down onto my LCD so i sent it back and got this, the issues i have no is what everyone else is suffering from lol

Beautiful design! Second to none!

Honestly I think its the best looking android phone out right now, if not right beside the galaxy nexus

One word... Amazing!! It just feels good, I hold a gs2 and I think its just too wide.
And the amaze is more detailed and well made

Picked up the Amaze yesterday after setting up my Sensation for my wife(she was a victim of a bad G2x). Love this phone design and build quality.

I'm fairly impressed. I really like having all the buttons on one side with charger on the other. Wakeup with camera button is a great feature for a phone with a great camera, plus the video button is handy too.
One oversight is the camera flash being too close to the camera lense. I also dislike using the phone without a case because there is no traction to hold the phone on the edges.

The Amaze replaced my Nexus S. It took some adjustment but I really like it. I feel I need to be a bit more careful with it as I'd hate to drop it and I don't think it would survive very well due to it's heavier weight.
Still waiting for my gel case to arrive.

I picked up a TPU case from Diztronic and I almost feel like the case masks the beauty of the phone. It's a must on this phone but every time I take it off I'm tempted not to put it back on

I should have stated TPU not Gel.
This is the one I ordered:

just a design...nothing special...gets old once some other design comes out. feels solid when hold it in ur hand, thats good thing

Your telling me this design isn't sexy? Lol

I love the amaze design that's the only reason i purchased this phone, i hate the OS on it.

Decent design. Build quality could be better.
Squeeking on the bottom right of mine, power button feels meh.
Otherwise nice phone.

I like the sturdy quality of the phone, but when the backplate creaks it really ticks me off, especially when the snap-on plastic back cover of the Samsung phones don't creak nearly as loud or as much. Overall, it's a good looking phone, I wish it wasn't as heavy and bulky looking though.

How did your back plate start to creek? Or did u get it like that

amazing design, I have it white... it's heaven they should have mad the front white too , still awesome though
I used to and still like apple's designs, and that's all i liked about them...now I'm partial between the iphone 4 and this design, I think I like this one, feels much better in my hand. I wish it was just as thin and light as the sensation though!
hated sgsII too bulky, blasticy, nasty!!!

I have a case on mine. But when she's naked, she's beautiful
This is my first white phone btw, black is so sexy too.

Probably from removing the back cover numerous times to battery pull and/or swap micro SD's, it doesn't creak when in normal usage but when pressure is applied to some points then it's a pretty noticeable sound for me

It is 29.95 but I wish it covered more of the camera. Plus its a hard shell case. Wish it was like the otterbox commuter with a soft silicone/tpu core and a hard poly shell. for that price it should be better.

Love that! This is "kind of" like the snap on case that I have had on my Evo 4G since day one. Can't see the front of it but I call the snap on case a "Bikini" case because it covers "just enough" to keep the phone safe and secure. My Evo looks as good as it did on day one (with the exception of the crack in the bezel near the unsupported power button) and it's not bulky at all.
Thanks for sharing the pic! I'll definitely have one of these on day one.
*I hope the hinge construction holds up..... I think the only thing I will miss is the kickstand but owell.
Off topic but I got an email from Sprint this morning and they changed the front facing camera to a diamond shape. Looks kind cool I guess. Just saying (;

That's a big a$$kick stand! I just hope none of these "HTC" letters fall off so easily like on the EVOs. I've lost track of how many times I've had to go back to Sprint and ask them to give me a new battery cover since my letters fell off.

Me, my girlfriend, and my dad have all gone back to Sprint at least twice to get new battery covers because all three letters fell off. And now I got to go back for a third time for another one before I sell my EVO :/ thank god they give them to us for free

Does anyone know if this is being released on 24th as well? I looked for it in google but couldn't find anything
Never had to replace any letters because my Evo lived in a Case Mate barely there, LOVE THAT CASE. This HTC case looks to be built just like it only with the kickstand so this will be perfect.
AS for if they are going to be available, I was told at the Shack that they would have cases the following week, I'm checking with a family member to see if Sprint stores will actually have them or not on Friday. I hope so....
The best feature about the og evo kickstand is the 'snappyness'. I can snap the thing open and closed in a nervous fidget like clicking a pen...totally annoying all around.
But does the kickstand in this case have a snap spring closing? It looks like it will be more flimsy with a small latch to hold it or something.

