So I swapped my hd2 for a sensation and it really is a great phone, I want a leather sleeve style case like I got free with my hd2 but I just haven't managed to find one anywhere. I'm not old enough to want some belt loop flip top leather case just yet and I really don't want to bulk out the phone with a hard back cover.
HTC don't have anything on their website at the moment and eBay seems a nightmare for good quality stuff of late.
Any help welcome thanks guys.

Here's one on ebay. Not sure its OEM and not sure what the HD2 looks like but the "meteor" case is sold at expansys and ebay and it's just a leather sleeve.

Sena cases are the best. I have had several of their sleeves going all the way back to the g1 days.....
The sleeve fits the sensation perfect adds no bulk at all.......
Www.senacases.com
why don't you take your old HD2 case?
That fits very well with the Sensation
HTC actually makes a meteor case for the sensation. I'm assuming you're in the UK or something as your hd2 came with a case. They sell the meteor case over there, they just don't sell them in the usa yet though.
i still have my old hd2's case (still brand new) .. it fits ok but the sensation is a bit taller and sticks out a bit out of the case
The sena case loins good but am wondering how is the quality. Anyone has it?

They're not worth $30. I've had them before for me and my wifes blackberries. I wouldn't recommend them for the simple fact that they're super thin and not worth $30. They're nice, just not $30 nice.
Thanks for the replies, my hd2 case isn't quite right as the sensation is taller. So frustrating I can't find a simple, clean case for sensible money. Shame HTC stopped providing the case with the phones. The hunt continues
Any positive reviews for the sena case? Looks really tempting. I am looking for a simple pouch for the sensation as well...

Hey everyone, I'll be getting the Desire soon and have been shopping for accessories. I'm a bit envious of the kickstand that the HTC EVO has so I've been looking for a case for the Desire that has a built-in kickstand.
So far I've found one from Body Glove, but the kickstand is built into a belt clip, which is not exactly desirable (pun intended).
Has anyone else had any luck finding a case with a kickstand for the Desire?
Get yourself a Crabble Stand
Small and indispensable
Thanks for the reply, I'll look into it. I was just hoping for something built into the case so I didn't have to carry around something extra.
Thats exactly what I'm looking for. Did you find one?
I too would love to find something like this. Having a decent, slick case that doubled as a kickstand would be fantastic. Anybody else have any luck finding something like this?
+1 for this

Maybe HTC will release this case for our Desire too:
http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/03/htc-evo-3d-to-get-case-with-kickstand-shortly-after-launch.html
When I bought my sensation I also bought the body glove case with the belt clip but as most of you know the case was leaving indentations on the back cover. Body glove sent me a replacement but the new ones fits very loose.
So which case do you guys recommend I purchase to replace my body glove case? I prefer hard cases over the soft tpu type cases everybody likes. I also prefer that the case has some sort of rubber or leather type material on the back. I may consider the two piece slider cases if it looks nice.
So I'm open to any suggestions. I haven't seen many threads about hard cases. Please if you can post a picture as well
Thanks

It seems like a really nice case but I personally don't like the plain and smooth look.

How about this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/4-x-New-Mesh-Hard-Case-Cover-HTC-Sensation-G14-/230640628333
I ordered a set. They're snap on cases, and doesn't protect the top/bottom, also they're flimsy Just a nice looking colored mesh back cover.
I was given one of those cases (the black one) for free by the woman (in China) I bought the phone from.. I looked and saw that dude on eBay has sold 66 sets of 4 cases for $9.99 each and given free shipping to all. I figured he's made $500 from all this because the cases only cost 5RMB each (like $0.80).. good work to him.. damn I need to move to HK haha

Wait for either Otterbox or Trident to release their cases. Ive had Otterbox previously and love their work and Trident cases look badass but havent used one yet, will probably by my next purchase when their available (1-2 weeks)

Looove the tough cases by them.
Although I wanted something different because I spent a long time with one on my nexus one... time to change it up.
Was gonna go for Incipio's similar hybrid style but they dont have it yet for the sensation
Anyone know of a case like the case-mate tough case or otterbox but on a budget? Can't afford to buy a $30-$49 case right now but I want something with protection, not a tpu case.

