Is the only case in the store the silicone one on their site?
They had a body glove one there also.
With an obnoxious clip, lol. Do they have any not silicone and not stupid?
The body glove case can have the belt clip removed. The case fits great.
Go on Amazon and get a 3 dollar silicon case man. So cheap and such good quality. On my phone or I'd link to exact one.

i bought the silicone because I needed a case asap while I wait for the HTC one. In the mean while i got a tpu amzer case that should be comming next week.
The silicon case is nice for a silicon case but tbh i dont like silicon cases, they come of, look ugly and bulky and attract lint. I saw the body glove but it looked ugly with the 2 colors (why not make it all black body glove, **** duo tones) and its pricey at 30 bucks (i will only pay 30 bucks for seidio, not bodyglove).

I'm still considering which case to choose after having sensation for 1 month
Currently im thinking either Capdase flip leather or Case Mate Touch/Barely There
Capdase look cool, but i doesnt really like flip leather and it may look big n thick
For casemate, it just cover the back panel & sideway, but screen is unprotected(eventhough I have screen protector)
I afraid if i put in my pocket with keys or coins or hit something when i walking
any suggestion?

If putting your phone in your pocket, I suggest a cover of some sort. Screen protectors can only protect so much.

Ive had everything from otterbox cases, seidio cases, and some **** t-mobile ones they throw in. These TPU cases seem to hold up just as good if not better than most, also they dont seem to show wear which is nice. My seidio incase looked like **** after a few months of use and i paid $35 for it shipped vs. $8 for the TPU. All the leather cases look nice for about 2 weeks but with pocket use they noticeably wear and are bulkyyy.
As far as putting in your pocket with keys i wouldn't risk it but my roommate has a sensation and he keeps his in his pocket with his car keys. He has a TPU on it and NO screen protector, hes got a little to much faith in the Gorilla Glass on our phones, only marks hes gotten is around the speaker theres some small scratches from keys.
Best combo ive found is to get a TPU and find a store near by that will professionally install a Zagg or another top brand screen protector. Woodfeild mall by me has a stand that installs Zagg sheilds and ive used them since my G1 days. They arent 100% scratch proof like they all claim to be tho, meaning the screen protector can scratch over time but the important thing your PHONE wont get the scratch. Also Zagg and others similar to them have life long warranties anytime the protector looks a little worn or anything you get a free one to install yourself or its $5 for them to professionally install it. Comes out to around $23 bucks for both and ur phone will be well protected. If your really clumbsy and tend to drop **** i would recommend getting an otterbox commuter case, they add a little bulk but better protection vs. TPU. Only thing with cases like Otterbox's is they have exposed rubber so us pocket users tend to end up with lint alll over the exterior of our cases.
edit: didnt mean for this to be so long just popped a couple addys for class and am in over achiever mode lol hope this helps
Ive just ordered: a black armour case, some 3m di-noc to wrap it and a zagg screen protector all for under £20 !($30)
Will report back with pics soon in a new thread
I've got a case-mate barely there (the white flavor) and a Martin Fields screen protector.
Thanks a lot
Well would you go for cover type (eg case-mate) or flip leather type ?
I bought 3 different cases for my HTC Sensation, 2 Case-Mate and one a relatively unknown brand Momax. Links below.
As for Momax, i bought it on eBay for USD$11.99 and i must say i am happy with the purchase. The TPU is thinner than the Case-Mate Gelli Case and there's holes which didn't show up on the Case-Mate. It fits the Sensation nicely and most of the time i am using the Momax case compared to the other 2 Case-Mate cases.
As i am a user who have not posted anything before, i am not allowed to post the URL for Momax casing. Do a search at eBay for ioomobile.
I found my cheap silicone case works really well, even with the phone residing in my pocket most of the time (No screen protector)
Do find I clean my screen most nights as it does get dirty throughout the day
Got it from amazon uk for £2.00 (Cant find the actual product though)
Loving my smoke grey TPU case. Highly recommended.

