Original Desire case fit the Desire S?

I've not looked at them too closely, but they look very very similar. My Wife is getting a Desire S and I would like to get her an Otterbox Commuter, as I have one on my Desire HD and its great.
would the Desire Otterbox fit?
Just checked the width and the Desire S is a bit slimmer, so I doubt it would fit

it has a differnt desgin. different button placements. and no trackball

trackball? desire HD doesn't have a trackball.
and obviously it will not fit, otter commuter cases are made specifically for the model. you can put it in just be sure to hold on to it as it will surely fall off.

I would too be interested in a case for Desire S, it looks pretty solidly built but a case would be the safe way to go
I couldn't find any specifically for Desire S in my contry yet (Romania) and I was wondering if anyoane tried any of those gel/silicone soft cases for the original Desire on this one ( I don't expect it to fit too well however)
or maybe Zagg's invisible shield or anything similar?

Desire S is smaller,so you need new case,try ebay,or aukro.

Amazon have some cases there already.

The neoprene slip cases for the original desire works really well, because it's slightly smaller it makes it easier to get in and out but without the risk of it just coming out on it's own.

The cases for the Desire are of almost no use for the Desire S. Not only the Desire S is smaller than the Desire, also the usb connector and the camera lens are at different locations which renders such an old case pretty much useless.

I wear nothing on my desire s.
But it's still very healthy and good-looking~~XD

Also I don't wear nothing on my desire s. And it is good.

... til it falls down!!! Then it it's time to regret...
Everything is fine until... it is not!! 500€ is money enough for me to purchase a case. Life will be easier for me... and for mi DS!!
Bye!!

No it won't work, I have 2 cases for both phones and the same design and they don't fit each other...

On a budget...

Hey guys, just broke my HD2 and switched to the G2 and I'm looking for some cheap but good accesories. What have you guys found and liked so far?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

what kind of acessories are you looking for?

Pretty much anything from cases, mounts, etc. To screen protectors, misc. Stuff, etc.
Mainly I'm just learnin the lay of the land for this thing since I was on the pandoras bo...er I mean hd2 for a long time now.

Well if you get am otterbox, it comes with an awesome screen protector.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I personally like the bodyguardz brand skin for protection.
Currently using the otterbox. Feels great and worth the price but know that you must not take the case on and off repeatedly. Only do it when u need it
Dock wise, go ebay. It's ur best bet
Mounts wise, you'll have to go universal.
That's all i can tell u off the top of my head

Thanks, ill probably go with an otterbox because I loved the one I used with my iphone back in the day. Unless...does it have that same rubbery finish which makes fuzz and lint stick to it like glue?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

it's plastic finish. there is a silicone lining inside that makes life awesome when you need to access your volume control or power button. it also provides cover for open ports (headphones and power) so it's a good thing it's there.

Oh wow that literally sounds perfect. Ill order one this week I think.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Sure, but as i said, once you put the case on, try not to take the case on and off often or you will break a few teeth (on the case) and might scratch your phone if you're not careful.

Sounds good. Thanks for the input!!

As far as a car mount goes, I tried a cheap one off eBay and it didn't last very long. I found a Bracketron universal mount at Best Buy, well worth the $20. It's lasted me a few months so far, with no signs of breaking.

Case-mate barely there gets my vote. Otterboxes are just overpriced. Also the case-mate is removable without damaging your phone or the case itself.

I had a few other cheap cases in the past that broke on me from taking them on and off, but this one is pretty dam good. Gives good protection and you can take it off no problem with out breaking the clips. It looks just like the case mate but is less then 1/4 the price, overall it does the job and won't hurt the pockets.

Hey i have got the same HTC Desire Z with the same ROM and build number, its locked to vodafone australia though. Have you been able to root that firmware version. I tried the methods on the posts and cyanogen and they dnt seem to work for my version. have you been able to root your version? If so please help

Sensation Back Cover paint/color coming off problems (Pics Added)

Well I just wanted to share with everyone my experience with the back cover and the color coming off after 1 1/2 weeks from the retail box. When I called HTC they did not give me any problems and sent me a new one.
I have kept the phone on Micro-Fiber cloths and what short time it is in a case it is in the T-Mobile sleeve for the Sensation which is soft inside. So I know it is not my use which caused it, the case is possible but I doubt it.
Bottom line is I think their could be some paint/color issues with the back cover so keep a watch for it and if you notice it call HTC and get a replacement.
So has anyone else experienced this? Please leave your comments.
Here is a couple of pictures of mine. You can see the area where the color is coming off just to the right and a little below the camera opening.

It looks like normal wear and tear from the body oils on your hands. I hope that isn't the case and their was some real issue. If this "issue" happens again I probably wouldn't ask for another case personally. On the bright side you can probably sell that other case for like $40 right now.

Same thing happened to me the first week I had the phone... I returned mine to T-Mobile for another one. Glad to see I wasn't the only one! Good luck with the replacement cover.

Well I would agree with you if it had been 6 months, but not 12 days. Maybe I have atomic hands LOL

No when it leaves the micro fiber cloth it goes in to the slip pouch. I'm very protective of my phones and I will never put one of my phones in my pocket unprotected.
Other phones I have like the thunderbolt and MT4G I have never had this problem.
I just hope the new case holds up better.

Happened with my XPERIA X1 (made by HTC), happened to my N1, and now it will probably happen to my Sensation. Good to know.

