BUMP...........

Good enough for 4€ (incl. shipping)...

I have one of these on the way too. Can't wait.
I haven't seen a good pic of the buttons and how they are covered. Can anyone who has already received it let us know if they will need to be cut or get some pics and post them here?

I had this same exact case for my G2x, It wasn't as nice and didnt fit as well as it looked on the web. I really miss the fusion case I had for my MT4G that one was my favorite case. It was very similar yet much better. I wouldnt buy this case again for my sensation after seeing the exact one on my g2x This was the best one for the MT4G: http://www.ambitronic.com/product_info.php/mytouch-fusion-case-p-480
This was the same one as the sensation that I thought was pretty bad on the G2X (and I had two of these cases from different venders)

So far, so good. Thanks!
The only thing I'm afraid of is that it'll turn yellowish over time.

Very happy
Just got mine 5 cases for 12 bucks good cheap cases live in Arizona the shipping only took 7 days from China. Very happy

I've had my TPU case for a few days now, and I've found that it obstruct a micro-USB cable so it does not solidily stay plugged in. Do you have this issue as well or did I just get a bad vendor? (I have this one - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054HA45A )
Thanks

Case & Screen Protectors
I just got the this case for $5.95:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHW1Y
They also sent two screen protectors for free. The case is very thin and it lets you see the phone's back, which is great. This might not be the case for someone looking to FULLY protect the phone, as it doesn't cover the top and bottom of it.
Now it is only $1.99 plus S&H, it doesn't gets better than that. Although not related to cases, you should buy this car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA
I got it for my N1 and it works great with the S4G.

try this one，nice awesome
nillkin case also nice and good

bought that kind, dont have it yet. did have on on my mt4g, worked beautifully. Fav case ever. usb port was a little tight on generic usb cords, but the htc cables have small heads that fit fine.

In my searches for a good TPU case, I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180699200569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_738wt_1037. It's cheaper than the TPU-Cases brand and it also comes with a screen protector. I think it looks great with a matte/gloss dual finish, but I'm not sure if I should buy it with the lack of a power button cutout.

I REALLY like the way that one looks, and with free expedited shipping, its worth trying. It't be sweet if it were orange though.

I just ordered 1 of this hard rubber and 3 of this tpu cases.
I believe they have a very good price and high quality.

I bought this case last week and it is the best tpu case I have ever seen or used! Looks so sexy on the sensation. It has all the extra holes on the back as well and it fits like a glove. The seller is also selling one for $2 more with a screen protector. Can't say how the sp is as I haven't tried it, but I highly suggest this case.

TPU case with volume cut outs

anyone know of a tpu case that has the cut out for the volume rocker,I hate the molded ones,thanks

do you prefer the lock button to have cut outs as well.. generally if one is cut out they all are...
can always cheap skate and cut the piece out with an exacto-knife lol

The only TPU case that has cut outs for everything is the original hTC TP C620

2nd poster, that's not right many TPUs out there don't have cut out for volume like the popular US TPUCases one

I have the case pictured and it's a nice case,just wish the volume was cut instead of moulded.

It appears this is the same with the cutouts.
I'm glad I waited as I think ill defibetly order this one and price is not bad.
Question do you believe having all the holes in cover are necessary? Like all the little ones?
Because most cases I see cover them?
If only this one had a clear back I'd call it the perfect case

I can second that it doesn't have any I just got the case today in the morning I love the case I'm pretty sure I can use a knife with some heat and melt out the cut outs for the volume.?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I read some reviews and the reason the reason they don't have volume cut outs is because of the potential manufacturing difficulties that would result while being made.
If you could do it nicely with a knife or exacto blade I say go for it!!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

I got my case from Amazon & I immediately did my power button with a razor blade. The minute I put it in the case it tried to reset cause the case was pushing the power button all the way down. I don't know if I'll do the volume button though. Its way too sensitive, I can barely touch the button without changing the volume, but it's not exactly easy to cut TPU material neatly. The cutout looks OK from a distance, but up close it's kinda jagged. I can't believe they designed a case that holds the damn power button down like that, but I only paid 30 cents for it so I guess I can't *****.

Well this one claims to have all cutouts:
Features include:
Custom Fits your HTC Sensation
Fits the phone perfectly to add better protection
Slim fitting design adds no extra bulk
Complete access to all ports and features
Screen protection kit included
The pic used is for the original hTC product with some editing if you look well
I asked seller to post pic of his case 3 days ago with no reponse

Very clear different color smudge(s) in holes locations
I can easily "clone stamp" away the hTC logo in photoshop... no biggie
I was just wondering why would the seller do that instead of simply posting a real pic of his product...

