If you buy the matte black or white versions that show on Case Mates website, you'll be fine. After going through 5+ cases, I love the matte black barely-there case. It's also the best performing case when it comes to signal strength.
Beware of the mirrored silver versions, which block the GPS signal.
+1 for the matte black barely there. I've got this case and it's great. Offers no protection whatsoever for the front of the screen, but as long as your careful, it shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah i really only need protection for the back. I have the invisasheild and it works. I dropped my inspire on solid concrete from about 5 feet high and hit perfectly on the screen,I mean flat. And not even a knick. This was with no case too. So as long as the back is protected I'll be fine

+1 for the barely there. Been using it about three weeks now. Love it.. No issues with signal or gps. Great case all around for what it is and what you need it to do.
I have the barley there case also. ONLY downside is that it makes the phone a bit slippery to hold. It adds almost no larger profile to the phone though, and weighs nothing
Have one also (white one, my chic has the pink one) had it on my phone for a few months now and its great. No issues with anything at all. Well worth the money if your looking to get one.
Just got my Barely There casemate (pink) and I love it !! I'm a big fan of CaseMate though.. also had one for my BB.
been looking for a new case ... my otterbox is too damn slippery.
thanks for the mini-reviews.

If you like the strength of the Otterbox you should look at the Casemate Pop case for the Inspire. It's a bit bulkier than the Barely There cases but it has grip on the sides so it's not slippery. It's probably not quite as durable as on Otterbox but it's a pretty good case. I've liked mine a lot so far.
Bought the pink barley there case and I love it! its not too bulky either. Its perfect.
I think i'm finally gonna pull the trigger on one of these, I'd rather be able to go to like Best Buy to check it out 1st hand...
I have the Speck case now and it's large profile rubs me the wrong way sometimes...
I'm thinking of getting this case for my Inspire, and I can't tell from the pictures how accessible the volume rocker and the power/lock button are. Anyone who owns the case can you comment on the ease of use of the physical buttons on this phone with this case on?
I got my case from ATT when I got my phone. It's the speck hard case

Ok, I finally got one!
I was heading home and stopped at a local mall that I haven't been to in years.
I love it, its so slim and sleek and almost feels like it is not there.
I know it doesn't offer much protection but its great.
It also came with 1 screen protector which I thought was weird...unless the jackass forgot to put it back in..
Also I grabbed the last one they had, in matte black.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Mine came with one, but I choose not to use the protectors. The Gorilla glass is tough enough for my personal use style. 6mths and still not a single scratch. (I bet I just jinxed it damnit..)
I have this case as well and I like it. I have a bigger, bulkier case that I can switch to if I think there is a better chance of my phone being dropped or bumped around. There is a very small difference in reception but not much.
Great case for everyday use. Doesn't stick inside my pocket and it's lightweight and thin.

Anyone recommend a nice durable case that offer the most overall protection, with preferably not making it bulky? And what's a nice screen protector? I'm not really rough on my phones, but stuff happens. I just want to be protected.
I came across HTCDepot.com, is that generally a nice, legit site? I came across another one like HTCSensation4gaccessories.com or something, and it doesn't seem too legit.
Thanks
Here's my setup:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=ef4f8d65c98ae0a31c33842ab6b7dec1
A great case. Offers excellent protection, nice grip, and looks cool
For a screen protector:

Excellent setup for protection and low-profile, IMO

I have the Incipio NGP. http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
This things is probably one of the best cases I've ever had as far as my uses go. It's a great fit, extremely durable, and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
My only complaint is that the cutout for the USB port is a little tight, so a lot of third party USB cables will push the case around when you plug them in. The HTC one is fine because the housing on it is nice and compact, but the bigger/more squared off housing on a lot of other cables just doesn't fit as well.
I use Ghost Armor for the screen, mainly because there's a kiosk at the mall near work, and they'll install it for me so I don't get air bubbles, etc.

This one is a lot more rigid than the one T-Mo had from what I can tell.
It has almost no flex around the edges once it's in place. The T-Mo one seemed kind of "floppy" to me.

