well after searching for a case, my search is over.. i just came to conclusion that i cant stand cases... i will go naked, anyone else naked? if so how are you standing any scratches?
i just love the nude feeling of my phone. no better feeling imo.
Yes but I am protecting it. Its too elegant. I cant leave it without a case until i go to sleep where I spend 1-3 hours using the phone then I take the phone off the case. But when I am at work or going out, it has to be in a case !

I NEVER use a cover OR screen protector on my phones. Modern phones are hard wearing enough to not need one. Even without a screen protector, my One XL never had a screen scratch even after a year.
Cases are ugly, make the phone bulkier and hide the HTC build goodness. Screen protectors ruin the feel and look of the display.
Agreed, everyone bangs on about the build quality and one of the reasons this phone is better than the s4 is because the galaxy is crappy plastic and the one is stunning aluminum but then cover their one in crappy plastic or leather anyway! I bought the double dip case and used it for a day, spoilt the phone. Unless you work on a building site then leave alone and enjoy your phone. If you're that worried you can get insurance for next to nothing, in fact, a lot of back accounts give you insurance for free!

I'm waiting for Beyza to release a slim leather pouch for the HTC One. I emailed them but they said nothing was in the works yet.
I've never used screen protectors or anything like that but I personally like pouches as they allow you to transport the phone with decent protection and when you use it you get to appreciate it in all its glory. I've always wondered why you would add a piece of cheapish plastic in front of a nice screen anyway.
I haven't got my HTC One yet but am planning on ordering one of these
I'm not going to use a case. I've had cases for previous phones, but I always took them off after a few days because I hate them. So I will go with a leather pouch again just like I always have

You might need it to protect the cheapish plastic on the back of the phone!! lol
Used to have a pouch only policy until I damaged my One X, this time ill try an easy to pull out transparent cover
There is something relieving about covers, you just use your phone without focusing too much but yea I would go with the most thin/transparent/easy to remove cover
Shame about the official double flip, its really nice but not of good quality

Didn't use a cover on my Sensation and it's still in pristine conditions after 2 years. No reason to use a cover if you keep it in your pocket and don't use your phone in disaster zones!
The only reason I've bought a case for my Sensation was because my Clingo car mount was starting to rip the plastic bits from its back.
Considered going naked with it, but eventually I caved in and ordered myself a Spigen Ultra Thin Air.
It comes with a screen protector too, but I don't use these.
When at home it's going to be naked, unless my little sister would be playing with it at that moment.
I've tried cases with several phones I've owned and they never last more than a week or two. Don't plan on buying one for the One. I'm sure I'll regret it someday, but that's what equipment coverage is for!
The problem with the spigen is that its built from hard plastic, too tight for the device and also will most likely break on fall, I prefer the slim Xlevis transparent rubber case looks better as well (posted photos on mega thread)

Same here. My Sensation has been used caseless for two years and its still fine. I've flung it onto a footpath, dropped it many times, placed it in pockets with coins etc and it remarkably robust. I loved the utilitarian design of the Senny. A rubber back for grip, recessed screen. It's been brilliant. The screen has a few sleeks on it, but no scratches.
I wonder how the ONE will fare if treated the same
Pah!
I am loving the feel of my phone. Part of me is thinking of just getting a bumper for it.

I've never used a case on any of my phones though I do understand why some people might need to (kids/work environment etc).
i went naked with my HTC evo 3d but when i held the One it felt to slippery and it was to easy for it to slide out of hoodie pockets and stuff so i bought one only for the grip/slip factor

I have put together a video review of the Otterbox Commuter Series Case for the Motorola Milestone XT720.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with this case:
http://www.otterbox.com/Motorola-Milestone-XT720-Commuter-Series-Case/MOT4-XT720-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html
It can also be purchased from Amazon.com for a bit cheaper:
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Commuter-Motorola-Milestone-XT720/dp/B004C5P9GY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1294146729&sr=8-1
Here is my video review:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrEc_0CNPag
Excellent. I have bought one through Amazon, though the price is astronomical (because of unusual shape), it is worth the money. In initial days I did a lot of SD card swap, SIM swap so the rubber loosened up a little bit, but it is keeping my phone like new in spite of a few bumps.
I have the otterbox case and I think it changes the angle at which the usb/charge cable is attached.
I think over time it is going to cause damage to the micro usb slot.
Otterbox is way too thick and bulky. I prefer SGP Ultra Capsule Case

It already did. At least I managed to break the little cover in a few weeks. And yes there is a high potential that even the contacts will get damaged if not handled carefully through the slot.
I was actually thinking about taking a dremmel tool to mine and sand it down a bit. It's the top of the bevel that causes the problem. I have to agree that there is a huge potential for damage in the long term.
SGP is way better!
I've had the Zagg & the SGP.
My buddy has the Otterbox.
The Zagg doesn't look great & tends to 'smear'.
The SGP is slim fitting, firm & cushy. The screen protector is very good.
The otterbox is a big & puffy, looks like a retard's helmet.
You have to be a douche bag to use the otterbox IMHO.

