You can check ebay as well. I think they may have them for a bit cheaper.

47 now from ebay shipped from LA vs 59 shipped directly at seidioonline with a 10% coupon. Which would buy from now? LOL
Prices stated are with the case AND holster combo.
got the BodyGlove case (which has a changeable clip that doubles as kick-stand) when T-Mo had the 50% coupon for $15

That was my first case but took the belt clip off because it was way too bulky. Also the initial batches marred the back of the case where it would leave indentions over the openings like the camera and speaker. At first it looked like it was scratched but eventually the "dents" came out. I haven't tried the new batches that have come out though. I hope they work! I did actually like the case feel without the belt clip but I now I prefer my Seidio Active Kickstand one though.
Just retired my bodyglove kick/case (new batch had no scratch issues) because it is just too bulky & too heavy!
Is there a way to tell the old batch from the new ones?

I wish it was a defender series though... much better protection than the commuter series. Hopefully they will release a defender for it soon.

at first look, this $35 otterbox looks very similar to the cheapo $5 ones that's selling everywhere. i'm sure the quality is much better but is it $35 better as the protection is still 2 piece? im curious to see feedback from those who ordered
Its quality over plastic.

Just got mine in. Looks great will post some pics tomorrow.
This is only the second otterbox I have had. The first was a defender for the 3gs. This commuter case is well built and feels and looks great. The only problem I ran into was the first silicone layer was getting pinched at the corner when I was trying to put the outter cover snapped in place. After a few attempts finally got it on and so far so good. Def worth the wait and money.

The back is mostly hard plastic. The only silicone will be at the headphone jack, power button, charging port, and the largest part is volume rocker. The plastic has a great design/look to it. You wont be disappointed. Should be getting some pics up a little later.

I just bought a Speck Candyshell case for a little over $20.
It was a site called wirelessground (I don't know how reputable they are).
It is rubbery on the inside & hard on the outside. It was $34 on t-mobile's site and amazon.
Google:
Code:
T-Mobile G2x Speck CandyShell
There are only 2 sites with this case including amazon.
The coupon code is
Code:
15off
I am not affiliated with wirelessground or amazon but this is one of the few cases available and I saved almost $15!

Agreed brother. No Screen protectors for me. Me and my buddy bought our cases in store on one receipt so we could get the "buy 2 get 20% off" deal. I went with the body glove snap-on case. The clip has a built in kickstand, that's what sold me.

Why do people cover there nice looking phones up with bulky rubber cases? Just buy a couple spare battery covers down the road and your set. Makes you wonder why the manufacturers don't just make rubber phones????

Lol. I never drop my phone, but other people do. I trust a well made case to save me the replacement cost.
Personal preference plays a role as well. I'm still rocking out with the out of the box screen film on my phone.

I already have the commuter but feel it's add a little bulk. I would like to know if any of the mentioned above are any good?
I would like to have some protection and with little less bulk.
Or any other case under $10-$15

My buddy has it for the Nexus S and it fits nice but the one for the Inspire is a strange fit. I had to modify around the ear piece so I could comfortably swipe down for notifications. Cheap but there is probably better.

2 for 5.99 incl. shipping and screen protector (which I didn't try yet since I already had one).
Cannot beat it! It's a great case and even a little bit higher than the camera thus protecting it. Not bulky IMO and not worse than the casemate you can buy from AT&T for 30 bucks.

Had the TPU case for a while on my Inspire. Unfortunately had to take it off because whenever I had it in a pocket the phone would go silent after the case pressed down on the volume buttons. It was almost perfect... Almost. =(

i have to say, especially if you dont mind waiting a little bit, you can get a tpu case from china for super cheap. mine was 69 cents, free shipping. =)
although, i got the casemate tough for $15 new in box free ship on ebay, so maybe just keep an eye open there, you could get a much nicer case within your price range than on amazon!
I got the TPU case... great one for 4 bucks!
Looks like Seidio and Otterbox will both be releasing protection for our Sensation 4G devices real soon. IMO, Seidio provides a better product than Otterbox. I've used both, and Seidio to me just seems more stylish for the protection (I'll be buying the Active combo).

