Ok guys I have my first case of body damage. The nice rubbery coating on the body has seemed to "chip off" in some spots, they are very small but that's how it starts lol one spot is on my speaker grill I now have a white spot there where I'm guessing a small piece of something sharp dug into the coating. Also on the side right above the volume rocker it also chipped and it was almost like something worked it way under coating and lifted it in a tiny spot so I had to scratch it off cuz I'm so anal lol just thought I'd let y'all know..I had a tpu case on it when both happened so I'm gonna say that something got into the case and did this damage.

O and that little streak just above the speaker grill IS also one that will not come off..lol

So was your tpu case pretty loose, that you think something got inside? What have you tried to get rid of that streak?
Tpu case is pretty tight but not so tight that something couldn't get in especially with me being outdoors all the time and getting dirty and dusty lol but as far as the streak I realy haven't tried much other than a barly damp cloth and my finger lol not super worried about it just wanted to let everyone know I'll probly end up buying a new body when they come out with it on etradesupply.com they already have int. Version bit it doesn't have lte radio antenna sadly cuz I would love to have the red accents!!

About the body, was it you back in One X forums, who modded two different body pieces together?
Sure was

Black and white buttons lol its still rockin a white body with black buttons my girl is using it atm which reminds me I need to update her viper rom lol!
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium
I didn't go into details, but was the whole body switching process too complex? Time wise and all alignments and cutouts matched?
Na all it took for me was one guitar pic. But I think most people recomend two or three all u do is wedge it in between the plastic body and the rest of the phone if u look at the sode of phone where the edge dips down is good place to start

My apologies if this has already been asked.. is a screen guard necessary for the hox+ or is gorilla glass tolerant enough? I never touch the screen with my nails n I don't keep any other stuff in the same pocket where I keep the phone..

Some users have reported minor, tiny scratches, but I believe that was just coating over the Gorilla, could be specks of sand... I use Zagg HD on mine ...

The screen is pretty resilient and should hold up unless you do garden work and such, if you experience scratches of imperfections you can recoat the glass with a liquid shield.
So then the glass itself doesn't get scratched,it's only the coating above it that's susceptible to damage?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Yes man, I totally recommend you to put screen protector... Me thinking naively that I don't need a SP got lots of minor coating chips... It is almost invisible but when you rub your finger on the screen, you will see it.. Real scratches? None.

I bought a nice neoprene jacket for my HOX+...
Lightweight and easy to remove when I need to get to my phone...
Ok so I was wondering if anyone DOES NOT use a screen protector...I want to part with my screen protector except for beach trips and what not. Can the gorilla glass accomplish this. I know how easily quartz can scratch anything but the screen is so beautiful
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
I don't use a screen protector, There are a number of microscopic scratches on the surface of the screen. I can't photograph them with a camera because I don't have one, but yeah they are there. You can only see them when the screen is angled perfectly in the light. The scratches don't bother me because I honestly can't see them unless I look very hard. They are there. I treat my phone well. Have never dropped it or rubbed it against a surface that will scratch it. This wear and tear is just from the microscopic sand in my pocket.
Don't use one as well. I still haven't got any scratches on the screen so.. Only thing you have to make sure is that you really don't "accidentally" put your keys in the same pocket. Normally it should last very long without any damages
AW: Use of a screen protector?
Same thing here. I do use my device for 3 months now without a screen protector. I also do have some tiny scratches on my screen that can only be seen in the right light and angle so I honestly don't give a f**k

Zagg HD
I have a Zagg HD screen protector for mine, and you can only tell its ont here around the edges and with the screen off. When the screen is on it pretty much disappears except for the edge that shows under the earpiece. Very happy with it, as there have been gouges in the protector that could have been my screen. Interestingly enough thee gouges have disappeared over time and only last a day or two on the protector before it looks almost new again.
I never use screen protectors or cases. At that same time I'm always careful with my devices

+1 for this. Haven't used a screen protector but the gorilla glass is really holding it's own. My pocket is the only protection my phone gets. Even with my keys accidentally going into the same pocket I still haven't had any problems.
I use a Seidio Active case, but no screen protector. I tried one, but it didn't fit right due to the way the glass is beveled at the edges. I keep it in my pocket and it still looks great.
No screen protector here either, I picked up a snap-on case/holster combo on Flea-bay with a screen protector. Took that sucker off about 10 minutes after it went on. Haven't used one in general for a while even back when I had my iPhone 4, got tired of fighting loose corners and air bubbles.

I scratched 2 HOX+s pretty easily. I actually smashed the screen in an unrelated incident and will be using screen protectors from now on!
With the fear of dropping our phones always looming. I'm sure we've all felt the horrible feeling as it seems to hang in the air forever.
So for anyone who hasn't found out there is a free easy way to HELP reduce screen webbing
Step 1
Extend foot outward at least 5 in.
Step 2
Watch phone hit foot
Step 3
Watch phone hit floor with slightly less force
While this is not fool proof it does help disperse most of the momentum the phone had built up. It has most likely saved my ass multiple times!

I use to do this all the time with my inspire lol still havnt dropped the one x + yet ( knock on wood ) I've punted my inspire a couple times though trying to get my foot under it quick lol sure did save my screen many times though I dropped it once and saved it with my foot and just had a piece of the black plastic by the buttons crack and fall out and save my whole screen I would much prefer a good case than have to kick it but it beats a broken screen

I find I never drop my phone until I put a case on it.. I guess I tend to let my guard down when I falsely believe my case will protect my phone.. That is after all how I got the One X+, dropped my Inspire and watched as the screen shattered on cement. Thankfully though my otterbox case survived the ordeal perfectly fine while also protecting the back of the device...

I once had an old Nokia (you know, the one where snake was the only game). Dropped it, stuck my foot out to catch it and I was hospitalized for 2 days due to multiple foot fractures from the impact.
I always end up kicking whatever it is across the room when I try that.
I generally catch it on my foot and flick it back into my hand .... like a boss
I have had my HOX+ for about a month and love it. But there is a problem on the back of my phone there is a million scratches it seems even rubbing your finger on it gives it more scratches and scuffs has anyone else noticed this. I also have kept it in a otter box for most of its life and just took it out about a week ago.
Mine has scuffs too. My phone fits so snugged on the case that it gets scratched by it :'(

AW: Scuffs on Back
I have my device without a case in my pocket or on the desk and can until now just detect tiny scratches when I look close enough. Only thing that scratches easily for me is the camera cover,probably the any glare coating...

Same here. The only time I got a scratch is when I dropped it and somehow it molded back as if there is no scratch? I've had my phone for about 3 months without a screen protector and case - so far so good!

Well, I have a case mate barely there and it is a pain to remove when I want to clean any dust accumulation. It's so tight that removing the case can scratch the the side of the phone.
Never dropped my phone either.

Same for me, although the beats logo is already half rubbed off, and the very edge right in the middle if the side bezel has some slight wear (shows silver through it) which is likely where I grip the phone. Obviously I don't use a case so YMMV.

Put me down for being a happy black owner as well. Flawless, first thing i checked was gaps in the store and didn't spot any, came home ran the pixel test and not a single dead pixel. Whats most impressing is the finish, its almost scratch proof been without a case for a lil over a week and holding up real well.
Dropped my black in the sand face down and now have 2 tiny tiny silver dots by my front facing cam. This thing is so delicate. My Dbrands skin can't get here fast enough.
