Cases

Really after a case to keep my phone in pristine condition but seeing as no shops in town have accessories yet I don't really want to buy completely blind online.
How many people have bought a case for their Sensation? If you have would you be able to give a link to which one you bought and a quick review of it?
Mobilefun has just got 2 different case-mate options in stock, I was thinking of going for their 'barely there' case for £15.95 - anyone ordered one of those yet?
My other two options are either waiting for the official HTC TPU case to come in stock or mobilefun have their own case which looks quite good for £10 - just called 'frosted back cover' but not sure if that'll be as good quality as the others.
Any recommendations?
I'm after something a bit rubberised but not floppy like silicone ones, quite a moulded fit round the back of the phone and preferably without adding too much bulk.

Bought mine from ebay, gel case under 2 quid. I am satisfied with it.

Also just got in from the factory high gloss black and high gloss smoke (no pattern). Clear GeoTPU and High Gloss Grey will be coming later in the month.
All of our Sensation cases have a cutout for the power button and a molded volume rocker. Thin, lightweight... weigh about 21 grams, raised wrap around edges.

And High Gloss Smoke (no-pattern)....

Thats pretty nice-looking! Hope it will be available on amazon germany soon. I like the pattern on the back.

I do put them on Amazon but I only have US shipping options on there. I had done worldwide before but Amazon gives customers an estimate of I believe 14 days for First Class Mail, and in my experience MANY packages take longer then that to certain destinations depending on customs. This causes customers to be very upset when they dont have their case after 14 days. Not good for feedback

Looks nice, but I'm in the UK, preferably after something with more of a matte finish too

Those are exactly what I want. I'll be grabbing a black one when they go up.

Very nice! Just put my order in for a smoked one. ;-)

Are you the maker of those? I just bought one on ebay. I love TPU cases.

Interesting. I have a very similar looking case (but not an official tpu one).
Mine doesn't have any of the small circular cut-outs near the camera and the speaker on the back, nor for the double small holes near the bottom of the case.
What am I missing out on?!

I've bought an official one on Play but at this rate I'm thinking it's going to be closer to Christmas before I see it. I'm more interested as to whether it will actually add something to the phone and make it easier to hold. The phone just seems too thin and slippery at the moment; I don't trust myself holding it!

I ordered this on Monday, and it already arrived today. It looks and feels great on my phone. thanks!

You guys should be careful with these hard tpu rubber kind of cases. I bought on from eBay and I thought it was perfect
It fit really nice and felt good but when I took it off and looked at my phone
I saw some very very small almost invisible scratches from the edge of the case where the lip touches the edge of the glass on the phone
On my phone on the thin black piece that goes between the glass and back casing.
So I decided to buy another case but got a soft silicon case just to make sure it wont scratch my phone

Should have left the power button covered. I like it better keeps the button finish from wearing. too bad I liked the case but oh well.

Hey guys,
I'm just wondering if there's any advantage of getting a case for the sensation at all?.. Since unlike other phones, the battery cover of the sensation is practically the shell itself. So why not just get a replacement battery cover for ~$50 on ebay when your original one is scratched and save all the hassle?

Just received my case today. It's looking really great and feels good.
In my opinion the volume rocker is very hard to use, I can't press it like I used to. There seems to be a certain position where it can be used easily, may take some time to get used to.
Also the power button is a bit hard to reach. having it covered, like the volume rocker, would probably have made it easier to press.

Unusual wear using Body Glove case

So I've had the Body Glove case for about a week now. It's the one with the removable belt clip/kickstand. Anyway, around the rear speaker I now have some indentations caused by the case. They appear to be permanent scratches. Kind of bugging the **** out of me. Can anyone with this case, take theirs off and see if they have the same issue?

Oh man. thanks for posting this picture. My case is definitely going back the minute I get it.

Thanks for the info indeed! I just looked at my phone due to your pics and I do see some minor indentations as well around the speaker like you and also around the camera. Not too bad, I can hardly see them, but I know they are there. I'm getting some other back cases in to cover it up but if I wasn't I would have bought those replacement covers on ebay.
To all, please check your phones! I'm removing this blasted case now...argh...

A heads up to those who have and/or will read this and are affected. According to tmonews, on Monday TMo will be offering a 50% off accessories coupon via their facebook page. Just print and take to a tmo store. I have every intention of returning this case and then using the coupon to get a different case for half off. For those that prefer instant gratification in exchange for paying a couple extra bucks, this offer is a great deal.

Edit: I felt this info would be pertinent enough to start an individual thread for it. If anyone feels leaving this post here in this thread is inappropriate, let me know and I will remove it.

Hopefully this thread will help people avoid that case. I use the black gel that's sold in the tmobile stores and I actually really like this case. I hated the gel for the hd2, but I used it just because. This one I actually keep on it all the time. It's that nice imo.

I have the same problem on mine too. I'm gonna get the black gel case tomorrow.

There are 2 solutions...one invisishield your device or stop using the case...what a bummer. I really love this case. I'm gonna do an exchange here soon and I'll invisishield it first and see the difference.

