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

Well if you get am otterbox, it comes with an awesome screen protector.

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.

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

I can't really tell from the pics so I was hoping somebody who might have gotten it would know whether I can keep the case on while using the physical keyboard?
There are threads in the Accessories section regarding those Otterbox thingies...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I went to the link you posted and it says there that you can use the keyboard as you normally do. The answer was in front of you the whole time.
Why would you not be able to use the keyboard?!?!?!?!

One part for the front and one for the back. Still slides open np. Otterbox cases are worth every penny, imo.

I've been using mine for about a month and a half. Its great. Love that it covers all the ports. But its slipped out of my hands numerous times. Wish it came with a holster.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
fast review of this case:
good, solid design. love the inside rubber lining on the back cover.
outside material really slick, it has slipped out my hands numerous times. got some nice "wear and tear" marks because of this.
coupled with good screen protector i got a brick i can throw at someones head and knock em out.
pain in the ass to take off to use game gripper.
front cover does not feel like it will last forever as the clips are thin and crappy.
8/10
the rubber/hardcase combo from case-mate for nexus one is my gold standard for cell phone cases.
Sorry for yet another thread on cases, was wondering if anyone has found a G2 case with a kickstand other than the clear and black ones by the OEM. I've had the black one for a few months and the case to the front has already broken. Stand is kind of a dealbreaker for me as my phone's been my main source of entertainment the last month or so (my apartment was robbed of tv, computer etc and I'm still saving up for replacements).
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
geeze man, I really do feel for you and I hope everything in the future goes well. But with the case, I would look on eBay, and or Amazon if you haven't yet. There always seems to be more stuff on those sites. I thought I saw a body glove case with a stand, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I would save up for a gun and a deadbolt first.
Thanks guys. I actually have the body glove one, its what I got thru T-Mobile. The part that goes over the top is what broke. I've tried Amazon with no luck, but ill try eBay now.
Deadbolt didn't do anything

I don't know if they still have one, but otterbox ran a special where you got a free stand when you ordered a case. Looks great and the g2 sits nice even when in the case.

Something Dan taught me...
The battery cover makes a good kickstand

Elaborate pleaseee
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.

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
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

I've been rocking naked since day 1 (May 4th), except for when I go golfing, don't want it bangin' around in the cart. Not a scratch or blemish on it, of course I take extreme care of my phone. I check my pockets and surrounding areas before setting my phone down, and always put it in my pocket with the screen toward my leg. I'm not saying it will remain this way forever, but this phone is too nice to be careless with.
No case or screen protector on mine and it's still in mint condition.

Is it just me, or does the image just leap off the screen when you're caseless? Something about the way the glass rolls off the edges makes the display more vibrant with touchable goodness.
But I'm still using the Incase Smooth when at the gym or anywhere it's going to see a lot of action.

You might scratch up the camera lens on the back. A proper case would protect that. I think there was a post though where someone cut out a circle from a screen protector to fix that issue.
I rock it in the nude. I wouldn't consider a screen protector, since it has the gorilla glass 2, but I would really like a pouch sometime soon. I don't like cases since they add so much bulk, it makes no sense to me to buy such a nice, sleek phone, and then ruin it with a monstrous case. Currently, I'm considering this pouch, but as of now have no HUGE desire to buy it.

Rock mine naked. I agree with the fellow who said why buy a slim sleek phone and add a fat suit to it. Makes no sense. And why buy a phone with the best HD screen and put a cloudy screen protector that will get a thousand more times scratched up than the gorilla glass. However I too baby my phone, as my wife won't buy me a new phone if I screw this one up
