Thanks

Excellent thanks, just bought it.

Bought to say. I have one and left feedback about it lastnight.

Any pics with device guys kindly!?
Lining?

Ordered one as well. Will post my review.

Read the feedback and most say it was great for the price. One person gave it neutral feedback saying it was a tight fit. My concern would be if its that tight a fit whats the inside lining (if any made from? Is it likely to scratch and leave marks or cause wear on the phone by constantly pulling it in a out?

Is it hard or soft case? It seems to be hard in the photo (or at least a little), but I'm not sure. I'm looking for a hard one

Waiting for it to be delivered but should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know when I get it.

Nice soft leather case - very happy with it

Got mine today.
Awesome case for the money

mine finally arrived. it is very snug, which is good, nice fit and for its price its pretty good. overall I wanted something smaller really, i'll prob buy the sena ultra slim but this will do until that arrives.

Nice case. Good price, speedy delivery. Not too tight on the phone. Just perfect.

Has anyone got any pictures on how this fits? and do you think a desire with a Flexishield skin would fit?

I personally dont think it'd fit in the case with one of those one, they seem to add a bit of bulk too it. The phone is already quite snug without putting one of those on. I dont have a camera but still have my old X1, will see if I can get some pics up.

I took some pictures of the phone in/with the case to get an idea of what its like. The phone is in alot tighter than the pictures show as you cant even wiggle the phone whilst its in the case.
Hope these help

Edit: is there anyway I can rename the thread title to say that the thread now contains pictures?

Does the job nicely but don't expect high quality. Superb however for £2.90 and only took 2 days for delivery.

Just an update a couple of weeks on. I have noticed that the pull that lifts the phone from out if the case is beginning to mark the battery cover as it sits inside the tight fitting case. Might not be worth it after all.

Have had the same thing on mine after only a few days, but as the mark seems seems pretty irrevocable I'm going to stick with it. Can always buy a new battery cover if it bugs me too much.

Anyone bought one of these?

Has anyone bought of these covers ?

If yes, do they fit well on the phone ? and do they protect it well ?

no but nice!!!

i send them a message and asked what it was made of, and they said plastic and aluminium.
I think i'll buy one.... or 2

Wow looking nice, better than the cases i have at the moment.

May interfere with GPS signal?

the antenna is in the bottom section of the phone, so i'd think that having a metal back wouldn't make a difference.
I think i'm gonna buy one, so i'll tell everyone how it is once it arrives

I think the GPS antenna is by the flash unit, so the case may interfere with the signal.

1 black & 1 blue

what i recommend is the the gel cases. they are well protected and fit well over my DHD. also very cheap. £1 a case from http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-HYDRO-Gel...asesPouches&hash=item20b6844739#ht_4492wt_907
and http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLACK-SILICON...sesPouches&hash=item43a66d8178#ht_2193wt_1139.

I've already got a silicone case, and i've ordered 2 of the cases i linked to.
Thanks anyway though, i might get one of those sometime in the future.
i'm always changing the case im using so having more than one isn't a problem.
Also are there any videos of that case in action ?

save your money - i bought a black one and it was rubbish
getting it on was very stiff, you had to push the on button on the top much harder than normal and after a few days the aluminium unstuck from the plastic and i thre the whole lot away...

Hopefully i have a better experience than you did, if not it didn't cost that much so i'll learn to wait for other people's experiences before i buy anything else

You're talking about the aluminium one right? I bought the silicone one, seems better

My Desire HD arrives in the morning, so I've just ordered a 99p silicone jobby off ebay - really not expecting much for 99p, but it should keep it nice while I do some research into the perfect case!!
I've had a hero and it's had a silicone case on it for the last 18 months - it looks pretty much like new. So who knows, maybe 99p will be enough of an investment!

The 99p/$1AUD aren't really that bad.
I bought one for my DHD when i got it in december and it's been on it ever since, it fits perfects and has protected my phone since i put it on

i have a silicon case for mine and use it when im at work, remember the phone is an aluminium shell and a screen so its pretty well protected, i use a case to protect from scratching my pretty chocolate coloured phone

Case mate Pop! Case

I just noticed these on the casemate website. Looks similar to the tough case. Someone should buy one and let me know how it is lol.

i would say white but white easily caught dirt?...

Is this, like their tough case, two pieces that fit into each other?
On the web page, they make it seem like they have formed the two plastics of this case into one piece but I can't tell.

I think its still two piece. I vote white!

It is one piece made of two materials(hard rubberand plastic) and it does not have two layers,so it is very and I mean very difficult to put it on the phone and take it off.It id also easy to scratch because plastic is high gloss.i had it on Desire HD and swap it for Tough which offers much better protection.But I have to admit that Pop is looker

just ordered a white one today

Couple questions about this case.
1: Is the inner layer on this like soft sillicone?
(I'm not liking the harder material that TPU is on my phone. I can tell its wearing on the front corners and making the matte finish to be shiny.)
2: The only hole that im worried about is the one above the camera and it seems to be covered. Is this hole actually anything to worry about?
(They are all just mounting points for antenna contacts, but the one above the camera is the only one that leads to a hole in the phone housing.)
3: Can anyone post pictures of this yet?

Looks pretty sweet, Someone post some pictures once you receive it.

Video Look: Case-Mate Tough for HTC Sensation

Hi guys,
I usually post on the Galaxy S2 forums but I've since been able to get my hands on a Sensation frequently so I'll be posting videos on cases here as well! Just wanted to show you a quick first looks at the Tough case from Case-Mate, a 2 piece hybrid case which will provide good protection for your device. Full video below:

looks lame to me, honestly, as well as bulkier than it needs to be. Too much dust/lint. That's an obvious problem just from the outset of the video itself.
I use gadget shieldz on the screen and body, and extra measure of protection, I have a TPU cover over the body. doesn't add any bulk and the phone is WELL protected.

Some of us need heavy duty protection due to the environment we are in on a daily basis. This is the kind of case I need. I have the Seidio Active Case and the Trident case. I am awaiting this case to do a three way video comparison. Hopefully mine will arrive in a couple of days. The winner will be my daily use case and the others will be sold off here.

Yeah, I agree! Not everyone handles their phone the same way.
I'll be taking requests for case/accessories people would like to see on video if anyone is interested, on my main channel I post Galaxy S2 videos so I'm using my secondary for Sensation. Feel free to ask for anything and I'll try my best to get my hands on it

Most of the photos I've seen of this case make the hard shell look more grey than black. Is it actually a nice dark black or is it more grey?

I got this Case and I love it, doesnt add that much bulk. Of course my case for the hd2 was an Otter Box defender series. Over all I LOVE this case, I love the way it feels in my hand, and it seems to be fairly durable. Id recommend it.

Yeah I like the case a lot too, I'm excited to get the Otterbox Commuter and see how it compares.

Sensation has got a couple of sensors built around the camera etc.
2 around the camera, 1 just beside speaker(?)
2 more close to the USB jack and lastly 1 more close to the back housing catch
My question, after putting case mate, does it effect any of the cam functions
And Especially the reception since the antenna is behind the sensation.

It's time to put an end to this theory. No, covering these holes DOES NOT affect reception or usability.

Are you sure?

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.

Awww man I just jumped the gun two days ago on the barely there in black. Can anyone post like comparison pictures and compare them cuz I might end up buying the feather later.

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.

Been rocking the black with my white HOX. Love it!
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.
