[Case] case-mate

I got the case-mate from Amazon and its an awesome case. I have had some.touchscreen issues but for some reason since I've put this case on, I haven't had them anymore. I dunno if its some sort of placebo effect or its the way the case grips the phone, either way I'm satisfied

I ordered Barely there & Tough to my Sensation, arrived yesterday.
Both fit perfectly and the quality is awesome. some thoughts after a days use & tryouts:
Barely there
+ small, doesnt add bulk
+ nice material, adds a bit more grip
+ cutouts are lined perfectly
- doesnt protect from drops, only from scratches
- upper & bottom are pretty much uncovered on the front side
Tough
+ nice protection
+ perfect fit (from the front as well, buttons still very well accessible)
+ like the styling, cant even notice that there are 2 different materials sometimes
+ I like the thickness, adds bulk but in a good way to my liking
- adds bulk, some might find it too much
- cost, 35€ is a bit too much for it
- not many colours out there yet
So all in all, very nice pair from case-mate.
And the best of all, my phones "deathgrip" issue vanished after putting on a case,
had a severe problem with the WiFi cnnection before, now nothing.
Absolutely amazing & a must buy for all Sensation owners IMHO....

Can we get some pics with the cases on. I'm more interested in the barely there case. Thanks

I'll take some pictures of mine when I get home today. I noticed my WiFi death issue is gone also. I don't know if mine is the barely there case or what but it has 2 layers, first layer is like soft rubber and outside is hard. They work well together

You have the Tough case then. The barely there is only thin hard backcover.
You take pics of the Tough, I'll get the BT photos

What about GPS? I have Tough on Desire HD and it cuts receptions of GPS a lot.

I'm interested in the Tough case, but I'm concerned that the microphone holes on the back are covered. Have you tried recording audio with and without the case on to see if there is a difference?

On my hd2 I had full body ghost armor and a green barely there case. Max protection with minimum changes to original dimensions. I'll probably go the same route with the sensation.

No problems in any of the services anymore. The covered pinholes dont seem to matter either.
Made the phone 1000x better
(HTC should include a barely there case with each phone )

No, havent recorded audio at all. Reception in phone calls to a friend are the same than without the case.
BT keeps the phone close to original, but the Tough isnt far off. It does bulk it up, but I kinda like it with the tough

So how does this case make your service better???
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

I just got one two days ago. Like a few things about it and dislike few things about it..
I like that it makes the phone thicker and slightly bigger. Easier to hold for people with bigger hands. I like that it makes pressing the power and volume buttons extremely easy. Like the protection from the case too.
Dislike - the silicone case does attract some lint and dust. Need to clean now and then. For people who can't stand this, don't get this. Next... er.. can't quite think of anymore.

Leaves the deathgrip out.
Also 3G connection was suffering from small deathgrip issue before (dropped 1-2 beams when squeezing the bottom of the phone), with the case that was gone too.

I think this is more due to the fact where you keep your phone, not the case itself.
My shorts pockets attract a lot of lint & dust to the phone, with or without the case.
Ofcourse its easier to spot from that black silicone but I havent noticed any big changes after putting the case on...

The Body Glove that you can get at the T-Mobile stores is the only good case that i have seen so far, except the fact they all come in Black and everyone is getting them. It's a heck of a way to protect your phone while options start coming out anytime soon

a local phone store has picked up CM accessories nicely, they just got barely there, tough and gelli cases in stock so I picked them up locally

HTC Original case

I found a case with code HC C740 in a shop in my country...ordered after looking on many sites and pictures with that case...I also found an youtube video about this case..received today....WOW!...AWESOME!...superb finish, personally i think that is the nearest finish to the original...I will post some pictures later, when I`ll be at home...I think that is the best and beautifull case for our lovely device.
Edit: I have the black version of OneS.

skodann do you have any pics of the case on your phone?

Check that out. I got the same case and it's really nice.

Speaking of HTC cases, anyone seen if that kickstand case ever surfaced? Been looking all over.

I just saw it today in the store, it was a black one.
The kickstand didn't feel too sturdy and the case was a bit bulky, however, I thought it added some substance to the phone being it's almost too thin.

Do you mean this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-s-hc-v741-hard-shell-with-cover-and-stand-black
It's the one I got with the phone and from the looks of it, it's actually the same hardshell as the C740, but with an added leather cover for the screen which can also be folded over to use as a stand. Excellent quality and really like it. Two niggly things to note with it are you can't have it plugged in while using it as a stand, and as the leather on the outside is facing whatever surface you have it on while using it as a stand, it can slide about quite easily when trying to use the phone on smooth surfaces (to be clear this is when trying to interact with the screen - e.g typing - not while it is just sitting playing a video). Both minor points for me, and I would recommend this case over just the hardshell due to the screen protection and stand function.
tl:dr version
+excellent htc quality
+screen protection
+stand
+doesn't add much bulk
-can't charge while using it as stand
-can move about on smooth surfaces when using as a stand

i think these are the cases that some are looking for, but they don't seem to be available yet.

I saw those original case and the kickstand in a mall in Toronto !!

I bought the Original HTC Clear-Hardcase and Screen Protector yesterday.
For each I paid 11,99€ which is f*n expensive in my opinion, but I think its well worth it to have original accessories on my baby.
( Original ) Screen Protector
I know this is not the thread for this, but I´ll show it anyway
HTC Clear-Hardcase
Both Products are Tripple-A Quality.
The Screen-Protector Package includes 2 "films". If applied correctly you wont every recognize that theres something on the screen ( like on the photo above ).
I also really like the Hardcase, the only problem with this is that its a little slippery on smooth surfaces.
EDIT:
Both Images are a little bit out-of-focus, since I used a 50mm Objective to take those.
I can take new pictures with another one, if requested.