No, it's not typical silicon case. It's much harder material and does not attract any dirt or dust. This is far more like TPU, but all the TPU cases I've seen for this phone were glossy, this has a matte finish.

CaseMate "Barely There" is the one for me.
Its wafer thin, very strong, and adds that little extra grip that the Sensation needs to stop it sliding around in your hand.
Cant reccomend it highly enough. Attached are some pics i took of it.
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.

Also I have received Tough Case and Barely There Case today from case-mate.
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).

I know this thread is a bit old, but just got this case in the mail today. From the experienced guys who have this case...what is the best way to start taking the case off?
Work from the bottom up? Bottom down? Or sides? For the life of me I have no clue Feel like I'm gonna split the phone in half, trying to get this on or off!
Thanks!
Fits like a glove as it is meant for the ATT/Rogers version. All holes line up. The rubber is tougher and less shiny than the normal rubber otterbox uses (which i thought thank god) The only thing i dont like/not used to yet is how the phone mounts into the belt clip. You have to slowly "wedge it out" Here are some pictures. Any questions? The temperature after playing a game for 25 min is 43c (without case it was around 39c)

Whats your opinion on the power button? Is difficult to press?
Very easy. I notice i dont have to push as hard as my ebay rubber case i had before. Volume buttons are also easily pushed. The screen protector takes a bit away from the clarity. Still debating on popping it off or not.

I recommend just popping it out, especially if you already use a screen protector. It comes out rather easy and the adhesive strip can be pulled out in practically one piece. The only thing I would suggest is to use something like a small piece of duct tape to remove the left over residual adhesive from inside the frame.
Does anyone have the purple and teal otterbox? I really want one!
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
They have not been released anywhere yet. ATT nor Otterbox carry them yet. I was told within the next few weeks.
It depends on your area, because most ATT store here in Hawaii had both Commuter and Defender Cases, I originally went with the commuter case but felt it added too much thickness and took away the design of the phone, so bought Htcs slim case. The have improved a lot in terms of rubber material and fit, especially coming from the evo 3d case.

I'm trying to find the black commuter case for my rogers one x.
Where did you buy yours?
I saw the Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the Galaxy S4. I read that there were some issues with previous versions of it for the S3. I was just wondering since some of you guys have one... Does it protect well? It just seems that it wouldn't protect the phone well enough. Also are the buttons too sensitive?
How does it feel? Is the back of the case have more of a plastic feel or rubbery feel to it? And is it worth the $30?
One more thing... I read that tempered glass screen protectors are good. I saw that they were about $30 and I don't really know. Are the normal plastic ones okay?
Thanks.
I have it and LOVE it

Could you explain why?
I had the yellow neo hybrid case and returned it to amazon after ten days. The auxiliary cord in my car wouldn't fit, it was rather blocky feeling in my hand (I'm a male with normal sized hands). The main thing that made me return it was the chipping of the glossy coat after ten days, and I have NEVER misused or dropped my phone.
It looks awesome, however.
I decided to just get UAG, probably going to be better for my needs than the neo hybrid was.

Buttons are extremely easy to push. Whenever I am taking it out of my pocket (business slacks) I always end up pressing buttons. It makes the phone uncomfortable to use. I kind of got used to it but after switching to a tpu case that has rounded corners you don't miss the neo hybrid in your hands. The back feels like matte rubber not grippy at all. I never dropped my phone in this case so don't know how it would hold up. The incompatibility with most micro usb cables pissed me off too.
With that said it does look good I actually had a few people ask what kind of phone that was and complimented the case. I like having my phone feel safe in my hand more than looks I suppose so I haven't used it in a few weeks
Ive had it in my cart for a few days now and cant decide if I should get it or not, 30 bucks isnt too bad but I already paid that for my sview case and I dont want to have one or the other laying around but man it looks nice as hell
absolutely love mine. I use it with the Glast.r (however you spell it lol, it's late) and one of their aluminum home button pieces. Such a nice setup imo.

