Phone getting dirty

[baygacon]

That was my concern when reading that it had a soft-touch coating. I ended up ordering a black one with the idea of getting original cases in other colors. I have one in Cali Blue from HTC and it looks great and it's wonderfully fitted to the phone. Hopefully they will make other colors available soon.

Post pics and let us how the cleaning went.

Do you have a link to this case? Thanks

Any staining to plastic is probably water related. Do you guys have sweaty palms or live in a humid or rainy area? Wet pockets will do that to any an soft touch case or in this case, phone.

Either way, I am terrified and will be getting that double shot case or a tpu case that will cover the corners. LOL

I've only had my phone for a week now but I take in and out of my pockets pretty often and it looks the same as it did when I took it out of the box.

Mine didn't clean up. I have sent back to retailer to be replaced by the black version.

I have the same issues on the corners, did the retailer accept this as a good enough reason? I thought they might kick up a fuss. Were you on contract or PAYG?

And I think socialcarpet meant that it wasn't the actual polycarbonate getting dirty, but rather the soft-touch coating.

Yup, this.

It's the soft touch rubberized coating getting dirty. The polycarbonate is the hard stuff underneath that coating.

Here's the link to the one I bought: HTC 8X HC C810 Doubleshot Hard Shell | HTC 8X Accessories

Sadly, the blue is the only one I have found so far. I would love to buy one in black to match my 8X.

Photos added into first post. I bought a sleeve case for phone after it already started getting dirty. I will probably end up getting the double shock case too. 24 months is a lot of time to get dirty!

Thanks! Are you happy with the case? I really love the feel of the 8X and really didn't want to put a case on it but I might not have a choice!

I've been more than happy with it. You will be surprised on how wonderfully fit this case is. It is perhaps one of the most fittest I've seen on a phone (I have had to tell my friends that my 8X has a case because they didn't notice at first!) and the material is a blend of hard plastic and rubber which adds an awesome feel to it. I can't recommend it enough.

The only issue so far is color options as blue is the only one I've been able to find.

Not an issue when you have a blue phone.

My plan is to try find a method to clean my dirty phone, then get the double shock case from pay day.

As soon as I picked my phone up I was a bit concerned it would get dirty. I've picked one of the cases up so it should curtail demise of the blueness. Its not arrived yet but this place is doing it for a good price

Ajua any chance you could post a couple of pics of the phone with the case on etc. I normally hate cases but if its nice I might have to with the dirty problem

You would've put a zagg full body invisible shield since day one , i did it on my lumia 920 and my phone is the matte black. Don't trust everything the companies says when releasing . Remember they just want to sell. If you get to clean it, try that.

Im using the bodyglove case got it from the tmobile store I tend to drop things so I got a case right away for this phone since im paying and arm and a leg for it

My double shock case should be here tomorrow. Pics to come then unless someone does it first

Here some photos of my phone with the HTC Doubleshot Hard Shell. These were rushed and taken with my NEX-5N, which I'm still trying to master, so if you find them poorly shot, I will take more once the sun comes up and with better lightning

The color of the case match the California Blue, even though it looks darker on these photos because of the lightning.

Notice how great the case fits the rounded corners and the overall shape of the phone. Also, the side shot shows the cover for the buttons (the USB connector and the headphone jack are cutout or uncovered).

Great, thanks! At least I know what to expect when I get mine. However I wish the HTC logo was metallic, and Beats logo was there too. But that is just me being picky. Got mine from ?13.98 including delivery to my door. The official HTC Accessory site is charging ?17.99 even before delivery charges are applied. Rip off!

No problem with the black one!
