Has anyone actually confirmed the revision is for the power button?
Good question.... Guess I never really thought that could be the case. Everything else on the case is perfect.

They are revising the design and shipping the new style out may 13th. Not sure about people who already got it, a replacement maybe?

Hey folks, sorry I stepped away from this thread for a while... as I've been tracking another on AndroidCentral that provides a lot of pics/info on a variety of cases. I now have both the Poetic Atmosphere case and the Borderline Bumper case and am happy to share my feedback here. Both are version 1 and cover the IR blaster/power button, but Poetic has stated that they will send everyone who has already bought one an updated version of the non-IR blocking case for free in mid-May. :good:
I'll split this into two separate posts so I can include all the pics I have.
Atmosphere Case
The Atmosphere case is VERY tight fitting and pretty darn hard to get off once it's on. The plastic is fairly transparent, so the details of the phone show through very well. It's just too bad that the shiny edge of the phone is covered up as that is one of its sexiest parts. Also note that the sides are clear so the white edges show through as well. As for the revised version shipping in May, I suspect they will take the cutout design used for the data port and use it for the power button. It will probably result in having to press the button by reaching from the back side, but that's pretty natural when holding it in your hand. Overall I'm very pleased with this case and impressed by its quality and rigidity. I'll probably end up using it instead of the Borderline Bumper case, as explained in the next post.
Great write up and agree, this is a great case! I actually took an x-acto to the power button, I couldn't take it any longer. I could careless about the IR but that button is CRAZY hard to actuate. If they do the same cutout as the data port it'll be perfect. I figured, if I'm getting a new case, I might as well make this one work for the next month!
Thanks again for the write up and pictures.
Yep, it's covered. I don't have the phone yet, but the case arrived today and the power button is NOT clear or see-thru. For $10 on amazon, I figure it is still an OK deal. I also ordered the Borderline Bumper case, but it hasn't arrived yet.
I've attached some pics, so see for yourself.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for your order for Poetic Borderline Bumper case for HTC One M7.We are aware the issue for IR Blaster Being blocked on our earlier Version. Unfortunately it requires us much more time to fix this issue. We will not being able to ship out update version until the end of May. Because of this long wait, we decide to cancel your orders. If you need this case again, you can re-order it once it is available. Or you can order some other cases from Poetic by Searching “Poetic HTC ONE M7” on Amazon.com
We apologized for any inconvenience caused you. Thank you for your understanding in advanced.
I tried to post it but was rejected cause I have too few posts. It's easy to find with thread title "Cases for the HTC One" on the androidcentral forums. Let's see if this works, though...

Uh oh... just got a message from Exact-Deal on Amazon (Poetic's Amazon store), and they said the following:
I'm guessing they will be issuing refunds, then... but I haven't heard back yet to confirm. I also see that the Borderline Bumper case is no longer available on Amazon or listed on the Poetic website... must be a hefty redesign! There was no mention of the Atmosphere case, so I'm guessing it's still on track to ship on May 13.
Have you "previously" received a case? I know they actually canceled my first order for both an Atmosphere and Borderline case that I placed as soon as they would take pre-orders. I think it was canceled automatically because their system doesn't allow a pre/backorder to sit for more than a month unfilled. I did reorder and got the new case which is a rev1 case and will be replaced whenever they get the new revision done.
Yes I've received both the Atmosphere and Borderline Bumper case, as seen in my previous posts and photos.
Does this cancellation just apply to the Borderline Bumper case? Will I receive a refund? Before you guys said you would send the updated ones out at no cost, but if I have to reorder it, wouldn't that require me to pay for it again?
Yes, we are no longer release Update version for Poetic Bumper case for HTC One M7. So you can keep the ones that you received. But not expecting update version for bumper case.
Atmosphere case have no problem. We are going to have update version of Atmosphere for HTC One M 7 around May 13th. If you received the previous version, we will ship you update version around that time automatically without needing to contact us .
Hmm... I heard back from Exact-Deal...
My message to them
Their response to me:
He didn't acknowledge my question on the refund... might have to bust out the x-acto knife after all. I guess if needed I can file a claim via Amazon.
