Commuter is meant to be used by commuter with thumbs. The shell protects against minor bumps and dust. The screen protector is not integrated in the shell, instead it will come with a thin transparent protection that you paste directly on the screen (do not drop it, more on that later).
shell gray and white color combination is to survive, even if you happen to be gifted with taste. The design is certainly not garish but it still is with a heavy heart that man hides forms and details on such a beautiful phone that HTC One.
white part is hard plastic, the “inner” gray part is thick rubber. It is the only part (in addition to the screen protector), doors that cover the headphone jack and micro USB port is located in a portion of the rubber shell body.
As I mentioned earlier, be careful with the screen protector. It is covered by two layers of protective plastic that you pull off the small tabs. The idea is to first remove the bottom to expose the sticky part and then when it is the right place to pull off the top layer. I must admit that I screwed up and lost it when I had to fix it on the screen, and guess where it ended up with sticky side down on the ground. After that it was like the score pretty much gone, although it was still possible to paste on, it was impossible to remove dust particles and dirt that had stuck. The only thing they did was to take small unsightly streaks with nails in glue.
fadäsen I put on but the fact that the erosion of the headphone jack is too low when using a right-angle 3.5mm headphone jack (which, among other things, that certain Beats kids use on one cable end) so is not good. Either it sticks straight out from the screen or turn it to the right or left and loses one of the audio channels to contact then not quite reach all the way down.
shell does the handset slightly thicker and heavier, but it’s not a big problem. The volume control works well even though it is covered by the rubber, and the power button (on One also doubles as infrared light) is not affected since it is not covered. The same applies luckily even cameras, LED lights, microphones and speakers.
The overall fit is fine, the rubber part that sits around the edge is in itself not molded but notice only of if you start pulling and fiddling there. The shell provides some protection when disaster strikes can make a difference, but the question remains, is it worth hiding Ones sleek design for a shell that does not guarantee protection against either a tap from a height or water? Not according to me.
