This a weird request/question,
Does anyone know of a store that sells the HTC Sensation 4G cases (TPU or any other kind) in Canada?
I WOULD buy from ebay, but for the US citizens out there that don't know, there's a postal strike on, and I can't find anyone who ships via FedEX or UPS...
Any stores/locations would be great,
Or if one of you wants to sell one via eBay to me, with FedEX/UPS shipping, that would be awesome too.
I'm thinking if no one has any, I'll wait a few weeks until Bell starts selling, and just go into a Bell store and try there.
im in the same boat, canada post really ****ed me over on this one, and the TMO store i bought mine at didnt have any accessories available at the time...
hopefully some cell fone kiosks in malls will have some, just gotta look :/

I will post pics tomorrow night when I have access to a camera. Don't got 1 at the moment.
No product link, I bought it at one of the many phone stores at Pmall. It's the one in the "middle" aisles that is closer to Steeles.
It's near SIG Electronics, and it sells Mobilicity plans. It usually has a table outside their store selling some random long distance plans.
Well the back to work bill finally got pushed through so Canada Post should be back soon, then ebay choices should be available again.
also have a look here, a lot of info including official products.

Hi,
Wondering if there are any other members out there who are importing the T-mobile Sensation 4G into Canada?
Maybe we can share our experiences and figure out the best options.
The device will have to be sim unlocked, thus far there has been only one confirmed site to have working unlock codes.
http://www.unlock-network.com/
Lowest price online is $579.50, but still in pre-order state. I am assuming that will change on the official release date of 06/15
http://negrielectronics.com/htc-sensation-4g-t-mobile-unlocked.html
I have never dealt with them, just found it doing some searching. Any info on this company?
I bought one on Ebay for $590. Hopefully I will receive it by Friday.
Congrats!
Was it unlocked for $590
If so that seems like a very reasonable price.
How much was the shipping?

Unfortunately it wasn't unlocked but I will definitely try the unlocking site you provided since It seems to have worked for one individual.
Shipping was $19 for USPS priority mail, so I paid a total of $609 USD
Hopefully the strike wont affect my package.

goin' to florida months end and will pick one up there and ask them to unlock it seeing that i'm canadian (may work)!! then try it on wind and see how it goes...
if anyone finds a good deal that ships to Canada pls let us know too
and btw if anybody has tried any of those sites, would u pls tell how much it cost u?
I have a US social security number as I went to college in California. I will try to get it on contract and cancel after 15 days. With ETF it will be close to $400.
Got mine from omega cellular (i. Think thats the name) in Edmonton. Paid 650 i beleive plus $10 overnight fedex. Came unlocked. Works perfect on wind.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
any updates on any of those unlocking websites?
which ones cheaper/faster/etc?
So a quick update on my end.
I ordered the phone off expansys.ca on Friday night.
Not the cheapest of sites, but felt it was worth it in case of issues and I need to do returns/exchanges.
With HST it came to ~$671 (I also paid for express shipping)
Its supposed to come unlocked.
Here is the link... expansys.ca
if you do decide to order from them, the only other tip is coupon code LSJUNE10 will get you 10 bucks off (I assume it expires at the end of june?)
Will update once I get it
i ordered mine off tmobile, which means that i will have it LOCKED on tmobile.
still looking around to find a way to unlock it
If you're in Vancouver, you can buy it from CellworldCo for $529 + tax unlocked! That is cheaper than the T-mobile price of $550 + $20 for unlocking.
They ship elsewhere in Canada for $30.
I bought mine at pacific mall $600 no tax with free car charger. its sim free unlock. There is another sttore at pacific mall that sells it for $600 tax free with free car charger, screen protector and case but they were out of stock.
Ahhh good to know there are still nice deals to be had at Pacific Mall... Haven't been there in years

So my sensation order with expansys is not going so well. After jumping through hoops today to get the alternative shipping address cleared they said the bank won't authorize the charge?
So I think I am going to cancel this order and give cellworldco a try unless there are better deals out there?
Too bad I'm not heading to Toronto anytime soon or I'd give pacific mall a shot, does anyone know if those tiny stores have a website?

Last time I checked, I didnt see any postings.
It is kinda annoying to wait until somebody post one up to purchase one.
Negri Electronics or GSM Nation have it unlocked with the new codes released yesterday. 621 CAD(549.99 plus the crazy taxation that funds their universal healthcare) is roughly around 637 USD as of today. From my experience, you can roughly get it for 640 something after googling coupon codes and google checkout with Negri. In a way it's cheaper since you don't have to pay for the unlock code. Your next best option would be to visit our friendly neighbors to the North and buy from a Bell store, then try to get a tax refund at the border. However unless you live near the US border, I'm pretty sure, traveling to Canada would offset any savings you could get by buying in person.