I know. I'm just goofing around.
I actually only use my otterbox when I know that I'm going to be outside for a long time. I don't want to drop the phone and break it now that I have it just the way I like it!
Even though the SGP case is nice, nothing beats the look of the phone without anything on... Only use the case when I have to since I just love the look of the XT720 natural. The screen protector for SGP XT720 feels good, but I just noticed the other day a small hole in the screen protector - no idea how it happened. Fortunately it's at the bottom by the buttons and not by the actual screen so no big deal but I can't figure out how it could have gotten such a hole... wonder if that would have happened with otterbox.
my otterbox case just came in today, it fits nicely & looks pretty solid too...very pleased with it!!^^

I live in Panamà , so i order it from Ebay ...
I've had this Otterbox since I got my phone last September and have been pretty satisfied with it. I had a similar one on my Blackberry that had the hard case on the inside of the rubber case and the rubber loosened up. Not on this version....even after the numerous battery & SD card pulls during the ROM flashing fun. I do a fair amount of outside work so I feel the need to protect my phone as much as I can.
Also, I used the screen protector that came with the Otterbox, but when I had to replace my phone, it got boogered up. When the new one came, I simply left the temporary shipping screen protector on and it's done quite well.
Accidents happen (Accident After-Action Report) XD
Well I have even more love for this case. Recently I was in a bicycle accident that ripped my chin open and required many stitches. My phone/music player is always in the front synch pouch of my slingbag when I'm riding. When I flew over my handlebars and landed on my chin, I also landed right on the phone and I slid a good 3-4 feet before I stopped. While my chin was pretty messy by this time, my phone came out intact and with a lot less scratches and gauges then I thought. On the plus side, it even has a bit of soaked-in blood on the scratches that makes it look badass .
Overall, I've gotten quite a bit of value out of my initial 34.99 that I payed for it and I'm still using the case since. Hope my future replacement for my XT720 will have as good of a case as my Otterbox.
EDIT: Pics for proof.

I have got my otterbox case last week from ebay India. I am completely satisfied with the item.
It looks sturdy and gripping in hand. I like the look of the phone with this case.
These are the accessories I find absolutely vital for my Droid 1, and hence I'm really hoping we get for the Droid Bionic:
Car Dock - I think Motorola's been pretty good about these, right? But I know some Android devices don't get these right away (Nexus One), but I definitely need one of these from the get-go.
Holster - Dunno about everyone else, but my Droid 1 is too big for a pocket, and I've always preferred the holster for it's ability to cover both sides of my phone when I'm not using it. So this is a must for me as well.
Not sure if I'd ever get a media dock, because removing the case to put it down is just too much of a hassle. For the Car Dock it's worth the effort for usability, but I just don't see it for the media dock. Might as well just plug it in with a cable.
I'll post once I have an official list.

We've actually had cases ready for the Bionic for about 4 months already. Since motorola changed the form factor we had to throw the old ones away Live and learn I suppose.. next time we won't have a mold made so far before launch!
I've held off on buying a case yet because I bought the dock. The dock is being shipped as well as the phone (ordered both this morning) so I'll need to wait to see them before I decide on anything..

As much as I like the docks, If it means you cant use a case thats pretty much a deal breaker for me. Would be so easy for them to include a removable insert like iGrip does so the docks could be used with or without a case. Hopefully they'll come around eventually.
When I ordered over the phone I chose a silicone case and screen protectors.
Then I realized that the Bionic has gorilla glass so no need for protectors. I also forgot that it didn't have a kickstand like my Thunderbolt. So today I walked in and bought their $29.99 Holster/Kickstand. I was told by the store rep that I could bring the case and protectors into the store for a credit.

I hear that a lot, "the phone has gorilla glass so it doesn't need a screen protector". My experience with gorilla glass is that it can and will scratch. Seems like every iPhone I see is scratched to crap. I guess its a bit stronger then normal glass but it's definitely not scratch proof.