Perhaps it's the skip pocket and the constant slipping in and out of something that fit's so tightly.

Perhaps but the slip case is from T-Mobile and for the sensation and is lined with a soft material. And I mean how many times I could have taken it in and out over 12 days period is, well not that many times as while I'm working I use my work phone.
I might try a different case on this new back cover to see if it makes a difference.

I feel like all phone covers with this surface will be rubbed off eventually

I am having the same problem. I've had the phone 3 weeks, and it is looking pretty bad. It only seems to affect the top third of the case. I'll try calling HTC...
btw, I am also using the t-mobile slip case...

Good thing I got a cover for it to avoid this. Although this does look like normal wear and tear.

You think this looks like normal wear and tear for a 12 day old phone? I would agree if the phone was older maybe but if the paint is coming off this quick after purchase I just can't see it being normal. Also this phone has been in a case when not on my micro fiber cloth.

I think it's your atomic hands. Or too much Texas BBQ!
I've had mine 35 days now and no visible wear on the cover. I have ZERO protection on my phone and it's either in my cheap holster during work or taking up it's solo pocket location in my jeans/shorts. My holster interior is not really that soft and I holster the phone a ****load throughout the day. Honestly... I would expect my phone to have a lot of wear already. I've been in love with the sexy feel of this phone since day one and find myself holding and caressing it sometimes even when I'm not using it.
Not sure if that helps or not but due to my holster and my almost perverse fascination with the feel of this device I would expect to see some wear on mine.

Exact reason I got my tpu Case. Need to keep the resale value up.

I got my sensation fully covered by zagg shield and mine had been perfectly protected by that so maybe you think about in investing in a fully body shield

No it was definitely made by HTC, just sold by Sony. Because Sony could never produce a decent device. And THAT phone had a problem with its backcover, horrible I finished with rubbing ALL the color off, basically turning the black model into a silver model Looked as if it were new. But I think that's kinda hard to do with the Sensation because there are electronics in the cover. Or is it just metal parts for the antenna?

I also had X1 and the exact same thing happened to me. The cover changed the color from black to silver

Hard-Case which protects screen?

Well. I'm now quite used to HTC Smartphones, and mostly (except for the PDAs and the recent HTC click) used a metal-hard-case with plastic screen-cover (or even complete, as for the Universal).
So now I bought the HTC Sensation and thought. a "simple" vertical flip-out leather case won't protect the device to my needs. The recent HTC Click is small and "capable" of accidentaly falling from 1 meters to the floor. On each other device, there were hard-cases which protected the screen with a plastic-"window".
But as far as I have seen, the only "hard-cases" or metal-protectives leave the screen open, which seems senseless for me.
Does anyone know any shops (shipping to germany) for hard-cases for the Sensation?

I have yet to see a case with a plastic liner over the screen....
thats what you're asking, right?

yeah, something like http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_1800000_11000335&products_id=13742 this, but (logically) for the HTC Sensation.
They are selling hard-cases for the sensation there too, but they say "open screen", so without plastic over the screen.

Hey I have seen a awesome case made by the company oterbox it had a plastic screen protector and it had better convenience options to make up for losses of having it in the case I have the evo 4g and it came with a external kickstands to make up for me not being able to get to the one built with the phone

OEM HTC One X Case

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/htc-one-x-official-hard-case-hc-c704-blue-p34713.htm
Anyone using that case?
Thanks in advance!

Had it. Returned it.
Offers no protection and makes the phone very slippery.
Got it for $15. Not worth it. Definitely not worth it at $30.
All imo of course.

How ridiculous of HTC to release such a flimsy case for such an expensive price. I saw a picture of this case snapped in half quite easily.
Clearly someone at HTC was playing a joke, I mean blue and orange? $30? I feel like they're virtually feeding us crazy pills.

I like mine and use it when not at work. I work out in the field and use the best buy case and holster combo. It's nice when going out to dinner and showing off the great design of the one x. FYI that link is for the one x and not for the att or rogers(xl) version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I realize now that this is a slightly different case than the one I was mentioning. This is the official case for the international One X. I don't know if this is quite as flimsy as the one for the One XL, but it probably wouldn't fit on the XL anyways. Could anyone confirm this? i'm interested in grabbing the white one for my fancy times.

The white one reminds me of a golf ball.. but they should've kept this pattern for the US version instead of the stripe/bar pattern we got.

I can't vouch for that one specifically. I do have the HC 700 for my XL though. Unfortunately since I'm a new user it won't let me link it, but you can find it on the site you found that one under the HC 700 model number.
It's for the International version but I decided to give it a shot for my phone. It does fit, just not perfectly. You can feel a little(barely) flex in it if you press down on the back of the phone's edges. The camera lens also doesn't line up completely but luckily the flash is not covered and the lens is not covered, just a little of the ring around the lens gets obscured by the case. Same thing goes with the hole for the speaker, it just barely comes up to the point where the holes for the speaker are but it doesn't cover them, but it does leave a larger gap at the top of the speaker holes. None of the buttons or input/output jacks are affected though. Since that is a similar case I'm sure the results would be similar.
I primarily got the case to keep the back of my White One X(L) from getting scratched, so far it's doing its job so I can't really complain too much about the minor alignment issues.

Yes,also know this case from other forums that it's don't do good protection..
