Gold color - looking for your impressions - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Thinking about picking up the gold color but having not seen it in store yet (still in Japan on business) I was curious what other owners who have Gold think of it?
From the videos/pictures it kind of has more of a copper type tint to it but am not certain.
Thoughts? Have you bought it and still like it or wish you had gone with another color?
Thanks!

I love the gold. Just got one yesterday and really liking the HTC experience. The phone has more of a light gold faded penny look. It looks better in person than it does in pics. Also the iPhone gold is similar to the color of the m8. Best buy only ones now selling the gold m8. But the gunmetal is nice one as well.

I wanted gold, but after seeing it in person at best buy, it wasn't impressive. I have the gunmetal

CruzerLite case for the Evo 4G LTE

Hey guys,
I recently got an EVO 4G LTE device on Sprint, and one of the first things I wanted to do was get a case. I went to CruzerLite, because of their good prices and yet amazing product. The case fits like a glove, and is good protection too..
Make sure to check CruzerLite out at cruzerlite.com, and check out the EVO LTE cases cruzerlite.com/cases/htc/evo.
Don't forget that if you buy 2 you get one free with the code B2G1!
Bought a few myself and I love them. Also bought the Diztronic for when I want plain black. Very similar cases and I love them all.

cleaning cases
call me crazy but I have always used the foaming shoe cleaner on cases....thats the only thing that works for me!
I ordered the red one last night. Used 'xda' discount code. $11.40 shipped. And it has already shipped! I can't wait. I already have the diztronic transparent black case and I love it. If I like the cruzerlite as much as the one I have, I'll eventually order more cuz I like to switch up like I did for my OG EVO.

Talk about GREAT service. I ordered 3 cases, blk, smoke and red, Wed evening (July 4th). I received an email the next morning sayiny they shipped and I just received them today Sat. Great service and I like the feel of these.
I'm not a fan of these type of cases, but this looks sweet and like it will still keep the phone slim. I ordered a black one just now.

Let me know what you think of the case!
can say I've never been a fan of TPU cases - the ones I've had for my EVO always were bulky or parts were too flimsy. I just got my cruzerlite case in and I really like it. I wish they would have ben the volume rocker with two cut outs to stiffen that part up a bit but it's not as bad as others I've had. I really recommend these.

Looking for a thinner case that looks good with my white evo

I currently have the diztronic frosted/white tpu case on my white EVO. I loved it before it got really dirty looking. Anyone have good case recommendations for a white EVO. Pics if you have them. I would like to stay with a white grey or clear case if anyone knows one that doesn't get too dirty.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I know what ya mean. I have that same case and it begins to look a little yellow over time. I also have 3 of the Cruzerlite Androidified cases in grey, smoked, and clear. The clear one is begging to get the same yellowish appearance as the Diztronic matte clear is. I have a white generic brand hard case that looks good. It doesn't have a cutout for the kickstand like the Featherlite case does, but other than that they're almost identical. Biggest difference is mine only cost $6 shipped!! I've posted pics on another thread, but here they are again. I'll post them from my black Evo LTE (because they were taken with it) in just a minute.

There ya go. I'm super happy with it. Doesn't offer a whole lot of protection of course, but does against daily use. The sides come up high enough so that the display doesn't touch of you lay it face down, nice feature I think. Been super reliable so far and no color changing! I do swap between cases regularly, so I haven't used it a whole lot. It has been used as much as my Cruzerlite and Diztronic cases though, so it won't discolor as soon, is at all. It's also much easier to clean up. It has a nice soft touch feel to it also
EDIT: I can post a link to the eBay seller I bought from if you're interested.

