First Look at Official Sensation accessories! - HTC Sensation

HTC CU S490 Sensation Car Upgrade Kit
HTC PO S621 Sensation Meteor Slip Pouch Bulk
HTC TP C620 Sensation TPU Translucent Black Hard Shell
HTC AC M490 Sensation MHL - HDMI out Cable
HTC SP P540 Sensation Screen Protector Twin Pack
The car holder looks like the expensive HD2 one rather than the cheaper Desire HD. Surprised thought the DHD would havebeen far more popular due to a much better price point.
PS Put in links because I could get images to show here - sorry.

the TPU shell looks nice - hopefully there will be HTC accessories at the T-MO store when the phone is out~
If the phone has the same materials as the Nexus One, then, you probably don't need the shell

Think i'm going to buy an case, thank you!

If the TPU case is as good as the one I have for the Desire HD, it should be quite nice

If the HTC Sensation has Gorilla glass, why are HTC selling official screen protectors? Seems a bit of a contradiction.

Why is it better to buy HTC shell than Case-mate?

Although it is great solid glass, it's not completely fail proof, I have an SGS with GG and I managed to scratch the screen (more like slight pits on the screen portion) and a couple 1-2mm scratches by my Back touch button, when it fell out of my pocket onto a slabbed surface.

Did anyone buy the hard shell? would like to see how it looks on the phone

It's out on May 30th (next Monday). I've pre-ordered mine from play.com (£2 cheaper thank the links in the first post), together with the slip pouch and screen protectors. I'll take pics when I get them.
I'm not going to use the hard shell AND the pouch, but I'll choose when I get them. I'd prefer a "naked" phone once out of the slip pouch, but I'm nervous about dropping it, like I did with my HTC Desire a couple of times which knocked small chips off the top corners.

I'm probably going to go for a pouch, like I did for my DHD, I don't want to cover up the beautiful phone body with a case

DNLA adapter
Here is another handy accessory for those of us that do not have a DLNA enabled flat panel.
HTC Sensation Media Link DLNA Adaptor DG H100

Spent $4K on one of the 1st Samsung 52" LED backlit LCDs 3 years ago. Can justify a $145 add on allot easier than a new $2000 TV.

Case-mate appear to be making a Case-mate Tough for the Sensation - that will be good no doubt!

Official dock
Do somebody know something about official Dock for Sensation?

All online shops that showed the official HTC accessories as being out today (30th) are now just showing as out of stock. Was hoping to get them early this week.

Just got my official HTC screen protectors.
Not good news, I'm afraid.
- Each screen protector comes with one peel-able side, the other side is the face-up side and doesn't have a second bit to peel off once it's been applied to the phone.
- Each screen protector is EXACTLY the same shape and size of the screen, going to the very edge on all four sides, with rounded corners and a tiny cut-out for the proximity sensor.
- Each screen protector is completely flat, with no account taken of the bevelled edge.
- The surface of the screen protectors has quite a lot of friction. Rather than smooth movements, the screen protectors result in juddery movements.
- Whilst it is just about possible to get it to stick to the long edges of the screen, it is impossible to get it anywhere close to the top and bottom edges. See the third attached picture (ignore the bubbles!). You can see the strip about 8mm wide where it just won't stick down. It comes off almost straight away.
I really don't recommend these at all! I'm going to risk the Gorilla glass until (hopefully) some better screen protectors are available.

Hard shell - HTC or other ?

Traditionally I always buy case-mate "barely there" hard shells as they are excellent. but they are also expensive (£14.99):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Case-Mate-B...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1308068301&sr=8-3
This is also nice looking one and very cheap:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-SENSATION..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a77308ba
I am intrigued by the new HTC HC C620, described as a hard-shell with "tactical" back:
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=218026&sbadd=218026
Anyone got the HTC HC C620 and can comment ?
Or has other hard shell and has a mini-review ?
many thanks
I've ordered the ebay one on your list, Looks good for the price. It should get here the next couple of days. I'll post a review and photo then.
just received this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360372931979 fits the phone very nice and doesn't add too much bulk at all, only thing I have noticed is it dose not have the 2 tiny pin holes that are located near the bottom of the phone
This one on Amazon looks similar and is even cheaper:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SENSATION-R...FR7Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1308142464&sr=8-3
I went with the Body Glove case here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1PBHB5GGYWDT5SZNM56E
I've noticed a lot of the "official cases" are covering some of the holes on the back towards the bottom. The case-mate has those bottom holes covered as well....
Any update on the holes? Why are they covered?
the case-mate barely there case is exactly what i'm looking for. will it fit a US TMO Sensation 4G, though? i only see it offered on amazon.co.uk and not on amazon.com...