I wish I was close to Canada. I live in SC so it is a lil bit of a drive
Wow $640 is way too much for that phone. I love and everything but that price is pretty absurd.
It's a very strange sensation (pun intended) reading about americans coming up North to buy something up here.
It's always the other way around. Not available in canada, no shipping to Canada, this COMEDY CENTRAL video is not available for you peasants.
Canadians going down to the states to avoid tax, buy cheaper products, etc. I could go on and on.
Why can't americans buy it from their own stores down there, I thought it was out there earlier than Bell released it up here?

Haha, it's opposite land. Canada has been improving in getting cellphones in a timely manner, especially with the XPERIA series. The iPhone 4 came unlocked here, Nexus S, etc...
Anyways, you'd be correct, the Americans got the Sensation before we did but they got the 1700mhz version for T-Mobile. This is the same frequencies that Wind and Mobilicity use here. Unfortunately, Rogers/Bell/Telus (at AT&T in the States) doesn't operate at 1700mhz and instead operate on 850mhz/1900mhz, which is what the Bell Sensation was released at.

Lucky you dont live in Australia because its AUS$792 (US$852) here. Australia! land of the almighty ripoff!!!
Im offering $100 (including cost of the case) to anyone in the US that will ship me an otterbox defender case to canada.
I phoned otterbox today twice to see why some of the US had them and they couldnt figure it out. Its not even in their system yet.
thats lame they don't have them... i was just looking at one a few minutes ago at the at&t store I work at.

looks like at&t has them at stores, do you want me to ship you one? just pay the cost, no need for any premium.
I will do it to if ya need me to
I live very close to the border to Canada in my state [cheaper shipping?] If you would like me to do it. [Whitefish, Montana 59937 --- If you want to calculate cost]
It seems all right.
I'll PayPal someone if they can send me a Ballistic or Otterbox Commuter...Don't think I can afford $100...How about a group shipment to the folks in Toronto?
I wouldn't accept the 100$ Grant anyways lol. 10$ would be nice [for the gas/time required to do it] but if you feel like paying the full 100 or whatnot, Throw it to one of the Dev's working on the AT&T Bootloader unlock, Or donate to the site ^,^
UPS is dumb I want to find out how much it will cost between direct and regular service. Its just giving me next day service which im not going to pay $91 to get it shipped..rofl!
If it could be shipped tomorrow id like to have it by next tuesday or so. My postal code is T5M-0K9
Donating to the devs is a good idea. Will donate the leftovers (after shipping and case)
I've pulled Fedex at 17.58 USD for ~5 Day Ground Service.
I don't have all the info's for what it asked to give a more estimated price [customer pickup?] Because I'm unfamiliar with shipping to Canada, But that's what I've found.
Its gotta be UPS or USPS. FedEx is 1 hour away from me
Ill do it.
I am going to the att store tomorrow to exchange my hox.
So if your interested i can send it over. UPS
you could try http://www.blueshop.ca/htc-one-x-cases.htm
even if they dont have it, you could talk to them, they might be able to get it for you.
Dude there on amazon.com for cheaper then what att wants.

I order my ballistic from ebay either, they told me it will take 4-7 business days to
canada.
Mods you can delete this. Managed to find a company on amazon.com to ship to me for next week for $75
pm me if you're still looking for a case, i'm about to buy one as well.
I really like the look of the Cruzerlite Persona cases and I want to order one, but on their site shipping is $12 to Canada, which is almost as much as the case. Do you guys know any other places to get it that offers reasonable shipping to Canada? The one I am looking for is the UK Flag.
Have you bothered to search?
Amazon...eBay...Google search....
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda app-developers app
I have tried searching. They don't have it on Amazon Canada or Ebay.
You Canucks have it tough when it comes to buying accessories, try emailing the maker to see if they have a stockist in Canada you can use.

having the same problem with a lot of accessories for my phone, if you do find a site that gives good shipping rates to Canada please post thanks.
Has this device got a planned UK release date at all? I cant find any info about when I would be able to walk into a brick and mortar shop and pick one up. It was announced 2-3 months ago, reviewed a month ago and still nothing. Its ridiculous. Same with the htc desire 820. Its like they are phantom phones. No info on expansys, cw or simplyelectronics websites. All a bit worrying.
Anyone know anything about a UK release?

Dude that is crazy. I am using the European model with 2gb and came from a z2 with 3gb and this is faster. The chinese model is problematic for UK users but if you prefer more numbers then pay extra. I paid £355 for mine and its best phone to date. I have owned loads or I would not be on xda
32gb on ebay for £419.99
guys in UK, if you want the 32gb, there is some from HongKong selling 5 on eBay
£419.99 for 1