I've got that same case and mine is getting discolored. It's not obvious, but if you look close you can see it. I have to mention it to others before they really notice. I have the red and grey color of that case too, and they haven't discolored at all

That's gorgeous bro!! I LOVE it!!!
My first car was a 66 Mustang with a 289. I had it restored and just kept adding more and more to it over the next 2 years. Almost every dollar I made went on to that car. New paint, emblems, interior, suspension, wheels/tires, transmission rebuilt, motor rebuilt, etc. I was specifically looking for an old muscle car when I found it. I loved that car! Then I sold it and made a large down payment on my 98 GT. I was 18 at the time, and though I still love my 98 GT, I kick myself on the butt for selling the 66. I swore I'd never sell another car after that, lol. Still have my 98 too! I feel in love with the new body style of 05 the moment I saw them! A lot of that was due to their retro styling. I gave it a year to see how the new motor was, then ordered my 06 near the end of 05. Didn't part with my 98, so I just added a second Pony to the stable. Not really crazy about the 10 and up body, though they did make some nice improvements for the 12's and up. I can't decide if I want to get another mid 60's Mustang or a 90-93 notch/coupe Mustang (I'm not crazy about the hatchbacks) for my next Mustang.
My Dad bought a 98 Cobra about 1 month after I got my GT. It always sat in the garage under a car cover. Bone stock except for a K&N air filter, and only 23k miles on it!! He was going to let me buy it for whatever I sold my 98 for. I would occasionally drive it just to keep everything lubricated and to keep flat spots off the tires. I always did the oil changes to it too for the last few years, as I'm an automobile technician. I was driving it the day of my wreck! Totaled it! Sucks! I hate it so bad! I did by it back from the insurance company though to swap the motor and transmission in to my 98 GT. Thought about buying a Fox body notch too and putting the Cobra drivetrain in to it. Probably just gonna swap it in to my 98 GT though. Well enough of me talking cars on a phone forum! I just get carried away talking Mustangs once I start! Lol.
Congrats on your ride though, it is BEAUTIFUL!!

Replace the Verizon Branded Battery door with a original rest of the world back!!

Hey if you want to tell Verizon screw off, and get the same battery door as the rest of the world, then buy one from ebay. I contacted this seller and they say it has the Samsung logo and all. So I ordered one for my white Note 3, I'll post it when I get it. But here is the link if you want one. They are worth the price in my opinion, the Verizon battery cover looks horrible.

I have T-Mobile which is tastefully done but good to know there is a cheap replacement if I ever damage it or want to go black back for a change lol.

It fits perfect, it's for sure the original back no doubt about. Even had a protective film around it and a cut out where most companies brand the phone with printing. Highly recommend it for anyone. If you were nervous to buy cause you thought it was fake it's definitely not.

So I have to say I checked out a black one yesterday and my new back feels very similar if not exactly the same as the black one. Maybe they changed the material for printing on the White one when the carriers branded the phones, but it's also not as shiny as the old back. Looks and feels better, win win.

Yeah that's what everyone says but I just compared this new one with a Verizon black one and it feels exactly the same. This new one with Samsung branding is a different build then the White Verizon one. Even the stamped code on the back is different by one number. When you hold it with no phone on it, you can feel it's a fraction thicker. I'm really happy with this back
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Nice cover! If I ever run my phone naked, I'd scoop one of these up. But since I have a case on my phone, you'll never see the back cover so it'd be a waste of $20. Good find though.

Colored OEM style backs!!

I know some of you have been looking for these and I found some that look really good with stitching and all. 3.99 isn't a bad price either.

Just ordered one. Will post photos once it's in.
So mine just came in today. I got it in mint green.
The texture of it feels very similar to the one that came with my phone. It also has a little writing on the back that says "Bubblepack".
It didn't fit perfectly when I first tried to put it on, until I tried putting it on starting from the bottom.
It feels a little bit more grippy but that could be because I just got back from biking and my hands are sweaty. Either way, it's not a bad price if you want to change the battery cover color.
Thanks for sharing the pic, looks good. Did you order from one of the sellers that shows pics without the text in the corner? I ordered from this seller and I'll be annoyed if they show up with text on them, because I ordered four of them haha. http://www.ebay.com/itm/12123930293...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

I went with the black "Greyish" color. I'm happy with it.
I thought the gold one looked like a toy, so i went with the black. I really wish they would have had the white.