Is there an eta on these? I also was the active combo.

Pretty sure that by the end of this month there will be something... well that's what I hope for.
I'll be going with SURFACE, not that bulky.
They usually have something ready for purchase within a couple of weeks after putting up the "coming soon" spot.
glad to see these companies finally take notice to this device. ill be picking up the otterbox. had one for my nexus and liked it a lot. normally i dont have a handset long enough for some of these companies to put out a quality case (besides the generic gel ones)
I considered otter, but need a holster for work.

Been waiting for Seidio...hope to see something real soon
I had seidio on my nexus one and liked it alot since it was the case and the holder. Am curious about otterbox but don't want anything too bulky.
Will probably just stick with seidio since I used them before.

I got the Gelli case from Case Mate and love it. I was worried about it feeling cheap but it's not at all - it's very firm and streamlined and looks nice without adding bulk. It also covers the volume rocker and power buttons which is good cause the crooked power button was really annoying me; it makes it feel more solid.
I've used Seidio for a few years now. I like their products but build quality doesn't look as good as Otterbox. Otterbox makes bulkier cases that are more expensive. Seidio is a step up from ebay generic junk. The only reason I haven't bought anything from Otterbox is that I usually have to take my phones out of their cases to use car docks (HTC OEM docks) and that takes too long with Otterbox.
i hope they built a good case this time because the case they built for the mytouch 4g was horrible!
I love Seidio's InnoCases with their awesome spring-clip belt clip. Can't wait.

Weird the black Active cases aren't ready yet, but the other colored ones are.
Just ordered the Sapphire Blue Active Combo with the 15% discount. I really want the Trident Aegis but the holster seals the deal cuz I hate stuff (except money) in my pockets.
All cases are now live fellas! Dont forget the summer11 code for 15%. Black Active combo...here I come!
and no TPU in the case.
The picture is up on the website fellas if you want to take a sneak peek. It looks like it won't be a squeaky version like the one for the MT4G since its a slider install. It should be available soon.
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hr3htsen-bk.htm
I might wait for the Active combo myself.
Edit: The Active Combo is now up also!
They are covering the holes...
That's an expensive case!
Wow...$50 + shipping cost is a little expensive for me. I guess since it is a case+belt holster...
Yep the Surface&holster is pricey, but it has the kind of full protection I was looking for!
I just emailed seidio regarding both the active and surface case they are planning to release for the sensation soon since pictures are available. asked about how come only one of the 5 holes is uncovered and if the other holes being covered will affect performance. since according to htc the holes have a specific purpose. hopefully i will get back a sufficient answer and not some generic response.
but i am a little concerned to be spending all this money for a seidio case and 80% of the holes are covered and now I have a $8.95 TPU case and 0% of the holes are covered. does anyone else see something wrong with this picture?
also checked out otterbox website and they are releasing a commuter case for the sensation soon and they have the same setup with the same one uncovered hole above the camera. i guess maybe both seidio and otterbox know something about those holes that we don't know.
I am using the active x case and holster. Dropped twice with 0 damage to the phone.

I agree. I think we are concerned because only 1 of the 5 holes are cut out for the device. We don't question the quality and protection but we are concerned about the holes. I too have a $3.99 TPU case with all the cutouts, I wonder if the Seidio will affect reception.
Edit: The Active Combo is now up also!
Ah yes forgot to mention, I have a Samsung captivate. Got this case because I can holster it with headphones plugged in. And I can adjust volume as well.
Sent from the miui matrix SGH-i897
The Otterbox case pictures also covers up all the holes except 1.
I think they're using the molds from the European version of the Sensation, since those don't have as many holes as the USA version of Sensation.
My o2 UK sensation has 2 holes near cam, 1 near speaker and 2 at the bottom.
I bought a case mate and it covered all holes and I think it did affect reception
