I was looking for battery doors for my HTC Sensation and I came across this nice looking one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-HT...I&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=719848830771970651
I wonder if it will work the same as the one that comes with the Sensation. It looks a lot better in my opinion
looks great. can't wait til they start making some that aren't dual tone and without that ugly curve design.
1. @ $81 it's kind of spendy
2. Does not look the same as our battery covers, will antennas work fine?
3. Definitely better design then TMOUS ugly tri-colored one.
Thanks for the info
You know that's the housing AND the battery door (three pieces) right? I saw just the back cover selling on ebay for around $52.
Here is the back only
http://cgi.ebay.com/REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-COVER-HTC-SENSATION-/320715342088?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item4aac1fc108
It is still rather expensive, even considering how it needs to have the antennas.
I'm hoping it will come down in price once more sellers get into it. However this has helped me decide that I won't use a case for the back (was just looking for an excuse to swap backs covers)
Not bad. But yeah I'm going to wait till it get lower

Who need case after that? If it scratches then just replace cover (they will get cheaper) which is the whole body! How cool is that!
It's awesome! But what happens if you drop the phone? I like using a case for shock absorption!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
You definitely make a valid point BonesRed.
However in order to achieve good shock absorption the case would add more bulk than I would ever consider using. The thickest case product I use on phones are the variety of 'skins' or 'shields', and those offer almost no shock absorption value.
Also this gives me an excuse to swap the tri-colored back for one that is dual-colored, which IMO looks better and prob should have been released this way in the first place.

I love the stock back, im surprised so many hate it.
Someone should make a battery cover with a protective rubber layer already attached.
Anybody knows where to get the back cover for t-mobile with 3 antenna connectors on top part? I placed an order with waresphere and they told me they don't have it in stock and raising the price when it becomes available.
Hello, first excuse my english I'm french.
I do not know if any of you to change the casing of the sensation, but no longer mine, if somebody is selling the original. I am close to you buy it, Thanks
I hope the price goes down in the next few months, i'll get one eventually

I have one like that. And I modded a moneyclip on the backside. Now its phone cover and wallet 2 in 1.
I have that case. It's really good and doesn't add too much thickness to the phone. It fits well too. I've used two cases with my phone and this us by far the better one.

no case, only a leather bag.
Case Mate Tough, possibly the best fit i've come across.

This leather flip case that i order the day before yesterday turned up today and the phone fits nice and snug. i dont expect it to last long, possibly a month or 2? but good for keeping as a spare.

I'm nothing but happy with my Otterbox Commuter for my Desire. +1.

Hi all, I have one question, do any of you have a armband for the sensation that you use? I've searched around,and all I can find are genetic ones, nothing specific for this phone.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I would love to see one of these too. I use Adidas micoach a lot and need a good armband case.
I bought this one last week. It won't let me put external link here yet (damn!), so search for "Black Sport Arm Band Case Cover For HTC Sensation 4G" on ebay.com.
I'll let you know how does it fit (or I put some pictures in here) after I receive it.
lol its looks like its for a evo/incredible intstead of sensation

I got the same armband off ebay. It's well worth the cheap price tag. However, the screen is unusable while the phone is in the armband and I have to take my case off for it to fit. These aren't problems for me personally.

Hmm not good, I need a armband and also be able to use the screen, I suppose I could just use a huge rubber band strapping my phone to my arm.

Hiya,
I picked up on of these : Tune Belt AB83 Sport Armband for HTC Sensation from Mobilefun ( Can't post a link as yet sorry )
Its a little bit more expensive than the Ebay items but the phone is held perfectly and the the screen is fully usable. Its very comfortable too, I've had it on for a couple of hours when I've been out and about on my bike.
ps.. don't shoot.. although I've been a member for a couple of years and used some of the amazing ROMs and tips from this site.. this is my first noobie post !! eeeep
Doesn't look like they ship to US Anyone got any US ideas? The ones on Amazon don't seem particularly great. Best one ive had is this for my N1:
http://www.amazon.com/Tuneband-Incredible-Grantwood-Technologys-Protector/dp/B003GMHJAS
Sorry for my late response, I was few weeks out of my home, where the arm band came. Have some pictures for you. The quality is quite high (considering the low price). It fits well, except the top hole for inserting phone (the phone is kind of exposed there). Also it is possible to use touch screen over the plastic protection in the front, but it is not very comfortable. You have to press it hard.
Hi guys, I resume this old post cause I have the same "issue" (to find a good ArmBand) and I just got this phone.
As you all can see from my signature I had a Desire till yesterday and I've already been through this research. The best one I could find at the time was an ILuv ArmBand made for IPhone 3Gs which costed me around 30€..very comfortable & practical, it actually looked like the one you can see in the post above myone. On the other hand my excitment vanished away after a few jogging session: made of neoprene it was not enough "water proof" & since I REALLY sweat VERY much when going for fitness, after a month or so I had to send my beloved Desire to the HTC customer care, where they informed me they had to replace the whole motherboard due to water infiltration & charged me around 170€ for that!!!!!!
So..my question to all of you is: IF you think you sweat a lot when you go running & you found a good armband to use in your activities, did you experience any similar problem? Which armband did you choose then?
Well long story short, I got a fairly nasty nick on the original case, top left corner, and it was driving me nuts, so I decided to give replacing it a try. Changed out the ATT case, for the original Desire HD case, I think it looks much better now

Has anyone seen or found a case for the Samsung Infuse that has a kick-stand in it?
This would allow you to place the phone on a table and not have to lean it against things to watch movies or whatever.
Thanks
I've seen them on e-bay.

Sprint has a very nice carbon fiber case with a built in kick stand for their sgs2. I know the screen size is the same as the infuse but I believe its thinner and the form factor is more curved, not sure if it will fit.

i have the exact same thing at home for my nightstand!
While it is not a case I found something that works well for me. I use 2 binder clips as it makes a great stand for me and I can keep it in my pocket for when I need it.
Take a Large Clip and 1 Medium binder clip.
The large one keep like normal while the medium one you turn both of the silver rings to one side so you have a backwards L with the back part sticking straight up.
Then take the large clips and clip it on the silver rings as clost to the black as you can.
This holds the phone very very well and I am able to watch movies during my lunch with a normal head set pluged into it. So this does mean my head truns some but not to much and it does not move at all. This works with or without the silicon ruber thing around the phone. With out the rubber you can also do it with the small and medium binders to make it even smaller. I think lifehacker has pic on doing this.
I hope this will help someone.
i keep this in my wallet..
