Ok so I lost my battery cover in a bar =/ , I looked around and found this expansys thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3005813
I wasn't sure about expansys and they charge a fortune for Canada shipping. Anyhow I kept looking and just found that:
http://www.msgdigital.com/productdetail.asp?productid=46908
So it's a bit cheaper, shipping to canada is cheaper (still an expensive lost for a freakin cover! )
I am on the pre-order and I am using my old Htc Excalibur in the mean time.
I will update the thread to let people know about my experience since I know it's a pretty popular item with the fuze owner and some people are sick of expansys!
Pre-ordered. Hope they don't pull an Expansys...
Someone that has good skills in painting might want to take a look at this site and set something for fellow XDA members to maybe save money and not give the money to expansuck.

I was thinking of that kind of painting when I started to get pissed off of the finger dust on my Fuze... thanks for the info... now i know which paint I'm looking at.
As for the expansys (expensive) case, i got my pre-ordered for $15 (shipping to Canada is way too expensive, so I've asked a friend to do me a favor and ship it to me)
The shipping cost from expansys to Canada is exaggerating (we're talking about $30 for the case + $20 for shipping).... It's stupid. I asked my friend to buy me a $2 bubble envelop and ship it with a stamp
I don't know why people on XDA promote expansys so much, their products are expensive... the service is so so and international shipping is just stupid.
Got an email from msdigital today apologizing for the delay and confirmed a 1/20 ship date. Get bent, Expansys.
Hey what about me!
Lol, still good news
Did you end up getting these? Still says no date on website

This cover is for the Extended 1800mah OEM battery.
I got this one as well, the device is pretty thick and massive. Battery last a good two days with this one compared to a little over a day with the regular one.

See this thread, I presonally got it of eBay with the battery, because alone its useless, the regular battery wont touch the cover and it might move/disconnect

I'll update: I ordered one from msgdigital.com and it arrived quickly. It is great! I love it better than the glossy, especially since I had accidentally scratched the back of my original Fuze battery cover...
I had no problems from MSGDigital.com. Just wanted to post that in light of the problems people had with expansys...
ok so I see you guys are looking for cases and what not, if your just looking to get a better color for your battery cover (black would be my choice) you guys could dye it yourselves without having to spend much money at all, everything you need should be under $2 and it will only take about 20 minutes to do.
All you have to do is go to your local Wal-Mart and buy some RIT dye, the powder kind, then get a pot with water and heat it up enough that it would burn if you stuck your finger in there but not so much that its boiling, then mix the dye in there and sumberge your battery cover completely in there, you don't have to worry about covering or removing the camera lense cover or anything, the dye shouldn't stick to that part of the battery cover and it shouldn't stick to the inside of your battery cover because of the type of material. You should stir the pot with your battery cover in it for 15 minutes then take it out and rinse it under water until all the extra dye has come off. You now should have a black battery cover that looks like it came that color stock. There are some pictures and success stories and basically a run down of what I just said in a thread over at PPC Geeks which is where I usually linger around.
Heres the link, pics and all should be on the first post.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46487
Well I finally received mine and it turns out that I don't like it. Nothing wrong with it just spoiled by my IS cover. I will sell mine ( just arrived today) for what I have into it so the first $29 + shipping gets it. Payment is through paypal but I will only ship to a paypal CONFIRMED adress. PM if interested.
Maybe a picture to help understanding what we are looking at here?
Here, these are not mine but you get the point.
where did you get the new covers from?
thats really cool. where did you get it?? i dont always wanna use the nice looking back. ie when im at school or work...
RebelShadow probably got it from Expansys like the rest of us. I also contemplate selling mine as I already have the Seidio case + the OEM 1800 battery that came with a different back. (not meaning to hJ the thread).
mine took nearly 2 months to get to me from Expansys so if you are looking to pick one of these up im sure this will be much much faster.
I'm am selling just the one cover and not many. I ordered it from Expansys almost 2 months ago and just received it but as I said I like the feel of my IS cover better. If someone wants the cover but does not want to wait the couple of months to receive it from Expansys here's your chance.
Thanks your look y'all but the cover is sold!

Rebel,
Hope you don't mind me tagging on your thread now yours is sold, I don't want to start another thread.
I am selling mine (new) if someone is interested, please PM me. I bought this from Expansys around the time I bought the OEM 1800 cell + Seidio case, so I really don't have a need to use this rubberized back between alternating with the Seidio and extended cell that comes with its own back.

Hi there,
Probably hundreds of other threads similar to this one, however I would like to share my experience with the HTC One and also how I actually got my hands on one today!!! (Sunday 24th March)
Let's start with how I actually got my phone, which is the advice I'd like to give. Me and my mother decided to take a trip to Manchester as I hadn't bought her a mothers day present. We got to Manchester, and started having a look about when I found myself in the Phones4U shop in the Arndale Centre. (ground floor as there are multiple stores, near the Apple & Vodafone Store) I just happened to see the One, and I picked it up and immediately fell in love with it! I asked the sales guy if they had any in and he just replied 'Yes'. After speaking to his manager he said I could buy it Pay as You Go for £489! I was shocked as it is £529 from ALL retailers online and also, it isn't even shipping yet! Anyway, I ended up buying the phone and my Mum paid for her own present don't worry, I'll pay her when I trade my iPhone 5 in! :laugh: SEE THE ATTACHMENT
Anyway, as far as first impressions go, my iPhone 5 now feels FAT after using the HTC One. The only issue that I have had with it, is mine is getting incredibly warm. However right now it's on charge, and now is the only time I have noticed the heat so I'm putting it down to the first charge. It's been a while since I was on Android, so I'm glad to be back in the game.
Any advice on screen protects would be greatly appreciated, heard the actual HTC ones are a little expensive for what they are, anyway thanks!
Mike

Nice! Good to hear that they aren't as hard to come by as one would think. Maybe it bodes well for online outlets and may in fact have them in stock and were told to hold them for release until 25. At least I am hoping.
For screen protector. I took a plunge and backed these guys on kickstarter.

