If you have nothing better to do...

i scratched off the matte finish on the metal cover and it revealed a very stunning undercoat. I think it looks much better. I used an expired credit card to scratch it off. do not use anything metal to scratch it off, it will leave a scratch on the undercoat.
Done on a white mt4g. i think the different colored mt4g have a darker back cover.
Also it takes a very long time to do.
Pictures were taken with flash off because it shines that much.

Looks nice. How is the texture of the undercoat? Is it slippery like the stock overcoat or is it more grippy?

it has a lot more grip but it does collect more oils from your hand

Hmmmm....I think I may do this in the next couple of days. I'm also wondering how it may turn out if I use my dremel to create a brushed look...decisions decisions.

I'm not sure if you want to do this, if u look next to you sd card theres a gold contact that touches the inside of the battery cover. So the coating my be a barrier between the metal and our hands to prevent signal issues i.e. Iphone 4 like signal issues. Anyone who's tried this confirm either way? I love the look just don't want to regret it later.

Did you just rub the edge of the card on it for hours? Because I've been doing it for a couple minutes and I don't think it's getting me anywhere.

There was a slight chip where you open the phone and i just used a credit card to dig under it. if you do it right, the paint will chip off into a fine powder

That looks sweeet...I'd get a second battery cover off of ebay and do it though.

Post #10 has a good point. Maybe I should contact HTC or maybe some phone tech guy will stumble upon this thread. But it does look cool, I wanna do it to mines and then get it re-armored with ghost armour

Do we know if the battery cover is powdercoated or anodized? Either way I like the black but the silver does look sexy with the white phone.

If you look on the underside of the cover, the spot on the cover which touches that contact is etched away. This is to ensure contact is made without obstruction. So there is no "barrier" between the cover and this contact. Just the opposite. My guess is that it is a ground circuit to divert static electricity. Since the cover is made of metal, this would make sense. Scratching off the outer dullcoat should not have any negative effect.

HTC Sensation battery door

I was looking for battery doors for my HTC Sensation and I came across this nice looking one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ORIGINAL-OEM-HT...I&otn=5&po=LVI&ps=63&clkid=719848830771970651
I wonder if it will work the same as the one that comes with the Sensation. It looks a lot better in my opinion

looks great. can't wait til they start making some that aren't dual tone and without that ugly curve design.

1. @ $81 it's kind of spendy
2. Does not look the same as our battery covers, will antennas work fine?
3. Definitely better design then TMOUS ugly tri-colored one.
Thanks for the info

You know that's the housing AND the battery door (three pieces) right? I saw just the back cover selling on ebay for around $52.

Here is the back only
http://cgi.ebay.com/REPLACEMENT-BATTERY-COVER-HTC-SENSATION-/320715342088?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item4aac1fc108
It is still rather expensive, even considering how it needs to have the antennas.
I'm hoping it will come down in price once more sellers get into it. However this has helped me decide that I won't use a case for the back (was just looking for an excuse to swap backs covers)

Not bad. But yeah I'm going to wait till it get lower
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App

Who need case after that? If it scratches then just replace cover (they will get cheaper) which is the whole body! How cool is that!

It's awesome! But what happens if you drop the phone? I like using a case for shock absorption!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

You definitely make a valid point BonesRed.
However in order to achieve good shock absorption the case would add more bulk than I would ever consider using. The thickest case product I use on phones are the variety of 'skins' or 'shields', and those offer almost no shock absorption value.
Also this gives me an excuse to swap the tri-colored back for one that is dual-colored, which IMO looks better and prob should have been released this way in the first place.

I love the stock back, im surprised so many hate it.

Someone should make a battery cover with a protective rubber layer already attached.

Anybody knows where to get the back cover for t-mobile with 3 antenna connectors on top part? I placed an order with waresphere and they told me they don't have it in stock and raising the price when it becomes available.

Hello, first excuse my english I'm french.
I do not know if any of you to change the casing of the sensation, but no longer mine, if somebody is selling the original. I am close to you buy it, Thanks

I hope the price goes down in the next few months, i'll get one eventually

I find that there's a strong correlation between the amount of times I drop the device and the force at which I drop it and the amount of alcohol that I've drunk.

Got it for two weeks dropped three times twice from a table to tiled floor. No glitches i can identify till now

Distracted by the girl and dropped on concrete, the phone was in a plastic case-mate. As a result, broke into two pieces and get a little scratch, has long been frustrated. But as they say, things for us, not we for things. Protect and take care of your phone.

I have been a bit rough on my Desire s, and yes it have a few bumbs and stuff like that,but overall this is on hell of a though phone!

I'm sure there's another thread arguing this already. Anyway I drop my phone anywhere and everywhere. The screen is still perfect, really hard to find scratches. But just bought a case mate tough to protect the pathetic aluminium.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium

drop 2 times.
1) from about 15cm to wooden table, no effect.
2) about 1 meter to tile floor resulting some dent on top edge.
both situation happened without protective cover.

My total ownage of 3 months. and I've dropped it only once
I'm usually very careful of my gadgets, they are always fully protected with invisible shields/thick leather cases etc.
My phone is still in perfect condition. apart from a small small chip (the size of a full stop) on the top of the phone (near headset port)
It really bugs me now! I can see a white patch, where the paint came off.
I got the scratch when a door hit my phone... And it was through my pocket!

I have simply lost count I am using the Casemate Barely There case. It definitely protects the phone but I really ought to get my screen protector on.

Cracked Screen - Bad

No idea how it even happened, pull the phone out of my pocket to check things on Saturday night and the screen is toast. Spiderweb cracks all the way around.....Guess I could have bumped the corner of a table?? ..... Anyways, it's being taken care of, so I'm all good............3 days in, I was pretty bummed. New phone on the way though!

Really, it happened while the screen was facing in against your body? That's bizarre. I learned the same lesson, luckily on my old Samusng Blackjack, and it only cracked the screen cover, not the screen itself--I leaned against a table corner and heard the "pop" when it happened.

I also find it weird that it cracked while the screen was against your leg...If it was facing outwards then I could understand. I dented the side of my Macbook Pro by accidentally hitting it against a railing while it was in a padded carry bag. You'd be surprised at how much force you exert even with just a tap.
Though, I guess hitting the back of the case really hard may crack the screen. My friend had one of those indestructable Nokia flip phones and it took a shot from a competition air rifle (.1775) at 10m to crack the screen...and we shot the outer casing (which only left a dent)

I think I bumped into a table and it "bent" the phone enough to crack the glass?? I don't know............anyways, I'll get a new one soon (I hope).......

It may have broke from just your pants pocket. Normally, when you stick the phone in your pocket it will be in portrait mode, but occasionally it will fall into landscape. When this happens and you sit down your pants pocket will push the phone against your leg very tightly and bend it, possibly to the breaking point if you don't notice it right away and shift your weight right. Try it.
Of course, this largely depends on the type of clothing you wear... It should be noted that this can happen with any phone. I've never had it happen but I've come close to it with my HTC Aria.
