Really after a case to keep my phone in pristine condition but seeing as no shops in town have accessories yet I don't really want to buy completely blind online.
How many people have bought a case for their Sensation? If you have would you be able to give a link to which one you bought and a quick review of it?
Mobilefun has just got 2 different case-mate options in stock, I was thinking of going for their 'barely there' case for £15.95 - anyone ordered one of those yet?
My other two options are either waiting for the official HTC TPU case to come in stock or mobilefun have their own case which looks quite good for £10 - just called 'frosted back cover' but not sure if that'll be as good quality as the others.
Any recommendations?
I'm after something a bit rubberised but not floppy like silicone ones, quite a moulded fit round the back of the phone and preferably without adding too much bulk.
Bought mine from ebay, gel case under 2 quid. I am satisfied with it.

Also just got in from the factory high gloss black and high gloss smoke (no pattern). Clear GeoTPU and High Gloss Grey will be coming later in the month.
All of our Sensation cases have a cutout for the power button and a molded volume rocker. Thin, lightweight... weigh about 21 grams, raised wrap around edges.
And High Gloss Smoke (no-pattern)....
Thats pretty nice-looking! Hope it will be available on amazon germany soon. I like the pattern on the back.

I do put them on Amazon but I only have US shipping options on there. I had done worldwide before but Amazon gives customers an estimate of I believe 14 days for First Class Mail, and in my experience MANY packages take longer then that to certain destinations depending on customs. This causes customers to be very upset when they dont have their case after 14 days. Not good for feedback
Looks nice, but I'm in the UK, preferably after something with more of a matte finish too
Those are exactly what I want. I'll be grabbing a black one when they go up.
Very nice! Just put my order in for a smoked one. ;-)

Are you the maker of those? I just bought one on ebay. I love TPU cases.
Interesting. I have a very similar looking case (but not an official tpu one).
Mine doesn't have any of the small circular cut-outs near the camera and the speaker on the back, nor for the double small holes near the bottom of the case.
What am I missing out on?!
I've bought an official one on Play but at this rate I'm thinking it's going to be closer to Christmas before I see it. I'm more interested as to whether it will actually add something to the phone and make it easier to hold. The phone just seems too thin and slippery at the moment; I don't trust myself holding it!

I ordered this on Monday, and it already arrived today. It looks and feels great on my phone. thanks!
You guys should be careful with these hard tpu rubber kind of cases. I bought on from eBay and I thought it was perfect
It fit really nice and felt good but when I took it off and looked at my phone
I saw some very very small almost invisible scratches from the edge of the case where the lip touches the edge of the glass on the phone
On my phone on the thin black piece that goes between the glass and back casing.
So I decided to buy another case but got a soft silicon case just to make sure it wont scratch my phone

Should have left the power button covered. I like it better keeps the button finish from wearing. too bad I liked the case but oh well.
Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if there's any advantage of getting a case for the sensation at all?.. Since unlike other phones, the battery cover of the sensation is practically the shell itself. So why not just get a replacement battery cover for ~$50 on ebay when your original one is scratched and save all the hassle?

Just received my case today. It's looking really great and feels good.
In my opinion the volume rocker is very hard to use, I can't press it like I used to. There seems to be a certain position where it can be used easily, may take some time to get used to.
Also the power button is a bit hard to reach. having it covered, like the volume rocker, would probably have made it easier to press.

Has anyone tried this case yet and can provide feedback on it? Im contemplating between getting this or an otterbox (when it actually comes out). This case has the necessary holes on the back which is a plus.

