I'm planning to get the HTC One this week but the only problem is deciding which color to get! I played with both at the AT&T store and loved them both. I know it all comes down to which one I prefer more but I would like some input on the positives and negatives on both colors to weigh it out.

Isn't there already a thread on this? Lol
Anyways I think I would like to prefer silver because i feel like it would be harder to see scratches on it but black is just so sexy looking

Do we really need a thread just to convince you which color to get?

Sigh...
In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either. The silver pops more and has a more colorblocked appearance (as you have the black, silver and white hues) while the black is more uniform and sleek. The black can be a fingerprint magnet, but when I had the white, part of the white plastic band on the back started becoming very dirty with no way to clean it off, effectively staining it. YMMV.
Get the limited Zebra Edition.

Well like you said it comes down to personal preference, but I elected to go with the black and I love it.
Just get both I have the silver, and my black should be here any minute now and I'm just going to keep both. The One might actually be a phone that I hold on to until my next upgrade is due and then some (which is a miracle for me since in the past 2 1/2 years I've owned 9 different android phones)
edit: Black just came.. wow.. I love it. Like it more than the silver, but still love the silver as well, just love the black more. lol
IMO the black looks sleeker and sexier, the silver looks more classy/elegant

Are you serious? You must really love the phone.
If only I could customize it to have the silver backing and the black front. That would be sweet. Thanks for input guys!

I went with silver because the black one wasnt out yet. The black one would look better in some cases rather than the silver.
The black version is supposed to get scratched more easily, or at least, make scratches more visible from what I've read

I feel the same way! LOL
The white on the front is harder on my eyes than the black but I like the silver back.
I went black. It's much sexier. It doesn't stand out as much as the silver, but there is something abnormally sexy about an all black phone.

That's because the colors are just finishes over metal. If the black is scratched, you will notice the grey aluminum very easily. If the silver is scratched, you won't.
SILVER must be better.
It also depends on the case. Like today My Poetic Atmosphere case came today before my Black phone. It looks great on my Silver version. Like really nice. On the Black version it still looks nice, but looks MUCH nicer on the Silver. The Black looks better with my Gloss Black TPU and my Matte Black TPU case, Not so much with my frosted clear tpu case. I also have a black Icipio Frequency case coming I think will look awesome on the black version. I do like how a black lipped case looks on the silver. It gives it a nice contrast so black cases look nice on it as well.
I think I'm going to alternate between the two either every two weeks or once a month

I think you need to upgrade your devices in your sig to have a shiny new black HTC One
I've got the Black and my Wife the Sliver.
Both have cases on them so doesn't matter that much.
But if your going caseless then the silver feels a tad better to hold and it stands out in the crowd. I used the black for the past 3 days without a case and had NO issues with scratches or finger prints on the back. By new case just came and with a case it actually feels better to hold.

Thanks! I was curious about the Ringke Slim as I have one arriving tomorrow. It's safe to say that I'll be ditching my Bugdroid TPU case for that one permanently.

I tend to use the Ringke when I'm in or around the office, or just want the phone to look nice.
I seem to lean more towards throwing my Bugdroid on when out of the office for the grip and a little added security.
It's situational for me. The Ringke looks great, but it can be a bit slippery at times.

Yeah, but on previous Ringke Slim cases I've had I've found that the white is slippery while the black finish is much more "flat" textured and ads much more grip, similar to the flat black TPU cases. This is one reason why I went with the black one this time too. It arrives today and I'll report back with the feel of it.

That would suggest that the colored variants have some sort of textured backing then. Definitely interested to hear back on that.
I was debating a black, but I wanted it quick and figured I'd just do a custom paint job myself if I wanted a different color.
Really wanna get the ringke but owning one for my nexus 4 I found that they scratch the phone.

They do. I remember this being the way it was previously. The white one was very slick and almost shiny. The black was a rougher texture and more of a matte look. However, after doing some more reading just now, it appears that the gunmetal one has the same feel as the white one. So if you want more texture you have to go black.
And, in looking at my order again I was reminded that I ordered gunmetal and not black. Looks like I'll need to place another order.

I haven't had any issues, yet. But I can see where it could possibly scratch has it is not the simplest of cases to remove.

Hopefully you ordered with Amazon, they have a great return/refund/exchange service. Good news is they are relatively inexpensive.
Updated overviews of the Ringke SLIM & Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit cases.
quick question @Andromjb , which one feels more sleek? based on past experiences with other phone, the ringke would be more sleek when compared with the TPU case?
Didnt try cruzerlite before and I wonder if their TPU technology is thinner than other TPU makers like spigen ultra or moody?