Lol i do the same.thing when I'm.using my phone..it drives my wife crazy ..click click ..but it is pretty sturdy and i definitely use it a lot..its a must have for a phone this size..def not a gimmick like some said in the past
It makes perfect sense to have the charging port up when on the kickstand. But some apps will not work this way I think. It'll be upside down. Take netflix app for example. It only plays the other way around. Tried it with my evo 4g.
What is HTC gonna do about this I wonder?

How much abuse can/ has your vibrant taken?

I ask because today I dropped it off my bike riding down a hill then ran it over both tires on the screen and not a single scratch no screen protector. These are tough little phones

Barely any. Not a scratch or ding to be seen thanks to the screen protector and $3 case.
Battery got loose but I put it back in and started up fine took maybe 15 seconds tops. These phones are amazing

I've had mine since the week before the official release. I'd had a Behold II under contract and thankfully fussed at the right T-Mobile corporate people at the right time, and they basically gave me the Vibrant to shut me up.
Anywho, this thing has bounced off of countless things as well as survived a bathtub dump and an accidental washing with the laundry (disassembly required for proper drying out afterwards on both occasions). Has two tiny nicks on the chrome trim and one tiny scuff on one of the backplates.
Still runs like a champ! Best phone I've ever had.
I agree. My dad got this off a friend for 100$ flat and neither him nor I regret it. After all its been through it only has some minor nicks on the crome sides and a small scratch on the backplate. Best phone ive ever had

Hope it can last just one year longer. Then I'll be getting myself an iPhone 5.
My device as stood up against a couple of small drops. There are 1 or 2 dings in the chrome bezel, but, other than that... it's still flawless, and I've had this thing since a day or two after US release. I stopped using the rubber case, since I'm usually pretty careful (except the 2 dings)... and what's the point of buying a super sleek, ultra thin phone, just to bulk it up with giant case. I also don't use screen protectors, and my screen is still flawless. I mean, the Galaxy S series has Gorilla Glass... which is scratch resistant. Besides, screen protectors reduce picture quality, and touch response.

I love my vibrant but the only reason I like it is because of our awesome devs. before I learned how to flash and everything I ****ing hated this thing. the nexus phones are the only ones that work great out of the box and even then I think it needs tweaking before everything is great. I'm going with the iPhone next because I want something easy out of the box that doesn't require much work.
the way I see it is
Rooted, flashed and tweaked android phone >>>>>>>>>>>> iphone
out of the box
iphone >android
only by a little though
I like android more too, but with every device there are tradeoffs. I'm willing to be in apple's walled garden for now haha
I got my Vibrant right around when it launched. Put a Zagg shield on it and that Samsung carbon fiber looking case the same day. Actually replaced the battery on it two months ago and i finally took the case off to clean it. Not a scratch and still looks new. I didnt even pamper the phone. I just think the hardware was solid and im sure a good case helped keep the plastic looking shiny. Hope my new GNex looks as good in another year.
I dropped mine in molten lava, let it sit for a day in a bag of rice, and its good as new.
Vibrant is a freaking defy on crack. I've stepped on it, last Christmas I dropped it slipped from my pocket onto a pile of rocks I was on top of my garage, its tooken a million and one drops. It bounced off my stairs once and my little nephews flung it across the room. Amazing phone. :')

Anyone tried this Trident Case?