Pretty nice case. I like the blue one.
EDIT: Judging from this review, I'd say it's a good bet it's a good case. I use the T-Mobile one mentioned. And from the looks of the blue one, I'm gonna order it eventually.
Review:
Would you recommend the HTC Sensation NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case to a friend? YES
Pros: Best case avaliable on the market if u want slim protection.
Cons: If you want a bulky battle tank of a case - this is not for you.
Purchased From: INCIPIO Web Site
Review: I got my Sensation 4G on the day it came out, and had to settle for a single piece black rubber case available at T-mobile store. It did the job, but attracted a ton of dust and crap, and was too loose. Since then i was monitoring all the major case manufacturers' web sites. It seems like INCIPIO is the only manufacturer at the moment that offers a slick case that provides complete protection without adding much to the phone dimensions.
I needed exactly that.
I received my case today and like it a lot. I was somewhat concerned it will be loose since its semi-rigid and stuff, but it hugs the phone as tight as any semi-rigid case could possibly do it, an extremely tight fit.
From the pictures on INCIPIO web site it is not exactly clear if on/off and volume buttons are open or covered - well, they are covered, and clearly defined by raised areas in plastic of the case.
It takes a tiny learning curve to be able to successfully push those buttons through the case, but i think i'd rather have them covered, thus preventing dust getting inside the case, than have them exposed. Good design decision.
NGP does not attract dust and lint, i just dragged my phone through the dusty carpet - nothing. This anti-dust property comes at the cost of this case not being as rubbery as you might want, but then i think INCIPIO struck a right balance between rubber and hard plastic, NGP material looks very high quality, provides solid feel and decent grip.
Unlike T-mobile case, INCIPIO case has holes for all five thousand tiny openings on the phone's back, a big plus.
Add to this a $19.99 price and free shipping, and, ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner !
But of course if you are and extreme lifestyle kind of person and need bulky triple layer protection that will withstand nuclear strike and last throu
So who's gonna take the plunge first?
I just recieved it and I got to admit it's AWESOME. It fits the phone perfectly has an awesome feel to it. Definetly recommend it to anyone getting it.

Thanks for all the reply guys.
I gonna jump ship and grab the case after I get off work tonight and I will try to get a few pics up.
Hopefully if this case is as good as it sounds I won't have to get the otterbox (even though I love their products).
Get the blue one!

How's it feel in the hand? Soft, hard? What about the grip of it?
Also, how's the solid feeling around the edges? I know the T-Mobile one seems to slide off buy the charger port sometimes. I have to kinda slide it back over the screens edge.

It's not like the regular gel case just a lil harder but still flexible. Grip is good cause it makes the phone a lil bit bigger & easier to hold.
surrounding edges are fine you just don't get the clicking noise when you put the charger in that's about it.....no issues @ all......
***only one thing though if you have the sensation wifi issue I felt the case made it a lil more sensitive for some odd reason***

More sensitive in that now it is more sensitive to reception (ie it helps with the problem) or it makes it more susceptible to the problem?
Sorry for the confusion
Also, how is the case qualitatively? How do you like it compared to naked when it's in a pocket/in use?
It doesn't help the problem I feel like it made it worse I loose the signal faster if I hold it a certain way than before.....
Quality is good, the volume and power buttons are a lil hard to press since they are covered. Adds a lil bulk to the pocket since the phone bare is so sleek, in use feels good in the hands to hold with the case than without.

I feel the same after I got it last night. Especially the volume buttons, can't even feel them when I press it. It is far from flimsy though, it is a very good tight fitting case.
Lack of power button tactility annoyed me.
How does this compare to the tpu cases that are out there?
I think tpu cases .com are the ones I have.
Would it be worth it to grab one of these ?
Think it would fit ina dock, the expansys ?

You won't have a problem in this case since it's a tight fit.......
I got mine today and I really like it, super tight fit and nice texture to it. Power button is a bit hard to push but not a problem for me, I'll get used to it. If anyone one some good pictures of it, let me know.
Doing hours of research on all diffrent types of cases i can apon the theory that case-mate are some of the best cases for the phone.. but i can across these Pop! branded hard cases and wanted to know if anyone else has one or seen one in the wild and what there thoughts are.. The case looks great, but its a heafty $34.00 for one.

