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.
Dave
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 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.
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=218026&sbadd=218026
Thought I would relay that info... In the end...probably doesn't matter too much one way or the other

I'd have to disagree with the speck case. I bought one when I first got my phone. It protects from scratches. But the case iitself had scratches on it from day one. Small cracks in it by the power button and the charger. Thing falls apart so easily. Also it makes the phone feel huge in my hand. Almost tempted to use my g2x naked

I'm curious, you guys say you purchased them directly from t-mobile? Does anyone have a link?
Yesterday I found this case at wal-mart (of all places) and it actually looked good, so i picked it up and love it. It's a body glove, but for some reason i dont see it on their website and it doesnt look like any of the cases ive seen at the t-mo store...
I wonder if it's different than the ones you guys have
I definitely second the Body Glove case. I'm not sure why more people dont use it. I've used nothing but Body Glove cases for all my phones since the G1 and I've had the: G1, HTC HD2, HTC HD7, G2X
I've had nothing but good results with the Body Glove cases. They can be found on Ebay for as cheap as $12-$14 also.
I had great success with the body glove for the HTC Touch Pro 2. An awesome product.

The one I found in wal-mart is like half tpu and half rubber. It's only one piece altogether, but a small portion around the top edge is rubber so that the power and volume buttons are easily pushable (they feel fantastic! you feel it as if it were a real button) and then the lower parts of the case are tpu (i think).
On that back side there are some diagonal stripes but they're not so visible because it's black on black, but they come off the case just a little so it gives it a nice grip. On the inside of the case where your slip your phone in it is also rubbery, so it grips on the phone very well.
Besides this purchase I was using a standard tpu case from tpu-cases.com and a tpu fusion case from ebay. Neither of these cases did it for me, i was disappointed because the same tpu cases i had for mytouch 4g were a much better fit.
Anyway, this case is perfect for me, I love it! I can take pictures of it if you guys want, since i cant seem to find it online anywhere.

It pops off every time I've dropped it. But I like everything about it otherwise. The belt clip acts as portrait and landscape stand plus it acts as an anchor you can hug with your 2 middle fingers when holding it in landscape.

Sorry about that guys, I completely forgot about this thread and forgot to post pictures >.> But yeah, thats the case I have. My box doesnt say "grasp" or anything, so i dunno about the exact name.
This is a GREAT case though. I'd highly recommend it to those of you that are used to TPU cases. Check if they have them at your local walmart and give it a try
I second the Walmart body glove, nice case

I believe they are taking them out of the walmarts the specific case, mine did....your walmarts should have other cases, I would expect you would have asked so maybe not.

I may like the standard T-Mobile sleeve more though, and those are going for 6-8 on ebay. I think the stock sleeve has a bit more protection for drops. If you don't mind a slightly large lip
Hi - was wondering if any one here could shed some feedback on their experience, etc., as to which case to get among these two as I think I've narrowed it down to these two.

I also own this case and I will say that unless you want a little bit of extra drop protection then you have nothing to gain. The button design and cutouts on this case are perfect. The case is not bulky and gives the phone some traction so it doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of your hands.

If you are looking for the best case with the best look, protection, feel and all that, check out the case mate pop. Its a tight fit so taking the phone in and out take some practice. It gets easier with time though. I have the white one.

The Tough is awesome. Good protection, good grip and the fit is nice. Just don't expect it to be pretty. If anything, it reminds me of a tire because of the hard shell's texture lol.
Haven't seen the Otterbox in person, so can't comment on that.
I have the otterbox and the case mate and they are both nice but I prefer the case mate because of the textured back which adds TONS of grip to the back opposed the the slick plastic on the otterbox.
They look the same

CASE MATE is my favorite I have 5 cases but the Case Mate Tough Case never leaves my phone(unless i am swapping battery or memory card ). Also i have had quite a few (high) drops and it is still running perfect.
what i like about the otter over the case mate is that the ports are all coverd in the otterbox