I use one of the PolarMK cases on my DHD. Great little case and fits well.

that frosted red one IS quite nice. is my TMO Sensation 4G the same dimensions as the one you guys have overseas? or would that case not fit mine because of slightly different height or width?

I have two cases, one a universal leather case that was 10bux and the other "official" case by body glove that you can get from tmo stores, but I got mine from wirelessground.com for 18bux shipped.

I have on order from Expansys the dock (30 some odd days left to ship lol) and the HTC HC 620 on order which will get to me within 2 weeks. I'll post back pics and my first takes on them when I get them.

I had this case for couple of days now, the fit is very nice and as you can see from the picture all the holes on the back are exposed. Also I like the added width to the phone as I found the 16:9 ratio a bit top heavy when using it one handed.
The case have rubberized feel, not so good feel as the Sensation's plastic back, more like the feel of plastic dashboard on average car or the Galaxy SII.
I think I'll keep the phone skinless as I prefer the premium fell of the Sensation and put it on for out door trips.
Could you please post some pictures of that frosted case? It looks cool with the Sensation design. I'm looking either at that, or the barely there, or this one with some acetone cleaning or something:
//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160603692342&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
It looks like it fits the camera area better than the frosted so I'm curious. Not good if it obstructs the flash.
lol I love in the Barely There pic from Amazon that they're showing it with an engineering sample (the upper left E###### code). lol
here's another hard back case which seems to have all the cut outs for the holes on the back of the sensation
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Red-Hard-Back..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3368b7492c
What are the chances it will fit in a dock with a hard shell on? Anyone tried already?

Correct me if I'm wrong...but there is a reason why those small holes are on the back of the Sensation.
This Case Mate totally covers up both mic holes....correct? Looks like it from the pics.... That's not good imo.
I called HTC a few days ago and asked about the other holes. From the horses mouth...they said that ideally ALL of the micro holes should be uncovered. Obviously the top and bottom mic holes (also used for stereo recording) and also the antenna rivet holes/air vent holes (straight from HTC support...for what it's worth).
The Body Glove case I got in the retail Tmo store is ok EXCEPT for the fact that it covers those "vent" holes.
Even the HTC branded cases leave those rivot/vent holes uncovered.

Thought I would relay that info... In the end...probably doesn't matter too much one way or the other

T-Mobile Official Accessories (Case+Screen Protector)

Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at Tmobile.
PRO'S: Case serves great protection and style as well.
The black color is really nice, compliments the color of the phone.
Its a silicone case, very flexible, that is textured. It is also really easy to install.
The bulk that it adds is very minimal.
CONS: One in particular is that if you like the ease of just pulling it out of your,
the whole case grabs onto the inside of your pocket, pulling the pocket inside-out.
OVERALL:: Overall, I recommend this case to anyone that is looking for some
great protection, with very little bulk adding to the phone.
Attached: Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at T-Mobile.
more pics...
that looks very nice, fit & finish is excellent!
how much was it and is it available internationally? definately want one....
Not bad, how much did that cost?
Around $17 plus tax but I bought it with some screen protectors so they gave me 20% off. Was about 14 dollars after discount.

I got one also yesterday. Fits great, feels good, easy to get off and on. I use it at home only. At work I keep it naked and sexy!
I also got the screen protectors. Clear type like I like and if put on correctly they adhere 100% no bubbles or air gaps.
The gel skin is a good case until otterbox decides to make a case for it. The screen protector is garbage. I had finger scratching on the screen protector before I left the store. But it will have to do until the zagg screens are out.

Found this original hTC case over at Expansys and the price is fairly good. Also looks like it is an identical color match with the phone battery cover; this is a major plus for a more stealth look!

