I got my Case-Mate Tough and I am really liking it.
The hard outer shell allows for easy removal from pockets, which is huge for me.
Overall, I like it a little more than an Otterbox Defender I had for the iPhone. I feel like it will protect just as well and it is simpler and less bulky. I feel like a normal drop, from a normal height, it will hold up just as well as a Defender.
I would definitely recommend this case.
I ordered one last night. I had it for the Nexus One and loved it. Can't wait for it to get here.
Where did you buy it from and do you have any pics of the case.
Any comments on the included screen protection? I am trying to decide between ordering one of these and waiting for an Otterbox commuter or defender.
Screen protection?

most screen protectors that come with these cases are garbage, you're better off shelling out a few extra bucks and getting a zagg or clear coat.

Don't guess you looked very hard. My first Google search brought this up:
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Desire-HD/Case-Mate-HTC-Desire-HD-Barely-There-Case.asp
$19.99 direct from CaseMate. A little cheaper than on the AT&T site that had them for 24.99 but I don't know about shipping costs.
Got one for the Inspire and one for the HD2, $29.98 total shipped.
Case-Mate site has free 4-6 day shipping.
Thanks for the heads up OP!
i picked one up at work today and it really nice, color me impressed. Still thinking about getting the pop! case from them as well.
Screen protector that came with it is not great but it works. Had a zagg on my first inspire and I didn't like it. I couldn't remove it and reuse it so AT&T has it now, but the spray you put on the film leaves bubbles underneath and that bugged me.

I just got mine today. I love the case but
I thought the case mate tough didn't cover the buttons?
and mine didn't come with a screen protector?
I ordered from ATT
Whats up world of XDA, I need your help choosing between these four cases. I usually buy them cheapy ones but this time I decided to buy a good one. I'm not sure whether to go with the Seidio Active, the Trident Aegis, the Case-Mate Tough Case, or the Case-Mate Pop! Case. Or should I wait for a better one to come out, (if there is another one coming out). Is there other better ones? Thanks!
Hmmm.... Based on the examples you listed, it seems like you're looking for a tank-like case. Considering how 'new' the Sensation is, you could always wait for more tanky cases to come out. If you don't mind getting something a little less tank-like, take a look at Incipio NGP case. I bought mine for 19.99 with free shipping from the official Incipio site. Also, you might want to look at the NGP incipio case thread under Sensation Accessories. Good luck finding the perfect case.

Yeah, I saw the NGP Incipio case. It looks durable but I need something more as you said "tank like". I got it a month ago and its in perfect condition however I tend to drop my phone a lot. I used to have the Samsung Vibrant and I literally destroyed the chrome sides. I'd rather buy the case than buying a OEM battery cover. So you think I should wait for better ones?
Bump.

Unless you're willing to wait for other xda peeps to post up their experience with any of the cases you listed, you might be better off ordering all of them & personally test each one until you find one that suits 'your needs'. I dunno if you'd be up for such a hassle. Besides, what would you define as "better" in comparison to you're current list?
The Body Glove case with optional kickstand got bad reviews in the beginning because it was the wrong fit(left marks on phone). They've restocked now and it fits much better(they sent me a replacement). Its not too big of a case and not too small. Has good grip.
My 2 cents.

Basic TPU Cases - $0.50
Other TPU Cases - $1
Sparkly cases - $1.25
TPU Case w/ stand - $1.50
Aluminum back case - $1.75

I wonder why BoxWave is selling their cases so cheap, are these any good?
Lol. Boxwave cases are basically those cases you get from China that are cheap.

thanks!
The cases looks nice actually, and super cheap!~ In for a couple of them. I think some companies do crazy promotions for a limited time. their loss my gain! i'm jumping in.
the brushed aluminum cases look pretty slick. Will post about the quality when i receive them.
Xcor3 - lol maybe so, but what isn't from China these days? things can come from China and be good.
Wow, I love the book designed one, wonder if I could make one...I only need a replacement battery cover...Hmm. Good ideas, but for $14 with shipping...can't really go wrong, right? lol Thanks for the link.
The review I did on the Cimo S-line case looks exactly like their S-Line case, but it is only $0.50 from this seller. I would recommend this case at that price for anyone wanting a good TPU case.
I know the s3 Ballistic knock off case from them is garbage. There was no lip and the case could easily come right off. Might take a gamble on a tpu though, Can't really mess that up.
You can mess up a TPU case... I just bought one as a matter of fact. Bad cutouts, poor quality plastics, bad design...Lol

You most certainly can. Boxwave is simply taking a loss on their first sales to gain traction in the search results. Once their listing gets more sales, it will be ranked higher and then they will raise the price. Common Amazon sales tactic.
That's what I'm saying, most from china but it doesn't mean they're bad. I was just saying by the way ap3604 said it, he made it sound like boxwave is really good case maker when they basically buy from the chinese sellers and sell them bucks more that you see on ebay.

