T-Mobile Official Accessories (Case+Screen Protector)

Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at Tmobile.
PRO'S: Case serves great protection and style as well.
The black color is really nice, compliments the color of the phone.
Its a silicone case, very flexible, that is textured. It is also really easy to install.
The bulk that it adds is very minimal.
CONS: One in particular is that if you like the ease of just pulling it out of your,
the whole case grabs onto the inside of your pocket, pulling the pocket inside-out.
OVERALL:: Overall, I recommend this case to anyone that is looking for some
great protection, with very little bulk adding to the phone.
Attached: Here are some pictures of the gel skin sold at T-Mobile.

more pics...

that looks very nice, fit & finish is excellent!
how much was it and is it available internationally? definately want one....

Not bad, how much did that cost?

Around $17 plus tax but I bought it with some screen protectors so they gave me 20% off. Was about 14 dollars after discount.

Thanks for the pics. I went and got this case today which is really nice by the way.

I got one also yesterday. Fits great, feels good, easy to get off and on. I use it at home only. At work I keep it naked and sexy!
I also got the screen protectors. Clear type like I like and if put on correctly they adhere 100% no bubbles or air gaps.

The gel skin is a good case until otterbox decides to make a case for it. The screen protector is garbage. I had finger scratching on the screen protector before I left the store. But it will have to do until the zagg screens are out.

Found this original hTC case over at Expansys and the price is fairly good. Also looks like it is an identical color match with the phone battery cover; this is a major plus for a more stealth look!
Going to order one right away!

Really nice find man. Ordering one right now, thanks!

I just got the T-mobile screen protectors. Not bad.
I had the rep at T-mobile put it on, figure if she screwed up she'd give me a free one or something. She had already done a few Sensations and I must say she did a good job. Better I know then if I tried it. There are just a few tiny bubbles that I think I can work out, not really noticeable. She did throw in an extra free one because she bad that she slightly scratched the protector trying to get one of the bubbles out. I can't even really see it. So overall a happy experience.
My Body Glove case is being sent to my home now - so that should be an all together different but interesting experience!

Here's a quick video I put up of the official T-Mobile gel case:

It's a pretty nice case, just very, very linty. :/

I ordered the PhantomSkinz Matt full body skin.
http://phantomskinz.com/htcsensation4g.aspx
Comes with 2 sets and the screen part also comes with 2 sets of Matt finish and Clear Gloss finish.
I use the glossy finish for the display. I think they have the best feel.
There is also a summer discount code for 25% off right now.

They any good? Are they like zagg?

[Q] 3DO Cases

What's the consensus opinion on the D3O cases sold by T-Mobile?
I bought one with my Sensation today, and I would like know it's worth the $30, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about them on the board.
I bought it because I don't want a repeat of the fate the befell my late HD2 when one day it flew out of my hand 10 feet backwards and landed on concrete, shattering literally the entire screen. There's no cure for clumsy, so my hope is that the shock-absorption technology will protect my phone from my ailment.

I got the clear one on mine it's great I can throw it Against the floor and it won't do anything. Overall it's a great product I don't regret purchasing it at all.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium

Do you use the plastic backing? I find it awfully odd that the only thing protecting the back is a piece of plastic. (Doubly odd since the D3O case for the SGII is a 1-piece unit with rubber backing.)

The plastic backing is for the d30 bands. I have the clear case that you can see the orange d30 on the sides.

there is not a case available that will protect the screen completely. Most will help drops. It's a sacrifice of size versus your clumsiness. LOL.
I would love a good looking and protective case. with a rubber inside and not so slick outside so it doesn't slip from my hands.
I have seen the 3DO. I think for the price you could find better IMHO.

I was confused what you were saying at first, but I think you have the one-piece cover and I have the band (which only covers the edge but which comes with a second plastic piece to cover the back - no D3O material in the back). There's also a dual-layer cover similar to the Case-Mate Tough and Otterbox Commuter, but it's not available for the Sensation 4G, apparently.

I especially am displeased that the band costs more than the cover. I don't get it.