got it and i love it also got a cheap knockoff on ebay from china for cheap but the quality isnt there although it works. The Spigen works great if your looking for a cool protective case for your S4.
obviously if you drop it from a few stories it might not protect your phone as a otterbox but you get style and just everyday protection. You have to ask yourself what kinda protection you want for your new device and how prone you are abusing it.
I love mine cause the buttons are easier to press and it adds a certain weight to the phone I thought the s4 was too light. Plus the jellybean buttons feel awesome. Only thing though makes it look like an iPhone! Ain't nobody got time to be an iSheep!

i have both a slim armor and neo hybrid. imo the neo hybrid with a tempered glass solution (mine is MIME) and an aluminum button is pure class. i thought i'd switch between the two cases but I have a feeling my slim armor is just gonna sit around and not get used
Looks and build quality wise the Sgp Neo Hybrid is stunning - no excess material anywhere and an excellent fit. But ergonomics and protection wise it is not so good. There is barely any lip to speak of and the main camera lens is only about 1mm away from the surface you place your phone on. The squared off design also makes the phone uncomfortable to hold. I have slung mine in a drawer and am using a UAG case which although not finished as well seems much better for protection. I do not think the Sgp case is worth 30 dollars when you can pick up a UAG case (including a screen protector) for only 5 dollars more.

My friend got one, and he thinks is pretty awesome tho there is a big problem with the aux connection for bigger aux-cabels
I love mine, the onl down side is I had to buy a different dock because the oem samsung wouldnt work with the case. Its ok though cause I got a sweet one from Rok Form that adjusts to any case. Ive had it for 3 weeks now and no chips or anything so if people say theirs chipped its because they dropped it. 30.00......worth it.

I've been reading that a lot of people are complaining about the color flaking off with minor use. Any signs of that for you guys?

Have had the metal slate for around three weeks and no problems with flaking.

Anyone one found a good screen protector and case?
Otterbox ordered through Verizon is good.
I got this one http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...e=UTF8&qid=1378332217&sr=1-1&keywords=xt1080m and love it flexible but still stiff not like jelly and if fits like a glove but very easy to pop off if you want. It doesn't even look or feel like a case is on to be honest. I used to always take by bionic case off at home because it was to bulky not this one it's just perfect and at 10 bucks it's a steal.
I'm looking for a horizontal kickstand case

I have had diztronic cases on my last 4 phones and now my maxx and I love them. They fit so tight that no dirt gets under the case. I never liked cases on my phones in the past but these ones seem like part of the phone.

I also ordered the Otterbox through Verizon. Got it a couple days ago. Surprisingly it did not add much bulk to the phone. Only complaint, I'd like the back to be less smooth and a little more textured. Other than that its a great case.

Otterbox would be for if you want more protection on the phone.
If you want to go minimal, get the Diztronic TPU case like bigv5150 mentioned.
The Otterbox Defender will give you an integrated screen protector. I'm just using the overpriced ones from Verizon, which I'm not a huge fan of, but I did also order some cheapy "Supershields" screen protectors from Amazon. I haven't used one yet, but I am not expecting much from $2 protectors. They come in a 6-pack, however, so even if they are crap, at least I can switch it out whenever one of them gets scratched up.

Did yours come with a screen protector in it? I just got mine in the mail from the verizon site and mine did not come with one even thought it mentioned that it did. Others seem to be reporting that theirs was missing as well.
No screen protector in it... Oddly enough its a different color than what's advertised on otterboxes website. Must be a Verizon exclusive

I really liked the Diztronic case for my Bionic, but I think the new bumper is the way to go with the Maxx. It apparently isn't available for the Ultra or Mini, at least for now.
Shown in red below to make it more visible, but mine is dark gray. I like the way the carbon/Kevlar back shows through.

The new defenders are a lot better than what my galaxy nexus had. The reinforcement on the belt clip is different, less fragile in appearance. Same for the snaps around the case. Easy to remove too. And the rubber doesn't pull off either without opening a port! Needs colors though.
A google search revealed Trident cases specifically for maxx. Not listed on company website but available for purchase from online retailer.
