Machined metal case? - HTC Sensation

Ive been hunting Amazon trying to find a case to order and stumbled on this, its a polycarbonate (hard), snap on case with a machined metal back? Looks really cool, but offers no protection to the top or bottom, but I love how it looks and figured I'd post it up..
Anyone seen or use this?

My friend has the blue one for his. It's actually very sexy

Fishbone case for epic..best case hands down w/pics

I didnt know how this case was going to look and behave as far as protection and not interfering with the sliding hinge seeing as how the case only costs 14.99 from amazon. I must say that unlike the sprint snap on case and the body glove black and silver case, this one has no, I repeat zero effect on the keyboard sliding open and closed. The case has smooth lines (im all about asthetics) and nothing looks sloppily put together or cheap. The red part is soft touch plastic and the silicone is on par with what you would get from otterbox....i give it a 9.9 out of 10 only due to the fact that the upper left hand corner is slightly difficult to put on securely...you really have to make sure that no part of the silicone is out of place( i know, i know this seems obvious but looking at it at a glance i didnt see anything out of line....i took it off and started over and realized where i made a mistake...anyways, I know why you looked at my post so here are the pics.
Heres the link

Update 12-02-10
I have had some problems with the middle clip that sits under the keyboard on the same side as the volume rocker staying latched on so i cut it so it sits even with the silicone layer, I didnt want the clip scratching the silver border on the phone. the clip i am referring to is the second clip form the left hand side of the case in picture 1 and 3, although in the picture the clip sits even with the silicone already i just clipped of the sharp edge of it.
update 12-4-10
I put the black case on and havent had any fitment problems at all....so it looks like the problem with the red middle clip was a isolated incident. updated pics on page 5
more pics on d way
and for your viewing pleasure
Now for the feature presentation
and some of the case off the phone
looks pretty good!
suhweet bro!! totally getting this case. registered just to see the pics but rest assured this is not the last time you will hear of me!
I also like how the case still allows you to see the chrome lip around the edge of the phone...on a side note, my wife was the one who accepted the delivery from ups and when she opened the box, she called me immediately ad asked me to order this case for her....this is a very big deal because she pinches pennies until they bleed....she already has a case on her epic, but she had to have this one too....I got her the pink and black one...these cases will take over the world...one epic at a time....

cool case, how much would you say this adds to the size of the phone? Don't suppose you could shoot a pic of 1 epic in the case next to your wifes w/out a case?
Butt naked epic vs fully clothed...this thind adds hardly any bulk to the epic...the sprint case and others add more bulk than this one.
awesome thanks for the pics. Think i'll order that case pretty soon. Got the sprint one now and it's just too bulky.
fyi this case also comes in white and black, black and black, pink and black and my case
Compared to the seidio active case?

Dude that case looks sick, thanks for posting this and all of the great pics! I may end up getting this over the seidio case as it is waaayyyy over priced for a case. Excellent find!
Sent from my Xtremely Syndicated and Emotionless Epic 4G
Based on what I saw at the sprint store, this one is half the price of the seidio and offers better operation of the sliding keybord. As far as my personal preference, this one looks way more stylish and clean than either the active case or the innocase..just my opinion.

If they ever come out with a Blue/Black fishbone with a holster, I will definitely buy one! For now I'm sticking with my Platinum case from Best Buy.
Dumb question but couldn't tell for sure from pics.
Does the front cover allow the LED to show through? Some don't (and cover it up annoyingly).
Thanks.
Hrm, just realized this would probably mess up the Samsung dock... Blah.
It opens up wide enough for the led notification and the camera...my wifes pink one just arrived and hers isn't rubberized plastic like my red one...it. is smooth plastic but still nice.....you definitely wouldn't be able to use this case or hardly any other docked.

I kinda wished they had a blue and black case too..that would be perfect.

Leather Case Options and Suggestions

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?
Sent from my Sensation using XDA App
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
This Zenus case is indeed beautiful...

Cases with good lip around the front

Hi I've been a lurker for a while pyt this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone had good recommendations for cases with a frontlip for the one x. I switch from the iPhone 3gs and was using the incase slider that a had a really nice design and saved my phone many times. I was the wondering if anyone knows of a similar case that won't scratch my phone like the incase did.

Loving my Case-mate "Smooth" purchased from expansys. Semi-rigid with a great hand feel. Recommended. No cutout for the contacts on the back though.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD. In between FCs.
I did see that case I how big is the lip on the front. And does it feel cheap at all or does it collect a lot of lint because those are my only problems with some gel and tpu cases.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Feels very well made, fits tightly. You might have a tiny struggle getting it on at first, but you'll manage. The lip over the sides comes just far up enough to cover the seams on the glass. And because of its rigidity, it doesn't buckle to reveal the seams. I'm very satisfied with it.
One flaw I found - and it's been on both units I purchased - was a little unfinished cutting on the bottom edge of the camera lens cutout. Probably something in manufacturing where they cut it from the mold or whatever. It bothered me enough to get a return authorization, but it dawned on me (again) that life's too short to give a crap about ridiculous things like this so I never returned it. In fact, I bought the second unit for a buddy of mine instead.

I bought the Incipio Feather and NGP. The feather is going back the NGP is staying. This is a somewhat overpriced but well made and well fitting TPU case (semi-soft). Feels much more secure in my hand and less likely to slip than the Feather, though admittedly not as sleek. the Speck cases on the iPhone seem to offer good protection, but the only ones I saw in the AT&T store were ugly red and bright blue, I am not a teenager, no way I am putting one of these on my phone.
The official purple TPU case is pretty good for that but I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of its appearance.
Cimo TPU case from Amazon is pretty good. Nice lip and good grip on the edges. Plus it was only $8 when I bought mine

A Few Cases..