I bought one of the kickstand cases and it made it really hard to press the power/volume buttons.
Well, the warranty for this thing expires very soon, so I ought to take the best care of it that I can (within reason, of course).
There are quite a few options for case and screen protector... which are worth the cash? Otterbox has a reputation for building good cases, and the Commuter is about $30 shipped from Amazon $20 shipped from eBay sellers. There's also Ballistic's offering, which follows the same design principles as the Otterbox, but costs 1/3 the price, doesn't come with covers for the ports, and for all I know, isn't as strong.
But it could be. I don't know, haha.
There's also the battery pack cases... which retail for anywhere between $40-100, afaik. I have no idea if they're worth it.
Same deal with screen protectors: which is worth the money? I despise the orange-peel effect but really want to protect the glass from scratching (Corning, when's GG3 going into production? Revision 2 still scratches like a mo'!). There's offerings from Zagg and XOSkins and ArmorSuit and the myriad "no-name" brands discoverable through Amazon (Am Film, Mirror, Fosmon, etc). Perhaps I should just buy the cheap ones and cycle them out as needed?
I am using one of the cheap no-name screen protectors (like 6 for $5 with shipping or something from Amazon) and it's been great. I also bought an inexpensive TPU case (under $10, forget the brand) and it's been fine. I'm pretty clumsy and have dropped the device a lot, but it's light so the case has been enough protection. I'd love to find a good battery case that doesn't cost too much, too, since I don't want to carry around an external booster device everywhere. So far I've made due with chargers at home and at work, but it's not the same.
Whatever you get make sure it's for the HTC One XL, not just the X nor anything that says both X and XL.
I user an ottorbox commuter without a screen protector. I've already dropped and broken the screen on this phone twice. (Once in cheap tpu case off eBay)
Dropped it a few times in the commuter and don't worry about it at all.
Definitely worth it

I figured I may as well spend an extra $10 for the peace of mind. Should be getting the Commuter this Tuesday. I'll post a review of it if anyone's interested.
I use the Ballistic SG and it is simply awesome in the amount of protection it gives.

I can only reccomend the ClearPlex screen protector. Check them out, seriously. No loss of clarity on the screen and good customer service. I had an issue with my first one and they sent me another for free without me even asking. They make windshield protectors too!! I had gym shorts on one day while riding the mower cutting grass and my phone slipped out of my pocket. Needless to say, my screen came out fine. http://www.clearplex.com/

Zerlemon Case
I got cases for my Galaxy S4 from Zerolemon and it is worth buying at 19.99 USD
I am waiting for them to release for One X as well.
cruzerlite
definetly, cruzerlite tpu case is the best one out there!
I'm with Zodiac on the Otterbox, although I use the screen version. Protected the phone through some major drops, as well as normal abuse. Not sure how many other cases would have done as well. Worth the $$ to me.
Otterbox for sure
I've had the Otterbox commuter on my phone for 2 years and have dropped it many times in that period without any damage. The softcovers for the ports have worn out though, the rubber hinges developed cracks after about 18 months and they eventually fell off. Otherwise it's great.
Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.
I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.

I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else
For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.
Decent slimline case for the few quid I paid for it.
I tend to change my cases regularly so cheap and cheerful is OK for me.

Have you got a pic of the phone with the case on?
Reallly frustratingly i got my amazon order cancelled by i-BlasonEU due to 'stock issues' on the day my case was supposed to be dispatched!!! I went for the Supcase Unicorn Beetle in Black/Black http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPCASE-Uni...w_p_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EXFJ2YRVVF5WRKZE2AQ . Even more frustrating is the fact that the frost/black version is available for prime AND cheaper!
As requested. Not the best photos but hope they help.

Very nice
When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.
Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.
Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)
For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."
There are new cases from Incipio available:

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
The cruzerlite cover its perfect for this moto... I bought for the moto G 2013 before.
I just receive my Incipio Octane case and I'm 100% happy. Nice look and good grip. It feel like the Urban Armor case I had for my Samsung Galaxy phone.

Looks good. Where did u get it from? It's very hard to find a good case for moto play. I am using a transparent one gives a good grip and also compliments the back look of the device