The mention of a "SILICONE TPU-CASE" seems odd to me. TPU and Silicone are two different materials. Most sellers are selling cases that are either TPU or Silicone. I doubt it's some new blend of TPU and silicone. TPU is the cheaper material, so it's probably TPU.
I've found TPU cases have a negative impact on signal, but I've had no such signal issues with silicone cases. I've been testing both.

[Review] Seidio Active Kickstand Case and Holster Combo

As a mini review...
Being this is my first Seidio Active case ever, I am quite impressed by the combo offering. the case and skeleton that goes over the case is quite nice. The build is nice and you can feel the quality of the case when held in your hand. Right now for the kickstand Active case, there is only the black available and that's ok with me. But I do like color from time to time. As for the kickstand portion, it works as described. It cannot stand up in portrait and is intended for only landscape viewing when the kickstand is in use. The kickstand has a nice click to open and close and you can be confident that the kickstand is tucked away. And when opening the kickstand, don't worry if you use too much force the plastic piece has some give and is forgiving. Nice to know
All in all the case is indeed worth its pretty penny. Before this case, I was using the Nillkin kickstand case as you can see in one of the pics in the gallery. Even though I love the slim factor, I am constantly worried I will be scratching the bottom and top portion of the phone which is not covered with the Nillkin kickstand case. Seidio has taken away that worry, however has added some bulk to my phone. It's not bad, but I do like the slim factor of the Sensation and was one of the main reasons for getting the phone. Eh...if the phone is to survive, I have to give something up right? LOL
As for the holster, its great. No issues in getting the phone in or out and I have yet to experience the peel back on the top portion that others have. But time will tell .
Out of 5 stars I give this case a good 4 stars. Because of the uncertainty of the holes that are not present in the case but are on the phone backing. I have yet to test the mic but I will report back if I have any issues.
UPDATE 4/24/12: With regards to the holes. There are no issues with regards to hearing on either end of a call and gps/cell signals are fine. This is my go to case when traveling. However, I maintain my 4 out of 5 stars, because it is a lint trap lol. And a little bulky for my taste, but that's a trade off when you want protection.

I have the active case with kickstand as well. It is the best phone case I've had for the sensation it offers great protection, not bulky and the kickstand just sets it apart from all the others.

Posted in the OP. Also included a coupon code as well. Every penny counts in today's world!

Reporting back after a few days of usage. Used gps and took and received a number of calls and glad to say everything works. With the covering of some of the holes in the back, I was hesitant of how people were going to hear me. But none have remarked that the in call volume was too low or otherwise. GPS ran as it should. Connected to sats locked in as usual.

Looks like I'll be getting this case considering its one of the few cases with a kickstand. Any flaws with it?

The only "flaw" IMO is that not all the holes are present in the case. But the main holes for mic are and do not hinder any performance in my case. And what ever cut outs are there are lined up perfectly. And removing the case in the need of a battery pull is a breeze as well. And also besides the holster peeling off the top part of the case when placing it in the holster one handed, its a hit or miss. You need to just be aware to just use your index finger to move the tab up before placing the phone in the holster from the bottom and then up.
I stand by my mini review so far with being it a strong 4 out of 5 stars for me. The last star would have been the cutting out of all the holes like the back of the case.

is that green case for the sensation? if so where did u get it?

Yes it's the Nillkin Kickstand case for the Sensation. I did a review on that as well, did you not see?? I advise against this case unless you are open to personally use a file or dremel to extend your cut out of the usb port. Also the kickstand itself needs to be modified as well to easily fold up the kickstand. Read the thread and make your own judgment before ordering.

Great question! I took a look at it this morning and the answer is no. With the kickstand deployed, the port is located where the phone rests horizontally, as a result the port is blocked.

That's a bummer. I bought the case last night after thinking about this lol
I will still enjoy it though

It's up to ones own preference. I mean I do not regret the purchase. The kickstand works well. And I don't watch a lot of vids on the phone, that's why I have a tablet. Is it that much cheaper? I mean if you get it on ebay I think it's maybe a tad more expensive, but not astronomical.

Powerskin Review, good pics, my charging solution.

