Case with kickstand other than OEM?

Sorry for yet another thread on cases, was wondering if anyone has found a G2 case with a kickstand other than the clear and black ones by the OEM. I've had the black one for a few months and the case to the front has already broken. Stand is kind of a dealbreaker for me as my phone's been my main source of entertainment the last month or so (my apartment was robbed of tv, computer etc and I'm still saving up for replacements).

geeze man, I really do feel for you and I hope everything in the future goes well. But with the case, I would look on eBay, and or Amazon if you haven't yet. There always seems to be more stuff on those sites. I thought I saw a body glove case with a stand, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I would save up for a gun and a deadbolt first.

Thanks guys. I actually have the body glove one, its what I got thru T-Mobile. The part that goes over the top is what broke. I've tried Amazon with no luck, but ill try eBay now.
Deadbolt didn't do anything

I don't know if they still have one, but otterbox ran a special where you got a free stand when you ordered a case. Looks great and the g2 sits nice even when in the case.

The battery cover makes a good kickstand

[INFO] Lense cover confirmed

Just been into phones4u and I can confirm the lense cover is different to the vodafone one I saw on Friday.... the voda one had an almost flush lense cover where as the
P4u phone didn't have a lense cover...
Thought I'd let everyone know asap
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

I warned p4u that it was missing the lense and that they probably have a dodgy batch.... you can clearly see that the lense is missing.. .

Could you not have posted this in the other thread? This kind of crap makes it hard to find anything in the forum. Also, my vodafone Sensation has a recessed camera, no flush casing.

Then yours is missing the lense cover that's meant to be on the case..... I'm sorry for making a new thread but personally I'd be happy to know this news if I didn't already know
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Why exactly would it be missing? HTC wouldn't send out a phone with such a GLARING error if it really was an issue.
People have said in the other thread, that all demo devices have covers, but devices we have don't. If you look at, where is the cover meant to go? That black ring inside the case is almost flush with the back of the case.

The phone vodafone let me play with was straight out the box. It was about 1/3mm indented within the case.
I'm not lying I just thought people ought to know. I'm going to there stored on Monday to get it and will maker sure it has the lense cover.

Any photo to confirm?
Like I said, I highly doubt HTC would send out devices with such a massive flaw.

No but I can safely say the phone p4u showed me whilst they checked it was unlocked for me, had a lack of lense composers to the one vodafone showed me on Friday after opening a fresh box for me. Definitely going to vodafone tomorrow to get it as I think the lense cover with be beneficial with time.
Tl;dr. There is definitely a difference from the phones I saw.

It hasnt actually been confirmed by vodafone or htc, your just giving your findings.
As far as I can see, no retail boxed sensation has the lens cover flush with the case.
It only seems to be demo phones that do. Perhaps early production models, used for demo only.

I'll get it tomorrow and show you... I'm not complaining nor am I from another board here to slate the sensation... I'm just reporting my findings as its something I'd like to know if I was missing a lense cover from a phone i just bought. The phone I was shown from vodafone was straight out of the box and not a demo.

What I dont get is how there could be so many phones without it. Its not like it even looks like its missing from my phone, it looks to be designed that way, there is no room to fit an extra lens over the hole.
:S

^I agree with this.

Well, I hope you're not disappointed and find one with a lens cover. But also be ready in the eventuality that the design was changed.
Personally I think the only lens covers which are beneficial are sliding lens covers. Glass ones can get scratched and sure that protects the lens, but the only way to benefit from that protection is to remove the battery cover because if not you're still taking pictures through the scratches. And who wants to take off the cover every time they take a picture?

Please don't think I made this thread purely to spark an argument... it was not the intention if it seems that way. I'm just letting people know that there is definitely as difference.
I've had a bit of time to read peoples comments and am definitely getting the phone tomorrow regardless

I dont think you are trying to spark an argument, just finding it hard to believe there is a fault thats all.
I'm going to be interested to see what your replacement is like and what we hear back from vodafone and htc about the issue.