It all depends upon the user. I had my DROID since drop day and never once scratched the glass. I used screen protectors for all of 3 weeks, then gave up on them.
I'm betting that I won't need them for the BIONIC either....
You can use the media dock with ext battery and hard case

The bionic fits in the media dock with out taking off the shell/holster combo case I bought from Verizon.
Hi Everyone...just received my case from Verizon...it's this one:
(d'oh...I'm a new user and it won't let me post links...it's the black one on the Verizon Wireless site that has the hole for the xperia logo and company name. Also it has the circles emanating from the logo)
Just wanted to say that I highly recommend it. It snaps on securely and actually makes the device look a bit cooler, with the back of the case accentuating the details of the phone (the SE logo, the controls, the camera). It feels like hard rubber and doesn't stick in my pocket (some of the early phone cases were hard to pull out of my pocket because they seemed to have static-cling with the innards of my pocket). It adds a bit of depth to the phone which actually makes it feel better when playing games.
The power button is a bit harder to press with the case on but I've adjusted to using my fingernail rather than my finger itself. Everything else works just as well.
I know some people are wondering which case to buy. This one is expensive, but I think it's worth it.
I also just got this case today and I would also recommend it. It was $25, but well worth it imo. Very good quality and looks the best of all the cases. It fits perfect and doesn't make the phone too bulky at all.
I was trying to decide between this case and the other one that Verizon offers but decided to go with this because like you said, the material won't collect lint and get caught up inside your pocket. Plus I liked how it had the cutout for the SE logo and Xperia.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...ryDetails&archetypeId=12635&accessoryId=47578
My local verizon store offers the same case with a semi clear orange plastic that looks great. I have to agree that this case feels superior to others I've tried.
Damn in in the UK. ..

lol! I must be the only person in the forums who HATES that type of "case". Its two pieces of a plastic shell that have sharp edges. I have that stupid case, it collects inordinate amounts of lint, I have to take it off frequently to clean my phone. Sadly, it also does nothing to protect the device. I guess to each his own, but I don't recommend it. It really takes away from the phones natural style. I may put it back on to reevaluate since I only used it for a day before peeling that crap off; but I'm looking at a picture as I write this and the same feelings of disgust are bubbling back up from the pit of my stomach... One can only hope someone will eventually develop a case for sliders that isn't 2 overpriced thin strips of plastic. Final thought, reminds me of the original XBox controller, and not the S type.
If you take a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015211 You'll see many reports of people who are quite happy with their case, even though they're very very cheap.
The verizon link is for customers only from here - could you please post some pictures or links to them. Thank you

There's this one as well, its a gel case, I'd prefer this as the gel ones seem a bit more durable than the hard ones in my experience

I would get one but I just got the extended battery and have a zagg shield over the other bits (which I would recommend but does affect the touch surface)
@wired84,
Uh mate, I think you got it wrong. They were asking about the Verizon case. What makes it so cool is the ripple effect and the Xperia being visible. Not just any hard case (or gel case).
Circle Case
Yes I am sure the case that is more expensive is better. I went cheap and got a crappy case that didn't last. The things that hold the case to the phone snapped off and now I'm left with 2 rubber flaps that fall off.
I also think gel cases are the best cases, however i would like a case which doesnt make the play a bigger brick than it already is..
+1 recommending Verizon case. Bought it with the money I saved buying the Play on sale, great case. Certainly better than the one they sold me for my old Droid.

This phone is solid yet fragile at the same time. I have hard cover snap on simply because I do not want to damage the back. Without a case it pretty much takes only one fall for the glass to crack.
My Nexus 4 is my most scratched phone (thanks to it's weak back glass) and the chrome borders are so soft you can even mark them with your nails...

Can you easily cough up another 350? Without, it's a fantastic piece of equipment to hold & admire.
Can you not? Buy a nice thin case and be extremely f**ng careful with it, chances are it will shatter when falling on to the wrong surface.
Now you can't say we didn't warn you.
I use the LG bumper case because it gives the phone protection and still looks like it is part of the phone. I also love that the buttons on the bumper feel exactly like the ones on the actual phone.
The big negative though, is the extra bulk. I could go without that but I'd rather have peace of mind knowing that if I drop the phone it at least stands some sort of a chance of surviving scratch free.
11 weeks of daily use and abuse yet not a single scratch and mine it's NAKED!
Don't know what others are doing with their phones but mine is holding up superbly.

