UK Solar Red pre-orders - HTC U11 Questions & Answers

Hi,
Has anyone in the UK pre-ordered the Solar Red from HTC UK?
Any shipping notifications? Any guidance? I see the US models are shipping now.
Thanks

Haven't ordered mine yet, still waiting for the refund for my Sapphire Blue.
Have seen a few replies from HTC_UK on Twitter, stating that the solar red starts shipping from the 10th July.
Source: https://twitter.com/HTC_UK/status/880414335595675649

My CC was just charged and order changed status to In Process, so Solar Red is/will be shipping soon in Europe.

How is it? Will you be using a crystal clear TPU Case or will you be hiding the looks and design of the smartphone?
Cheers

It's fantastic! Would be an absolute crime to cover up the rear with a non transparent case. I even feel the plastic case provided covers it too much as it has little dots on the back of the case.
Received a tpu clear case and screen protector today will update with photos soon.

Please do. I'm interested on the solar red color but I don't think I could use it without a case. Never had f
Glass back smartphones and don't use cases.

It's there any chance that HTC will sell Solar Red in a Single SIM version in UK\Europe?

doesn't seem like as even UK got dual SIM models, but why it matters? you can use dual SIM as single SIM + SD card and it's the same.

Does the dual sim have the same firmware as the single sim. Would you have a problem getting a copy of the original firmware (for warranty) or a replacement Custom ROM?

$90 USD, damn that expensive!! I cracked the glass on my battery cover, but there is nowhere in NZ that sells parts, and to courier is almost as much as buying a new phone!!!
The back covers are around 30 USD, They are such a terrible design, having to lever them off, of course the glass is going to crack.
I waiting for Ebay to start making some back covers for $5 free postage.

Thanks for the headsup - ordered a clear one. Will use in conjunction with my BestSkinEver full body skin
Nice one. I just ordered a clear one. Seeing as I already have a small scratch on the back of my phone.

thanks, ordered:good:
Ordered a clear one on sunday - has anyone received a case or screen protector off these guys does the screen protector fit . I ordered a screen protector from talklinesales last week off ebay and it was too small for the phone just had to send a picture off to these guys to show them how small it was obviously never test ftted to a nexus 4
Ordered a clear one yesterday as well as screen protectors. Paid for 1st class delivery. Hoping to get it tomorrow because I'm scared that my screen will get scratched or I'll drop the phone.
When one of you gets the clear one can you post a pic of what it looks like. I ordered the grey one, but might get a clear one if they look ok

Yep, and me. Ordered a clear one sunday night. Dispatched yesterday and paid for 1st class so was hoping it would arrive today
Ordered me one as well. Hope it's good. Should replace the slip case I ordered when it comes tomorrow
Like many eBay sellers I fear they mark the items as dispatched when they haven't been dispstched yet. Gives the impression they are efficient when they are not, and makes the buyer think its royal mail that's being slow. I have 1seller I have bought off many times where I have received it next day every time, where as others have taken up to 4 days to get to me 1st class, despite getting a dispatch mail the same day I ordered.

Quite possibly correct.
Often tried to check the package for a posting date stamp etc from RM
I've ordered one too, and they definitely mark as despatched before sending, as I ordered at 22:39 on Monday and the dispatch email arrived at 04:09.
Hopefully it's not a Chinese company pretending to be in the UK.
I ordered some screen protectors on 16/11 and a case on 18/11 from this seller and haven't got either yet, took 1st class on both. I am prettry sure I have had something off them before and they deff ship from the UK, just one of those sellers that takes 3-4 working days to get to you even though you took 1st class, not a problem really but I just need to get a case on this bad boy, coz I'm getting bored treating it with kid gloves all the time and I have somehow already managed to scratch the rear screen protector despite this!

Hemp Case

I returned the Samsung smart cover (because of the magnet thing) and ordered...
This case (in Carbon Black) from Amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00EDK87EO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
They have Cocoa Brown: http://www.amazon.ca/Cover-Up-Samsu...9132&sr=1-2&keywords=Hemp+Cover+Case+note+8.0
And Khaki Green: http://www.amazon.ca/Cover-Up-Samsu...9132&sr=1-3&keywords=Hemp+Cover+Case+note+8.0
I liked other colors too.. it was a tough choice
What do you guys think? I'm still waiting on shipment. I don't know why but their shipping takes like 30 days to Canada.
I'll post review when I get it in few weeks if anyone is interested.

i have not had any issues with the magnet with the official book cover, it seems to be more of an issue with 3rd party cases
what magnet thing are you talking about?
Khaki Green will be ok to me. 30 days to Canada? My god!!!!Where did it ship from. I don't want to wait such along time.