I recently bought a few cases on Amazon, being only around 3 bucks a piece, I bought 4 different ones.
They all come on different dates:
First one: Transparent Smoke/Solid Black Gummy Cover For HTC Sensation 4G by MyBat
So far, it's great. a little flimsy on the sides, but its a TPU case so i was expecting that. Again, the rim around it is TPU while the center back is a transparent-graphite rubbery plastic. It feels good in the hands, but the seam where it changes materials feels a little inconsistent. There are multiple color schemes for this type of case.
Second one: Body Glove Icon Case for HTC Sensation 4G, Gray
This one is absolutely terrible, doesn't fit the phone and damages the back of it. DON'T BUY IT!
Third one: HTC SENSATION 4G / SENSATION XE GEL SKIN CASE - SOLID BLACK, WITH QUBITS-BRANDED MICROFIBER CLEANING CLOTH
This one is the runner up to the first one, the darker black part holds the phone tight, while the border makes it feel great. Definitely a buy.
Fourth one: TPU-Cases High Gloss Black Flexible [Revision 2] TPU Cover for HTC Sensation 4G (T-Mobile) [TPU-Cases Retail Packaging]
This one is also great, very simple, yet it hugs it well. Feels pretty good, but definitely a reason its only 6 bucks.
Thanks,
Lucas
How about some links or pictures?!
Fixed it! There's more cases now too!
I've never understood why people buy sexy smartphones, only to cover them up with cheap cases. But its for protection they say. Most of the time the cases end up wearing marks all over the phone from rubbing over time anyway.
Best $12 I ever spent was on a genuine HTC 'Meteor' soft leather slip. Protects the phone from dust while in pocket. And you still get to touch the sexy smartphone all over when in use.
But... Each to their own.

I don't recommend this one. Trying to send it back. Doesn't fit the phone at all.
I have a Ballistic SG series case. It's really durable, if you don't mind the chunky style, it will keep your phone very protected. It is worth the $39 I paid for it

I also purchased the fourth option and like it. The volume buttons are a bit less sensitive due to the design, but I do not use them terribly much so it's ok.
I also purchased "BoxWave HTC Sensation 4G DuoSuit - Slim-Fit Ultra Durable TPU Case with Stylish "S" Design on Back - HTC Sensation 4G Cases and Covers (Smoke Grey)" from Amazon and think it works/fits better than the above, however aesthetically, I prefer the solid/plain black.
i have the SENSATION XE GEL SKIN CASE - SOLID BLACK which i highly recommend, will protect the phone from scratches so no need to place it down carefully everytime. easy to put on and take off!
I like the colored tpu case, I currently using red...

Review and pics for Rhino case plus belt holster

Hey guys so I decided to buy this case off ebay, it says it fits att one x
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...842697553&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:MOTORS:3160
So what I'm really wanting to do is use the belt clip as a car dock. Awhile back I read on here at xda that someone just took one of there cases and put Velcro on the back to stick it to the dash...well I have basically the same idea but with the holster instead, since I don't really use a belt clip. Anyway I just figured I'd ask to see if anyone has said case/holster and if they like it o and I wanted to share my idea lol

So seller tells me that case will only go in with screen facing inwards. I'll have to check it out when it arrives
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Ok guys so I got it! And although the seller says it only goes in one way it WILL go in both and the case itself is pretty nice, it doesn't protects screen at all though which I'm not worried about cuz it's gonna stay in my car. It does fit pretty snug once u get the plastic price one overall I am very pleased with my purchase and as soon as I can get this Velcro to stick to my dash I'll post some pics!
EDIT: ok so the corners of the white rubber aren't snugg at all its only snugg along the top, bottom and sides where the hard plastics wraps around but I'm still happy

Can you post some pictures and update the title to add (Review).. Thanks
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
Ok so here is my official short term use review
The case itself is snugg around the sides so it won't pop off easily the top is kinda loose bit the power button is still easy to press. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone and is very "pocketable" while in case more so than with my ballistic case but it isn't nearly as protective as the ballistics. I would say this case gives u 1mm of lip on the front. The kickstand seems pretty sturdy, it locks in open position. If u don't hear it snap into position it will possibly close up on you if u were to bump a table hard. It does stay closed in the case very well so it won't flop out on u. Volume buttons are easy to press as well and all the holes for ports and camera and such line up nicely
The holster is very sturdy as well the case snaps right in and seems like it would be hard to make it just fall out. THE CASE DOES FIT BOTH WAYS IN HOLSTER although I don't think it was designed to it does fit and the belt clip is very sturdy, hard to open in fact lol.
So i hope this review suffices. I'm sorry I couldn't put all this on OP but I was having difficulty uploading from phone.
If mods would like to rearrange things I don't mind a bit lol if anyone has questions feel free to ask!
Edit: so it seems the easiest way to get this puppy on and off is to leave the two pieces together and slip phone in and also it is much easier to press the power button if u come from the back and press kind off forward
Overall I'm liking my new case worth every bit of 8.50$ and a neat little trick with the holster is I put a piece of foam in the clip so now my whole phone is angled right at me
EDIT: the holster and my ballistic case fit together almost better than the rhino case lol! That makes me doubley happy! Hahaha