I got the black case the day after I got my phone, around 5 weeks ago. The finish feels very similar to the black phone itself, with the colour matching.
The case is very slim, and you really wouldn't notice it was there. It adds no real extra size to the phone.
My only small issue with the case is that the top and bottom of the phone are exposed still. I'd prefer a little more coverage, but overall, the case is pretty awesome.

looks a LOT like my case

looking good. i am in between this and case mate barely there.

Yup I was in the same predicament and I went with the case-mate barely there. I love the case. I went white on white. I don't need super protection but just want to protect from scratches and getting dirty.

i just noticed that incipio one covers more edges. so i think i am more leaning toward this...

Good to see they finally got them out, but im not sure if I would pick it up our not. When I had my SGS II I loved my NGP that I had on it, right now im rocking the diztronic tpu which is almost the same exact setup as the NGP.

From the pictures on the site, the feather looks exactly the same except the bottom part looks like it wraps around a bit further and the top has an extra piece that covers the middle section between the headphone jack and the power button.

Just ordered a feather. Will report back when I get it.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Just got my feather in and I can tell you that there is a reason they don't show you what it looks like directly from the front. The case is much thicker than they would lead you to believe and is pretty damn ugly when it's on. I will never use this case.

^dang sorry to hear that
Well Im going get mine in the mail soon so I guess I know what to expect

It is almost flush with the camera lens, MAYBE a little bit thicker. If you lay the phone down on its back it definitely does keep the camera lens off the table, there is like a .5mm gap that I can see through. So yes, but not by much.

Got mine today. A bit pricy imo, I try to not spend more than $10 on a case. Keeps the thin profile and the material actually makes the phone easier to grip. I like the fact that the front portion is flushed with the phone(not good for ppl who like putting their phones face down). Probably gonna be switching between this case and the Amzer case. Really liking it.

Edit: Just purchased the Black Feather for my white HOX

I bought the Incipio feather in gray for my white HOX and I like the grippy/rubbery feel to the back. It's not my favorite case but I can definitely see me rocking it from time to time.

Really like that case waljie.

Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

They don't have a white case and I couldn't decide between buying the gray or the black for my white HOX. Finally settled on getting the gray one (I figured it didn't really matter since I'm planning on having a few cases sitting around to swap as my mood changes).

I've never been a huge fan of any soft plastc/silicone since they are huge dust and hair magnets. I have a jack russell and this thing loves to attract hair and pet dander.

Got the lime green one today, think it absolutely rocks, all I will say is the lime green seems to give the camera a green tint, now I have only seen it once and not sure if it was the lighting conditions, but it is something to think about.

hated this case. Haven't used it once.

Do you mind posting a picture of the nexus 4 with the light blue case on?

The suction effect is disappointing to me. Otherwise a very nice case.

Would you mind posting pictures on how the phone looks with red Cruzerlite on? Have you seen or tried out the new design (andy-circuit-case) for the Nexus 4? And does the suction effect wear off at some point? Or is it just really blatantly obvious with only certain colors? Sorry for asking so many questions but I'm really curious lol.

I've seen it but haven't review it yet. I am sure I will looking into that
I don't think the suction effect wears off because the back of the phone is glass ..the lighter the color the more obvious it is. I was thinking maybe the old baby powder trick might get rid of that ..gonna try it later on
The colors you see on the video are the only ones I actually have.

What are you talking about? Those volume and power buttons are nicely tucked inside the case openings with a lip around them just like the lip all around the top to protect the front glass.
Ian B

I have the androidified case on my N4 as well, i love the look of it and the price at $13 was nice. I generally have no gripes about the case, however I need more protection and this is just merely a stopgap until a seidio active case/holster combo is available

"tucked in" does not equal "protected", not to mention the additional large openings provide that many more areas for dust and minute debris to enter the case (and yes, I've had this happen to me so I know it can happen). But back to the buttons themselves, as an example, take the Poetic Atmosphere case. While I will say that one does not provide the moderate shock/breakage protection that classic TPU case does, it does fully cover the buttons, and even more importantly, it goes a long way toward making the buttons easier to find and to press (which on the N4 is very helpful). Either way, none of these cases provide the grip, protection, overall feel of the Seidio Active case, not even a contest in those areas. Over the last few years I've found that this case provides maximum protection, without the over-the-top bulk of, for example, the Otterbox.

Cons: Scared to drop it, weird way to install, doesn't offer protection to back & camera.

I didn't watch the video with sound yet... but it doesn't look like a full aluminum case... just a bumper (ie, the back isn't covered) so there should be no signal loss. He also stated there is "doesn't off(er) protection to back & camera.". So I think its just a bumper.
There are other threads that show that you have no issues w/ wireless unless you use an aluminum back.

Very good review. Couple suggestions... turn off auto-focus on your camera and then pick up a piece of white posterboard stock and a couple of desk lamps at Target or K-Mart. Something along the lines of this. With your existing good narration, your videos will be near pro quality.

Yeah but try using NFC with a full aluminum case. There is a reason Apple makes the top and bottom of the back of the iPhone 5 out of glass. instead of it being edge to edge aluminum on the back. Full aluminum definitely affects reception.

Apple actually puts the bluetooth and wifi radios under the glass pieces on the back panel. So they probably didn't see it as being a good idea to put those under the aluminum as well. An aluminum bumper with a nice glass, polycarbonate back could work well though.