I love the case, I have the black and grey version and I've been using it for just over 2 weeks now. The grey is a nice soft tactile grip and the main part of the case is a nice hard and smooth rubber compound that feels more like plastic then rubber. Fits the phone very nice, and its a dream to hold on to. But its a pain to take it out if you ever need to get access to the battery or memory card.
The only real con I found is that glossy black plastic scratches easily and shows the scratches but better the case then my phone.
Buttons are very easy to push and you don't have to struggle with them.
Now I have had one accident since I've had my case and I know it saved my phone from damage.
If there was an Otterbox Defender for out phone it would be over $60 and provide about the same protection. I'd would recommend this case.
I don't understand how people scratche their HTC!
Its the only devices that have unscratchable materials,I had an N1, DHD and now Sensation with no cases...never had any single scratches (apart the N1 screen)

If you haven't made the purchase yet, take a look at the Seidio Active case for the sensation. I've had it about a week now and it is a fantastic case. Not too much bulk, cutouts are positioned perfectly, and buttons are easily accessible. Plus I bought the one with the kick stand built in, which is a nice extra feature.

I can say POP! case is far the best, gives the best protection.
Barely There case is even funny. It has almost no protection from dropping the phone. It just makes 1mm protection from scraches.
And the tough case is like cheaper version of POP! version. And there isn't so much gum or silicone whathever the material inside is in the tough case that it is in POP!.
POP is far the best case for me yet (from case-mate production).

Do not buy the OtterBox, always loved her, but the sensation was very bad. Case mate beautiful
I hate to be one of "those" people but theres already at least 2 very helpful CASE threads, lots of info and lots of pics so go to search and check them out.
i think that case-mate have many cases that are beautiful and enough proofing for Sensation.
There are mesh cases on ebay for about 2$.
I'm not sure how they will handle a fall, but they will protect the back cover from scratches.
Here is an example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/250990237606?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
edit:
Just came home from work and the case was in the mail box.
My first impression is:
The case looks GREAT! The phone fits very well. there are holes for all the antennas (all the case is full of holes). I don't think it will protect your phone from a fall to the floor, but it will definitely protect it from scratches on the back cover AND on the screen! It has about 0.5-1mm "rail" on the screen side so when the phone is up side down, the screen does not touch the surface. It is possible to remove the back cover without taking off the case. I think the holes will help the phone to cool off.
I will try to post some pictures later if any one is interested.
If you don't mind waiting about 10 days, best bargain I've found IF you want a very thin and minimalistic case WITH Screen protector, here you go:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Silicon...875643?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c20d468bb
I ordered about a dozen for myself and coworkers. I got them at 1.99 shipped each, but they went up just a bit. For that price, get a few different colors.
Nice, tight fit and all holes are unobstructed and well cut out.
Never buying a hardcase again!
Never buying a hardcase again!
Sure the mesh ones look awesome but that's it, I bought 1 from ebay and it broke around the volume buttons within days of receiving.
Got a replacement from the seller and same thing!
Ended up getting a full refund.
Bought a $30 solid hard case from my local Optus Store (I'm an Aussie), was great for a few weeks then it too broke, they offered me a replacement but I opted for the full refund.
Totally disillusioned with hard cases!
Now I am about to test one of the TPU Clear Silicon Cases, fingers crossed it does the trick and doesn't some how melt and fuse itself to my Sensation XE.
Ballistic
I bought this case from amazon and the pics online look weird but in person its a nice looking case and solid feel and weight to it. http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-SA0...sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330012302&sr=8-1-spell

The case came in yesterday, it's mediocre.
The case is securely in place but not very secure, it's fairly easy to take the phone out of it. It is thin so that means that it doesn't cover the front of the phone at all.
Also the camouflage paint doesn't go to the edges
I would be careful; in my experience cases will compound wifi problems with this phone (as in block the antenna). With my two cases I can never achieve a full 3 bar Wi-Fi signal.

That's my travel case. Great case. But my fav at the moment is the clear aprolink hybrid case. It's pretty much plastic with tpu trim for grip. The only drawback is that the rubber easily scratches, but I can't see it.

