Can the hair/dust that accumulates be blown out with pressurized air (for keyboards) so that I won't have to remove the case?

Wouldnt recommend the product. It has two big holes on front for speakers. Camer is open. And lock button. I am working on a construction site, so phone got messed up big time. Griffin survivor series is a lot better protection for you phone. I just don't know do they make it for htc one. Only thing I liked on otter box is the belt clip.

I've only had my screen on for a short time, I couldn't get dust, hair, debris out no matter what I did. I found it easier to just remove the cheap 'protector', it helped with the response on my phone as well. You can always put it back on, as it's attached with cheap hot glue.

It's possible if you haven't applied a peel-off screen protector like I have under the otter box clear plastic protector. With the additional peel-off screen protector, the fit is a bit tighter, and if you don't carry your phone in your pocket, you'll have less tendency to gather hair/dust under the OB screen protector. I'm not sure it would work without the peel-off protector because I haven't tried blowing it out yet. Sorry I can't fully answer your question.

I did not know the answer to this an hour ago. But while I was at work I tested that. And sadly no it will not take dust out. But even tho the dust dose not come out, it makes up for it when you drop your phone. Some guys at work wanted to test my case. So I kicked my phone down the hallway it bounced and slid. And I picked it up without a scratch on it.

Jason the dust and hair that accumulates doesn't come very fast what i do is every three months or so i open it up and wash the entire case with an alcohol swab that cleans it thoroughly. and its good for a few more months. also you might consider just not using the screen and popping it out. I recently found out that our phone is made with gorilla glass which is virtually shatterproof. i also read a story where the htc one stopped a bullet from killing a guy due to the glass and casing. for my phone i removed the screen protector and am just using the case for scratches.

Yeah, no problem. But I recommend removing everything on occassions just to wipe down and clean thoroughly. Get corners and crevices.

I do not experience such thing, but then I rarely open the hard case off my laptop, so it would not allow any debris to come in between. I have used it for a year, and it is still going strong.

I have not had to do that yet ,you may have to unscrew the case. Might try a vacuum with an appliance nozzle. It's very narrow. some of these have triangle head screws in them,not a common screw.

The keyboard is integrated into the case itself. It is not removable from the case.

It doesn't seem to get a lot of dust I use the aerosol can that you use to clean your computer keyboard with to blow the rest

Short answer, No. Now what I did is purchase the silverstone magnetic 120mm filters and placed them over the fans, I also have added a fan to the bottom of the case and removed the top large fan in place for a 240mm rad and installed 3 120mm fans there, all my fans blow into the case, with filters, and this causes the case to be pressurized, so air flows out of all the other little cracks, crevices, vents, and perforated metal, that keeps the dust out. I clean off the filters with my regular floor vacuum about once a week while I am vacuuming the floors.

It depends on how you use the case. I noticed that dust collects inside when I use headphones with an oversized jack (pulls the case away from the back of the iphone)

I wouldn't at the top of a case. They're fine on the sides. But if you blow them out the top the bearings are terrible and the fans will vibrate immensely.

I own this case and have also owned many cases with and without mesh/glass/tons-of-air-holes. This case will let more fan noise out but it really isn't that bad. I run 3 graphics cards inside my case (2 in a Sli, one for more monitors). If you can handle the subtle hum of fans then you'll be okay. A case without the mesh and is of solid material or some type of glass on the side will reduce the fan noise you hear. There are also many ways to reduce the fan speed on your video card when it is under heavy load, but you sacrifice its cooling. I'd also like to continue saying that I really like this case! If you have any more questions about this case I'll do my best to answer and I'll reply asap!

you wouldnt ruin the case, you just have to remove the whole case from RT..which I found it a hassle..

If you have a source of compressed air you can blow it clean. It's not really made to be taken apart and wiped clean.

Lift the edges of thee case up a little where the air bubbles are forming! :) try to flatten it a bit if you know what I mean

i don't think that is an issue. the case goes on and off with just a snap. i have had mind for a while and it has served me very well. note i have not had occasion to remove my case from the computer but again it appears it should not be that hard or damaging.

Yes. There are times when the computer heats up and I remove the case. However, I looked up online and some site also said that my computer heats up even without the case.

No - of course not. The covers are intended to keep the equipment (computer, printer etc.) dust free when they are not in use. However, I guess that you could always modify the cover by cutting slits and ventilation holes in it to ensure normal functioning.

I'm bad aboiut snacking at the computer and getting crumbs on the keyboard, which then get under the keys. First thing to try, hold it upside down and shake it. That will probably dislodge the particles, & they will fall out. If that doesn't work, try using the "canned air" to force it out. Sorry, can't think of the name of it now, but it's made for cleaning electronics.

Not unless you want to damage the case(Im sure not). Its molded in and you would have to cut the lining and foam...I would highly discourage chopping up this case....it is the case to have!