If you're going to get the 3DO, get the one with a solid back and orange/clear around it.
I bought that for my GF, I have the black band with the clear back. It's a PITA to get that back plastic on straight AND the edges love to dig up my old Zagg and my current Skinomi screen protector. They peel the edge up...it's a pain.
As far as protection, they are awesome.
IMO...your phone is safe unless you suffer a direct hit to the screen past the case edges (like something sticking up, rock, etc.)
D30 Is military spec shock absorption material...it's good stuff.

Had both the band and the full clear case. Agreed on the band with the above post: it's a big PITA to line up and seems like it will scratch very easily, so returned it and went with clear D3O case which I have on now. Great protection IMO. A couple of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for one: check the alignment of power button and volume rocker. Out of 10-12 clear covers that I tried in different stores (T-Mobile) only 2 were perfectly aligned. Problem with misaligned power button is that pressing anywhere on upper part of the case would press the power button and lock/unlock your phone, and volume rocker buttons would only work one way/not work at all. Both very annoying. But when you find the one that works - it works perfect.
Also, on about 7 of them you could see cracks in D3O material through the outside of the clear case. On the inside it appeared perfect, so I figured if I was looking at any solid color case I wouldn't see it at all, so I went with it. Plus, the cracks were present on both of the perfectly working cases, so I didn't have much choice since I was set on a D3O case. Overall, I think it's worth the money.
That's my $.02 on it.

[Q] Best Screen Protector So Far?

Had my One S since last Wednesday and although I'm not in a hurry to get a case for this sexy beast I DO want to get a screen protector on it because it's a bit too glossy for me, I'd like something to tone it down just a bit and also protect it a little.
So, any recommendations? I've seen several good comments about the official HTC screen protectors but was wanting to get feedback from those who have actually purchased, received and are using a screen protector.
Thanks!

I am using the Zagg Dry (the ones that u don't have to spray stuff everywhere) protectors that come for a front and back protector. Seems to go very well and gives good grip.
Sent from H1S using xda Prem

I always go for HTC official protector, reason is very simple, it fits perfectly. I mean perfectly, literally, perfectly.
And they are very clear and not easily damaged.
Only down side I can think about is the installation. Cos it fits so perfectly, it makes the installation bot difficult, you have to be very patient to do it, but definitely possible.
BTW, yes, I have official one on my one s, and I love it.
And, no need to go to Expansys or other websites which are really expensive, eBay will just do, less than £5.

well worth it

htc official protector for me as well. More expensive but you can really slide the fingers on it and it fits ideally. No cheap stuff

i bought the one like "azzledazzle" too.(sr first post and can"t post other links).I am in Berlin now, at ebay.de they said the good is in Berlin but i waited for 4 days till it came.and on the Bill it says come from UK lol.
btw this one is good, cheap, but hard to press (power and volume)
the screen protector ist good too.

I was using the one they sell at the T-Mobile store and it worked quite nice. Only complaint is that my D30 case peeled it up in the corners so I took it off. That was most likely from me putting it on weird though.

I have the same combo and initially had the peeling problem, too. Try pushing the screen protector away from the side where it's peeling. That worked for me.
Really like the official tmobile screen protector.

does the t-mobile screen protector offer a smooth surface to touch? I am used to SGP's screen protectors which smooth as hell. Right now I am deciding on the t-mobile ones or the Realook ones

Smooth as the original screen...I don't experience any difference.

$30.00 Zagg dry for me. Watch out when you put the front protector on. It needs to be done withe the phone sitting upside down, your ear piece needs to be facing you. I recommend you do this with your phone off.
When I did mine and answered a txt while doing the front and ended up setting the phone down on the desk right side up. And now the front screen protector is on up side down. Still works though.

I am also a fan of SGP. Very smooth and resists figure prints.

Screen protector that works well for HOX, especially on the edges

The ones I have tried are the "dry" application type and because of the way the screen is curved it seems to peel up on the edges constantly, and having a case on just worsens the situation. Do the wet application protectors work better? Like Invisible shield? What have you guys foound that works well and stay putt especially on the sides?