Really nice find man. Ordering one right now, thanks!
I just got the T-mobile screen protectors. Not bad.
I had the rep at T-mobile put it on, figure if she screwed up she'd give me a free one or something. She had already done a few Sensations and I must say she did a good job. Better I know then if I tried it. There are just a few tiny bubbles that I think I can work out, not really noticeable. She did throw in an extra free one because she bad that she slightly scratched the protector trying to get one of the bubbles out. I can't even really see it. So overall a happy experience.
My Body Glove case is being sent to my home now - so that should be an all together different but interesting experience!
Here's a quick video I put up of the official T-Mobile gel case:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn-0WvA2hy8
It's a pretty nice case, just very, very linty. :/
I ordered the PhantomSkinz Matt full body skin.
http://phantomskinz.com/htcsensation4g.aspx
Comes with 2 sets and the screen part also comes with 2 sets of Matt finish and Clear Gloss finish.
I use the glossy finish for the display. I think they have the best feel.
There is also a summer discount code for 25% off right now.

The stock one. Best price/quality ratio IMO. There are slightly better ones but ridiculously expensive. And the invisible shield is crap (at least for the iphone4, and I would never put it on my DHD).
Yes, definitely stay away from Zagg & other helicopter-blade-derived solutions. They are good for protecting the body from scratches, but you don't want that sticky, orange-peely screen protector.
My personal favourite over the last few devices I have owned, has been Martin Fields, but it is very expensive.
I have put on the stock HTC one, bought from a local seller on ebay.
The only thing to watch out for when applying it, is that there is a top and a bottom to the screen protector... the top has a slightly different profile compared to the bottom, and the HTC protector at least has the peel-away piece of plastic at the top.

I'm just curious - when did you buy the stock protector and does it have the two little bubbles at the top-left corner (where the peel-away piece was)? I'm hoping that HTC corrected their manufacturing line because on the early batches of the protectors (I bought mine Nov 2010) there are the two bubbles.
HTC original is the best indeed, little expensive but you get quality, had tried alot of others, all damage very fast !
I recomment the original HTC screen protector. They fit perfectly, but it's kinda hard to put them on without any dust and dirt. I tried it with one protector about 5 times, but had to wash it with water to get off the dirt. After a party, my screen was ****ed up. I don't know why, but I think it was a good idea to use a protector. So I removed it and now I have 3 scratches and a alot of very very small ones.

No, neither of the 2 that were in the pack, had bubbles - or unneveness in the top left corner.
I must say that I dislike putting screen protectors on, and the DHD seemed to be the most difficult of the 5 or 6 I have put on, due to how air gets in even if the protector is not aligned perfectly. Got it right eventually though

Weird. I'm using the "ZAGG Invisible Shield HTC Desire HD Skin" for 8 months now and it's still as clear as without it.
Bought 20 for a few pounds on ebay, the cheap ones work fine like any else. Even though they take scratches to them easy, you can easily wear 'em out for at least 6 months, and then you just apply a new one of your 20! 10 year lifespan is not bad, although I doubt I'll keep my phone for that long!
Must agree with you Juusuhako, also boght some cheap screen protectors, which saved my screen from geting broke when it slipt once from my hands.
For me they last about 3-4 months

+1 on that!
sedio ultimate screen gaurd. I wrote a review on it some time ago, by far the best i've ever used.
Does the original HTC one slide well? Cause most of the time they're a little sticky and make the utilization less smooth.
I use the protection ship with the Case-mate "Barely there" and it's good for me : good smoothness, no bubbles and easy to install.
With my previous desire i put a vikuiti DQC 160 and i find it more easy to install.
HTC protectors are fantastic indeed, but my own has the same two bubble problem described in the first posts.

I keep mine in the HTC branded leather case. 6 months of daily use, and it's immaculate. I could wipe the screen on my shirt and it would look like it was just unboxed.
I can't say the same for my Topaz, which is scratched, grazed, and chipped all over. Screen protectors protect the screen; Pouches protect the phone.