I purchased the body glove when i bought the phone, let me say worst 20 dollars i spent ever. The thing broke from the hinge in my pocket. Either one of these to options is better then the BG
Along with amazon, I find ebay to be even cheaper.
Saw and felt the Otterbox Commuter for me its a good case. It has good all over protection of the phone, However the back side of the otterbox is kinda sleeky than the back cover of the sensation.
I personally have the the Otterbox Commuter case for the HTC Sensation, so I cannot comment on the Casemate. I like the Otterbox for the design to protect the phone between the impact case and gel case together for protection, plus the headphone and USB port covers. The hard plastic impact case is not the best for grip, and the gel part of the case is a major magnet for lint from your pocket.
Hope that helps!
Edit: OK, missed something myself. Wanted a charging dock that supports a case, so I bought one. But it won't work very well if there is a USB port cover, so just something extra to consider!
Does anyone know if they updated the Case-mate tough case design, where originally they had the mic above the camera lens covered? I could have sworn I saw a thread where Case-mate said they were going to update their case and just uncover for that one hole. Just curious if anyone has bought it lately and knows.
I got mine in January I think and it still has that hole covered up. Is that hole supposed to be the noise cancellation mic? I'd have to ask my wife if my call quality has gotten worse since getting this case, but knowing her she wouldn't notice anyway lol.
If anything, it's probably not hard to just drill a tiny hole into the casing.
I have the otterbox commutor, and its sad to say. It is the first Otterbox ive owned that im disappointed in. Due to the top and bottom being rounded. After alot of use in your pocket the rubber on top and bottom loosens and sags. I bought the Otterbox the day it came out and overnighted it. I have yet to find a decent replacement.
In no way would i bash Otterbox on this one product. I have owned other cases for Iphone 3gs, Mytouch 4g and Nook Color. ALL cases were some of the best i have seen. Quality if usually above the rest. I think it is the design due to the large about of exposed rubber on top and bottom.
Hi guys, i just got a second hand Desire Z in mint condition and I want to keep it that way as much as possible, so I ve been browsing throught eBay for a while now and i can't seem to find anything that would be practical due to the slide keyboard.

Looks like a knock off of the Otterbox except they're using aluminium instead of high impact plastic with a rubber lining. I would be skeptical because the metal might scratch against the phone's exterior during installation and/or use. it's cheap so it might be worth a try.

Been using an Otterbox on my G2 for a couple months (since I broke the LCD without an Otterbox ), highly highly recommend! The price you see on ebay is just about the same as I paid on Amazon. It's worked really really well for me, I was taking the case on/off all the time due to a malfunctioning game causing memory overflows, needing to pull the battery pretty frequently, I've never had an issue with the clips snapping like some people seem to have.
HTH!
The Otterbox is a great case,had a few problems with clips breaking but got sent a replacement, unfortunately the commuter is now out of production so if the case breaks not sure if you could get a replacement from Otterbox
Search amazon for tmobile g2 oem rubberized skin. Adds a little bulk to it but keeps me from dropping it. Keyboard slides out with ease and all other hardware buttons are accessible. Almost provides all around protection with a little extra height from the screen. Has a rubbery feel but still feels great to me. Assuming g2 and dz have the same physical specs...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I have been using the otterbox since i had my g2. I tried the HTC hardshell rubberized case, but went back to otterbox a day later. My only cons with the otterbox is that the clips can break if you are not careful, and it is a bit bulky.
So has anyone gotten the case that was posted first? The metallic one? I'm tempted but I'm not sure if it's good or not.