If it's recessed but edges are sealed that is even better option than if it was levelled with cover, don't you think? Less of a chance of scratching it.

that's what i mean! this is how the vodafone was that i saw on Friday...the case had the lense and it was ever so slightly recessed but it was all sealed.
The one from Phones4U didn't have the case lense, was about 1mm recesssed and Thought to myself dust will get in there a lot more and IF it got scratched, then you most likely need to pay more to fix.
thinking about going into to town at 9am tomorrow to get it from voda so i can spend all day playing with it whilst at work. Pretty sure this is the right phone for me. must admit...the main screen looks great have the curved edges

ok..my last post about this issue until i get the phone for myself tomorrow
I've just watched the slashgear unboxing vid and I'm 100% sure that the one he's carrying is the same one that was shown to me in Phones4u, where as the one i was shown in Vodafone definitely had a sealed lens cover on the rear casing...which would stop dust getting into the camera lens/battery area/chasis.
Can anyone who got it from Vodafone confirm this? I know a letter has been sent out to HTC about this, I'm personally just thinking about other people that are missing the lens, as i really think it's a faulty batch. The phone, when i played with it in P4U really did seem like it was missing the lens and didn't look complete without it.

This video shows a lens cover. Skip to 3:20, also at 4:10. You'll see the reflections.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-yRVxCvv7c
Again, don't know where he got the phone, but he posts here, so should be able to find out.

That video, 4:10, reflection isn't in the surface of the phone...there is no lens cover on that handset...but there isn't on mine either!

Sensation Back Cover paint/color coming off problems (Pics Added)

Well I just wanted to share with everyone my experience with the back cover and the color coming off after 1 1/2 weeks from the retail box. When I called HTC they did not give me any problems and sent me a new one.
I have kept the phone on Micro-Fiber cloths and what short time it is in a case it is in the T-Mobile sleeve for the Sensation which is soft inside. So I know it is not my use which caused it, the case is possible but I doubt it.
Bottom line is I think their could be some paint/color issues with the back cover so keep a watch for it and if you notice it call HTC and get a replacement.
So has anyone else experienced this? Please leave your comments.
Here is a couple of pictures of mine. You can see the area where the color is coming off just to the right and a little below the camera opening.

It looks like normal wear and tear from the body oils on your hands. I hope that isn't the case and their was some real issue. If this "issue" happens again I probably wouldn't ask for another case personally. On the bright side you can probably sell that other case for like $40 right now.

Same thing happened to me the first week I had the phone... I returned mine to T-Mobile for another one. Glad to see I wasn't the only one! Good luck with the replacement cover.

No when it leaves the micro fiber cloth it goes in to the slip pouch. I'm very protective of my phones and I will never put one of my phones in my pocket unprotected.
Other phones I have like the thunderbolt and MT4G I have never had this problem.
I just hope the new case holds up better.

Happened with my XPERIA X1 (made by HTC), happened to my N1, and now it will probably happen to my Sensation. Good to know.

Perhaps it's the skip pocket and the constant slipping in and out of something that fit's so tightly.

Perhaps but the slip case is from T-Mobile and for the sensation and is lined with a soft material. And I mean how many times I could have taken it in and out over 12 days period is, well not that many times as while I'm working I use my work phone.
I might try a different case on this new back cover to see if it makes a difference.

I feel like all phone covers with this surface will be rubbed off eventually

I am having the same problem. I've had the phone 3 weeks, and it is looking pretty bad. It only seems to affect the top third of the case. I'll try calling HTC...
btw, I am also using the t-mobile slip case...

Good thing I got a cover for it to avoid this. Although this does look like normal wear and tear.

You think this looks like normal wear and tear for a 12 day old phone? I would agree if the phone was older maybe but if the paint is coming off this quick after purchase I just can't see it being normal. Also this phone has been in a case when not on my micro fiber cloth.

I think it's your atomic hands. Or too much Texas BBQ!
I've had mine 35 days now and no visible wear on the cover. I have ZERO protection on my phone and it's either in my cheap holster during work or taking up it's solo pocket location in my jeans/shorts. My holster interior is not really that soft and I holster the phone a ****load throughout the day. Honestly... I would expect my phone to have a lot of wear already. I've been in love with the sexy feel of this phone since day one and find myself holding and caressing it sometimes even when I'm not using it.
Not sure if that helps or not but due to my holster and my almost perverse fascination with the feel of this device I would expect to see some wear on mine.