+1 for the TPU case. I've got the black one and it really ads very minimal bulk with a lot more peace of mind for protection.
I've got this Incipio case and I LOVE it. It's a TPU style, with a matte finish so it's not tacky in your pocket nor does it get oily/fingerprints. I also pushed my phone off of my desk the other day and it landed square on its face. The case lip kept the screen from getting f**ked.

I am also using the incipio case and I gotta say it is awesome

Hi everybody, this is my first post on these forums, although I have been reading them for over a year! Anyways, I was looking at buying a case for my Sensation that would keep it safe, but at the same time not adding to much bulk. I have narrowed it down to 4 cases, that I'm sure will all offer the level of protection I need, I am just wondering which one is the least bulky and slimmest.

I was looking at the Seidio with the kickstand, but I don't like all the exposed rubber as that would make it more lint-prone, and more difficult to get out of the pocket(one of my top pritorities).
Thanks in advance!!!

the otterbox's rubber on its case looked low grade compared to the seidios and case mates. it looked like what trident was using..
i was looking into the naztech but i didnt like how there is a bar on the top of the screen lol. id like to see a review on it. might get the case mate pop
If it helps your decision I had one otterbox which I had to have replaced thru otterbox due to silicone stretches and the phone will actually slide up and down in the case. had the replacement for about a month and just took off the second one today due to complaints of me sounding muffled and any back to the old dependable tpu case even though it is a ***** to get out my pocket and attracts lint it is my fave

Thanks for the info, i don't know though, was the otterbox easy to get in/out of your pocket.

Yeah it was super easy due to the hard plastic that covered the silicone layer that is one thin I miss about it and am still on the fence about putting it back on. I will say my phone survived a few high drops ( I am a cable tech and it fell from a ladder about 18 feet to concrete with out a scratch)

Wow, you just made my decision harder.... !!! Haha thanks though, i'm sure i can't go wrong with either of these cases, but I just want to know which is the best.
OK, I'm pretty sure that the Tough Case and Vertex are out:
Tough Case: I saw that the rubber wraps around the screen on the phone, and can attach lint, also, it does seem a bit bulky.
Vertex: Lack of information is difficult. From the pics I don't think it'll work out for me.
Personally I use zagg skins now. They are seriously epic. I have always hated all phone cases because of the bulk they add no matter how thin. But the zagg skins are tough...real tough. And add essentially no weight/thickness to the device. When I got mine i was trying to scratch the back and screen to no avail. zagg also offers a lifetime warranty, but I have no idea what their limits are on it. Plus you can customize it with any picture you want.
Just my opinion. Good luck with your choice.
I have both Case Mate POP and Otterbox Commuter... otterbox has far better plastic because it cant get scratched at all. The case mate pop looks like it's 10 years old after a week. Still I user POP rather than the otterbox because the rubber on otterbox is like a MAGNET for all the dirt that is around you. I used to clean the rubber, and put it in my pocket, and when I get it out it's entirely covered with dust... I don't even know what were they thinking when they were making it. Another thing about the otterbox is that the earphone jack cover never fits like it is supposed to.
I ordered this a week ago because it looks funny
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-Sensation-SE-Tut-Silicone-Case.asp
I will order the case mate tough also... I hope that will be what I want at last
Wow, thanks for the info! So which one of those has a thinner/less bulky form factor, and is easier to get in/out of your pocket?
Case
I bought a Yoobao case off of Ebay, I love it. It is very tough and thin holds the phone tight.
Ehh, thanks for the info, but I already have a TPU and while it is nice and slim, I want something with a little more protection.
I'll put my two cents in, I just got the vertex and I'm very impressed. I've had the commuter and didn't like it. The plastic seemed cheap to me and was too slick. I also had a tpu case that was ok but I didn't think it would protect very well and made the power difficult to press. The vertex is quality, looks and feels very nice and fits great.

Hi, thanks for the input! Does the back material make it easy to get in & out of pockets easily? And also, is it thinner than your otterbox?