More than a shell than a case but my preferred solution since years:

It's with a microfibre inlay so it cleans your screen every time you take it out of the shell.
Unfortunately only in German but Google translation should help.

There's two on Mobile Fun, a Flexishield Skin and the Case-Mate Tough Case. Both are in stock but the Tough Case doesn't have an image yet? Others too but not for weeks.

I see Zagg have an invisible shield available for the HTC One S on their website http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-one-s-t-mobile-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Anyone have any thoughts? Considering getting the maximum protection one for my replacement handset once I manage to get a swap.

has anyone manage to find like a desktop cradle/dock for the htc one s?
Does anyone have first hand experience with the ZAGG Shields. They offer screen only, screen and back and full coverage which is claimed to cover front back and all edges.
I wonder how the application process is with this kind of material? Is it some kind of smart material that folds around the corners while applying pressure or heat and then sticks firmly? Or do you get delivered three "shields", front, back and thin slices that you need to align very carefully around the edges so nothing overlaps?
Our device has a lot of slight curves and "weird edges" so any firsthand experiences would be welcome.
I am trying to avoid any sort of gel cases cause they feel icky, and also I do not think that any sort of hard plastic case will get my love cause it takes away a lot of the slim feel of the device. Of course they would offer better drop protection, but that is not my main worry.
The main reason I am looking is that I am starting to hate the fingerprint smudged that are so clearly visisble on the ceramic surface. I would order it "on the benefit of doubt" to test but as of now the distributors in Europe / Germany do not seem to have it in stock. Ordering from overseas, with shipping/handling and import tax will double the price to me and sending it back then if i dislike it is pointless...

Im looking for the same thing :/
Received the Zagg Invisible Shield today, and just finished fitting it. Must admit that I'm disappointed with the fit of the screen protector, to the point that I have taken it off again. It must only cover about 90% of the screen, and I didn't really like the feel of it once it was on. Quite tacky and doesn't let your finger slide over the screen very easily.
The rest of it I have kept on for now, but again it totally changes the feel of the phone, I have the MOA black version. It now feels very tacky, but I feel this may be a good thing as it doesn't slide in the hand as easily. This may help owners of the Grey version which is reportedly quite slippery. It also doesn't cover the edges where the chipping has been noticed by some owners, so don't buy this thinking it will protect against the chipping problems.
I'm just going to keep using mine as normal, and if I get the chipping again I'll exchange for the grey version and get a replacement Zagg Shield to help with the slipperyness.
It was quite tricky to fit, but once it's on the phone you can slide it into position quite easily, but it is quite hard to get it to conform to the curves and edges. I went for the full protection which gives 2 sections for the back, one for the top front round the speaker and the screen protector.

I had Invisible Shield on my MyTouch 3G (HTC Sapphire) and I wasn't a fan. I had it on all sides of the phone and it was constantly peeling at the edges. Then, dust would get underneath the corners. Also, after about a year with it on it started to turn yellow. Also, I found I had to press a lot harder for it to recognize my input. After a while I was used to it but honestly, I don't think it was worth it. I removed it maybe six months back and my phone is still in good condition. I don't have any experience with other screen protectors so they may be better options out there, but I would skip invisible shield.
Regarding screen protector, I bought the genuine one from ebay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221002245405?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Always go for HTC genuine one and used lots of cheap ones none of them did the job properly.
This one fits so well it even makes the installation a bit difficult and you need to be patient, just calm yourself down, sit comfortably, and practise a lot before installation. Try to be as steady as possible and you are good to go.
It took me only once to put the previous one on my incredible s but twice on one s due to larger screen. But the result is remarkable you won't regret it.

Agreed. I use the genuine one and it is miles better than anything else

Had invisibile shield for my psp, at first I liked it very much but then afterwards I got sick and tired of the feel it gave off. To me it felt really sticky and rubbery.

