Arrow Finally Looking To Settle This Case Issue

Hello, pretty new to this forum, but just wanted to thank everyone for the help in advance. I know there are similar threads and there is a master thread for cases, but I've looked though most of it and was unable to find a solid answer.

Basically, I am looking for a semi transulent thin case for the HTC One XL (US Version) that provides a lip for camera protection. I have found some interesting models online, but I am unable to figure out if they would be comptabile with the US version. If anyone could link me or provide insight on the fit to the US model that would be great.

I have listed below a few names of possible cases that I need verification on for fit to US version.

Nillkin Hard Cover Case (White)
HTC HC C700 Ultra Thin Hard Shell Case (Clear) <--- Would be my favorite option, but most concerned about fit
BENKS Magic Cookies <--- Looking for a place to buy this, but also concerned about fit

Once again, I understand that there are similar threads, but this thread is mainly concerned with the fit to the US version of the HTC One X.

Thanks again.

My wife and I both use this case: http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-S-Line-Ba...m/B007WGFNHU/2

It fits the US version perfect for me. Provides a lip for the camera, translucent/clear and really shows off the phone, good grip on the sides, and it provides enough protection for small drops. My only negative would be the power button was a little hard to press on mine at first but it's fine now and wasn't ever an issue on my wife's.

I'm glad you started this thread because that is exactly the situation I'm in. I wouldn't want the tpu case posted above though because those clear tpu cases have always yellowed very quickly for me. I'd prefer what you described in a non-yellowing clear or translucent hard case with a tiny lip on the front to protect the screen when placed screen down.

That being said I still just ordered one of those TPU cases from Amazon since they're having a 60% off sale right. I figured for 3 bucks and change including shipping it would be worth a shot.

Use coupon code onexsale at checkout if you're interested.

I've had mine since day one and hasn't yellowed at all. I do notice a slight blue since its in my pocket most of the time but my wife's still looks completely clear.

I actually ordered the TPU case that you linked to, but I am still interested in a hard back case. If anyone has any ideas that would be great.

For the benks case, it seems like a perfect fit for our HOX:

What he said

I think people make a big deal about the size difference. 0.42mm longer is barely any difference, and it's length which most cases don't cover.

I think the only problem case wise you'll find is with cases with pogo pin cutouts, they won't align. Other than that you'll mostly be fine. (opinion)