The Ringke is by far more sleek.. It's more of a "flashy" type case, keeping the form of the Nexus 6 practically identical.
Cruzerlite is a solid TPU case for the price. It does add a little thickness, most notably around the edges. Provides great grip and mid range drop protection.
Can't go wrong with either case, all comes down to personal preference of course.
On another note, I was recently contacted by Orzly. They will be sending me their Nexus 6 cases for review. Looking forward to receiving their products and hopefully I'll get those hope soon as well.

Hey, is it possible to post more photos of the skin? I only saw two. Interested in some side photos and whatnot. I really want to switch mine to a black cover and get the white N6 cause the white and black thing throws me off, but really dislike the midnight blue color scheme. Thanks if you can

I personally wouldn't put any white on the front of mine, but that's my personal preference. I'm by no means telling you not to if you want that option.
dbrand has a lot of nice pictures up on their site where you can check out of the front options.
Fronts:
Matte White
Leather White
Matte Black
White Carbon Fiber
Black Carbon Fiber
Black Metal
Black Leather
Red Carbon Fiber
I meant you said ebony and ivory together, but you got a black covering. So I am assuming you're talking about the bezel on the side being white or the black front and white cover? I'm confused now hahs

I saw a few OP5 "leaked" pictures with cases that had various accent colors around the top/bottom edges and camera hole. I really liked the one in gold. Thanks for the link.
Edit: I just ordered one with the gold trim for my Midnight Black 8GB/128GB OP5 also ordered today.
Are there any cases on Amazon in the US? I can't find any.

I agree that that web site sucks for clarity around selected the color you want. First and this is my assumption from the web site pictures, all the cases are actually transparent plastic/silicon but include accent colors on the top/bottom, trim colors on the camera/flash hole and on the buttons. This is backed their rambling product details description.
Assuming that is correct the color of your phone always shows with only the accents altering the look. So my phone is Midnight black and that web page allowed me to pick either a black or a gold trim color. That despite the gold trim photo shows a tan OP5 cover with gold trim. I'm expecting that I'll still get my desired black/gold look after applying the case.
Unfortunately for you, I can only see two trim color choices one black the other gold. This despite your desired blue included in some of the case photos. Thank goodness the case is so cheap or I would not have bought one. For me this case will likely only be temporary until the usual top brands make cases that I prefer and have in stock.
I like this case's transparent back as I can further customize the look. I have a clear backed bumper case on my current phone where I photoshopped a fitted picture of my favorite NBA team's logo that I printed then cut to fit inside the cover.

Oh, I didn't look very closely at whether it is opaque or transparent. If it is transparent, I may just have to do what you are suggesting with adding a picture in there of my choosing. I ordered the black one. I can report back once I receive it, which may take 2-3 weeks to arrive in the US. That red and black Otterbox case looks awesome too! Maybe someday I'll splurge on that one.

Still nothing on Amazon US, but Ebay now has the official Oneplus cases listed, as well as a bunch of other ones. None of them ship from within the US though so who knows on shipping time. Still wait and see at this point.
Hey guys,
Don't get me wrong, I will probably put a case on my phone too... but did you catch the Jerryrig Everything review of the OP5? It seems pretty resistant to scratches... only a razor actually managed to scratch the back of the device. Looks pretty robust.

Aye, at least they're planning to support it though. I always liked their screen protectors.
On Jul 3rd I pre-ordered two dBrand skins for my OP5 and they arrived on Jul 6th. The two skins were the Mahogany wood (back and camera lens cover) and the Hyperblack Titanium (back with red camera lens cover and red 1+ logo). Even though I wanted to add the front Mahogany skins the fact that I've also ordered the Ozly tpsp screen protector made me realized I'd have issues whenever I needed to replace the screen cover.
Attached are pictures of both skins with accessories un-applied and the Mahogany skins applied including the camera lens cover. Notice that the two Mahogany skins have different wood patterns. Running your finger over each skin I realized that the Mahogany adds almost no additional grip to the slippery naked OP5 while the Hyperblack Titanium skin has more texture which I believed would add more grip. This is not to say that once applied the Mahogany skin did not reduce the overall slipper feel of a naked OP5, as it did. In the future I'll likely try the Hyperblack Titanium but right now I really like the Mahogany's overall look the best.
I still bought a cheap clear plastic case which is currently on a slow boat from China. I'll use it when I'm going someplace where accidents are more likely such as camping or a party. These skins are so thin that I don't anticipate putting the case on to be an issue.
This is the first time I've every bought or applied a skin as I've previously only gone with bumper cases. Over all I think the application went well but I certainly don't have the corner flaps applied as well as seen on dBrand's OP5 application video. Most definitely you need a hairdryer during application as I had a bubble under the skin and heating that section and the bubble's path to the outside saved having to peal the skin off to start again. It works much like you push bubbles out from a clear plastic screen protector. Getting the initial bottom alignment applied properly is the key to the rest of the application. Mess that up and you alignment issues multiply. Heating and stretching the skin is dangerous and only helps with the tiniest of misalignment.
The dBrands fit overall and specifically around the buttons is as perfect as a mass produced item can be. In conclusion, if you choose to use a skin you'd be hard pressed to find a brand with a more accurate fit.
P.S. For grip the Carbon Fiber would likely be your best bet but I thought it was butt ugly so went another way.
Edit: Added top, bottom, right and left side pictures.
Hyperblack comes along with the white 1+ logo? Or is it just the packaging design?
I am thinking of buying Black Dragon.
Usually, when is the Dbrand Sale? Any idea?
Thanks