Screen protectors for desire s?

just ordered my desire s (finally after a 2 month wait!)
looking for any reccomendations for screen protectors?
prefably want a hard wearing long lasting one.
anyone use the official htc ones? any good?
or should i settle for the full body coverage invisible shield? (used them in the past)
cheers!
i use the one included on otterbox, its actually very good, still has not a single scratch since i bought it 2 months ago
Same goes for the protectors included with Case-Mate cases. They feel as smooth as the glass they protect which I think is important. The cheap ones just add friction, and are a pig to apply without fluff bubbles!
Case-mate ones can also be bought separately with out a case.

I tried the official htc ones and they both ended up in the bin! For some reason the type of film they use is different, as the act of peeling the backing off super-charges the thing up with static. Every dust particle in the room rushes to stick to it. Had no such problems with the several case mate ones I've applied.

I think i shall settle for a imnisible shield full protector, as i like to use my phone bare without any casing
(occasionally using a case)
Just waiting for the phone to arrive tommorow morning!!!
I bought the original HTC on ebay , very cheap about 5€ , in the shop they are 10€ !
This is a thick film , very scratch resistant !!! easy to apply , no air bubbles whatsoever, very clear film and me very happy.
Not using a film is looking for trouble, okay, it's gorilla glass , but i hear of people who managed to scratch this to, so spend a little money and keep the screen scratchfree !!

i dunno if i want to shell out on the 16 quid invisible shield just yet..
brando ultra clear.
it will probably last longer than your phone.
You can buy it quite cheap from a company called wexim, in France (google it)
I have been using it for years now, on all my PDAs and phones. They are reallt great.

I have the invisible shield on my HTC Desire (Looking to get the Desire S in the next month or so), the invisible shield is good, but I have been sort of disappointed by it.
I had another phone in my pocket one night (Nokia 6300) and the camera part must have pressed against the screen and has left a permanent indentation on the invisible shield screen protector. It is a good protector, but also it is the most tedious protector I have ever applied, you really do have to "stretch" the protector when applying to get it to sit nicely.
Its your choice, but I would really think about it for a little while longer before you put your money down on an invisible shield protector.
As far as what I've read though, I've got a feeling my protection plan when it comes to the Desire S will involve a Case-Mate barely there case ... when they're in stock again from Australian suppliers.

It is a good protector, but also it is the most tedious protector I have ever applied, you really do have to "stretch" the protector when applying to get it to sit nicely.
Its your choice, but I would really think about it for a little while longer before you put your money down on an invisible shield protector.
As far as what I've read though, I've got a feeling my protection plan when it comes to the Desire S will involve a Case-Mate barely there case ... when they're in stock again from Australian suppliers.

Cheers mate
Yeh, i have used the universal invisible shiel on my tg01 before (i custom cut it for the screen)
Had it on since september, has lasted very well, no peelings anywhere, but it has scratches on it
So i guess they aren't really 'indestructable, scratch proof' as claimed on their website!
But they still hold out very well compared to other standard screen protectors.
When you had it on your desire, was it still possible to use a case aswell? Did it add much thickness?
I wouldnt mind if there was another type of protector, mainly, i want to protect the back of the desire (aluminium casing etc) from scrathes.
The only manufacturer that offers a thin/screen protector is invible shield.
Are there any other manufacturers that make films/screen guards for the back of the desire s??
Thanks for your contribution!