I've requested a casemate barely there case. (Also missing from the list.)
Would love to post it a link, but the forum's labelled me as a noob.
What MHL adapter is everyone getting/using?
I was bored enough so here is a simple review of the Diztronic TPU case for the One X.
First impressions of it, it looks like most standard TPU cases. the one thing that really caught my eye was the matte backing and the glossy sides which imitates that of the phone how it has a matte back and glossy sides at least in the case of the grey version of the One X.

Also shown in the pics you can see the cutouts for the rear speaker, headphone jack, power rocker, volume rockers, and USB port Which with them cut out like that they are super easy to press.
Fitment wise this thing fits the ATT One X like a dream, infact the fitment is so close it does take a little pressure getting the remaining two sides of the phone into the case.
an overall back view of the case installed, the cutouts for the rear speaker and the camera's LED are perfect, the camera isn't covered up all that great but, laying it on a desk or table it doesn't hit the camera bezel.
Heres a closer look of the camera area of the case when installed, as you can see the cutout is rather big but i have yet to have the lense or the bezel make contact with what the phone is resting on.
for the final picture i opted to take one with the screen protector installed just so everyone can see how it lines up. at the top its maybe a 1mm gap at the top and bottom, the sides have 4/5mm gap side to side, which i could live with, using a wet apply screen protector with this case WILL make the sides bubble up.
Overall, I love how this case feels when it is installed, how it feels in the hand. Almost like nothing is even on the phone, it's lightweight and very minimal bulk. The screen protector is a bit lacking on the sides but with the curved glass, what can you expect. Overall a very damn good case in my opinion hope you enjoyed the review.
Thank you for your review. Mine should arrive Monday.

I thought it would help some since I didnt see an actual review of the case but the one that I had bought was this one
"Matte Back Translucent Black"
i dont like the case at all, dust tends to get under the case some how... by looking at it, its not a tight fit but oh well, this will hold until i figure out what case i should buy

Cool. I generally despise TPU cases but I need something thin so I'm gonna give it a shot. Can't beat the price.

I never cared to much for them either until i had my sgs2 with a incipio ngp, from there on i liked them. my normal choice for a case was otterbox but i didnt wanna put a bulky case on this slim device. so got to looking around on amazon and seen the diztronic.
Thanks for the review. I ordered two from Amazon. I've always like TPU cases, especially the ones made by Diztronic.
I had the white matte one for 3 days now. It fits perfectly just like op said. Light, beautiful.

yes please i'd love to see how this looks like in white. i hope its similar to the this one
I have been using the clear one on my white HOX as well.
It is pretty good, minimal bulk considering it is TPU and perfect fit, but it is still not as minimalistic as the official HTC clear hard case C700, but it will do the job fine till I get hold of the HTC one which fits AT&T XL phone, it will also be better because it protects the camera, the Diztronic case doesn't, or very minimal protection since it is cut outside the metal frame around the lens.
Just got mine in, color me surprised... I actually like it! This marks the very first TPU case that I don't mind having on my phone. Very slim, minimal bulk, and fits perfectly. My only complaint is that it makes the hardware buttons difficult to press but I can deal with that until something better comes along. I have like 6 other cheap cases enroute from China so we'll see when they come.
Ordered diztronic clear case on Tuesday, should be arrive on Saturday. I'm still waiting for the HTC hc v701 to be reviewed with att one x. Anyone tried it? Is it fit perfect with att model?

I really do like this case but the camera touches when it's laid on its back. Case quality is great. Dust does get behind it but since it's so easy to take off it's not a big deal. As long as you can remember to put your phone face down your fine with this case.
+1 to this case...MUCH better than the orange plastic one from HTC that I had....
Can't beat this deal off Amazon for 10 bucks
Also the clear version of this case with the white HOX looks great!
This TPU case looks nice. I am a fan of matte type of products! I just placed in my order through ebay. Thank you for sharing!
I like the case aside from the fact that its pretty fricken dirty after only 4 days. Gonna try to clean with alcohol wipes. Anybody have other suggestions?
