I was a bit bored of the usual silicone/hybrid/hard cases on the market coz it just made the handset look bulky, so I decided to give these skins a try.
See what you think
New design: assassin's creed 05/08/11....was rendered by me in photoshop and put on a template provided
Looks good. I'm just waiting for my carbon fibre skin to arrive in the post.

maybe http://www.gelaskins.com/store/skins/phones/HTC_Desire_HD ?
I tried gelaskins i didnt like them, they don't provide skins for the front and it started peeling off after a few times in and out of my pocket
i got mine from http://www.diabloskinz.com/index.asp
Whats the carbon ones like? id be up for trying on of those
Normally i'd leave those sort of cases for my iPod, but that actually looks pretty decent...
the touch sensitive buttons work through the skin (dunno how obvious that is) and i love the fact the wallpaper matches it
yea wallpaper matching it is cool
Very nice i think i will buy me one too
How can you do it?????????????????????????????????????

Hi,
i'm using a mumbi Silicon Case, looks not even half as good.
make no mistake a silicone case will protect it much better than this, but it makes the phone look bulky than it already is...as if it needed extra thickness (+ i got insurance so if it breaks i'm not worried)
Nice Skin dude
I myself use gelaskin; I wanted a custom design and I only wanted the back to look different, and a clean front so people can see its a HTC . but since i have no insurance i do use a transparent TPU case over it . I am content with the gelaskin so far .
you can get hold of custom designs from diabloskinz. + where does it say htc on the front =p
the front is what i wanted coz of the matching wallpaper + its cheaper than gelaskin

So i got this idea from one guy who put the 3M carbon fiber skin on EVO, But the problem was the curvy shape of my beloved Nexus. So I tried a few things and wasted some Vinyl but finally i bought Best skins ever skin for $8 and used it as a stencil and cut out the vinyl with my xacto. here are the pics. I liked it a lot so i thought i'll share with you guys.
That.....Looks.....AMAZING! Do tell....
Wanna give me the skin you didn't use? ;-)

Agreed, you've 'riced' up your phone.
i dont think its any more ricing up than putting on a case. isn't ricing up to give it some sort of performance enhancement that doesn't really enhance anything?
Well I know why some of you don't like it. as my wife does not like it too she also has a nexus and she likes the feel of 'naked phone' if i may say .
My only problem with cases is that if i use them then my desk-dock becomes useless. plus i dont like always to be super careful about keeping my phone anywhere and scratch it.
you know what, it looks pretty good but the only problem is the weave is too large. maybe get a smaller weave vinyl.
care to share the stencil?

FYI you guys can get overstock Carbon fiber sheets and m3 adhesive strips like used above from a guy named racingjeff on ebay. What this stuff is microthin carbonfiber with m3 adhesive on the back. They use it to make the CF dash boards in teh bling bling honda's you see on the road. I've deal with Jeff for years buying real overstock 3mm CF sheets. Guys a really good guy.
Personally I don't think it looks bad at all. I wouldn't do an entire phone in carbon fiber but it looks nice enough to me.
I'm going to cover my HD2 battery door using the same carbon fiber sheet. I'm also considering buying a couple of battery doors from ebay and experiment a little. I want to polish one battery door to a "mirrior finish" and I want to try painting one using Krylon just to see how it will come out.
I've painted all sorts of crap like Blackberry housings, golf clubs, furniture and I have the technique and prep work down to a science so we'll see how it goes and I'll make sure to post pics when complete.
I applaud dude for having the balls to experiment!

I like it but the CF grids are a little large. I would like a tighter patterns. Heres the guy I use. Granted its not going to be $8 because its real CF.

Email him and tell him what your planning to do, he's super cool and will send out samples and all his stuff is the real deal, not look alike CF.
Is there a ay you help me out, on how to make the vinyl go so nicely around the corners? specially on the curvy parts... ive tried b4 with other vinals, and i cant get it to go nice on the curves, i always get extra stuff
This case looks pretty decent. They have 6 different colors too

Yeah, I wish there were more cases out there for the G2.
this case looks freakin awesome
It is cheap plastic and looks bad in nature. I got two of them. Ebay sells them as metallic back plates. Pure crap.
doesnt look half bad but i wouldnt buy from a place called "chinagrabber"
It does look nice, I just wanted to mention I used to work at a place that sold cell phone accessories (cheap ones like what's on ebay, etc) and we had these for the iPhone 4. For that at least they were not so nice plastic things that didn't feel great and broke easily taking the phone in and out. These may be different though!
I have the black one on my phone and my girl has the pink one. Got them both off ebay. Its not really metal on the back, but it has protected my phone MORE than a few times and is still looking good. I think its worth the price. Looks good and its not too bulky either.
what do you guys think of this case, I hate the case that comes with the sensation by default, really makes the phone look ugly,
any one think this is a better idea? I will be moulding this design in the near future as a prototype
edit:
version 2 pic uploaded, more rounded from the top, version 1 removed
edit2: 1 white sensations added, what do you guys think,
for anyone curious enough, the white sensation pics I am running launcher 7 free from the market place
Mmmm........well I am not keen on the case myself, but if you like it go for it after all it is you that has to like it. Good luck.
I think the back is alright, but the "shoulders" look kinda weird. Just "fix" that up and it should be sweet
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA
ok how does the 2nd pic look now?
I like the second picture actually, and I got to admit the back looks pretty awesome on both pictures. I totally missed it the first time I looked at the first picture. I just wonder how you are going to handle te curved at the bottom of the device cause in both pics it looks like you have the glass going to each corner and not being rounded like the corners are stock on the device. Now I know this just might be a small thing over looked in when you made the concept pictures. But to actually do this I would think you would have to have another screen manufactured to just fit the case. So personally I am thinking you are probably going to have to make the case to precisely fit the stock screen. Just a observation I made.
Sorry just ugly !
send from HTC Sensation rooted with beats audio using XDA Premium
the glass would remain as is, and I would try to find some sort of workaround to create the gloss effect such as using several layers of paint laquer to create the sheen/shine,
I think the second one looks great, everyone is entitled to their opinion however
the mod would start off with me first of all creating a 3d mould and printing these off at my university ... ;-)
Me gustaaa ! Second pic looks better can you make a few for other users as well who wanna buy em like me ?

