Accessories HTC ONE accessories (discussion, user reviews)

Saw a review of that case. Looks and feels great but fails for one simple reason. The flap does not stay closed as there are no magnets to hold it down. HTC WTF.

I did find it strange that there was no magnets, I've done a few drop tests on the bed from shoulder height and it didn't open once.

Spoiler

If you mean the clips that hold the phone then yeah they just go around the edges but hold it quite securely.

This is it without anything in.

This what it looks like closed.

From the side.

Oh okay, cool. Thanks, I didn't realize it was a flip case

 

[Aokusman]

Mine stays closed fine when i use it, ok, it didn't on the first day of use, but after a little use it stays closed fine.

Or do you actually mean being held closed as opposed to just staying closed when laying flat?

Yeah being held closed by a magnetic system that guarantees it stays flat when closed.

Ordered this case on eBay.

Had a few people saying they can't hear me very well when the case is on, I've used a pin to widen the hole where the Mic is, see if that helps or it's the bin for this case...

Just an FYI for everyone wondering if the One supports OTG out of the box. I just read through the User Manual and grabbed this little tidbit:
"USB storage- When you plug in an external USB storage device (such as a USB flash
drive or an SD card reader), you can view photos and videos stored on the device right from Gallery and play songs stored on the device in Music. You can also open PDFs and edit Office documents. You need a USB On-The-Go micro cable adapter to connect HTC One and a USB storage device. HTC One supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB."

a review or two have already verified this. this will also make it easier to swallow for those who wish they had 64gb of storage as now they can purchase a card reader or OTG adapter and attach an sd card. win-win for everyone...

I had the wife saying the same thing to me the first time she rang me and i was using the free flip case i got with mine.

It wasn't until later (after much crapping myself that the phone was useless) that i realised the hole for the mic was totally covering the mic itself!

Needless to say, i don't bother with the flip case now, unless i'm likely to be watching a movie on nights at work.

I wouldn't mind but it's a genuine HTC Case, I paid

I've always used Diztronic TPU cases. They are precision made and work very nicely. I just ordered one for the HTC one.

Received this today. Pretty speedy shipping after placing the order Saturday.

Now I just need the phone.

Just grabbed this desktop charger.

Does it have an adapter,to accommodate a phone w/a case?
It appears to,from the pix available.

 

[marctronixx]

Yes there is an adapter. Should be able to use slim cases but probably not cases like otterbox...

Good to know. I ordered from them on Sunday and it already shipped. I have the otterbox commuter case but never figured it would work with any Dock.

 

[marctronixx]

Cool. Well you can verify if your case will work or not.

I sorta made a promise to myself that I wasn't gonna go all-out accessory-wise w/this phone,as I rarely used my last three docks for various phones,but,@$19.99,I may have to reconsider.
Especially since the photos suggest that you can use it in either portrait,or,landscape mode.

I am definitely taking a pass on the HD Media Adapter,as I used a similar accessory w/my SGS3 a grand total of 1 time.:egg:

I'm a painter for the school district, I pretty much have to have at least a commuter style case or my phones would get trashed. The otterbox covers the charging port making a Dock pretty much out of the question (even if it did fit).

I may try just a clear TPU case and the dock combo on lighter duty days and weekends.

 

[marctronixx]

The media adapter is left over stock from last year. They didn't sell like htc hoped so they are giving these things away. It's not worth purchasing outright but people like getting gimmicks for free.

I've had the media adapter nearly a year and I've not used it other than to test it. Most people will use it a few times but will forget it quickly...

 

[BillyODU]

Just got two of the poetic atmosphere cases with 3 war warrenties. couldn't pass up that deal, plus they are seethrough.

I am looking for some good chargers and rugged cases I can get without spending 50 bucks for an ottorbox

 

[JimKnuckles]

I went ahead and ordered the zagg full body. I will probably just use the back part of it. These screens are damn near impossible to scratch these days. Ill post once I get it.



I hate cases too. Especially for this phone. Who would want to hide that beautiful design? I see lots of thin clear cases but I'm going with the zagg full body. I imagine that that aluminum will start to wear and scratch over time of putting it down and picking it up off of different surfaces

just got my notice that my full body invisibleshield shipped today. Should have it when I get the phone Friday. Way to go Zagg

I also picked up the Punked Commuter otterbox for 23 bucks yesterday, shipped today. That puts me and my fiancee at 11 cases....

It may be time for an intervention....

Is there a 12 step?

 

[Fine69]

Every screen protector I have tried to put on comes out with bubbles and doesn't line up well.

I may have missed it but is there a home dock for the ONE yet? It would be nice to put it somewhere and safe not to mention I used it as an alarm clock.