I went for the Nillkin case cause of the back.
One day before I received it, my cat managed to throw my mobile down while charging.
Chrome Border has a slight dent on the left side, lucky the glass didn't shatter.
So, yes, a case is necessary

Naked, had the poetic bumper case but it was poor quality and fell apart. No scratches or dents with a lot of use
I've had mine since November 15 with no case or screen protector and so far I have a tiny scratch on the front that could only be seen with the keenest of eye sight. I think it was when I was salting my walk way and there must have been some salt residue on my fingers. As for the back there's a couple scratches that happened when I was entering a courthouse and I had to put my phone in one of those plastic trays before I went through a medal detector. I'm almost certain there was some kind of dirt dust in there that caused it. It was literally in the for 5 seconds. I actually considered that possibility and I was right. Overall I baby this thing.. Not counting the time in the plastic bin. I never lay it down on a surface without thinking of the consequences first. When I'm at my house I always put it on a winter hat or a sock or something. For one to protect it from scratches and also to avoid it sliding off on it's own. Don't get me wrong I love this phone, but compared to my Nexus S I feel like it's so fragile. That's why I just ordered an official bumper. To take some of the edge off while using it every day. I don't want to have to worry about it as much.

To all the people using it naked or with a bumper it's only a matter of time before we see your thread how it cracked in your pocket or best case you just scratch it up. I mean you guys do know that once you crack the front the phone stops working.

Also so that it does not break so I don't have to repair it. I was going to buy the bumper then realized with no case the back of my phone has a chance of cracking if I hit it against something while it's in my pocket.

SF Matte Black - Rearth Ringke SLIM for LG Google Nexus 4 Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case - ECO Package [Revised Version]
to protect the back/sides of it which is look like prone to be scratched and broken also protect the Camera lens, Plus good and nice grip.
so i can just put any where without the fear to break/scratch the back glass!.
I always use my phones naked, cases are big and screen protector makes the screen less fluid-like to swipe on.

Luckily the back glass (OEM) is easy to replace!

yep, thats why i have to go with otterbox... hoping lifeproof will kicka$$,,ordered the otterbox symmetry and the alpha otterglass,75$ is better than my godd$%#n phone cracked
I guess i was overconfident after watching all those drop test videos, anyways i ordered the replacement screen that was posted and will replace it myself which seems easy.
Usually never rock cases on my phones but when I heard this phone was gonna have a glass back and after owning an iPhone that had a cracked glass back due to a drop I ordered a case for my S6 when I got home from T-Mobile lol.
Got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on the phone. Slim, clear, cheap and offers a fair bit more protection. Not bulky at all like some of those otterbox cases which are just too much for me.

I'd check for a metal one if it happens again. My friend got one for his iPhone the second time he cracked it.

A metal back ? Where do they sell those lol.
Try to avoid too much metal on the case if you want good reception, also a metal case would pretty much nix wireless charging for you if you use that.
I don't know if the S6 is that different in terms of the wireless radio signal's penetrating power, but my iPhone 4's glass back was broken and replaced with a metal back piece and worked fine.

I think the bigger problem is that your screen is painted over in white and also has a camera/heart rate monitor in the middle of it. The back of your phone is not the screen!:good:

+1 Besides all that a hard plastic shell protects much better than metal. Ill never under stand the want for "premium" builds, they just crack, dent and conduct electricity better. I have seen more cracked and dented premium built iphones than all android phones put together. Seriously everybody I know who has a iphone has had a damaged iphone at one time. Im getting a case on this phone the second I get it which pretty much makes that premium build nothing but a bragging right. That is a stupid thing to brag about if you ask me.

It is called "glass." Corning did not break his phone. We're his phone made of normal glass, the results would have been worse.
Luckily, T-mobile forces you to get jump for the first month. You're out $175, but at least you can get a new phone.
The glass is very strong.
The problem with glass is the stronger you make it by tempering the more likely it will fail, sometimes explosively, when that "pent up" tension is suddenly released! How does it happen? All it takes is a strike or stress to the edge. Strikes to the face with blunt objects won't do it. It can take an incredible amount of abuse. So how do you prevent this from happening? A case, even a thin one, will work wonders. When it's dropped even a thin TPU will absorb this sharp shock that the glass would receive when struck on its edge. Of course a face down drop onto gravel allowing a stone to strike the glass on the edge will still cause it to break when it hits right. And Mister Murphy will ensure this just as a cat always lands on its feet...
Even a bumper will offer protection from edge impacts. Unfortunately you have to cover things up for a more rounded real life solution.
Sorry boutcha bro.. Case it up. I ordered the Case Mate clear case that T-Mobile has in store at $34.99 for $18 on Amazon. Got it today and its like its not even on, super thin and clear with metal buttons. I HIGHLY recommend it. At least it's SUPER EASY to replace the back cover, like 5 minutes if that..