My Zagg is working great. I have the front and back covered with it. No peeling at all and really nice.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

I have the AT&T Branded Dry Application one.
It doesn't cover the sides so it doesn't peel up. However the small side bezel is not protected. It covers everything else though.
I got 6 of them for $12 at the AT&T store since the guy applying it screwed up
Also this should be in the Accessories section...

No, mine isn't the Zagg one. Its an AT&T branded one, that AT&T manufactures.

Skinomi all the way. Same material as Zagg actually. Just cheaper in terms of price + life time warranty.

thanks guys, that gives me a couple good choices to choose from!
And ye sI realized this should be in accessories after I posted it lol, oops

Use XO Skin.... really good... Covers the full screen... as good as nothing is there.. I got the full body protector... workes really well...
I tried Skinomi before two times ... but it was never good... had the orange peel effect...

Really? Cause they are not known to cause that. I know Zagg is. All my device have Skinomi.

I just put the XOSkin on mine and I really really like it. Very easy to put on, is totally invisible and covers the whole screen. Since it covers the entire screen, you literally cannot tell there is a protector on it. Absolutely no bubbles, bumps or streaks. Easily the best I've ever used.

Would any of you who have either the XOSkin or the Skinomi be able to tell me if the full body skin covers the glossy sides of the body? I've seen some that only come up to the lip of the matte and not all the way around, so I am trying to figure if either of these do. Thanks!

Sorry, mine is screen only.

Xoskin full body doesn't protect glossy sides
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

Didn't like the AT&T one because it was anti glare or something . Not completely clear. The new dry zagg is ok. If you use any case that overlaps the glass it will lift the zagg up. My favorite was the one that came with my nillken. Left a little area on the edge of the glass unprotected so all of my cases worked fine.

Have always used "bestskinsever" on all my devices. So much cheaper than the others and quality is great.

Used Skninomi and wasn't too impressed. I used this eBay seller before getting a screen protector for my GS II Skyrocket. They are selling a three-pack for less than $2 and the quality is awesome

Try phantomskinz, I have it on mine and its matte. Give a very nice touch. It covers everything except all the ports and camera
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA

I've got the Zagg HD on the front and the Zagg standard on the back. It's a great combination. Even though it doesn't cover the entire glass section of the phone it's still completely invisible, no orange peel, and works great with cases. Honestly I feel that this setup with a case is better than any other method of protection for this phone.

Best screen protecters

Can you all give me the the name of the best screen protecter for our sensation which protects well. As I bought one with 30 USD and my screen is like sh1t because of it and had a replacment ,tia

I use the Skinomi one and have since I got it. It works perfectly and the installation is easy as long as you follow the instructions. If anything it made the screen better. When you first install it, it seems like the bubbles are never going to go away. Give it half a day and it looks gorgeous.

The screen glass is slightly curved at the edges, so tread carefully sticks.

Yes. Since the sensation has curvy end, all the screen protectors i apply get air filled in the corners and soon dirts also enters those aired bubble areas. Any screen protector that fits perfectly?

I would say that the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD is the best screen-protector when it comes to protection, but it makes your screen a bit sticky. If that doesn't bother you, go for the ZAGG. It's a bit expensive, though... :good: :fingers-crossed:

Is there any good protector which sold on ebay and ships free worldwide? I only managed to find generic protectors.

Skinomi is great. Fits the curves of the Sensation screen very well. Very smooth and doesn't have that orange peel texture like ZAGG

I think the Chinese itop í very good.:good:

I`m using ZAGG invisibleSHIELD about one year and it`s very good.

Dont know... I guess im not a drama queen....
Bought 3 protectors for 2$ from ebay and had a protector for 10$ ... they feel and protect the same to me!
Just buy cheap from ebay and you wont be sad when you will need to replace it... Better to replace like 1$ protector than replace 10$+ ''special'' protector.....
BTW Using about a year now 1$ protector protecting like it should!....