Hey everyone
Just got my powerskin today, very happy with it! It's pretty much the only "juice pack" type of product available for the Sensation.
Here are some pictures:

The PowerSkin capacity is 1500mAh, inside of the phone I have the Anker 1900mAh, for a total capacity of 3400mAh!
Mugen 3600mAh extended battery $104.95!
My Solution
______________________
PowerSkin for $49.62 (direct from powerskin it's 59.99)
Anker battery for $8.99 free shipping
total cost $58.61
50% savings pretty much!
In terms of the case, you can obviously see it's as thick as a pack of cigarettes but that will only really tell smokers how thick it is lol, just trying to give you an idea. It's really smooth feeling so it slides in the pocket very easily. I also like the function that if I hold the button on the back for 2 seconds, It turns off the powerpack from charging the phone, I also didn't think it would show by LED light how much power the case had but it does, SWEET!
The fit is absolutely precise, although how well that fit will be maintained I cant say because I just got it, the material right at the edges feels a little "floppy" but that's not really a negative at this point. All in all hope the pics help, any other questions feel free to ask!
Enjoy!

thanks for posting this, although I'm turned off by the buldge on the side, I'm sure other uses will find this review very informative

I have a powerskin. It does a decent job. I won it in a contest though. Cost=free

I am growing to like it actually because the bulge with the divot allows my thumb to comfortably grip it

I picked one of these up for $30 with the T-Mobile 50% off coupon a while back. My complaint is that the micro USB connector doesn't have retention barbs. When I would put it in my pocket, sometimes the connector would come out just enough to break the connection between the skin and my phone and the skin would stop charging the phone. With that said, out comes in handy for leaving it charged and in my glove compartment for emergencies.

Not impressed. I bought this thing about a week after they were released & its already dead. It won't charge at all. It did stretch which caused the connection to get lost from time to time but not too bad. And laying it on the table sometimes pressed the button on the bottom to turn the case off

Daily I'd say I got an extra 5 or so hours. But the damn thing died already. I can't charge it at all anymore. Definitely won't be buying one of these for future phones.

I have and dont like it. It was a good use for a while then weeks later it gets wear out. Connection slips out of the phone so i gotta keep putting the connector back and its very annoying,....

...that's what she said.
(on topic) I had one of these for my MT4G and gave it up. It's just too bulky and I couldn't really justify the discomfort for the actual usage I needed from the phone. I found it easier with the S4G to just get the 2x1900mAh Anker Batteries+charger combo. I think I'll stick with that in the future vs buying the powerskin. My case gives me better protection anyway.

I used to have the PowerSkin... well... I still do have it, but it died in less than a week. Won't charge or anything. Just dead.

Weak WiFi - New case?

Once of my gripes with this phone is the weak WiFi signal.
I had a leather case on the phone, and my WiFi was greatly affected by this! I didn't even realize how much until today!
I could hardly get a signal in my room, and I would have to crane out of my chair, as I keep losing signal
I removed the case today, and wow, my signal is better! (Not the best signal device, but better than with the case on!)
I realize after all those months, that case has been greatly affecting the WiFi
It looks like this:

Now, I'm looking for a replacement case that doesn't affect the Wifi strength...
Anyone got any recommendations?

Wish i could help you out there buddy... but i've never been one for covering up beauty, and one of the reasons why I got an HTC was because i liked the unibody look... would be a shame to hide all that oomph with a case!!
But these things are insanely popular, and even my wife uses one (she's prone to dropping stuff, especially if it has a battery in it!! ), and it's one of those things which is traslucent-flexible-rubberized-plasticky-something... No major gripes with WiFi with that case on, but i'd have to test it myself to form a more educated opinion...

maybe your case are to thick, if i'm not mistaken, i see there are two part of it. the plastic case on top of the leather case.
i use this handmade leather case from my previous n5800xm and i got no wifi signal problem

I agree, I took the cass of, and damn the phone was so sexy with its awesome unibody design! Its so thin and light!!!
However, I am overprotective of all my devices, so I always buy them maximum protection to cover everything. (Sometimes I think I spoil them too mug )

Yeah man, your right, it is 2cases together
It is significantly thicker with the case on
I think that is blocking my WiFi signal....
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll look around for something like that!
Anyone use a gel case? Any recommendations? Does it affect WiFi?

the store where i bought my DS gave me this as a bonus. it's quite thin, thinner than my leather case. no problem with wifi. and it comes with screen protective too.

Wi Fi Problem
At the closing of the area near the Vol up even hand, there are problems with the level of the signal. May be it is worth to look case with the open part of the

I recently removed the, "traslucent-flexible-rubberized-plasticky-something" - tpu gel case and used the phone for a couple of days and not putting it back in any case again + it's older now, though scratchless except a hot rock on the back removable cover.
These cases do not affect wifi as much as the otterbox ones or leather cases
Here are the ones I have used till now - no wifi problems -

No Wifi Problems here either...

i use a case mate barely there case, i have noticed the wifi signal drops when the case is on, when i remove the signals increase, i really like the case any solutions for the wifi fix

There is no fix, except for not using that case. The barely there case kills wifi, nothing to do about it except removing the case.
