Hi all,
After spending a while looking around looking sites and asking questions for a good case and docking charger for my HTC One X+ and not finding a great deal of info on the One X+ (the One X seemed to be everywhere, but not a great deal on the One X+), I thought I'd share my experience here...
I went with this hard case
And this docking charger.
The phone fits in the charger without the need of having to take the phone out of the case, which is a great benefit.
Hope this helps people looking for info and getting conflicting info on the One X and the One X+
:laugh:
Is there a version of this case in the US?

hey, can anybody recommend me a good dock/cradle for the HTC Hero (Europe)?
The official one is around £30, which is very expensive for a dock/cradle. Does anybody know of any similar ones for cheaper?
Not the tacky ones off ebay or anything.
Thanks,
Alex
I have one that looks like this http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Docking-Cra...ccessories&hash=item5ad9f65ab9#ht_1719wt_1137.
Or you could try this one http://cgi.ebay.com/Dual-Charger-Cr...Accessories&hash=item19b7bb2c64#ht_2999wt_911
The problem with these docking stations is that you can't fit the phone into one that has a case fitted to it. I wish they would bring out some. Something alittle like the apple x-stand!
Hey everyone,
I recently purchased my HTC Amaze and love it. I'm new to the rooting and flashing scene but having fun getting to see what I can do.
I've been looking at all the different cases and keep debating on the kraken and the powerskin. Wondering if a battery case is worth more than just buying an extra battery.
Has anyone tried a Powerskin case? If so, how was it? I looked at the Powerskin threads in other forums but want to see if there is anything specific with the HTC amaze.
Is the powerskin a good idea? bad?
Thanks!
I haven't tried the powerskin. But I did do some reading and most of the feedback was negative. Makes phone really bulky, had problems charging, pack heating up, difficulty of plugging in the micro to the phone...
The design wasn't for the amaze. It was made for a different phone but works on the amaze. Look at the back piece it has a long opening for the camera..
I went with an Anker 1900mah that came with a charger. My stock battery can last upto 16hrs but with heavy use it doesn't last too long. Anker for a backup to get through the rest of the day.

Thanks for the advice! I'm glad someone outbid me on ebay.
And I'm glad you pointed out that it doesn't really fit on the htc but it just happens to.

I tried this for the mt4g and it was awful. It was awkward to put on and it made the phone very bulky. I would recommend the D3O case from tmo or a soft gel skin. I've always used those and have always been satisfied

Has anyone been able to find one? I've come across dozens for the original one x but I'm hesitant to buy one because I hear the pogo pins don't allign.

May i know where you read that the pogo pins don't align? i was under the impression that HOX and HOX+ are the same in this context.
May be you can look at the Mugen power's one.

Had a quick look at the Mugen power website - http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/htc/mugen-power-6000mah-battery-case-for-htc-one-x.html
They list that it is for both HTC one x as well as HTC One X+. So technically any ebay battery case which works would be fine...
i was almost buying it for my phone too, but it struck me that it might be a better idea to have a portable external battery - that's going to fit any other device too! Might not be the case for you

I had a One X (original dual core version) and it DOES NOT FIT the CR650 dock 100%. if you wiggle it around it will work for a second or so, but the international version and the AT&T version of the original One X have a slightly different POGO layout. Assuming the AT&T X+ has that same layout as the original AT&T One X, it wont fit. When I looked at my old One X with my AT&T One X+, the pogo pins look like they are in the exact same spot.

Please note: This will NOT fit AT&T HTC One X

After seeing someone mod the CR-S650 to fit the AT&T HOX, I ordered the dock and modified it to work with the HOX+. It was actually a lot easier than I thought because the POGO pins are only shifted over 1 space. So I took it apart, drilled a hole one space over and moved the entire POGO board over 1 slot. Now I have a working CR-S660 for my AT&T HOX+!
Moving the POGO pins over 1 slot lines up w/ the phone horizontally, but it's still a bit off vertically. I had to shave off the two small plastic tabs on the botton of the dock. This most likely means that I won't be able to use a case w/ the phone, but still very happy to have a working dock w/ POGO pins.

Both posts found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965189&page=2
I assumed because if it didn't fit a pogo pin dock, then how would it fit a pogo pin case?
The external battery is a good idea, but I dont want to have to carry cables + a battery around for some extra juice. I found one on amazon (http://www.amazon.com/External-Portable-3500mAh-Battery-Charger/dp/B008HAU29E/ref=pd_sim_sbs_cps_1) and I think it should be here by tomorrow. If it works then I will post back.

Agree, Dock and case are same... I think it would wok. will wait for your results!
I got my case but as I predicted the pogo pins don't line up. Its only $20 so I might as well try to modify it so they do. Hopefully I can figure something out.

Purchased one of these from Amazon UK and more than happy with it, good protection and about 75%more phone use between charges.
PowerSkin Battery Case for HTC One X +
by PowerSkin
:good:
I have one with capacity 2400 mAh with output 5v and 600mAh .I have one x plus .when using it the phone become hot. Is that normal???
I bought a case on amazon thinking it would be compatible with my phone but it seems to be only for the int original one x. I've read that cases for the xl work with the x+. The case splits in two and it seems like all I would have to do is make holes to scoot the pins over. Any tips on how to do this and thoughts if it'll work?

Ummm, hello
so i bought a htc one x+ 64GB around a week ago...
It came with a White silicon cover which i am having a hard time with, i keep on getting annoyed by trying to push the phone into my pocket
but when i try that the silicon cover has too much grip so it sticks halfway i my pocket...
so i'm about to buy a new cover, a hardcover and also a screen protector,
but i can't find any good for the htc one x+, only for the htc one x, so m question is: if i buy a cover and screenprotector ment for the htc one x
will it work perfectly with the htc one x+ or is there a little diffrence in size? i tried googling but couldnt find any answer to my question,
Regards,

Next time, post the question in the Q&A section.
But to answer your question, yes. Both screen protectors and covers work, as long as they are both for specific versions of the One X and X+. That is, either International One X and One X+, or North American One X (like the AT&T One X) and One X+ (again AT&T One X+). So be careful, because there are differences between the international One X/X+, and the N/A One X/X+, like the placement of pogo pins on the back of the device - this is for covers.
As for screen protectors, all are OK for any of the models, although it's a bit difficult to find ones that cover the screen completely. Search the threads on this forum and the One X forum for more information on this.

Um, im sorry, next time i will post it there
thanks for your help.
Why do you need a cover anyway ? A phone with a cover makes it extremely big, while it is already not easy to put a X+ into your pocket .
No worries I have large pockets I just hate silicon cases because they stick In my pocket xD