Just saw this case at the store, but decided against it!

I've had similar indentation problems with the other two-tone Body Glove case (no kickstand) that T-Mobile sells but around the 3.5mm headphone jack on top instead. After a couple days with the case off the indentations have gone away. I haven't put the case back on.
Trying to figure out if I should keep it naked or look for a different case to replace the Body Glove.

I also have the Body Glove case w/kickstand - but haven't seen this problem. Had it for about 2 weeks. Just took it off to check.
I'm gonna try not to worry about it.
Kind of feel like any hard case that comes out especially the tight ones, or even some of the gel cases will end up leaving a mark on the device in some way.

Me too :-[

Hi all,
I stand corrected and noticed the blemish by the speaker today. Very slight but there.
Is everyone planning on returning the Body Glove case w/kick stand? I am on the fence about returning the case - doesn't seem to be in any other areas and I figure I've had it on for the past 2 1/2 weeks so any other blemishes probably would have shown up by now.

Not returning mine. I got mine from wirelessground.com and for the price I personally do not think it's worth returning the case. I have since removed the case and awaiting a few barely there type cases from china.
But I already have a universal clip pouch that I bought from ebay which works well in protecting the phone IMO. Its kind of bulky but I cannot complain whereas I dropped my phone (about 3 feet high) the other night in the case and held up excellent.

Hey guys I work at a t-mobile corp retail store and all t-mobile stores should havegotten an email to pull the bodyglove two tone cases off the shelves. There is a fitment issue as well as what you guys are pointing out. Just an fyi I guess! GL

For the case being pulled, are you talking about the body glove icon case without the kickstand? I think that was mentioned on the other body glove thread and has caused some confusion because body glove has 2 different cases for the sensation. 1 with kickstand and 1 without.
Thanks

No, I think it's just the two tone body glove cases, because they leave a gap when put on the phone between the two parts of the case.
good thing tmo recognized it, though!

manufacturing flaw i suppose.. ive had mine on for 2 weeks now and had no issue with that, compared cases and your plastic looks imbezzled pointing inside the case causing the cuts, mine doesnt have that.. guess im lucky @[email protected]

Yeah the first email we all got was special instructions of how to put the case on. You are supposed to put the top left corner of the phone in first and then snap the other side in. I believe it has something to do with the curved glass. To be specific on which cases are being pulled from the shelves they are the two tone bodyglove cases that come in a pink or a grey.

[Q] Best Case and Screen Protector?

Anyone recommend a nice durable case that offer the most overall protection, with preferably not making it bulky? And what's a nice screen protector? I'm not really rough on my phones, but stuff happens. I just want to be protected.
I came across HTCDepot.com, is that generally a nice, legit site? I came across another one like HTCSensation4gaccessories.com or something, and it doesn't seem too legit.
Thanks

Here's my setup:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=ef4f8d65c98ae0a31c33842ab6b7dec1
A great case. Offers excellent protection, nice grip, and looks cool
For a screen protector:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-sensation-4g-skin-566
Does the job rather nicely.
Excellent setup for protection and low-profile, IMO

What's the name of your case? That link doesn't work.
Thanks

I'll go for case mate. Just order one and i also have case mate with my vibrant.

My mistake. Follow the link, and just click on HTC Sensation 4G.
I have the smoked TPU case. Looks gorgeous.

I would recommend the smoked case as well. Some cases don't have all the holes cut out, so be wary of that when looking.

I already have screen protector and now thinking to get a cover. I have a question though, will the cover interfere with my WiFi or bluetooth signals as i see that wifi signal strength drops when i cover the upper area of phone. Will cover do the same thing ? what is yr experience ?

I agree with the tpu case I have the smoke grey color and it looks real nice.

I have the Incipio NGP. http://www.myincipio.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-NGP-Semi-Rigid-Soft-Shell-Case.asp
This things is probably one of the best cases I've ever had as far as my uses go. It's a great fit, extremely durable, and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
My only complaint is that the cutout for the USB port is a little tight, so a lot of third party USB cables will push the case around when you plug them in. The HTC one is fine because the housing on it is nice and compact, but the bigger/more squared off housing on a lot of other cables just doesn't fit as well.
I use Ghost Armor for the screen, mainly because there's a kiosk at the mall near work, and they'll install it for me so I don't get air bubbles, etc.

This one is a lot more rigid than the one T-Mo had from what I can tell.
It has almost no flex around the edges once it's in place. The T-Mo one seemed kind of "floppy" to me.

Looks like an ordinary silicone case to me.
Does it attract a lot of dirt and dusts? (I had that problem with my T-Mobile Sensation 4G silicone case. Got rid of it for a TPU-case smoke grey)

No, it's not typical silicon case. It's much harder material and does not attract any dirt or dust. This is far more like TPU, but all the TPU cases I've seen for this phone were glossy, this has a matte finish.

CaseMate "Barely There" is the one for me.
Its wafer thin, very strong, and adds that little extra grip that the Sensation needs to stop it sliding around in your hand.
Cant reccomend it highly enough. Attached are some pics i took of it.