I too haven't had any issues with my Note 10.1 with the official samsung magnet case. Used it for around 5-6 months before I traded it in for Note 8. I only found out about how magnet screws with the S-pen (I've seen some pics in some xda thread) after I purchased the Note 8 and the samsung case. I just returned it because I rather be safe than sorry a year or so later and another reason was I never really liked it. So I searched amazon

I actually liked that cover color but for me it was too green inside.. I just went with black.. pretty dull but the hemp texture looks really good. I'm not sure where it ships from, maybe china? It didn't even give me tracking number
Actually I checked their seller profile. It's located Canada. I wonder why they take so long ...
Don't buy. What a piece of **** and waste of money. I ordered Otterbox Defender from NCIX.com
Right now on sale for under $50.

I originally ordered a silver one but changed my mind and asked the seller to change it to black. I don't know if the seller got the message in time before shipping it so I'll get either one Which is fine because I'm 50/50 on which one I want.
ordered a chrome black!

Thanks for pointing this one out.
I am a bit suspicious of the ebay seller you listed because of the price. The retail is $25 and they are selling it for $9? That's too good a deal. Will be very interested to see what you get. If it's good maybe I'll pickup one, just don't tell my wife... I only have 5 cases, need an even half dozen.

i just saw this sentence on that ebay seller which we ordered...
"We are an authorized reseller of genuine Pinlo accessories. For verification, contact pinlo.com. "
if its fake, we can file a complain?
cuz he is selling at $10 whereas the original is $25.
something is fishy...

Ummm... They all say that. Including the other guy that selling it for $9.29
I guess that does mean you can get you money back if it isn't a real one? It won't be as described.

I bought a cheep bumper (not the same one) and I was very disappointed to realize the camera still sticks out far enough to get scratched whe I lay it on its back.
Please let us know in your review if it allows the camera bezel/lense cover to contact the surface of whatever it is laying on.
Thanks for posting OP! Looks nice.

FYI, most aftermarket back covers have a very small lip on it to protect the camera lens. It's really small <1mm but it's there:

I did the same thing. I'm hoping mine gets delivered by next week. I don't think I've been this excited about a case in awhile.
*edit*
Forgot to mention my only concern is that not all TPU button covers work good. I've had some cheap TPU cases where the buttons were so horrible the case was not usable.
If i had to guess, the buttons on this case look plastic like the ones on the SGP Neo Hybrid. If you watch the Youtube video you can see the inside of the buttons. Usually the problem with plastic buttons is over-responsiveness if anything.

Incipio DualPro Shine case

Saw this pop up and bought one. Had the same brand/model case for my Xperia Z Ultra and it was very nice and great quality. It was the case I ended up using until I sold the phone.
I think I paid around 20 for the xperia version on Amazon... This was a little more but I wanted a case to be here in time for when I get the phone Friday. Samsung is terrible with releasing accessories on time. Who knows when the wallet will be available in the US without waiting for long shipping times from Korea.

Got mine off of eBay
ya I got the light gray as well not a big fan of the color but really hated the cheap look and feel of the case mate that att had and despise with a passion the flip wallet. So far I really like the case and doesnt impede on the edge use, fingerprint scanner, or heart rate monitor on the back. I am taking my truck in for minor body work and was going to see if they could spray the case same color as my truck when they paint it.

Great find. I love holsters too
It just so happened that i still had a Note 2 Otterbox in my closet. You know how you buy a phone and buy the ridiculous over priced case and when the next big thing comes out you buy it and your stuck with that case? Well i have owned every note except for the one to include the Note 4 which my wife got when i got the edge today. I just trying out all my old holsters to see if one would fit and lucky me. I cant imagine that they are even that expensive if you can come accross one on ebay or what have you.

I miss my holster but you know what? I tried out My Seidio Surface Holster from my Note 3 last night and it fits the naked edge perfectly. It is not the spring clip holster model its is the SURFACE case holster model. You have to place the phone upside down because of the power button but it is secure. Seidio has the best cases out there. My note 3 when skidding across the parking lot 60 feet! Not a ding on the case or phone.
Is it possible to get a ccouple of pics? I had my wife snap a couple of mine and send them to me via text. I know some people may only have one phone.

Here you go.... You see a gap but the phone does not wiggle at all. You have to use it upside down but it is no big deal.