Exact reason I got my tpu Case. Need to keep the resale value up.

No it was definitely made by HTC, just sold by Sony. Because Sony could never produce a decent device. And THAT phone had a problem with its backcover, horrible I finished with rubbing ALL the color off, basically turning the black model into a silver model Looked as if it were new. But I think that's kinda hard to do with the Sensation because there are electronics in the cover. Or is it just metal parts for the antenna?

Get the white frame for your sensation

Found a seller on ebay that sells just the frame for the S4G, IN WHITE.

It's missing one of the antenna point. The white has 3 and for me in the US, need to use all 4 or we get crappy service. lol

I hope that's not a real issue.. I ordered one so I'll post pics and a review when I get mine.

For $81? Jesus.

Seller upped the price. Earlier it was half that IIRC LOL. 81 bux, hellz no. I have a case already thanks

I'm also wondering if its genuine HTC quality or a cheap quality fake cover.

Finnish store sells white Sensation. So i think this might be real thing =)

I covered the one connector that the white case doesn't have (with a McDonalds monopoly piece) and the signal is worse, but it is not terrible.
With the case correctly on: ~-75dBm, 19asu
With the monopoly piece on upper left metal: ~-83dBm, 15asu
With the case off: ~-113dBm, 0asu (no bars )

I'm willing buy to this and try it but does anyone have a picture of a normal black sensation with this white battery cover?

Also want to see how it looks on a black sensation...

I'm also thinking if the antenna is bad I have an extra oem back I will experiment and see if i can take the one off the original case and put it on the white case.

Gonna order mine next week. Can we replace the missing antenna connector on the white case with our own from the stock black case?
Also, does anyone make white glass screens for our phones yet? I've searched extensively but haven't been able to locate one on my own

Thats what I am going to try with my antenna

Has anyone tried this on TMOBILE? Sensation?

Mine came in today. It looks amazing. My wifi signal is ironically better than with the stock casing. I now get two bars in my bathroom instead of zero to one like before. I have yet to test tower connection though.
And to the poster above me, I have a sensation 4g and it fits and works perfectly.

OEM HTC One X Case

Anyone using that case?
Thanks in advance!

Had it. Returned it.
Offers no protection and makes the phone very slippery.
Got it for $15. Not worth it. Definitely not worth it at $30.
All imo of course.

How ridiculous of HTC to release such a flimsy case for such an expensive price. I saw a picture of this case snapped in half quite easily.
Clearly someone at HTC was playing a joke, I mean blue and orange? $30? I feel like they're virtually feeding us crazy pills.

I like mine and use it when not at work. I work out in the field and use the best buy case and holster combo. It's nice when going out to dinner and showing off the great design of the one x. FYI that link is for the one x and not for the att or rogers(xl) version.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I realize now that this is a slightly different case than the one I was mentioning. This is the official case for the international One X. I don't know if this is quite as flimsy as the one for the One XL, but it probably wouldn't fit on the XL anyways. Could anyone confirm this? i'm interested in grabbing the white one for my fancy times.

The white one reminds me of a golf ball.. but they should've kept this pattern for the US version instead of the stripe/bar pattern we got.

I can't vouch for that one specifically. I do have the HC 700 for my XL though. Unfortunately since I'm a new user it won't let me link it, but you can find it on the site you found that one under the HC 700 model number.
It's for the International version but I decided to give it a shot for my phone. It does fit, just not perfectly. You can feel a little(barely) flex in it if you press down on the back of the phone's edges. The camera lens also doesn't line up completely but luckily the flash is not covered and the lens is not covered, just a little of the ring around the lens gets obscured by the case. Same thing goes with the hole for the speaker, it just barely comes up to the point where the holes for the speaker are but it doesn't cover them, but it does leave a larger gap at the top of the speaker holes. None of the buttons or input/output jacks are affected though. Since that is a similar case I'm sure the results would be similar.
I primarily got the case to keep the back of my White One X(L) from getting scratched, so far it's doing its job so I can't really complain too much about the minor alignment issues.

Yes,also know this case from other forums that it's don't do good protection..