I wouldn't recommend anything from eBay, I prefer to go with sure things. I got a nice one from my T-Mobile store, it's light, aesthetic, and cushions falls, although of course not as well as Otterbox. I can't post links, but search for Body Glove Matrix Snap-On Cover for T-Mobile G2 on google, and it's the first Amazon.com result, $3.31
In case anyone is interested, I just ordered the metallic case so I'll be receiving it and posting pictures sometime this week or next week
Well I got my case today. It's navy blue and looks amazing. Only problem is that it adds bulk. The tmobile car charger doesn't fit snug with it on. Luckily, the case is real easy to pop off.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA
As promised, here are pictures of the case! I've adjusted the colors on photoshop to make sure the blue is exactly the same as what you get (since the pictures misrepresent it).
PROS
-Looks sweet
-Back looks and feels great
-If you have an ICS rom, the blue and black matches real well
-Lightweight
CONS
-Adds a decent amount of thickness
-The hole for the microusb port is too small for anything to fit snugly
-Tougher to push the camera and power button on top
As you can see in one of the pictures, I had to cut the area around the microusb port so that my car charger and regular charger would be able to fit without falling out. Other than that, I love this case! It's only $5-7 on ebay.
I love the design of this phone so I want the slimmest possible case I can find. Can anyone recommend a very slim case?
same as you, didn't really want to cover it up too much since the design is so nice. I went with this and I think it will be a good match. I have the white phone so I ordered the white case:

You could get the official ones by HTC. They take minimalism to a whole new level bit the downside is its so expensive for a flimy piece of plastic. Or the feather cases by Incipio.

i ordered the black & gray ROCK cases and the case mate barely there case. the ROCK cases look nice but are definitely made for the International X. although they fit the One XL, the camera opening is about1-2 mm lower at the top. not a big issue for me at all. however, the case-mate fits perfectly and looks best! i like how the sides are angled for a perfect fit, e.g., fits the One XL's angled sides like a glove. the obvious downside is the limited protection, e.g., exposed top and bottom.
i sold both ROCK cases to a friend who has the International X and kept the case-mate. i added a couple of pics that (hopefully) show how slim and form-fitting the case-mate case is...
im going with the amzer tpu luxe arigle case had it with captivate and like it and did its job and looks good

You could get the official ones by HTC. They take minimalism to a whole new level bit the downside is its so expensive for a flimy piece of plastic. Or the feather cases by Incipio.

I liked the case for the whole 5 seconds it lasted me
Funny part is that I was planning on spray painting it black cos that case only comes in orange/blue. And while i was taking the case off it snapped on me. Good thing is AT&T warranties out accessories for a whole year. I have a feeling im going to be using that warranty a lot.
You get what you ask for looking for a slim case. They don't offer any protection at all. Which for me is fine. I just don't like how hot the phone gets without a case. I ended up getting the full body zagg.

i broke my orange version of this case too. if you like to swap out cases every other day (like me) this case may not be for you because you will eventually break it, no doubt about it. i've been luckier with my blue case as it hasn't snapped on me yet.
Just ordered an Amzer Shellster case found here:
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-AMZ9380...PA1Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338902558&sr=8-1
It's not the most "minimalist" case out there but it seems sturdy enough for repeated application and removal (which is important to me since I use multiple cases). It also comes with a holster, which most slim cases do not. It also looks like it offers great protection for the camera.

I'll put up some pics and do a "mini-review" if anyone is interested.
So the case-mate barely there doesn't specify on amazon whether its for the international or att version. However I have heard that it fits ours just fine. Can anyone verify?
And also does it come with a screen protector?

Received my Amzer Shellster yesterday. I can confirm that it fits the AT&T version of the HOX.
Pros
Accurate Fit
Cutouts line up perfectly
Protects camera
Front lip keeps screen from touching when face down
Comes with a holster
Cons
Minamilistic case means it provides less protection than traditional cases
Does not cover top and bottom
Soft touch finish can be a little slippery
While the holster uses "pressure" to hold the phone it does not have an actual mechanism to secure it
Overall, the case is really nice for what it's meant to do. It is advertised as a slim case and it provides all the protection that it entails.
I have included some pics in the attachments showing the cutouts and fit, as well as the holster and front lip.
I got the case mate barely there. Overall I really like it, I wish it was a little thicker because the camera still sticks out a little.

Purchased this as well. Very small and seems to do the trick. I wish it had a stand though.
I recommend the cruzerlite. Only $10

I found something that will look sleek for my new phone. I was looking into cases, and this Ultra Thin just caught my attention. Placed in my order from Cretouch store. The price is decent and they offer free shipping too!