No, what appears on the Hyperblack picture as a white 1+ logo is just the skin's backing tape. The Hyperblack I picked has a cut out of the 1+ logo then I ordered the red colored logo cut out to fill in the skin's logo cut out. On the Mahogany skin I chose not to have any 1+ logo so the skin was solid (no logo cut out at all). The Black Dragon skin was already available when I purchased my skins. I was tempted to get that instead of the Hyperblack.
I have no idea when there will be a sale. I didn't feel the price was too excessive. In fact I would have only bought the Mahogany at this time but the added $5 for shipping meant that a second skin only cost me an extra $6 and the shipping on both skins became free. That's much like how Amazon prices small items to be just under the free shipping costs to get you to buy one more item. In this case I went for it as a Hyperblack skin also tempted me.
I just got the black dragon skin with orange logo and camera cutout. I previously used the titanium and the hyperblack on my Nexus 6p and I can say that the dragon skin has a very similar texture than the hyperblack. IN terms of looks, I have to say that it looks similar to the hyperblack except for the cracked look/texture and the slight silver highlights in certain areas. All in all, I think it looks amazing on this device.
Im looking to grab one of the Mah Wood one and having it under my Orzly flexi case. It looks pretty amazing with the wood skin. Would you be able to show off the sides of the phone? I would love to see the fit on the sides
dBrand sure do make some precision skins! Let us know once you installed them!
Here is mine! Just finished. Marble with cement logo

I added pictures of both side and top and bottom to the original post. Don't be too harsh of my corner imperfections, I was a rookie
hmph @3DSammy don't I know you from my tab s threads?
Yep, new device new forum visits
Not Dbrand, but Gadgetshieldz. This is a carbon Flat Back.

Looking good!! I've ordered mine but with red logo cutout. Is there good grip with the black dragon skin? My only quirk with this device so far is how slippy the back is and was hoping the black dragon skin would sort that out for me..

From what dBrand have been saying, the dragon skins look to be quite grippy. I'd love to use skins over cases but don't trust myself enough

I don't trust myself either!! Thinking of getting one of the rhinoshield bumpers so I can keep it looking nice, on the back at least :victory: Hopefully that along with the tempered glass SP I have one will protect it.. and so long as the skin is grippy I hopefully shouldn't drop it.

Just be careful with that combo on a Rhino Shield. they can rip off Tempered glass and the cases lately have been so tight getting them on with even a skin on is really hard and taking it off is even worse. I damaged my OP3 trying to get the Rhino Shield off when using a skin. best results is to cut the skin so it doesn't go up and down the sides or corners of the phone.
I still remember ordering that case there was no warning on the prouduct page about it not working with tempered glass and when I complianed and got nowhere a sudden disclaimer went up :/

It definitely has some texture that helps the phone be less slippery but not as much as I expected. But it certainly help add a decent amount of grip, especially on the sides of the phone which are very thin and rounded.

Ye my mate was saying the RhinoShield on his OP3t is way too tight and difficult to get off. I saw one on a S8 and looks a fair bit looser, hoping it's a bit looser on the OP5 and fits.
Thanks for the heads up though:good:

Thanks, so long as it adds some amount of grip I'll be happy. If not I might just end up getting a case:good:

I went with the dragon back myself...

So it does actually look as good in real life as in the renders then eh? How does it feel?
I like the case that comes with the phone, but as you know it doesn't protect upper front side and rear cameras. I've purchached a similar one
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32984767841.html
but its side faces don't fully fit, it's not mine's fault, there are some reviews saying the same
Any other case like that? I've tried a transparent one and is ok, but I'd rather a transparent black one. So few cases for this phone...
Nillkin Nature Series TPU case has a transparent/gray version, which has a slightly raised edge around the camera, protecting it nicely when you put down your phone on flat surfaces. Overall, it's a great buy, as usual with this brand. Check it out, maybe it suits you.

It looks a littler thicker than the original, specially at the corners but I'll give it a try