Its called the KRAKEN AMS CASE, it looks super rugged, id say that it probably offers more protection then the otterbox defender. Id have no problem tossing my rezound across a room in this thing if it is as solid as it looks. Ive been looking for something that resembles the Sedio convert series case for the rezound. i loved it on my thunderbolt, id drop the thing purposfully onto cement from about 7/8ft just to show how good it was.
http://www.tridentcase.com/case/htc/htc-rezound/htc-rezound-kraken-ams-case.html
if anyone has tried it let me know your thoughts. $50 is a bit steep for me to just go and buy it.
If it comes with the holster that is not that bad.
I just ordered a Seidio Active for mine. I have the Active for my previous phone (Dinc) and have liked its protection. The new one for the Rezound without the holster (which I never use) is $20
yea it has a holster, lol what looks like a holster because its tiny, that might be a good thing now that i think of it, the only thing i didnt like about the convert case on the thunderbolt was the huge holster getting in my way all the time.
That Trident case looks bad ass!

wow it looks great. hows the kickstand? on the web it looks a bit flimsy, but in your pics it looks like its pretty good.
The kickstand is real good, its made of metal and its sturdy. It clicks into the back and stay secure when you arent using it. So far it's one of the best cases I used..I had a incipio before this one and I really like this one more, it does add some bulk though its definitely as big as the otterbox defender cases.

Thats not the same case thats why its cheaper. Its the same brand but it doesn't have the kickstand like the one in the OP.
My friend has that brand for his DX. I think it could take a bullet. Unfortunately when he has it in his pocket he looks like he is happy to see everyone though.
Trident cases are probably the strongest I've ever used on any phone. That being said, any plastic that they color will peel eventually. It's kind of annoying since the case is so amazing. And Con is right, that thing will take a damn bullet. The fact that it has most of the rubber on the outside instead of the plastic could really help the peeling issue.
I wish they made sweet cases for extended battery

I recently got an ageis model for mine, it's a brick, and feels good in the hand, except the hard plastic is slightly slippery. I messed up my screen protector when applying it, and sent trident an email. They asked for my address and are sending me out a new one free of charge. Great case, great company.

It looks like it might be able to fit the extended battery. If you mod it alittle, like cut the back part of the rubber under the plastic part and possibly leave the back door off the phone. But I haven't tried it. It does make the thickness about the same as when the extended is on it, so it might work.
Just tested out the case with the extended battery and it fits fine aslong as you leave the backdoor off. You also would need to cut a hole in the rubber for the battery to poke out. The only thing is that the area near the camera is going to be showing the inside of the phone since the backdoor would be off.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the phone will work without the back cover or at least a portion of the back cover because of the antennas.

Am I the only evo3d owner who thinks EVO LTE to big?

I handled an EVO 4g LTE today and I have to say I would have preferred the 4.3" screen size of the 3d with the internals of the EVO lte of course with hd resolution.
I have one on order on my sprint store and not sure if I will upgrade. Don't get me wrong the screen is awesome looking but I am not sure about the size.
With the galaxy nexus, gs3, and EVO lte as the top high end phones are we going to be forced to a larger screen size if we want the latest technology? Will anyone come out with high end phones with smaller 4.3" screens?

btw. Men get bigger things to make their small **** look better. hahaha. Yeah, the phones are getting "too" big. If I want a tablet, I'll go buy one.
Honestly, I don't mind it as long as it fits in your hands well and slides in the pocket smoothly. Personally, I prefer bigger screens as long as they're not too big.
No sir this TINY EVO 3D is killing me... I hated the fact that it was not as wide as the OG EVO. AND I SLIGHTLY WISH it was a 4'8 or 4'9 inch screen
think of all those stupid iphone users. lol. They think they have rock solid phones. lol. soooooo small. could never go that small. However, I put mine in an Otter Box. The smaller and larger the phones get... means breaking phones. Maybe they'll come out with a phone with OLED that allows us to pull out a screen of our size and is paper thin? of course you know some jackass company like apple will put a patient on that and claim it belongs to them when WE INVENTED IT! NOT THEM! then no one will be able to use the technology!
My first phone was a Evo 4G, so 4.3" is what I started out at. I'm ready for an upgrade in size. Especially after playing with my friends Galaxy Nexus that he just got, I'm SO jealous of that screen. It's huge and videos look ****ing incredible on it. Even with it being that large, it's still very easy to handle in the hand. Especially since Samsung is smart and puts the unlock/power button on the side instead of on the top.
I use to say 4.7 is the "barely usable size"then I held a ONE X... Now 5 in and up to me is unusable.
4.7in is perfect for me lol

I bought my wife an Evo 4G LTE as a mother's day gift (thank you customs for dragging out that surprise...) And I have to say I'm kinda jealous. The size isn't bad at all. Maybe it won't fit in your pocket if you wear tight, pulled down, tapered jeans but that's who iPhones are for ;p
The battery life also beats the 3d hands down. We were running down the battery and the darn thing wouldn't die. It was about 5 hours of screen on time over a 2 day period. Very jealous! Lets see what the rest of the year brings. I'm not to excited about the GS3 so I may get an evo as well.