I got one of these off ebay. For $1.79AUD delivered I am very happy. Pretty good quality really. Protects the front and back and It has all the mic holes too.
It comes with a front piece and and a back piece that clip together.
Iv used the ROCK case, nice and slips on the easiest.

this is the store that i bought it from http://stores.ebay.ca/Telegaming
i just looked through it and found a few black tpu cases that fit the desire and the g7. i looked up what a g7 was and apparently its a chinese knockoff of the desire. they seem to have the same body so i think its fine. they are pretty cheap and they offer free shipping to me in canada.
I bought this :

You may try one from China shop DealExtreme. It is advertised as for G7. But HTC G7 is a Chinese clone of actual HTC Desire. I bought one for my HTC Desire and it fits quite good. I cannot post direct links, google for "dealextreme htc g7 silicon case". But it is not glossy.
i use capdase black smoke gel case, maybe you can find in local capdase retailer...
I bought one of these from Amazon - excellent (hard-ish) gel case

i've bought this one. 3$ and pretty satisfied. screen protector included. case is strong yet flexible, and touch sensitivity with screen protector is as before. recommended...;-)
I'm using Capdase, Soft Jacket 2 Xpose, not expensive & quite good.

Ok, I've been looking for a leather case for a while now. I think I've searched all the web but have found nothing to what I am exactly looking for. I hate the flip cases and find them annoying (this isn't '99) and HATE TPU cases because of their extremely cheap feel.
I did find a gorgeous leather case that I am extremely interested in made by Zenus. Unfortunately, they make cases for all the wrong phones like the iPhone 4 and SGSII so far. The particular case I'm interested is in this http://www.zenuscaseusa.com/ZENUS-Galaxy-Leather-Stand-Masstige/dp/B005ELMLTS?ie=UTF8&id=ZENUS%20Galaxy%20Leather%20Stand%20Masstige&field_product_site_launch_date_utc=-1y&field_availability=-1&field_browse=3207153011&searchSize=12&searchNodeID=3207153011&searchPage=1&refinementHistory=brandtextbin%2Csubjectbin%2Ccolor_map%2Cprice%2Csize_name%2Cmaterial_type%2Cspecial_features&searchRank=salesrank and just blew my socks off.
I emailed them if they would have any for the Sensation but no luck. Do any of you know of anything equivalent to this somewhere on the world?? Meanwhile, I'm looking at this case to get me by and the leather just saves it. http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Go-Case-P91667.htm It looks like it fits like a glove. But I guess I'm not the only one who found out and its on Pre-order and sold out atm on Amazon...
My search continues..
So any suggestions? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Seen anything out there?

unfortunately I dont think there are any... I hate the flip ones as well, that's why I'm buying a leather case and cut the flap part
no case for me

Alright bud I'm going to help you out.
This case is as durable as they come
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006LS9QU0/ref=mp_s_a_10?pi=SL75&qid=1349240006&sr=8-10
This one is as well, and somewhat good looking
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005I577W6/ref=mp_s_a_5?pi=SL75&qid=1349240006&sr=8-5
This color reeks, but I know the Trident is an awesome case. Perhaps the best
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005ISUNYC/ref=mp_s_a_24?pi=SL75&qid=1349240186&sr=8-24
This one is the most expensive, but people also love it
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005EEO4OK/ref=mp_s_a_35?pi=SL75&qid=1349240275&sr=8-35
And finally, my case. While cheap, it has withstood a fall from 17 floors. It's extremely durable, feels great and slim, and I don't have one complaint.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005A2UR4W/ref=mp_s_a_2?pi=SL75&qid=1349240402&sr=8-2
I have an otterbox and I don't even use it I like this case so much.
Hope this helps

I lol'ed about the color reeking. My wife has that exact case and I can't stand looking at it. . I don't recommend the Trident though. The silicone under-layer is a loose fit, so one of the corners on the outer-layer hard shell has a tendency to dig itself under the silicone where the micro usb port is. I always end up taking the shell off and putting it back on to fix it. Annoying.
As for me, I'm using casemate tough. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it works as advertised. It gives really great protection, fits perfectly and adds a lot of grip to the phone. It's only weakness I would say are it's boring looks. Kind of reminds me of a tire.