[Q] Anyone tried Case-Mate Pop! for HTC Sensation Hard Case?

Doing hours of research on all diffrent types of cases i can apon the theory that case-mate are some of the best cases for the phone.. but i can across these Pop! branded hard cases and wanted to know if anyone else has one or seen one in the wild and what there thoughts are.. The case looks great, but its a heafty $34.00 for one.

I love the case, I have the black and grey version and I've been using it for just over 2 weeks now. The grey is a nice soft tactile grip and the main part of the case is a nice hard and smooth rubber compound that feels more like plastic then rubber. Fits the phone very nice, and its a dream to hold on to. But its a pain to take it out if you ever need to get access to the battery or memory card.
The only real con I found is that glossy black plastic scratches easily and shows the scratches but better the case then my phone.
Buttons are very easy to push and you don't have to struggle with them.
Now I have had one accident since I've had my case and I know it saved my phone from damage.
If there was an Otterbox Defender for out phone it would be over $60 and provide about the same protection. I'd would recommend this case.

I don't understand how people scratche their HTC!
Its the only devices that have unscratchable materials,I had an N1, DHD and now Sensation with no cases...never had any single scratches (apart the N1 screen)

If you haven't made the purchase yet, take a look at the Seidio Active case for the sensation. I've had it about a week now and it is a fantastic case. Not too much bulk, cutouts are positioned perfectly, and buttons are easily accessible. Plus I bought the one with the kick stand built in, which is a nice extra feature.

Also I have received Tough Case and Barely There Case today from case-mate.
I can say POP! case is far the best, gives the best protection.
Barely There case is even funny. It has almost no protection from dropping the phone. It just makes 1mm protection from scraches.
And the tough case is like cheaper version of POP! version. And there isn't so much gum or silicone whathever the material inside is in the tough case that it is in POP!.
POP is far the best case for me yet (from case-mate production).

Another Coupon for site-wide 25% discount.

I know this thread is a bit old, but just got this case in the mail today. From the experienced guys who have this case...what is the best way to start taking the case off?
Work from the bottom up? Bottom down? Or sides? For the life of me I have no clue Feel like I'm gonna split the phone in half, trying to get this on or off!
Thanks!

To case or not to case?

I've ordered 3 cases, received 2 so far. Both are just ok. Nothing looks as good as the naked phone. What caseems (if any) is everyone using? Those who don't use a case, do you worrun about scratching the camera or screen when laying it down? Thanks.

I keep my phone in a sunglass bag and in general it's always worked well. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the S6 because one drop can crack the entire back. Plastic may not be "premium" but it is a lot harder to break. That being said I'm not even sure a case would prevent a crack just from shock rather than a direct hit. It'll be interesting to see how many phones get messed up in the next couple of weeks.

A lot of reviews seem to indicate that the S6 is rather slippery. That alone would warrant a case for a lot of people, I'm sure. It prompted me to order one.
A case probably won't save the phone from a high drop, unless getting something pretty bulky. I'd rather get something slimmer to protect the edges and back from scratches and chips and just be diligent about not dropping it. The case I got is the gunmetal version of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Though I think they sent me the slate one by mistake because the color is nothing like the pics on Amazon...

As painful as it will be, I'd suggest using a case. I went with a case from LUVVITT that has a transparent scratch resistant back. So while I can't see the metal sides of my phone, I can at least see the back of the phone, plus at least I know it's safe

I'm going to put a case on first months because I need to get used to shape and form I'm always clumsy first months now I use my s5 without any protection since September nothing happen but on first months the more I take care the more I hit the phone on surfaces.

i've always used the flygrip on my devices but also always used it on a case , i never ever ever have droped my phone once my fingers are locked into the flygrip. i will however be putting a case on this device.

i just ordered this same case, but in clear. hopefully i can stand having it on my phone. i should have put the phone in a case the moment i got it, so i that i would not have enjoyed it for a few days without one and i wouldn't want to continue to carry it without one. haha.

When you get this + your phone, I would like to know what you think of the case.

will the otter box cases be ok with the wireless charging pad ?

It's on the way I should receive it day 10 then I post pictures myself I always buy 2 or 3 cases in the first months after that I use it without a case

Already Ordered front and back Tempered glass with metal bumper case. and didn't receive anything yet.
That combo worked fine with my Z2

Agreed. I have the regular S6 and with the glass on the front and back, it can slip right out of a loose pocket. EASILY. I bought the Spigen NeoHybrid case and I have zero complaints on it.

The official Otterbox site says "no" (at least for the Commuter cases), but lots of anecdotal evidence gives a qualified "yes." I suspect Otterbox's flat refusal is so nobody will ask for their money back if the wireless charging doesn't work.

The longest I've ever used a case was maybe two days. I hate cases because they make the phone feel bulky and I prefer to feel the actually phone.
But a couple weeks I dropped my Z3 on tile, cracked the front glass and part of the screen doesn't respond to touch. So, the S6 case is on the way. I'll save money in the long run from having to replace screens.