[Review] Nillkin TPU-Case

Hello all,
Just wanted to share my experience with the Nillkin case (found on eBay, lots of sellers selling it). It comes in around $12 with free shipping. I got the clear black one.
It comes in a decent packaging, and it includes the case, screen protector, and a screen cleaning dongle.
The case itself is actually very nice. The back is actually a sandy/matte texture, and the side has grooves on it to enhance your grip on the phone. It doesn't add much dimensions to it, as it feels still relatively the same size as it is naked. It has openings for the headphone jack, USB port, camera/LED, mic, and speaker. The power button and volume controls doesn't have an opening, but you can still easily press on it with the outlined placement on the case. Speaking of this, I actually found that after putting on the case, it makes it easier for me to reach the power button to unlock the phone, as it increases the area you can use to push it. Also, it contours to the camera, so even if you rest it on its back, you will be resting on the case and not the hump from the camera.
The fit of the case is not perfect, as it is meant for the international version of the One X. It still fits...just some parts you will find it to off by a few millimeters, which is especially noticeable on the camera, and speaker, but good news, it doesn't block it. Other than that, its a very good fit, and doesn't attract too much lint in my pocket. Also, the case wraps around the front edges, so even when you put the phone face down, you will not be placing it on the screen (unlike the Nillkin hard-case).
The screen protector is a different story. I'm not sure if it came with the wrong one or not, but its very small, and doesn't cover the whole screen...at all. Its also a finger print magnet, and you would have to wipe it down a few times a week.
Overall, I'm happy with the case, but will probably replace the screen protector down the line with something else.
i have their hardshell case and i must say its one of the best cases Ive bought for any phone ive owned. Unfortunately , just like your TPU version , it is meant for the international one x so it doesnt fit perfectly. Its not awful but due to that I am using my diztronic case most of the time.
Can we get a big pic of the back just so we can see how opaque the material is please. Just want to see how strong the logo shows if at all. But thanks for the review.
Screen protectors are made smaller to fit curved displays
Most of the screen protectors for curved displays are cut smaller to prevent bubbles at the edges. This has been confirmed by the screen protection manufacturers in the world. Don't be surprise if you find they are smaller for HTC One X, Samsung Galaxy S3, and other curved display phones.

Here it is. Its not really opaque, and a lot of details do show through the back.

Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks for that back pic bluerex! I may just go for this one.
Hey i just looked at the top pics again of the screen protector! LOL!!!!! That thing is waaaaayyyyyy offff. That can't be right haha.
I too picked up a clear Nillkin TPU case for my AT&T HOX. I personally must say that it is BY FAR my favorite TPU case for the HOX so far. I am a major cell phone case whore too, btw. LOL
If this Nillkin case doesn't fit the AT&T HOX right I certainly can't tell. It looks perfectly fine to me. I especially like how it makes pressing the power button SO much easier than any other generic TPU case I've bought. It actually makes it SUPER EASY to press the power button whereas other TPU cases didn't seem to line up quite right making me have to try to press the power button more than 3+ times each time I lock or unlock it. After liking this case so much I went ahead & decided to order the Super Shield case as well as the hard plastic fashion case - both by Nillkin on eBay. Can't wait to try those out too!

Hey let me have a link for that exact case. Looks perfect. I just got a tpu and it sucks! Plus it was only $7 so it's not even worth returning. Would probably cost me $3 shipping so I get $4.

How does it fit around the sides? The case I bought was very loose around the sides and made the volume rockers impossible to press. And the top wasn't contoured enough to press the power button easily.

It fits completely perfect. No issues with it being loose or otherwise. You won't be disappointed if you order it. I assure you.

The Nillkin case is actually once of higher quality cases that I have gotten from eBay. The fit is great as tech mentioned.
Tech: the screen protector u recieved, is it way too small for the screen as well?
I bought one myself on EBay and couldn't be happier. Excellent looks, fit and quality. It feels very nice in the hand as well. I don't think I'd ever switch to another case.

I have no idea. I haven't even tried to install it since I have a Zagg HD on my X now.

I actually ended up finding an even better clear TPU case on Amazon. It's pretty similar to the Nillkin but this one is made by Diztronic and it's on Amazon. It's got a matte finish on the back and cut outs for ALL the ports. Plus it's made specifically for the AT&T One X not the international one. Just Google 'Diztronic matte back TPU' and you should be able to find it on Amazon.

Saw that and it looks good! Only thing is I wish there were not cutouts for the volume and power. I'm not into that depression where the cutouts are when you reach for the buttons But I do like that it is actually made for the AT&T One X because I hate how the speaker and camera are off alignment on basically every other case.
Nillkin TPU case clear black
hello all,
Can i ask a question please? What is the difference between an international htc one x and a htc one x AT&T?
I have an htc one x with a quad-core processor and tegra 3 which is fully unlocked version, i want to know its version meaning if its international or not. I really love a tpu nillkin case. Please search this case on ebay :
Type ( Nillkin TPU Soft Cover Case +LCD Guard HTC One X LTE Endeavor Edge Supreme S720e ) from the ebay search bar. Want to know if this case is for the international htc one x or for the AT&T version.
Also I'm a bit confused about the HTC one x LTE version.
Please help me out. Many Thanks