I'm pretty sure that's how the SGSII and SGSIII's screens look like too. It's just that you need a digitizer + glass in the front or else you'd be poking into the screen.

I gave my wife the 3D and have the LTE.
I was concerned it would be too big. It's absolutely not. I love it.
Use it for a week and you'll think the 3D is too small.
It's actually closer to the original EVO 4G. Which I liked for size.
The slight difference in size makes a huge difference on making less mistakes on the keyboard.
My biggest gripe with the LTE is they removed the Search and Menu buttons at the bottom and added a Most Recent apps button. Really stupid move.
Some people have remapped the most recent apps button to MENU.
Yea when I use her LTE I find myself missing the menu button. I couldn't, with a good conscience give my wife my 3D and keep the LTE, hehe it was Mothers day! I used my line upgrade for it too! Her upgrade comes in September. I'll have to hold out! On the bright side,i can see how the development scene goes, Haha.

The original 4g was the sweet spot....it was the perfect size. The 3d has always felt too small in comparison and the portrait keyboard isn't easy to type on like the 4g. Now, as for the new LTE......they can keep it.....I have no desire for it whatsoever. It's too big and I have great WiMAX. No LTE til probably late next year. Additionally, after playing with one, it quite honestly doesn't feel like much of an upgrade to me. No thanks!

Is there a forum for the EVO LTE?
or will they just use the EVO 3D forums.
I agree there's a limit to how big a screen can get for me. I'd take more battery life and better picture over size. The note is too big. The LTE.. I'd say isn't too much.

I really miss the size of the OG Evo. 3D is too small. Not getting the LTE though. Will wait and see what else is coming.

Build Quality

Wow.! The build quality on this thing is AMAZING. I've dropped it so many times (clumsy me), and I just now dropped my phone one foot off a hard surface (which is quite a height, for me), and not a little scratch dared to show up on my phone.
How amazing has the phone's build quality been for you guys.?

I think the design of the back of the phone caused it to lose a large amount of strength.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679027

Yeah but you knwo what, with the first one i had, I had that slight bend as well. Im not sure if it due to the strength of the beack of the phone, but the Metal bezel around the perimeter of the device. WHen i took my phone apart, the Metal bezel was super flexable. I think thats where the weakness comes from altogether. But thats my opinion. Other than that, I think this device is built very well. The back is incredibly ugly LOL, but has a nice feel to it. ALso the screen glass, is pretty durible itself.
The longer this phone is out the more it appears to be a model to skip. I don't think i have ever seen a phone bend before. Aluminum, while cheap, does not have the strength needed for this phone. Very poor design.

Why don't you buy an iPhone and drop that, see what happens. I don't think there is any other phone out there with the same build quality as this one.
Dropped my phone down a couple of solid wooden steps. My plastic back popped off, but there isn't a scratch on this thing.

Treat it like a phone/handheld computer, not a hammer and is fine.

Working in the wireless industry that is one of my favorite things people say to give me a good laugh and have me shake my head. So please tell me exactly how many drops are supposed to be required for a cracked screen?

I would assume at least one. If a screen cracks while a phone is being held, then I'll be mortified/impressed.
Overall, I'm pleased with the build quality of this phone. I thought the 3D moved forward in some aspects and backward in others, but I feel this phone simply moves forward. I chuckle when people say the back of the phone looks ugly. Are you spending a lot of time looking at the back of your phone?

Have you read the thread where owners of the phone said it is bending when it is their pocket? Any phone can break when you drop it, that isn't the issue here. The problem is it bends. Please show me any other phone that has this problem, better yet, show me how to stop it from happening. Is there a case out there that is designed to prevent a phone from bending?