Haven't tried the Case Mates yet, nor the Seidio, BUT:
Naztech is a POS - crappy build, plain & simple.
Otterbox's silicone is too damn loose - quoting others here.
Just saying......
Well, I've been on these forums reading for about 5 months now, but this is my first post...
I've had the Casemate Tough Case for the same amount of time I've had my Sensation; about 5 months.
The tough case's hard backing makes it very easy to slip in and out of your pocket. The only exposed rubber is a small section at the top and bottom of the phone and a very thin rim around the screen, the rest is the hard plastic. I never notice that it's collecting lint\dirt, except when I remove the case, there is a small rim of dust collected under the rubber rim, but you can't see it until the case is off.
The exposed rubber parts always look clean and smooth, same goes for the hard plastic outer shell.
The farthest I've dropped my phone with the case on is off the bar... so maybe 4 feet or so? No damage to the phone or the case.
I haven't tried out any other smartphone cases, so I don't have a large frame of reference, but I haven't had a single issue with the tough case. Hope this helps!

Have you actually tried the naztech case? I'm sitting here right now literally starting at it trying to find a problem with something and I can't. I can't compare it with the tough case but its better than the otter.
Like I said before, and I don't know if this even matters, the naztech has cut outs for all the holes on the back cover, none of the other two piece cases have that feature.
As far as the plastic, the naztech has a rubberized back which makes it easier to hold than the otter but still slides into a my pocket easy.
i think you guys should check momax case....
For what it's worth...
I picked up one of these on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055DHCKS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Inexpensive, fits very well, easy to slip on and off, isn't a lint magnet, reminds me of the great Boxwave slip cover I had on my Nexus One.
Highly recommended.
I got my htc sensation and I just want the perfect case for protection. I've read the other threads but there weren't for this two. It cause mostly everybody likes the case mate but is the ballistic more protective since the corners bigger and the back better. And don't say the otterbox cause I don't like that one.
I've got the CaseMate Tough and it's perfect.....
Tough outer plastic cover, with a secondary rubber cover that sits nicely over the phone.
Only criticism is that it is awkward to take on and off and I had to trim around the headphone hole to get my headphones to fit...but that is minor.....
Just wish I had it on my phone before I dropped it.........
I'm trying to decide between the matte black TPU case and the hard case from Diztronix. What are the pluses and minuses on each?

Well I have the Matte black Case From Diztronic...Its perfect to me...feels great...fits right and looks very good...but just pick the case you like best my friend bcuz thats all that matters...
I was on their site for a brief moment after seeing the review for the TPU case (ordered one, it looks like a good case!) and saw the hard case as an option, so checked out the pictures.
Biggest difference is that being a hard case, it can't flex to put the phone in, so the top/bottom bits are missing like many other cases. That was the biggest reason I went for the TPU since it has protection all around.
Tpu vs hard case.
TPU is a tad thicker, but provides more protection. All corners are covered.
Hardcase is thinner and does not provide coverage on the top of the phone and bottom.
I have the TPU, and hardcase coming in on Monday. I opted for the hardcase because of the option to put it into my GNex Seidio Surface case. The tpu is too thick and makes the phone too long to fit so hoping this will fit and be my weekend warrior.
Saying all that, I currently got my LG Nexus Bumper. And I have to say I do like it a lot. I actually had one but since sold it when I first got the phone because using the bumper, the phone would not fit in any of my universal cases at the time.
I got the Diztronic tpu and had that and was quite happy with it. Seeing a few threads about the Seidio holster possibility, I went and bought the hard case because I already have the Seidio Surface spring holster. Between all of that happening, I finally got my bumper case and fell in love with the bumper all over again. Thinking I was going to sell it again because I couldn't find a decent holster to house the phone, I tried putting the phone with the bumper into my universal vertical belt holster which fit the phone and tpu case.
To my disbelief and amazement, the phone actually fit! The Diztronic stretched the the case enough where the bumper can pretty much slide in without an issue!
Well sorry for the long a$$ story, but this is what I had personally gone through so far. Not to mention getting yet another case, the Nillkin flip case. Not sure if I am going to keep it though. I may just sell it to another person here or ebay.