if prototype is sucesful then yes, however i would like to use the original cases as a base due to antennas, etc. and work over the original covers,
one idea is to create a fully chrome effect, around the entire cover

I'm a kickstarter and quirky supporter/backer, so I'm willing to take a gander at the prototype and see how it goes from there as well.
Make it a battery door instead of a case!
For me it's not "round" enough.
Looking for iphone similar design? - Buy a Samsung!
i think the iphone case is the best phone shape ever created, i just dont like the software os, if iphone case + android would be my dream phone, I like something a bit more square,
with the sensation there are too many weird curves (the glass, the back, the edges),
the desire hd was more square then they ruined the sensations design,

I found a case with code HC C740 in a shop in my country...ordered after looking on many sites and pictures with that case...I also found an youtube video about this case..received today....WOW!...AWESOME!...superb finish, personally i think that is the nearest finish to the original...I will post some pictures later, when I`ll be at home...I think that is the best and beautifull case for our lovely device.
Edit: I have the black version of OneS.
skodann do you have any pics of the case on your phone?

I just saw it today in the store, it was a black one.
The kickstand didn't feel too sturdy and the case was a bit bulky, however, I thought it added some substance to the phone being it's almost too thin.

Do you mean this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-s-hc-v741-hard-shell-with-cover-and-stand-black
It's the one I got with the phone and from the looks of it, it's actually the same hardshell as the C740, but with an added leather cover for the screen which can also be folded over to use as a stand. Excellent quality and really like it. Two niggly things to note with it are you can't have it plugged in while using it as a stand, and as the leather on the outside is facing whatever surface you have it on while using it as a stand, it can slide about quite easily when trying to use the phone on smooth surfaces (to be clear this is when trying to interact with the screen - e.g typing - not while it is just sitting playing a video). Both minor points for me, and I would recommend this case over just the hardshell due to the screen protection and stand function.
tl:dr version
+excellent htc quality
+screen protection
+stand
+doesn't add much bulk
-can't charge while using it as stand
-can move about on smooth surfaces when using as a stand
i think these are the cases that some are looking for, but they don't seem to be available yet.
I saw those original case and the kickstand in a mall in Toronto !!

I bought the Original HTC Clear-Hardcase and Screen Protector yesterday.
For each I paid 11,99€ which is f*n expensive in my opinion, but I think its well worth it to have original accessories on my baby.
( Original ) Screen Protector
I know this is not the thread for this, but I´ll show it anyway
HTC Clear-Hardcase
Both Products are Tripple-A Quality.
The Screen-Protector Package includes 2 "films". If applied correctly you wont every recognize that theres something on the screen ( like on the photo above ).
I also really like the Hardcase, the only problem with this is that its a little slippery on smooth surfaces.
EDIT:
Both Images are a little bit out-of-focus, since I used a 50mm Objective to take those.
I can take new pictures with another one, if requested.
I got the black case the day after I got my phone, around 5 weeks ago. The finish feels very similar to the black phone itself, with the colour matching.
The case is very slim, and you really wouldn't notice it was there. It adds no real extra size to the phone.
My only small issue with the case is that the top and bottom of the phone are exposed still. I'd prefer a little more coverage, but overall, the case is pretty awesome.
looks a LOT like my case

i just noticed that incipio one covers more edges. so i think i am more leaning toward this...
Good to see they finally got them out, but im not sure if I would pick it up our not. When I had my SGS II I loved my NGP that I had on it, right now im rocking the diztronic tpu which is almost the same exact setup as the NGP.

From the pictures on the site, the feather looks exactly the same except the bottom part looks like it wraps around a bit further and the top has an extra piece that covers the middle section between the headphone jack and the power button.
Just ordered a feather. Will report back when I get it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Just got my feather in and I can tell you that there is a reason they don't show you what it looks like directly from the front. The case is much thicker than they would lead you to believe and is pretty damn ugly when it's on. I will never use this case.
^dang sorry to hear that
Well Im going get mine in the mail soon so I guess I know what to expect

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).
I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.