Do they even do these for the HTC One? It's not listed.
Also, how can they do a front and back for iPhone? The back of iPhone 5 is textured so not sure how they will stick!

Thanks for the replies. In regards to the Rhino Shield on the iPhone that someone mentioned, it would indeed stick to the back. The only thing that put me off buying my HTC One was the fact that I'd spent £25 at Carphone Warehouse UK getting a Zagg Screen Protector and having it fitted on both sides.

My One is Sim-Free and 4G Ready in the UK. I was shocked because it's £529 online everywhere.
Ok, so maybe there was no murder involved.
My phone fell and the screen cracked. I found a new screen on Ebay for $86 and it shipped from California. The screen came and I replaced the old one with no issues. I turn it all back on and I can't swipe down the notification tray. I tried hard resetting the phone, but no luck. After looking around online I figured the most likely culprit was the digitizer had gone bad in that area of the screen.
I contacted the seller on Ebay and he seemed more than happy to refund the price once I send it back. However, his return address is in China, not the California address the screen shipped from. Since I'm responsible for the return cost the cheapest I found was $44. That's half the price of the screen and doesn't seem worth the hassle in case another issue pops up.
So my questions are two fold. Does anyone know any other problem that might be causing this? Also any advice on any recourse I might have? Ebay's policy is pretty clear, if I ship it back I can get a refund plus original shipping cost (which was free in this case).

Try using that part of the screen for something else but swiping down the notification bar? Install solitaire and see if it, while playing in landscape, registers any touches over there.
I can't help with your shipping. But I know how expensive international mail can be, as I had to get my nexus from overseas... I feel ya!
What shipping information did you use to get that price.? Was it FedEx/ups? USPS said about 24 if you use the priority mail international small flat rate box. And it was about 10 if you used regular mail

If I rotate the screen sideways I'm able to pull down the notification tray. It seems like just the very edge of the top doesn't work.

Don't return it if seller does not pay return shipping cost. Call your bank file a chargeback get your money. LG replaces the screen for $100.
Well the seller got back to me and said if I send them $8 to cover shipping they'll just send me another screen and I don't even have to send the old one back.
sounds like a caring seller
That's good the seller will send you another screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
how do you think, this part is oryginal even if it;s from china? it's gorilla glass?
sounds like one of those sellers with friends in the US just so they can show up as a "us only seller". If it were me I'd probably ship it back certified to the return address in California then file a complaint with paypal (depending on how you paid but if it's ebay it's almost always paypal), with the tracking/certified number as proof of return shipping. And surely there must be something again'st ebay's policy about changing the location all the sudden.
I placed a pre-order from tropical_mobile on eBay since I decided the H815 model was the best choice overall, for me. They offered two day shipping as well, so it was sort of a no brainer at that point. I paid a few pennies shy of $700, but they have since significantly dropped the price down to $630, so your patience will be rewarded if you decided to wait! As their listing states, it comes with some goodies, and I thought I may as well post a few pics of said goodies in case anyone was wondering.
There is no extra back piece included. Just thought I'd get that out of the way in case anyone was wondering. It only comes with the back that you ordered. In my case, that's the black leather - and I love it!
I'm a bit peeved that I could've saved $70 by waiting a few days, but I'm one impatient as hell sonofabitch, so I'll just deal with it haha.
Enjoy!

Ordered mine sunday, received it this afternoon. What an awesome service. Red leather and it looks STUNNING in person. Im super happy. That seller is great.
I paid $646 for mine and very next day it was dropped to $629. No biggie at all cause a si said, the phone came faster than expected

I ordered from them as well. Mine had a tracking number issued but sat for 3 days saying label created. After emailing them it magically moved (could be coincidence) and is now on plane for delivery tomorrow. Ordered at $646 for non leather back and saw it dropped: no biggie as I signed for PayPal credit to finance over 6 months. If I don't like it, Swappa here it comes!

i did get a pretty generic gray adapter from them. Seems its the same most ebay phone sellers supply.
Why even include all that extra garbage? I will just throw all that extra trash away. They should have included an extra that is actually worth something, like an extra back cover or an extra battery.
I ordered a brown leather G4 from them last night by the way for $629. Already got a Fedex notification that it should be here tomorrow morning. Said something about Singapore. Crazy if it ships from there in a day and a half.

Go naked. The screen is curved a little so even if you set it face down, the screen won't be touching and won't get scratched.
I picked up one from them as well, red leather.
I paid $674 on Saturday, they sent me a tracking number on Monday, and the phone arrived this morning in good working order.
So far, I think this is an awesome phone, and although I could have saved a few bucks by not being impatient, it was worth the 674 to me at the time, so it's hard to say I got hosed.
Either way, great seller, hopefully I won't be using them for a long time!