Are you talking about this?
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/one-x/htc-one-x-ultra-thin-air-series.html
"Will the Ultra Thin Air fit the AT&T version of the HTC One X?
We don't recommend the Ultra Thin Air with the AT&T version as this case was originally designed for the international version. The AT&T version of the phone is slightly longer. While the case my be compatible, it may not be a perfect fit."

Thanks for the pics and review. How long did shipping take? Your review should have its own thread, those photos and review is great.
Plus was it really only $14.99?

You're welcome . Shipping was pretty fast, I bought the one that is "sold and shipped" by Amazon. And yeah, I got it for $14.99.
Ok so ive had the blue/black Otterbox commuter now for a few weeks and I did like it at first but now im just sick of it, makes the phone a little to thick for how often i use it and just has gotten on my nerves, anyone able to recommend something with about the same protection maybe a little bit more thin?
also, ill probably ship this one off to someone when i get a replacment
Felt the same way with my commuter. From what I've red its the thinnest one of that type of case. The tridents look cooler, but myself I just got an incipio feather shine and I love it. Provides more drop protection than you would think, but looks way cool
Same protection? Get the Incipio Silicrylic case, looks tons better than the Otter box.
If you want a sleeker case overall, get the Seidio Surface case, with kickstand.

yeah i been eyeballing the seido....hows the grip on it?, if the commuter had grip i could deal with the thickness
Pretty good, not a glossy finish and the kickstand doesn't add a weird bump like with the Seidio Active. Lmk if you want pics comparing the normal Surface with the Surface kickstand.

sure
Had a Best Buy gift card so I grabbed that platinum series case/holster combo and I like it. Pretty protective and slimmer than the Commuter for sure.
I used to use the Commuter on all my iPhones, but the one for the One X is just too hard to get on and off for me. I wanted a slimmer case that didn't leave the camera lens hanging out the back (and I didn't want to break the bank either). I found this one on eBay and it's fantastic. And only $7.95, too. The seller ships super fast, too (from California to Kentucky in 2 days).

Incipio NGP here. I like the softer feel and the decent protection around the edges. The included screen protector is rather lousy, but you can use the coupon to get XtremeGuard for next to nothing. You will have to cut it down a bit to work well with the ngp and not lift at the edges.
i havent gotten mine yet for the One X but i ordered the Barely There case by Case Logic, i had it for my Inspire 4g and another for my Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, cant wait to get mine for this phone, they are thing light and stay on, they arent going to protect from drops like the commuter but they will keep it from getting scratched to hell on the back.

Will not protect the lens cover at all. If you are worried about "scratching like hell" you might want something more substantial.
really cause the other two i have had were fine even the Inspire which had the lens that flared out like the HOX kinda sucks now ill look into another case maybe the incipio feather? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007ZT4UWI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 or this as from the pictures it looks like it helps with the lens.

I ordered both the feather and the ngp from Incipio. Sent the feather back to because the protection was too minimal. Love the ngp so far. Not too bulky not too flimsy. The provided screen protector sucks big time tho. Incipio has versions for both hox models make sure you get the right one. Order from Incipio direct, indirect same price

I am more worried about the side of the case being so flexible. Compared to my old HTC Sensation's otterbox case which was more rigid.
Apart from that, i like the case.
I dropped mine and cracked the screen, it was seriously the smallest drop ever for a phone and still broke. Most fragile phone I've ever had given how many other of my HTC's have been used like a football.
So once its fixed/replaced, I wont be taking a 2nd chance despite hating cases.
Thought about the Incipio feather Ultralight but based on the comments, sounds like it won't offer any decent protection. Might order the NGP Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case instead. But from the photos, does the case sit over the buttons or are there cut outs?
What are the other options as far as minimal size but decent protection? I'll take my chances breaking it again before using some bulky ugly case!
HTC - NGP
Pretty sure there is only a single NGP that fits the international and AT&T version. The case covers the buttons but all are functional. I purchased the Nillkin Scub first which is very sleek but didn't offer a substantial lip around the screen. The NGP offers good protection without being bulky. Because it's designed for the international version the cutouts don't line up perfectly (microphone and speaker) but all the buttons and ports work fine. Had to make a small cut to get one of my power cords to fit.
